Chapter 6

Today would be a day that you would call a 'tense-day' for Sasuke, because of what was going to happen tonight. Naruto had taken him out to town-calling the parents that had the kids to keep them for another night-to calm and relax the raven. What Sasuke didn't know was that they were also buy tuxes for the night. And what Sasuke didn't know was that he would run into Ino and Sakura. Which is why he was tense and Naruto was shaking there hands at that moment.

"Hello Sakura. It's a pleasure to meet you. Ino, I had no idea you knew Sakura," the blond man said with a grin that made the pinkette blush, Ino just waved it off and said nothing. "I'm sure Sasuke is happy to see you too, Sakura, right?" He stomped on Sasuke's foot when the raven scoffed and plastered on his best smile he could muster.

"Right, whatever," Sasuke replied smoothly, wincing and holding back a pained yelp. The two girls were oblivious and continued to smile. But the pinkette's smile soon turned into a small serious frown.

"Naruto, Ino, can you give Sasuke and I minute? I need to talk to him about something," Sakura said, receiving three questioning looks. Naruto and Ino did as asked and went off towards the girls' clothing section of the mall, the tall blond being dragged by the smaller blond. Sasuke gave the pink haired thing his full attention, curious of what the girl wanted.

"What do you want?" Sasuke asked with a snappy voice, wanting Sakura to hurry.

"I know I've been after you for a long time and I know you don't like it much," she started, earning a snort from the raven. "Ok, you hate it a lot. But after finding out that you and Naruto are together, I knew that we were never meant for each other…"

"How did you know?"

"Gaara accidentally slipped while he was talking to Kiba about the situation between you and Naruto."

"Are you… angry?"

"I was at first, but then I knew that I only like you because of your looks and not of what was in the inside. I told Ino and she said she already knew." She looked at her laced fingers and chewed at her lips as she thought of what next to say.

"And now?" Sasuke could feel the tense in his shoulders easing away as the pinkette kept speaking in how the raven wanted her to speak. He had waited for this day for as long as could remember and was finally reaping in the words that Sakura was saying.

"I'm happy for you and Naruto. And if I didn't hear about you and Naruto, I would have never knew how great Lee is," she ended with a bright smile, glancing up at Sasuke's face to see a surprised look on the teen's face.

"Lee? You mean you're dating Fuzzy-brows? He's not really that great to look at…" Sasuke finally answered, a look of disgust in his eyes. Sakura giggled and grinned at the new look she never seen on the teen's face.

"I told him that and I had his hair cut, gelled, and spiked and had his eyebrows trimmed thin. I told him not wear so much green and not to dress up like Gai-sensei. He can be such a suck-up to the man." She laughed and grinned at the chuckle that slipped through Sasuke's lips. "He's now a hot piece of ass in my eyes. Ino also agreed. Oh! I saw Shikamaru the other day with some boy name Yuki. They seemed pretty intimate when I saw them."

"That's because they're together. Yuki's the oldest at the Konoha's orphanage and he goes to the all boys' school with Shikamaru, Neji, Gaara, Sai, and I. Kiba met him once while coming to pick us up from the school. Yuki and Kiba never really got along."

"Really? I never knew… It's funny, you've been friends with Kiba the longest even though he goes to a public school and you go to an all boys' school. I know how two met, but still… life's strange in certain ways." Sakura smiled sweetly at the raven and blushed at the smirk she received back. "So… friends?"

Sasuke thought about it for a minute before smiling softly. "Yeah. Where's Lee? Is he here?"

"No, I said that Ino and I were having a girl's day out. So he and Kiba went to the arcade. They're actually getting along," she replied. "Shall we go find Ino and Naruto?"

"Yeah, who knows what that dobe might be doing," Sasuke agreed, going the direction Ino and Naruto went. They passed the girl section of clothing, seeing not one blond head, and onto the bra and underwear section. They were not ready for what greeted their eyes when they saw both the blonds in a pink section of bras.

Naruto had a small bra, a rather pointy one, around his head, making it look like he had pink ears and one around his torso, making it look he had invisible boobs. Ino was laughing her ass off as the blond man was doing some kind of ritual about bras, dancing around a stack of bras and chanting something ridiculous. Ino was one the floor by then holding her stomach as the blond man continued.

