Month 7
"Naruto stop it! Come out!"
Naruto screamed as he lunged a pillow at his door. It had been about a week since the blond had his fight with Sasuke. Iruka was teriffied when Naruto came home his face holding nothing but a murderous look and tears tracks all over his face. It has hard to get the story out of the blond but eventually Iruka knew all that could be told and led Narut to his room. That had been his biggest mistake since he never saw the blond again. Iruka cursed himself as he remembered Naruto had a bathroom and his own mni kitchen in his room built when Iruka was tired of him stealing food in the middle of the night. He refused to go to school and did nothing but cry in his room let out few loud screams and curses. Sometimes Iruka could even hear thumps and he knew Naruto was throwing everything around and most likely turning his room upside down.
"Naruto!"
Another, harder object crashed against the door and Iruka guessed it was the blond's alarm clock. Now he'd have to get yet another one. Naruto was taking all of this pretty hard. He never replied to Sasuke's calls or texts. He almost threw his phone into the wall until Iruka quickly distracted him by saying that if he crushed it Sakura or Gaara couldn't call. It was even worse when the raven decided to visit. Naruto lunged himself at the door, banging on it with anything he could get his hands on, and sobbed uncontrolably screaming at the top of hislungs "Bastard! You fucking bastard! I told you not to come near me you bastard! I told you not to come near me!" Then he would sink to the floor and continue sobbing bastard bastard bastard over and over again. After that Sasuke never visited again.
"Naruto please come out."
The sobs slowly died down into small hiccups when Iruka used the softest voice he could muster. This was going on way too long. Naruto needed to come out that room. It was unhealthy and Iruka was scared. Naruto was getting bigger and bigger and...and he didn't want his only son suffering by himself.
"Naruto please. Please come out. Sasuke isn't around. He's gone away. He won't call. He won't text. Kakashi's not here either. Naruto please." Iruka begged. There was silence on the other side of the door before the brunette heard the squeaking of a bed. Suddenly Naruto's door cracked open slightly and Iruka saw a face full of misery. The elder grabbed the blond's hand before pulling him into a hug letting him silently wet his new shirt Kakashi bought him yesterday.
"Naruto you can't continue this."
"I hate him!" Said boy screamed gripping Iruka's shirt and sobbing pitifully. Iruka sighed and his arms tightened around his son.
"You can't say that. You don't hate him Naruto you just-"
"He disowned me." Naruto interupted. "He disowned me and my babies. He doesn't want us..."
"But he's trying his best to get you back."
"Who's side are you on?!" Iruka slightly retracted at the sharp reply. Who's side? Where did that-?
"Naruto...what are you saying?" Naruto looked up angrily and Iruka could have sworn he saw red in the blond's eyes.
"What am I saying? What am I saying?! You know damn well what I'm saying!! That bastard...disowned me!" The blond choked fat tears running down his face. "He told me face to face he didn't want me. He told me face to face he didn't want these babies. He got me into the fucking hellhole I'm in now and dug his own damn way out!! He put me through absolute shit and you have the nerve to try and stand up for him?!"
"But Naruto, he wants you ba-"
"I DON'T WANT HIM! I DON'T WANT HIM! I DON'T WANT HIM! I DON'T WANT HIM! I don't want him around me! I don't want him to call me, to text me, to visit me, I don't want him AT ALL! He's nothing but a backstabbing bastard that made my whole entire life miserable! I don't care if he wants me back! I don't want him! I don't wanna see his face! I don't want to hear his voice! I just want him DEAD!!" Cerulean eyes grew wide as Naruto clutched his stomach with both hands and doubled over in pain. Iruka quickly caught the blond before he could fall and lowered them both to the floor.
"Naruto? Naruto what's wrong?! Naruto!" Nothing came out but choked sobs as the blond clenched his eyes tight his face laced with pain. Iruka looked around frantically. Was the blond going through early labor. Oh no, no no this couldn't happen. This could not happen! He had no clue what to do. He needed help. Serious help!
Iruka quickly jumped up and raced to the phone before punching numbers and running back to the sobbing blond on the floor. After a couple of rings a irritated voice picked up groggily.
"...Hello?"
"Kakashi- san!"
"Iruka?" Crashes were heard and Iruka guessed Kakashi was trying to straighten up. But Iruka didn't have time to flirt!
"This is so unexpected. If I had known you were gonna call I would have-"
"Kakashi-san I need your help." Kakashi slowly calmed down and sat quietly on the phone. Iruka never sounded as serious as he did right now. That must have meant something bad was happening. As if on cue, a pained scream sounded through the phone making Kakashi jump up from where he was sitting.
