The next day, after his shift in the mission room, Minoru "bumped" into Sasuke. "Bumped" because it seemed too intentional when the older man rounded the corner from the opposite direction and fell into step with him.
"You seem to be in a better mood."
Minoru only answered by shooting Sasuke a smile.
Sasuke stopped walking, and Minoru stopped with him and gave him a questioning "What?". " I spied on you last night." The whole time he was wondering if he should be honest with him, if he should tell him what happened. He considered to just leave it alone as if nothing happened. He also considered that maybe he should practice honesty. But the slow look of realization that reflected on Minoru's face with wide eyes, followed by a light blush and a subtle flicker of Chakra in his eyes - followed by angry furrowed brows that were accompanied by a rather hard back handed smack onto his bicep - he realized that maybe it wasn't such a good idea.
"What the hell!?" Minoru exclaimed feeling his ears burn, "Just - what the hell?! Why?!"
"It was an accident!" Sasuke shot back in defense.
Minoru narrowed his eyes angrily, "Spying is a very intentional act - you can't just accidentally spy on someone!" His hands were gesturing as he spoke for emphasis, flailing almost.
Sasuke furrowed his brows defensively, "I didn't mean to! I didn't go trying to go spy on you two! I just so happen to be somewhere where I could..." He frowned at how that sounded, "It wasn't on purpose!"
"Then why were you watching us have sex?" He asked in a harsh whisper.
Sasuke's frown deepened and he let out a short sigh, "I wasn't watching you in a perverted way," he started and midnight blue eyes narrowed further, "...It was just...the way you are together, there's something about how close you two are... Even your Chakra mingles together..."
Minoru tried not to think about how the Uchiha not only watched them... But did so with the sharingan... With a sigh he let the older man continue.
"I could see just how much you two... Love each other," he hesitated, noticing how Minoru's expression softened, "And I realized, that I do want that. I want what you two share...I... Want that with Sakura..." There it was. He actually - finally - said it. And the slow grin that pulled on Minoru's lips gave him a sinking feeling.
"Well, I'm glad that watching us have sex helped you realize that you want a relationship with Sakura," Minoru drawled, earning him a somewhat horrified look from the older man.
"That's -," Sasuke cleared his throat when he choked on his words and glared when Minoru chuckled.
"All joking aside, I'm glad you finally came to that realization. And I encourage it," Minoru fought a grin, "Not the spying part, of course."
Sasuke scowled, "It wasn't on purpose!"
"Mhmm," Minoru chuckled, "So then what do you plan to do with revelation of yours?"
Sasuke shifted his weight and moved his gaze down the empty road, "I don't know."
Minoru gave the older man a deadpanned look, "Are you kidding me?"
Sasuke frowned, "I don't know what to do - what does one do with this sort of thing?"
"Ask her out to dinner! Or drinks, or anything - a walk in the park!" Minoru furrowed a brow when Sasuke shifted his weight again, he could tell that the thought alone made him uncomfortable. "I have an idea. What if...we have a double date?"
Sasuke tried not to frown at the ridiculous idea, but this idea sounded as good as any, "How would that work?"
"Don't worry about it, just agree to it."
Sasuke hesitated, eyeing the younger man before giving him a slow "Okay..."
Minoru smiled, "Alright, two nights from now, keep it open. I'll give you details later."
Sasuke slowly nodded and watched as Minoru walked away and rounded a corner. He chuckled mostly to himself, wondering what exactly he had just gotten himself into.
Minoru "bumped" into Sakura are the grocery store.
He casually brought up that they should get together some day - which Sakura seemed very happy about the idea.
He casually suggested two nights from then. He gave her the name of a place that he knew wasn't too casual, not too fancy.
He casually left out that Sasuke would be joining them.
He made the reservations, specific in time and party size. And told both of them - separately - the time in which to be there. Unbeknownst to them, he told then five forty five, rather than six. He knew they were both timely people.
During this whole ordeal, Naruto was completely amused. And when he told him, "You're so devious." And got a little wink in response. He impossibly fell more in love with him.
Two days later...
Sasuke was stalling. It was unlike he disliked it when people were late. But here he was. Lingering at a bookstore that was on the way to the restaurant, stalling. He let out a frustrated sigh at himself and put down the book he was faking interest in.
He forced himself to go. To stop being an idiot, and just go. He had made a decision and he was sticking to it. He walked the rest of the way to the restaurant, vaguely wondering if he was over or under dressed. He considered himself, black jeans dark grey untucked button up with the sleeves rolled to the elbows. He mentally frowned - he was thinking too much about this. Much to his chagrin he was the first one there. He clicked his tongue and looked down at his watch and realized he was still early.
"Sasuke?"
Sasuke turned around at the soft familiar voice and stared. Sakura was wearing a modest strappy red dress that flattered her figure, but didn't show too much skin - but enough for Sasuke to appreciate it. He swallowed when she smiled at him, her green eyes following suit.
