Chapter Text

"Hi" Sasuke said, sounding more vulnerable than he would have cared to admit.

Naruto shot up, suddenly feeling very awake and very sober for someone with his current blood alcohol content.

Naruto had honestly thought he was dreaming and grabbed a pillow to cuddle with or something, but that voice made his eyes snap open.

He knew that voice so well that he could apparently recognize it in a drunken sleep.

Naruto was sitting up in his bed now, the comforter pooling around his waist as he stared incredulously at Sasuke.

Sasuke slowly sat up with minimal grunting, it wasn't exactly easy for him move around nowadays.

Sasuke had been about to apologize when suddenly Naruto lunged forward and pulled the surprised omega into his lap, wrapping his arms around him.

Sasuke could hear Naruto enhale deeply with his head tucked into the crook of Sasuke's neck, probably to convince himself that Sasuke was really here. This wouldn't have been the first time he's 'seen' Sasuke while he was asleep only to wake up to a disappointingly empty bed.

Sasuke tucked his arms under Naruto's and splayed his hands out on his back, sinking in the feeling of the warm and soft tanned skin underneath his fingertips.

Naruto placed a kiss on the scent gland that now only held his mark once again, causing Sasuke to let out a shaky breath. He was still paranoid of Orochimaru's scent somehow lingering.

Naruto used the hand that was playing with Sasuke's hair to gently pull the omega's head back, but still keept him in his arms.

Naruto just studied his face, as if he's disappear the second he took his blue eyes off of Sasuke.

Sasuke stared back, taking note of the darkened circles underneath those stupidly blue eyes. He had never seen Naruto with any serious amount of stubble before, the closest thing to whiskers he'd ever had on his face were the three marks that he had on each cheek, but here he was, looking exhausted and scruffy.

Sasuke parted his lips to speak but then Naruto brought them back together, desperately pressing their lips together.

Sasuke would have been shocked if he hadn't been dreaming of this for months. He returned the kiss, but instead of it growing hungrier, it got slower.

The kiss was slow and deep, Naruto licking into his mouth with long, precise strokes like he was trying to memorize Sasuke's taste.

Naruto used his arms that were around Sasuke's no longer slim waist to pull him forward, not used to the fact that their chests didn't lay flush anymore.

When Sasuke was moved closer to Naruto, he felt his ass brush over the hard on being confined by the thin sweatpants hanging from Naruto's hips.

Not that Sasuke had any issue with Naruto ravishing him, he just had a feeling that isn't what this was about. Naruto was putting everything that he had into the kiss. Sasuke was sure that some grand declaration of love wouldn't have meant as much as that kiss.

Sasuke matched Naruto's desperation for closeness.

After the last three months Sasuke didn't think he'd ever let his omega back into the driver's seat again out of fear, but Naruto just made him forget everything that he thought he had wanted. Naruto showed him what Sasuke needed, and Sasuke's body listened.

Naruto carefully laid Sasuke down on his back, his lips never straying from his.

Naruto laid off to the side to avoid putting pressure onto Sasuke's expanded midsection and let his hands travel up and down Sasuke's body on their own accord.

The alpha had a need to refamilarize himself with Sasuke's body after not seeing him for so long and after the obvious changes.

Sasuke's head was spinning as Naruto groaned into his mouth as he explored every inch of him, pulling breathy moans from the omega.

Sasuke didn't even register that he had been stripped of his clothes at some point until Naruto finally pulled away from Sasuke's mouth to trail kisses down the sensitive skin on the side of his neck.

He stopped and spent his time to place kisses and gentle bites to the mark adorning Sasuke's scent gland, practically drowning the alpha in his scent.

He could go on some tangent about how he smelled like lavender, rain, a soft summer's day or some shit like that, but Naruto was never one for poetry and Sasuke honestly just smelled like pure desire at this point.

Naruto felt delicate fingers tangle in his hair as he continued to slowly kiss over every inch of Sasuke's exposed skin, running his hands over him until his fingers would never forget the plains they were exploring.

Sasuke was a panting mess, becoming more unraveled with each kiss and every brush of fingers.

When Naruto reached Sasuke's stomach he had spent more time there than anywhere else.

He ran his large hands over it in awe.

After a kiss was placed right above Sasuke's naval he whispered, "I'm here".

