Saturday morning: The Twins Birthday
Ugh Naruto groaned as he rolled over in bed, his body hurt like hell. Well...that's what he got for throwing himself into his work and playing with the kids. But he couldn't believe that he just had that dreadful dream again. He remembered that day as if it was yesterday.
Walking into the Uchiha's house he raced up the steps to Sasuke's room, busting open the door he shouted excitedly, "Sasuke! I great news...we'll I don't know if it's that great or not but..." He trailed off as he took in all the luggage laying on the floor and on the bed. Taken back by Sasuke's stoic face and nonchalance...what was going on?
"Hey...hmmm wh-" Getting cut off he looked at Sasuke with wide eyes as the Uchiha finally looked at him.
"I'm leaving to take over the Uchiha corp abroad." He stated tersely as he resumed packing, not continuing, just leaving it at that.
"But you're only in high school, you haven't even graduated yet..." Naruto said unsure of himself. Just a few seconds ago he was happy about to share wonderful news he thought but now he wasn't so sure.
"I only stayed in that school to be with you, Naruto. I was born to take over Uchiha corps and it just so happened that the time is now."
"But..."
"No buts, I'm ready for this...I'm leaving tonight."
"When are you coming back?" Naruto asked rubbing his stomach unconsciously, what was going to happen to him? Their children?
"I don't know but we can still..." He let his voice trail off not even looking at Naruto. He just kept putting more clothes in his suitcase as if this...their relationship was nothing, he hated it and that look on Sasuke's face.
Naruto couldn't believe his eyes and ears...he just knew that Sasuke wasn't suggesting that they stay together or have him wait for the inconsiderate jerk. When he didn't even know when he was coming back or if he was even coming back in the first place.
Fuck, just yesterday they were laughing in this very room, living the lives of teenagers but in one day everything went to hell. He found out that he was pregnant that morning...he didn't think that it was bad but...very sudden and the fact that he was young played a major part. But he thought that he would have Sasuke to help him but as he could see now he was going to be by himself. That was fine he was strong and he would have the twins with him...so he wouldn't be alone not by a long shot. The bastard could do whatever he wanted. He will not tell him that he was pregnant. He'd let him go and do the duties that being a Uchiha called for.
It just took one night for his world to come undone...but it will be alright with or without the help of Sasuke, he was smart and he already got into a good college...but could he go to school full-time and take care of two babies? He didn't think so but he had time to think before they arrived...he had time.
Sighing at what felt like a lifetime of silence, he looked at Sasuke and mustered up a small smile, he was doing the right thing...letting him go, to live a normal life. They probably both needed this but it still hurts that Sasuke was choosing the company over him, he felt betrayed as he recalled not too long ago Sasuke was saying that they would get married and be a family. He guessed that was all talk and Sasuke just played him for the gullible fool that he was.
"Sasuke...I think that we should break up..."
Snapping out of that unpleasant memory, he rubbed a hand down his face and popped open his eyes as he realized that today was the big day, the twins were turning five. It was not a day to be wallowing in misery. Getting up he looked at the clock on his bedside table and smiled it was seven and about time for them to get up. Pushing his worries and feeling to the back of his mind he went to see his boys.
Dashing down the hall, Naruto burst open the door to their room. Smiling widely as he saw they were still asleep and grinned when he thought of how to wake them up. Sucking in a breath Naruto began to shout out his special birthday anthem he made for them.
"Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!" He kept saying over and over until the two boys woke up and quickly jumped out of bed smiling, running over to him.
"Who's birthday is it today?"
"Ours!" They shouted back in unison, laughing.
"And how old are you guys today?" Asked Naruto who was now dancing around the room with the boys.
"Five!"
"Are you five?" Naruto pointed to Yuki.
"Yes!" Yuki laughed.
"Are you five?" He then asked Natsu.
"Yup!" Natsu shouted loudly.
"And together how old are you?" Naruto shouted hitting the radio play button and music filled the room making them dance harder.
"We are..." Natsu stopped and started counting his finger while Yuki shouted, "We're ten together!"
"Yeah ten!" Natsu laughed running after Yuki.
"Oh no, ten! That makes me feel so old!" Naruto said dramatically making the kids shout that he wasn't and jump around. "But I feel soooo old, you guys are ten now, too old for me to give you presents and cake and parties..."
