Me: Well … I'm surprised that I got started on this chapter after three hours straight on the other xD … I still find these chapters very short, but oh well.

Naruto: Bad news! To Haku13, and Heidy-the bitch that Elena-chan talks to … Chapter nine is the end! … Yeah, that's about it.

Sasuke: I want my Naruto ass!

Itachi: I really enjoy this story, why did no one tell me of this story?

Me: Er … you never listen and are never here to read it.

Itachi: Good point!

Tobi: Enjoy! :D

CHAPTER 8
Prom crashing!

The weather was a little warmer, the sky a little more blue, green started to show up on the brown expanses, tiny flower buds were waiting for the right time, and the animals were coming back. It was spring, and it marked a new beginning for them all.

Zabuza had been working all weekend, trying to turn planks of wood, nails, and some chain into some lawn chairs and a romantic swing that he and Haku could sit in while they looked up at the stars and their friends were over. He could see Haku watching him now from the front porch, a small smile gracing his lips and making Zabuza smile. He winked and pulled his shirt up over his head and let it fall next to his tool box, giving the world a nice view of his sexy body, unknown to him. Haku smiled and walked towards him making Zabuza drop his hammer and wrap Haku in his arms.

"It's almost done … I think," Zabuza said, gesturing to the half completed swing and the fully completed, and painted chairs. The seat part of it was completed and tested, though it didn't look very pretty, but with the addition of a few cushions it would be perfect. Zabuza was now working on a structure to hang the swing from, which was nearly completed. His biggest concern was the whole thing falling apart, though he had consulted the shop teacher about his plans before beginning and he was proud to say that the shop teacher had come by and was impressed with his work, telling him that if it were to be for a grade, he'd get more than a simple A.

Haku stood up on his toes and kissed Zabuza's cheek, smiling at the determination Zabuza was using just for them. "Thanks," he whispered, then laid his cheek against Zabuza's chest and closed his eyes.

As the sun was setting that evening, Zabuza ran inside to find Haku studying, his cute furrowed brow and slight pout making Zabuza want to tackle him down and just kiss him. But he settled for just kissing him quickly and lightly on the lips. "Come on," he said, but instead of having Haku follow him, he swept him up into his arms, carrying him like they were newlyweds, making Haku giggled in his arms. He wrapped his arms around Zabuza's neck and nibbled at his ear, enjoying the ride to wherever it is they were going.

The swing was complete and swayed lazily in the early spring breeze, painted in the forest green of the house with the white pillows that matched the door and lining. The night had a bit of a chill to it, so Zabuza had set a few blankets on the swing, making it perfect for them both. It was a clear sky though, with the sun dying the horizon a crimson red and livid orange and pink. A V-shaped formation of birds soared past, looking like tiny ink dots in the distance.

Zabuza and Haku sat close together as they watched the sun go away to come back again the next day. Zabuza covered them with blankets and Haku curled up against his side as stars began to appear, making a miraculous show of blinking in the distance. Zabuza kissed the top of Haku's head and pushed the swing slowly back and forth, hugging his angel close as they stared into the distance of the night sky.

Zabuza smiled and traced pictures in the stars as Haku started to fall asleep on his chest, mewling into his sleep and hugging Zabuza closer. Zabuza knew he'd found true happiness, because the moment he was in was just as good as any sexual encounter they'd ever shared.

[...][...][...][...][...][...][...][...][...][...]

Zabuza didn't really look at the prom invitation that the preppy junior girl handed him, smiling at him and trying to to looked disgusted, no wonder he just ignored it. He stuffed it into his back pocket and forgot about it until that evening when it fell into the grass as he and Haku were leaving their swing and Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, and Gaara went on into their house

"Oh, that's just …" Zabuza didn't say anything. Haku's eyes seemed to light up as he looked at the invitation, turning it over and reading it as Naruto walked up to them and saw it.

"Oh, cool! You guys are going too? We're going as a group, but since Zabuza didn't say anything, we didn't ask." Sasuke tapped Naruto's ass, smirking as he shut his mouth and looked away, seems that the rape method was working out for them.

"Actually, Naruto, I forgot all about the invitation, but …" He looked over at Haku as he turned the card around once more.

It was on black card stock, with a red ribbon wrapped around the top. In silver calligraphy it read 'The Konohagakure Junior Class invites you to the Jr./Sr. Prom: A Night Under The Stars…' followed by the location and time of the event. In the bottom corner of the invitation there was a picture of the Eiffel Tower with a full moon behind it. Haku smiled as he traced the picture, sighing silently

"You want to go?" Zabuza asked, looking at Haku, he was kind of shocked. He hadn't really expected Haku to want to go to the prom, but then again, he hadn't expected many of the things that occurred in his life to occur.