Sasuke felt his eyes water at hearing Naruto's real voice again for the first time in so long. Those were the only words that he had spoken since he'd uttered a garbled version of Sasuke's name in a voice so groggy with sleep that it hadn't sounded like his.

Sasuke honestly didn't know if the words were meant for him or not, probably not, but the thought of having them be for him pulled at his heart strings almost as much as them being for their daughter did.

Sasuke knew that he owed Naruto the biggest apology known to mankind and that they needed to talk, but somewhere along the way Naruto's fingers had thoroughly stretched him. Sasuke knew that it was probably a mistake, but all that mattered to him in that moment was Naruto slowly rocking into him.

They may have only been together for a few months, but in that relatively short amount of time they had an insane amount of sex, like dirty, rough sex, but this was on an entirely different level.

It wasn't fast or rough, yet Sasuke was still left breathless and clawing at Naruto's back to ground himself from the insurmountable pleasure coursing through his sensitive body.

This was the quietest they had ever been in bed, their mouths too occupied in what seemed to be a never ending kiss, only small moans escaping them.

Naruto's thrusts stayed just as slow, but he started to pull further back until just his tip remained in Sasuke, then slamming forward with considerable force, groaning every time his cock made contact with Sasuke's prostate.

Sasuke was so close, he had managed to hold out in order to savor the moment, but there was no way he could stave off his orgasm for much longer.

He bit Naruto's lip to try and contain his cries, not wanting to break the beautifully intense atmosphere they'd created as Naruto continued to torturously drag his cock in and out of him.

Naruto recognized the telltale signs of Sasuke's impending orgasm and finally broke their heated kiss. His eyes snapped open and locked onto Sasuke's.

Sasuke let out a gasp at the sudden eye contact, the first time it'd happened since all of this started, and openly stared at the beautiful man hovering over him. His eyes were as gorgeous as ever, but there was something different about them; they were an unreadable amalgamation of emotions.

Naruto gave a particularly hard thrust, followed by him grinding into Sasuke when their hips met and nodded at the omega.

Naruto's breathing had become labored and Sasuke knew that he was close, but he was too much of gentlemen to shoot off first, without knowing if Sasuke would be following soon after.

Sasuke's body eagerly gave in to Naruto's request as he nodded back before he pulled Naruto down for another kiss to stiffle his broken moans.

Naruto gave a final, brutal thrust as his knot pushed through Sasuke's tight entrance.

Naruto let out low growl as he came as deep in Sasuke as he could manage.

The second that Sasuke had felt Naruto's knot his back arched as much as it could in this position. He clung to the alpha as he came between them, his orgasm somehow feeling more intense than the the night they'd met.

They broke their kiss once again seeing as how they were both in desperate need of catching their breath, and breathing through their noses just wasn't cutting it.

Naruto's gaze lingered on Sasuke for a moment, and Sasuke's blissed out mind seemed to forget that he had just put the man through three months of hell.

Sasuke opened his mouth to start to say something, he didn't know exactly what, but just something.

Naruto's eyes showed a quick flash of anger before he turned his head unbelievably fast, effectively silencing Sasuke.

The omega closed his mouth and focused on regulating his breathing instead of the ache he felt spreading in his chest.

Naruto gently maneuvered them so that they were laying on their sides so that they could comfortably wait for Naruto's knot to go down.

With Sasuke's back facing Naruto's chest he was obviously unable to see the blonde's face.

This gave Sasuke the courage to finally speak up.

"I'm sorry" he whispered.

Apparently he had whispered it to himself though, because right after he'd said it Naruto had started softly snoring again.

Sasuke felt a pang in his chest at Naruto's disregard for his normal affection after sex.

He used to always kiss him, tell him he was gorgeous and that he loved him so much, but now he barely had his arm draped over the omega while being as far away as possible from him while they were still tied.

Not like I deserve his affection after how I treated him.

No matter how troubling the lack of contact was for Sasuke, being with his alpha and surrounded by his alpha's soothing scent was forcing his eyelids shut as he drifted off to sleep.

-

Naruto blinked his eyes open and groaned, hit with the instant splitting headache from his hangover, his new morning routine.

He was facing the large window of his bedroom and cursed himself for not investing in some blackout curtains; the light seeping through his curtains felt like it was burning his retinas.