"What! We aren't mom!" Natsu shouted jumping on Naruto, who was laughing at the outraged cry that Natsu was giving.
"Mom we're only five! You do this every year." Yuki said following suit with Natsu.
"But you know you guys are too big for sweets and presents, you are big boys now." Naruto said laughing when they started to tickle him.
"We aren't, I want cake and presents!" Yuki pouted playfully.
"And our party tonight!" Not forgetting that important part of today Natsu shouted.
"Okay, okay I get it...ha-ha how about I give you a small present right now for all your troubles?" Naruto smiled getting up off the floor.
"Yeah!" The boys shouted and Naruto walked up to both boys and gave them a kiss on the forehead and a hug.
"There you go!" He said stepping back and started cracking up when he saw their faces. They weren't impressed at all.
"Hey, what was that...no fair mom, you give us a hug and a kiss everyday." Natsu pouted and stuck out his tongue when Naruto kept laughing.
But he was surprised when Yuki came up to him and hugged him. Stretching his arms out he reached up to Naruto and Naruto obliged and picked the boy up. "Thanks mom...for everything." Yuki said blushing and gave Naruto a kiss on his forehead too and hugged him tight. Naruto was so shocked but this was Yuki, he shocked him everyday with something new that he learned. Hugging him back, willing himself not to cry.
Feeling a tug on his pajama bottoms Naruto looked down and looked at a blushing Natsu who reached his arms out too. Bending down with Yuki still in his arms he picked Natsu up and received the same kiss and hug from him as well.
Giving in, he let himself cry and hugged both boys harder, "I love you guys so much. You know that right?" Naruto asked sitting down in front of the window with them in his lap.
"Yes...I love you too." Yuki said whipping Naruto's tears away.
"Me too...I love you that is..." Natsu said ducking his head, placing his little hand on Naruto's face. "Don't cry...are you sad?"
"Not at all, these are tears of joy! I get to see my babies grow bigger everyday, what more can I ask for?" Naruto said laughing. "Okay...we have to get you guys ready for your dad." Naruto said his mood dipping a little at the mention of Sasuke. They all were still on shaky ground after Naruto's melt down but they all still communicated and acted like adults for the boys sake.
"I forgots, we're going to hang out with dad until the party...right." Natsu asked looking up at Naruto with his so trusting blue eyes.
"Yup, kiddo you're absolutely right. I have to deck the house out with all the scary Halloween stuff, so he's taking you and Yuki out." Naruto smiled looking at their bright faces glow with just the mention of the party.
"Yes!" Natsu said hopping down and started dancing to the music...so hyper.
"Okay, lets pick out your birthday outfits. I think we...are going to go with the outfits your grandma's brought for you two the other day." Naruto said putting Yuki down and walked over to the closet, he never got the chance to put the clothes away so they were still in the bags in the closet.
Looking back at the boys who were busy dancing to some Halloween music and smiled, god he loved them so much. Turning back to his task, he remember that today was supposed to be nice but a little windy. Hmmm what should he put on them? Rummaging through the bag Naruto had to smirk, even though they were on his shit list at the moment he had to give them credit, they did have taste. Should he have them matching today? They had a couple of the same things but in different colors...yeah he'd do that...even though they hated it.
Pulling out two pairs of dark blue jeans with faded spots on them...awww so cute Naruto thought smiling. Next came a black and charcoal grey blazers, and two graphic t-shirts. One dark red with black writing on it and the other blue with yellow writing on it. Last but not least two thin flowy black vest. Oh yes they did a hell of a job shopping for them...he wondered what they got Shina?
"Since its your birthdays what do you want for breakfast? Its Saturday so it's technically pancake day but I'll let you choose, so what shall it be?" Naruto asked laying clothes on each of their beds...hmmm Yuki will get the red shirt and grey blazer, and Natsu will get the black blazer and blue shirt. Yeah that's good, going to their dresser's he pulled out the necessary undergarments and undershirt.
"Hmmm can we think about it more." Natsu asked dragging Yuki to the other side of the room as if what they were discussing was top-secret. Laughing at them Naruto headed for the door and told them that he would be right back.
Walking to his room, he opened his closet door and grabbed a gift bag from the top. He wanted to give the boys this present early. Smiling he headed back out of the room, he couldn't wait to see the looks on their face...ugh he hoped they liked it though.
