Minoru limped into the apartment and grimaced at the pain that shot through his leg. With a sigh he leaned back on the front door and looked around, "Naruto?" He called out, but there was no answer. He sighed as he looked down at his leg, and at bandages that he managed to wrap around his thigh to stop the bleeding of a deep cut. He limped to the bathroom, catching himself on a doorframe as he went, and shedding off his flak jacket as he went. He took out the first aid from under the sink before undoing his pants and pushing them down past his hips. He heaved a sigh as he dropped himself down onto to closed toilet and grimaced at the pain. Carefully, he undid his bandages and peeled away his pants. "Damnit," he cursed softly at himself. The cut was deep, deeper than he remembered, and now that he was really looking at it, he was highly aware of how much it hurt. At least most of the bleeding had stopped, but he needed to desperately clean it and close it. And the burn on his bicep was aching, reminding him that it still needed to be treated as well. He slowly took off his jersey, groaning at the ache in his body.

"Minoru?"

Relief washed over him when he heard the familiar voice call out his name, "In here."

Naruto moved to the bathroom and concern filled him when his eyes landed on Minoru's wounds. He closed the distance between them, eyeing the deep gash in the younger man's thigh and the burn on his bicep, "Minoru..."

"I'm okay," he reassured, "Just a bit beaten up..."

Naruto dropped down to a squat and undid Minoru's leg wrappings before completely riding his pants, "What happened?" He asked after a moment, and only got a small shrug and sigh in response.

Minoru knew what Naruto was thinking. He could tell by the look in the cerulean eyes when they locked with his for a moment. He was thinking that it would be best of he went to the hospital. But his expression softened with a warm reassuring smile. He watched as Naruto took the first aid and took out the hydrogen peroxide and grabbed a towel to lay it down under him.

"I don't think I have to warn you," he gave Minoru an apologetic smile.

Minoru took a deep breath and hissed when Naruto poured some diluted hydrogen peroxide into his wound. He clenched his hands into fist and his eyes screwed shut against the pain and discomfort. He tried taking another breath but the pain that shot through his leg didn't help.

Naruto took a first into his hand and rubbed his thumb on Minoru's wrist, "Breathe," he said gently. Minoru let out a shaky breath and glowing eyes opened to look at him. His expression softened, it wasn't the glow he was used to, this one was pained and unrestrained. This was the kind he didn't like to witness, that made his heart ache. He stood and retrieved the aloe vera gel before taking his place in front of Minoru again. He planted a kiss on the opposite thigh before continuing. He gently cleaned the burn on Minoru's bicep, noticing how he grimaced at the discomfort, "I'm sorry," he said softly and applied a generous amount of aloe vera on the burn that he was grateful didn't look more than a really bad first degree burn.

Minoru smiled sheepishly at the older man, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me yet," he said while eying the cut in the younger man's leg. He took out a stitching needle and thread from the first aid and started on Minoru's cut. He was grateful that it was something he could do, the cut wasn't too deep in his opinion, but it was rather long maybe five to six inches if he had to guess. However, it was still bad enough that the risk of infection was high. He glanced at Minoru when he heard his breath hitch, and noticed that he was looking away.

"I need to work on my stitching," he said with a chuckle, "Get so good at it that you won't even feel a thing."

Minoru chuckled, "I know Iru-dad's is," he smiled and looked at the older man, "But I don't mind - ah!"

"Sorry," he shot the younger man a sheepish look, "You were saying?"

Minoru tried not to laugh, "I don't mind being pinched by you," he smiled at the brow wiggle Naruto gave him, "And the fact that I know you hate getting stitches let alone doing them... It means a lot to me."

Naruto gave the younger man a bright a bright smile, "You're the only exception."

Minoru looked away from Naruto's handy work, not being able to handle to watch his skin being stitched back together at the moment. His body was aching, all he wanted was to snuggle into Naruto's warm to just be there with him and rest.