He swung his legs over the edge of the bed and got up, realizing that he was no longer wearing the sweatpants he had fallen asleep in.

He thought it was strange, but didn't get too much time to dwell on it before his nose picked up on a scent that had long since left his apartment.

He turned around way to fast for someone sporting a hangover of this magnitude and stumbled a little from dizziness.

His lips parted in shock at the sight of impossibly black hair peaking out from the blankets where it was sprawled out across his pillow.

He thought it'd been a cruel dream, it wouldn't have been the first, but Sasuke was here.

Naruto scurried off to the attached bathroom to splash some water on his face, instantly noticing the angry scratch marks marring his shoulders when he looked in the mirror.

He turned around to inspect them further. His back was covered in red lines, confirming that none of what had happened last night was a dream.

Sasuke was really here.

Naruto's brain couldn't process this, he doubted that it could even if he was at his full capacity.

He brushed his teeth to get the taste of Sasuke laced with bourbon out of his mouth, it was clouding his mind.

The blonde threw on a clean pair of sweats and sat down in the chair beside his bed.

He didn't know what the hell to do. He had longed to have Sasuke here for the last three months, but now that he actually was, Naruto was torn between chewing him out and forgiving him like he hadn't left his life at all.

Naruto was angry, but his inner alpha wanted nothing more than to soothe his omega. However, his own dignity was not so kind. He didn't deserve the last three months and he was jaded because of it.

His mind swam with all of his possible actions, but he found himself reluctant to act on any of them.

Sasuke's scent that now permeated his room was compelling him to stay with him, so he just sat.

He realized how weird it was to just sit and stare at someone while they slept, but seeing Sasuke's face in person was surreal for him.

He was sleeping peacefully, but he still looked the same. Naruto didn't really know what else he had expected. Maybe at the very least for Sasuke to not have cheekbones sharp enough to cut glass anymore because of the pregnancy? But he looked exactly the same.

Naruto found himself getting angry at how fine Sasuke looked. Naruto himself was a fucking mess and it clearly showed, yet here Sasuke was, looking like he got a full eight hours a night and was just peachy with how things had been.

The alpha had to tear his gaze away from the beautiful face of his omega. He stood with a huff and decided to pull his shit together.

He took a shower and shaved, looking somewhat like himself again. The only thing ruining the thought was the dark circles under his eyes and the dullness in the blue that hadn't been there four months ago.

He began cooking breakfast, his body feeling like shit from the constant neglect from the last few months, figuring that Sasuke would be hungry as well when he woke up.

If they were going to talk, he knew that Sasuke being hungry would just make things harder than they needed to be.

He was in the middle of flipping a pancake when he heard tentative footsteps on the wood floor.

He could feel his muscles tense as Sasuke's scent became stronger, but other than that, he didn't move.

He heard the footsteps getting closer until they stopped and Naruto couldn't even smell the pancakes over the omega's scent.

Naruto's head was held high as he stared straight ahead at the backslash behind the stove, his jaw squared as Sasuke carefully reached out to touch his arm.

Naruto saw it out if his peripheral vision and flinched away from the gentle touch as soon as it happened.

"Don't" he said in a clipped tone.

Sasuke snatched his hand back like he'd been burned, but the tone that Naruto spoke to him in made him feel like he really had been.

"I- I wasn-" he started before Naruto suddenly faced him with a look akin to disgust on his face.

It made Sasuke want to cower away. He had never felt so weak in his life.

"Don't think you can just show back up after three months and have things back to the way they were" he seethed.

Sasuke had never seen Naruto speak to anyone in that tone, much less him. His eyes were wide with fear from being rejected so coldly.

He knew he had no right to have expected differently, but it didn't make the blow any easier to handle.

He turned his head, subconsciously baring his neck as he nodded.

Naruto could smell the fear radiating off of Sasuke, and as much as he wasn't happy with him, he never wanted his mate to fear him.

"Grab a plate and get some food. We can talk after you eat" he said as he motioned to the plates of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and toast on the counter.

"Bu-" Sasuke started. He didn't want to wait. He couldn't stand the anxiety of not knowing where they stood, which was ironic considering that is exactly how Naruto felt.

"We will talk after you eat" Naruto said in his alpha tone. He didn't do it strong enough to really compell Sasuke, just enough to show him how serious he was.

