Naruto woke up to a familiar nostalgic darkening ceiling. He had to blink a few times for his vision to focus, and decided to close them for a moment before trying again. He felt the bed he was laying in dip slightly and he slowly turned his head, trying to ignore the way his head throbbed. His eyes found familiar warm midnight eyes looking down at him, and a smile naturally tugged on his tired lips, "Hey," he rasped out, and the warm hand in his firmed it's grip.
"Hey," Minoru said softly and brushed his fingers on a bandaged whiskered cheek.
Naruto vaguely wondered how long he was out, but decided to find out later, "I thought you hated hospitals," he said and realized how tired his voice sounded.
"Yes, but I love you," Minoru said with a little wink, and rubbed a soothing thumb on the older man's wrist, "How are you feeling?"
"Like shit," Naruto answered with a sigh, "And thirsty." Minoru leaned down and planted a kiss on his forehead before moving away and to the jug of water that rested on a side table next to his bed. He looked up at the ceiling and vaguely wondered what time it was. Minoru came back to his line of vision and offered him a smile. He moved to sit up but groaned at the movement.
"Easy now, you have to be careful," Minoru set the cup down and helped the older man to slowly sit up, adjusting his pillows so that he could easily drink his glass of water, "You have stitches on your left side, and some bruising."
Naruto gulped down the water and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He looked at Minoru as he sat on the edge of the bed and noticed the tiredness in the midnight blue eyes, "You haven't been sleeping have you..." The younger man gave him a sheepish smile and adverted his gaze, "Minoru - "
"Naruto," Minoru interrupted gently, taking a hand into his, "What matters is that you're okay, and awake," he softly chuckled and Naruto sighed, "You're home now...That's what matters."
Naruto looked at the younger man, at his smile, his eyes that told him he lacked proper sleep. He just wanted to crawl into bed with him, spoon up against him and sleep for days. He let out a slow sigh and looked at their joined hands, "I missed you."
Minoru cupped the older man's jaw and lifted his chin as he leaned to give him a chaste kiss, "I missed you too," he said softly a fond smile tugging on his lips, "You should get some more rest." Cerulean eyes gave him a look, and he knew that look all too well, Naruto wanted to go home, "I think maybe they'll discharge you tomorrow...Hopefully."
Naruto sighed and the younger man helped him lay back down. He shifted, hissing when he jostled his injuries, and gave the younger man a sheepish look when he scowled at him and blue eyes flickered at him. "Come here," he said softly and patted the extra space on his good side. Minoru gave him a hesitant look before moving around the bed and sliding in next to him. He was a comfortable weight next to him, despite his soreness. It helped him forget he was in the hospital, he didn't even realize when they followed each other into sleep.
Sure enough, the next afternoon Naruto was cleared and discharged with instructions to rest, eat, and rest. They walked home, slowly - very slowly.
"You know," Minoru drawled, giving his husband an amused look, "We don't have to walk."
Naruto sighed and gave the younger man a halfhearted glare as he limped slightly, "It's better for me walk, plus it's not that far."
Minoru looked from Naruto to down the road and back, "It's at least another five blocks." He chuckled as Naruto stopped and gave him a deadpanned look and sighed.
Naruto looked around and spotted a bench, "I'm just gonna..." He trailed off and Minoru nodded. They moved to sit at the bench and Naruto heaved a sigh which made his side hurt.
"Maybe we should get something to eat while we're outt," Minoru suggested, "You'll starve at this rate," he added with a snicker.
Naruto gave the younger man a slow smile, "Then I guess you would just have to carry me."
Minoru chuckled and shook his head, "There's a place down the road."
Naruto nodded and chuckled at himself as Minoru helped him to stand, "Okay, no big deal," he said mostly to himself.
They walked to the small dinner and ordered bentos and teas. Minoru watched as the older man wolfed down his food and cerulean eyes looked at him and slowed his eating with a sheepish smile. He couldn't help but laugh, "At least I know your appetite is unfazed."
