Author Notes:

This is the last chapter, I was supposed to post it the previous Friday but I was too swamped with work T_T. Sorry guys, even though I made a promise to myself that I would post on time. Anyhow, I hope you're enjoying your time with me. Have fun readying.

The upcoming week, Naruto lived in a daze. His mind kept replaying events of the night he lost his virginity, every time a scene would play out, he'd turn red and enter another daze, it reached to a point where his performance in the field was affected. Neji had asked numerous times if something was wrong; yet the blond continued giggling like a school girl with flowers spurting all around, saying he was perfectly fine. Finally, the one who was able to conclude that Naruto had gotten laid was Gaara, he said it as a snide remark, but as the blond turned beat red, the two realized Gaara had hit home.

Sasuke on the other hand continued treating Naruto with the same indifference as always. As if that night meant nothing to him, the blond was a little bit irritated at it in the beginning, but when he realized that that was how Sasuke dealt with being shy, he rejoiced. Currently, Naruto was cleaning the balls on the field as a punishment for not paying attention at training. Sasuke came to help his boyfriend, not wanting him to suffer alone. The blond smiled, realizing how much of a softie Sasuke truly was. He would insult Naruto, but would be the first to help when he needed him. A true tsundere, resembling a jellyfish that played the role of shark. It didn't bother Naruto, in fact, he thought it was endearing.

"Let's go, Naruto, that's the last ball." Sasuke commented as he threw said ball to the designated basket.

The blond nodded and followed after him. They went to change, in a matter of fifteen minutes, both were out of the locker room and the club. Smiling like a content cat, Naruto whispered.

"Sasuke, do you want to come over tonight?"

"No, I have to work tomorrow," The reply was abrupt, without hesitation. "We are launching a new project at the company again."

Naruto remembered how busy his boyfriend was the last time he had a project and nodded. "Aha, okay then… I'll come visit."

"No, you can't. You have an exam three days from now, study." Sasuke scolded.

"It's not that big of a deal, I can pass without much work."

"You said that the last time and you failed, remember you need a certain amount of credit to pass the year. Even if you're set on changing majors, that won't work if you can't pass your first year."

Naruto looked at his boyfriend then wrinkled his nose. "Sasuke… you sound like a nagging mom."

A smack was delivered to his head. "Don't jinx my future kids, they won't be as stupid as you!"

Suddenly the footsteps of Naruto stopped and he looked with a puzzled look at Sasuke. "Umm… Sasuke, you want kids?"

As if asked a stupid question, the raven haired Uchiha answered. "Hah!? Of course, I want kids. I need to continue my family's name."

"Is that the only reason? There's still Itachi, he can do that."

Sasuke frowned and asked with a scowl. "Wait, don't tell me you don't want kids?"

Sheepishly, Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "I… I never thought about it, isn't it kinda early to think of kids? I'm still in my first year of school, I don't even know what my major would be."

The Uchiha continued walking. "I'm not telling you to have kids right now, I'm just saying, haven't you ever thought about becoming a father? I mean… didn't you ever think stuff like 'when I become a father, I'd never do this to my kids or I'll teach them this'?"

Naruto thought hard about this and a certain memory floated to his head, he was still in the orphanage and Iruka was still not allowed to adopt him. At that time, it's not that he thought he wanted to have children and be a father, no, he simply wished for a big family. He always thought that if he had siblings, his life wouldn't be as lonely as it used to be. It was a little different from Sasuke's analogy, but he understood where his boyfriend came from. However, a sad reality washed over him.

"Then, Sasuke, does that mean you'll break up with me?"

For the second time that night, the Uchiha looked at his boyfriend as if he was the stupidest being on Earth. "Do you want to break up with me?"

"No! You know I never want to!" Naruto clutched his sports bag with determined eyes, trying to convey his sincerity.

"Then there's no reason for us to."

"But you want kids," He dejectedly spoke. "Two men can't have children."

"Naruto, you're really old fashioned. Who told you two men can't have children? There are a lot of ways for that to happen. The extreme being to have one of us carry the baby, I heard some men did this, but in those cases they had a uterus… hmm… maybe that won't work, anyhow," The black eyed male trailed off, "It's better to go with either surrogacy or adoption."

Naruto was startled when he heard about a man being pregnant, but he ignored it and thought hard. "I prefer surrogacy, because if we have kids, I want them to have your blood or mine."

"Blood relationships aren't that important, Naruto, you should know that best." Sasuke smiled softly at this.

The blond returned the smile. "I know, I'm not saying not to adopt, it'd be cool to give a loving home to someone who needs it, but I still want a kid who has your genes at least."

Sasuke felt a small blush show on his face, he walked to his boyfriend and gave him a small kiss, some passersby gave the two odd looks but neither cared.

"I guess this is all in the future, for now you need to study and pass your exam." The Uchiha said as he yawned. "Come, I'll drop you off before I go home."

Naruto smiled and hurried to the side of his boyfriend. "Coming~"

Neji put the band on the tip of his braided hair and flung it over his shoulder, his eyes looked at his best friend with indifference. He didn't understand why Sasuke was so embarrassed, after all, it wasn't like it was their first time discussing sex. He asked one of the servants to bring them some refreshment while his companion got his act together.

"So? I don't have the whole day, Sasuke, answer me," He urged, having reached the end of his rope.

Sasuke fidgeted as he fixed his posture, feeling a little unsettling, he resigned and answered with a blush. "It was… awesome, Neji."

A bright smile with full teeth was shown to him, the lilac eyed male congratulated. "That's wonderful, then! I didn't think Naruto-kun would be that good, I guess you can't judge a book by its cover."

"No, no, he was horrible," Sasuke corrected. "I prepared beforehand like you told me, but he was too excited, came too fast and –"

"Did you use the lotion I recommended? It should have loosened you off properly." Neji interrupted before his friend dove further into his night.

Sasuke nodded, his embarrassment slowly diminishing. "Yes, it was uncomfortable, I did it at home for two hours before I went to his place. But even so, it was hard for him to enter, I thought he'd slide right in…"

"Of course he won't slide right in, you underestimate your asshole, Sasuke." Neji cringed at his choice of words and laughed. "Sounds weird, anyways, do continue."

"There's nothing more to say, Naruto was bad in the beginning, but he learns fast, he picked up on my techniques really well, after that the sex was good for a few minutes, but he came fast. I don't deny, I was a little annoyed, but I understood it…"

"Yeah, you shouldn't have expected him not to cum, so what happened?"

"I was about to go relieve myself in the bathroom, but unexpectedly he decided to help me."

"A blowjob? A handjob? What?" Neji urged when Sasuke stayed silent not feeling like sharing.