"Y-yes," Haku whispered nervously, blushing cutely and making Naruto coo at him.

Zabuza tilted Haku's chin up and gently kissed him. "Ok, we'll go. But let me ask you properly. Later, though."

Sasuke smirked as they entered the house, Neji and Gaara having stayed on the porch throughout the entire exchanged. "Gaara … it looks like we're going to have some fun at prom." Gaara grinned and nodded, following them inside as Neji and Naruto started a movie and Nagato and Konan fussed over their cuteness.

The next afternoon, Haku found a teddy bear in a suit jacket and bow tie sitting on his desk, holding a note that said 'Will you go to prom with me?' He smiled as he turned to Zabuza, who was talking to Sasuke and Gaara. Their eyes met and a dazzling smile appeared on both their faces as they stared deep into each others eyes.

"AW! See, I told you that you were cute! Smiling like that makes you even cuter!" Naruto said, grinning as Haku glared at him and Neji and began their, 'who is hotter' right once again.

[...][...][...][...][...][...][...][...][...][...]

Zabuza was surprised at how nervous he was, he was fidgeting and twisting his fingers. He looked at the fresh flower boutonniere in its plastic container, he'd chosen a white rose because when he saw it, he thought of Haku and how innocent he was. He shifted his weight and tugged at his tux, he'd never worn one before, having skipped his junior prom to start the after-parties early, and he was very uncomfortable in it, though everyone had assured him he looked nice in the black tux, black shirt and vest, with a brightly contrasting red tie.

He knew Haku was about to appear when Konan rushed in with her digital camera in hand.

"Wait! Don't let him out yet," she shouted. "Zabuza, fix this damn thing." Konan was good at many things, many of them containing decorating, flowering, and origami, but electronics was not her thing. Zabuza laughed and switched the camera from viewing mode to picture taking mode and handed it back to the woman who was more of a mom to him than his own mother was.

Haku appeared in a tux that matched Zabuza's and made him stand out at the same time as the most beautiful thing Zabuza had ever seen. Their eyes locked for a moment and both smiled uncontrollably, keeping their gazes and unknowingly giving Konan the best shot there was.

Zabuza took the flower out of its container and pinned it to Haku's lapel and then kissed his cheek, making Haku blush lightly.

"Wait a minute!" Konan said. "I missed it. Do it again, Nagato fix this!" Nagato chuckled as his wife as she bounced in her place giddily, watching the boys stare lovingly into each others eyes.

Zabuza and Haku smiled at each other and repeated the entire process, each gesture done with so much care and love that Konan and Nagato couldn't help but ask for them to do it again one more time. After taking pictures by the doorway, Konan had the boys pose by a tree in the front yard and on the swing. Zabuza, Haku, and Nagato were nearly laughing hysterically as she continued to direct the young couple's 'candid' poses. Around the fifth time that Zabuza had helped Ezra into the sleek black Mustang they had borrowed from a friend of the Akatsukis, Zabuza had to put a stop to it. "We'll miss the dinner if we don't leave now," he said.

Konan kissed both boys on the cheek and said, "Be careful."

"Be back before sunrise, boys," Nagato added, the suggestive tone in it making both boys blush and Konan giggle.

Zabuza smiled as they drove away, noticing Konan snapping a few pictures of the car leaving and Nagato chuckling at her. The sky was overcast and he hoped it wouldn't rain as he reached over for Haku's hand.

"Are you happy?"

"Yes." Thunder rolled and a few raindrops hit the windshield.

"That's all I want," Zabuza said.

As Zabuza drove down, he noticed two other cars following close behind, chuckling as he noticed Naruto's blonde hair jumping around in his seat. They had all agreed to meet at Haku's house, but Zabuza guessed that they were afraid of Konan, who was armed with a camera and ready to pounce on unsuspecting couples. They drove down the road, all ready to get the prom over with and receive the hate from the never ending parade of stupid.

They were the last couples to arrive at the Konoha Country Club and at that point the rain was coming down hard. The front doors had been decorated with white Christmas lights and they all joined the line of arriving couples. Chaperones were checking invitations and the teacher in charge of the yearbook was taking pictures of the couples as they arrived.

The man taking invitations gave them all a dirty look and the school photographer refused to take Haku and Zabuza's picture for the yearbook page. Zabuza was angry about that, but he didn't want to ruin the night so he let it slide and put an arm around Haku as they entered the dining area. Sasuke gave both of them a dirty look as followed behind Naruto, secretly holding onto his hand. Gaara just glared at them, keeping a protective distance to Neji as they walked in behind Sasuke, Naruto, Zabuza, and Haku making the two shiver in fear.

