Ah, I've decided to stray away from my original plans, but it's really nothing major since I only have one chapter. I keep envisioning Naruto as a police officer/detective, so I'm officially changing that. There's one more thing that I want to mention. Sasuke is currently studying law. Hope you enjoy this really short chapter!

There were many things that Sasuke enjoyed, but picking her hammered boyfriend up from his workplace was not one of them. The raven-haired woman hung up the phone and angrily tossed it on the bed before slamming her law textbook shut. She removed her reading glasses and gently set them on the desk. While she may be mad, she wasn't looking to pay for another pair of outrageously priced frames. After slipping on a jacket and lacing up her boots, Sasuke double-checked her person for her keys.

The night air was a nice change from the stuffy atmosphere of her bedroom and suddenly Sasuke wasn't as angry. Naruto may be an idiot, but somehow, his actions always seem to inadvertently have a positive affect on her. As she got closer to the station, though, her anger returned full force. When she stopped in front of the doors, she could have sworn she could smell the alcohol through the glass.

Sasuke pushed open the doors and immediately covered her nose. "I'm going to kill that idiot," she muttered under her breath. The night shift officers behind the desk worriedly greeted her and asked how they could help. She didn't bother trying to conceal her discontent. "I'm here for Naruto."

The younger officer seemed to recover from Sasuke's attitude first because the words that left his mouth only made the law student angrier. "And who is asking?"

Sasuke marched forward and placed her hands on the high desk. "Listen, you two must be new, I'm his girlfriend. Just show me where he is and I'll take him home."

"I-I'm afraid w-we c-can't do that." The mousy, older officer interjected.

"This isn't the-" Sasuke began but was interrupted by the younger officer.

"Ma'am, it's against policy to let a non-family member take an inebriated officer off the premises."

"Interrupt me again, bastard, and see what happens," Sasuke growled out. "I have finals to study for. I quit my studying, which could possibly ruin my future, to pick up my drunk boyfriend. If you do not show me to him, I will find him and I will take him out of here myself. Do not test me."

Just as the mousy officer was about to give away, Naruto's whereabouts, Ino Yamanaka waltzed in.

"Hi, guys! Hey, Sasuke, here for Naruto?" the blonde greeted. "I'm Shikamaru's wife. I got a call that he was passed out drunk?"

The same officer that had tested Sasuke's patience stepped forward. "Right this way, ma'am," His response only managed to piss her off even more. No matter how much she wanted to march by the officer and drag Naruto out, she knew that she couldn't, so when the younger officer was out of earshot, Sasuke turned to the the one still behind the desk.

"Check his file. If I'm listed as one of his emergency contacts and prove it with my ID that should be good enough, right?" Sasuke tried negotiating.

"I don't know, you're still not family," the officer squeaked out.

"Naruto's only family is Jiraya, and if Naruto's drunk, so is he. I promise I'm not a criminal. I'm just a girlfriend who really wants her boyfriend back so she can return to studying."

The officer sighed and quickly ran through the officer database and everything was true to Sasuke's words. He returned the ID back to the young woman and revealed that Naruto was in the lounge down the hall. On her way back, Sasuke passed the officer leading Ino and a barely conscious Shikamaru back to the front. She none too gently grazed his shoulder as she walked by.

Much to Sasuke's disgust, the smell of alcohol grew even stronger. When she pushed the door open, she almost vomited. The entire day shift team was scattered all over the room and some even lying in puddles of alcohol from tipped over bottles. She spotted a shock of golden hair from underneath the blue of a police shirt. She navigated over to the body on the floor and plucked the shirt away and to her disappointment, but not surprise, Naruto lay there drenched in his own sweat and drool.

No amount of love could ever convince Sasuke to touch the man as he was (this was a lie because everyone knows that if it came down to it, she would help him no matter his filth), so she used the dirty, but not as filthy, shirt to dab away the sweat and drool.

