Ask and you shall recieve... chapter 3
Naruto and Sasuke had gotten use to each other. They had been married for about five months. Sasuke had gotten them matching silver rings after the first month. He made sure to take care of Naruto. Even though they hadn't planned on getting married, Sasuke wanted his husband to be happy. For the most part, Naruto was happy. But there were sometimes Sasuke could see apprehension, nervousness and even depression in his eyes. But when he asked, Naruto would smile and say he was okay. The first few months Naruto came into Sasuke's room every night until one day Naruto found everything from his room had been moved into Sasuke's room. It had made Naruto really happy. One night they were laying in bed when Sasuke turned to face his husband.
"Hey, Naruto." Sasuke said. Naruto looked up at him.
"What?" Naruto asked.
"You know, we've been married for like five months and haven't even kissed." Sasuke said. Naruto's breath hitched and his eyes widened.
"What?" He asked nervously.
"Well, isn't that something that married couples do?" Sasuke asked.
"So? I mean, we're only technically married. I've barely kissed a girl and never even thought about kissing a boy." Naruto said.
"Would I be that much different from kissing a girl?" Sasuke asked looking at Naruto. Naruto's heart was racing, Sasuke could feel it in their close proximity. "Something wrong?"
"I don't want to kiss you." Naruto quickly said.
"Why?" Sasuke asked.
"What if I'm a bad kisser?" Naruto asked.
"Then we'll practice until you are a good kisser." Sasuke smiled putting a hand on Naruto's cheek. Naruto flinched. "What's wrong?"
"I just, it's just that, um," Naruto started but Sasuke kissed him before he could make an excuse. Naruto was startled. He tried to pull back but Sasuke wouldn't let him. After a few moments, Naruto realized he didn't want to pull away. Sasuke was a very good kisser. Sasuke licked Naruto's lips and Naruto immediately opened his mouth to let Sasuke's tongue in, moaning softly into his husband's mouth. Sasuke smirked and pulled away.
"You're not a bad kisser." Sasuke said kissing Naruto again. Naruto smiled into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and kissed him back.
"You're not bad either." Naruto smiled softly while nibbling Sasuke's lower lip. Sasuke moaned softly and pulled Naruto closer. Naruto broke the kiss and smiled at Sasuke.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"That was my first real kiss." Naruto smiled. Sasuke laughed and kissed Naruto again.
"Good." Sasuke smiled. Naruto looked at him.
"Good?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, I want you to be pure." Sasuke said brushing his hand through Naruto's hair. Naruto frowned softly.
"I'm not pure." Naruto said softly.
"What does that mean?" Sasuke asked softly.
"There are plenty of impurities in my life." Naruto said. Sasuke touched the lines on Naruto's cheeks.
"Like these?" Sasuke asked. Naruto flinched and nodded. "What are they from?"
"A bad memory." Naruto said. Sasuke nodded and kissed Naruto.
"I'm sorry." Sasuke said softly. Naruto shook his head and closed his eyes.
"It doesn't matter." Naruto said. Sasuke sighed and stroked Naruto's cheek. Naruto seemed tense at first but slowly relaxed under Sasuke's touch. Naruto fell asleep with a soft smile on his face. Sasuke stayed up for another half hour just watching Naruto sleeping. He felt kind of like a creep watching Naruto, but he told himself that since they were married, it was okay. Naruto looked sweet when he was asleep. Sasuke could see himself falling for the blonde. Sasuke gently kissed Naruto and fell asleep. After that night Sasuke and Naruto only got closer. Naruto seemed happier. Sometimes he would still look depressed, but then he would just kiss Sasuke and say it was nothing. It was a night only a month later that Sasuke discovered he really was in love with the blonde.
"Naruto." Sasuke said at dinner.
"Hmm?" Naruto asked taking a bite of his ramen.
"I love you." Sasuke said. Naruto choked on his ramen and shook his head.
"Don't say that, Sasuke." Naruto said through coughs.
"Why? It's true." Sasuke said. Naruto frowned and shook his head.
"Whatever." Naruto said getting up and walking away.
"Naruto." Sasuke said.
"I'm going to take a shower." Naruto said and slammed the bathroom door shut. Sasuke sighed. He didn't know that Naruto would be so upset about such a simple confession. Maybe he should just take it back when Naruto got out of the shower. Sasuke ran his hands through his hair.
"Naruto." Sasuke said knocking on the bathroom door.
"What?" Naruto asked from inside.
"What I said, earlier. You can just forget it." Sasuke said.
"I was planning to." Naruto answered back. Sasuke sighed.