The buffet table had chicken and beef, a salad with vinaigrette, a pasta dish of some sort, green beans, and jello. Once they had their plates, Zabuza led the way to an empty table, the tables were large enough for eight people and though some people ate while standing, none accompanied Zabuza, Haku, and their friends.

The wait staff brought the dessert out and Zabuza was sure to thank the young waitress that brought theirs because she was the first kind face he'd seen since arriving at the prom. The dessert was a lemon with candied curls of the peel on top. They all laughed at the cute way Haku, Neji, and Naruto wrinkled their nose when they tasted it.

"You don't like it?" Zabuza asked, noticing how Gaara and Sasuke were beginning to not care about everyone else and hold onto Naruto and Neji.

Haku shook his head and pushed the plate away, smiling at the fact that Naruto and Neji were beginning to open up and show their relationship with Sasuke and Gaara.

"I'll give you something sweet later," Zabuza whispered in his ear, making Haku blush and smile.

The clock chimed at seven and the students herded towards the separate area that the dance would be held in. Zabuza could hear a pop song playing as they entered the room, passing the area that was being set up for the professional photographer. The backdrop was of a starry night sky, and a mini cardboard Eiffel Tower covered with lights stood for the couples to pose next to. The room itself was lit by Christmas lights and candles with rose petals strewn over the black cloth covered tables. The dance floor was disappointingly small, but no one was interested in it. As was common for most Konoha dances, everyone crowded to the tables and against the walls until a country song was played.

Zabuza got a glass of punch and brought it to Haku as they sat at their own table, Sasuke chatting with Gaara and Neji and Naruto glaring at Haku about who was cuter. The dancing started to pick up, girls tossed away their shoes and boys took off their jackets as they started to really enjoy their night.

Zabuza started to worry as Haku became silent as usual as he watched the couples on the dance floor with Naruto and Neji.

"Do you want to have our picture taken?" Zabuza offered.

Haku nodded and they went to wait, the other two couples tagging along to watch them. The line was short and soon the young couple was standing under a bright light next to the cardboard cutout.

The photographer was a man in his early thirties, with a long needle sticking out of his mouth, a bandana covering his hair and glasses that made him look scholarly. The boys posed in the classic prom picture way, standing slightly sideways, Haku in front of Zabuza, and Zabuza's arms around his waist.

"No, no, no, Genma!" a voice called just as the photographer, Genma, was about to take the picture. The assistant principle stepped in front of the camera. " Don't take their picture, Genma! We don't condone that sort of thing here."

Genma narrowed his eyes at her as she stood. "You may not, but I am an independent photographer. You cannot tell me I can't take this lovely couple's picture. Now, if you would kindly move out of my shot."

"We are running this prom!" she shouted, her product laden hair nearly moved showing just how frustrated she was.

"The Konoha school district rented the dining room and function room twelve. We are currently in the foyer. You have no control here," the photographer said.

The assistant principle rushed off to find someone with more authority.

Genma smiled at the boys and took a few shots. He stepped in front of the camera and guided them into a different poses.

"I just wanted to say..." he began. "I'm gay also. I know how tough it is in high school. I have to say, you boys are braver than I was. I didn't go to my prom. Just know it gets better." He winked at them and returned to his camera and took a few pictures of them standing, facing each other and holding hands.

"One more, pose however you want," he said.

Sasuke and Gaara motioned for them to be quick as they saw the assistant principal returning with the superintendent and a member of the school board. He quickly leaned down and kissed Haku's lips. The camera flashed and as soon as it had, Zabuza took Haku by the hand and they returned to the dance.

The young couple had found new hope in meeting another gay man, and with their friends, they hoped to open new doors.

The DJ played a fast pop song and the dancers trickled off of the dance floor. He followed that with a slow song, 'Your Guardian Angel' by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Zabuza and Haku shared a look and then stepped onto the dance floor.

Zabuza put his arms around Haku, his hands lightly resting on the small of his back, Haku's hands were on his shoulders and they stared deeply into each others eyes. They danced as close together as was possible, the heat between their bodies seemed to fill the room. Everyone stared, but they didn't notice.

Sasuke rolled his eyes as Naruto fidgeted in his seat, pulling his hand and standing next to Zabuza and Haku. "Dance with me." Naruto's eyes teared up and he nodded, resting his head on his shoulder and following the rhythm of the song. Soon after, Neji and Gaara followed, neither of the three couples cared as gasps resounded throughout the dance hall and everyone stared at them.

Disaster struck as the instrumental break began. Two of Zabuza's ex-teammates flung full glasses of punch at the dancing couples, it splattered at their feet and some of it got on their clothes. Zabuza went blind with rage and the next thing he knew he was being pulled away by Gaara and Sasuke from one of the boys that had a bloody nose.

The room was nearly in a riot of shouting and chaperones desperately tried to tame the crowd.