Not wanting any more attention drawn on them, Sasuke quickly walked up behind Naruto and snapped the back of the bra, most likely leaving a small welt on the blond's back. Naruto yelped in pain and spun around to see an embarrassed Sasuke and blushing Sakura behind him. Naruto smiled sheepishly at them and took off the bras quickly, putting them back on their hangers.

"Naruto… do I want to know what you were doing?" Sasuke questioned, head shaking slowly and eyes closed, hands on his hips.

"You probably don't…" Naruto replied with a bright blush. He quickly looked at his watch and faked gasped. "Well what do you know; it's already one-o-clock. Sasuke, don't you have that presentation in fifteen minutes?" Sasuke gave the blond an odd look before remembering that he really did have a presentation to give in fifteen minutes.

"Shit, I forgot about that…" Sasuke hissed and grabbed Naruto's arm, dragging him back out of the mall. "Nice to see you again Ino. Bye Sakura," he said over his shoulder.

The two girls giggled and made their way out of the bra section of the small store and into the bathing suit section.


It was somewhere after four and Sasuke was back to freaking out about the party that night. He and Naruto were going to face his parents and tell them everything. He knew what was going to happen; his parents would disown him and kick him out. What if Itachi confessed also and was kicked out also. It'd be weird living with your boyfriend in an orphanage along with your brother and his boyfriend.

Since they left the store a little earlier than they wanted to and didn't get a tux for Naruto, Sasuke let Naruto borrow one of his. When the rave saw that it fit the blond perfectly-in more ways than one-, he wanted to rip the blond out of it and take him hard on the floor of the blond's room-where they were at that moment. But he restrained himself, not wanting to scare the blond.

The party started at six, little than two hours away, and Sasuke was about to have a melt down. Naruto didn't do anything, amused by it all. The raven was freaking out over nothing… well; it might be a big thing to Sasuke, but not to Naruto. If the raven's parents really loved him, then he had nothing to worry about. But if they did kick him out, then Sasuke could live with him.

But after another forty-five minutes of Sasuke pacing back and forth, Naruto was finally fed up and smacked the raven in the back of the head, earning a glare from Sasuke. "Calm down Sasuke," Naruto said through a chuckle. "Everything will be alright."

"Calm down? I'm about to face my parents and tell them I've been dating a man that's five years older than me and plan to have sex with him sometime! How can I calm down?! You haven't met my parents yet, so you have no idea what they're gonna do!" Great, he was rambling. He always did when he was nervous and tended to get out of hand sometimes. "They might disown me and kick me-"

Naruto cut off the raven's rant with his lips, kissing Sasuke lightly. Sasuke sighed and calmed down some as Naruto pulled away. "Sasuke… calm down. If they really love you, they won't disown you. And if they do, then you can live with me. I already said that you could. I'm proud of you for going up to your parents tonight and telling them the truth about us. I'll be there every step of the way, ok?"

Sasuke nodded and took a deep breath. "Ok."

"Good. Now you need to get dressed and ready. We only have half an hour until six." Naruto his back to the raven as he picked up the raven's tux on his bed that Sasuke had bought at the store that day, handing it over to his lover. "I can't wait to see you in a tux; I bet it'll look sexy."

"Like it does on you?" Sasuke replied with a teasing smirk. "Tomorrow will be Friday and I'll be turning eighteen; I'll finally be able to have you. And luckily my parents are going to be gone from Friday to Monday."

"Hmm, seems like someone finally calmed down," Naruto grinned, walking into his bathroom to fix his hair, already having his tux on. Sasuke took the time to put on his tux and was putting on his jacket by the time Naruto walked out of the bathroom with his hair gelled and combed back. It wasn't its spiky self anymore; it was tamed and pulled back, only a few stray hairs popped out in the front and touch his forehead.

"You look sexy," Sasuke stated with a smirk, buttoning his black jacket. Naruto went over to help and tied on the raven's bowtie quickly. "Should I fix my hair?"

"No need to, you're sexy as it is." Naruto sealed his lips over the raven's, opening his mouth as Sasuke's tongue swept across his lips, asking for entrance. Before it could get heated, Naruto pulled back and gave one last peck before heading out of his room and into his car outside. Sasuke shook his head and followed.


"Wow," Naruto said in awe at how huge Sasuke's house was. It was more like a mansion than a house. "This is where you live? I had no idea." The two walked side by side to the entrance where many other people were entering as well. A few people Naruto recognized, but had no idea who the others were.