Sasuke's eyes glinted as he smirked. "Nope, he ate my ass."

The brunet whistled a little bit amazed. "Wooow, who knew~? Naruto-kun way to go."

There was a feeling of pride willing inside Sasuke, it was weird to feel proud of something like that, but a happy sex-life was fundamental to a happy relationship.

"You know, Neji, I'm impressed and slightly relieved that I was the first person to have sex with him, can you imagine if his first had horrible sex techniques? I'd suffer trying to correct them, writing on a white paper is always better."

"…Sasuke, it sounds like you're training a dog, not a person."

The Uchiha raised a brow. "Is there a difference?"

Neji sweat-dropped, he was about to refute but then a picture of Naruto wriggling happily and running behind Sasuke flashed in his head, he stopped his words, Naruto really was like an overgrown dog tagging behind his master. The lilac eyed Neji chose to say another thing.

"There was something piquing my interest when you asked me for help, Sasuke,"

"Shoot."

They had to hold their conversation when a servant brought them their refreshments, Neji's eyes sparkled when he saw the strawberry shortcake, it was his favorite little delight. It wasn't a secret that the handsome Hyuuga had a sweet tooth. Neji continued his conversation once they were alone.

"See, why did you want to bottom? You were always a hardcore top. I mean, all your male one nightstands were nekos. I thought there would be a power-struggle between you two," Neji chuckled. "I even was going to train Naruto-kun to be your perfect neko."

Sasuke sweat-dropped at this, he felt shivers run down his spine. Neji was the perfect gentleman, but he also had a hidden dark side, unfortunately, it showed vividly during sex. The first time Sasuke learnt about this, was when he walked in on him and Gaara engaging in some hardcore master-servant play. It took the raven haired male a couple of days until he could look them in the eye. If Neji was to really train Naruto, then… then… Sasuke felt his nerves flare a little when he imagined it. Naruto in a cute maid outfit, writhing under him, tied to the bed, begging for release.

Maybe getting Neji to train Naruto wouldn't be such a bad idea.

"Oi, oi, what are you getting all hot and bothered about?" Neji smirked.

Sasuke quickly caught himself and coughed, pushing the very tempting fantasy to the back of his head. "A-Anyway, to answer you, when I realized I wanted to go out with him, sex seemed natural. Naruto is a total virgin, I'm sure he doesn't even masturbate as much –"

A loud laugh escaped the brunet's lips, interrupting Sasuke for the umpteenth time that morning. "Right, right! I sensed it the first time I met him, he's really pure! Makes you want to pamper him and raise him right, like a little puppy~!"

"Yeah, that's why I wanted to take his virginity. I wanted him to experience the pleasure of penetration. It just didn't feel right for his first sexual experience to be me fucking him."

"But you're good at it if the rumors are true. You'd have given him the perfect first time."

Sasuke nodded. "I would have, but I still wanted to take his. Don't worry about it, it's not like I'm going to bottom all the time," A devilish smirk showed on Sasuke's face. "I'd have him think he has the power, but slowly, I'll train his hole to take me in."

Neji shuddered at the hellish look. "Sasuke, you're really twisted, I feel bad for Naruto-kun."

"I don't want to be told that by someone who makes his boyfriend lick his shoes."

"Oh, he loves it. I'd never do anything that Gaara won't enjoy. You should try to dominate Naruto-kun, I can lend you some toys, if you want to."

Shaking his head. "No, thank you, I don't want to use something you touched. By the way, where's Gaara? I thought you two were joint at the hip?"

"You would think that, but no. His siblings are in town; he's showing them around."

"Makes sense."

With that they finished their conversation, Sasuke excused himself afterwards, took the papers he'd come originally to take and left the Hyuuga household. His father and the Hyuuga head were always doing business together, so sometimes when important papers or projects needed to be discussed, Sasuke would go himself to speak with the Hyuuga head. At times, Neji would be there and he'd enjoy a little chat with him. When he was a kid, he knew there was conflict inside the Hyuuga household, yet afterwards, he learnt that it ended when Neji made it clear that the next heir would be Hinata; he won't disobey her and would act as her adviser. Besides, he wanted to become a doctor, running companies and the such wasn't his calling. He always spoke in the favor of his cousin, Sasuke respected that side of him; it was one of the reasons he considered the brunet a worthy friend.

Sasuke was in the same class as Neji in middle school, after his little incident, he was held back to a different year. Even so, Neji continued being a loyal friend, never abandoning Sasuke or severing their ties. Having the lilac eyed male close, was one of the reasons Sasuke pulled himself together from his inner turmoil.

As Sasuke rode his car, he thought of stopping at Naruto's apartment, but when a call came signaling how he was needed at work, he sighed and returned back to his original destination.

"Naruto, do you want to go to a mixer?"

The blond blinked at the pink haired girl and tilted his head. "A mixer?"

"Yes," Sakura nodded and explained further. "It's kinda last minute I know, but we are missing one guy. There should've been five girls and five guys, but one of the guys called just now to cancel, since I'm the one who has organized it, I'm in trouble. I need your help!"

They were sitting in the cafeteria after their first lectures have ended, Naruto smiled sheepishly and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, senpai, I'm not interested."

Sakura groaned aloud. "Why not? You don't have a girlfriend and it's been a while for me, please, Naruto," Sakura pleaded hard. "Don't worry every girl is very cute, I handpicked them especially! There's no one else I can ask! You don't need to do anything, just show up and drink then go home. If you don't want a girlfriend, don't get one!"

The blond could feel a headache forming, he really should stand his ground and refuse, but he couldn't just blurt out that he was going out with Sasuke, as well. Feeling cornered under Sakura's immense begs, the blond caved. Sakura cheered and told him the time and place where the group would meet. Naruto felt like he was betraying his boyfriend, but thinking that he wouldn't really be doing anything wrong, he stifled the feeling of guilt.

As night came around, the mixer was only an hour away, for Naruto's luck, he wasn't able to meet with Sasuke that day. The Business Faculty was having exams, so he couldn't encounter Sasuke as frequently as he used to. As the time came for the mixer, Naruto looked at his reflection in the mirror and walked out of the apartment, satisfied with his appearance. He got to the place on time, true to what Sakura said, the girls present were very cute and beautiful, if Naruto was single, he would have brought one home.

A few rounds of drinks started, there was a girl with short black hair who sat next to him, she seemed interested in him. Naruto tried to stay away from her, but she kept on approaching him, he didn't want to appear rude, but at the same time he didn't want to do something that would damage his relationship with Sasuke, that's why he ended up drinking until he couldn't know what's what.

The last thing he saw before totally passing out was the dissatisfied look on Sasuke's face as he hauled him to his car.

