Chapter 16: I Forgive You

After dropping Naruto off at home, Sasuke hesitated before driving off. As he eventually left, Naruto was also feeling hesitant. He felt guilty because he didn't even tell any of his family that he was out of prison. In the beginning he had a plan once he was released but he thought he had more time to figure it out. When he learned that he was getting out this week, he made the decision to return home and surprise his family. After a lot of thought and procrastinating he decided after everything that wouldn't be such a good idea. But now he had no choice as he had left it too late. Either way they were going to be surprised. Naruto had refused everyone including Sasuke and his mother the right to visit him. Since he had already turned 18, he was legally an adult and held that right. As much as he knew it would hurt his mother, he felt it was better this way. Kushina had promised Naruto that if he got sent down she would get rid of his father since he wouldn't be around to protect her. He felt so guilty about everything that he was afraid to request a visit to ask her how it went and if she actually went through with it. In the end he decided against it, knowing that if she decided to let him stay it would drive him even crazier knowing he was still there.

As he approached the front door he realised he no longer had a house key in his possession. He swallowed his pride and went to knock on the door until a voice from behind stopped him.

"Naruto?"

He turned around to see a well-dressed teenager and to his shock it was his brother. "Yahiko? Is that you? What are you wearing?!" he teased, used to seeing his younger brother covered in piercings and punk.

"Shut up… I have a summer job now! I have to dress like this"

"You have a summer job?" He asked surprised but also proud. "Well look at you being all responsible!" the blonde said smiling. Yahiko walked quickly towards Naruto and hugged him, tight.

"H-hey!" he said surprised at the unfamiliar affection from his brother, "What is that for?" he continued in a soft tone.

"I've fucking missed you, asshole"

Naruto smiled. Apart from when they were younger, Naruto was never close to the twins as much as he wanted to be. Yahiko and Konan were always kind of rebels and looked up to Naruto but they never really hung out together because Naruto was always getting into so much trouble. It was nice to actually hear that his brother missed him, despite the bad influence he had on him.

Naruto pulled away from the hug feeling happy at the warm welcome. "So this summer job, you work all night? Don't you have to be over 18 to work nightshift?" he asked as he leaned against the wall.

"No… not exactly… I um…"

"What is it?"

"I'm sneaking back in…"

"Yahiko!" he said laughing. "Rebel. I hope you're not up to no good!"

"No its nothing like that I swear! I don't drink or do anything like that anymore it's just, I have a girlfriend"

Naruto smiled but also went into protective mode. "I hope you're being safe-"

"-Naruto! Stop!" Yahiko shook his head with his hands over his ears, "I know about the birds and the bees and condoms!"

The blonde laughed as he ruffled his brother's hair. "Aaah to be 15 again"

"Actually Naruto um…"

"Oh, that's right. You and Konan have turned 16 now"

"Come on, let's go inside" he said excitedly as he quietly opened the door. As he walked inside he was met with a blonde man.

"Oops".

"Yes Yahiko, oops. Have you any idea what time it is?"

At first glance Naruto thought it was his father but when he looked again he was way taller and his hair was shorter. He was also better looking than his dad and his aura was more, calming. Who on earth was he?

"I'm sorry! I went to my girlfriend's after work and fell asleep I promise!"

"Alright. You're making a habit out of this. Next time send a message if you're going to be out a while after work so we know where you are okay?"

"Yes of course, I'm sorry" Yahiko bowed his head apologetically.

"Good. Now off to bed, it's extremely late. Or… early, whichever way you want to look at it" the man giggled as he scratched the back of his head.

Naruto had never seen a more relaxed man. If this is him when he's angry what on earth is he like when he is happy? Yahiko stumbled tiredly up the stairs sending a smile behind him at Naruto who was still outside in the doorway.

"Aren't you going to come inside?" the man asked politely.

Naruto didn't know how to react to the stranger. Was he even in the right house? He stood in the doorway and unconsciously stared at him. The man approached him and took him by the arm causing Naruto to flinch.

"O-oh I'm sorry. I'm not going to harm you, was just going to guide you inside. It's cold out" he smiled gesturing him to come inside. Naruto returned the smile and stepped inside as the door was closed behind him.

"I recognise you from the family photos and well, of course all of the pictures your mother has shown me"

Naruto turned back around to face this man. He was still speechless.

"I'm sorry this must be a shock to you. My name is Minato, I'm dating your mother. Didn't she ever tell you about me?" he asked cautiously.

He suddenly remembered the conversation he had with his mother before he got sent to prison. She had mentioned that she was seeing somebody who was the manager of the diner which she worked at and that she was going to leave his father for him. Was this the same man she was talking about?

"Are you the manager of the diner she works at?" he asked bluntly.

"Why yes! That's me!" happy that he was aware of whom he was.

"She did mention you. But that you two were seeing each other still whilst my father was around"

Minato looked saddened. He didn't want to step on anyone's toes or be branded as a home wrecker or a bad person. He really did fall deeply in love with Kushina and promised not to pursue anything as long as she was still active in her marriage. "Naruto I can assure you I never meant-"

"-oh don't worry about it though" Naruto interrupted. "I'm glad actually, he was an asshole"

Naruto walked into his living room to see a lot of things had changed. The furniture was new, and so was the wallpaper and television.

"Would you like some tea? It would be great to have a chat with you" Minato asked politely.

"Sure, sounds good" he smiled. If he was honest Naruto wasn't expecting a warm welcome when he returned from prison. He really let everyone down. Also he never expected his mother to leave his father. Or maybe it was him who left again. There were so many questions he had but firstly he had to answer questions of his own.

It was around 6am when Sasuke finally returned home. All sorts of emotions filled him and he finally felt the emptiness in his heart was filled. Boyfriend… he thought. Naruto was now his official boyfriend. This was not what he was expecting from tonight. Never in his wildest dreams did he think Naruto would return to him and this soon too. He sat on the cold empty staircase and took off his shoes. He thought about everything he felt over the past 7 months. That longing to be held, to be loved, to be touched by the one man he would give his everything to. The one man that stole his heart and refused to give it back. Those nightmares, those dark thoughts. All of it was getting too much. He thought he would end up doing something stupid eventually as he came to the conclusion that he really couldn't live without Naruto.

He glanced down at his arm which had a red bruising around the wrist from when they got rough in the car. It made him smile as he traced the prize redness with his finger and whispered to himself, "I forgive you… for everything"

He smiled again looking up at the staircase which he grew to hate. "I forgive you too… Itachi"

To be continued.
