Sasuke had received a phone call telling him to start packing his things up and that he, Naruto and Hiruzen's plane tickets for Los Angeles were purchased and that they would not need to be present during any of Karin's court things. Sasuke groaned. He didn't want to pack all his crap up. Boxes had been brought up and scattered the living room.
"Alright, so my place is furnished so we don't need to really have any of it brought over..." Naruto said talking to himself.
Sasuke scrunched his face up. Naruto didn't seriously think Sasuke wasn't going to redecorate his house either way.
"Wait till you see my house Teme. It is amazing. Walking distance to the ocean. Nice neighborhood mostly. Two and a half stories high - I say half cause the first floor is basically a door going to the stairs and another for the garage. Pool in the backyard. Hiruzen is going to love it!" Naruto said enthusiastically.
Sasuke was already mentally changing Naruto's house. Baby gates everywhere and the back door is going to have a lock on it.
"How much of it is orange?" Sasuke inquired.
"Haha very funny." Naruto said monotone.
Naruto disappeared into the room with an empty box and just kind of dumped his belongings in there. Naruto looked at the neatly packed boxes of sex toys and Sasuke's belongings and then gazed back at his own before shrugging.
Naruto packed his short sleeves shirts, jeans, shorts, sandals, boxers, sock and a pair of shoes in a suitcase leaving only a few outfits hanging up. The day before they needed to get on the plane the movers were going to pick up all the boxes leaving them with basically just suitcases and they'd stay in a hotel before heading off. Naruto sneaked a peak inside Sasuke's suitcase and saw it was exceptionally neat.
"Alright Sasuke. You love me right?" Naruto asked.
"What do you want?" Sasuke replied.
"Can we please go to the Harry Potter studio?" Naruto pleaded.
Sasuke sighed heavily. "Fine."
Naruto silently cheered.
Sasuke pulled his phone out and tapped away on it before pulling his wallet out and continuing tapping away.
"We will go tomorrow." Sasuke said tiredly and continued packing his things. Sasuke neatly stacked all the boxes in the living room and had actually boxed Hiruzen in very slowly and the one year old only cared once his view of the t.v. became blocked. By this point Sasuke took him outside the box fortress and kept stacking them until only one box remained which would contain the rest of their things that weren't going in the suitcase.
Deidara and Sasori would be moving into his condo after he left since he had no use for it. If he had to come back to London he would stay in Itachi's house.
Naruto had the weirdest sensation. He was moving back to Los Angeles... And he had never actually moved away to begin with. He just ended up having a very extended vacation. Naruto smiled to himself.
The next morning rolled around at at 6:30 Naruto woke up bright eyes and bushy tailed like it was Christmas Morning and he was five.
Naruto jumped off the bed and showered in record time getting dressed. He bolted into the kitchen and made pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy and toast. He poured some coffee and bolted back in the room seeing Sasuke was still asleep. Naruto picked up his pillow and whacked Sasuke across the back with it not eliciting any movement.
"Whoa!" Naruto shouted. Nothing.
Naruto climbed on the bed and spanked Sasuke across the ass hard. Nothing.
Naruto tapped a finger to his chin.
"Oh look... Here's a pair of scissors. And here's Sasuke clothes..." Naruto said raising his eyebrows seeing if Sasuke had moved at all.
Naruto walked out of the room and down the hall to Hiruzen's room picking the sleepy toddler up and setting the grumpy little man on the bed. Hiruzen crawled over sleepy to his Daddy and laid down next to him and Sasuke instinctively wrapped an arm around his son. Naruto climbed on the bed and started to pull Hiruzen out of Sasuke's grasp. Sasuke shuffled closer to Hiruzen and tightened his grip ultimately preventing this plan from working.
"You will never receive sex from me again for as long as I live if you do not wake your ass up now Uchiha." Naruto said normally.
Sasuke sat up slightly narrowing his eyes. "What?" He asked tiredly.