"My appetite is never fazed," Naruto said matter-of-factly with a laugh and groaned when his side complained. Midnight blue eyes looked at him with concern but he waved it off, "Unfazed."
"mhmm," Minoru sounded unconvinced.
They finished their late lunch and continued their walk home. Which, much to Naruto's annoyance, included frequent breaks.
"You are both stubborn and determined," Minoru said with a smile as Naruto took another break, and threaded his fingers into the blonde locks, cerulean eyes looked at him, "And I love that about you." He narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled at the little wink Naruto gave him.
They walked the rest of the way home, that took a bit longer than it should have. Naruto heaved a sigh of relief once they entered their apartment and failed at taking off his shoes. Minoru chuckled and had him lean on him as he helped, and smiled as arms wrapped around him in a warm embrace, careful not to hold him too tight.
"Welcome home," Minoru pressed a kiss on the older man's jaw.
Naruto sighed and was taken to the bedroom where Minoru helped him change out of his shirt. His breath hitched when his side complained, and noticed how the midnight blue eyes flickered as they fell on his bandages wrapped around his torso and moved up to an angry bruise on his shoulder. He cupped a pale cheek and Minoru gave him a warm smile before pressing a gentle kiss on his shoulder. He directed his husband into a tender kiss, sighing as a hand came up to cup his jaw to deepen it. They pulled away a bit too breathless, and a smile tugged on his lips at the presence of the glow in the younger man's eyes. He traced Minoru's bottom lip and watched it pull into a smile.
"Let's get you in bed," Minoru said softly, and kissed the thumb on his lip.
Naruto opted to stay shirtless, to make his life easier. Minoru helped him change into a clean pair of boxers and carefully helped him get into bed. The last thing he remembered was lips softly kissing his as sleep claimed him.
Naruto woke up to their darkening bedroom. He slowly sat up, grimacing at the soreness on his side and shoulder, and carefully swung his legs over the edge of the bed and gave himself a moment. He looked out the window, at the glimpse of the navy blue sky. He furrowed his brows and tried to think back. He couldn't remember for the life of him - what exactly happened. He couldn't even figure out how long he was in the hospital. He sighed and rubbed his face, grimacing at the soreness on his cheek. He slowly stood and wandered into the living room where he found Minoru drawing in a sketchbook with the TV on as background noise. He watched as a little blue bird popped out of the page tweeted at him and then dispersed. Midnight blue eyes looked up and gave him an amused look.
"You're suppose to be sleeping," Minoru commented as Naruto moved to sit on the couch, "How are you feeling?"
"Sore," Naruto sighed and briefly looked at the TV and looked at Minoru to find midnight blue eyes watching him.
Minoru smiled, "Hungry?" He chuckled when Naruto's stomach answered for him. "I made some kimbap," he closed his sketchbook and set it aside, and moved to get up. A warm hand took his as he stood directing his gaze to the older man who was giving him a warm smile.
"Come here."
Minoru didn't even try to hide the shiver that ran down his spine at the sound of the older man's husky voice. He had to remind himself, not that's the bandages around the older man's torso didn't do a good job of that. "Naruto..." He said in an unsure concerned voice. Cerulean eyes softened and the older man's thumb brushed along his wrist, causing goosebumps to erupt on his forearm.
"Please..." He said softly and midnight blue eyes flickered at him. The younger man hesitated before moving to straddle his lap. He smoothed his hands up the younger man's thighs, letting his fingers snake under the worn shirt he was wearing - belatedly he realized it was one of his. His gaze locked with the younger man's, smiling at the faint glow in them. He smoothed his hand up his stomach, feeling the muscles twitch under his touch.
"Naruto," he said a bit too breathlessly, and the hand in his shirt pulled it up, and he took the hint. He slipped his shirt off and the hand on his chest moved to cup his jaw and pulled him into a passionate kiss. He trailed his hands over his husband's biceps, being careful with his bruised shoulder as he cupped his jaw and delved his tongue into the older man's mouth. All the longing from the past few weeks came crashing down, he had been trying to keep it under control due to Naruto's injuries but the hand at the small of his back pulled him closer and the growing erection that nudged his only further broke his reserve.