Sasuke stiffened and nodded, heading to grab a plate from the cabinet and loading himself a plateful.

Naruto turned his head the slightest bit, not able to help himself.

Sasuke was waddling and he had helped himself to one of the shirts from Naruto's closet. He was in just his panties and the shirt, much like how he always used to lounge around the house.

He looked so fucking cute, and the sight of his stomach made Naruto's breath hitch.

I've missed so much.

He turned away to avoid getting angry enough for Sasuke to sense it and flipped the now burned pancake.

Naruto finished cooking and sat down across from Sasuke at the table, but couldn't bring himself to look at him. They ate in tense silence, Naruto only being able to eat a few bites. He spent the rest of the time just picking at one of the pancakes with his fork.

"Thank you for breakfast" Sasuke said as he set his fork down on his now empty plate.

Naruto didn't say anything, just raised his head to finally look at Sasuke.

"What the fuck, Sasuke?" He said, not really knowing where else to start.

Sasuke's eyes widened, not expecting to jump right into it after Naruto's initial reaction to him bringing it up.

"I meant to come over earlier" he said, not really thinking that Naruto was upset at the time in which he had chosen to just pop in.

"After three months you thought that it was okay to just crawl into my bed?" He asked, his tone demanding an answer.

"I'm sorry" Sasuke said as he looked down at the table.

"You're sorry? For what exactly? For leaving me in the dark for three months? For completely shutting me out? For leaving me absolutely miserable?" Naruto asked spitefully.

"I didn't mean to. I wanted to come back, I wanted to so much, but I couldn't. I kept replaying that look you gave me in the hospital in my head and I thought you were disgusted by me. I couldn't handle the thought of you just throwing me away because of that disgusting mark" Sasuke answered honestly.

He raised his head to look at Naruto again. As much as he really didn't want to see the hurt and anger in his face, he couldn't back down after giving up for so long.

Naruto let out a shaky breath.

"I was never disgusted with you, I love you. I should've kept myself in check, but that was my initial reaction to smelling another alpha on you. I'll apologize for that, but you literally just disappeared. If it wasn't for your brother and mom I wouldn't have known if you were even still alive" he said.

It hurt Naruto to think that he had done anything to make Sasuke believe that he was disgusted by him, but he knew he needed to stand his ground. He had every right to be as pissed as he was.

"I didn't know how to fight it" Sasuke supplied weakly.

He knew it was a cop out, but looking back at, he literally couldn't bring himself to reach out.

"I get that it was traumatic, I really do. Itachi and Shisui explained everything to me, so I understood why you did it, for a while, but you could have a least talked to me! You could've answered any one of my texts! I was fine with giving you space, but you literally just cut me out of your life completely! Was it just that easy for you?" Naruto asked, his voice a mixture of pain and anger.

"None of it was easy for me! I literally just laid on my couch all day, surrounded by your shirts for some level of comfort that never came" Sasuke replied.

Naruto felt his heart break a little at the thought of Sasuke just curled up on his couch day after day, but then he remembered that he had been in the same damn boat.

"Yet you still did it! I looked like a fucking fool just waiting for you to come over or call. Every single day I waited for you to just fucking talk to me, but you never did! Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to know that you were hurting and that there was nothing that I could do about it because you wouldn't even let me try!?" Naruto said, taking a deep breath to calm himself.

"Then you sent your brother here. I was so excited when I heard the doorbell, I was an idiot and thought it was you. Then I open the door and see Itachi, but the worst part is that I could smell you on him. It was faint, but it just drove me even crazier. When he handed me the keys to your Escalade I thought that was it, that you were done with me for good. He told me that it wasn't that, but how the hell else am I supposed to take it when you won't answer my calls or texts? I was in limbo for weeks after that, not knowing where we stood" Naruto said, sounding much more hurt than angry.

"I-I didn't feel like I deserved it. I couldn't stand the thought of having anything like that from you when I was hurting you. I knew I had to be hurting you, but I just kept doing it. I felt so selfish and couldn't bring myself to keep it, but then you wouldn't take it back. I felt like an even shittier person after that. I just knew that I don't deserve you" Sasuke replied.

"Yet here I am. I put up with your shit because I wouldn't give up on you because I fucking love you, but you're not wrong. I didn't deserve that, any of it, Sasuke" Naruto said, stone faced and looking right in Sasuke's eyes.

