Author's note: This is something silly I came up with on the fly. Literally wrote it in less than an hour just now. Have this while I work on other updates! Hopefully it won't be too ridiculous!

Warnings: Naruto's pov; Alternate universe; established slash; fluff; just tooth-rotting fluff; anaesthesia is too powerful even for an Uchiha

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Kishimoto owns it. I also took the explanation for care after a wisdom tooth extraction from a site of the NHS, so hopefully I didn't make any mistakes with that!

I hope you'll like this silly drabble!

Loose-lipped

"The anaesthesia should wear off soon," Rin reassured, removing her gloves. "The procedure went fine, so let's talk about what he will have to do now."

"All right, lay it on me," Naruto smiled, but couldn't help but glance worriedly at Sasuke, who was staring dazedly in front of him. "He's really going to be all right?"

"Yes, he's just under the influence of anaesthesia still, he'll be fine in a couple of hours," she assured him again. "Now if necessary, he can take painkillers to deal with the pain, just keep in mind that he can't take too much, but I'm going to assume you're both smart enough to read the recommended dosage."

"We are," Naruto confirmed dryly.

"He should avoid any strenuous activity and exercise for at least the next few days." Her eyes glittered amused when she added pointedly, "That includes sex just to be on the safe side."

"Okay, got it!" he said hastily and waved his hands. "Anything else?"

"Yes, he needs an extra pillow to support his head at night and for the next twenty-four hours he should avoid rinsing, spitting and hot drinks in general. He also can't have any alcohol for the next twenty-four hours and – he doesn't smoke, does he?"

"No, he doesn't." Sasuke didn't even want to be near anyone who smoked, let alone that he would ever try a cigarette himself.

The dentist nodded. "He will need soft or liquid food for the next couple of days and he needs to rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash after twenty-four hours have passed. He needs to rinse with that mouthwash regularly for at least the next few days, especially after he has eaten."

She started tapping at her keyboard. "Let's see, did I forget to say anything else?" she pondered. "We already made an appointment next week for a follow-up, so that's arranged … You're going to drive him home?"

"Yeah, I don't think he's really in a good state to do that now," Naruto said, growing slightly amused at the way Sasuke was staring dopily at him. God, he had never seen him look like that and the urge to grab his phone and take a picture was getting hard to suppress.

"No, I don't think he is," Rin chuckled and stood up; a sign for Naruto to do the same.

"All right, Sasuke, here we go, back home," he announced and wrapped his arm around Sasuke's waist in order to tug him alone.

"Home?" Sasuke slurred; his right cheek where the wisdom tooth had been extracted already looking quite swollen.

"Home, yes," Naruto confirmed cheerfully and dipped his head in a bow towards Rin, not daring to go for a deeper bow with Sasuke clinging onto him. "Thank you for your care."

"Not a problem, I will see him next week. You two take care!"

The door fell shut behind them, Rin preparing herself for her next patient, and both men slowly made their way to the car; Naruto carrying most of Sasuke's weight. It was a good thing he still worked out weekly with Gaara, because Naruto wasn't certain whether he could have held up Sasuke otherwise. Not that Sasuke was in any way fat – the guy could model, for fuck's sake, he had both the face and the body for it! – but he was slightly taller than Naruto and was leaning most of his weight on the blond man now.

"All right, let's get you home and propped up on the couch, hm?" Naruto suggested, panting slightly after he'd finally got Sasuke into the car and buckled up. He would have to hunt down an extra pillow for the bed after he'd finished setting up Sasuke in the living room.

Sasuke was rather quiet as they made their way back home, but that wasn't that unusual, considering he was a rather taciturn person to start with. What was slightly unusual was the way he kept staring at Naruto while the latter drove, blinking rapidly every ten seconds as if he couldn't really believe what he was seeing.

"You want to watch some telly?" Naruto suggested once they had made it home and Sasuke had plopped down onto the couch.

Sasuke rolled his head back against the couch and looked up at Naruto, still carrying that same dazed look he had had since they had left the dentist's office. "Where am I?"

"You're home," Naruto said patiently. "So, telly?"

Sasuke squinted as if he was looking straight into something bright. "You are really beautiful," he said wondrously; his eyes bright and large.

"Oh, I am, am I?" Naruto grinned.

"Very much so," Sasuke told him solemnly and his hand fumbled, his fingers grappling in the air as if he couldn't really judge the distance between him and Naruto that well. It had him pouting and Naruto inwardly shrieking at the absolute goddamn adorable picture his boyfriend was making right now.

Who the hell had told Sasuke he had the right to look so damn adorable when he was pouting? Why was that even a thing?!

"You're so very hot," Sasuke went on seriously; his eyes lightening up when he managed to grasp Naruto's hand. He sat up, bringing the hand to his mouth to press a clumsy kiss against it. "So hot and pretty, how are you real?"

"How am I real?" Naruto snorted, barely able to suppress his laughter. "I could say the same about you, you know."

"No, no, I cannot compare." Sasuke shook his head and then stopped quickly, frowning slightly as if that movement had been a wrong idea. "Do I have a chance with you?"

"A chance?" Naruto repeated befuddled.

"Yes, a chance with you. Do I have it? Or did someone else get lucky and won you over?"

How could Sasuke still sound so eloquent yet so ridiculous at the same time? How was that possible? Naruto wouldn't need to do any exercise to train his stomach muscles this week with the sheer amount of strength he was practicing not to bust a gut with his laughter.

"Don't you remember? You already won me over, silly," Naruto snickered and sat down on the coffee table in front of the couch when it became clear Sasuke wasn't about to let his hand go.

"I did?" Sasuke asked amazed, looking as if he was currently experiencing a miracle. "You mean it?"