"Fancy seeing you here," she said playfully.
Sasuke mentally frowned. Minoru had said that this was going to be a double date. To not worry about it and just be there on time. "You look... Really nice..." He commented, and witnessed as the green eyes widened a fraction in surprise and a light blush colored her cheeks as her smile widened.
"Thank you," green eyes gave him a once over, "Not so bad yourself."
"Uchiha party of two!"
Sasuke froze.
Party of two... He swallowed when Sakura quirked an amused brow at him.
"It seems that we've been set up," she mused with a laugh.
Sasuke smiled, "Let's not waste the opportunity," Sakura beamed at him and hooked their elbows together and pulled them towards the restaurant.
He was either going to thank or kill Minoru later.
Meanwhile...
Naruto panted for air and pushed himself onto his forearms, pressing his forehead onto the mattress as a loud moan ripped out of him. He rolled his hips with Minoru's rhythm, his deep and hard thrusts that had him moaning uncontrollably. His breath hitched when the hands on his hips smoothed down over his thighs and spread them wider, "Mi-noru - oh - fu-" a deep moan interrupted his own words. His hands gripped the sheets as a well aimed sharp thrust met his prostate. He could feel himself dripping as his erection swayed with their rhythm, could feel that pressure building in his lower abdomen. Hands smoothed over his stomach and pulled him closer, pulling him flush against Minoru's chest as he continued thrusting into him, making him arch against him, "Oh - God Minoru - yes!" He felt Minoru's grin on his shoulder, a hand on his hip, the other on his stomach, the tender touches fueling him even more.
Minoru reached to his husband's dripping erection and began stroking him in time with his thrust, "You feel so good, Naruto," he whispered against skin, and a hand reached back to thread into his hair. He quickened his thrust, his hand, and Naruto came undone against him - tensing and crying out his name as he came oh so hard in his hand, bearing down on him in result. "Gods -" he moaned pressing himself flush as he emptied himself inside the older man, making him shiver against him. He pressed a kiss on a strong shoulder as their hips continued rolling together, riding the last of their orgasms. A hand slipped over his where it rest on Naruto's stomach, making his heart flutter. He gently pulled out, and just as gently rolled his husband over into his back and smiled down at him, at the stated smile on his lips. He crawled over him and leaned down to slip their lips together in a tender kiss.
Naruto hummed in approval and hugged the younger man closer. Glowing eyes looked at him, a soft and loving look that made him smile. He cupped a flushed cheek and chuckled when Minoru nuzzled his palm. He sighed when the dark head moved to his neck, causing his sensitive body to shiver. Minoru moved lower, sensually sliding against him as he went. He unintentionally twitched when lips brushed along his stomach, kissing and licking as they went. His breath hitched fingers traced over his stomach, knowingly of the seal inscribed there, "Minoru," he breathed out and Minoru's hot tongue followed suit. He felt as if he was on fire - as he did every time Minoru showed such tenderness, such affection to that area. So knowingly, so loving that it made Naruto feel overly sensitive.
And when Minoru moved lower and took his hard length into his mouth, and splayed a hand over his stomach, he choked on his own moan. His fingers tangled in dark locks, following his bobbing motion as he massaged his hot erection with his mouth. He moaned as he thrust into his husband's welcoming mouth, and lifted his head to look at him, watching him as he sucked on him, as he reached for himself with his free hand and started stroking himself, "Minoru -" glowing eyes traveled up his body and locked with his. He threw his head back when Minoru hummed around him, swirled his tongue over the head of his erection, driving him closer and closer. His fingers tightened in the dark locks and it only made Minoru quicken his pace, sick harder, take him deeper, "Oh - Mi-noru - y-yesss," his hips bucked as his second orgasm claimed him, moaning as Minoru swallowed every drop of it. He panted for air when the younger man pulled away and leaned back over him, still stroking himself as he locked him in a hot kiss. Naruto pulled Minoru closer by the hips, making them thrust against him as the younger man's hand quickened on his erection. "Show me," he whispered and glowing eyes fixed on him before screwing shut with pleasure and letting out deep moan as he came, emptying his hot seed on his stomach. He hooked a hand around the back of Minoru's neck and locked him in a passionate kiss, smiling when he unintentionally twitched against him.
Their bedroom echoed their heavy breathing, and Minoru shivered against Naruto when a sun kissed hand traced the curve of his spine. He couldn't move. He didn't want to move. Naruto was comfortable under him, so warm and fit perfectly against him, there was no way he could move. And that's where they stayed, with no intentions of moving.
Later, he'll remember about how he set up Sasuke and Sakura.
Later, he'll wonder how it went.
Four days later...
