SasuNaru, Yaoi and Unbeta-ed.
Author's notes: Trying to show a different side of Sasuke's possessiveness. And to my anonymous reviewers (Lo and Naruke), thank you for reading this uber sweet fic.
Chapter III: By the name...
By nature, Sasuke was possessive. Even as a child, all his material possessions had his name and he made sure that everyone knew what he owned and what he had, be it a person or a material. But when his bastard of a brother took all his precious persons away, he had nothing to flaunt, nothing and no one to call his own. But that changed when he married Naruto. Now, he made it his mission that everybody knows who Naruto belonged to. And his first victim was none other than Inuzuka Kiba who happened to be in same place as the Uchiha when he spotted his blond friend.
"Hey, Uzumaki!" Kiba hollered, waving his left hand to get Naruto's attention. He just felt like addressing his friend by his family name, unfortunately forgetting one very important detail.
Sasuke half-glared Kiba who immediately fell silent, thinking he was offending Naruto's husband with his noise. "If you want to address him by his family name then address him as Uchiha." "But you are also address as Uchiha. Wouldn't that cause confusion?" At this Akamaru barked in agreement. Sasuke smirked, "Then you shall address him as Sasuke's Uzumaki or else..."
Kiba stared at him owlishly. He assumed that Sasuke had lost few marbles and promised to himself that he would never again address Naruto by his family name. Damn Uchiha and his eccentricities. "Nice to see you, Kiba," a glowing Naruto greeted. "What are you doing here, anyway?" "I feel like hanging out but it seemed you guys have some plans, right?"
Naruto nodded, "Yeah, we're going on grocery shopping. Want to come?"
His friend crinkled his nose and immediately declined especially when the Uchiha's eyes were promising him torture if he didn't. Really, Uchiha and his possessiveness.

This was their first time to go grocery shopping as a couple and Sasuke led Naruto to the better part of the market where he buys his groceries. Unfortunately, that place was where some people who still hated Naruto, had their business but that didn't deter the blonde who wanted to get what his husband wanted.
"I'll get the vegetables and you get the fish by that stall," Sasuke said pointing to the farthest stall of the street. Naruto immediately headed there and examined different kind of fish.
"Mister, can I have two kilos of mackerel and a kilo of salmon, please?"
Grumbling about 'demon' and all, the man quickly packed not so fresh mackerel, causing Naruto to say, "Can I have the freshest? Like this one here?"
"I can't give you that!" was the angry reply, eyes full of hatred that made Naruto cringed.
"But-"
"Beggars can't be choosers, demon.""
"Do you have a problem with my wife?" Sasuke asked coldly as he joined his blonde. He was giving the man the infamous Uchiha glare, causing the man to almost tremble. "Deny what he wanted and you also deny me. That's how things will work from now on."
When the two walk away from the fisherman, not only did Naruto had what he wanted, but also the fisherman gave them, as a late wedding gift, one big tuna fish which was then delivered to the Uchiha state.
"You don't have to terrorize the man with your sharingan, Sasuke" Naruto said although he was totally touched by what Sasuke said to the man. He was sure that two hours from now, those words would be spread all over the market then all over the village.
"Hey, if they make an enemy of you then they are my enemy too," was Sasuke's reply, sparing a fond glance to his mate.
"Oh really. Since when?" the blonde joked, blue eyes dancing in mirth.
"When we are married," was the serious reply that made Naruto's heart soar.
Obviously, Sasuke was taking this marriage too seriously but Naruto wasn't complaining because he felt loved and pampered and he took Sasuke's hand in his all the while wondering if it was possible for him to be this happy?
They then, went to the meat section where the woman immediately prioritized them although there were customers before them. Naruto was amused to see how the woman silently seethed as she followed all of Naruto's requests. It even amused him when the said woman bowed as they left. Being an Uchiha had lots of perks but he couldn't wait for the day when all these people would bow to him not because he was now an Uchiha but because they respected him. That day comes when he became the hokage.
"What are you smiling, dobe?"
"I'm just happy. What would you like to have for dinner, teme?"
"You and that includes for dessert too."
Naruto blushed beet red but he didn't say or do anything that could be taken as a refusal to Sasuke's request.
In the busy crowded street, people couldn't help but notice a couple holding hands while walking at their own slow pace, one babbling nonstop while the other would now and then say something in the conversation and both of them had a contented look on their faces.