There was a sound of buzzing that just wouldn't shut up, Naruto felt around for his alarm clock, but the place where his alarm should be at was empty. When he was getting annoyed, he opened his eyes and was startled when the setting to his room had changed. Blinking a few times, he felt around another time until he was able to find the switch to the light, suddenly the room illuminated and he was met with one familiar bedroom. Navy blue was all around him, he quickly found the annoying alarm clock and silenced it. The time read four in the morning, he frowned at the odd time that this alarm was set to.

Looking around, there was no one lying there beside him. This was indeed Sasuke's room, then where was Sasuke? Naruto felt his head throb as he got out of bed, why was he in Sasuke's house in the first place? He walked some more and entered the bathroom, a soft smile showed on his face when he saw Sasuke lying inside the Jacuzzi, seemingly relaxing his tired muscles.

"Hey, there."

The raven haired male looked up from his relaxed posture and acknowledged his boyfriend with a nod. "You're up?"

"Your alarm woke me, why did you set it so early?"

"I have to review some questions before the exam."

Naruto walked inside and sat on the side of the Jacuzzi, he wiped the water under Sasuke's eyes and said. "You have dark circles here; you haven't been sleeping much."

"I will sleep when I'm done."

The blond leaned down to kiss but Sasuke stopped him. "You're banned from kissing me for a week."

Blinking at the odd sentence, Naruto tilted his head to the side. "Might I ask why?"

"You went to a mixer, flirting behind my back, how shameless." There was a look of irritation inside Sasuke's eyes. "I don't like being cheated on."

Naruto quickly started defending himself. "Sasuke, I didn't cheat! It was Sakura-senpai, she pressured me into going, I was helping her, if there was a way I could've refused, I would have!"

"Throwing the blame on someone else doesn't absolve you," The raven haired male's tone was neutral. "Why didn't you tell me about it? If you weren't doing anything wrong, then there's no fault in sharing."

The blond looked at the ground as he said. "I… I wanted to tell you, but I didn't want anything to distract you from studying. I know you have important exams now, knowing that I was at a mixer might cause you to get distracted."

Sasuke got out of the Jacuzzi and turned it off. Naruto blushed at the sight of his naked body, he drooled a little before Sasuke put on some robe. "Well, that consideration of yours was useless. At the end, you called me all drunk and asked me to come get you. Do you know how annoying it was to see you cling to those girls?"

Naruto stood up and was beside his boyfriend in a second, "Sasuke, you're the only one for me, if I really wanted them, I wouldn't have called you to get me. Please, trust me!"

"I trust you, but I don't trust them." Sasuke took a step and came face to face with Naruto, his tone changed becoming a little sharp. "You should know, Uzumaki, I'm a very possessive person. I don't like sharing. You are mine and as long as we are together, I advise you to carve that in the depth of your soul."

Even though Sasuke was obviously angry, Naruto couldn't help but laugh and grin. He closed the distance between them with a passionate kiss, ignoring Sasuke's previous comment about no-kissing. "I know, baby, I'm yours and you're mine. There's no one taking me away from you and, to prove my love,"

The blond stopped talking and kissed Sasuke's neck, sneaking a hand under Sasuke's robe, he played with his dick. Sasuke struggled in the beginning, but after a while, he resigned to pleasure. Naruto untied the robe and exposed Sasuke's alluring body, he grinned when he saw Sasuke's member stand proud. It'd been a while since they did anything sexual, the sight alone was driving him crazy. Not able to withstand touching alone, Naruto kneeled beside the throbbing cock and took it inside his mouth, he heard Sasuke's breath hitch. A smirk showed on his lips, but it soon vanished as he worked his techniques, careful not to bite, he started to give his boyfriend a blowjob. Kissing and sucking softly on Sasuke's dick, Naruto played with the dangling ball sac until a moan left Sasuke's sealed lips.

Pre-cum was soon filling his mouth, Naruto felt Sasuke thrust his hips into his mouth, he steadied the hips and signaled Sasuke to relax and leave it to him. Smearing his index finger with Sasuke's pre-cum, Naruto introduced it inside Sasuke's asshole. Right now, it wasn't that hard for his finger to enter Sasuke, Naruto didn't want to have sex with his boyfriend – seeing as how the other didn't have time – he simply wanted to give him another jolt of pleasure. He twirled his finger until he felt Sasuke's member twitch in his mouth. Going up and down the dick, Naruto gave a long, hard suck to Sasuke's tip and in the same time, his finger pressed on Sasuke's prostate.

"Ummm… Naruto… I'm … I'm coming…!"

Sasuke's breathing was ragged and his whole body quivered, he came shortly after his declaration. The blond didn't move and allowed the white semen to smear the inside of his mouth. Naruto looked up, his eyes locked onto Sasuke as he swallowed the thick cum.

"Delicious~"

The raven haired male blushed against his will, then rolled his eyes. "…Don't spurt nonsense, cum is bitter."

The blond smiled and stood up, it was apparent that Sasuke wasn't playing with himself as much as he had thought. Probably being too busy to tend to his needs. Grinning, Naruto looked to his boyfriend with sparkling eyes.

"Do you believe me now?"

Sasuke sighed at the simplicity of Naruto's thinking, believing there was no need to be angry anymore, he brushed his hair out of his eyes and replied. "Stupid Naruto, I do. It would be hard not to after that awesome job you just gave me. However, I need to take another shower now."

The blond's grin widened, his invisible tail wiggled as he chirped. "Then let's take one together!"

Sasuke ignored the big puppy eyes, put his hand on Naruto's face and kicked him out of the bathroom. "No can do, you'd end up fucking me if I let you, you perverted fox!"

Naruto had no retort to that because the bulge in his pants was evidence enough, sighing, he returned to the bed and started masturbating. For now, he'd satisfy himself with his right hand, until Sasuke is done with his exams, then he'd try his luck again to get into the other's pants.

"'Chicken-Butt'? Who is 'Chicken-Butt'?" Iruka blinked at the odd caller ID in Naruto's phone.

The blond smirked and answered his phone. "It's Sasuke, Iruka. Oh, hi, Sasuke, what do you need?"

Iruka watched his son go inside his room to chat, he shrugged at the strange nickname but said nothing. He could never understand what really went on inside Naruto's head, from early on, the burnet had decided not to question certain areas in Naruto's behavior. Five minutes later, his son came out from his room.

"Iruka, is it alright if Sasuke comes to have lunch with us?"

The burnet nodded with a smile. "He's more than welcome to, I'll make another serving for him."

"Thanks."

"You have gotten close to him, I am glad you're finally making a close friend, Naruto."