"Hey mom, we decided that we want waffles...with fruit, well blueberries for me and eggs and bacon. But we want to know if we can have pancake day tomorrow though." Yuki said relaying the plan they made while he was away.
"Since it's your birthday weekend, why not." Walking further into the room he sat at the window again, pulling the little boxes out of the small gift bag. Which got the twins attention immediately.
"What's that?" Natsu said moving closer with Yuki right on his trail.
"An early gift for you and Yuki." Naruto said placing two jewelry boxes in both of their small palms. Sitting down next to Naruto they opened up the box and gasped as they looked at the content in the first box.
Natsu pulled out a necklace that had a stylized sun in the middle with two little leaves on each side of it. Yuki took out a necklace that had a stylized snowflake in the middle and two small clouds on each side as well.
They both hopped up and jumped saying that they loved it, which made Naruto breathe easier. For a minute there he thought that they didn't like it. Smiling he ruffled their already sleep tousled hair. Naruto watched as they went for the other box and pulled out a matching bracelet to their necklaces.
Naruto frowned when he watched them pull it out, maybe it was him but he felt a little uneasy as he looked at the jewelry. He had been getting prank phone calls for a couple of days now and was worried for the boys. When he brought the jewelry, the place said that they could put a small tracking device in it, he jumped at it because for the life of him he felt as if he was being followed but every time he looked there was no one there. Shaking off the unease he smiled as he watched them try to put the jewelry on.
"Do you need any help?"
"Yes, please." Yuki said stepping in front of Naruto who made quick work at unscrewing the little piece that kept both sides together and placed the necklace around Yuki's neck, smiling to himself when it fit perfectly. He went on to do the bracelet and turned to Natsu to do all his stuff. Feeling a weight lift off his shoulders Naruto laughed as his boys modeled for him.
"Now let's get that breakfast started." Naruto said as they all went down stairs.
...
10:00 am
"Sasuke...can you have them back by four? The party starts at five and I want to make sure that the costumes and everything is right." Naruto said not wanting to look the Uchiha in the eyes but didn't want to seem too cowardly.
"That's fine, and I'm warning you now that my mom, dad, and Itachi who's bringing Dei are all coming. I hope you don't mind." Sasuke said not sure of how to act. He understood where Naruto was coming from on Monday and knew that he was in the wrong for thinking that they could just pick up where they left off. He was a fool but he hoped that maybe they could, but that hope was dashed on monday after he and everyone else was cursed out. Sasuke didn't even have a chance to talk to Naruto properly since then, which really pissed him off.
"That's fine, Itachi did call me the other day...so I knew about him and I figured that your parents were going to come anyway." Naruto said sitting down on the living room couch. He and Itachi had a long conversation that day but only broached the subject of Sasuke a bit before they went on to talk about Natsu and Yuki. But Itachi did leave him with some parting words that had him thinking about his relationship with Sasuke.
They were waiting for the boys to come down, they were running late with all the breakfast making and bath...and dancing but hey it's their birthday so what did anyone expect? Sighing he watched Sasuke from the corner of his eye. The guy stayed standing and that was making Naruto uneasy for some reason...what if he's the one who was making the calls? Nah it can't be, because Natsu answered one time and he was really spooked afterwards saying that the person said that they were going to get him. Sasuke wouldn't do that, he might be a prick but he didn't enjoy scaring people for no reason and especially not his own kids.
"Why don't you sit down...this could take some time, knowing Natsu he could be running around naked. Making Yuki force him to put on his clothes." Chuckling to himself he went on, "I don't know why he doesn't like to put clothes on."
"You didn't when we were younger either. As I recall you did run outside naked once before your mom could catch you." Sasuke said smirking when Naruto turned a deep shade of red.
"I did not!" He huffed, folding his leg. "Huh? I did no such thing, maybe you need to get your head checked...it's not good to be imagining things like that."
"Is that so..."
"Yes."
Fidgeting because of the now awkward silence, Naruto thought that he should be sure and make sure that Sasuke wasn't the one making prank calls, "Ummm Sasuke have you been calling here lately...I mean the house phone?" He asked pulling his sweater tighter around him, he still had on his pj's not having the time to get dressed.