"Get up. I cooked your ass breakfast." Naruto said kicking Sasuke's feet.
Sasuke threw his blankets over and picked his son up and walked into the kitchen putting the now glaring toddler in a high chair and Naruto set down a torn up pancake, milk and a side of Cheerios in front of him. Hiruzen slowly started to eat and Sasuke sat down and ate his pretty much all carb breakfast and coffee at a slower than normal pace fixated on Naruto shoveling food into his black hole of a stomach.
"K! You two need to get dressed!" Naruto said setting his plate in the sink and picking Hiruzen up taking him to the bathroom for the quickest bath that baby would ever get and dressed him packing a diaper bag. Naruto came out to see Sasuke still at the counter eating.
"Teme! Go get ready!" Naruto whined.
Sasuke finished his coffee and strolled into the bedroom to get ready. Sasuke came back out with jeans, an Oxford shirt and a sweater over it and an overcoat. Naruto beamed at him and they all stepped out. They got downstairs and Sasuke called his driver.
Sasuke gave him directions and the driver dropped them off at a corner and Naruto looked around puzzled. Sasuke walked across the street with Naruto and Hiruzen in tow and went straight into a Starbucks ordering more coffee for himself.
"C'mon bastard. Pleeeaaase I want to go."
"I didn't sleep well last night. So excuse my needing coffee to ensure I can keep up with my Dobe of a boyfriend while he runs around a sound stage."
Naruto quieted down a bit. "How come you didn't sleep well?" Naruto asked concerned.
Sasuke shrugged. But he knew the answer. And Naruto would inevitably figure it out. Whether or not Naruto would connect the two was a different story. Sasuke was dreading the flight to Los Angeles let alone with Hiruzen. Sasuke was a seasoned traveler, but he still didn't like being in an airplane. Too many people in a small place for his taste. Flight attendants who spent too much time annoying him and turbulence.
Sasuke grabbed his coffee and walked back across followed by his boyfriend and son and then across to the other side walking to a hallway. Naruto deduced it was a shopping plaza. Sasuke made a left turn and saw Christmas decor being taken down and followed Sasuke who was still walking. The dark haired man made a left oblique and walked into a small office. But, Naruto didn't follow. Low and behold. A purple double decker bus... With Harry Potter all over it. Naruto walked over to the little sign and stood in front of it. Sasuke walked up beside him holding their tickets and stared at the infatuated look his boyfriend was giving a friggin bus.
"I wish you looked at me that way." Sasuke commented.
"Maybe when we get married." Naruto answered.
A group of kids surrounded them and Naruto looked down seeing the kids and glared. They were all chattering and rambunctious and were talking about how excited they were and it was irking Naruto. Ten minutes passed before a man in a conductor uniform stood with a clipboard and waited for everyone to quiet down.
"Alright, step forward one by one and give your name." He said clearly hating his job. Sasuke sympathized. If he had to drive a bus filled with brats twice a day he'd want to kill himself too.
Everything was still until Naruto jumped forward cutting off the little kids who were about to cut him.
"Uchiha." He said quickly. The man flipped the page and Sasuke handed him the confirmation and the man nodded his head and Naruto climbed onto the bus heading for the second level. And sat down in the back with a huge grin. He saw the line from his seat and grimaced. Slowly but surely everyone boarded and the bus pulled out of the station.
Nary to slid his hand into Hiruzen's diaper bag and pulled out two plastic champagne flutes and a small bottle of champagne and smirked at Sasuke. Sasuke looked around and nodded. Naruto took the bottle opener and popped the top off and poured the two glasses. Hiruzen had his face stuck to the window and was happily staring down at the cars driving by while the two adults drank the champagne a lot like a shot would be taken finishing the small bottle quickly.
"Well, that was a wonderful was to start off the day and commemorate this event." Sasuke said with his voice laced with amusement.
"Indeed." Naruto said with a smile.
"What's my son doing?" Sasuke asked confused.