"Iruka! Are you okay?!" The silver haired teacher nearly shouted making Sasuke race downstairs to see what was the problem.
"Iruka-"
"Is Sasuke there?" Kakashi looked toward the stairs where the brunette was staring at him with concerned eyes.
"Yeah he's right here. Iruka what's wrong?"
"It's Naruto. I...I don't know what's wrong with him. I think he may be going into early labor. Kakashi I need you to drive us to Tsunade."
"I'll be right there."
"Oh and Kakahi-san?" Kakashi pulled the phone back to his ear.
"Yeah?"
"Don't tell Sasuke." Kakashi looked at the teen before sighing.
"Yeah." Said man replied before hanging up and gabbing his keys. Sasuke finally walked all the way to the bottom of the stairs watching his father figure get ready to leave to somewhere...but where.
"Kakashi what's wrong?" The brunette asked concerned. Kakashi just smiled and ruffled Sasuke's hair.
"Everything's fine. Iruka's just feeling a little sick and wants me to take him to Tsunade. Watch the house for me I'm taking your car." That was the last thing said before Kakashi pulled out the driveway in a black mercedes leaving the owner to wonder if everything was really alright.
"Naruto don't be nervous."
Naruto shivered slightly as Gaara placed a hand on his shoulder. They were backstage in the auditorium looking at the crowd behind the curtains. It had been a week and a half since the 'early labor' attack he had. When he finally got to Tsunade she ran him quickly into the emergency room and tried to figure out the problem. Finally after hearing the whole story the busty blond diagnosed it was all just an anxiety attack. Turns out those things can actually hear you in there even though their buried in water. So the babies acted pretty violently to Naruto's little outburst about wanting Sasuke dead.
"I'm not nervous I'm just...tired."
The blond stepped from foot to foot trying to test his weight. It was getting pretty hard to stand up now or days. Actually to Naruto it felt like he had more than two babies in his tummy, but since his body wasn't made to carry any kids at all he guessed that was only natural .
"Well we're going on in a few minutes so pull yourself together."
Naruto scowled slightly at his red-headed best friend. After everything that had happened in the past three weeks Naruto decided he was going to enlist in the talent show just to piss off that bastard of a loser. But now he was silently wondering if that was a good idea. Well Sasuke was kind of right. With two babies in his stomach Naruto was going to have difficulty playing the guitar. Hell he was going to have difficulty holding it. But that wasn't going to get him down. He prepared a special song for that teme. A song the raven didn't perfect.
Loud applause stripped the thoughts from Naruto's mind. He grabbed his guitar as Gaara grabbed two stools. Suddenly the curtains flipped open to see two girls and three guys come through looking smugly at Gaara and hatefully at Naruto. The two returned the glares before awaiting their introduction.
"And now last and hopefully not least, performing their new song, The Moldy Peaches!" Naruto and Gaara took a quick glance at each other before nodding and walking out of the curtains. The mummur that grew among the crowd quickly dissappeared and Naruto saw Sasuke staring at him with shocked eyes, Karin sitting beside him under his arm. The blond smirked as he set up the mics and took his place on his stool.
"Um...Hi. My name is Naruto Uzumaki and this is my friend Gaara Suna. We're not the full Moldy Peaches but we only needed two members for this particular...thing." The crowd was still silent and Naruto let out a nervous laugh. "Um...well...the song we will be performing is called Anyone Else But You written by yours truly." Another nod between the two teens were shared before they both began strumming their instruments.
Sasuke's eyes furrowed as he reached into his bag ignoring the frown sent by his date beside him. The raven didn't recall writing or editing a song Anyone Else But You. He flipped through his lyrics book before glancing up at the stage. Had Naruto written a song without him knowing. His question was answered when they blond began to sing.
"You're a part time lover and a full time friend.
The monkey on your back is the lastest trend.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
Everyone stared on quietly as the blond sang his verse. No one knew he could sound so good. Sasuke stared in a different wonder. Was this song about him?
"I'll kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train.
I'll kiss you all starry-eyed, my body swinging from side to side.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
The crowd started to mummur amongst each other. The red-head sounded really good as well. Maybe those two weren't bad after all.
"Here is the church and here is the steeple.
We sure are cute for two ugly people.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
Clapping could be heard and Sasuke looked around. People were liking the song. They were actually liking the song.
"The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me.
So why can't, you, forgive me.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
"I will find my nitch in your car.
With my MP3, DVD, rumble packed guitar.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
"Du du du du du du du du du du du
Du du du du du du du du du du du
Du du du du du du du du du du du du."
Naruto smiled at Gaara who smiled slightly back. The crowd was going wild for them. A psychopathic outcast and a freak of nature. The crowd loved them.