Sasuke stared at Naruto for a minute sensing that something was amiss. Was someone harassing Naruto and he thought that it was him, he didn't know how he should feel about that. Why would he call Naruto if he wasn't going to have a conversation on the damn phone! He's been trying to get Naruto to talk to him since Monday but the guy wasn't answering his calls and he only called him on his cell. So his name or number came up.
"No..."Sasuke hissed watching Naruto release a long breath. Was he relieved? That just pissed him off all the more, "I wouldn't do that Naruto, I can't believe you. I've tried to get a hold of you to talk, for more than a couple of minutes but you always managed to get me off the phone. And I always call your cell! So think before you go accusing me."
"I didn't accuse you. I just wanted to make sure...seeing as though I haven't seen you in what...almost five years, well you can't blame me for not being a hundred percent certain" Naruto hissed back basking in joy when he saw Sasuke flinch. It served him right, who did he think he was...bastard...but quickly afterwards he felt ashamed for throwing that in his face.
Running a hand over his face Sasuke groaned. It seemed as if that one mistake was going to keep on biting him in the ass. Straightening up when he heard little feet running down the steps, he didn't want them to see him and Naruto at odds.
"Hey dad!" Natsu shouted running to Sasuke as Yuki walked in and went to Naruto, who fixed his jacket and hair a bit.
"Don't you guys look handsome today." Sasuke said straightening Natsu's jacket.
"Ha-ha...thanks." They both said blushing a bit, they were just too cute Naruto thought.
"Happy Birthday!" Sasuke said hugging Natsu and looked at Yuki who was pushed his way by Naruto, and gave him a hug when he reached him. "How old are you guys?" Sasuke said laughing when they looked at him as if he was crazy.
Naruto laughed, "Just humor him guys."
"We are five." They said and then Naruto chimed in shouting, "How old are you together?"
"Ten!" They shouted jumping around and laughing. Sasuke looked at them and smiled, they were something else.
"Oh what cool looking necklaces you guys have." Sasuke said blowing an appreciative whistle, looking at them closely.
"Yeah! Mom just gave it to us this mornin!" Natsu chimed pointing out little details on his necklace.
"Morningggg...and yeah isn't it cool. I love my snowflake!" Yuki said stressing the g for Natsu.
"Yeah it is cool. They are both really cool and detailed, it fit you guys perfectly." Ruffling their hair Sasuke looked at Naruto and smiled.
"Hey, do you have a present for us?" Natsu asked getting slapped on the back of the head by Yuki. "What?!" Yuki just shook his head, Natsu had no problems asking people for stuff...like what if he had nothing for them?
"Sorry kiddo you won't be getting it until tonight." Sasuke said laughing when Natsu started pouting, mumbling under his breath.
"Yay, now give me kisses and hugs before I kick you all out." Naruto said getting a couple of groans and a hey from Natsu. Laughing at the pouting faces, they made their way to the door.
"Be safe!" Naruto shouted as the boys dashed outside. Turning to Sasuke who was still standing there with car seats in each hand.
"Are you okay with being here by yourself?" He asked worriedly thinking about the calls. "Is someone going to be here with you?"
Naruto just looked at him until he started to squirm around nervously, "I'll be fine, Shikamaru and Haku are coming to help me decorate...so there's no need to worry." Naruto said looking him in the eyes, smiling at the concerned man...Dammit Naruto don't fall for his charms.
"But keep an eye on my kids alright..."
"Yeah, I'll keep an eye on our kids. So don't worry, I'll have them back at four." With that Sasuke put the seats in the car with the boys and they left. Turning around Naruto sighed, he hoped they'll have fun.
Walking to the closet he started pulling bag after bag of party stuff out and went to work...but paused when his phone started to ring. Walking over to the table to pick up the cordless and sucked in his breath in when he heard the voice say that he was going to get him back...that it was only a matter of time, and hung up.
"What the hell..." Naruto whispered get him back what did he do? Noticing a car driving slow past his house as he looked out the window, and watched as the car speed up once it passed. Really worried now, he pulled out his cell and called Shikamaru to get his lazy ass over there now.
...
"Where do you guys want to go?" Sasuke asked looking in his rear view mirror at the twins.
"Can we go to Monkey Joes?!" Natsu shouted excitedly, they haven't been there since the summer time. "It's so much fun dad! They have slides and jumps and just everything! And they have pizza!"