"Yeah, too big for four people," Sasuke replied with a grunt. Naruto glanced at his boyfriend, but ignore the grunt. As they entered, quite a few people greeted the raven and the raven greeted back, as did Naruto. They greeted Shikamaru, who had Yuki at his side, Kiba-Sasuke having invited him yesterday-with Hinata at his side, and Neji, who was talking to Sai at the moment. The brunette must have invited the annoying teen along.

And finally, Gaara, who was standing by himself by the food table, a glass of wine in his hand. Naruto immediately ran over to greet him, having taken a liking to him before. Gaara gave a small smile at the blond and soon greeted the raven. Sasuke was surprised at what the redhead was wearing and not really used to it since the teen usually wears all black.

Gaara was wearing a white tux with a crimson red bowtie. His usually untamed hair was combed back like Naruto's and his heavy eyeliner was gone, showing normal eyes that weren't hidden by a heavy line of black. The kanji tattoo of love that was on his forehead was covered up by cover-up and almost seemed… normal.

Gaara caught the stare and grunted. "Temari's doing. She threatened to cut off my balls and feed them to Kiba's dogs if I didn't dress normal." The redhead scoffed before growing a smirk on his lips. "I can tell that you're going to tell your parents about you and Naruto, right?"

Sasuke nodded nervously. "Yeah. Do you know where they are? I want to get this over with."

"Then why don't you announce it to everyone, that way the word can get around faster," Shikamaru suggested, coming from behind the raven and blond. Yuki nodded in agreement and blushed nervously at Naruto.

"That might be a better idea than going up to my parents and I don't have to keep telling everyone that it's true," Sasuke agreed, reasoning out his options. Naruto was worried at first, but soon agreed also. Taking a glass from of the butlers who was holding a tray of beverages, Sasuke clinked a fork on it to gather everyone's attention as he stood on a chair. His parents having stopped their conversation with Mr. Subaku, Gaara's father. "Um, excuse me everyone… I have an announcement to make. Some might think it's wrong and disgusting, but I think its right and don't care what you think."

Naruto stood beside him and urged Sasuke to keep going. Sasuke grabbed his hand, confusing everyone and startling Mikoto and Fugaku. "I am no longer single and am in love with this man right here. His name is Naruto Uzimaki and he is very important to me. He has stayed beside for little over a month and has shown me what it's like to be happy. That's all I have to say." Sasuke stepped off the chair and started making his way to the front door, but was stopped by an angry Fugaku and a worried Mikoto.

"You lied to us and are dating a boy?!" Fugaku bellowed angrily. "If you're gay then get out and never come back." The man pointed his finger towards the door and waited for the raven to get out of his sight.

"Gladly," Sasuke replied with a blank face. He was about to walk out the door with Naruto behind him, but a gentle and small hand grabbed his elbow to stop him. Looking back, Sasuke was surprised to see his mother smiling sadly at him.

"Sasuke, don't go," was all she said, earning an angry from her husband.

"Don't go?! He's confused and delusional! He doesn't deserve to live in this house! This'll be bad for the company!" Fugaku yelled angrily. But his anger soon turned into surprise when that soft, gentle hand slapped him across the face harshly, eyes glaring into his.

"How can you say that?! He's our son and deserves our respect! I love him just the way he is! And if you don't, then… I'm leaving you and going with my sons," she replied harshly, standing by Sasuke's side.

"Our sons? Is Itachi gay too?!"

"Yes, he told me this morning. So what will it be? Your business or us?" Mikoto stared at her husband intently, waiting for a reply of some kind. "Who's more important? Subaku or your family?"

Fugaku thought it over for several moments before sighing, his anger dissipating into thin air. "My family. My family is more important than some company. I'm sorry Mikoto and Sasuke. Naruto?"

Naruto gave the Uchiha his full attention and gulped. "Yes?"

"Take care of Sasuke, understand?"

The blond gave a wide grin and nodded. "Yes sir. Thank you for giving your son to me. He's a great man and works hard for what he earns. He earned my love in spite of that. I love you too Sasuke, by the way." Naruto grinned at his lover and held his hand. Sasuke smiled back with a blush.

"Shall this party continue?" Fugaku asked with a small smile of his own. Sasuke chuckled and nodded.