"Up up down down left right left right B A start.
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
"You are always trying to keep it real.
I'm in love with how you feel.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
"We both have shiny happy fits of rage.
You want more fans, I want more stage.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
"Don Quixote was a steel driving man.
My name is Adam, I'm your biggest fan.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
"Squinched up your face and did a dance.
Shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else,
But you."
As Naruto hit the highest key he could reach the crowd went into a frenzy some even giving a standing ovation. Some clapped, some stomped, most screamed their lungs out.
"Du du du du du du du du du du du
Du du du du du du du du du du du
Du du du du du du du du du du du du
But you."
The whole entire auditorium stood up clapping as loud as they could letting out whistles, shouts, screams, anything to show how much they liked the performance. Gaara quickly stood up running over to Naruto so he could help the blond up. Then they both took a bow and turned to leave. The auditorium was filled with the screams of 'Encore! Encore! Encore!' but of course the talent show did have a time limit.
After everything was put up all the contestants lined up on the stage, Naruto on a stool.
"The judges have made their decision. Third prize goes to, Caroline with her amazing balancing act!" Applause was heard as the host reached for another envelope.
"Second prize goes to Tanya and Joseph for their marvelous tango duet." Another round of applause was heard as two people reached out to recieve their trophies.
"And first prize goes to..." A drumroll came out of nowhere as the whole auditorium grew silent. Naruto and Gaara rolled their eyes as the host dramatically opened the envelope slowly.
"Bad Luck! With their new song, Don't Cry On Me Honey!" The five people from before looked at each other in surprise before rushing up to get their trophy. Loud curses and boo's were hard as the lead singer grabbed the microphone.
"I would like to thank the judges, and myself, and my group, and myself, and all of you, and...myself. Thank you all so much..and me!" She screamed before walking off. The student body all stood up to leave since the talent show was over everyone wondering why The Moldy Peaches didn't win. Everyone loved them! Whispers and a few shouts went out and the judges climbed the stage.
"I know everyone is wondering why The Moldy Peaches did not win." Everyone shouted out their protest before the judges quieted everybody down again.
"The Moldy Peaches were disqualified because the entry sheet clearly states no one can sit during the performance unless mandatory. Being pregnant," The judge spat out sending at hateful, judging look Naruto's way. "Does not count." Soon tomatoes came flying out of nowhere and the judges went running off the stage but not without a couple of stains that were going to be some bitches to get out. Gaara turned to Naruto slowly as everyone finally turned to go.
"Do you feel better now?" The psychopath asked following his blond friend out the door.
"Yeah actually I do. Thanks for doing this with me Gaara. I really needed it."
"Can you talk to him face to face now?"
"...no. I probably never will. I still don't like him. But I don't want him to die. Neither do the babies." Naruto replied putting a hand on his stomach. "But I feel better letting out those cooped up emotions. And now, I feel like I'm going to be treated much differently. Me and you both." Gaara nodded before he spotted a movement in the corner of his eye. He grabbed Naruto's arm to get his attention.
"Lets sneak out the back way." He said before pulling his friend with him, leading him away from the Sasuke who was searching for him.
Naruto smiled as he waddled lazily to the kitchen. Life was actually taking a good turn for the blond. He stopped biting people's head off for one. Two Iruka keeps him at home from now on because he doesn't like Naruto walking around school all day ("It's bad for your back and you might get hit in the stomach or something!") Not only that, he got more and more candy and food now that he did basically nothing but sit in bed all day. Well except that time he begged Iruka to let him go grocery shopping with him just to make sure his dad got some peach/apple apple juice. Sadly he didn't and Naruto had a sore back all day.
Humming a soft tune the blond made his way to the kitchen and opened his refridgerator. Blue eyes widened in shock and tears came into his eyes as he hurriedly waddled to the front door, grabbed his bag, and ran out of the house slamming the door behind him. Iruka ran out of his room in alarm and looked around the den. Did Naruto just leave? The brunette frantically searched the whole house. Naruto just left! He just left! Thousands of thoughts flashed through Iruka's head and he was about to after his son until a hand stopped him and pulled him into a soft embrace.
"Kakashi I don't have time for cuddling. Naruto's going towards god knows where for who knows what reason and I need to bring him back!" He said struggling in his lover's embrace. Kakashi smiled and lowered his head to Iruka's ear.
"Calm down. I know exactly where Naruto is going." Iruka's eyes widened and he turned around in Kakashi's ams.
"Really?! Where? How do you know?" He asked like an eager child. Kakashi chuckled and softly kissed the brunette's lips.
"Because the refidgerator is stacked top to bottom in nothing but peach/apple apple juice.