Naruto checked, "Hiruzen! Don't lick the window!" Naruto said disgusted pulling the toddler down seeing drool all over the window.
"Hiruzen, don't be a window licker." Sasuke said seriously causing the toddler to smile.
Naruto gazed out the window and his face lit up once he saw the studio come into view. He squeezed Sasuke's knee and the smile on Naruto's face was contagious enough to make Sasuke smile. The three of them hopped off the bus and Sasuke cut Naruto off before his boyfriend sprinted forward.
"Rules- no, Hiruzen is not by any means getting Harry Potter glasses. If you at any moment feel like you cannot handle holding the toddler hand him to me. You may do Hiruzen's stamp booklet. You can take photos, but if I do not want to be present in them drop the issue. Here is your ticket." He said handing Naruto a ticket with Dobby on it. He put the other tickets in his pocket. He only bought Hiruzen one for the child booklet that Naruto would be doing.
He followed the direction Naruto had taken off in and walked in seeing a massive white Christmas tree still up and walls portraying the actors. He walked forward and followed Naruto into the line with the famous cupboard under the stairs and waited. Eventually a lady opened the doors and Sasuke tuned her out. They walked into a dark room and he felt Naruto shift and bounce in place as a movie played.
Sasuke was already immensely bored. He grabbed Hiruzen from Naruto deciding to entertain himself with his son. Once they walked out of the room they stood in front of the doors to The Great Hall and Sasuke's migraine started.
Naruto had his camera out and was clicking pictures as fast as he could.
"Such enthusiasm for a set..." Sasuke drawled.
"Shush... Take pictures of me." Naruto said happily and Sasuke resigned himself to taking photos of Naruto in front of the great hall, in the great hall, in front of costumes, all throughout the set piece department and he practically cheered once they passed into the outdoor patio. He still couldn't believe he had paid for Naruto to "fly" on a broom.
"Come on buddy. Diaper change time while Naruto hawks at everything here." Sasuke said handing Naruto back his camera and walked to the bathroom to change his son.
Naruto stared at the bridge. The Dursleys house. The Riddle gravestone. But his nose was turning him to the food stalls where he stood in the long line and waited.
"Dobe." Sasuke said walking up standing next to him.
"Butterbeer." Naruto said looking at the sign.
Sasuke just shook his head and passed Hiruzen to Naruto.
The rest of the tour was filled with smaller pieces, the creatures and the castle itself. Sasuke looked at the wands holding the names of the people who had worked on the films and sighed with relief when they walked in the gift shop.
"I'll be by the front. Whatever you want you can have. Just be quick. We need to eat before we get on the bus." Sasuke said shifting Hiruzen in his arms.
"You just gave me permission to have whatever I want here... Am I correct?"
"Naruto, when have I ever told you no?" Sasuke asked walking away.
Naruto paused. Sasuke had said no plenty of times. But if this was a yes... He might as well right?
In a small insignificant courtroom where Karin sat getting her charges listed off and Fugaku, Mikoto, Itachi and Kisame sat enjoying the justice Sasuke was receiving. Itachi was especially fond seeing her utterly over-all sad appearance in a prison jumpsuit and her hair making her look insane. She had practically burst through scanning too see if Sasuke was here and upon realizing he wasn't practically lost it and almost needed to be sedated. She was looking at least 10 years for child endangerment alone. At least a year for all her resisting arrest. A couple more years for disobeying all her restraining orders. And assault apparently for attacking a police officer... She wouldn't be seeing Hiruzen for a few years.
"Ma'am , you have some serious charges against you. And these don't include your prior charges or your personal suits against you. You realize in total you are looking at about 15 years in prison if you serve the full time? Your baby would be 16 and driving! Miss, you are digging yourself deeper and deeper. If you get another felony you are looking at life!"
Karin sat there quietly with her head tilted not even paying attention.
"Miss! Do you hear me?" The judge asked in an aggravated tone.
"I think Sasuke would look handsome in a read tie on our wedding day. I'll tell him."