"Yeah, it's fun!" Yuki piped in and Sasuke nodded his head. He thought that he saw that place near the mall the other day.
"Then that's where we're going." Sasuke said smiling when they started talking excitedly about the place. From what he gathered everything was inflatable and safe for them to do anything they wanted without getting hurt.
A little while later Sasuke pulled up in front of a building with Monkey Joes written in bright green and red letters. Parking he unbuckled himself and got out of the car going to the back to let out Natsu and Yuki.
"Are you ready guys?" Sasuke asked a little excited, this was the first time that the kids were going to be alone with him and he wanted them to like their time together. Closing the door behind the boys Sasuke grabbed their hands and they made their way to the entrance of the kids place. As they walked in he could already see a bunch of kids already there even though it was only ten minutes to eleven.
Paying the fee for them to enter, Sasuke watched as the boys ran and started to jump on things. Walking in he looked around at the massive play area and smiled at the delighted faces of his boys.
"Come on dad!" Yuki shouted jumping around.
"Hurry up! I want us all to go on the slides together!" Natsu shouted running to a huge green slide, waving them to hurry up. Sighing Sasuke made his way there with Yuki next to him.
"Okay on the count of three." Sasuke said holding Yuki and Natsu in his arms, "One... two... three... ahhh" They all yelled as they slid down the slide, laughing at the end.
"Again, again!" Natsu and Yuki said running back. Sasuke couldn't do anything but comply.
After the tenth slide Sasuke was tired and getting hungry. He decided to grab a table with Natsu and Yuki.
"Are you guys hungry?" Sasuke asked taking off his jacket and moved to do the same with the boys. "Yes." They both exclaimed.
Looking at the menu on the table, Sasuke went over it with the boys. They decided to get a box pepperoni pizza and wing bites. They both wanted an Icee while Sasuke opted for a hot coffee.
"Okay while I wait for the food you guys can go play and just come back when you get hungry...or hungrier." Sasuke laughed when they jumped up and went to play.
Finally getting his coffee Sasuke pondered what Naruto said earlier. Who could be calling his house, he doubted that Naruto had any enemies...so who exactly could it be? But he soon let his mind wonder to monday's event, he was such a fool. He should never had called Kushina about Naruto...if he didn't then Naruto and him might be together now or...not. Ugh what was he going to do but he knew that he had to do something. He couldn't leave things the way they were, he just couldn't. Now that he had Naruto in his life again he wanted them to be together, as a family with their kids.
God why was he such a fucking idiot...he should have stayed instead of leaving Naruto. If he had he wouldn't have missed out on Yuki and Natsu lives...their births, fuck he should have been there and not out trying to prove himself as an Uchiha. He should have listened to Itachi when he told him that choosing the Uchiha's name would be the worst decision he would make in his life and now he could see that.
Recalling that day made him cringe, Naruto was so happy when he came to him but left quietly, as if he didn't want to be seen or heard. That day he had been frank with Naruto trying to distance himself but that backfired when Naruto said that they should break up instead of try to work it out...long distantly. But he really couldn't blame him, if it wasn't for his fathers bad health he probably would still be overseas. Fuck, he could kill Naruto for not telling him about the twins. He had a right to know and Naruto took that away from him and the option to choose. He was a major ass that day, being clipped and somewhat nasty but that still didn't give him the right to withhold something this important.
Ugh...why was his life like this? He thought that he was doing something good, something that would finally get him recognition in the family. Maybe he should have done what Itachi did, the guy still worked at the Uchiha corp here but he would just never be allowed to run it, to be the Chairman of the Board – presiding officer. Which was what Itachi wanted...being a CEO wasn't bad in the least, it was like a level down from the head. Even though their father didn't agree to him being with Deidara, didn't mean that he was going to make his son's life hard. Not when he worked so hard to get where he's at today or back then...whatever.
Running his fingers through his hair, he knew that he screwed up big time.
Looking up when he saw movement to his right, he watched as the waiter's made their way to him with all their food and drinks. Smiling he muttered a thank you and looked around for the boys. Spotting them, he relaxed, he'd better keep an eye on them. Seeing Sasuke looking at them they excused themselves from the small group of kids and made their way back to the table.
"Having fun?" Opening the box of pizza Sasuke placed a slice on each of their plates with a couple of wing bites.
