Naruto quietly entered the dark apartment, and just as quietly closed the door behind him before leaning back onto it. He stood there for a moment before toeing off his shoes and moving down the hall. He hesitated before looking into the bedroom to find Minoru sleeping. He dropped his gaze and closed the door, leaving it ajar so not to bother him. He moved to the kitchen and flipped on the light. He stood there for a moment before moving to the sink, taking off his hitai ate and placing it on the counter and turned on the faucet. He cupped his hands under the cold water and splashed it onto his face and repeated it a few times. He took a deep breath as he turned off the water and realized his hands were shaking. He let out a deep sigh and braced himself on the edge of the sink. He unintentionally tensed when he felt Minoru's presence behind him, and closed his eyes when he heard the almost soundless footsteps of him moving closer. He felt a gentle hand on his back, the touch made him tense before relaxing into it with a sigh.

Minoru moved closer, studying the tension in the older man. He gently cupped a whiskered cheek and brushed his thumb under an eye in a soothing gesture. He could feel it, the tension, he felt the moment Naruto closed the bedroom door. He gently tried turning the older man's face towards him, and that's when he saw it, Naruto furrowed his brows, screwing his eyes closed harder and turned his face towards his palm.

In the time that he had known Naruto, there were times the older man would come back home from an assignment and avoid everyone, even him, for at least a few days. When their relationship became something more, Naruto was more willing to let him in, sometimes even sought him out. Minoru knew, he knew better than to ask. He knew that there were somethings better left unspoken. The important thing was that Naruto knew he was there for him, that he could come to him when he needed him. And vise versa.

But the way Naruto was behaving was a bit concerning. Minoru knew him. He knew him well enough to know when not to push, when to approach him when he felt this tense when coming home. It was rare.

"Naruto..."

Naruto swallowed at the sound of Minoru's gentle voice. The soft call of his name coming from him made some tension leave him. This was Minoru. His Minoru. His husband. He sighed against the warm hand on his face and opened his eyes.

There was a hesitation before Naruto turned his gaze to Minoru. And then Minoru understood the severity of the situation. Because the eyes that turned to look at him weren't the cerulean eyes he was used to, these were slitted. From past experiences, he knew what this meant, that whatever that happened while Naruto was away still clung on to him. That from point A to point B, Naruto hadn't had a chance to let it go. He brushed a soothing thumb under a slitted eye and a warm smile tugged on his lips.

Naruto swallowed through the lump that rose in his throat when Minoru smiled at him, that warm loving smile. That smile that told him that he was home. Hands gently turned him and arms wrapped around him in a warm protective embrace. He melted into it, he let the fingers that thread into his hair calm him. Soft lips kissed his temple and whispered "You're okay" against his skin. And he believed them. Minoru pulled away enough to cup his face and smile at him before giving him a chaste kiss. His hands came up to cup Minoru's jaw, he didn't even realize the action until midnight blue eyes flickered at him. He pressed their foreheads together and let out a ragged breath and locked their lips together in a hard kiss. Minoru's breath caught and he moaned into the kissed when he delved his tongue against his, when he pulled him closer and their pelvises were pressed flush, when he was pushed against the counter.

Minoru found himself being lifted into the counter and hands pulling his shirt off, their lips briefly pulling apart. He unzipped the flak jacket Naruto was wearing and pushed it off, letting it fall with a thud. His hands gripped onto the older man's shoulders when lips moved to his neck and hands pulled his pelvis flush by his rear. He flushed as Naruto rocked against him, grinding their erections through the fabric of their pants. He panted for air as he snaked his hands into the older man's shirt and smoothed his hands over his flanks, earning him a low growl. He pulled off the hindering shirt and a hand at his jaw directed him into another hungry kiss.

"Naruto," Minoru panted out and he was pulled off the counter, his legs wrapping around the older man's waist. He groaned when he felt his husband's erection nudge him as he took him into the bedroom. As soon as his back met the bed hands tugged off his sleeping pants, and cerulean eyes hungrily roamed over him. He watched as the older man undid his own pants and moved to the nightstand before crawling onto the bed and settling between his thighs. He sighed when their erections slid together, sending a pulse through him, making the older man groan.

"Minoru," Naruto's voice sounded strained even to himself, and glowing eyes locked with his. Fingers brushed his cheek and hooked behind his neck to pull him into a kiss as hips rolled against him in a sensual movement. He slicked his fingers as he pulled away and looked down at the flushed panting younger man.

Minoru's hips bucked when slicked fingers pushed into him and slowly thrust into him, "Naruto," he gasped out. The fingers inside of him crooked and found his prostate immediately, teasing it, making a throaty moan rip out of him.

Cerulean eyes were locked on Minoru, on the way he arched his body, the way his face contorted in pleasure, how his hands found purchase in the sheets. And when Naruto took hold of his dripping erection, it was beautiful, it was exactly what he needed to see. The way Minoru moaned his name, how he rocked his hips, how he panted for air. It was the way Minoru was so alive, so expressive, and the way glowing eyes looked at him from under dark lashes made him feel alive with him. Because Minoru was full of life, full of happiness, full of laughter, full of love. And that's what he needed, that's what he needed to see, what he needed to feel.

