Naruto doesn't remember falling asleep, but one moment is night and the next time he blinks he can see the sun shining through. His eyes are tired and he frowns as light reaches him, washing over his leg. He refuses to wake up fully, and the soreness of his muscles seem to agree. He blinks, forcing himself to open his eyes, and there is a weariness laying on top of him that doesn't seem to want to go away.
The room is quiet and Naruto turns on his side, slowly, because he remembers where he is now. Hinata is sleeping soundly, and the hand that rests over his arm is enough to make his anxiousness soar.
If only he could spare all that a war entails to his family.
He bites down the bitter laugh that threatens to spill as his fear rises. Rises enough for his breathing to get erratic and for him to realize where this is going.
Hinata shouldn't see him like this.
He sits with as much care as he can, stalls the wave of feelings he knows is coming until he's outside this room. He doesn't get to move his arm away from his wife, before she wakes up.
"Where are you g-going?"
It's her sleep-laced voice that stops him on his tracks. It's the way her hand digs into his arm and the way her eyes search for him with a hint of desperation that locks him in place. He falls to her, his nose hiding into her neck.
"I'm sorry." He whines, but Hinata only brings him closer to her, her hands on his body, touching and touching, as if making sure he's still there. Her worry is obvious, and Naruto breaks. "I'm scared," he whispers. A secret he wishes he didn't share the moment it's out in the open.
Hinata freezes a second, and Naruto relishes this short amount of time where he is free to voice his fears before putting on his brave facade again. He scoffs, ready to take back what he said, but Hinata searches for his face and brings him in front of hers.
"I'll- I'll protect you."
Naruto is left speechless for a moment, but Hinata's look is fierce and full of promise, and he can't help the emotion from reaching his eyes.
"Yeah?" He nuzzles her hand, his smile evident.
"Y-yes."
"Will you protect me?"
"Yes."
He scoffs against her hands, bites her fingers with mirth. "I love you." His own feelings subsided, his own resolution steeled.
His hand finds her belly and it travels up towards Hinata's chest. Slow and careful, the movement makes Hinata moan.
"Naruto," she mewls.
"Are you up for it?" His voice next to her ear, his mouth nibbling her skin.
She can barely make out a yes against Naruto's mouth, her own body firing up at his touch, at his warmth.
He searches her body. Her skin is tender near her chest and Naruto touches her with care, almost with reverence, the moment she squeals in discomfort.
"They are e-even bigger now," she shares, slightly ashamed. Moving her arm in a poor attempt to hide herself from Naruto.
He smirks. His head already filled with lust, his worries receding into the back of his mind. One hand covers Hinata's pregnant belly, big and heavy, and the other traces her legs. Her thighs raising to meet him.
"I'll be careful."
Her eyes are full with unshed tears and Naruto has an inkling they both know their situation. And they both have decided to -at least for now- try their best to forget it.
Naruto undoes the knot of Hinata's robes, and her hand keeps the fabric against her body. Her cheeks flushing furiously as Naruto's eyes wash over her.
"I-I, my body-"
Naruto understands what she means to say. Feels her embarrassment as she clutches the robe against the side of her belly, but she doesn't get to finish her sentence.
Naruto dives into her body and his wife squeals the moment his nose brushes against her thighs, his mouth sucks the skin under her belly. Her shame is overpowered by her lust and Naruto… Naruto kisses her so fervently, his own impetus transfers to her.
She misses him.
"I missed you." His breath is hot, his skin is hot, and the moment his mouth finds her down there Hinata lets out a few of the tears she's been holding back.
"I missed y-you too," she manages to say back, and Naruto scoffs against her, his breath hitting her and sending shivers up her spine.
She can barely see his head down there. His shoulders are half-uncovered and his tanned skin shines against the light coming into their room. Hinata tilts her head back, unable to control the pleasure filling her body.
Naruto's tongue is velvet, and the sounds her body is getting out of him fill her with pride. His finger presses against her entrance with a care Hinata loves, and the rise of her high is steady. Her muscles tense, her moans drip down her mouth and her hands search down her body, around her belly, trying and failing to reach Naruto, her body now unable to bend comfortably.
Naruto feels Hinata trying to reach him and once he knows she's on her way to climaxing, his hand anchoring her thigh reaches up. Along the way he traces every part he touches before interlocking fingers with her. She squeezes him, with her thighs and her hand. The rhythm is slow but steady and her walls clamp longer and stronger each time.
Her voice reverberates inside their room, loud and yet still constrained. Naruto can only imagine the way her mouth opens, the way her chest heaves, the way her head presses into the floor. His own penis pushes against his clothes, his hips yearning for friction and then Hinata traps his head between her legs. His ministrations don't stop, he slows his movements, but he accompanies her along, and then her body falls spent around him and Naruto rises. His mouth kisses a trail up Hinata's belly, even bigger than before, and the thought of his child being born in such dangerous times-
Her hand finds his and she pulls him towards her, his mind now elsewhere.
"Naruto?"
He stares at her, presses his hand down her belly with a care that makes Hinata worry.
