Chapter 15
Naruto woke up to Sasuke's phone going off and rolled around looking for Sasuke to push off the bed but didn't find him. Naruto shuffled over to check the number and saw it was Itachi so he did what Sasuke normally did with most calls-ignored it. Naruto rolled out of bed and moved his newly pierced tongue around in his mouth happy that the swelling had gone down. Naruto walked around and found Sasuke in the bathroom asleep against the wall with an ice pack in his hand.
"That does not look sexy Teme..." Naruto said remembering the comment from the night before. Naruto walked around the condo for a bit before opening the freezer and pulled out an ice cream sandwich became the best idea. About half way through the sandwich there was a knock on the door and Naruto looked through the peep hole and saw Juugo holding Hiruzen. Naruto opened the door and looked for Karin...
"She's not here." Juugo said calmly.
"Hey buddy!" Naruto said to Hiruzen who was already looking at the ice cream sandwich.
Juugo handed Hiruzen to Naruto and the toddler was reaching for the sandwich and Naruto wasn't handing it over.
"How's Sasuke?"
"Hungover." Naruto swiftly replied.
"Tell him I said feel better." And with that Juugo left.
Naruto shut the door and gave Hiruzen a small bit of the sandwich and smiled when Hiruzen made a confused face and shuddered.
"Cold, huh?"
Hiruzen replied by rubbing his lips together and licking them. Naruto pressed a little kiss to Hiruzen's cheek.
"Daddy..." Hiruzen said. Naruto smiled and pointed out Sasuke to Hiruzen. He set him down and Hiruzen walked over and hugged Sasuke burying his little face into Sasuke s chest which immediately woke him up and Naruto saw sheer pain come across his face.
"Hi... Hiruzen." Sasuke breathed out shakily.
"Food." Hiruzen said cocking his head to the side.
"Naruto... Can you get him Cheerios... Or whatever he wants." Sasuke said quickly holding his chest.
Naruto burst out laughing and Hiruzen stared at the blonde man trying to decide if he should laugh too before walking over and poking him.
"Come on let's go get food." Naruto said still laughing. Hiruzen took Naruto's hand and they went in the kitchen. Naruto almost grabbed the Cheerios... But looked at Hiruzen who was looking at the box with wide eyes waiting for them to come down.
"No." Naruto said waiting for the reaction. Hiruzen almost instantaneously started to cry and threw himself on the ground. Naruto grabbed the box and Hiruzen stopped.
"Just like your daddy with sex..." Naruto said before pouring them in the bowl and handing the bowl to the happy almost one year old.
"I heard that." Naruto heard Sasuke saw from the bathroom and felt the dark aura seep into the room.
Naruto started snickering before pouring himself a bowl of cereal and pouring milk over it. He grabbed a spoon and walking out into the living room and turned the t.v. on. Hiruzen walked over and looked at Naruto's bowl and then back at his own. Naruto took a small bit and let Hiruzen try it mixed with milk which apparently wasn't a hit.
"Ew."
"Teme! Your kid will drink milk and eat cereal... But not together. What's up with that?"
"I don't know." Was the reply.
Sasuke climbed up off the floor and washed his face and used mouth wash. He looked at his chest and saw it was starting to heal. He wanted to take them out. Partying with Naruto was going to require some sobriety from now on so he could effectively fight off people who intended to cause bodily harm to him. He staggered out of the bathroom and collapsed on the couch next to Naruto.
"I want to take them out." Sasuke said.
"Do they hurt that bad?"
"Not really. I just don't want them."
"Well then take them out. I think it's hot, but that's just me. I'm keeping mine. I'm already used to it." Naruto said taking another bite of food.
Sasuke slumped further into the couch and shut his eyes," What kind of stupid things did you used to do in Los Angeles..."
"Starting from which age?"
"16."
"I'll go with the memorable ones then... My senior year of high school me and all the guys kidnapped our rivals mascot for homecoming. Turns out the guy was a total stoner and only became the school mascot cause he was a bit of a furry."
Sasuke eyes snapped open and he turned his head to Naruto.
"For my bachelor party we crashed the girls bachelorette party and stole their strippers. Sakura was pissed."
"In college Kiba and I cross-dressed to get into a sorority which worked for like 2 hours."
