Beta: Ancestral Romance

It Wasn't Me it was the Voice

Bonus Chapter

"Sir, will you please take this?"

"No! What do I need a hat and scarf for? It isn't snowing..." Naruto continued to walk down the hallway, picking up his pace as he went. "I'll be late, Sasuke, Kiba and Shikamaru are taking me over to the next town to see the midnight screening of that new movie...what's it called?"

Sebastian resisted the urge to pull at his hair and sighed. "Is it Iron Man, Sir?"

"Yeah, think so-anyways don't wait up." He smiled over his shoulder and jogged down the stairs and out through the front door.

Sebastian sighed and rubbed his face, shoulders sagging. He knew that Naruto was in his own car at the moment, most likely speeding down the drive with Kurenai and Asuma hot on his heels swearing. Ever since he learned to drive and Kakashi bought him a small little black Audi S4, he's been racing all over the place making, Sebastian's blood pressure rise.

"Oh, stop worrying, Sebastian." He turned around to see Martha, one of the maids smiling up at him with a basket in her arms. "You know once he leaves this house, he's Mr. Asuma and Ms. Kurenai's responsibility. Not yours."

Martha was once a very beautiful young woman, of that he was sure. With her high cheekbones, slim frame and bright eyes, he was sure she had her fair share of suitors; but time did its job. Now her dark brown hair had streaks of grey, and wrinkles lined her eyes and mouth; her hands, still strong now were scarred from years of hard labor.

"I know." He smiled a sad smile down at her before glancing back at the stairs. "But I still worry about him." He shook his head then strolled back down the hall in the direction of Naruto's bedroom.

Martha nodded as she watched him go, a knowing smile glued to her face.

OOO

Naruto lied when he said he was going to meet up his friends, he just needed to get away from everyone and think. Everyone kept distracting him, especially Sebastian; with his impassive face but kind eyes, his strong hands but gentle touch. He tried so hard to be the perfect unfeeling, unemotional butler but every so often his mask would slip, revealing the emotions bubbling beneath.

He drove steadily down the empty road to the beach, glancing in the rear view mirror to see the all too familiar black SUV's headlights glaring at him.

The car was silent, only the hum of the engine and his harsh breathing broke the quiet. He should turn on the heater, if only to stop the windscreen from frosting but he was running low on gas.

"Kid, I don't know much about these automotive things but I don't think that glass is supposed to be so...foggy."

"It's not." He mumbled squinting through the growing foggy windshield to see the road. Blindly, he groped the passenger seat for the cloth and tried to wipe the windshield. He swore when it didn't help.

"Just turn on the fucking heat!"

Suddenly, the loud ring of his mobile phone blasted from his jacket pocket. He dangerously patted his chest down until he withdrew the screeching thing and answered it. "Hello?" He sniffed as a shiver wracked down his spine.

"Naruto." It was Kurenai, apparently Asuma was driving. "I know you don't have the heat on, turn it on. It will stop the glass from fogging."

"Nah, I'm good." He squinted, sniffing again.

"Naruto it's starting to snow-where are you going? Are you lost? You just missed the turn off for the-"

"The beach." He cut her off, flicking on the windshield wipers. "I'm going to the beach and you two are just going to leave me be to wallow in my misery." And then he hung up.

Kyuubi gave him all of twenty seconds before he started interrogating. "So tell me. Why the beach?"

"I need to think."

"About?"

"Sebastian."

"Thinking of firing him?"

Naruto shrugged and tried to wipe away the fog again. "Yeah sure."

Kyuubi reminded silent for a few minutes before he spoke again, this time with disgust tinged with disbelief. "No...no you're not thinking of firing him...No! You SICK, TWISTED LITTLE FUCKER!"

OOO

Bored, Sebastian wandered the first floor. He already cleaned and organized Naruto's room. It was weird seeing the house practically deserted. Only a few of the staff remained up; most likely on orders to wait for Naruto, Asuma and Kurenai before turning in. Finally his feet led him to the kitchen where he found the chef bustling about. "You alright there?" He asked casually, hands shoved in his pant pockets.

"Of course. Why do you ask?" The chef raised an eyebrow at him as he tossed a peeler atop the counter before strolling over to the refrigerator.

"No reason." Sebastian glanced at his pocket watch. "It's just, you know, almost one in the morning is all."

The chef chuckled and stopped rummaging through the fridge shelves to look at the butler. "Around here, work is never finished kiddo." He then resumed digging through the refrigerator.

"Really?"

"What, you have nothing to do?" He asked, nudging the refrigerator closed, his arms empty save for a lone lemon.

Shrugging, Sebastian slid onto one of the bar stools. "I did everything already. But yeah, why are you still up?"

At that, the chef laughed and picked up a knife. "Have to prep for breakfast. You are one efficient butler, aren't you? That blonde idiot doesn't even realize how lucky he is." He muttered and shook his head. "Where is he anyway? Shouldn't he be in bed?"