Naruto finished the sutures and gently wiped the area clean with a bit of hydrogen peroxide and water. He let it air dry for a while as he went back to the burn on his bicep and dressed it, doing the same to the cut on the younger man's thigh. "Alright, let's get you in bed." He helped the younger man up with a firm grasp on his elbows, and caught him when he swayed into him. He sighed when arms wrapped around his waist and Minoru buried his face into the crook of his neck. He instinctively breathed him in and pressed his lips on a shoulder, near the sensitive scar. He brushed his lips along the trapezius muscle and pressed a kiss under his ear. He smiled when he felt Minoru shiver and pull away slightly, just enough for their lips to meet in a tender kiss. He held Minoru closer, pressing closer when he softly moaned into his mouth in response.

Minoru shifted his weight without thinking and hissed against Naruto's mouth at the pain that shot through his leg. Arms tightened around him for support instantly. He chuckled at himself and gave Naruto a sheepish smile.

"Come on." Naruto helped Minoru into the bedroom and onto the bed. He smiled when Minoru sighed and tiredly rubbed his eye, "I'm going to make you something to eat, alright?" As he was about to move a hand reached out for him and grasped his shirt, and the look in the midnight blue eyes told him everything. He smiled as he moved to lay next to him, rolling onto his side to face him and Minoru snuggled up to him. He cupped a cheek and traced the younger man's lower lip, a warm smile curving his lips when they kissed his thumb, "Welcome home."

Minoru smiled, "Thank you," he said softly as his eyes drifted closed under the older man's touches.

Naruto watched him, as his breathing evened out and he slipped into sleep. His intentions were to get up and make a quick dinner for them both, but the warmth that he missed over the past weeks made him stay and follow him into sleep instead.

Naruto woke up when he felt Minoru shifting in his sleep. He blinked away the sleep from his eyes and tried to adjust his eyes to the dark room, "Minoru?" He whispered and got a small groan in response. He pushed himself up, bracing himself on an elbow, "Are you okay?" He cupped a cheek and concern filled him when he found it hot, "You're burning up." He swiftly rolled over and turned the lamp on the nightstand and looked him over, sure enough Minoru looked flushed and the dark brows were knitted together in sign of discomfort. He placed his hand on his forehead and furrowed his brows with concern, "Minoru..." He hesitated and glowing eyes opened to look at him, "...I have to take you to the hospital. I think your injuries are infected."

Minoru groaned, a shiver running through his frame, "Naruto - please don't -"

"Minoru, look at me," he said gently and half lidded illuminated eyes focused on him, "I'm not taking any chances with you, okay?" He cupped a flushed cheek, "I love you too much to see you like this..." Minoru closed his eyes for a moment, before he nodded with a soft 'okay'. He got out of bed and helped Minoru to sit up and into a pair of sweat pants, shoes and a worn t-shirt. And a jacket as an after thought. He slipped on a sweater on himself and shoes before wrapping his arms around the shivering younger man and left in a cloud of dust.

Minoru kept his gaze downcasted and tried to focus on the magazine he had picked up from a table. Naruto sat next to him, filling out his paperwork to check him in. He glanced up when he stood and moved to the reception area. He looked back at the magazine and briefly closed his eyes against the slight throb in his head. His gaze shifted and slowly turned to look to his left to find a little boy blatantly staring at him. He knew why. He must be a sight in his sweat pants, jacket and glowing eyes. Nonetheless, he felt self-conscious.

"Cool."

The whispered awe wasn't something he was expecting though, and he couldn't help the small smile that tugged on his lips.

"Do they hurt?" The curious little boy whispered.

Minoru shook his head slightly, "No."

"Honey! Leave that man alone!"

Minoru moved his gaze back to his magazine as the little boy moved to his mother. He felt like shit. He wanted to go home. He sighed when a gentle hand threaded into his hair and Naruto sat back down next to him. He leaned towards him, resting his head on a strong shoulder and unintentionally shivered. A soothing hand rubbed his thigh and he instinctively grabbed it, the sun kissed hand squeezed his back.