"Minoru," he said breathlessly, his fingers continued teasing, his hand continued stroking. His eyes roamed over the writhing body under him, the tensing abdominals as the slender hips moved with his hands. Minoru was close, he could feel it. He leaned down, hovering over his flushed husband and a hand disentangled from the sheets to instead tangle in his hair. "Come for me," he said in a low voice and the illuminated eyes screwed shut and the dark head head arched back with a loud moan as Minoru came hard in his hands. He kept massaging the bundle of nerves, making the sensitive body arch towards him as he milked the younger man's orgasm, even when the fingers in his hair gripped almost painfully.

Minoru panted for air and pulled Naruto into a searing kiss. He took the lube and slicked his husband's erection, stroking him, making him moan as he did so. "Naruto," he gasped out, making the older man growl in response as he positioned the rigid length at his entrance. Hands gripped his hips as Naruto slowly pushed into him, stretching him, filling him, making him curse. It had only been a couple of weeks, but the longing that had built inside of him made it feel longer. They needed this. Naruto needed this.

Naruto leaned down and sealed their lips together as he circled his hips, making Minoru moan into his mouth. His hips involuntarily thrust sharply into him, earning him a noise that made him stop. His apology was swallowed by Minoru's lips, by his tongue sliding against his, by the heel on the small of his small urging to move. And he did, he pushed himself up, planting his hands on the bed as he drove into the younger man. Their bedroom echoed their moans and pants for air. He groaned as hands smoothed over his chest, his flanks, the tender caress causing goosebumps to erupt. "Gods - Minoru -" he made a noise when Minoru beared down around him, "Y-yes." Minoru grinned up at him, and saw the love in his eyes. He felt his heart skip a beat as he wrapped an arm around the slender waist and changed their angle.

Minoru cried out Naruto's name and felt the familiar tightness in his lower abdomen, "Na-ruto - I -," his own moan broke his off, his hands tightened on Naruto's shoulders as his orgasm surged through him, "Oh god -" Naruto moaned above him and the arm around his waist moved, it's hand wrapping around his sensitive member. He flushed hotter and beared down around the rigid length thrusting into him. "I love you," he said breathlessly, "I love you." The cerulean eyes fixed on him before sliding shut as his hips faltered, he cupped the face contorted in pleasure and directed him into a deep kiss as he came inside of him. Naruto collapsed on to him, pressing himself close, and he wrapped his arms around the older man without hesitation, smoothing a soothing hands over his back. He pressed his lips over the thundering pulse, smiling when Naruto planted a kiss on his neck.

Naruto pushed himself onto his forearms and smiled down at his flushed husband. He planted a kiss on the pale forehead before sealing his lips over the parted pair in a tender kiss. "I love you," he whispered against lips and felt them curve into a smile. Fingers threaded into his hair and faintly glowing eyes looked up at him fondly.

"I missed you," he traced a blonde brow and kissed a whiskered cheek, "Welcome back home"

Naruto smiled, a genuine smile, because yes, he was home. He was back where it was warm and happy and there was laughter even during sex. It wasn't cold here. This was home.

Minoru woke up to the smell of breakfast. And coffee. He couldn't help but smile as he rolled over and stretched. He winced a bit, feeling a bit sore but decided to ignore it. He rolled out of bed and made a trip to the bathroom before slipping on a pair of sleeping pants and going to the kitchen. His eyes landed on the food that Naruto had set out of the table; eggs, sausage, ham, toast, hash browns. He smiled, he had taught him well. Naruto turned to look at him and smiled as he moved to pour him a cup of coffee.

"Good morning," Naruto greeted and gave a pale cheek a kiss as he handed him the mug.

"Good morning," Minoru greeted back with a smile, "I see you were busy this morning," he said referring to their meal.

Naruto laughed, "Yeah, I got a bit carried away."

Minoru poured creamer into his mug and stirred it, "You know," he drawled, "I like making you breakfast when you get back, it's a habit of mine," he took a drink and looked at the older man from over the rim of his cup, noticing how he cleared his throat. He set down his mug and looked from the food to his husband, "Is this because of last night?" He asked gently with an amused smile.

Naruto opened his mouth to retort, but only signed. He scratched at the back of his neck as his gaze moved to the table, "Minoru," he started and looked at the younger man, "Did... I hurt you last night?"

Midnight blue eyes widened, "What?"

"I feel like I might have... Maybe been a bit too rough," he admitted, scratching at the back of his neck nervously, "I'm not normally..." He trailed off when Minoru moved and placed firm hands on his shoulders.

"You didn't," Minoru answered simply with a smile, "Regardless of how you were feeling last night, you were still mindful of me." He smiled fondly at Naruto, "Besides, a little roughness isn't that bad," he added with a wink.

Naruto laughed and Minoru grinned at him.
