Love & Truth
15. Bad Ones, Good Ones
(Ayame-san's POV)
„Ayame-san!" I heard my name called, when I was picking Haru up from his friend's place.
„Naruto-san." I said back, looking at the blonde owner of the voice.
When Naruto-san came to me, he was hand-in-hand with his raven-haired boyfriend. He seemed completely thrilled by his presence.
„You're Sasuke-san... I believe. My name is Ayame." I said, reaching my hand out to the raven. He looked at it as if it would bite him, but then Naruto-san gave a well-aimed punch to his ribs, and so he reached his hand out also, to shake with mine.
„You're Nee-chan's "beloved"?" Haru asked all of sudden.
I mentally punched myself for forgetting about my own child even for a second.
Naruto-san blushed at the, question, Sasuke-san only smirked.
„And if I yes?"
„She was crying a lot because of you!" Haru grunted, pointing at the man.
However what he did next took us completely off guard.
He actually went and kicked the raven hard into his shin.
„Bad beloved."
As Sasuke-san hissed, Naruto-san started laughing out loud.
„Well-aimed one..." He said between his laughing fits. „But don't do that anymore, please." He added smiling kindly, lowering himself to Haru's level. „He's a good guy."
Haru pouted, not wanting to accept that.
„Anyway, Sasuke, this little, adorable, sweetheart you see here is Haru."
Sasuke-san growled at what Naruto-san called Haru, but stayed silent except for that.
„And Haru, this is Uchiha Sasuke. He's my "beloved" as you say. And since he said he'll stay here for the time being, he won't make me cry anymore. Say hello to him."
Haru still did not respond, and soon Naruto-san started to sob.
'Mood swings...' I thought bitterly.
„Come on, Haru..." I said to the little boy I called my child. „See, you're making Naruto-san cry... You want to be the bad guy now?"
That convinced Haru, as he came back to the reality, to the very crying Naruto-san.
„Nee-chan... don't cry." He pleaded. „I'm sorry."
When that did not seem to work, he came to more-than-twice-as-big Sasuke-san, who tried to calm Naruto-san down, and held out his hand.
„Hello... I'm Haru." He said, still a bit grumpy.
„Hello, little guy." Sasuke-san smiled in response.
Naruto-san's face lit up at the simple exchange of words.
As she suddenly started crying again, out of happiness she said, I sighed.
„Come visit us sometime... Now I recommend rest for him." I said to Sasuke-san.
„We'll come. Thanks for the offer." he said in response, taking the sobbing blonde in his arms, heading to their home.
„At least it will be more peaceful for her now." I thought as I took still a bit shocked Haru by the hand and we walked home.
„I'm not a bad guy... am I?" He asked with his childish innocence.
„No you're not." I said smiling, reassuring him like that.
As we went through the city I noticed familiar man, heading in the direction of our house also.
'... but this one is.'

Ayame never liked Kirai.
She simply could not stand how he looked at certain things... or people.
Her husband, Takeo, also had few things to say about his friend's behaviour. That did not stop him from associating with him, sadly enough.
And so, when Ayame saw Kirai heading to their house, she was not very pleased. She knew that there is something terribly wrong with the man.
She silently watched his conversation with Takeo.
Kirai, as always, showed his displeasure about Naruto, also blaming him for Sasuke's absence in the village, which was true, but not in the way Kirai interpreted it.
She wondered, whether tearing that man's head off would look as beautifully as it did in her mind.
In the end she decided not to try it, and simply waited until he left.
She just hoped that she won't see him for some time.
Fate had something else in the store, though.

(Sasuke's POV)
„You really should get some sleep." I said, wrapping my arms around dobe, who was, at that moment, working on a new picture.
„I want to have this one done before I go to sleep." He said absent-mindedly, not lifting his eyes from the paper.
I had to smile at the sight of the picture.
It was a picture of both of us, completely smashed, trying to get home from Sakura's and Lee's engagement party. It was a bit overdone, but it pretty much portrayed what led to us.
„We should thank the two for that sometimes." I chuckled.
Dobe only nodded slightly, smiling, yet he still concentrated on the picture.
I only kissed him atop his sunny hair and waited. There was not too much left of the picture, after all. And I had plans for when his attention will be on me again.
It took only few more minutes, and dobe finished last touches, claiming the picture as done.
„You really have some skill, I have to admit." I said, as I looked at the picture. It was nothing too detailed, but it nicely showed our states at that night.
„Only that bottle was not there." I pointed out. The "me" was holding a bottle in the picture, making me look even more smashed than dobe and way more than I actually was back then.
„Aw, come one, if I did not add it there, it would have looked as if someone attacked you in an alley." Dobe laughed.
I had to agree on that.
Naruto then went and put the picture on one of the shelves in the kitchen. A shelf where alcohol would normally be stacked, probably. There was none however, as dobe was not allowed to drink, in his condition, and I simply was not in the mood for it.
When Naruto returned, I wrapped him in my embrace once more, trailing kisses down his long, beautiful neck.
It did not take too long, and we came from few gentle kisses, to breathtaking, lust-filled ones, while leading our steps into the bedroom. And after that it did not take much longer, and I had completely naked dobe under me already, all heated up and begging for more.
I traced his body with kisses and every now and then left a possessive mark on his beautiful, tanned skin.
'He really is more than one could wish for.' I had to think as I looked at him, wriggling sweetly. 'I'm sort of glad that not many can see that.'
As I attacked his sensitive skin along his inner thighs, he moaned softly, thoroughly enjoying it.
I took my time preparing him, as I did not want to hurt him. I earned very pleasurable sounds from him by doing that.
Once I positioned myself at dobe's entrance and slowly entered him, his eyes were getting a hazed look which meant he was loosing himself in it. How I loved seeing that look.
I was soon enough loosing myself in that delicious heat of his also.
Naruto lowered his head and arched upwards as I hit his sweet spot, which made the pleasure explode throughout his body, his breathing heaving, moans getting louder.
It did not take much longer and he came, with a helpless cry of intense pleasure, screaming my name.
After few more thrusts I filled him with the intensity of my love for him, earning another blissful groan from him. I then dropped down beside him, pulling him into a kiss, as I saw his consciousness slip, with a content smile on his lips.
I took his hand in mine, intertwining our fingers, enjoying the simplicity of the contact.
And like that, still steadying my breath, I soon let myself fall asleep also.