"I mean it," Naruto said, doing his best to sound as solemnly as he could, but that was hard with the way Sasuke looked so utterly delighted, like a child getting everything they had wished for.

God, if Itachi was here, he would never let his little brother live this down.

"What are you doing?" Naruto asked bewildered when Sasuke fumbled with both his hands, raising them in the air to study them closely as if they held the secrets to the universe.

"You don't have a ring," Sasuke remarked, scowling unexpectedly. "Why aren't you wearing a ring if you're mine?"

Oh my god, was this bastard for real? He didn't even get this loose-lipped when they drank alcohol!

Naruto waggled his fingers, drawing black eyes towards them. "Well, because you haven't asked me yet, of course!"

"You want to get married?" Sasuke asked promptly, looking oddly focused given he was still under the influence of the anaesthesia.

Naruto's heart started thudding quicker, but he forced himself to remain calm, reminding himself that Sasuke was definitely not in the right state to ask an important question like that. "How about you ask me again when you're no longer under influence, hm?" he suggested instead, ignoring the way his cheeks felt rather heated all of a sudden.

"I know what I'm saying," Sasuke insisted and pressed Naruto's hands against his cheeks, closing his eyes and sighing while Naruto squeaked in surprise. "Promise you won't leave until I get a ring around your finger?"

"So I can run away afterwards then?" Naruto teased.

The offended look instantly plastering Sasuke's face had him laughing aloud this time. "Well, you're the one who asked me not to leave until I get a ring!"

"You have to stay afterwards with me too," Sasuke said and if he was anyone else Naruto would say he sounded like he was whining.

Naruto was having the time of his life right now. Who knew having his wisdom tooth extracted would make Sasuke this loopy and this loose-lipped? Was he even going to remember anything of this after the anaesthesia wore off completely?

"Promise you'll stay with me afterwards too," Sasuke insisted when Naruto took too long to respond.

"Are you even going to remember anything of this once you sober up?" Naruto snickered, petting Sasuke's left cheek.

"I'm not drunk," Sasuke instantly refuted, not even bothering to push some strands of his hair out of his face. Naruto did that for him, which earnt him another dopey looking smile. "Stay with me forever?"

God, no wonder Itachi had said he'd been smitten with his baby brother the second he had laid eyes on him. Who could say no to that precious hopeful face? Naruto's heart was going to burst from the sheer adorableness that Sasuke was currently exuding and it would be the bastard's fault if Naruto's heart exploded straight out of his chest!

"Yes, yes, I'll stay with you forever," Naruto promised, as if he hadn't teased Sasuke before how the other man would never be able to get rid of him again.

Sasuke's smile was frankly blinding and he hummed slightly off-key as he laid back against the couch, content to hold Naruto's hands forever. "I can't believe you're mine, so beautiful!" he marvelled.

Naruto laughed, fearing his cheeks were never going to recover from this. "You're not so bad looking yourself, you know," he switched back to teasing.

"No, no." Again Sasuke shook his head firmly. "You're pretty and beautiful and hot and you're like my sun. Yes, you're my sun," he declared, looking proud of himself as if he had come up with a great poem.

"What am I going to do with you?" Naruto sighed, but still laughed.

"Giving me the honour of marrying you," Sasuke told him seriously.

Naruto snickered and this time he lifted up their hands in order to press a kiss against Sasuke's palm, which delighted the black haired man to no end. "Ask me again when you're sober," he repeated.

"For you, everything," Sasuke promised, squeezing his fingers.

"You're lucky I love you too much to gain blackmail material," Naruto informed him matter-of-factly and sank down on the couch next to him. "Your brother would have an absolute field day with how you're behaving right now, I hope you know that. And here I am, not even filming it!"

Truly, his restraint was unparalleled! Sasuke better appreciate it once he was back to normal!

"You love me?" Sasuke said amazed, latching on to the only thing he deemed important enough.

"You're adorable, you know that?" Naruto retorted.

"You're adorable!" Sasuke shot back instantly and as if his mind was stuck in a one way loop, he went on dreamily, "And so very pretty, pretty like an angel, pretty like - "

"All right, I get it!" Naruto hastily shut him up by covering his mouth. "You're going to be embarrassed as hell, dude, when you sober up again. Man, the amount of blackmail I'm missing out on currently … You better thank me for my self-restraint!"

"I thank you however you want," Sasuke promised the second Naruto removed his hand. "You're really mine?"

Naruto covered his face with his arm for a moment, trying to calm himself down. His stomach was actually starting to hurt from all the laughing he'd done so far. How come Sasuke was this chatty? Just what on earth had Rin put in those anaesthesia?

He only lowered his arm when Sasuke carefully tugged at it, murmuring through a pout, "Mine?"

Naruto stared back at him, half exasperated, half fond. "Yes, yours."

The way Sasuke's face lit up at that should be damn illegal. Naruto let himself be tugged against Sasuke's side, surrendering to being subjected to even more praise tumbling from his boyfriend's lips as Sasuke found more and more things about him to remark upon.

Naruto's cheeks definitely were never going to recover from this afternoon. He probably wasn't going to recover from this. He cast a longing look at the phone he had left behind on the table and the chance of delightful blackmail it could have presented, before sighing softly and snuggling deeper into Sasuke's embrace.

Sasuke better appreciate his restraint, damn it! Although, Naruto smiled mischievously as Sasuke happily waved their entangled hands back and forth, nothing said he needed video proof to tease Sasuke with what he had said.

After all, it wouldn't do to have Sasuke forget all about his promise, now would it?

The End

AN2: Like I said, something silly, but it doesn't always have to be full of angst, right? :P