At that Sebastian nodded and frowned. "He went out"

"With his friends?"

He nodded sadly.

"Don't look so glum, we all know you're his favorite." He snorted. "Kid doesn't shut up about you when he sends you off."

That caught his attention. "Sorry?"

"You heard me. He'd send you off for that disgusting fast food, and then pester everyone's soul until you'd get back. Why'd you think Jeff, the damn gardener suddenly insists on getting whatever he sends you for?" He raised an eyebrow at him. "Certainly not because you're a staff favorite butler boy."

Before he could reply, his mobile phone went off. Casually he pulled it out of his pant pocket to check the message; his heart nearly leapt out of his chest when he saw the name blinking on the screen. It was from Naruto. Quickly he opened the message and read the text.

"Aw man, Sebastian you were right. It's fucking COLD out here!"

Amused, he chuckled and rolled his eyes.

"Naruto. Am I right?" The chef asked mildly, slicing the lemon.

Distracted, Sebastian only hummed and quickly texted back.

"Sir, please come home. You're only going to make yourself sick by staying out later."

Within seconds, he texted back. "But it's so nice out here!"

"...May I ask where, exactly you are?"

"Uh...by the beach."

"The beach! Sir, you are out there, in the middle of a snowstorm at the beach?!"

The chef frowned as he watched the butlers face; noting every expression that flitted through. "Uh oh. What did that boy do now?"

"Not AT the beach. BY it. Like, I'm in the car."

"Turn on the heat."

"Not enough gas."

"So you'd rather get sick?"

"No, if I had a choice, I'd rather be warm and healthy."

"That idiot." Sebastian muttered and ran a hand through his hair before quickly sending another text. "Come home or I'm calling Kurenai."

If it was one person he could count on to bring Naruto home without fail, it was Kurenai. They weren't friends or anything of the sort; but she would always obey orders. And where Naruto was concerned, he had more pull than anyone else. Of course, if she chose to ignore him, there wasn't anything he could do. She did realize that he, admittedly, cared for him. Really cared for him- and not just as a job either. While she was in it for the money, he genuinely cared for Naruto. Plus the majority of the time, he only asks her to get him home and she would always agree that Naruto home was the best place for him. There wasn't too much trouble he could find himself in there.

"So how much trouble is he in?" The chef asked calmly as he filled a pitcher with water.

Just then a text message came in.

"I'm on my way."

Sebastian suppressed a smile and shook his head. "None at all."

OOO

Muttering to himself, Sebastian lit the fireplace in Naruto's bedroom, hoping that the fire would warm up the room before he got home, and retrieved the extra blankets from the cupboard. As he dashed down the stairs on the way to the kitchen he nearly shoved Martha over the banister in his haste. "Sorry!" He yelped, helping her right her balance.

"What's the hurry?" She asked, righting her apron.

"Naruto, he's-well most definitely going to come back here sick." He picked up the pillows, still warm from the dryer. "Will you put these on his bed? I think it'll help warm him up a bit." He called over his shoulder, already hustling down the staircase.

"And you think running about the place will help him?!" Martha shouted, leaning over the banister.

"No! But I need to tell the chef to put the kettle on and make some soup!"

Martha chuckled to herself as she made her way to Naruto's bedroom. "That boy, he's too much." She mumbled to herself, sighing as she rubbed her eyes, her body crying out for rest. As soon as Naruto, Asuma and Kurenai came back and settled in she could turn in and, if she was lucky have a lay in.

OOO

Naruto stumbled through the front door, bits of snow falling out in clumps as he shook his head and stomped his feet. Beside him Asuma and Kurenai fumed as they simultaneously brushed off the snow and lectured him.

"You could have told us!"

"We had the car on with a full tank of gas!" Asuma swore, his hand wrapped around Naruto's bicep.

"We'd rather freeze than be with you two!"

"You could have died!" Kurenai resisted the urge to slap Naruto just as Kakashi came into the foyer; hands shoved into his pockets a confused look on his pale face.

"What's going on here?" He took his Naruto's near frozen body and the angry look on Asuma and Kurenai's face. "What happened?"

"Where's Se-Sebastian?" Naruto chattered, his lips numb from the cold.

"Right here, Sir." Sebastian appeared with a hot cup of tea in his hand. "Let's get you upstairs, I've already lit the fireplace- but I think a hot bath will do you some good." He wrapped Naruto's hand around the steaming mug then glanced at Kakashi who nodded.

"He lied, Sir." Asuma grumbled. "He wasn't meeting up his friends. He drove to the beach then just sat there for how long? Refused to move even an inch."

OOO

While Naruto drank the hot tea, Sebastian drew a hot bath. He let the water run and strolled out of the bathroom into the bedroom to take off his jacket and roll up the shirtsleeves. "Do you feel better?" He asked, laying his jacket over the back of a chair before setting his attention on Naruto.

