I hate, crashed computers…

I hate it even more to rewrite a chapter of 3828 words… so please don't blame if you don't like this chapter, I don't like to rewrite, nor to work on way to slow computers of others! :( …XD

OOOOOOOOO

Naruto let himself fall on the ground with an groan. He ruffled his own hair and closed his eyes. Sasuke gave him a quick look before he placed himself next to the blond and looked at the sky. "I'm really happy to be able to do this with you." Naruto sighed, a smile appearing on his face. Sasuke cocked his head and looked at Naruto.

"Really?"

"yeah…"

"Oh. Why are we lying here? Aren't we suppose to meet the others?"

Naruto snickered. "Don't worry, I'm waiting for the next guy. He's always on his way to the training fields round this time. He'll arrive any moment."

"Who is it?" Sasuke, looking around. "Shino, a guy who's obsessed with bugs."

Sasuke's eyes widened, he slowly turned his head towards Naruto. "what?" he asked. Hoping, no praying that what Naruto had said wasn't true. The blond opened one of his eyes, then opened both to gave Sasuke a look. Naruto got up, leaning on his elbows.

"Shino fights with bugs." The blond stated, wondering how Sasuke would react. Sasuke swallowed loudly and he turned away from Naruto's amused gaze. Unconsciously a shiver ran up Sasuke spine and he shivered.

"Sasuke." Naruto asked, causing the raven to flinch. "Are you scared of bugs?"

"No."

Naruto snickered, causing Sasuke to send him a glare. Sasuke rolled his eyes and turned away from Naruto again, pretending to be on the lookout. Naruto suppressed another snicker. The great Sasuke, the ice prince adored by hundred of girls, was afraid of bugs. Not being scared of a nine tailed demon, but scared of a thing not even as big as your finger and it's moving. Yeah, this was something to tell his kids.

Naruto's amused expression suddenly turned dark. This did mean that old Sasuke also had been afraid of bugs? No, right? Cause, if he had, he surely hadn't showed it. Then again, Sasuke was an expert in hiding his emotions. Naruto let the subject in his head drop, not in the mood to even think about it. He needed to stay in the present, even thought the past haunted him like crazy. It was like the past was there, following him in the form of Sasuke. It cut him like a knife, yet it made him feeling the warmth he longed for.

Sasuke looked at Naruto's closed eyes, wondering what the blond was thinking about, when the calmed expression turned serious, thoughtful. It made the raven want to comfort him, saying it would be alright. But deep inside, he knew that he couldn't make it true, the empty promises that he would say. Naruto had lost his best friend, his rival. Sasuke was nothing but just a empty replacement, a doll with a blank sheet.

Suddenly the blond opened his eyes and sat straight, looking somewhere past Sasuke, to some trees. Sasuke flinched off the sudden action and immediately turned around to look behind him. A person appeared on the horizon, a fair distance away.

Naruto stood an dusted of some imaginary dirt. Sasuke followed his actions and looked from the blond to the black dot in distance. Naruto rolled his eyes and placed two fingers in his mouth, whistling a high tune for three times.

Sasuke covered his ears with his hands, and sent the chuckling blond a glare. "Thanks for the warning, Naru- Aaah!" Sasuke yelled when suddenly a person appeared in front of him. Sasuke fell backwards and landed on his butt. He let out a groan.

"Sorry." A low voice muttered and a hand reached out for him. Sasuke took it and stood straight again, allowing him a good look at the stranger. He raised an eyebrow. Only the part of his eyes was visible and his hands. The rest of his body was covered with clothes. Dark round sunglasses covered his eyes, making you wonder if he was looking at you or not. Naruto looked at the semi surprised face of Sasuke and the unreadable expression of Shino. Mostly because he face wasn't visible. "Hello, you must be Shino." Sasuke said. Shino nodded. Then he turned to Naruto. "When did he come back?"

Naruto gave Shino a smile and mouthed a thanks. Shino was behaving like a normal person and actually talking, this would Sasuke, hopefully, less nervous. "Euh, a few days ago."

Shino nodded once again. Sasuke raised his eyebrow. This guy, was fighting with bugs? Well he had the same creepiness surrounding him…maybe Naruto just wanted to scare him, make him nervous to have a god laugh out of it later…The raven shot Naruto a look before he turned to Shino. "So, Shino, do you use bugs when fighting?" he asked, hoping to sound indifferent about the whole thing. Shino looked at him, or at least, that's what Sasuke thought. Stupid sunglasses. "Yes. My technique involves bugs. I can fight without them but then I would be in a big disadvantage."

Sasuke was sure that would be the longest sentence he would get from the boy. Shino raised one of his perfectly hidden eyebrows when Sasuke tried to hide the shiver. "Are you scared of bugs?" he asked.