At his comment, Naruto's face turned serious. He plopped on the sofa next to his father and started. "Umm… Dad, there's something I need to tell you. I'm not sure how to say it and I don't want you to see me in a different way, but I just hate hiding this from you… I mean… umm, I wasn't really trying to hide it per se, but there was never a right moment… I guess that's not it either… ummm…"

The brunet quickly understood the importance of the situation, Naruto never rumbled on like that unless it was big. It was like his son's brain couldn't decipher important things so he always struggled trying to convey his emotions. Iruka closed the TV screen and gave all his attention to him. With a reassuring tone, he made the blond feel safe and loved.

"Naruto, there's nothing that you can ever do that will make me see you differently. I'm your father, I love you unconditionally so relax and tell me what's on your mind."

Naruto smiled at his words but he was still fidgeting, he trusted that Iruka wouldn't abandon him, but it was still nerve-wracking. Finally, gathering all his courage, he looked the older male in the eyes and said.

"It's about Sasuke, the thing is… um… I …. We are…"

"What is it, Naruto? Is there a problem between you two? Did you fight?"

"No, no, no such thing," He held his hands denying. "It's the opposite really, we are getting along well… too well in fact."

"Hmmm, that's good then. So what's the problem?" Iruka frowned, not catching what Naruto was trying to say.

"I… I… IRUKA, I'M DATING SASUKE!"

Naruto didn't mean to shout out loud but by the time he pulled his courage to speak, his control on his volume was diminished. Opening his closed eyes, he looked at Iruka's expression, his father looked surprised but that surprise was soon going down.

"I… I see." Iruka's face was passive as his words.

Naruto waited for another reaction, but when nothing else came, he enquired. "Umm… Dad, you're not disgusted?"

A laugh broke free from Iruka's lips and he said. "Naruto, I watched you play with your poop and eat it, I would hardly be disgusted by who you chose to love. Though I am surprised, have you always liked guys?"

Naruto shook his head frantically. "No, I'm sure I always crushed on girls… but I don't really know, I guess I can go for both since I'm dating Sasuke now. But with him, it's different, it's like it doesn't matter what gender he is, I love him because he's Sasuke. Man, a woman or whatever… as long as he's Sasuke then I'd fall in love."

Iruka stroked his son's hair and smiled tenderly. "I'm glad you grew up to be like this, Naruto."

"Irukaaa" The blond jumped his father and hugged the hell out of him, his voice was jittery and cracked as he added. "I'm so happy you're my father!"

"Me too, Naruto, me too." Iruka stroked Naruto's hair and allowed the silent tears his son was harboring to fall. Naruto was probably more nervous than he let on, the brunet mangaka understood it. They have never really spoken about relationships, Iruka thought Naruto wasn't interested in anything besides football, he smiled to himself, how wrong was he. As Naruto pulled away, he said to him.

"So since you're dating now, I guess we need to have the sex-talk, don't we?"

Naruto felt his face heat up and he shook his head. "No, no, we don't! We absolutely don't!"

Frowning at his son's reaction, Iruka instructed. "Listen, Naruto, I won't be a prude and tell you not to have sex, or wait until you're married, but you need protection! Don't underestimate STDs! Use condoms and be careful, you and Sasuke-kun need to schedule yearly tests as well to make sure everything's alright. There's nothing wrong with having sex, but have safe-sex."

The blond rolled his eyes at his father's advice and nodded. "I know, I know! I had sex-ED in school, Iruka! Please, don't give me the sex-talk!"

"Humph, being safe is the most important thing. Besides, Naruto, who is the bottom between you two?"

Now, Naruto's ears had steam come out of them, he stood up and quickly escaped to his room. "I'm going to study, bye, Iruka!"

The brunet rolled his eyes at his son's reaction and sighed, he now realized how old Naruto got. Finally finding a partner and falling in love, Iruka never expected Naruto to pat for the same team, but as he told him, it didn't matter to him who he wanted to date. As long as Naruto was happy, Iruka was happy. He flicked the TV back on, before deciding to go to the kitchen and start preparing lunch for three.

"Naruto, I always wanted to ask you but I forget, why don't you ever talk about your middle school days?" Sasuke probed, holding a cup of tea in one hand and flipping through Naruto's photo album with the other.

Iruka was very kind as to give him the album of Naruto's childhood to get better acquainted with the blond. The raven haired male had his doubts, but finally Naruto confessed to telling his father. Sasuke didn't really mind, he never wanted their relationship to be secretive, so for Naruto to tell his father wasn't something that Sasuke abhorred.

"Well, it wasn't a good time in my life, I guess…"

Sasuke put the cup down and hopped on the bed alongside Naruto, he was sitting on the floor comfortably, but he sensed that this conversation needed him to be closer to his boyfriend. Putting the album beside them, Sasuke spoke.

"Me too, remember when I told you there was an accident which made me repeat a year?"

"Yeah, you didn't want to tell me about it back then."

The black haired male nodded. "I think it's alright now. Back then I was close to Itachi, I wanted to do everything he did. So I worked my ass off to enroll in the same middle school, basically I was following his footsteps. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the big shadow that he has left behind, it was cast upon me by everyone. Everyone was comparing us, I hated the attention… I guess at that time, I started hating being his little brother. Itachi wasn't in the wrong, he was a genius and I was a mere human. I soon began to question things; why did everyone expect me to become him? Didn't they see me as me? Did I not matter if I wasn't as excellent as Itachi? Many more questions like those arouse in me. Then one day, I got into a fight with one of the students, I don't even remember what he said right now, but it was the last straw for me. I lost it and attacked him. I hit him so hard he was in the hospital for three months. I was very violent. If my parents weren't involved, I'd have been sent to juvie."

Naruto put a hand on Sasuke's pale one and asked. "You don't feel like that now, right?"

Smiling, he shook his head. "No, I think after I hit him and got all that black energy out, I started seeing everything as it truly was. Besides, Itachi he came and talked to me. I think he saw through my sudden burst of violence, he accepted me and saw the real me. I woke up then and realized that I was the one stifling myself, I was the one holding the noose and strangling myself. So when the school said I would be expelled for a year, I didn't mind it. My parents wanted me to change schools – actually, they could have bribed the board not to expel me – but at that time, I thought a year off wouldn't be so bad. I needed room to breathe and think straight."

Sasuke felt Naruto hug him tightly, they fell back onto the bed and he returned the hug. While planting a kiss to Sasuke's temple, Naruto whispered. "Sasuke, you're so strong, I love you~!"

A melodious laugh left the black haired male's mouth. "I love you, too. Do you realize, this is the first time you confess to me, Naruto?"

Naruto blinked with amazed eyes. "Eh, really? I thought I already said it."

"Maybe you thought and felt it, but this is the first time you verbally express it."