Itachi groaned and rolled his eyes. "Your honor? She's gone." Itachi commented.
"I hereby sentence the defendant guilty of all charges and 15 years with the chance of parole after 7" and with that he slammed his gavel tone snapping her out of her stupor.
The officers picked her up and began leading her to the back where she began to struggle. The four of them watched and hear and officer shout in pain.
"Little bitch bit me!" He yelled.
"Parole after 10." The judge corrected.
The officer threw a bag over her head and they disappeared behind a door.
"Glad that's over." Itachi said getting up and stretching.
Kisame bent forward and kissed Itachi on the abdomen as his arms fell one hand falling on top of Kisames head so Itachi could stroke his hair before the other three stood and left.
"I just got a text from Itachi... It says the wicked witch is dead for 10-15." Naruto announced.
"How wonderful." Sasuke said before taking a bite of his sandwich while Hiruzen munched on a Cheeto.
Naruto took a sip of Dr. Pepper, relishing in the flavor seeing as it was almost impossible to find, for him at least, in London.
Naruto took a bite from his sandwich and smiled at Hiruzen who was more than happy to sit on the table.
"So, when we get to Los Angeles... Is there anything you want to do?" Naruto asked.
"Well, your the local there... What's there to do?"
"Uh, beach... Disneyland... Mall... Disneyland... Food." Naruto listed off rather bored.
"We could shop around." Sasuke nodded to himself.
"Yeah. Los Angeles doesn't have any cool historic monuments or castles really..." Naruto puckered his lips and smacked them.
"I have been before. Visited the museums. Quite interesting." Sasuke said with a smile.
"Hmmmm you're going to need sunscreen." Naruto commented looking between the both of them.
The driver dropped them off and Naruto lugged up his merchandise. Sasuke had indeed bought whatever he wanted and Naruto had no idea where he was going to put everything... But he would make it work. He placed everything in boxes and stripped down to shower. Sasuke cleaned up the kitchen from breakfast and ordered food to be delivered and brought up. He had no intention of cooking or leaving.
Naruto, Sasuke and Hiruzen stood outside Heathrow airport hugging everyone good bye even though his father would fly out in a few days and his brother would be flying in after a few weeks to ensure they were settled. Sasuke handed over his condo key to Itachi.
"See you in a few weeks Sasuke. Blondie, plan something epic. I mean it." Kisame said with a slight challenge tinting his words.
"I will plan something so epic you will need to redefine epic." Naruto said cockily and the men bubbled up laughing. "Teme, I need to make a call." Naruto said excusing himself.
He pulled his cell phone out and scrolled through his contacts and hit call. A smile rose on his face as he heard the ringing.
"Hello..." A voice spoke through the phone.
"Tenten, my goddess. This is your favorite sexy blonde male. I was wondering if you'd be available to pick me up from the airport. Me, my fine ass boyfriend and his baby." Naruto asked.
"What time?"
"Three is when our plane lands and its on time." Naruto replied.
"K... Do you need a car seat?" She asked.
Naruto put the phone to his chest and realized Sasuke didn't have a car seat.
"Yep... I'll pay you back." Naruto answered. "See you in a few hours and give Hinata and my amazing god baby a hug and kiss!" Naruto whispered before hanging up.
They went to the kiosk and checked in weighing their suitcases before walking off to their terminal with their carry on's.
"Oh crap..." Naruto said.
"What'd you forget?"
"The fact I'm going to be on an airplane with a one year old and a pervert." Naruto whined.
"You'll live. It's only ten hours." Sasuke replied with a smirk.
A/N: Halloween stories will start being posted next week... Cause it'll be October. The winner was given only the titles and the rating. No description was given. Lol.
In other news, if you guys have been wondering why my updates have been more stretched, its because I was doing the Halloween stories and I had a lot going on. :( but, hopefully the Xmas stories will just write smoothly and no one will pass away or be arrested (stupid brothers) or anything like that. Yes... Christmas stories... O.O