Naruto gave Sasuke a look, something between surprise and a smirk. How would the boy react on this? Besides, why did he even ask, wasn't something that Sasuke would do…

"N-No, I just find them creepy!" Sasuke denied loudly. Naruto and Shino gave each other a look, before they looked at Sasuke again. "What?! I just find them creepy, I am not...Pfft, did you really think? Nah, of course not! I-I'm not scared of them! Stop looking at me like that!"

Shino suddenly raised his arm, causing Sasuke to flinch, before he pointed at Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke then felt it. Something on his shoulder. Naruto had a hard time holding his laughter when Sasuke turned his head a little bit to be able to look at his shoulder. That, on this moment, was being occupied by a small beetle. A small black beetle. With six legs. And Sasuke would swear; It was looking at him. Those creepy black voids, were looking at him. Sasuke turned his head back to Shino, slowly, like he was afraid that the monster would jump him and eat him alive if he made any sudden movements.



Sasuke took a shaky breath, determined not to cry because this thing would jump any moment on his face, devoting his whole insect being to give him some creepy disease or something. Sasuke now let out some hiccups, the first stage before crying. His eyes started to water and an unconscious shiver crept down his whole body. Sasuke let out a wine and looked with his pleading look at Shino.

Shino, the white knight in his armor, stood in front of Sasuke and touched with his hand Sasuke shoulder. He made a beckoning move with his head and the beetle crept up his sleeve. Shino placed his hand back in his pocket and took a step backwards. "it's okay now." He said in an almost bored like tone. Sasuke took a deep breath and couldn't stop staring at the arm where the beetle had disappeared in the sleeve.

"You okay, Sasuke?" Naruto asked, swallowing a laughing fit, because actually he did feel a little bit sympathy for the boy. But still, this was the first time he had seen Sasuke with that expression and for some reason, it was almost comical that Sasuke actually had that expression in his arsenal. It hadn't been very Sasuke like.

The boy slowly nodded, while he pointed at Shino's arm. "Is that …thing in your sleeve?"

"No, he's in me now."

Sasuke wanted to ask, what the hell that meant when suddenly a hand covered his mouth. Naruto shook his head and shot Shino a warning glare. "Sasuke, we've got to go. I saw Shikamaru walking over there. We're going to miss him!"

Before Shino or Sasuke could register what happened Naruto was already pulling Sasuke to town. Sasuke gave Shino one last smile before he turned around the corner. Shino gave a pathetic wave back and then let out a sigh. Then he shook his head and continued his way to the training grounds again.

OOOOOOOOO

Shino was bored. Very bored. The pen that was stuck between two fingers struck the desk every second indicating that Shino wasn't able to think of something. Anything to put in the mission report. It wasn't like he had forgotten, not at all. But on such a lovely day, the mood to write a dull mission report just wasn't there.

And it surely wasn't helping that there was a distraction, sitting on the couch, reading a book unaware of the lustful eyes roaming over him. Suddenly the sound emitting from the pen hitting the desk stopped. A small smirk displayed itself on Shino's face. No, the raven had no idea of what was coming to him.

Shino faced with his back to the innocent raven, but every time he looked up he could see the distraction in the reflection of the computer screen. So why would he even consider looking down to the form!?

Sasuke turned the page, determined to find out what would happen with the main character. The tension was getting heavier and heavier and Sasuke couldn't get his eyes of the next word. So when something brushed against his left foot, he absently moved his leg and continued to read. Nothing was going to stop him from reading.

The raven grunted when he felt something crawl up his arm. He slapped his hand on the spot, his eyes focused on the book, and let out a soft grunt. His lips mouthed the words. 

When something crept over his shoulder blade into his neck, the raven grunted and reached with his hand to the tingly spot, but soon the feeling disappeared. Sasuke tore his eyes away from his book and looked to the study, seeing Shino write the report. Sasuke wasn't stupid, he knew what a sexually frustrated Shino could do to him.

The raven stood up from his spot and closed the study room, never paying attention to the questioning look of Shino and went back to his spot on the comfortable couch.

Two minutes passed before something in his neck decided to tickle in his neck. Sasuke slapped the bug away with his hand and scared the door by giving it a hard glare. Sasuke tried to relax again when he something was in his neck, again. Reaching his neck with his hand, he suddenly stopped his movements. Before Sasuke could even slap it away, it had crawled into his t-shirt. Immediately tensing up, the raven could feel it move. Down and down, until it reached the waistline of his pants. It stopped. In a flash Sasuke stood up and practically tore the t-shirt form his body, slamming his hands where he could feel the bug.