"Yeah, thanks." He handed Sebastian the empty mug then grabbed a hold of his wrists. "Holy fuck, you're warm." He mumbled and pressed his face into his butler's forearms, seeking warmth.

Sebastian rolled his eyes and let a small smile tug at his face before he extracted himself and placed the mug on the table. "Come on Sir, best you get out of those wet clothes. The bath should be almost done."

Naruto groaned, but stood up and waited while Sebastian systematically removed his clothes, starting with his soaking socks and stopping at his cold boxers. "Off to the bathroom now." He stated calmly and motioned towards the steaming room.

He shuffled slowly to the bathroom; his body wracked with shivers every few steps until he was wrapped in the warm, steamy heat of the bathroom. "Give me a hand, will you?" Naruto mumbled tiredly after Sebastian lowered the water pressure to keep the tub warm. He tugged uselessly at the waistband of his boxers and looked sullenly at his butler.

"...Boy, you've taken off your own undergarments for-why the fuck are you asking him for help?" Kyuubi asked, fear edging into his voice.

All Sebastian did was huff, but obliged and helped him out of his boxers then offer a bracing arm as Naruto clumsily climbed into the hot water. More and more he noticed Naruto becoming dependent on him to help him with everything from dressing to advice. If he didn't know any better, he'd think Naruto was up to something.

Whilst Naruto relaxed into the water, Sebastian set about gathering the lufa and body wash.

"You really must be more careful, Sir." He sighed as he knelt beside the tub and balanced the items on the lip of the tub. "You could have seriously caught a cold."

"Aw looky, he's worried about us." Kyuubi laughed.

Naruto lulled his head to the side to stare at his butler, a lazy smile making it's way onto his face. "If I got sick, would you take care of me?" He asked quietly, drawing one hand up to capture some bubbles.

Naruto's sudden change in demeanor caught Kyuubi's attention. "What game are you playing kid?" He asked gruffly. "Is this another one of those plans that take time? Are you laying the groundwork for something?"

Sebastian frowned at the odd question but answered nevertheless. "Of course I would."

"Even if I was throwing up?"

"Even then."

"What if I threw up on you?"

"Then I'd change my shirt."

"And I'd knock you unconscious. I demand you take precaution to not empty your stomach contents."

A contented smile rested on Naruto's face as his eyes dropped close. "Do you hate me Sebastian?"

"Seriously. I can't figure out the point of what you're doing. What the fuck are you doing?"

"Of course not, Sir."

"Stop calling me 'Sir'." Naruto bristled slightly then settled back into the water. "And why don't you hate me?"

"Why would I hate you?"

"He should hate you. You put that poor fucker through hell."

"Because I'm difficult. And I see the way you look at me." His eyes slowly opened to look at his butler.

Sebastian swallowed thickly, hot panic pulsing through his body. "What way, Sir?"

"Yeah, what way?"

"Drop the 'Sir'." Naruto muttered and sank down further into the bath, letting the hot water and bubbles wash over him. "And can you get started? I want to get into bed soon as possible. I'm still cold." He mumbled and tried not to let the bubbles enter his mouth.

"...This wouldn't be because of earlier...would it?" Kyuubi asked wearily. "What I-you...You...fuck I can't believe this shit." He grumbled, anger, frustration and fear rising. "Where the hell do you get off even thinking of shit like that?! I raised you BETTER than THAT! Boy! I taught you everything you know and I'm sure as FUCK didn't teach you that SHIT!"

Naruto pointedly ignored Kyuubi's rant and instead focused on Sebastian. Usually he would grab the bath bowl, fill it with hot water and pour it over his head and start shampooing his hair. He was a very efficient butler in that sense; he didn't bat an eye at anything he had to do- just go about it and moved on. But not today. Today he moved slowly, working up the courage to wash Naruto's hair and body.

In the back of his mind, he knew that he had done it probably a thousand times and this time should be any different. But it was. Because almost every other time, Naruto would fight him; he would grumble and pout, swear and try and fire him. He was never pliable, he was never content to just sit there and let Sebastian do his job. And he never asked him to get started.

"Right." Sebastian cleared his throat. "I'll get started then."

Jerkily, he grabbed the bowl, dunked it in the still steaming water then gently poured it over Naruto's head, efficiently soaking his hair. Next, he grabbed the shampoo and set about washing Naruto's hair, taking care not to get any in his eyes.

After a few minutes of shampooing, rinsing and conditioning Sebastian found himself thinking that he wouldn't mind dealing with this version on Naruto more often. This version didn't fight him, or even argue; a gentle nudge of his hand and he would obey. It was nice for once to give him a bath and not end up soaking wet himself.

Then came use of the luffa. With a deep breath, Sebastian squeezed the gel onto the luffa and began to rub it along Naruto's arms; he worked his way up to the shoulders, over his neck then the span of his back before leaning back and motioning for Naruto to lean back so he could wash his front.

