Naruto waited until he was sure that his grandparents were asleep before quietly getting out of bed. He quickly threw a hoodie over his clothes and picked up his suitcase that was at the foot of his bed. He looked around the room. There wasn't much there to begin with, the blonde wanting obscure decorations that Tsunade refused to allow him. His closet was empty except a few articles of clothing Naruto could care less about.
He was about to climb out the window when he glanced back over to the bed. How could he almost forget. He walked over to the head of the bed, picking up the nightcap that his parents gave him before they left. He pressed it to his cheek before shoving it in his hoodie pocket. He looked at the bed once again and reached underneath his pillow and grabbed a small, orange blanket, a fox printed in the center.
It was his baby blanket. He told his grandparents that he threw it out years ago but secretly, he kept it under his pillow, unable to ever throw it out. He walked back to the window and zipped open his suitcase enough to shove the small blanket inside and zipped it back up. He then opened the window and looked down.
It was a pretty far drop, not enough to kill him but if he fell, end up pretty hurt. He looked to the left where the small roof above the bay window in the living room was. He threw the suitcase to the roof where it almost slid completely off. He let out a shaky breath he didn't realize he was holding, anticipating the loud sound of the suitcase falling.
He threw his leg out the window and sat on the ledge, one leg still in the room. He slowly stood up on the very narrow ledge, managing to get both feet onto the narrow piece of concrete. He inched his way until he could safely step onto the roof. He let out another breath and took a deep breath. The hardest part was over. He could easily slide off the roof from here with no injuries.
As he sat down on the roof, about to slide off, a sharp 'hey' was shouted at him. He looked up wildly, looking around, thinking he got caught.
Sasuke came from the side of the house, glaring at the blonde. "What are you doing?" He hissed at the dangerous blonde.
"What does it look like?" Naruto gave him a slightly annoyed look.
Sasuke stood beneath him, his glare narrowing. "Are you fucking stupid, dobe?"
Naruto opened his mouth to angrily retaliate when Sasuke quickly cut him off.
"You're pregnant, idiot! What if you got hurt, huh? You don't even think!"
Naruto couldn't help but smile at Sasuke's concern, his earlier anger at Sasuke's insults, disappearing. At least he could tell that Sasuke cared. "How else am I supposed to get out?"
"Use the damn front door! You're leaving for good, why do you need to be concerned about being in trouble?" Sasuke reasoned. He let out an annoyed sigh, rubbing at one of his temples.
Naruto sheepishly chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, I didn't think about all that."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I know you didn't. Come down carefully, I'll grab you."
Naruto's smile grew bigger. He held out his suitcase. "You got this?"
Sasuke nodded, holding out his arms. He grunted as the weight fell into his arms but he placed it down carefully next to him. "Alright, now you."
Naruto nodded and turned himself around, he let his legs down and felt Sasuke's hands grip his calves. He slid down further until he was just barely gripping the edge of the roof and Sasuke almost had his waist. He let go and Sasuke braced himself for the weight.
Naruto smiled up at him as he felt solid ground beneath him. "Thanks."
"Hn." Sasuke grunted out. He picked up the blonde's suitcase and wrapped his arm around the blonde's shoulder. "Let's go home."
Naruto's heart swelled at the words 'home'. He wrapped his own arm around Sasuke's waist and allowed the raven to begin to walk them to the Uchiha's. Naruto sighed happily. He looked up at Sasuke only to see a frown on his face. "Hey, is everything okay?"
Sasuke blinked once only to slowly look down at the blonde and give him a blank stare. "Yeah. Don't worry about it." He continued to face forward.
Naruto frowned at the dismissive response. "You're not really that mad at me, right?" He couldn't help but to feel worried. He's pulled that stunt hundreds of times, never falling once. He understood that being pregnant made it more of a big deal, but to give him the cold shoulder?
Sasuke didn't say anything, keeping his gaze forward.
Naruto sighed heavily. "I'm sorry, Sasuke. I didn't mean to piss you off so badly."
"Don't worry about that, dobe. The important thing is your safe and with me now." He pulled Naruto closer to himself.
"So you're not mad at me?" Naruto asked hopefully.
Sasuke shook his head. "No."
That was all the reassurance the blonde needed as he fell further into Sasuke's hold.
