18. Christmas Market

Sasuke and Naruto were strolling around through the small alleys, surrounded by blinking lights, Christmas music and drunken people. It smelled like roasted apples, gingerbread and mulled wine. Naruto sniffled the air.

"Oh, Sasuke, let's take a break, my feet are hurting... and I also want to try the mulled wine..."

Sasuke stopped and looked at Naruto in thought.

"Okay, you can buy us two jars. I'll be right back, wait for me," he said hastily and off he was.

"What? Hey, wait a sec-!" Naruto yelled after him, but he already disappeared in the crowd.

'Great,' he thought and sighed. But he had nothing better to do, so he bought the two jars at the nearest both, went to an empty table and waited for Sasuke to come back, slightly sipping at his wine.

'Mmh, that tastes really good,' he thought, sipping again at the red liquor, 'way better than that stuff last year!'

While he watched the flow of the crowd and drank his mulled wine he looked for a glimpse of black hair. Problem was, there were a lot of people with black hair. A sweatdrop appeared at his head.

"Hey Naruto! Fancy meeting you here!" a voice suddenly said and someone slapped him on the back.

Naruto almost choked at his drink and the stranger pound him on the back.

"Watch it, I don't want you to die because of me, Sasuke would kill me!" he laughed and sat down next to Naruto, who slowly recovered.

"Ah, Sai, don't always scare me!" Naruto said hoarsely and took a swig.

"Sorry," Sai said, but it didn't sound honest to Naruto.

"Uh-huh," he answered.

Sai looked at him curiously.

"So what are you doing here without your better half?"

"I'm waiting for him, he said he would be right back..."

"Wanna drink while he's away? My treat."

"Sure, why not?" Naruto grinned, "Here, it was for Sasuke, but since he isn't around you can have it." He pushed the second glass to Sai who took it smiling and downed it in one. Naruto stared at him.

"If it's my treat, I have to buy the drinks," he grinned and took Naruto's almost empty jar, "I'll get some more."

A minute later he returned with two full jars and they started drinking and talking.

When Sasuke returned with a big bag and saw his boyfriend sitting at a table with Sai, he couldn't believe his eyes. It wasn't the fact that the two were for once not bickering about something unimportant – they became some kind of friends long before – but the state Naruto was in. He was wobbling an his seat and had to support himself on Sai, who didn't seem to mind. In fact, he looked pretty happy and was by no means as drunk as Naruto. And – holy sh-t – that was Sai's hand slowly inching towards Naruto's ass! Sasuke saw red.

He walked over to them and grabbed Naruto without a word, glaring daggers at Sai.

"Heey, whaddaya doin', Saucekay? Lemme go!", Naruto babbled, but let himself be pulled away from the table and through the crowd. He waved goodbye at Sai and then turned to Sasuke.

"Hey, suga-pants, wanna get lucky?" He jumped onto Sasuke and latched his legs around him. Sasuke twitched and pried Naruto off of him and put him on his shoulder.

'Damn you, Sai!' he thought bitterly as he carried the now soundly sleeping Naruto home.

Erm... I can explain! XD

I just love drunk Naruto, I've already written a whole story about him being drunk, wearing a fox-costume and hitting on Sasuke :3 Maybe I'll translate it and update it here. But first I have to finish this!

So, till next time! Reviews would be very appreciated!