(Ayame-san's POV)
Haru looked at me as I came from the market.
„Did something good happen, mama?" He asked innocently.
I guess I must have been still grinning.
„It's just that I saw Sasuke-san in the village..."
„And?"
„I saw him enter the jeweller's shop... and he looked very secretive about it." I chuckled. I had a very good idea about the reason for that.
„And is that a good thing mama?" Haru asked, looking at me cutely.
„It is sweetheart... It's a very good thing."
„So he won't hurt nee-chan again?" Haru still referred to Naruto-san as his sister. The blonde himself did not seem to mind, when we met with them last time, so I let it be.
„With this?.. No... He will just prove me that he means the exact opposite of hurting Naruto-san." I had to smile, seeing how confused he was about this. „Just wait, nee-chan will tell you later."

To say that Naruto was happy would be an understatement. He felt as if earth had become paradise, wanting to blabber about his happiness to the whole world. At the same time however, he was struck speechless.
He looked at the raven, who kneeled before him, not being able to say even one word.
'D-did he just say what I think he did?' circled in blonde's head furiously.
Just as the raven was getting nervous about unresponsiveness of his hopefully to be fiancé, he got jumped at.
„Yes!" The blonde exclaimed, crying tears of happiness, showering the raven with hundreds of kisses.
Sasuke sighed, partly in relief, partly because most of the air was squeezed out of his lungs, but he did not seem to mind that much. After all, it was what he wanted. And to say that he did not expect such a response even in the least would have been a lie. And so he simply hugged the overjoyed blonde back, only pulling back after a moment.
Taking Naruto's hand in his he slipped the ring onto the slim finger. He then took Naruto's face into his palms, so he would look into his eyes.
„I love you. I want to spend my life with you. I want you to think of that every time you look at that ring."
Naruto blushed, blinking back the happy tears that were gathering in the corners of his eyes.
„I love you, too. I want you to never forget that." He then whispered back, leaning into Sasuke's palm, looking straight into the raven's eyes.
As onyx black met sky blue it was as if one wanted to melt into other's. It was as if the connection between the two deepened, if that was even possible.
Basking in each other's presence like this for a while, Sasuke leaned closer to Naruto and placed a chaste kiss upon his lips. It was just a simple touch of lips, yet it had the depth both craved for, as if they were sealing an unsaid deal.
„And what should we do now?" Naruto asked hesitantly, after a while passed.
Sasuke looked at his still blushing lover, and now fiancé.
„Now?" He asked, raising one of his eye-brows „Now my dear little dobe..." He paused to place a hungrier kiss onto blonde's lips. „Now is the time to celebrate." He chuckled as he slipped his hand under the orange shirt of his soon-to-be-official partner for life.
The petit blonde did not seem to have anything against it.

When Naruto woke up the following day, after enjoying Sasuke's calm sleeping features, the first place where his eyes went were to his left ring finger.
'It's still there.' He thought, still not quite believing it. 'It wasn't a dream.'
He looked at the engagement ring, enthralled by its small shiny stones, the metallic gleam... He was mesmerized by the simple fact that it was there.
'The hell must be freezing over.' He thought to himself, caressing the ring softly.
As he looked at the ring, captivated by it, tears started to well up in his eyes.
'It's too good to be truth.' He sniffed, waiting for someone to come and end this perfect dream of his.
No one like that came, though.
However when was Naruto too busy to notice, Sasuke woke up. Looking at his crying lover he frowne and sneaked closer, wrapping the distressed blonde in an embrace.
„What is it?" He asked softly, worrying.
„Is this a dream? Tell me..." The pregnant boy sniffed, wrapping his arms around his swollen mid-section.
„Silly dobe." Sasuke smiled, pinching Naruto's cheek softly then kissing it. „See? It's real..." He said, placing his arms atop Naruto's. „Just as they are."
Naruto grinned and kissed the raven back.
„Thank you..."
„What for?"
„For everything."

However not everyone's morning was nice and shiny.
Under a certain cave, in its dungeon, was a young woman, screaming for help.
She screamed so much, that she thought her vocal chords might just crumble, yet no one heard her.
Little did she know, just how far people who would be able to help her are. In her nearest surroundings, sadly enough for her, were none.
Everyone who was in her closest vicinity was enjoying her suffering.
And so with her chakra suppressed, and her things taken, the woman had no means of escape.
She was sure she would die. After all that was what they brought her there for.
To kill her as first of nine sacrifices that are to be done.
Done~