The blond drew Sasuke closer and kissed him a couple of times on the lips. "Then from now on, I'll say it as much as you want, I love you, I love you, I love you~"

Sasuke's laughs were like tunes to Naruto's ears. "Naruto, as I said before, you're such a girl and would always be."

Pouting, the blond nipped on Sasuke's ear. "Take it back or I'll attack you now, Uchiha~!"

"Ohoo, look who's threatening?"

"What will you do about it?"

Before they started goofing off again, Sasuke pushed against his boyfriend chest and said seriously. "Naruto, I don't want to pressure you, but I'd appreciate it if you could tell me about the stuff you're hiding. I have felt this for a while now, but there's a part in your past you're not telling me. If possible, I want you to know that no matter what happened, my feelings for you won't change."

Blue orbs got soft and Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke, returning him to the hug. After a while of silence, he whispered inside his ear his story.

"It's nothing really serious, I didn't mean to hide it from you, Sasuke, but it's something I chose to look away from. Remember when Iruka first met you? He said I don't have friends. I usually laugh it off and steer away form that conversation, but I never had real friends before, Sasuke. When I was in elementary school, I lived with my parents then they died and I was taken to an orphanage, I was removed from my elementary school and had to go to another one near the orphanage. I couldn't make friends because no one wanted anything to do with an orphan. I was alone and I had no problem with it, then I went to middle school, at that time Iruka was already my father. I think the first year was okay, halfway through my second year, Iruka decided he wanted to do a career-shift. I'm not sure if you're familiar with that –"

"I know what that is." Sasuke affirmed, a little annoyed that his boyfriend thought he didn't know what a career-shift was.

"Then I'll continue, we had little money so I couldn't buy many of the things my classmates could. I didn't want to be a burden to Iruka so I never asked for anything. Iruka was struggling to make ends meet, I couldn't be selfish, so when my clothes got worn-out or my bag had holes in it, I just managed. Even when the school wanted us to bring new stuff or buy utensils, I tried my hardest not to ask Iruka… in the end, I was target for bullying. I guess human nature is to pry on the weak, I was the poor, friendless kid who knew nothing but how to play football. It didn't bother me, the ball Iruka gifted me was my best friend. In my young head, I thought if I put up with it and ignored them, they'd stop. But that didn't happen, it got very bad that my books were torn and finally, the teacher noticed. He phoned Iruka and a huge uproar happened. Iruka got very mad at me, the school and at himself when he realized how tattered I have been living."

This time, it was Sasuke who held him close, Naruto smiled and enjoyed the warmth.

"To tell you the truth, that time wasn't good for Iruka and I, if it's possible I want to erase it from my memory. However, it's an important part of my life, I realized then how much Iruka loves me… he was super mad and blamed himself, he even wanted to stop being a mangaka and return to his old job. When I saw how he was willing to throw his dream for me, I woke up." Naruto's eyes softened as he continued. "I mean, I had this awesome person who would do anything for me, but there I was, acting like the victim in my own story… I felt pathetic. From that time on, I didn't hold back on anything I wanted, I tried to make Iruka feel how much I trusted and relied on him."

"That's great, Naruto." Sasuke tenderly cheered.

"Umhum, I also knew that my love for football ran real deep. When I got into high school, there was no bullying, I was treated like everyone else but I still couldn't make friends. I guess I was holding myself back and closing my heart to people. I realize now that friendship takes two to happen, I was unwilling to give my hand, that's why I didn't make a single friend."

Sasuke stroked Naruto's hair, before kissing him softly. "From now on, you don't need to worry, I will be your best friend, and if possible, I will be with you for as long as I am allowed."

Naruto grinned like a content fox. "Ditto, Sasuke~ I wish we can be in each other's lives for a long time!"

"I love you, Naruto, thank you for being with me."

The blond pinched Sasuke's nose and laughed. "Who's the girl now, Uchiha?"

With a roll to his charming eyes, Sasuke started goofing off with his boyfriend.

As Naruto did his best to concentrate on the exam paper, a yawn escaped his lips. He couldn't wait until the bell rang, he was sure most of his answers were correct, for two weeks now he was cramming like hell. If his effort wasn't rewarded, he didn't think he'd be able to finish the year. Besides, Sasuke had forbade any form of sexual contact for those last weeks, Naruto never thought he had such inclinations, but once introduced to the heaven of pleasure, it was hard to go without it. He sighed and reviewed his answers a last time, he was skeptical about a lot of the answers, but decided not to change them. He learnt from past experience how changing a fixed answer was always the wrong thing to do.

Finally, the bell rang and he was asked to hand in his paper. With a pounding heart, he gave it and exited the hall. The minute he was out, he saw a crowd of girls surrounding someone, a feeling of déjà vu washed over him and indeed, his boyfriend was leaning against a pillar with girls flocking all over him. Sasuke looked uninterested as always, Naruto heard the girls chat enthusiastically around him, some asking for dates, others for pictures together, but Sasuke acted as if they didn't exist, his poker face unchanging.

Naruto felt a smile break on his face, his boyfriend was really indifferent, but he felt a little relief, when their eyes met, life seemed to vibrate inside Sasuke's eyes and his face brightened. All the girls looked in awe at the rare expression, Naruto felt his heart quicken as a sense of superiority washed over him. Sasuke walked with sure steps and came to stand in front of him, his outfit was as fashionable as always. The blond was amazed as to why someone of his caliber would even agree to be with him.

"Naruto, how was your exam?"

Naruto was jolted out of his inner thoughts at the other's deep voice. He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and nodded. "I think it'd be alright, I answered the best I know how."

"Then it will be alright. Anyway, let's go, the atmosphere here is stifling."

His blue orbs looked at the girls behind Sasuke and he winced, from their eyes he knew he'd be questioned about their relationship and the reason Sasuke was waiting for him. Dreading the near future, Naruto sighed.

"You alright? Was it that tough?"

Shaking his head, Naruto denied the other's misunderstanding. "No, it's not that. A-Anyway, what brought you here? You have the day off, right?"

"I wanted to wait for you, today's your last exam, I wanted to be there when you get out."

The sweet words made Naruto's heart fly. He really wanted to kiss Sasuke right then and there, but they were in the middle of the university. Even if he had the balls to do it, he didn't want to trouble Sasuke with unnecessary rumors flying.

Suddenly, his hand was pulled and he was led to a small alleyway between two buildings, before Naruto could question his boyfriend, Sasuke locked their lips together. The blond quickly surrounded into the kiss, just when it was becoming a little steamy, Sasuke broke free and smirked.

"Whoa…" Naruto drooled at him.