Minoru was surprised when he didn't bump into Sasuke. He was almost certain that the Uchiha would have approached him the next day to at least mention what happened in the date he had set them up in. At least by now he would have. He was beginning to wonder if he had gone too far. Maybe he was thinking too much about it.
So, as he walked home from the hokage tower that afternoon he was surprised when he sensed Sasuke perched on a tree as he approached it. He decided to take matters into his own hands.
Sasuke nearly jumped when Minoru lept onto the branch he was lounging on, and unintentionally glared at him.
"Hey," Minoru tried, "How are you?"
Sasuke shifted his weight, "Fine."
Minoru hesitated, "How did it go?"
Sasuke smiled slightly, "Fine."
Minoru furrowed a brow, "I was getting kind of worried," he chuckled, "I was beginning to wonder if I really pissed you off since I haven't heard or seen you since..." He trailed off and dark eyes moved their gaze to him. He swallowed when something clicked into place.
Sasuke hadn't talked to him since that night he set them up.
And he knew it went well because Sakura had sought him out to 'thank' him. Saying that it was wonderful and they talked for hours and they were planning on having lunch.
He knew it went well, but wanted to hear it from Sasuke to know if he was indeed pissed off at him for misleading him.
Because he found himself caring. Caring if Sasuke and Sakura had a good time, if they hit if off. If Sasuke felt offended that he left him in the dark. Caring if he was mad at him.
But he hadn't heard from him or seen him since that day. And now that he had found him, he seemed off... Almost cold towards him. Almost distant.
Could it have been...
"You used me..." He said in slow realization, "You used me to get close to Sakura..." Dark eyes turned to look fully at him with a stoic expression on his face. And he felt his heart drop. He swallowed and an ironic chuckle came out of him, "I should have known... How did I now see this...I should have known - "
"Yeah, you should have." As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them. His outter demeanor stayed cold and distant by he felt something inside of him twist when the midnight blue eyes widened a fraction, and a subtle flicker of Chakra lit them - it was the look of betrayal. It lasted all but a couple seconds before the younger man pulled in his emotions; took them in and hid them. Those emotions that over the past couple of months had slowly become more evident, and less restrained.
It was gone in a matter of seconds.
And Sasuke, for the first time in a long time, felt regret.
"Yeah...well..." Minoru swallowed and clenched his jaw before briefly meeting the older man's gaze, "I wish you the best with Sakura." Was the last thing he told him - and he meant it - before leaping off the branch.
Sasuke closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh. A twinge of anger towards himself hit him, and that's when he realized that frankly he messed up something that was actually being good for him. He didn't know how much time passed before he left his hideout. But he knew that he had to somehow...Fix this.
Minoru was fuming. He couldn't remember the last time he felt so angry. He even took the roof tops because he didn't trust himself at the moment.
But the moment he entered their apartment and smelled the aroma of chicken and teriyaki in the air - the smell of home - his resolve slowly came undone.
Naruto popped out of kitchen and shot the younger man a bright smile, "Good timing! Lunch is almost ready." His smile faded when he noticed the flicker of Chakra in his husband's eyes, and the forced smile didn't help. He closed the distance between and noticed another flicker, "What's wrong?"
Minoru sighed and averted his gaze at the soft concerned tone. His anger was gone, and a bitter laugh erupted from him as he met the older man's gaze, "He used me." Blonde brows furrowed and he had to swallowed through the lump that rose in his throat, "He used me to get close to Sakura. Maybe because I was unassuming, or something. I don't know," he laughed again, this time it sounded more broken, "I'm such an idiot, I should have known - I'm such an idiot to think that he wanted to change. To think that he wanted to maybe redeem himself. To think that he...that he wanted to be my friend - I'm such an idiot," his voice cracked and he swallowed thickly when he felt his eyes sting, "and what makes it worse is that it actually hurts." A warm hand swiped at his eyes and cupped his cheek as soft lips kissed his forehead in a comforting gesture.
"You're not an idiot," Naruto reassured, "He's the idiot. He's the one that lost the chance to have one of the best people he could have as a friend. He's the idiot, not you." His heart ached at the hurt he saw in the midnight blue eyes. Because he knew, he knew how this affected Minoru. He knew the difficulty he had when it came to others and trusting them. He sighed as he pulled Minoru into a comforting embrace and his heart ached further when Minoru eagerly returned it. "I'm sorry."
Minoru sighed and shook his head before pulling away, "I'll be okay," he smoothed his hands over the older man's covered chest and forced a smile, "You said lunch in almost ready?"
Naruto smiled and nodded, "Yes, nearly."
"I'm just going to change then," Minoru planted a kiss on a whiskered cheek and moved to the bedroom.
Naruto let out a slow sigh and clenched his jaw, his brows furrowing in anger. This was his Minoru. Sasuke had no right. Betraying him was one thing, betraying his best friend, his husband, the one he cared about - was another.