"Uh... When I bought my old house we broke the stair rail during a sledding tournament and we also tried to christen the house and the paint on the door got messed up from the champagne. The second attempt at alcohol in the house took out the front window."
"Never let Naruto and his friends in my house together with alcohol... Check." Sasuke said in a sleepy tone.
"Hey.. That's not right. Anyways I think we've all grown out of that stage a bit. Everyone is getting married and having kids..."
"Do you want children?"
"Yea. I love kids. I don't know if that became obvious to you or not. I'm actually going to be a godfather. And they are killing me by not revealing the sex of the baby... Until its born." Naruto said clearly annoyed.
"That's no fun." Sasuke said trying to stay awake.
"Nope. Damn lesbians holding out on me." Naruto said smirking and Sasuke shook his head.
"Well, if we get married you'd become a step-father to Hiruzen."
Naruto hadn't actually thought of that. "Isn't it a bit early to talk about marriage?"
"What would you say if I ran down to Tiffany's right now got a ring and proposed?" Sasuke asked actually humored.
"It depends on what ring you bring home."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, if you bring me a woman's ring I'll put it on and back hand you with it and I'll kick your ass."
"Well at least you'd put it on." Sasuke said slightly laughing. "But that didn't answer my question."
"I'd call you an asshole and say try again." Naruto said and shoved Sasuke slightly. "When is Hiruzen's birthday?"
"December 22nd... Why?"
"His birthday is in two weeks?!"
"Yes..."
"Are we going to throw him a party? Do you know any other kids his age" Naruto said rushing his sentences.
"He's turning one. He won't remember it."
"We will! Throw your kid a damn party!"
"You can throw him a party. I was going to take him to the park for the day and let him eat Cheerios all day."
"Seriously?"
"Well, yeah. His birthday is so close to Christmas. He's going to get a ton of presents either way. Might as well put it all on one day."
"We are throwing him a party..." Naruto grumbled.
"Whatever..." Sasuke said before falling asleep. Naruto put his dish away and kicked Sasuke in the leg telling him to wake up and that he was going to shower. Naruto took a nice long shower and came out to see Sasuke had fallen asleep and Hiruzen was passing the time by putting Cheerios in Sasuke's mouth. Naruto quietly got his phone and video taped the segment and sent it to Itachi.
" : He never learns."
Naruto texted back, "We are going to throw Hiruzen a birthday party, can you help plan?"
" : I'll organize the entire thing. Just show up. If Sasuke's involved it won't be any fun for anyone."
Naruto snickered and kept snickering when Hiruzen straight up dumped the bowl in Sasuke's mouth and the man woke up choking.
"I wish I'd gotten that part on camera." Naruto said sighing.
Sasuke went about cleaning the house and throwing away old clothes and Naruto kept Hiruzen entertained. Sasuke packed away a few things that were Hiruzen's favorites at different stages in his first year, but threw the other stuff in a box that would get donated.
"What's your kid going to play with for two weeks."
"You. And he doesn't play much at home since he's usually tired out from playing at the office. Besides, I'd rather do it now instead of procrastinate and have a mountain of toys flooding out from Hiruzen's room."
"He'd be the happiest kid alive."
"Until his father breaks his neck trying to get to him."
Sasuke got everything clean and put back to where it belonged. Now what? He couldn't molest his blonde since his nipples were in pain and sensitive and he wasn't going to risk Naruto even grazing them a bit. Hiruzen was watching some cartoon and Sasuke could stop the comment from flying into his head that Hiruzen and Naruto had the same facial expression while watching the show.
"I'm going to shower."
"K..." Naruto answered completely absorbed in the show.
Sasuke walked into the bathroom and stripped reflecting on the past month or so of his life. It had gone from borderline depressing to somewhat enjoyable. The blonde guy he'd taken too on a whim was living with him and his son and they all fit together.
Sasuke stepped in the shower and rinsed off and got clean. He washed all the glitter, alcohol and bad decisions from the night before and dried only to make a face realizing there was a reminder of last nights shenanigans on his chest. He cleaned the piercings and decided that for now, he would leave them.
Sasuke left the bathroom and got dressed in one of his go-to outfits and pressed a kiss on Naruto's lips snapping him out of his stupor.