"You looked like you wanted a kiss." He was answered his puzzled look as Sasuke used his handkerchief to wipe the drool from Naruto's lips.

Blushing at his sexy boyfriend, Naruto said. "…Um… so, do you want to do something?"

Sasuke looked at his watch and raised a brow. "What are you talking about? We have a game to catch, there's no time to waste."

"Eh?"

Again that morning, Naruto was made to run without any clear explanation. As hard as he thought, he didn't remember having a match that morning. But when they passed their field and went to Sasuke's car, he thought his boyfriend might have been mistaken. However, half an hour later, they were entering a huge stadium. Naruto was guided alongside Sasuke to the VIP section, he sat down in a comfortable chair, and was given a sandwich in his right hand, while his left held a cool drink. The blond blinked and tilted his head, obviously confused.

"A game?"

Sasuke smiled and pointed to the screen, Naruto's eyes shone, it was a game between his favorite team and a local one. Naruto's memory flashed reminding him, it happened one evening, he was watching a match with Sasuke on TV, he spoke about how much he liked that team and wished to view a game live. The problem was that his favorite team rarely played in a stadium close to him, besides the tickets would always sell out before he had time to buy them. It was very hard to get a seat on their games. It was a trivial thing he said in a leisure moment. Yet here he was, sitting front seat and watching his team play live. Naruto's emotions were overflowing; he couldn't contain himself.

"Sasuke, you're really something."

The Uchiha smiled softly and kissed Naruto again on the cheek. "I'm glad you're happy, now let's enjoy the game."

He returned the smile with a grin of his own and with that, they started watching the heated game.

"Err… Sasuke, I noticed something… you really love physical contact."

Black orbs looked at him, Naruto looked at their close proximity. Sasuke was lazing around in his room, even though the bed was empty, he was sitting on the ground, head on Naruto's lap.

"Hmm… I think I am normal."

The blond sweat dropped, he looked back at the first time when he met the Uchiha. Sasuke was always distant, didn't like anyone touching him, there was one time when they were practicing and Naruto unintentionally touched his arm, the death glare he was given was still engraved in his memory. However, once they started dating, it felt like a switch was turned on. Sasuke was very touchy-feely. He'd hold Naruto's hand when no one was looking, lean on him, hug him, sit on his lap or vice versa. Whatever it was, he made sure they were connected. The blond loved the change, it showed him Sasuke's cute sides and he fell in love more.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much about it."

Yawning, Sasuke agreed. "You are."

The blond watched Sasuke rub his cheek against his thigh and smiled. Probably Sasuke wasn't even aware that he was doing it, unconsciously, he always wanted to be close to Naruto. His tan hands ruffled the black locks and he asked.

"So what are your plans for the summer vacation?"

"Hmm… the summer tournament is coming up, so I think I'll practice for it."

"I meant aside from football?"

"The situation in the company has calmed down so I don't need to help out there…hmmm," Sasuke wrinkled his forehead thinking. "I guess there's nothing I need to do, why? Do you have any plans?"

Excited, the blond nodded. "Yes, I want to go back to the football themed amusement park! You remember it? The last time we didn't ride the rollercoaster."

"Ooh, yeah, I guess we can do that."

"And we can't forget the summer festival, the firework show and the beach! I want to go to all those places."

Sasuke chuckled a little. "Naruto, your train of thoughts is like a kid."

The blond puffed his cheeks, "I can't help it, I never did any of those things before. It's like my spring of love has finally come, I want to do everything."

"Your non-spring spring, huh?"

Before Naruto could reply to him the door to his room was knocked, then Iruka walked inside. He smiled at the intimate position the two males were in and spoke softly.

"Naruto, I'm going out with Kakashi, I made dinner so just heat it when you get hungry."

Sasuke raised his head from Naruto's lap out of courtesy to his father's presence, the blond crossed his arms and frowned. It had been a week since Iruka came clean about the identity of whom he was seeing. Of course, Naruto acted as if the news was news to him, he didn't want to stress Iruka so he behaved like he was okay with it. Even though his annoyed facial expression would sometimes betray him.

"Fine, just don't be late."

"No worries," The burnet grinned, then he directed his eyes at Sasuke. "Say, Sasuke-kun, would you spend the night or…?"

"I don't think so; I need to get home tonight."

"Such a shame, Naruto's always so happy when you do. Anyhow, take care, you two. If you need anything give me a call."

The blond waved his guardian to leave, Iruka was still treating him like a kid, he resigned himself to it since it wasn't about to change anytime soon. When the both of them were left alone, Naruto stood up.

"Well then, Sasuke, how about we have a match before dinner? Our score is 45-50, right? With me leading."

The Uchiha stood as well and hit his boyfriend on the head. "Your head has gotten stupider, it's I who is leading. You're two hundred years too early to win against me."

Their competitive nature took the better of them as Naruto's eyes flared. "Then how about a little bet, Uchiha?"

"I don't mind, as long as you don't weasel out of it like last time."

Naruto winced at those words, the last time he lost, Sasuke's request was for him to dress in a maid outfit and walk with him in the shopping district. To put it simply, he couldn't go through with it, walking one street was enough. He remembered how he begged Sasuke to allow him to treat him to something instead. After Naruto pled like crazy, the black eyed male accepted his pleas and agreed.

"D-Don't worry, I don't mind wearing anything right now!" He answered with nerves of steel. "Besides, you haven't won yet!"

"Then place your stakes, what would you do when I won?" The proud tone was evident.

"What do you want me to do?" Naruto asked, ignoring Sasuke's insinuations.

Sasuke thought hard about this then something flashed in his head. Yet before he could put his wager, he asked. "You go first; you were the one who suggested it."

"Then, then…" Naruto felt his cheeks heat up a little as he muttered. "I want you to wear that maid uniform when… when we have sex next time."

Sasuke felt the corner of his mouth twitch upwards, his boyfriend was as much of a pervert as he was. With zero ounce of embarrassment, he approved. "Fine, I have no objections, only if you'd agree to my request."

When those black orbs he loved very much glowed sexily, the blond gulped. "W-What's your request?"

"I want you to let me fuck you."

Naruto's heart dropped.

The stakes have never been higher, Naruto realized this as he maneuvered away from Sasuke's persisting attacks. They set the time for an hour, whoever scores the most wins. The pace of the game was as easygoing as always, but Naruto felt he was under immense pressure. Parading through town in a maid outfit was nothing compared to his ass being fucked. He was living a mayhem on the inside, logically speaking, Sasuke had every right to ask him to bottom, after all he was a male and was meant to penetrate. If Naruto wanted to be fair, he would give his ass on a silver platter, but… he just couldn't accept it. Call it stupid male pride or his alpha hormones kicking in, he just couldn't surrender his hole to Sasuke.