"Uzumaki, Minoru."

Naruto helped Minoru stand and hooked his good arm around his shoulder to help him walk. They followed the nurse a few exam rooms down the hall and she took Minoru's temperature and vitals. And Naruto couldn't help but notice how much he tension there was in him, how much he kept scanning the room despite his fever and injuries. Not only was Minoru in a place he hated - and was then told to change into a hospital gown, but he recently got back from his mission. Minoru hadn't had a chance to really be home.

He helped him changed out of his clothes and into the the hospital gown, noticing how Minoru shivered. He lifted Minoru up onto the exam chair, which earned him a soft chuckle. Hands moved to his shoulders and pulled him closer.

"I hate hospitals," Minoru's voice was low. He felt feverish and tired and on edge all at once. His eyes moved from the cerulean pair down to the older man's mouth as Naruto leaned in. His eyes drifted closed instinctively, shivering when his cooler lips brushed against his in a soft caress before sealing together in a tender kiss.

Naruto pulled away when he heard a study knock on the door, and smiled at the dazed look on Minoru's face. A female medic with a kind face walked in, wearing a white lab coat and standardized jersey and pants underneath.

"Hello," she greeted, and pulled up a short stool with wheels and sat down, "From what I understand, you have a wound on your left thigh and a burn on your left bicep?"

Minoru nodded.

The medic wrote something down, "and it happened in the field?"

Minoru nodded again.

Another note, "How long ago?"

Minoru hesitated, "Two... Maybe three days ago..." He glanced at Naruto when cerulean eyes gave him a questioning look.

The medic hesitated and looked up from her notes, "And you got back when?"

"Tonight..."

"Why didn't you come to the hospital?" She said with a furrowed brow, but she waved it off. "Nevermind, sorry. It's been a long day," she chuckled awkwardly, "You have your reasons. So let me take a look at that." She put down her clipboard and slipped on a pair of latex gloves from a box and moved closer to Minoru. She undid the dressing on Minoru's thigh and tossed them into a near by bin. "Who stitched this?"

Naruto shifted his weight, "I did."

She frowned, "Not bad."

Minoru gave Naruto a sideways smile and twitched when she touched it with gloved hands. He watched as she frowned and stood to undo the bandages on his bicep. He clenched his jaw at the way it stung.

"Only a first degree," she commented, "I'm going to redo the stitches - no offense -," she gave Naruto a look, "Give you a shot of antibiotics because it's clear that they got infected. And speed up the healing process for you, alright?" She gave Minoru a smile, "I'll be right back." She slipped off her gloves and threw them into the bin before leaving.

Naruto closed the distance between them and Minoru looked at him with guilty illuminated eyes.

"I'm sor -" Minoru's words were effectively cut off by lips on his, by the hand that cupped his jaw. He shivered for a completely different reason.

Naruto pulled away with a warm smile on his lips, letting his thumb stroke Minoru's cheekbone, "It's okay. I know."

It was moments like these that made Minoru wonder where Naruto came from. Made him wonder how he could possibly be real. The fever wasn't helping. He jumped unintentionally when the medic knocked on the door and slowly opened it with a bin in her hands.

"Ready?" She teased, and laughed awkwardly again, "That joke is never popular and yet.. "

Minoru looked at Naruto as the medic unstitched, cleaned, and re-stiched his skin together. She hummed to herself and asked random questions, but worked quickly and effectively which Minoru appreciated. Warm Chakra flowed from her hands as she sped up the healing process, leaving it to the point where it still needed to close, but it was bearable to walk on. "It's important to let the body heal on its item when it can," she said with a smile. After dressing his cut, she moved to his burn and gave it the same treatment.

"Alright," she took out a syringe and a vial, "I'm going to give you a low dose of antibiotics. So, hope off and show me your hip."