They reached the Uchiha residence shortly after. Sasuke let the two of them in, knowing his parents wouldn't bother to check up on them. He guided the blonde to his room where Naruto gasped at the cleared out spaces that were made for him.
"You have some room in the closet for your clothes." Sasuke pointed out as he took off his hoodie. "And I made some space at the desk for you but we'll have to get you a chair sometime. I know you always wanted to decorate too so feel free to do whatever you want with the room." Sasuke mentioned casually, a light blush on his face.
Naruto beamed at the effort Sasuke put in to make him feel welcome. He turned to face the raven before enveloping him into a tight hug. "Thank you, Sasuke. I really appreciate this."
"Hn." Sasuke gave a small smile down to the blonde, slowly returning the hug. It felt nice to have Naruto in his arms like this. "Anything for you."
"So," Naruto pulled away after sometime, causing the raven to let out an annoyed breath at the loss of contact. "Where will I sleep?"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious? With me of course."
Naruto looked at him then to the bed, and back. "Will your parents be okay with that?"
Sasuke scowled. "You're already pregnant. No one's going to care."
Naruto giggled. "I forgot about that."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Apparently Itachi did too." He mumbled under his breath.
"What'd you say?"
"Nothing." Sasuke began to pull off his shirt and Naruto couldn't help but to stare as his pale skin was revealed. Sasuke smirked at the attention and stepped closer to the blonde. "We don't have to go to sleep just yet."
Naruto smirked, stepping closer to him. With half-lidded eyes, he began to trail his fingers over Sasuke's skin.
Sasuke shivered at the contact only to hiss in pain as the blonde pinched his side. "What the fuck?!"
"We have school." Naruto snickered as he made his way to his suitcase, pulling out his pajamas.
Sasuke groaned loudly, sitting on the edge of the bed. He watched Naruto gather his clothes and make his way to the door. "Where are you going?"
"To change." He held up his clothes to show the raven.
Sasuke laid out on top of the bed, watching with a mischievous smirk. "Change in here, I want a show."
Naruto rolled his eyes before making his way into the middle of the room. "Fine, but no funny business!"
Sasuke held up his hands in surrender. "I wouldn't dare dream of it."
They were soon climbing into bed together, Naruto snuggled up into Sasuke's side, head resting on the pale chest. "Thank you, Sasuke." He mumbled as sleep was beginning to overtake him.
Sasuke looked down at the blonde as best as he could. He moved his arm that Naruto wasn't on to start threading his fingers through the golden locks, unknowingly lulling him to sleep. "For what?"
"Hm." Naruto sighed happily, the feeling of his hair being played with felt nice. "For deciding to have a future with me."
Sasuke's cheeks tinted a slight pink and he looked at the wall. "Of course, dobe. I wouldn't have it any other way."
"I love you, teme." Naruto yawned once and snuggled in closer before soft snores were heard.
Sasuke let out an amused snort before looking at him again. "I love you."
The next morning, the couple walked into the school together, hand in hand. Despite Sakura and Ino's protest, Sasuke ignored them and sat with Naruto on the bus. Naruto made sure Sakura saw how happy Sasuke was with hanging out with him, making sure to throw himself over the raven as much as possible.
Itachi, though half-asleep, was put in a bad mood at the display of affection. Jealousy seemed to not want to leave him alone regarding the young blonde. He tried his best to ignore the couple, making sure to make his way off the bus before either of them.
Naruto frowned at Itachi's retreating form, feeling a bit disappointed that the older Uchiha didn't follow them to the cafeteria for coffee. "What's Itachi's problem?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto in confusion before glancing in the direction that Naruto was facing. He narrowed his eyes as Itachi was making his way up the stairs. He sucked his teeth, slightly scowling. "Who cares. We don't need him here."
Naruto raised an eyebrow at Sasuke's oddly hostile behavior.
"Sasuke!" A voice called out and both Naruto and Sasuke turned to see Kiba waving his hand frantically and heading in their direction.
The brunette was soon in front of the pair, panting slightly. "Did you get to talk to Neji yet?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "No."
Naruto scrunched his nose in confusion. "Neji? Why would you need to talk to Neji?"
Kiba glanced at the blonde. He knew the blonde was deemed a loser and outcast, and the reason most people don't bother him was only due to being associated with Sasuke. Kiba personally had no problem with the kid. "Sasuke needed a favor. I read one of his ultrasound projects for him."