It was much easier than normal, almost too easy actually. Sebastian chanced a glance at Naruto's face as he reached over to unclog the drain and switch on the shower head to give him a complete rinse off. To his surprise Naruto looked completely relaxed, almost like he was enjoying it.

"Alright. Here is your towel, Sir." He stated and held open the large fluffy towel him to wrap himself in. "I will get your pajamas and bring them back." With that said he turned on his heel to fetch the clothes.

"What. The. Fuck. Was. That." Kyuubi asked quietly, his rage barely controlled. "If I didn't know better I would think...well I would think...fuck it! I don't know what to think!"

Naruto smiled at his reflection and started toweling off, the cold nipping at his skin. "Don't think about it, Kyuubi. This doesn't concern you."

"Of course it concerns me you dingbat! I am you!"

"No, you aren't." He whispered, glancing at the doorway to make sure he was still alone. "Just shut up, and leave me alone."

Before Kyuubi could retort back, Sebastian walked in, his arms laden with Naruto's pajamas. "Here you are Sir. Your warmest set." He placed the black silk matching top and bottom on the counter then turned to leave. "While you dress I will go add more wood to the fire and turn down your bed."

OOO

Soon enough, Naruto found himself wrapped in his warmest pajamas and tucked under a mound of blankets and surrounded by about a dozen pillows. "Sebastian?"

"Yes?" His butler strolled over after he drew the blinds closed, and turning off all of the lights. It was their ritual; he would make sure Naruto was comfortably in bed before turning down the room then retiring for the night.

"...Will you-I'm still cold." He motioned to the bed and lazily threw back one corner in an invitation for him to slip in. "You're warm, share your warmth."

"Where the hell is this COMING FROM?!" Kyuubi shouted and groaned. "Oh I think I'm going to be sick…"

"You haven't even given it a minute, Sir. Just relax." He checked his pocket watch. "It's already past two in the morning. Please, just try to go to sleep; I'm sure you're tired."

Naruto stared up at him with big puppy dog eyes and pouted. "I am tired. But I'm too cold to sleep."

Sebastian sighed but relented. "Budge over, Sir." He mumbled and pulled back the blankets.

"Don't call me 'Sir'." He mumbled but moved anyway, relinquishing half the bed for Sebastian to settle into.

Grunting, he kicked off his shoes then settled in under the blankets, his leg pressed up against Naruto's. "Is that better?"

Wordlessly, Naruto snuggled closer, his cold hands seeking the warmth of his own, as his face pressed against Sebastian's shoulder. Sebastian cringed as Naruto's cold hands sought out his but he remained still for a few seconds before wrapping one arm around Naruto's shoulders and drawing him closer.

"That's better." Naruto mumbled, sighing.

"No it isn't! I feel sick...would you mind if I emptied my stomach contents in your brain?"

Naruto scowled at Kyuubi's drama, but settled against Sebastian.

"...Alright asshole. I get it. Fine. If you're that fucking cold-I told you to turn on the damn heat in the car but did you listen? Noooo." Kyuubi sneered. "But that's as far as it goes. Warmth."

Together, Naruto and Sebastian laid in comfortable silence for a good half an hour before Sebastian worked up the courage to ask the one question nagging in the back of his mind. "Sir, why did you lie?" His voice, though low seemed loud in quiet of the early, quiet morning.

Naruto shifted and sighed. "Lie?"

"About where you were going."

"See? This is why you don't form relationships with the help. They think its okay to ask questions."

"Because I just needed time to myself. To think."

Sebastian didn't say anything for a few seconds; he just laid there and listened to the fire crackling and the howling wind. "Did you get the time to think?"

"Yeah."

"Do you feel better now that you lied, almost got sick, but achieved the time alone you wanted?"

Naruto didn't miss the disapproving undertone and chuckled."Yeah."

Sebastian let out a slow breath and shifted slightly. "Will this be a regular occurrence?"

"Nope. Figured out what I needed to."

"No you didn't." Kyuubi gasped. "You told me you were still confused! Did you LIE to me?!"

"We'll that's good." He sighed.

"You want to know what it was I needed to think about?"

"Sir, you do-"

"I'll tell you later." Naruto patted his chest with the palm of his hand then snuggled further down into Sebastian's side, using his chest as a pillow.

OOO

It could have been mere hours or days when Sebastian finally woke from himself comforts of sleep. The bedroom was significantly cooler than before, the fire had died down since he never tended to it and judging from the now dying embers, it would take a lot more work than tossing on another log to get it roaring again.

Clumsily, he patted himself for his pocket watch and blinked at its face, squinting to see the time. It read ten past six in the morning. "It's Christmas Eve." He mumbled into the dim room, not realizing Naruto was also awake.

"Merry Christmas Eve." He whispered, startling Sebastian.