By the time he came to it, Sasuke was scoring one goal after the other. His brain was overheating with stress that he couldn't concentrate on playing. The black haired male frowned and called their match to a halt, he held the ball in his hands and walked towards his boyfriend. With a knifehand strike, he hit Naruto softy on the head.

"Yo, idiot, what are you doing?"

Jittering like a fish out of water, Naruto spoke. "Sorry, Sasuke, I don't know what's wrong. For some reason, I can't stop stressing."

Sasuke sighed. "Is the idea of being fucked so unacceptable to you?"

"I… it's not that, I just… I know I'm acting scared and stuff, so unmanly… but it's a little chilling."

The Uchiha rolled his eyes at the cowardly part of Naruto's personality. His boyfriend wasn't perfect, there were times where he'd get scared and stress over unimportant things, Sasuke learnt to love all those parts and relax them when needed. He started bouncing the ball on his head before saying.

"I don't know why you're stressing; this will only happen if I win. If I lose, your hole would be safe."

Naruto clutched his head and crunched on the ground, face drained of all color. "I know this, but the pressure of losing is unbearable."

"Then how about this, if you lose, we won't have sex right away, I will make you get used to it slowly. It won't hurt, I promise, you will enjoy it."

Naruto felt the uneasiness in him start to thaw a little. He looked with puppy-dog eyes at his boyfriend, then asked. "You… you promise?"

"Yes," A genuine smile was given to him. "Have I ever broken a promise with you?"

The blond shook his head. "You haven't!"

"Then trust me and focus on the game. There's still half an hour left and I'm leading three to zero, you need to work hard to get those goals back."

Sasuke was encouraging him softly, even though if he left him like this, he'd end up winning. But Naruto understood, it won't be any good to Sasuke winning like that. He loved their little matches because there was competition and sense of urgency. If it was a sure-win game, then Sasuke would lose interest in it. That's why he was annoyed with Naruto's lack of participation. Having finally awoken from his inner stress, Naruto slapped his whiskered cheeks and said.

"Okay, bring it on! I'm all fired up now!"

Sasuke threw the ball on the ground and in a second position his feet to shoot it, Naruto's eyes widened in surprise as a goal was scored in his net.

"Sasuke! No fair! That goal doesn't count!"

"Yes, it does, the game has already begun, don't be a sore loser, Uzumaki~" Smirking, the black haired male commented.

The blond swore he saw a pointy tail and two horns poke out of Sasuke's head, there was a little devil trapped inside his boyfriend. Gritting his teeth, he decided to play with all his might and get those four goals back. Half an hour later, Naruto was sitting by the big field in a daze, he looked at the evening sky and felt like he wanted to become one with the flying birds.

A pale hand was placed on his shoulder as Sasuke grinned down at him. "Naruto-kun, yoroshiku~"

Yeah, how nice would it be to fly with those free birds and escape reality.

Sakura munched on her chips alongside her two other friends. She was out right now with Ino, Hinata and they asked Naruto as well. It was a simple outing of movies and dinner. Yet she noticed that throughout their meet, Naruto looked lifeless. So far, she didn't want to pry and invade his privacy, but when her other two female friends excused themselves to the bathroom, she couldn't stop her curiosity anymore.

"Naruto!" She hit his moping head and stressed. "What's wrong? Why do you look like life has been drained from your body?"

A motionless Naruto looked at her, he smiled sheepishly. "Nothing's wrong, Sakura-chan, I was just practicing a lot these days… it's been hard."

Inside Naruto's head, he wasn't lying. He was indeed practicing, since Sasuke won their little bet that day, he was being stretched every chance the two had. Naruto was super restless about the whole thing, but he decided to take it like a man, if Sasuke could do it, so could he! However, after cleaning up the first time, and seeing how draining the process was, he decided that he wasn't man enough for it. Naruto had a new respect for his boyfriend, bottoming wasn't something he might enjoy. Even so, Sasuke didn't allow him room to escape. As a matter of a fact, every time Naruto would try to run away, Sasuke would enjoy tormenting him more.

It reached to a point where Naruto really thought that maybe it wasn't that he made Sasuke fall for him, but he fell in the other's trap.

A loud sigh escaped his lips, Sakura sweat-dropped at him. "That doesn't sound like simple practice."

Before he could reply, the two other girls returned, sparing him further integration from Sakura. His senpai had a level head on her shoulders, so he knew if he said anything, she'd pick up on everything soon.

"Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan, you can go to the bathroom now. We will hold the table." The sweet tone of Hyuuga Hinata reached his ears.

Naruto realized how much he liked to listen to her voice, Hinata was the little angel that gave him silent comfort. He was sure, if Sasuke wasn't there, he'd end up loving her.

"I think I will pass, let's just order for now." Sakura answered her.

Suddenly, his phone rang, the ID of 'Chicken Butt' flashed alongside a stupid picture of Sasuke – his middle finger was raised, his tongue was out, and was telling Naruto to 'fuck off'. Naruto quickly picked up and started talking, two minutes later, he hung up and looked at the trio.

"Umm… my friend is coming here, is it okay? He kinda didn't give me time to refuse."

A tender smile showed on Hinata's features as she nodded. "It's fine, Naruto-kun, he's welcome."

Ino seconded Hinata. "Yeah, I don't mind."

"The more the merrier, Naruto." Sakura offered her consent.

The blond nodded with a soft smile of his own. "Thank you, all."

"So who's coming?" Ino said as she told the waitress that came that they needed more time to order.

"Oh, it's Sasuke." Naruto answered causally.

Suddenly Sakura and Ino's eyes brightened and hearts flooded the table, the blond sweat-dropped, he has forgotten the major crush his friends had on his boyfriend.

"Oh My God, Naruto! You can't just drop this bomb on us like this!" Ino shouted.

"Inu-buta, hold my seat, I'm going to fix my make-up!" Sakura sprung out of her seat.

"Sakura, you big forehead! You think I will allow you to look pretty alone, wait, I'm coming too!"

"What the hell are you taking about? You just fixed your make-up!" The pink haired girl shouted, running down the stairs.

Ino followed keenly behind her. "That doesn't count! This is Sasuke-kun we are talking about! I need to look GORGOUS!"

In a second, the two girls disappeared from the two's viewfinders, arguing their way to the bathroom. The blond blinked and Hinata snickered sheepishly.

"Sasuke-kun is really popular." With a fond tone, she commented.

"You wouldn't say."

"But it's pointless."

Naruto frowned at her words. "Why would you say that?"

The pure lilac orbs got a little bit darker, alongside her tone. "Because he's dating you, Naruto-kun."