Panting and blushing, the raven stood in the middle of the room, also smirking because of his victory. His back was bug free. So that gave him a moment to realize two bugs decide to crawl up his legs and disappear in his pants. A, not so manly, scream escaped from Sasuke and quickly he removed his pants, relieved that the two bugs disappeared with the pants.

Sasuke looked around, gave a small glare to the door and then walked towards it. But before his hand reached the door it went open and he walked into Shino. "My, my, what's this Sasuke? Eager aren't we?"

Sasuke took a step back and gritted his teeth. "what the hell are you talking about?! Keep your bugs away from me, you sexually frustrated beetle!"

Shino merely raised an eyebrow, indicating that he was immune to Sasuke's death glare. The raven turned around with a huff and grabbed his clothes from the floor. "stupid, Shino-sama." He murmured. Two strong hands wrapped around his waist and soft kiss was planted on his shoulder blade. "I love you." Was whispered into his ear. Sasuke felt the heat rise in his body. "…s-stop it."

"I love you so much, Sasuke."

"Stop i-it!"

But the hold only became tighter. Sasuke felt himself lean into the touch, unable to resist anymore. "…Sasuke." God, only the way he said his name made him love him even more.

"Let's go to the bedroom, you're already undressed, aren't you?" Shino gently tugged on the black boxers his lover was wearing.

God, he hated him. Perverted idiotic grasshopper…

OOOOOOOOO



Shikamaru, knew something was wrong. He could just feel it, dangerously hanging in the air. On the moment he turned around, he heard someone call his name. "Hey, Shikamaru! Wait up!"

Shikamaru let out a sigh, but turned around anyway and lifted his hand in something that resembled a wave. Naruto waved back. Shikamaru looked at Sasuke, wondering if the rumors about the raven that spread fast round Konoha were true. Shikamaru really wondered if the raven acted …cute. Like Kiba had said it.

Before his trail of thoughts could continue it was stopped when Naruto and Sasuke stood in front of him, smiling. Well, Naruto was anyway. "Hey Shikamaru."

"Hey, Naruto." Shikamaru replied. He gave Sasuke a small glance before he turned to Naruto again. "When did he return?"

Naruto, a little bit taken back by the fact that the question was directed at him but recovered fast. "a couple of days ago. He stayed in the hospital for a day or three I think. But I'm not sure."

"Is it true that he doesn't remember a thing?" Shikamaru asked, still ignoring Sasuke. Naruto shook his head. "No, he does see flashes thought and words, but their all vague and so short that their gone before he can realize it."

Shikamaru nodded, shot the half hidden raven a glance and focused on Naruto again. Shikamaru smirked when he noticed the raven was pouting. Well, Sasuke was actually glaring but it was more cute then scary. "So, did you meet everyone?"

"Nah, we still got to meet with a couple more, Sai, Kakashi and Sakura again, since she hasn't seen Sasuke for two days and it is also her teammate."

"Worst for the last, ne?" Shikamaru said, rolling his eyes at the thought. Naruto let out a frustrated groan. "please, don't make me remember! You're the first person who I can speak with without the weird stares or perverted glares at Sasuke, well, Shino was normal. But then again, I don't know what's normal for him…I mean, even Ten Ten made this comment about me and Sasuke being together!"

Shikamaru let out a snicker. "troublesome."

"I'm glad though, that nobody's asking questions. I really was afraid that I wouldn't get one moment of peace."

"Nobody's been asking questions because Hokage-sama requested that."

Naruto blinked before he snickered. "Guess, that hag is good for something after all."

The lazy boy paused for a moment, looking at the sky before his eyes met Naruto's again. "Have you told him about it yet?"

Sasuke didn't like the question. He could feel Naruto tense under the question and his expression darkened. Shikamaru looked serious now, after a moment of silence he grabbed a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. Sasuke gave Naruto a concerned look when the blond stayed silent. "Naruto-sama?"



"Sasuke…" Naruto hesitated for a moment, he glanced at Sasuke before diverting his eyes to Shikamaru. "Can you please go home, I will follow you in a moment."

Sasuke frowned. He gave Shikamaru a hard glare, clearly indicating that he thought it was his fault. Then he gave Naruto's hand a squeeze. "Please come back soon, Naruto-sama." Naruto nodded and gave the raven a smile, but Sasuke knew it was fake. When Sasuke disappeared around the corner, Naruto gave Shikamaru a look. "Couldn't you have asked a different time? Now he will ask me all about it."

Shikamaru blew out a stream of smoke and shrugged. "when would you've told him if I didn't start?"

Naruto flinched at the question, his hands turned into fists. "…never."