Minoru carefully hopped off, and noticed how his legs seemed to be trembling. He sighed as he pulled down the side of his boxers to let the medic inject him. He frowned as she did so.

She put a bandage in place, and disposed of the syringe in a bin labeled "biohazard". "Next time," she started as she took off her gloves, "Don't let it get so bad, okay?"

Minoru smiled sheepishly and nodded, "Thank you."

"Get dressed, the nurse will be in to discharge you. Get enough sleep, water and careful with your cut. The sutures should come off on their own in about a week, give or take."

Naruto smiled, "Thank you."

"Good night," she flashed then one last smile and left the room.

Minoru slipped off the hospital gown in relief, "I just want to go home," he mumbled and Naruto chuckled as he moved closer.

"Soon." Naruto helped Minoru dress, letting his fingers brush along his skin as he did so.

After the nurse came in to discharge Minoru, he turned to Naruto and moved to bury his face into his chest, breathing in his scent, "Please take me home."

Naruto smiled, "Of course, my love."

Naruto didn't remember falling asleep. The last things he remembered was bringing Minoru back home, prepping a small meal for him, making him drink plenty of water, and possibly after that that's when they went to bed. Even though he couldn't remember falling asleep, right now he felt himself walking up - specifically by a hand that trailed over his chest, by fingers brushing over his nipples, sighing when they teased them into nubs. It went lower, fingers tracing and mapping what was theirs, trailing over his stomach and down to his already erect member. He gasped at the way Minoru slowly stroked him, how he slid against him and subtly rolled his hips, nudging him with his hot erection. He blinked his eyes open to find glowing eyes focused on him. It seemed that Minoru's fever was gone, now there was another heat that wanted his attention.

"Naruto."

He moaned at the whisper of his name and rolled them over, earning him a smile from his husband. He rolled his hips, making them both moan as he locked their lips together. Their rhythm was slow, and tender, their room filled with sighs and moans. He latched on to the pale throat and wasn't disappointed when he moaned loudly next to his ear, when he eagerly rocked his hips. Naruto pulled away, letting his eyes roam over the younger man's aroused body, his erection dripping onto his stomach. He gathered the drops of precum with his fingers and licked them clean.

"Tease," he moaned and raised his hips without thinking, making a jolt of pain run through his thigh. He groaned, pressing his hand just above his bandages.

"Careful," Naruto said softly, "Are you okay?"

Minoru nodded and sighed, pulling Naruto down into a hot kiss, "I need you," he whispered against lips and moaned when Naruto's tongue traced his bottom lip.

Naruto leaned over to the nightstand and quickly retrieved the tube of lube and slicked his fingers. He traced his husband's entrance before pushing a finger in, and felt Minoru relax into it. Felt him clench around him intentionally and ground against him. He pushed another in and grazed the sensitive bundle of nerves, making Minoru cry out in pleasure. He smoothed his hand over Minoru's uninjured inner thigh, spreading him wider as he teased him, pumping his fingers against his prostate.

Minoru moaned, arching his head back in pleasure, "Naruto," he breathed out, "Oh - God - please -"

Naruto grinned and slowly withdrew his fingers, making sure to press on the sensitive bundle. He slicked himself, his eyes locked on Minoru who was intently watching him. He slowly pushed inside of him, groaning at the tight heat that enveloped him, at the way Minoru arched his back and how his breath quickened. And when he was fully seated, he had to use every ounce of self control he had, because those weeks wherein Minoru was absent came crashing down on him. But when those slender hips rocked against his, it almost all slipped.

Their rhythm was slow, and deep. He leaned down as he circled his hips and sealed his lips over the panting pair. Hands smoothed over his thrusting hips, his flanks, his chest his shoulders. Fingers threaded into his hair the way they always loved to, that always made him smile. He snapped his hips forward, eliciting a noise from the younger man and a breathless "yes".