At that moment, Naruto felt his universe stop. His body went cold and his throat dried out. The blond didn't know why, but he never thought he would be found out so soon, nonetheless by Hinata. Calming his blazing nerves, he took a deep breath and with unsettling eyes, he enquired.

"How… How did you find out?"

Hinata smiled at him and questioned. "You're not going to deny it?"

"There's no reason for me to."

The girl next to him clapped her hands. "Very admirable, Naruto-kun, I would have been disappointed if you did. But don't worry, you didn't mess up or anything, it's just… I'm very observant to the people I like."

Her words left a bitter taste in his mouth, "People you like?"

Hinata maintained her smile and didn't elaborate. She called the waitress that was responsible for their table and ordered a juice for him, telling the blond to drink since he seemed parched. Naruto decided not to question her any further since she didn't want to answer, and took the offered juice. The atmosphere later on was a little bit dark. Soon, Sakura and Ino came back and not half an hour later, Sasuke was sitting with them.

The five individuals spent a nice night together, Naruto tried to stifle his nervousness and act normal. He was able to breathe when the night came to an end, but before his worries could evaporate, Hinata asked him to talk on the side. Sasuke watched with keen eyes as his boyfriend's face changed from utter fear to a bright grin in seconds. They came back and Hinata waved bye to the two boys as she left with her friends. Naruto waved back with a somewhat relieved heart, when Sasuke was sure they were alone, he questioned.

"You haven't been yourself throughout dinner, are you that displeased that I came over?"

Naruto looked at the man standing beside him and he sighed. Shaking his head, he started walking towards Sasuke's car. "No, it's not that, actually the reason is something else."

"What?"

"Hinata-chan, she found out about us."

There was no change in Sasuke's poker face as he opened his car. "…Oh."

Naruto raised a brow at the disinterested reaction. "Is that all you're going to say? 'Oh'?"

"Well, it was only a matter of time before it happens; we weren't really hiding it. Besides,"

"Besides?"

Sasuke's eyes darkened a little. "I knew she'd find out; we've had the same taste since we were kids."

By now, they were inside the car and Sasuke was driving them back. Naruto felt his emotions mix between being happy that Sasuke admitted he liked him and surprised that Hinata's words turned out to be true. He released a sigh as he covered his eyes.

"So she does like me after all…"

"Why do you think I came flying when you said you're out together?"

Naruto rolled his eyes at his boyfriend. "Sasuke, do you not trust me?"

"I think we have already answered that question," Black orbs pored holes in his head. "And I know Hinata, she might not have said anything but, knowing that you're dating me probably isn't sitting well with her."

The blond scowled at the accusations. "What's that supposed to me? I don't like your implications, Sasuke, Hinata-chan is a nice girl, just so you know, the last thing she said to me tonight was that she's happy for me, and she's cheering us on."

"Naruto, she only said those things to remain a good friend in your eyes, the minute she senses there are cracks in our relationship, she'd attack."

"Stop the car!" Unexpectedly, the blond exclaimed.

Sasuke was jolted form driving at Naruto's sudden words. "What?"

"You heard me, I won't sit in a place where Hinata-chan is being badmouthed!"

The Uchiha rubbed his head, how could he explain to Naruto that he wasn't badmouthing her. Simply, he was telling him about Hinata's dark side. She was a Hyuuga after all and Neji's cousin, how could Naruto not see it? Sasuke was always around those two so he was accustomed to them. They were good people, but when they wanted something, they'd go to great length to obtain it. Sasuke knew Hinata's personality well because it was similar to his. The reason she kept quiet and encouraged Naruto on was to save a place in his heart as the perfect female. She wanted to be Naruto's ideal woman, why couldn't the idiot see that?

Thinking that it would be better not to touch on the Hinata subject, Sasuke caved. "Alright, I'm sorry, I won't badmouth her anymore. She's your friend and you have the right to be angry. Can we make up now?"

The blond nodded, his anger evaporating just like that. "As long as you understand. Besides, Sasuke, even if what you're thinking is true, I don't have any feelings for her… so if she did try to confess, my heart is full."

Sasuke gave him a tender smile, actually he really did trust Naruto and deep down he knew he was overreacting and getting jealous over petty things, but it just showed how much Naruto meant to him. If he were to be snatched by anyone, Sasuke didn't think he'd be able to handle it. Hyuuga Hinata was a reasonable person, she liked Naruto but didn't try anything to get him; that should tell him something. Maybe she really was glad for him, Sasuke sighed and squeezed Naruto's tan hand.

"Yeah, I believe you, but promise me something, Naruto, if one day you think you want to break up with me, do it after I get sick of you."

Naruto grinned and squeezed back. "Uchiha, there's no way you're getting sick of me anytime soon. So breaking up is out of the question."

"That's true."

Before the moment went away, Naruto's eyes brightened and he pulled something from his pocket. Sasuke's attention was back to the road so he didn't notice his boyfriend's actions. Yet suddenly, he heard a clicking sound and looked to see Naruto holding his cell phone up. Black orbs momentarily went to the strap that was attached to his cell phone, a red pearl extended on its end. His eyes widened and confusion filled them.

"I had a professional fix it. Actually, the reason I went out with them tonight was because I wanted to fix it. Sakura-senpai knew this great shop, they could fix any broken gem. Apparently mending it wasn't that hard," Naruto explained quickly. "I know you said you don't want it and to throw it away, but, Sasuke, I couldn't do that! This little strap holds a precious memory to you. Your brother is someone important in your heart, you have cherished his gift for a long time, so I don't think it's alright to discard it in a moment of anger."

Abruptly, Sasuke pulled on the side of the road and pressed the hazard button. Naruto was ready for the lash out, but it never came. Gently, Sasuke retrieved his phone from his boyfriend's hands and inspected the pearl. Indeed, it was back to how it was. The cracks were still there but the surface was smooth, giving the illumination that the cracks were made within the pearl. A small smile spread on Sasuke's face.

Their eyes met and only one phrase was said.

"Thank you, Naruto."

Naruto grinned at his boyfriend and replied. "You're welcome~"

Before resuming his drive, the black haired male leaned and captured Naruto's lips in an intimate kiss. He tried to convey all the feelings in his heart with it. Naruto was always bringing him bits and pieces of happiness, he wished for their relationship to continue for as long as possible, he wanted to stay connected to Naruto forever. Closing his eyes, Sasuke made a little prayer to the heavens and he hoped it would be accepted.

The end~ So what do you think of the story? I enjoyed writing it very much! It was so cute and lovely~ 3 I love Hinata so I didn't want to tarnish her in the end lol, even though Sasuke was very jealous of her X3. Well then, to meet you in a new story, farewell. Don't forget to review~