"I'm going to go shopping. Either you two can come with or hang out. Your choice." Sasuke said and knew from how lazy Naruto looked he wasn't going.
"Have fun..." Naruto said with a smirk.
"Good choice." Sasuke said fully aware of how long he would take shopping.
Sasuke went downstairs and eventually found himself at, more or less, one of his happy places. Harrods.
Sasuke walked inside and smelled a few different colognes and selected one for himself and one for Naruto. He took his purchases and went to the clothing areas and almost immediately had an employee to assist him. Sasuke picked out a couple of tasteful suits for himself and his blonde as well along with all the appropriate accessories.
Now, he hadn't wanted to alarm Naruto, but- he wasn't shopping because he wanted too. At least not this time. No. He was shopping to make polish Naruto even further because his parents were flying to London for the holidays which they insisted must be spent as a family. He knew his parents would accept anyone Sasuke chose, but Sasuke wanted them to love Naruto. So, Naruto was going to put diamonds to shame for all the dinners they would be going out too. So yes, Sasuke was going to put in the extra effort, while also buying a few things for himself. The poor employees knees were about to give out from holding all that clothing.
Sasuke got them to hold all his purchases since he wasn't going to carry all that while he finished buying everything he needed too.
Sasuke bought Hiruzen a Harrods bear since he kept seeing them everywhere anyway and his son would use it as a body pillow and made his way down to the jewelry department. He picked out a few things to give to his mother as presents from himself, Itachi, Kisame, Naruto and Hiruzen. Sasuke also picked out a watch for his father, which was a tradition, and Itachi would probably order him ties or something. Sasuke froze at one of the counters and saw a large display of women's rings and the conversation from earlier popped into his head... What would Naruto actually say if he seriously proposed? It was early on in their relationship though, but Sasuke was pushing 30 and it was something that was in his mind more often than not. If Naruto proposed to him he'd probably say yes.
Sasuke walked away from the women's ring... And then turned around and bought a ring anyway, although it was a man's ring. It came in a classic Tiffany blue box and Sasuke walked away with a pleased expression on his face.
Sasuke finished his cardio exercise and moved onto strength training by going back to get the clothes and cologne and he carried everything out of Harrod's making a mental note to start going to the gym or bring a pack mule next time. He called his driver and they shoved half the stuff in the trunk and everything else in the back seat.
Sasuke's driver hated shopping sprees.
They got back to the condo and Sasuke driver helped carry half of the purchases upstairs and left them at the door. Sasuke tipped him and Naruto came and opened the door as the driver stepped on the elevator.
"Teme... You have a serious problem" Naruto said looking at the mountain of purchases
"It's not a problem, but lunch would be nice."
"You are a shopping addict!"
"Am not... Just privileged enough to be able to buy whatever I want when I want."
"Yeah... I'm finding a support group for you before this bad habit rubs off onto Hiruzen."
Sasuke placed his half of the stuff inside and brought what the driver carried up inside afterward. Hiruzen walked over and started looking through the bags and Sasuke handed Hiruzen his new bear which got a hug and a kiss from Hiruzen. The toddler seemed pleased with his present that he went back to sitting in front of the t.v. ignoring them. Sasuke laid out all the new clothes into two piles.
"Alright, this stuff is yours. Hang them up and don't wear them until I tell you too." Sasuke instructed.
"Why?"
"Because. These are the suits your going to wear when you meet and spent time with my parents."
"I'm sorry, did you say parents?"
"Yes... Why, is this a problem?"
"Yeah it's a problem! When are they getting here so I can leave the country! Teme, I suck at meeting parents. Sakura's father gave me hell because of my first impression. I'm going to make a total ass of myself."
"Just be yourself. That's charming enough. But don't cuss around my mother. She will hold your jaw in a death grip."
Naruto snapped his mouth shut and threw himself on the couch mourning the prospective loss of his relationship.
Sasuke let Naruto mope around the house the next day and took Hiruzen to work with him so Naruto could be depressed in the house alone. He informed the doorman to call him if Naruto left the building. Sasuke dropped Hiruzen off in Itachi's office who was a little more delighted to see his nephew than usual.