Minoru felt the tightness in his lower an abdomen all too soon. He didn't want it to end, he wanted to stay like for as long as he could, with Naruto between his legs, hovering above him, with that look on his face, with those cerulean eyes fixed on him. He moaned uncontrollably when a warm hands took hold of his dripping erection, it's thumb rubbing circles on on the sensitive head, " Na-ruto- " he ignored the slight throb in his thigh but it didn't get past Naruto, "D-on't stop - Na-ruto please don't s-stop -"

"Let go," Naruto whispered with a grin. And felt Minoru tense under him. His glowing eyes screwing shut as he arched his head back into the pillows, his hands finding purchase on his shoulders almost painfully. But he didn't care, not when he was moaning the way he was, and coming in his hand, spilling his hot seed on his stomach. "Minoru," he moaned as glowing eyes opened to look at him, their pants off air mingling together. "Mi-noru" he gripped a hip, smearing come on skin.

"Yes," Minoru gasped out, "Yes, my love." Naruto's hips faltered with a low moan. He pulled him down into a hot kiss, delving his tongue into that hot mouth. Minoru moaned at the feeling of being filled, his rigid length pulsing inside of him.

They panted for air as they basked in their afterglow, planting soft kisses on flushed skin. Naruto smiled when Minoru let out a pleasant sigh and opened his eyes with a little chuckle, and a warm hand cupped his flushed cheek.

"I love you," Minoru said a bit breathlessly, "Thank you..." Naruto gave him a confused look. "For taking care of me," he clarified a fond smile on his lips, "For making me go to the hospital when I didn't want to."

Naruto softly chuckled and kissed the palm of Minoru's hand, "You don't have to thank me, silly." He planted a kiss on Minoru's lips, "You know, I realized that I don't know why you hate hospitals. I just know you do."

Minoru quirked an eyebrow, "Really? I thought I told you."

Naruto shook his head, "I just know you hate them. I just accepted it."

Minoru smiled, "Well, when I was younger, when I was still in the orphanage mostly, I would get really sick for some reason. It was either a really bad flu or stomach flu, to where I would get dehydrated and they would have to take me to the hospital and put an IV in me. And after I got adopted, it still happened, but not as often, and not as bad." He laughed, "but you know Iru-dad. So, I ended up disliking hospitals, the way they smell, and feel, I just..." He shook his head, "they give me a bad feeling."

Naruto nodded in understand, "I'm sorry."

Minoru chuckled, "It's alright," he smoothed his hands over Naruto's chest and his smile widened when he leaned down to plant a kiss on his cheek.

"I should probably feed you breakfast..."

"Aw, does that mean you're done with me?" He gave the older man a coy look and lightly pinched his nipples.

Naruto grinned.

Minoru stirred awake and found himself sprawled on his stomach and tangled in the sighed and peered at the alarm clock that told him it was well past 3pm. He pushed himself up on his good forearm and yawned as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"You are absolutely the cutest person."

Minoru blushed and looked over to the entrance of the bedroom to find Naruto leaning on the doorframe. He smiled and carefully rolled over to his back, and beckoned the older man with his index finger.

Naruto's smile grew as he moved to the bed and crawled over Minoru and kissed him, slow and sensual, pressing his body closer. And when he pulled away he couldn't help but smile at the blush that spread on the fair skin.

"Want to help me shower?" Minoru asked softly, a bit sheepish.

"I would never pass up the opportunity," Naruto said with a grin, and pulled away the sheets to expose Minoru's still nude body.

Minoru arched his back when cool fingers trailed down his chest, and flushed hotter when Naruto whispered "Beautiful."

"I'll help you shower," Naruto said in a low voice with a grin on his lips and slipped off his shirt, "Soon," he took Minoru's hardening member in a loose grip, eliciting a soft gasp. "Soon."