A panting Naruto stood in front of an equally panting Lee as they prepared to clash once more. To improve his taijutsu, Naruto had asked Lee in a sparring match and the two had been at it for almost three hours now, neither one of them surrendering.
"Naruto-kun, I've to admit that you have improved but you can't beat me yet. Not when my youthful flame is BURNING FIERCER" Lee declared.
Naruto immediately snorted. "How dare you say that to me! It won't take long before I, Naruto Uzumaki, the next hokage will defeat all of you."
And Naruto knew he made a mistake even before he felt vibes of displeasure coming from his general right side. He turned around to find his mate frowning. With his guard down, Lee was about to attack Naruto but Sasuke threw a kunai at him, barely missing him by centimeters.
"I believe you made a mistake, dobe. Correct it." Sasuke said before Lee could react to his intervention. It wasn't a plea. It was a command made in a voice that brooked no disobedience.
Naruto rolled his eyes. Why couldn't his husband understand that mentioning his old family name was a habit? They had just been married for a week while he had been using the family name 'Uzumaki' for almost 19 years. Damn Uchiha and his strictness.
Sasuke sighed. He no longer had any patience to wait for the dobe to correct it. In a second, he was already beside Naruto who saw the wild predatory glint in those seductive black eyes. "I think a punishment is in order, dobe," he heard Sasuke said in a velvety voice making him shiver. When Sasuke pulled him, he tried to struggle but really why struggle when he knew at the end who would win. And so, without even managing to say goodbye to a confused Lee, Sasuke had transported them to the Uchiha mansion. Hours later, Naruto found himself unable to walk for almost a day even with kyuubi's healing.

Wasn't it nice for the old hag to pair him and Sasuke for a mission after their honeymoon? Naruto thought as he and his partner jumped from one branch to another. Behind them were rogue ninjas who wanted to take very important scrolls from them.
Sasuke looked at Naruto who immediately signaled for them to split. Having no choice, Sasuke nodded and took the right while Naruto fled to the opposite direction.
Sasuke decided to confront his enemies instead of shaking them off so he turned 180 degrees and attacked them.
Blood splattered on one of the tree trunks as Naruto killed his last attacker. He was about to sheath his sword when two more ninjas dropped in front of him.
"Who do we have here in our turf?" a ninja asked, his head titled slightly in a cocky manner. His companion sneered at the maskless ANBU blonde. The old hag had told them that the mask was not needed so he and Sasuke didn't wear theirs.
"Naruto Uchiha, the soon-to-be Rokudaime," was his cocky reply as he always deemed mentioning his name to his enemies as part of his battle ethics.
The two men gaped at him. Was this lad trying to make a fool of them? The news of the Uchiha tragedy spread all throughout and they know there was only one survivor and he didn't go by the name Naruto.
"Kid, if you are trying to use someone's name, make sure you got it right."
"Seeing that you are going to die today, I see no point to tell you this but the name is Sasuke Uchiha – that's the survivor's name."
"Idiot. He is my husband." Naruto cringed when those eyes burned on him, checking him out, mentally undressing him. After assuring that their opponent was a male, the two men immediately thought that they must have heard it wrong. Seeing the doubt in their faces, Naruto quickly showed his ring.
"See," he said while wondering what he was doing, showing off his wedding ring to his opponents. "This ring even had the Uchiha's symbol engraved on it."
Even before his opponents could make a comment, two kunai found their way into their throat. Naruto looked at the direction the kunai came from and saw a pleased Sasuke. No doubt he had heard the entire conversation.
"Well done, dobe. And for that I have a prize for you," Sasuke said as he walked towards the blonde. To be honest, he wanted to kill those guys painfully and slowly as a punishment for the way they looked at his wife but he had more pressing matter to attend to and that was to reward his adorable uke.
"Ramen?" A hopeful voice.
"Something even better."
Naruto frowned. As far as he knew, there was nothing better than ramen but if Sasuke said so then there must be and he wanted to find it out. What could be better than ramen? The two raced towards Konoha and immediately delivered the scrolls to Tsunade.
After that, at the Uchiha mansion Sasuke gave his prize to Naruto who after hours later found himself unable to walk for almost a day. Again! Damn perverted sexy husband.

I know all the posted chapters have Sasuke doing something nice for Naruto, rest assured, that will somehow change somewhere along. Next chapter would be more on Sasuke's perversion. Are you getting excited? I am. -sweatdrops- A pint of ice cream of any flavor for a review. teehee.