"Oh Si-"

"Don't call me 'Sir'." He cut him off with sour grumble, rolling over to face the wall.

After a few seconds, he felt the bed shift as Sebastian sat up; a small frown on his face as he slowly realized that he spent the night with Naruto, in his bed. He shook his head and sighed, feeling the cold nip at his skin. His body wanted nothing more than to snuggle back down into the warm sheets and wrap himself around Naruto, but his mind knew better. He should get up, tend to the fire and go to his own bed in his own room.

With a heavy sigh, he sat up further and moved to throw the blankets off when suddenly Naruto's hand grabbed the back if his shirt and started pulling him back. "S-I mean Naruto?" He corrected himself and turned to face him.

"Boy, what are you doing at this hour?" Kyuubi asked, his voice heavy with sleep.

Naruto rolled back over and continued to pull his butler back into the pillows, a odd look on his sleepy face. Eventually, Sebastian got the message and settled back against the pile of pillows facing Naruto.

Naruto hesitated for a second, before ducking his head and pressing his lips to Sebastian's. It wasn't a mind blowing kiss, in fact Kyuubi shouting in his head was more mind-blowing than the actual kiss but it was a kiss none the less.

"HOLY FUCKCOW! STOP! STOP IT NOW! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! STOP! STAHPPPPP! THIS IS NOT OKAY! NOTOKAY! YOU'RE KISSING HIM! HIM! A GUY! FFFFFUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK!"

All too soon, he pulled away; wide awake, heart pounding loud in his ears along with Kyuubi's violent swearing. But before he could open his eyes, Sebastian was kissing him. A simple pressure of lips on lips- but it was reciprocation.

"AND NOW THE BUTLER'S DOING IT! AW FUCK IT ALL! FUCK YOU! FUCK THE BUTLER! FUCK EVERYTHING!"

Tentatively, Sebastian skimmed his fingers alongside Naruto's jaw.

"NOW HE'S FUCKING STROKING US!"

Ignoring Kyuubi, was quite easy when Sebastian's hand held his face and his thumb was right at the side of his jaw and the once awkward kisses started turning into something more definitive; Naruto ran his tongue along Sebastian's lower lip, asking for entrance.

"YOU LICKED HIM! YOU! LICKED! HIM!"

Instinctively, Sebastian opened his mouth and allowed Naruto in while his hand started trailing down the side of his neck. Naruto moaned quietly as he ran his hands up Sebastian's back, feeling the ridges and dips but hating the fabric blocking him from reaching his skin. Annoyance flashed through him and he fisted one hand in Sebastian's hair, yanking his head away to stare into his eyes.

"FINALLY! YOU'RE STOPPING THIS MADNESS!"

Sebastian gulped down some much needed air into his deprived lungs and stilled his wandering hand on the hem of Naruto's sweater. Slowly, he shifted his weight onto his other arm, wondering when exactly he came to be lying halfway atop Naruto. As the seconds ticked on, realization of what happened and what he did began to sink in and a hot blush worked its way onto his cheeks.

"Don't look away." Naruto mumbled, pressing a quick kiss to his lips.

"But I-"

"I said 'don't look away,'" Naruto released his grip in Sebastian's hair to hold the sides of his face, forcing him to look at Naruto. "I'm not crazy, right?" He whispered, so close that his lips brushed Sebastian's.

"Kid stop. Stop this INSANITY! You are NOT GAY! Release your butler, NOW!" Kyuubi ranted, his nerves shot through. If he wasn't so terrified of touching Sebastian, he would force his way into control. As it were, he did not want to assume control with Naruto's body half pinned to the bed by his own butler both needy after a few kisses and well on the way to a groping session.

Nope. He wanted none of that.

He'd much rather stay in background shouting obscenities in the hope that Naruto would either snap, or pass out.

"What-what are you asking?" Sebastian breathed out, swallowing thickly.

"That you want me-that you like me. A hell of a lot more than you should." A smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth as he watched Sebastian's cheeks turn even redder.

" WHAT IS THIS?! WHERE THE FUCK IS IT COMING FROM?!"

Sebastian shut his eyes and bit his slightly swollen lip. "No. No I don't this is wrong and we-"

Suddenly, Naruto reached down between them and cupped Sebastian's half hard cock through his trousers, making him moan at the unexpected touch. "Stop." He breathed out; eyes shut tightly, mouth slightly open.

"Yes STOP! I can never unseen that look from his face! Oh my poor brain!"

Naruto took advantage of him and kissed him deeply, tongue plundering Sebastian's mouth as he vainly tried to control himself. But between Naruto's kisses and his curious hand he didn't stand a chance and soon he was kissing back with equal fervor.

"Why must you torture me so?!" Kyuubi continued to wail dramatically.

But Naruto was lost in a sea of pleasure, too far gone with the sensation of Sebastian's tongue, his biting kisses and wandering, sure hands to even register Kyuubi's voice in his head.