The assistant principal sneered as she approached the source of the commotion with the principal at her side. After hearing the jock's point of view, the principal turned his rigid face to Zabuza and said, "Fighting, Mr. Momochi? I'm afraid you'll have to leave the prom and report to my office tomorrow so we can discuss your punishment."

"That is completely unfair," someone said before Zabuza could make the same statement. "It is obvious that those boys started this." The new English teacher stood in front of Zabuza and Haku protectively, glaring at him as the principal glared back. He was a strong, lean, lightly muscled young man with silver, gravity defying hair, fresh out of college.

"Zabuza was the first to throw a punch, Kakashi," the assistant principal said, scrunching up her face like she'd just smelled a skunk.

"Throwing this couple out of the prom is completely and utterly wrong. You and I know it's not about the fight. It's your own damn prejudice. You have no right to be in charge of this school if you condone such blatant discrimination."

The principal shoved Kakashi aside and said, "Mr. Momochi, you and your"—he paused and made a sound like he'd bitten into something rotten—"date...need to leave now."

Again, the Kakashi spoke before Brady could say anything. "I'll escort them out. I need to be leaving too. Consider this my two-week's notice."

He paused as he turned around, smirking at the principal as he turned to look at him once more. "Oh, and remember that important visitor from the grand court that was to be evaluating your school?" The principal nodded stiffly, not liking where this was going. "Well, that's me. And you failed my evaluation." Kakashi then turned around, walking off and leaving the principal astonished.

Many of the couples at the dance left, not liking how Zabuza and Haku were treated as they walked out. Sasuke and Gaara shared a look with one another and went to go find Genma, their dates being dragged along as they stared at each other.

It was still raining outside but barely as Zabuza, Haku, the many couples who left, and Kakashi stepped out into the parking lot.

"I'm so sorry about that," he said.

Zabuza shrugged. "Thank you for standing up for us."

Kakashi nodded and fished in his jacket for his keys. "I hope you both have a nice night despite all of this"

Zabuza nearly wanted to hug him, but he didn't and he climbed into his Ford F150 and left. Though the night hadn't gone as planned, he was amazed to see that there were some people willing to speak out against the bullies and homophobes.

[...][...][...][...][...][...][...][...][...][...]

Zabuza parked the car in an abandoned dirt lot near a park and the young couple climbed into the back seat.

"I love you so much," Zabuza whispered and then slid his tongue into Haku's hot waiting mouth.

They had quite a difficult time getting themselves out of their tuxes, but it only added to the heat of the moment as they tore at each others clothes between hot, wet kisses.

Haku's erection was the first to spring free and Zabuza immediately took the hardness into his mouth. He moaned a little and leaned back against the door, accidentally hitting the button and cracking the window as Zabuza swallowed him. He squirmed and whimpered with delight as Zabuza's tongue laved over his sack, producing more heated moans from Haku.

After five minutes of pure bliss, Haku signaled that it was Zabuza's turn. He smiled shyly as he kissed Zabuza's muscular chest, nibbling at his nipples and worshiping well-toned abs with his agile hands, before taking hold of Zabuza's manhood. He dove down and licked away the pre-cum before taking every hard inch into his mouth. He flexed his throat muscles and Zabuza let out a husky moan. "Yeah, baby...that's good," he said.

Zabuza thought he was about to explode when Haku stopped and whispered, "I love y-you."

Zabuza gave Haku's firm ass a squeeze and started to kiss his way down his stomach, to his inner thigh, to his rosebud opening. He licked slowly and Haku trembled with desire as that hot muscle began to prod its way into Haku's hole. He let out a soft sound as Zabuza penetrated with his tongue, working inside him to get him nice and loose.

Haku searched for words to communicate the desire to be filled by Brady, but none came to him. Instead he moaned Zabuza's name and squirmed against hiss tongue, urging it to go deeper. Zabuza thrusted his tongue in deeper, loving the way Haku moaned out his delight, loving the way he trembled and reacted to his touch.

Zabuza pressed the head of his cock against Haku's opening, applying pressure and smirked as Haku moaned out in frustration. Their eyes locked and Zabuza finally entered as gently as possible. Haku chewed on his bottom lip and reached up to trace the lines of Zabuza's pecs as he started to move slowly in and out of him. Haku closed his eyes and moaned from the bliss as Zabuza hit the right spot, making him clench his inner muscles around Zabuza.

Zabuza sped up his thrusts and watched as Haku's shyness disappeared the way it always did. Haku arched his back and moaned loudly, moaning as the first white rope of cum painted his smooth stomach. Zabuza felt himself starting to cum as well as he watched his love writhe underneath him in pleasure. He delivered two final thrusts and then emptied himself into Haku, his lips landing on Haku's in a sweet, gentle kiss.