"Oh." Sasuke said softly. He went and laid down on his bed. After Naruto finished his shower he went into the bedroom and laid down next to Sasuke but facing away from him. Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist and pressed his head into his husband's back. "Why did you get so upset?" Sasuke asked.
"Because you suddenly confessed to me." Naruto said.
"We've been married for six months, Naruto. Is it really that strange?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes." Naruto said softly.
"Why?" Sasuke asked.
"Because we're both guys." Naruto said.
"So? Is a man not allowed to love another man?" Sasuke asked.
"We weren't even supposed to get married." Naruto said.
"But we did." Sasuke said. Naruto sighed and turned to face Sasuke.
"I don't feel the same way." Naruto frowned. Sasuke kissed Naruto gently.
"You don't have to. I just wanted you to know how I feel." Sasuke said. Naruto stroked Sasuke's hair and kissed the dark haired boy. Sasuke smiled softly and ran his fingers through Naruto's hair. Naruto kissed Sasuke one more time and closed his eyes. Sasuke fell asleep shortly after that and didn't see when Naruto started crying. Naruto watched Sasuke sleeping as he cried silently, gently tracing the lines of Sasuke's face.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke." Naruto said softly.
'You love him, don't you?' a voice in Naruto's head said. Naruto ignored the voice and went to sleep. He woke up the next morning hearing voices in the living room.
"They were juggling geese! I swear, baby geese. Goslings." Suigetsu said.
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked walking into the room.
"Suigetsu saw some people juggling geese." Sasuke said plainly.
"Oh." Naruto nodded and went into the kitchen to make himself breakfast. Suigetsu left and Sasuke went into the kitchen. "Why are you here, Sasuke?"
"I was hungry." Sasuke said slightly confused.
"I mean in this city, in this group." Naruto said.
"I have to kill Kyuubi." Sasuke said.
"Why? Why do you have to kill him?" Naruto asked.
"He killed my brother." Sasuke said. Naruto sighed.
"That's not really a good reason, don't you think?" Naruto asked. Sasuke looked at him.
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked.
"You're a good person, Sasuke. You don't belong here. These people are evil. We should just move away from this city and go back to Konoha." Naruto sighed.
"When I kill Kyuubi then we can go to Konoha." Sasuke said. Naruto frowned and sighed heavily.
"Whatever." Naruto said turning back to what he was making. Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist and pressed against his back.
"I promise. I'm only with this group to get Kyuubi. Once he's dead then we'll move wherever you want." Sasuke said resting his chin on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto sighed again.
"What if you never find this Kyuubi?" Naruto asked. "I mean it's been three years since your brother died, right? And from what I hear, this Nine Tails group is pretty elusive. Especially Kyuubi. What if you don't find him? I think you should just give up on killing him and move to Konoha with me." Naruto sighed leaning back against Sasuke's chest. Sasuke kissed Naruto's neck.
"I'll find him, I promise." Sasuke said. Naruto sighed again. "What's wrong?"
"I don't like it here." Naruto said sadly.
"Just put up with it for a bit longer and then we'll go to Konoha. I promise, it won't be long." Sasuke said kissing Naruto's shoulder. Naruto turned and kissed Sasuke gently.
"Whatever you say." Naruto said. A few months passed and at least once a week Naruto would ask Sasuke if they could move to Konoha. Sasuke would promise that as soon as he killed Kyuubi, they would move. Naruto would just sigh and change the subject.
"Why do you want to go back so bad?" Sasuke asked one day at lunch.
"Because I hate it here." Naruto huffed. "The people here are bad people, Sasuke." Naruto said.
"Just until," Sasuke started.
"You kill Kyuubi, I know." Naruto sighed. "You keep saying that, but you haven't gotten any closer to killing him, Sasuke. Just give up Sasuke and move to Konoha. The people there are good and kind, they take care of each other and everyone is happy. Please, Sasuke. This place is depressing and cold where everyone is only concerned with what affects them and are secretly plotting against each other. I hate this place so much." Sasuke kissed Naruto.
"We're starting on a project in Akatsuki. It'll be finished in a few months and then we'll go visit Konoha. Does that sound good?" Sasuke asked. Naruto sighed.
"Fine." Naruto said. Sasuke sighed.
"Please don't be upset, Naruto. I want you to be happy, but I have to kill Kyuubi." Sasuke said. Naruto sighed and looked away.
"Whatever you say." Naruto said. Sasuke ran his hands through his hair and sighed.
"I'm sorry." Sasuke said. Naruto sighed and kissed Sasuke's head before walking off. "Where are you going?" Sasuke asked.