Suddenly,the door burst open, startling them both. They jerked away from each other to see none other than Kakashi standing in the doorway.

Kakashi stared at them.

Then blinked.

Then rubbed his eyes and looked again, double checking what he was seeing.

"...Am I really seeing this?" He asked quietly, looking from Naruto lying under Sebastian, only one arm visible wrapped around his butlers neck to Sebastian's red face and hand obviously pillowing Naruto's head.

"Oh thank you merciful one!" Kyuubi yelped relieved. "Thank you so much!"

Neither moved.

Quietly, Kakashi turned and shut the door. "Are you two really in bed together?" He asked, voice barely controlled rage.

"I'm so sorry, Sir." Sebastian began to babble and tried to extract his self from Naruto's grip. "I shouldn't have-I crossed a line, I'll go pack my bags and-"

"You aren't going anywhere." Naruto cut him off with a forceful kiss. "I didn't fire you."

"But I should." Kakashi walked in and stopped at the foot of the bed. He eyed the two of them with an unreadable expression then sighed and massaged his forehead. "I want and explanation. Now."

"It's this idiot's fault! Naruto! He did it but take the butler! THE BUTLER!"

Naruto scowled, but remained as he was with one hand teasing Sebastian's now flaccid cock and the other anchored firmly behind his neck, stopping him from going anywhere. "Why?" He asked calmly.

"Why? WHY? Because you are a COMPLETE AND UTTER LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!"

Kakashi stared at him, gaze level. "Because I am in charge of you and everyone in this house." He spoke, voice calm. "And I woke this morning to a series of concerns revolving around Naruto and Sebastian. Apparently Sebastian never made it to his room last night." He glanced at the butler to see his face grow even redder and his eyes suddenly found the blankets very interesting. "So naturally the first person I will check on is Naruto. And this is what I find?"

Naruto sighed. "We didn't do anything but kiss."

"I don't want know the details!"

"How the fuck do you think I feel?! I was THERE!"

"Okay- actually we did a bit more than kiss." Naruto admitted.

"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!" Kakashi shouted and ran his hands through his hair. Apparently finding his charge in bed with the butler was his breaking point.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU LEAVE FOR ME?!" Kyuubi sobbed.

Then Sebastian chose to jump in, despite Naruto's hot fingers still glued to his slacks. "I should have stopped it Sir, but-"

"Quiet! I don't-I didn't even know you were gay!" Kakashi stared quizzically at Sebastian who stared back at him in wide eyed panic.

"I'm not gay!"

"From what I UNFORTUNATELY saw butler boy you ARE gay!"

"I just found you in bed with Naruto!"

Sebastian glanced nervously at the shut door. "Not so loud! The staff will talk!" He hissed.

"I WILL TALK! I CAN'T EVER UNKNOW WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE!"

"I'm sure they're going to be talking anyways!" Kakashi groaned and shut his eyes, taking deep breaths to calm his racing nerves. ""I really have no idea what to do in this situation." He scrubbed his face with his hands. "Jiraiya never said what to do if I found you in bed with your butler!"

"KNOCK US ALL UNCONSCIOUS! INDUCE MEMORY LOSS!"

Both Naruto and Sebastian chose to remain silent and watched as Kakashi calmed himself enough to think. He took deep bracing breaths started to pace. "You," He pointed at Naruto uncomfortably. "Grounded. For lying about the movie thing." He waved his hands jerkily. "And this!"

"You can't ground me for being gay!"

"Grounded! You should be-be-be I don't know but it should be humiliating and painful!"

"I can ground you for being...disrespectful and making me think Sebastian had gone missing." He pointed at the butler. "And you. I'm writing you up."

"YES! Get rid of him! It's ALL HIS FAULT!"

"What? No!" Naruto finally withdrew his hands and sat up, pushing Sebastian away. He could deal with being grounded but he couldn't let Kakashi write up Sebastian for something like this. It wasn't even his idea, Naruto practically accosted him. "Come on Uncle-okay I get it. I did wrong but you can't take it out on him." He glanced at Sebastian to see him still reeling in shock. "Just...I mean- I'm eighteen, I can do what I want, even if you don't like it." He stared pleadingly up at Kakashi. "And...It's Christmas Eve."

"FUCK Christmas!"

Kakashi remained staring at Naruto for a few seconds before sighing heavily, his shoulders sagging. As much as it hated to admit it, Naruto had a point- plus he really couldn't punish them both for something like this-that was Jiraiya's department. "Both of you clean up and come to my bedroom." He rubbed his eyes and turned. "We'll...discuss this further over breakfast."

"But the staff…" Sebastian mumbled.

"I don't give a fuck about your image right now!" Kakashi barked, stalking towards the door. "You should have thought of that before you-you did that!" He waved absently at them before leaving, slamming the door behind him.

"PREACH IT UNCLE!" Kyuubi shouted gleefully. "Now THAT man has it right! You should listen to him!"