Sasuke held his breath. He had a feeling that the end was near; Naruto was going to break up with him and he knew that there was nothing that he could say or do to stop it. He deserved it.

Sasuke instantly felt defensive, a rather unfortunate coping mechanism of his. If he could go down swinging as a bitch then it would soften the blow. It always worked for him the past, its how he had managed to get himself to believe that he didn't really need people to get by.

He forbid himself from acknowledging that his situation with Naruto was so incredibly different than any of the others in his past. He knew that no matter what he did it would hurt, it would hurt like hell. He thought it was at least worth a shot for the sake of self preservation.

"You left me too! You walked away and fucked any skank willing to jump on your dick, remember?" Sasuke spit as he stood up and leaned over the table as much as he could, trying to get in Naruto's face.

Naruto was taken aback, as snippy as Sasuke usually was with everyone, he had never experienced it to this extent.

The omega's eyes were fierce and his words were laced with an unreal amount of anger.

Sasuke was like a cornered snake, not really knowing what else to do but bite back.

"Oh, don't even give me that shit! You know exactly why I walked away! It was for this exact same reason! You pushed me away and it made me feel like shit, just like you did for the last. three. months. You didn't care about how it'd effect me to be away from my pregnant mate. You're a selfish prick" Naruto bit out, not wavering in the slightest.

"I went through hell! I was forcibly marked by some fucking creep that always harassed me at work and you want to go and give me shit for not getting over it according to your desired time frame!? Fuck you, Naruto! You're just as selfish!" Sasuke shouted, no longer able to keep his emotions contained.

"Of course I don't fault you for what happened, but I am allowed to take issue with how you handled it. Just because it is understandable doesn't make it right" Naruto said as he ran his hands over his face and sighed.

"You can't have it both ways, Sasuke. If you want to have an actual relationship, it can't always be just what you want. You needed space? Cool, I could've understood that, but you just vanished. You wouldn't even tell me how our baby was doing. You literally didn't give a shit how any of it affected me" Naruto added, trailing off like hearing his words out loud caused him physical pain.

"I'm not good with this feeling shit" Sasuke said as he sat back down, feeling entirely defeated and drained.

"So fucking what!? You're an adult, and if you want to be in an adult relationship, cop outs like that don't work. You have to trust me enough to get over it. I know you think that you're some kind of sociopathic robot incapable of feelings, but I know that's a crock of shit" Naruto replied.

Sasuke just stared at Naruto for a few moments. What the hell was he supposed to say to that? He literally always acted like he was unable to feel real emotions because up until a few moths ago, he had thought that it was true!

But now he felt things, a lot of things, and it was because of the dumbass blonde in front of him that he loved more than was comfortable with.

He made up his mind, he wasn't going to push back until Naruto got fed up anymore. He took a deep breath, feeling like he was literally swallowing his pride.

"I- I just need to not fight my omega so much anymore. I never trusted anyone enough to work on it with them, but I trust you. I want to work on it with you, please let me. I'm sorry, Naruto" Sasuke said softly.

It was Naruto's turn to be shocked. He never thought he'd see the day where Sasuke Uchiha pleaded for anything.

Even the last time they had to make up, Sasuke had more or less demanded that Naruto come back, but now he was begging for Naruto's forgiveness.

Naruto wanted for that to be the end of it, just kiss and make up so that he didn't have to see his omega looking so small and fearful, but he had to be honest.

"But I don't trust you" Naruto said as he turned his head, unable to keep their gaze when Sasuke's eyes widened a little.

Sasuke didn't respond, he had laid it all out on the table and it still wasn't enough. He understood, but it didn't make him any happier about the outcome.

He silently got up and went to retrieve his pants from wherever they'd been thrown in Naruto's room.

He had gotten his answer.

As he was struggling to pull the stretchy material over his legs, Naruto appeared in the doorway, leaning on the doorframe.

The alpha had his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes on the floor.

"If you leave again, thats it; I'm done. I'm not going to sit around and wait for you to decide that you want to be with me" he deadpaned.

Sasuke stood and pulled up his leggings, looking directly at Naruto, soaking in what he thought would be the last time that he ever got to see him like this.