Minoru moaned when lips kissed his neck, moving lower to slide down to his chest. Naruto's hot tongue flicked his nipple and sucked on it. He rocked his hips when a hand teased it's pair. He owned for air as Naruto slid lower, and lips slid along his shaft, and Naruto's hot tongue followed suit, "Oh - fu -" he broke off with another moan when that skilled tongue swirled on the sensitive head.

Naruto was more than loving the way Minoru was reacting. His sensitive body was writhing and arching so sensually, he couldn't help it. He teased him, he slipped his fingers into and teased the sensitive bundle of nerves, making Minoru's erection twitch in response. He massaged his erection with his mouth, his tongue, and hummed when fingers threaded into his hair and the slender hips thrust into his mouth.

"Na-ruto - I - I'm -" panted for air as a heat washed over him and coiled in his lower abdomen. Another finger pushed in and he was gone, he cried out Naruto name as he came, his fingers unintentionally tightening in the blonde locks. He looked at Naruto when he felt him pull away, and hooked his good leg around his waist and pulled him closer. He kissed him, deep and hard as his hands pushed down the sleeping pants he was wearing past his hips. Naruto moaned into his mouth when he started to stroke him. His erection felt so hot, so thick, and so hard in his hand. He couldn't help but think how it felt to have him inside, to have him thrust into him - "I wish I could ride you," he whispered into his ear, "You love watching me, don't you?" Naruto groaned and thrust against him, and into his hand, "When I ride you, when I touch myself and come on you?" He gasped when Naruto sucked on his neck, "I love it too," he said breathlessly and moaned when Naruto reached in between them and took hold of his sensitive erection. He felt Naruto tense, making his hand quicken. He turned his head and lips instantly sealed over his, and then Naruto was coming long and hard in his hand, spilling his hot come on his stomach and he was coming with him with a low moan.

Minoru panted for air and chuckled as he planted a kiss on Naruto's cheek, "I can't seem to get enough of you."

Naruto chuckled a bit breathlessly, "I have no complaints as long as you're leg and arm are okay."

Minoru smiled widely at him, "They are." He hesitated, "Although I should probably shower..."

Naruto laughed and sat up, "Alright then."

Minoru's eyes trailed over Naruto's exposed skin, over his chest and taut stomach, to the waistline of the fee sleeping pants that sat extremely low of his hips, before moving up to meet the amused cerulean eyes, "What's wrong with me?" Naruto laughed and moved off the bed.

"Come on," he helped Minoru up and smiled when he leaned into him, "I'm just glad you're okay."

Minoru pulled away to look at the older man and smiled, "Of course. A bit beaten up, but I'm here," his smile widened, "I'm right here." He was a bit surprised by the sudden embrace Naruto gave him, mostly because it felt full of longing, and in need of reassurance. And he didn't hesitate when he return it just as tight.

"Hey," Minoru pulled away to look at his husband and met the cerulean gaze with a smile, "Are you alright?"

Naruto nodded, a smile tugging on his lips, "Yeah... Yeah I'm fine," he cupped a plane in the palm of his hand, and stroked his thumb under a midnight blue eye that flickered back at him.

Minoru searched the older man's eyes, his face, and gave him a warm smile, "I'm right here," he reassured and placed a hand on the bare chest in front of him, "I'm right here." He noticed how Naruto's expression softened, and gave him a small nod before leaning in and slipping their lips together. He wanted to chase away any thoughts that could be lingering in Naruto's mind, anything that that brilliant mind could be supplying him with, like the ways his injuries could have happened. How he could have bled out if the cut on his leg was maybe two or three inches off and would have hit an artery - while still being days away. How the burn on his arm could have been worse if he hadn't absorbed the Chakra of the jutsu that implemented it. How he used an enemy's Chakra as a reserve to make it through the pain.

No, Naruto didn't need to think about any of that. Not when he was right here, healing and standing naked in front of him. "Now," Minoru drawled with a grin, taking sun kissed hands into his, "About that shower..." He wiggled his brows, earning him a laugh from his husband. That happy laugh he loves so much.