Naruto dipped his hands into the younger man's sleeping pants and groaned as their erections rubbed together through fabric. He sighed as Minoru moved away dropping to his knees and tugging on his boxers. He managed to lift his hips, ignoring the pain on his side - which was easy to do when those glowing eyes were looking at him like that, when they were so focused on him with want and love. His breath quickened when Minoru kissed his inner thigh and made a wet trail to his aching erection. He moaned when those lips wrapped around his head and sucked, he rocked his hips, ignoring the way his body ached. Firm hands held him down and he moaned in response, "Oh - god - Minoru -" He threaded his fingers into the dark locks and followed the slow bobbing motion, panting for air when Minoru hummed around him. He watched him in a trance, the way he massaged his length with his mouth - his tongue. How he kept him place with firm yet gentle hands. How illuminated eyes looked back at him from under dark brows. He groaned as he lightly tugged on the dark locks between his fingers, "W-wait," and Minoru pulled away with a grin on his lips.
Minoru tugged off his pants, letting them drop to the floor as his erection sprang free. He straddled Naruto's lap, making them both sigh at the friction. He chuckled as he slipped his hand in between the cushions and dug around, "It's in here...," he flushed hotter at the look Naruto gave him and muttered a "shut up" under his breath, eliciting a soft chuckle from the older man. He sighed when lips brushed against the sensitive scar on his shoulder and moved up along his clavicle and up his neck. Hands moved up his flanks causing him to moan. He found the lost tube of lube and a gentle hand directed him into a tender kiss.
He smiled and slicked his fingers, "Let me," he said softly and reached behind himself groaning when Naruto took his erection in a loose grip. Cerulean eyes watched him as he stretched himself with his rigid length, moaning at the feeling of being filled, at the feeling of his hot erection pressing against his prostate, "Naruto," it came out as a moan as the hands on his hips flexed and the older man echoed him.
Their pants for air and moans of pleasure echoed in their living room when Minoru set a steady pace, using the back of the couch as leverage, careful not to jostle Naruto's injuries. Not that he was complaining, he was too distracted by the way Minoru was riding him, the noises he was making, the look of pleasure on his face, "Minoru - god - you're so -" he groaned when Minoru circled his hips and took his sobbing erection into his hand, "I'm - " he wasn't going to last long, and neither was Minoru, he could feel it. It has been too long for the both of them.
"You love it, don't you?" He said breathlessly, "You love being inside of me." and Naruto groaned, throwing his head back of the couch with a "Yes". He leaned in, their pants for air mingling together "Are you going to come for me?" His hand on his erection quickened when Naruto cried out in response, and felt him come inside of him. He gasped at the sensation, and a warm hand came up to cup his jaw and direct him into a hot kiss as his hips kept moving and pressed flush as his orgasm claimed him, making his body flush hotter as he spilled his seed onto the older man's stomach.
"Naruto," Minoru breathed out and pressed their foreheads together and calmed their frantic hearts. He cupped a whiskered cheek and stroked it with him thumb, "Are you okay?" Naruto gave him a stated smile and a slight nod before sealing their lips together in a languid kiss.
Naruto felt Minoru's smile and couldn't help the happy chuckle that vibrated in him. Glowing eyes looked at him, with such love that it made his heart flutter in his chest.
Minoru's smile softened, and he brushed his thumb under a blue eye, "You scared me," he said softly, and traced the older man's brow. He pressed his fingers against Naruto's lips when he was going to respond. He knew that look, "Don't apologize," he said gently with a warm smile, "I'm just just glad you're okay."
Naruto sighed and pulled Minoru in an embrace against his chest, the dark head coming to rest on his good shoulder, a warm hand on his chest, "I love you."
Minoru nosed his husband's jaw and planted a kiss, "I love you too."