"Well you made it pretty clear that you don't want to be with me. You don't trust me, and I understand why, but what else is there for us if you don't trust me?" Sasuke asked, wondering why Naruto was dragging this out longer than necessary when he'd clearly made up his mind already.

"Do you love me?" Naruto asked.

"What?" Sasuke asked. Its not like he didn't hear the man, he just didn't understand why he had been asked such a stupid question.

"Do you love me?" Naruto asked again, pushing himself off of the doorframe and coming to stand right in front of Sasuke.

He had finally brought his eyes to Sasuke's again, and there was no more anger tainting that lovely shade of blue. Now they just looked nervous and uncertain.

Naruto genuinely didn't know Sasuke's answer to that question anymore, and that hurt the omega more than anything else.

"I love you very much" Sasuke answered earnestly.

"Then don't walk out on me again. I said I don't trust you, not that I want to call it quits. We can work on things if you don't shut me out" Naruto said.

He's not leaving! He's not leaving! The fucker isn't leaving me!

Sasuke had a hard time processing what the fuck Naruto had said, his mind overwhelmed with happiness?

Is this what actual happiness feels like?

He thought back on all the times Naruto had actually managed to get a genuine laugh out of him, the times they'd spent cuddled up after sex, the times spent with their friends, and came to the conclusion that yes. Yes, this was happiness.

God, he was a fucking mess. A year ago he would have gagged at the thought of this clichè romance novel bullshit, but now he was about to cry. He hated that he didn't hate it.

Things were easier without feelings.

But now things were so much better with them.

"So you aren't done with me?" Sasuke asked hopefully.

"No, you idiot. I don't want to be done with you" Naruto said, a small smile pulled at his lips.

It was the first smile Sasuke had seen on that handsome face since he'd gotten here. It wasn't his usual blinding smile, but it was enough to make Sasuke forget about his embarrassment from being so emotional. It was all worth it.

Sasuke stepped even closer to Naruto, watching his face for any signs of resistance, but when he found none, he wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck.

Naruto took a second, but he eventually brought his arms around Sasuke, using his hands to rub his back in the way that always made Sasuke purr.

Naruto to a deep breath to steady himself and enhale Sasuke's scent that had finally gone back to normal.

Naruto hadn't been this at peace for months.

"I missed you" Naruto whispered.

"I missed you too" Sasuke responded.

Apparently their daughter would be taking after Sasuke in the emotion department, because when the moment started to become too sappy, she gave a rather strong kick.

With Sasuke's stomach pressed against Naruto's, Naruto felt the sudden pressure and jerked back to look at Sasuke with wide eyes.

"Sorry, she does that a lot" Sasuke explained, feeling self conscious for some unexplainable reason.

"She kicked! I felt her kick!" Naruto said, sounding absolutely in awe as he sunk down to his knees to press his hands to Sasuke's belly.

Sasuke didn't really see the big deal at first, he was so used to her kicks by now. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks; Naruto hadn't gotten the chance to feel her kick before. He had robbed the alpha of that opportunity.

He felt his eyes water, but pushed it away for the moment. Naruto was getting to experience this now, and that's what mattered. He didn't want to ruin it by thinking about that, he'd have plenty of time to make up for it later.

"Its your daddy! Come on, give me another one!" Naruto urged excitedly.

Sasuke felt her run a hand or a foot along his stomach and watched as Naruto's face contorted into an amusing combination of confusion and happiness.

"She just dragged what I'm guessing is her foot based on her position" Sasuke explained.

Naruto flashed him that thousand watt smile that he'd missed so much before bringing his attention back to Sasuke's adorable baby bump.

"I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately, but you'd better get used to my voice. According to your mother, I never shut up" he said as he placed a kiss where she had dragged her foot.

She gave a much softer kick this time and Naruto looked over the damn moon.

For the next twenty minutes all Naruto had talked about was how his daughter had basically given him a kiss back, and proudly stated that she was clearly going to be a daddy's girl.

Sasuke and Naruto had just laid down on the large bed so that Naruto could spend as much time as he wanted talking to their daughter, but eventually their exhaustion from the last three months caught up with them.

Naruto had been the first to pass out, his head still resting right against Sasuke's stomach. The sight warmed Sasuke's cold heart, so much so, that he didn't force Naruto to get up when he started to drool on him the tiniest bit.

Sasuke let his eyelids close when they started to get heavy, his hand still in Naruto's hair.