Naruto froze. Did that mean that Kiba knew he was pregnant? He worriedly glanced at Sasuke who looked mostly annoyed. He let himself relax. If Sasuke wasn't worried, he shouldn't have a reason to be either.
"And he's supposed to talk to Neji and talk me up so I can ask out Hinata without any problems." Kiba complained to the blonde, seeing as Sasuke wasn't really listening.
"I'll get to it when I get to it." Sasuke snapped.
"Come on, dude! The botanical garden's first opening this weekend and you know they have all those special displays! I wanted to take her!" Kiba pleaded. "You gotta talk to him now before the tickets are sold out!"
"I'm hanging out with Naruto." Sasuke wrapped his arm around Naruto's waist to prove a point.
"Aw, come on, please! Naruto!" Kiba turned pleading eyes to him. "You understand, right? It's for love!"
Naruto gave Kiba a smile before looking up at Sasuke. "Go on, you made a promise. And we'll always have later today."
Sasuke let out an annoyed sound, somewhere between a growl and groan. "Alright, Inuzuka, I'll go talk to him."
Kiba's eyes lit up and he grabbed Naruto's hand, shaking it wildly. "Thank you so much, blondie!"
Naruto laughed as he watched Sasuke begrudgingly make his way to wherever Neji was, Kiba bouncing on his heels behind him. He turned to make his way to his locker when he spotted Gaara. "Gaara!" He called out, hoping he could get the red-head's attention.
Gaara paused and turned, waiting for Naruto to catch up with him. "Hey Naruto."
"You wouldn't believe the day I've had yesterday!" Naruto began, following Gaara to his locker.
"Oh yeah?" Gaara asked with interest.
"Yeah. I told my grandparents about being pregnant."
Gaara hummed in sympathy. "How did that pan out?"
"Pretty bad." The blonde admitted. "But Itachi, Sasuke and I talked about it after school yesterday and Itachi came up with the idea for me to move in with them." Gaara narrowed his eyes at the bit of information but didn't interrupt. "And when their parents found out I was pregnant, Fugaku was the one to suggest it!"
Gaara's eyes widened and he almost dropped the textbook he was taking out. "Fugaku? Fugaku Uchiha?"
Naruto nodded, a smirk on his face. "Yep. And guess what else?"
"What?"
"Sasuke promised that he's going to be committed and even not hangout with Sakura and Ino anymore."
Gaara let out a tired sigh. "Naruto." He trailed off.
"It's different, Gaara. He wants to have this baby with me." Naruto smiled happily. "And he picked me up last night from my grandparents to move in right then. He even made space for me in his room! He's already proving he's caring more."
"It's been a day, Naruto. That hardly proves anything." Gaara closed his locker door with a slam and began making his way to Naruto's locker.
Naruto frowned, staying in place. "Can't you be supportive? Like Itachi?"
Gaara paused and turned to face the blonde, a questioning look on his face. "Itachi? What does he have to do with anything?"
Naruto shrugged, walking over towards Gaara. "He's just, really been there for me. He comforted me when Sasuke kissed Sakura. Even giving me advice on what to do about Sasuke, and about me being pregnant. When I went to the nurses' yesterday, he was there too. He even saved me from Sakura trying to hit me."
Gaara's eyes widened before narrowing suspiciously. "Naruto, you better be careful about the situation you're putting yourself in." He began to walk again.
"What?" Naruto, confused by Gaara's words, made a face as he followed him. "The situation I'm putting myself in? What situation?" They reached Naruto's locker. Tan hands quickly spun the lock to the correct numbers, opening it swiftly.
"You don't see it? You're placing yourself between two Uchiha's. It's a competition for your heart."
Naruto paused from taking his books from his locker to laugh loudly. "What are you talking about? There is no 'competition for my heart'." He scoffed, shaking his head before continuing to pull out books. "Itachi is practically my brother. There's no romantic love there." He slammed the locker closed, just in time for the first bell to ring.
Gaara shook his head. The blonde's naivety never ceases to amaze him. He'll have to keep a lookout. "Whatever you say, Naruto. I'll see you later." With a wave of his hand, he walked in the direction of his first class.
"Pft. Gaara doesn't know what he's talking about." Naruto mumbled to himself as he began to walk to his own class. He furrowed his eyebrow in thought. 'Right?'