A rapid knocking woke Sasuke up from his nap on the couch and he grumbled angrily as he slowly made his way to the door. It wasn't early in the morning, or late at night, but Kakashi had gone over Iruka's house for some...'bonding' and Sasuke wanted to take advantage of the silence. Yet he couldn't do that with someone was repeatedly knocking loudly on his door!
Sasuke growled his eyes clenched tight in irritaion as he threw the door open with a half yelled 'WHAT?!' But the reaction he got wasn't what he expecd for not even two seconds later, a fist made friends with his face sending him tumbling backwards on the ground. The raven grabbed his hopefully not bleeding nose before shooting a glare at the person who dared to touch him. Onyx met cerulean and Sasuke slowly stood up as Naruto entered his house slamming the door behind him. They both stood there in silence each having seperate thoughts in their mind. Sasuke wondering why the blond was at his house and Naruto wondering exactly how this was going to work.
But who ever thinks things through?
"Was it you who filled my refridgerator with peach/apple apple juice?" The blond finally asked after more few agonizing moments of silence. Sasuke looked taken back at the question before he slowly regained his composure back.
"Naruto what are you-"
"Was it?!" The sharp reply made the raven flinch a little if only in the slightest. He didn't know what the blond was so anrgy about.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Naruto closed his eyes and clenched his fist as if trying his hardest not to hit Sasuke. Finally after a few seconds of deep breathing the blond opened his eyes again and glared at the raven.
"Let me see your wallet." Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed.
"Naruto I don't really think-"
"Give. Me. The. Damn. Wallet." Sasuke stared at the furious teen before reaching into his back pocket and handing him his black and red wallet. Naruto snatched it from his best friends hands and opened it surprised no flies came out it was so empty. He stole a glance at the raven who looked to the floor as if caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Naruto's breathing became irregular. Tears pricked in his eyes as he threw the wallet on the ground and slapped Sasuke across the face.
The impact came unexpected on Sasuke's end and he cupped his red cheek staring at Naruto in disbelief. The blond...just smacked him. All because his wallet was empty. Sure Sasuke deserved it kind of but...but...
Sasuke's thoughts were cut off by the sound of Naruto's voice.
"First you screw me over and get me pregnant. Then you disown me and my children. And finally you sneak into my house and leave my refridgerator stocked with juice and a note that says 'I'm sorry please forgive me'?!" Sasuke saw the tears running down Naruto's face and he instantly felt guilty. He wanted to each out and comfort the blond but...what exactly was his crime?
"Naruto I-" Sasuke was cut off with another slap in the face.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear your excuses! I don't want to hear anything you have to say!" The blond screamed making Sasuke shut his mouth completely. However it was pretty hard to do when Naruto walked up to him and embraced him around the waist, his overly large stomach pressing against Sasuke flat, built one.
"Naruto...' The raven whispered slowly wrapping his arms around his best friend and pulling him as close as they could get. Naruto felt his tears soak Sasuke shirt as he buried his face deeper.
"What the hell do you want from me?" The blond whispered back clutching Sasuke's back in a death grip. Sasuke sood like that a little longer wondering what would happen next before he placed a light kiss at the top of the blond mass below him.
"Naruto I'm so sorry. I didn't mean anything I said. I was just angry and confused and frustrated. I took my anger out on you and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Sasuke said burying his nose into Naruto's hair.
"I want you and I want the babies. And if you're still angry you can hit me, punch me, slap me all you want but just please don't leave me again." He pleaded softly unwrapping one of his arms and placing it on Naruto's stomach. "You guys...are all I have."
Naruto felt more tears gather at the corner of his eyes. Sasuke, Sasuke really wanted them. He really, truly wanted them.
"Sasuke I'm sorry too. I yelled at you out of pure anger and jealousy. I was wrong for what I did and you had every right to get angry and frustrated. I just didn't want you to get hurt because I know how Karin is. Everyone knows how she is. And the only reason I sugested her is because I knew you would turn her down. I didn't want you to feel obligated to me if you didn't want to. I wanted you to know that you could love someone else. I'm sorry for everything I did." Naruto looked up at his best friend who caught his gave with anyx ones. "I love you." He whispered.
Sasuke felt his heart jump and he gave a warm smile. A true smile that was meant for Naruto and aruto only before leading htme towards the couch. They both layed down one on top of the other, both content and silent. Naruto didn't expect an answer to his confession. He didn't want an asnswer to his confession. He knew how hard it was for Sasuke to express his tur feelings. And he knew deep down inside, the aven felt the same way for him too. And the day will come when he would say it. And Naruto...would be ready.