Everything was still for a few seconds until Naruto released a breath and chuckled, rolling over to trap Sebastian onto the bed with his weight. "Well that could have gone worse." He mumbled, burying his face in his butlers rumpled shirt.

"GODDAMNIT YOU HORNY TEENAGE MENACE!"

Sebastian however, wasn't as amused and instead bowed his head in shame. "Sir, please." He sighed and tried to gently push Naruto away.

"FINALLY! Listen to your butler!"

But Naruto didn't budge and instead wrapped his arms around his waist. "Relax, Sebastian." He mumbled and sighed. "What's he going to do?"

"I'm sure it would be the SAME FUCKING THING I WANT TO DO TO YOU! KNOCK SOME FUCKING SENSE INTO THAT incredibly THICK skull of yours!" Kyuubi whimpered in pain. "Why? What ME? What have I done to deserve this?!"

"Fire me?" Sebastian offered wearily, face going red as all the implications came crashing down on him. "Write me up? Crap-I'll never get a job again! Who would want a butler that sleeps with their-"

"Exactly...who? What sane person wants to deal with you two?" Kyuubi mumbled wearily.

Naruto cut him off with an awkward kiss. The angle was all wrong, he was still halfway lying in Sebastian's lap, one arm fisted in his hair; the other bearing his weight on Sebastian's did get his point across pretty well, despite being awkward.

"I feel like I should give up at this point." Kyuubi mused, then took a deep breath. "BUT I WON'T- BECAUSE FUCK YOU!"

"Despite what you seem to think," Naruto tugged gently on his lower lip before kissing him again. "You work for me, not Kakashi. He can't just dismiss you." A sneaky smile tugged at his lips when Sebastian's arms wrapped around him, pulling him closer to his chest and he recuperated the kiss.

"Wish I could dismiss him." Kyuubi sniffed. "Stop this nonsense! Stop it NOW! I'm sick and TIRED of watching you-you...GROPE your damn BUTLER! Who, by the way in case you got confused, is a MAN!"

"Mhm." Sebastian breathed, dropping open mouthed, wet kisses along Naruto's jaw. "But I don't want to push him." He mumbled against the hollow of Naruto's neck. With difficulty, he pulled himself away; his face red and his breathing ragged but there was a light in his eyes that hadn't been there before.

Tired of Kyuubi shouting in his head, he slowly extracted himself off of Sebastian and stood up, stretching. "I suppose you're right." He grinned over his shoulder as he walked to the bathroom.

"FUCK NO! I PROMISE YOU BOY YOU EVEN THINK OF DOING THAT SHIT- I WILL TAKE OVER MYSELF AND KILL US BOTH!"

"I'll just take a shower and see you downstairs?" Naruto asked, one eyebrow rose.

"Oh merciful one...thank you…" Kyuubi sighed heavily, truly relieved that he wouldn't have to bear any more pain. For now.

Sebastian nodded a faint smile still on his lips as he watched Naruto walk into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.

OOO

"Naruto, are you listening to me?" Kakashi asked from his place opposite the table. He, Naruto and Sebastian all sat around the breakfast table in Kakashi's guest room. After all this time Naruto still hadn't been in here and found himself duly impressed; bedroom was not the correct word to describe Kakashi's dwelling. He was given what had to be half of the floor, with a large bedroom, living room, kitchenette, bath and toilet and even a small study room. They were seated near the balcony in the living room.

"Yes, Uncle." He drawled, shoving a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

Kakashi stared at him for a few seconds before sighing again. This had to be the tenth time in under five minutes. "Naruto, please listen to me. I don't care if you're gay, bisexual or omnisexual." Though he spoke, he visibly cringed at his own words. "What I care about is how you are going about living your life."

"...As much as I love this man for stopping you earlier, I really don't want to hear his lecture."

"Please, Uncle. We really don't need to do this now." Naruto groaned, eyes finding Sebastian seated a chair's space away from him.

Sebastian sat there poking at his lukewarm porridge, and staring into his cold cup of tea as if it held all of the universe's answers. He looked for the entire world, like a man having his last meal before his hanging.

"I think you need to think long and hard about what you are doing, Naruto." Kakashi leveled his gaze at him. "Now while I don't care whom you choose to...court." He cleared his throat uncomfortably. "Sebastian is your butler, this can't just be some for teenage experiment on your part-let me finish." He held up a hand to silence Naruto's inevitable rant. "You are Jiraiya's responsibility and if he wishes to handle this differently when he returns, he can. However, I am in charge of you right now and I won't have you running around his house harassing the help."

No one said anything.

Naruto barely even breathed.

"He thinks you are going to run around trying to get into every man's pants now. Way to go kid you went from stupid kid to sexual deviant in less than a day. That takes skill."

"I'm not going to-to do whatever it is you think I'm going to do!" Naruto yelped his face red as he jumped up and stalked to the door. "I'm not some stupid teenage boy that can't control his dick!" He shouted and slammed the door behind him.

