Epilogue


"Do we have to watch this movie again?"

"I find one more- just one- and I'm gonna catch him and staple his ass shut."

A certain blonde ninja let out a loud, boisterous laugh. "But I love this movie! Don't you like it?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes at the pout from his lover. "I did the first time around. After I memorized all the lines it kind of got uninteresting."

Naruto punched the brunette on the arm from where he was currently lying down. On Sasuke's lap, that is. With proper bugging and nagging he had gotten the Uchiha to actually sit up in bed, so he could comfortably lie down. Of course that meant that Naruto was hogging all the blankets. Sasuke let out a deep sigh.

"Come on, Naruto... can't we watch something else? Like Battle Royale?"

"No, Sasuke!" He buried his head under a blanket. "You know I can't watch gory things!"

Sasuke took a glance at the clock. A quarter after seven. "Well, let's get dressed. We were supposed to be at Kiba's fifteen minutes ago."

The blonde shot up from his place in bed, trying to scramble to his feet which only ended up in falling face first onto the carpet. He silently thanked a random deity that he didn't live in his old apartment anymore – wood was so much less forgiving than carpet.

"Why didn't you say something sooner?! It's Shikamaru's birthday, damnit! We can't be late!"

He helped his clumsy boyfriend to his feet. "We already are."

As Sasuke took his time pulling on a pair of slacks and a nice shirt, Naruto ran around like a chicken with his head cut off. Sasuke always tried to explain that rushing will only make you forget something, but of course he would never listen.

He grabbed Naruto's wrist as he tried to run by.

"Do you know what tomorrow is?"

"The 29th of November?"

"And what does that mean?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes. If he doesn't remember, I swear I'll beat him to death.

Blue eyes slightly widened in realization, moving to rest his hands on Sasuke's hips.

"It means we've been together for a whole year."

Sasuke wrapped his own arms around Naruto's waist. Yes, hugging Sasuke was much better then worrying about being late. Naruto rested his head against his partner's strong shoulder.

"What'd you get me?" The blonde asked playfully, nipping at an earlobe.

"A whole day's worth of mind-blowing, toe-numbing sex?"

"Sounds good to me." Naruto giggled; stepping back and striking a sexy pose in his new outfit. He gave Sasuke a saucy wink.

"So, how do I look?"

"Gorgeous." He whispered. "Absolutely gorgeous."

"I can see the news report now - they were a quiet family, kept pretty much to themselves. No one ever would have suspected them of foul play."


Author's Note: Yeah, I know it sucks. Something fluffy to show they continued being together. I know I'm supposed to be writing the next part, and I have about half of the first chapter done... but I just can't. find. the. TIME!

P.S. – Anyone who can guess the movie gets hearts and stars. :P