"Nap." Naruto answered.
"Can I join you?" Sasuke asked.
"If you want. I figured you would be too busy with that project or something." Naruto said. Sasuke sighed.
"Don't be bitter, Naruto." Sasuke said.
"I'm not." Naruto said. Sasuke sighed and stayed in his seat at the kitchen table. He heard the bedroom door close and he put his head on the kitchen table. Naruto had started acting differently over the last month, more distant and pessimistic. Sasuke really wanted Naruto to be happy but he couldn't give up his plans to kill his brother's murderer. Sasuke sighed and went to the bedroom. He carefully got into bed next to his sleeping husband and wrapped his arms around him.
"I really do love you." Sasuke sighed and kissed Naruto's head.
"I know." Naruto said.
"You're awake." Sasuke looked down at him.
"A little." Naruto said sleepily. Sasuke kissed Naruto gently.
"I want you to be happy because I love you. But I have to kill him." Sasuke sighed. Naruto nodded. "Do you love me, Naruto?"
"What?" Naruto asked.
"I mean, I've told you a few times now that I love you. But you've never said it back." Sasuke said. Naruto blinked at him.
"So?" Naruto asked.
"Well, I'd like to think that you kind of feel similar about me because you seem to like living with me and you let me kiss you and hold you and stuff, but you've never really told me how you feel." Sasuke said. "I mean I'm not one to usually talk about feelings and stuff, but it does get kind of frustrating when I keep telling you that I love you and you haven't said it once." Naruto sighed.
"Of course I'm in love with you, Sasuke." Naruto said kissing Sasuke gently. "I've been in love with you since we got married." He said running his fingers through Sasuke's hair. Sasuke smiled softly and kissed him. "I love you, Sasuke." Naruto smiled softly.
"I love you, Naruto." Sasuke smiled. Naruto kissed Sasuke one last time before he fell asleep. Sasuke watched Naruto sleeping with a soft smile. Naruto loved him, it made him very happy. Sasuke stroked Naruto's hair while he slept. Sasuke felt happier in that moment than he ever had in his life. He wanted to lay in his bed with Naruto in his arms for the rest of his life. If he never moved from that spot, he would be happy.
"Sasuke!" Suigetsu called banging on the front door. Sasuke frowned and tightened his grip on Naruto and pressed his face into Naruto's neck.
"Go away." Sasuke said softly. Suigetsu kept banging on the door.
"Sasuke, go see what he wants. I'll be here when you get back." Naruto said. Sasuke kissed him and got up.
"What?" Sasuke growled as he opened the door.
"Madara thinks he's found a way to find Kyuubi." Suigetsu said. Sasuke smiled and left with Suigetsu. They went to Madara's office to find the dark man waiting for them.
"Where is he?" Sasuke asked.
"We're not sure exactly, but we've been gathering information and thought if you looked it over, you could form a team to attack." Madara said handing Sasuke some papers. Sasuke looked them over.
"It'll take a few months." Sasuke said. Madara nodded. Sasuke smirked as he left. "Just a few months."
"Just a few months." Naruto sighed as Sasuke came in.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"Till our anniversary." Naruto smiled at them.
"That's right." Sasuke smiled kissing Naruto. "Oh, good news. My uncle got some information on Kyuubi's whereabouts. It'll only be a few months and then we can move to Konoha." Sasuke smiled. Naruto frowned slightly. "What? I thought you would be happy."
"I don't know. Why don't we go to Konoha now?" Naruto asked. "We can go buy a house there and get settled in and then you can go after Kyuubi, if you still want." Naruto said wrapping his arms around Sasuke's neck.
"I don't know." Sasuke sighed.
"Please. You want me to be happy, right?" Naruto asked kissing Sasuke.
"Hmm. Yeah but we can wait just a few more months right? It would be faster to work with my team here and then move." Sasuke said. Naruto pouted and kissed Sasuke again.
"Please, Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"It's just a few months, Naruto." Sasuke sighed.
"Please?" Naruto asked.
"A few months. That's all I ask." Sasuke said kissing Naruto.
"Two months." Naruto said.
"Three." Sasuke told him.
"Our anniversary is in three months." Naruto said.
"So, for our anniversary I'll move us to Konoha." Sasuke smiled.
"How about we go to Konoha in two months so we can spend out anniversary in Konoha?" Naruto asked. Sasuke sighed.
"I'll think about it." Sasuke said. Naruto smiled and kissed Sasuke.
"Thanks, Sasuke. I love you." Naruto smiled. Sasuke smiled back at him.
"I love you too." He said.