"Yeah...we's made a bunch of friends already." Natsu told him taking a big bite out of his pizza.
Shaking his head Yuki took a bite as well and smiled when Sasuke ruffled both of their hair.
"That's good, I'm glad you're having fun."
"Thanks for bringing us." Yuki the polite one said taking a sip from his Icee.
"No problem, anytime you guys want to hang out just let me know." Grabbing a couple of slices for himself Sasuke began eating and wondered if he should call Naruto to check in. He was concerned, who knows what kind of psycho was after him.
"Hey do you guys want to talk to mommy?"
...
Jumping a little when his cell ringed, Naruto picked it up and sighed in relief when he saw Sasuke's name as the caller.
"Hello?" He said trying to even out his breathing as he glanced at Shika and Haku working on hanging up the Birthday banner, "What up? Is something wrong?"
"No, no we just wanted to check in and see if everything was alright? Is it, you seem a bit..."
"Everything's fine. Shika and Haku are here working with me...nothings wrong...on this end." Looking up he saw Haku frowning at him and turned his back to them, the nosy bastard. He thought that it was probably that bitch of a fiancé Sasuke had. Haku wanted him to ask Sasuke about her but he didn't want to..but ugh if it kept up he would be forced to.
"How's my boys?" He asked trying for a cheerful voice but thought that he overshot it just a little. "Are they having fun...I'm sure they are."
"Yeah..." Sasuke said not missing Naruto's hesitation and forced cheerfulness. "We're at Monkey Joe's and they seem to be enjoying themselves so far."
"Oh Monkey Joe's is their favorite, I know for a fact that they are having fun." Naruto said laughing, they loved that damn place so much that now Naruto could barely step foot in it because of the many times they had begged to go...and Naruto being weak with them always went and just hearing the music now gave him a headache.
Laughing as well Sasuke was enjoying the sound of Naruto's laughter and just having this long of a conversation with him. Looking at Yuki who now stood in front of him waiting to talk to Naruto. "Naruto, Yuki want to talk to you...here you go." He said handing Yuki the phone.
"Hey mom...how's everything going?" Yuki said just wanting to hear Naruto's voice, in truth he was a mama's boy and loved being with his mom.
"Everything's fine here Yuki, just getting everything ready for tonight. How are you? Do you not feel well?" Naruto asked worried, sitting down on the couch. "Do you want to come home?"
"No...I'm fine and I'm having fun. I just...wanted to talk to you." He said blushing when he noticed his dad looking at him. Getting the picture Sasuke turned away and gave Yuki some privacy.
"I want to talk to you too, and I'm happy that you're having fun. Do you have something to tell me?" Naruto asked, sighing when Yuki got quiet. He was such a shy boy who only got vocal when he was angry or really happy.
"I love you..." He whispered, looking around trying to make sure that no one heard him but realized that his dad did when he saw him smile. Groaning in embarrassment he listened to what Naruto was saying on the phone.
"I love you too sweetie. I'm sending you an air hug and kiss right now, do you feel it?"
"Hahaha mom I feel it!" Yuki said laughing with Naruto.
"Hey what's so funny, Yuki? I want to know?" Natsu said chowing down on his third slice of pizza.
"Tell Natsu that I'm sending him an air hug and kiss too." Naruto said over the phone smiling when he heard Natsu laughing.
"He said he feel it too!"
"Do you feel better?" Naruto asked knowing that it had to be a reason for him to just come out and say that he loved him.
"Yes..."
"Okay...now put your father back on for me."
"Okay." Yuki said as he handed the phone back to Sasuke.
"Hey what's up?" Sasuke asked smiling at Yuki and Natsu. Shocked by Yuki the quiet one snatching some wing bites from Natsu's plate, laughing when his brother started yelling at him.
"Nothing, I just wanted to remind you to have them back here at four. It's already after one." Naruto said and gasped when the house phone started to ring.
"Is everything alright?' Sasuke asked picking up on Naruto's distress even over the phone.
"Aah...yeah, see you at four." Naruto hung up before Sasuke could ask any further questions.
Naruto watched as Shikamaru answered the phone and sighed when he turned to me and smiled, "Its your mother."
Sighing Naruto waved his hands, trying to say telepathically to Shikamaru to tell her that he was busy but the bastard wouldn't. Getting up off the couch Naruto hissed at him and snatched the phone away.