"Come on, Naruto, time to go home," Sasuke announced with a heave. With great strength, she managed to lift the tall man to his feet, but his limp body ended up toppling in the direction of the pull and she lost her grip on his arm and he landed back on the floor. Now, Sasuke was by no means a weak woman. Despite her small and slim stature, she was a force to be reckoned with, but she hadn't eaten all day and she really needed some sleep. Against the wishes of her pride, Sasuke returned back to the front desk. She all but acknowledged the younger officer, and went straight for the one who helped her. She explained the situation and the officer accepted to help her and left the station in the care of the other.

The officer stuffed Naruto in the back of his squad car and Sasuke climbed in after him. Sometime throughout the car ride back to their apartment, Naruto started to come to, but he seemed to just as drunk. Not once did he notice that he was being supported by Sasuke. With a slurred booming voice, he proclaimed his love for this and that and essentially everything that had life.

"Please, sir, do not scream like that again!" the officer at the wheel whined.

"Kohaku! I haven't seen you in ages!" Naruto bellowed.

"I was at the station yesterday morning, sir. You relieved me, sir."

Naruto threw his body forward as he sang. "Oh, Kohaku! My wonderful junior! So full of life, so beautiful! But not as beautiful as my Sasuke!" Naruto's little song trailed off into a fit of giggles. Thankfully, Naruto was saved from embarrassing himself (and maybe even Sasuke) even further when Kohaku parked the car. After giving her thanks and reassuring Kohaku that she no longer needed help, Sasuke yanked Naruto from the back seat and proceeded to pull him up to their apartment.

Once inside the safety of their home, Sasuke kicked off her shoes and braced a still laughing Naruto on the wall before removing his shoes. They both stumbled through the living room before reaching their bedroom. With all the force she could muster, Sasuke pushed Naruto onto the bed. The man gave another giggle before rolling onto his back.

"I swear," Sasuke began while wiping the sweat off of her forehead. "the next time you get drunk, I'm leaving you at the station." She bent over and began to unbutton Naruto's shirt when he shot up, wrapped his arms around his chest, and knocked his head into her's. She reeled back with a hand on her head and a grimace on her face. "What the hell?"

"Don't touch me!" Naruto screamed.

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke demanded.

"I'm married! You can't touch me!"

"No, you're not, Naruto. I'm your girlfriend," Sasuke explained.

The blonde man fell back before wriggling around. He giggled and shrieked as if he was a baby watching paper get ripped up. "Sasuke! My love, my wife!" He kept repeating his words as he shifted his body around. "I'm gonna ask her to marry me..." His words grew softer as he drifted off to sleep.

Sasuke watched her boyfriend for a moment while her face burned with a flush. She knew he loved her, he told her every morning with a kiss on the nose. He showed how much he loved her during their special nights while he held her close. The love was there. She knew it and she knew he knew it. Her heart fluttered at the thought of calling Naruto her husband and she was a bit surprised at how willing and ready she was to say yes.

With her mind occupied, Sasuke resumed in taking off Naruto's uniform so he could sleep more comfortably. She climbed out of her clothes and slipped into one of his clean shirts before laying down on the blankets and snuggling up to his alcohol swathed body. She fell asleep with her hand wrapped around his.

Morning came in the form of a loud pained moan. Sasuke cracked her eyes open. Naruto was wrapped around her and their legs intertwined. He brought a hand up to his face and roughly rubbed it. He looked down after a moment and smiled his million watt smile.
"Good morning," Naruto said with a kiss.

Sasuke couldn't bring herself to be bothered by his alcoholic morning breath. "Yes," A confused look passed over his face. He had no idea what she was talking about. "Yes, I'll marry you."

Sasuke could see all of Naruto's thoughts pass over his face before it settled on a panicked one. She couldn't help the smile that spread across her lips. She freed her arms from his embrace and grabbed his face before kissing his dried, chapped lips.

"I love you," were the words unspoken.