-

"I really am sorry" Sasuke said as they laid on the couch watching a movie that neither of them payed any mind to.

Naruto was sitting up at the end of the large sectional with Sasuke laying down with his head in the alpha's lap as Naruto played with the jet black hair.

"So you've said" Naruto said in an amused tone.

Its not like things were tense or awkward, they were actually fairly comfortable, but there was just something the slightest bit off.

Sasuke knew that it was just the repercussions from his monumental fuck up. It would've been unrealistic for him to expect it to be exactly the same. It would take time for the looming darkness to fully fade, but at least now, Sasuke was hopeful that it eventually would.

Still, he couldn't stop apologizing. After the fifteenth time since their fight, Naruto had stopped accepting them, he found the profuse apologies rather amusing at this point.

Sasuke had thought of what he wanted to do to prove that he wouldn't run away anymore, but his plan would need to wait. He had just gotten his alpha back and wanted to soak it in a little bit before facing the real world again.

"What finally made your stubborn ass talk to me?" Naruto asked curiously.

The question had been in Naruto's head since he'd woken up, and his curiosity had finally gotten the best of him. If Itachi or his mother couldn't convince Sasuke, he wondered what was able to do the trick.

"Oh, uh, your mother" Sasuke said, not really expecting the question. He had thought Naruto was the one that'd sent her.

"My mom?" Naruto asked, clearly not expected that answer.

So it wasn't him? Then who the fu- Itachi!

As happy as Sasuke was with the results, he really wished that his older brother would stay the hell out of his business sometimes. There was no way that it wasn't him. It explained why Itachi said he couldn't come over that day.

'I'm not feeling well and I don't want to risk getting you sick' my ass!

"Yeah, she came over and told me to get my shit together then threatened me if I ever hurt you again. Y'know, for someone always saying that my family is scary, your's can be just as bad" Sasuke said with a small laugh.

Sasuke heard Naruto chuckle.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I probably should have warned you about her. She's the sweetest lady, but she has one hell of a temper. You should see her swing a ladle, it's lethal" Naruto said fondly.

He had nothing but good childhood memories, but there had been a few times where he'd been on the receiving end of the 'wrath of Kushina' as his father liked to call it, and it was not fun.

"It's alright. It worked, didn't it? She just wanted to protect her baby boy" Sasuke said as he teased Naruto.

Naruto just rolled his eyes. Even though he was an alpha, and a huge one at that, and his mother was an omega, she always babied the hell out of him. He had hated it when he was a teenager, but as an adult he found it wasn't as annoying. She just loved him, and it warmed Naruto's heart to have such a protective mother. Plus, it was nice to know that he wasn't the only one with ferice backup in this relationship.

They fell back into their comfortable silence, Sasuke stirring anxiously every now and then.

Sasuke looked up at Naruto, mostly only seeing the underside of his defined jaw from his position, but he saw that it was clenched.

He tilted his head the slightes bit and saw the blonde's eyebrows knitted together.

"You shouldn't think too hard. You might short circuit" Sasuke teased dryly as he began to sit up.

Naruto snapped back and whined out, "Heyyy!"

"What's running through that ridiculously blonde head of yours now?" Sasuke asked.

He may have been teasing him, but he genuinely wanted to know. Sasuke was worried that Naruto was starting to regret his decision to stay with him.

"I was, uh, just wondering where we go from here?" Naruto said even though it sounded like more of a question.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked, still slightly on edge.

"Like, will you continue to work at the club?" Naruto asked anxiously.

Its not like he wanted to force Sasuke to quit or anything, but he had gotten to thinking about the two of them returning to their normal lives, and that meant Sasuke going back to the place where he'd been attacked. Naruto didn't think he needed protecting twenty four seven, and he trusted Ino enough, she had more than proven herself when she beat the shit of that creep, but the alpha in him couldn't help but worry.

What if he goes back and gets triggered back into isolating himself?

"To be honest I wasn't planning on it. I don't really have a plan at the moment, I'll probably just stay home with the baby for a while if you're alright with that. Itachi wants me avoiding stress, so I don't think the club is the best place for me right now" Sasuke answered with a shrug. He still got paid every two weeks from investing in the club, so he was set as far as money went.

Naruto instantly relaxed. The thought of Sasuke waiting for him at home with their daughter every night was definitely something he could get used to.