Kakashi heaved a heavy sigh and covered his face with his hands for a few seconds before regaining his strength and bracing his elbows on the table; chin propped up on the palm of his hand. "He's young and naive, Sebastian."

The butler included his head and met his gaze. "I know."

"Are you going to talk to him?"

"Yes. And..." He trailed off as he slowly stood up, eyes trained on the tablecloth.

"I'm not saying you two can't have a more...private relationship." Kakashi stared at a point over the butlers shoulder. "However, I will not have him thinking he can take advantage of the staff because they work for him. Do you understand?"

He understood perfectly. If he and Naruto were to have something it must be serious. Otherwise he might get the idea that he was entitled to anyone in his staff. At that, he shuddered. The thought of Naruto turning into some sort of monstrous man-chaser made his stomach lurch.

"I understand perfectly, Sir." He bowed then followed Naruto's lead.

OOO

He found Naruto pacing the length of his room with a scowl on his face, but he relaxed the second Sebastian walked in. That of course didn't stop his inevitable rant.

"Can you believe him?! Saying that I'll-I won't! You know that don't you?" He turned to face Sebastian.

"Can you sound anymore desperate?!"

Sebastian took a deep breath and sat down on one of the chairs and rubbed his face. "Naruto, we need to talk."

"Oh...no not you too...I-he won't fire you I swear I won't let-"

"Stop talking! Just stop, because the words you chose to say are full of crap!"

"This is more than just my job, Naruto." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "This is my life here."

"He gets it! He understands that this has CONSEQUENCES!"

Naruto stared at him with a frown. "What are you saying?"

"That you can't make any ducking DECISIONS!"

"I'm saying that...I...I don't even know if I'm gay!" He ran both hands through his hair and groaned out loud, eyes squeezed shut, the weight of the entire situation settling on his shoulders. "Let's just forget it ever happened okay?" He finally whispered.

Things were quiet for all of two seconds.

"No!" Naruto bit out. "Okay so I never came out...officially."

"You will not come out to ANYONE and showcase this embarrassment!"

He slumped down into the chair opposite Sebastian. "But I'll do it if you want me to...and you?" He quirked one corner of his mouth up in a smile. "I think that straight ship has sailed and left you stranded."

"Naruto-"

"And it's not coming back into harbor."

"Naruto-"

"But that's okay because I'll take care of you. Good care of you."

Sebastian couldn't help the smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Say I admit it. That I am...a little bit gay for you."

"Boy, you are a LOT gay for him." He muttered darkly.

"Where does that leave us?" He continued on, a casual eyebrow raised. Though he displayed an air of coolness, on the inside he was a mess; his heart pounded so loud it echoed in his ears, his mind raced with thoughts of rejection.

"With me asking you on a date."

OOO

True to his word, Naruto took Sebastian on a date that very evening. Much to Kakashi's surprise, he took Sebastian to a private restaurant, which made everyone slightly uncomfortable including Asuma and Kurenai who had more than a few questions, then they came back and slouched in front of the television. By that time most of the staff had already turned in, leaving them to themselves.

"I was silent all throughout that stupid, completely ridiculous so called date of yours-now it's time for you and I to have a nice LONG chat about YOU being GAY!"

"We need some ground rules for this to work." Sebastian murmured into Naruto's soft blonde hair.

"Hm?"

"No...bothering me while I'm working. Or in front of the staff."

"That's won't be a problem butler boy, so say GOODNIGHT!"

Naruto opened one eye to peer up at him. "Who said you'll be working anymore?" He mumbled into Sebastian's chest.

"Ugh...I don't know how much more of this I can take…"

"Oh, so now that you've got me you're just going to hire another butler? Is that the plan?" He half joked, but in the back of his mind he was genuinely worried that it would happen. That Naruto would only keep him around for his amusement then dismiss him whenever he got bored.

"Don't be stupid, Sebastian." He sighed and snuggled further into his butlers embrace. "You're the only butler I want."

Kyuubi let out a defeated, strangled cry before finally giving up. "That's it...I can't take anymore...you're gay. He's gay. Who else is gay?" He mumbled dejectedly.

Absently, Sebastian's hand began to rub circles onto Naruto's back, a genuine smile on his face.

"I have an image to maintain."

"Mhm."

"And I know you Naruto, please respect my boundaries."

"It'd be nice if you'd respect my boundaries…"

"Which are?"

"If I say no, I mean it."

He remained silent for a few seconds before turning his head so his cheek lay flat against Sebastian's chest.

"Safe word, you slow fool. That butler boyfriend of yours wants a damn safe word."

"So you want a safe word?"

"If that's what you want to call it."

"...How about truffle cakes?"

"How about you two take this little thing to a room?" Kakashi grumbled from the doorway, a bucket of popcorn in his arms.

OOO