Sasuke slumped back into his office seeing a large envelope on his desk and he opened it seeing it was just Naruto's work history. Sasuke pushed it off to the side for the moment. He might as well look at that when he ran out of things to do. Sasuke spent his morning much as he normally did which was by answering a ton of e-mails and putting all the ones from Karin into its own folder. He reviewed employee performance and had to call in two department managers to inform them that they were not where they should be and to get their departments moving. His fathers soon to be arrival would throw the whole building into a frenzy so might as well correct everything now.
Lunch time came up and Sasuke grabbed Hiruzen and left the building before any woman could stop him. He took his son to a little cafe and bought Hiruzen some cookies, oatmeal and milk for his son and a sandwich and some tea for himself. When he as just about finished eating he almost threw the food back up. Sakura and Lee walked in. Lee in all green and Sakura in pink and red. That was a fashion crisis.
"Mr. Uchiha! What a pleasure to see you and your son out and about on this lovely day."
"Lee, it's nice to see your still being a gentleman and escorting Sakura around." Translation- thank you for keeping her away from Naruto.
"It is my utmost pleasure to accompany my delicate flower around. Excuse me, I need to order lunch for my girls." Lee said and basically teleported to the counter.
"So your having a girl?"
"That's his guess." She said uninterested in speaking with the man.
"Baby." Hiruzen said pointing at Sakura's tummy.
"Yes. She is having a baby Hiruzen. Very good." Sasuke confirmed and began wondering what the hell his child was watching on t.v.
"Look, Ms... Sakura. I have a favor to ask of you."
"Oh? And what do I get out of it?"
"Something within reason."
Sakura eyed him sharply.
"How did you get Naruto to meet your parents?"
"That's it... That's what you want to know?"
Sasuke nodded. Sakura tapped her fingers to her lips.
"Give Lee a promotion and a pay raise."
"Done."
"I tricked him and didn't tell him where we were actually going. He spaces out easily." She turned around and followed Lee over to another table and Sasuke threw his and abiruzens trash away and picked Hiruzen up and carried him back to the office. How to trick Naruto into meeting his parents... He already had a warning they'd be arriving- but he didn't know when. Sasuke nodded to himself devising a plan. Naruto would immediately fall in love with his mother, just about everyone did. But, his father was agreeably rougher on the edges. Sasuke sucked his teeth and went back up to his office letting Hiruzen hang out in his office. He handed his son a stack of papers that needed to be shredded and watched as he tore them to shreds happily.
Sasuke finished up his actual work for the day before turning his attention back on what he wanted to do. Laugh at Naruto's work history. Sasuke opened the envelope and saw Naruto had started working at 16-at a family fun center. At 18 he briefly held a job working with dogs. At 19 he worked at Game Stop. At 19.5 Naruto worked at some fast food place... All in all nothing jumped out at Sasuke as remotely entertaining- strike that Naruto worked at a strip club for two weeks.
Sasuke flipped the page to the most recent work history and that grabbed his attention rather fast. Jinchuriki Industries. Sasuke shuffled through his desk and pulled up his papers that were his competition and possible future properties to acquire. Sure enough Jinchuriki was one of the companies barely above water, but it wasn't one he was planning on grabbing. He knew the CEO and that idiot would drag it out for years if he had too. It would've been a great buy and investment for him. The second issue was location... It was located in Los Angeles and even though Karin would probably follow him, he couldn't necessarily gamble it.
Sasuke made a face. Naruto would pry love watching his former boss fall to his knees and beg and then Sasuke would forever be memorialize as a god in Naruto's eyes. Sasuke was going to have to prepare all his prospective companies and a briefing on his plan for either of them before his father would approve any of them.
Sasuke stretched his shoulders back slightly flinching when his shirt rubbed against his very sensitive nipples.
"That blowjob better be amazing Dobe..." Sasuke grumbled.
Sasuke looked at the clocked and waved it off decided to work of his presentations at home, where he could take his shirt off because every time his shirt brushed against his still very sensitive nipples it was a mini turn on. Sasuke picked his son up, who had done an amazing job at shredding all of the paperwork up, and set him on the desk. He packed everything he needed up and put them in a messenger bag that he almost never used, and left.