"Na-"
"I'll protect you," he shares. His eyes traveling down and into his hand, "our kid, too."
The little spell from before now broken, Hinata does her best to remain calm. She doesn't want to overburden her husband so she remains quiet, her eyes fixated on his face, hard lines all over.
"I swear," he says then, his eyes now locked with hers, filled with anxiousness. "Believe me."
And Hinata can't keep her feelings in check anymore, because she does.
"I believe in y-you." Of course she does. She's just scared of what the results may be, of how it might affect Naruto. "I do."
Naruto brings her hand to his mouth, places a kiss on her palm. It feels like an oath.
And Hinata is scared of what's going on inside his head. She wishes to place an anchor and keep him from going away, she wishes he were more selfish and stayed with her and their child and-
"It's a b-boy."
Naruto startles. His eyes open up in surprise, and then… and then the softests of smiles appears on his face. He nuzzles Hinata's hand, affection dripping from him.
"Yeah? A boy?"
"S-Sakura checked up on me a little after you l-left and she told me…"
Naruto nibbles on her skin, licks the inner part of her wrist. His eyes closed, he lets the realization of his son hit him as he reaches Hinata's shoulder, then her neck and her cheek, his mouth dragging along towards her mouth.
Their kiss is slow and sloppy. Naruto presses his own body to hers, conscientious of his son between them. Hinata drags her hands along his body, pushing him towards her, inviting him towards her body. And Naruto follows.
His robe comes off with a swift movement and then he finds himself between her, his hands on her belly, movements swift and slow.
His movements only make Hinata crave his touch, crave his body. "F-faster-" she whines.
Naruto can feel the sweat pooling at his back, dripping down his neck. Hinata's request sends a shiver down his spine, and without missing a beat he pulls out, earning a whimper from her. He helps her rest on her side, her leg up his shoulder, the other beneath him. He enters her again with a sigh, her breasts bounce with the movement, harder this time, deeper.
Naruto has to rest his weight on his arms, his body inclined towards her, his legs working as anchors. He follows his high. Hinata searches for his arm, for his face. Her fingers drag across his cheeks, across his whisker marks. He bites at them, drool falling down her hand.
He comes inside, keeping himself there even after nothing comes out anymore. Hinata breathes heavy and Naruto brings her hands to him, to his chest.
"I'll protect us all," he swears.
"I want you to p-protect yourself."
The words catch him off guard, and Naruto scoffs.
The thought hadn't even crossed his mind.
•·································•·································•
Naruto's team arrives three days after him. To a clan under reconstruction, weary faces and unkempt appearances.
The moment they enter the territory of the clan Shino's bugs are met with those of other Aburame. A howl is heard in the distance and Kiba appears riding Akamaru.
"Hey!" His greeting is filled with emotion, but seeing the appearances of his friends is enough to change his face.
"You don't look that good yourself," Ino quips back. Kiba howls to the air, and runs the remaining distance.
"I'm glad you're all right," he says, as he gives quick hugs to each of them. "So that's the Uchiha, uh," he snarls, his nose moving along as he sniffs the air, frows burrowed. He looks to the distance as if he could manage to see from where he stands.
Ino nods, and Shino walks to Kiba, handing him the kid in his arms.
"Gotta hand him to the lord?"
"I will accompany you," Sai takes a step forward, "I will report to the lord," he lets Ino and Shino know.
Shino nods, and a second later a few Aburame's appear from the woods around them. Their own bugs buzz and Shino leaves without fanfare.
"Sakura will probably need more hands, I'll head to the infirmary."
Ino's blonde hair swirls as she walks away, and Kiba can't help but let his animosity grow. "Are you gonna call that bastard over?"
"No, first we'll hand the boy," his own head turns in the direction of the other Uchiha, "he…"
Kiba looks ready to run and start a fight, so Sai is quick to add. "The lord deemed him enough of a threat for us to use a hostage."
"This?" Kiba raises the boy, his limbs falling like those of a doll's.
"I am under the impression they are brothers."
"Oh."
Well, "Family always makes it harder."
•·································•·································•
Shikamaru is close enough for Naruto to hear his whispers. Ino sits in front of him, slightly to his side, her back is straight and tight. Sai manages to look even more uncomfortable than her.
Waiting more won't change anything. So Naruto calls for the Uchiha to come in.
His attitude remains the same as when they first met, and Naruto can't help but feel annoyed by it.
His brother a hostage, away and alone from his allies, seeking help. And yet he acts as if nothing can hurt him.
"So your name?"
"Itachi Uchiha, my lord."
Naruto can hear Shikamaru's pen running across parchment behind him.
"Let's hear what you have to say, any information worth knowing? Your brother is safe for now, I'm sure you know what will happen if you try to feed us false informa-"
"Madara Uchiha has found, trained and riled up every Uchiha alive in order to try and destroy every Beast Tamer alive."
Shikamaru's pen stops in its tracks. Naruto can't control his face, his muscles contorted in a grimace.
Ino looks back to her lord, shock and confusion clear in her eyes.
Sai is the only one whose face remains unchanged.
The room is silent and then Naruto speaks.
"What?"