"Hello..."
"Naruto, I just wanted to know if you had everything ready for tonight...do you want me to pick up the birthday cakes?" Kushina asked trying to lessen the burden of all the things that he had to do today.
"Actually that would be nice...do you know the baker that I went to?" Naruto asked his mother, he avoided her just like Sasuke if he could but right now she was a lifesaver. They were already behind.
"Oh yeah, of course that's why I asked, plus I know that you already have a lot on your plate right now. This is the least I can do, and Naruto I'm sor-" She was saying but was cut off by Naruto.
"Mom...stop, not now. And thank you for picking up the twins cakes, oh yeah there are also cupcakes and cookies as well...thanks for doing this, I have to go now, bye-bye." Naruto hung up not waiting for her to say anything. Sighing he turned to his friends and clucked his tongue as he looked at the last bag of decorations they had left.
Pushing his sleeves up he got to work decorating the living and dining room tables with spider web table cloths, candy, little monster toys, rubber bugs, and jack o'lanterns.
Time flew by as they worked and worked until they heard the doorbell ring . Pouring the last bag of candy in the huge cauldron bowl, Naruto made his way to the door and was nearly knocked down when his twins rushed in with cotton candy in hand. Laughing at the enthusiastic screams on how the house looked, Naruto moved out the way and let Sasuke in.
"Wow mom, this place is awesome!" Natsu yelled.
"Ohhh look at the smoke!" Yuki said jumping up and down with Natsu.
"The place does look amazing." Sasuke said standing next to Naruto smiling.
"Thanks, but I can't take all the credit, my gremlins helped out a lot." Naruto said laughing when a piece of candy came flying at his head.
"Hey! Who are you calling a gremlin, you pixie...tinker bell said she wants her glitter back." Shikamaru said.
"What! There's no glitter in here...and why do I have to be something so feminine?" Naruto pouted rubbing the side of his head where the candy struck him. The bastard was always saying that he looked like a chick.
"Because you look like a chick."
"Argh you jerk, I look very manly!" Screamed Naruto as he chased after Shika with his little body guards following.
After getting his revenge with the help of his kids, Naruto laid on the floor tired. Shit his back was hurting from all the bending. Sighing he got up and looked around, they actually did a pretty good job. Heading for the stairs for a much-needed shower but stopped on the first step when there was a knock on the door.
Going to the door he looked in the peep-hole and spotted his parents. Opening the door, he was about to say hi when two small bodies pushed him out the way.
"Nana!"
"Pop pop!" The boys shouted.
"Let them in Yuki, Natsu, unless you want them to drop all your goodies on the ground?" Naruto said holding the door open.
"No!"
"Then I suggest you guys move your butts."
"Ha-ha they are very eager." Minato said messing up the boy's hair.
"Oh they have on the outfits we brought!" Kushina chimed happily looking at Naruto then back to the twins.
"Yeah, I thought you'd like that." Naruto said closing the door in back of them.
"Oh this place looks amazing Naruto!" His parents gushed in awe. "Thanks but I couldn't have done it alone, I had help from Shika and Haku. And we can put the cakes and stuff in the kitchen." Naruto said leading them into the Kitchen, and helped place everything on the counter.
"We'll just leave it here for now," He said turning to the door. "I'm going to go and get cleaned up and put their costumes on."
"I can do that," Sasuke said all eyes on him. "For you..."
"Thanks." Naruto said heading out the kitchen. "I left their costumes on their beds."

XxshashukexX- I'm not offended but with the speed of the story is because I didn't want to drag it out...I, myself hate stories that drag. So I didn't want to do that but I also want to have conflict in the beginning so if you all didn't like him jumping into the sack with Sasuke so fast but hey, I wanted them to get a little frisky and cause some problems. And plus Naruto at the moment is fickle, he doesn't know what to do. He's only been with Sasuke so he doesn't have any experience with relationships and how to ask but he'll get the hang of it. Especially with him opening up to Sasuke and getting everything off his chest...in a mature way. But I think that I'm going to hold off on them getting together for a couple more chapters...or not, I don't know yet.
BcozI'mNaughty- No they aren't separating, and Naruto isn't going to run away but they are going to be cooling their jets for a minute...hopefully, who knows...I don't lol