Shikamaru sighed and leaned against the wall. "I was one of the few that knew of your relationship and you being gay. I doubt the others knew but those who knew are going to ask the same question."

"why would I tell him? He lost every memory of me and everything." Naruto hissed.

Shikamaru looked away. "So you weren't going to tell him something this important?"

"Important? More important than he fact his whole family was killed by his brother, that it came out that after he killed his brother it was all for the good of Konoha? That he actually planned to destroy Konoha because that was what it all started? How can some simple relationship be more important than that?"

Shikamaru sighed. "you know as well as I do, that if you tell him that he might get a shock or his amnesia would return. Still, I don't think it would be such a surprise if you told him that you where in a relationship."

Naruto gritted his teeth. "…Do you have any idea how hard it is, that I'm the only one of us who remembers our love?"

"So, you're just going to pretend it never happened, because Sasuke forgot? You were in love. Are you just going to deny that it ever was there?"

Naruto smashed his fist in the wall. "Shut up! It's not like I wished for this! Do you really think that I'm such a masochist? That I actually love getting hurt over and over again?!"

Shikamaru didn't even open his eyes to look at Naruto and silently took another haul from his cigarette. "do you love him?" The words cut through the silence like a knife and Naruto tensed at the question.

"…yes."

"Tell him."

After those words the boy turned away from Naruto and walked away, leaving the blond alone with himself. Naruto looked somewhere between torn and confused. And he felt just like that inside. He let his body fall against the brick wall and looked up to the sky.

"Lazy ass…"

Shikamaru smiled at the soft words and kept on walking, he doubted that Naruto knew that he had heard them.

OOOOOOOOO

Shikamaru looked at the sky. He came back from a mission of three days and he missed Konoha. But he especially had missed his wife. Shikamaru let out a content sigh. Ah, he missed the home made meals, his newspaper and their play of Shogi or Go in the evening when the sun would set. So when the lazy boy grabbed the key of his front door, he was very happy that he got back.

"I'm home!" he shouted. Ah, the sweet scent of curry met him and Shikamaru couldn't help but smile.

"welcome home!" his wife shouted back. A raven appeared in front of him, with a newspaper in his hands and a pair of slippers. Shikamaru accepted the newspaper, placed his sandals on the mat and put on the slippers that the raven placed in front of him. The raven wanted to walk back to the kitchen, but he was stopped.

"You look very cute in a pink apron, …Sasuke." The raven received a small kiss on his lips and then his husband walked to the living room, reading until dinner was ready. Sasuke cupped the cheek with his hand and then walked to the kitchen, hoping that Shikamaru wouldn't catch him blushing, over something like that. Shikamaru smirked. His raven looked so cute when he was blushing.

Later that night, when Shikamaru and Sasuke where playing some Shogi, the raven noticed something. And not just something, Shikamaru hadn't used his right arm. Or at least, not so much. Sasuke placed one of the wooden pieces on a spot and then glared at the shoulder, hoping to look the answer out of it.

Shikamaru, being the smartass that he was, already noticed the worried look on Sasuke's face and sighed. "I just dislocated it yesterday and it still hurts a little." He said when he kicked on of Sasuke's pieces of the board.

Sasuke looked up, a little bit shocked and then looked away for Shikamaru's piercing eyes. "Can …can I take a look at it?" Sasuke whispered, the hands on his lap turning in fists. Shikamaru nodded and started to clean up the board. It was useless to continue the game when Sasuke wasn't focused and Shikamaru hated when the raven was worried over him like that. Sasuke helped him and together they walked to the bed room.

Shikamaru took of his vest and shirt. He just couldn't suppress a smirk when Sasuke came out of the bathroom with the first aid kit and immediately became red. Sasuke kneeled down by Shikamaru and examined the wound while Shikamaru looked down and unconsciously licked his lips.

He grabbed Sasuke wrist and in one swift movement pulled him onto the bed, pinning the raven under his own body. "w-what…?" was the only thing that could leave Sasuke's mouth. Shikamaru breathed in his ear and the raven shuddered. "in that apron, not only it looks like you aren't wearing anything underneath it, but it also looks fucking sexy…"

Sasuke's face became even redder and he turned away form Shikamaru's gaze, which was filled with lust. A gentle, strong, warm hand sneaked its way up from Sasuke leg to his thigh and Shikamaru softly pressed his lips on the pink lips underneath him. Soon he felt arms wrapped around his neck, desperately to make more contact between their bodies.



Ah, yes, Shikamaru now was sure that he had missed his wife. He always missed the home made meals, his newspaper and their play of Shogi or Go in the evening when the sun would set. But more importantly, he missed what would happen in the evening after that…

OOOOOOOOO