"That sounds good to me" Naruto said as they both relaxed again.

"Have you talked to Ino?" Naruto asked after a few moments, the question had suddenly popped into his head.

"A few times. She kept trying to talk to me about the creep, but I never wanted to hear it. She would come over once a week or so with Sakura" Sasuke answered.

Naruto tensed a little, wondering how much Ino had been able to tell him. He nodded and turned to look at Sasuke, really worried about setting him off.

"What'd she tell you?" He asked.

Sasuke gave him a look that told Naruto that he didn't want to talk about it, but he figured now was as good a time as any to work on the whole considering the other's feelings thing they'd discussed.

"Basically just what Itachi told me when I woke up after they sedated me. She told me her and Kiba beat the shit out of him, but when they were focused on getting me into the car so Shika and Sakura could take me to the hospital, he managed to get away" Sasuke said. He tried to come off as unbothered, but his tone had a certain edge to it that gave him away.

"Itachi didn't tell you?" He asked, almost in disbelief.

"Tell me what? I basically forbid him from talking to me about it, and he didn't want me any more stressed than I already was so he just let it be" Sasuke answered.

"He didn't get away" Naruto said.

Sasuke cocked his head, thoroughly confused. He wanted to say that he wasn't worried about the creepy reptile like alpha, but his omega definitely was. When you're told that the person who attacked you and damn near ruined your life is still just walking around, it doesn't exactly put a person at ease.

Naruto took a deep breath, not exactly proud of what he was about to say. He thought back to about five weeks ago, making sure to remember every detail so that Sasuke knew everything.

"Well, he did get away, but then he didn't"

"Naruto!" Neji yelled as he ran over to stop Naruto before he walked into his patient's room.

"Give me a sec. I need to see this patient real quick" he said, sounding disinterested, something that Naruto never was at work before. He had just been running on autopilot since Sasuke left.

"Tsunade wanted me to take over this one" he said anxiously as he tried to grab the chart in Naruto's hand.

Naruto just raised his brow.

"Pretty sure his chart says that he came in for shortness of breath and chest pain because he probably needs some stents replaced, either that or I need to get my prescription updated. I know its been a few years since med school, but that doesn't sound like Nuero to me" he said sarcastically.

Neji was a neurosurgeon, and nothing about this case pointed to Neji needing to be involved.

Neji honestly hadn't banked on Naruto actually reading the chart too thoroughly, most doctors wait for the patients to explain then check the chart for corroboration or missing details.

When Shikamaru called Neji to intervene, since Shikamaru was heading into the OR, he had just expected to grab the chart and pawn the patient off on another cardio specialist while they waited for the cops.

Seems like it wouldn't be that simple.

"Just trust me" Neji said seriously, his expression begging him to comply.

Naruto raised his brow again but handed the chart over nonetheless, not having the energy to fight anything anymore.

"Whatever you say, man" Naruto said as Neji let out a sigh of relief.

Naruto had still been confused by his friend's behavior as he turned back around to head back to the main desk for another chart.

For a second there Neji had thought everything would be fine, but then Naruto stopped dead in his tracks after a nurse stepped out of the room.

With the door open, the patient's scent had been able to flood out into the hallway.

Neji mentally face palmed then quickly went to block the door when Naruto spun around looking like a wild animal.

Naruto might have only had the chance to smell that scent for a few minutes before, but there was no way that he'd ever forget it.

It was the mother fucker that marked Sasuke!

Naruto started fighting to push past Neji, and while Neji was fairly muscular, he had no doubt that Naruto would eventually get past him.

Neji tried as best as he could to hold Naruto back, hoping to God that some form of help would get here soon.

Neji saw a group of nurses pass by, instantly picking up their pace at the terrifying sight of Naruto snarling.

"Tell nurse Hurano to get Kiba and Dr. Uchiha up here, now!" He shouted as he managed to break the death grip that Naruto had been using on the doorframe to try and push himself past Neji.

The nurses nodded and scurried away.

"Fucking let me go, Neji!" Naruto roared in his full alpha tone.

Neji felt his inner alpha start to get irritated at the tone that was directed at him, but he used that irritation as fuel to try and hold Naruto off just long enough until reinforcements showed up.

From over Neji's shoulder Naruto could see a pale man laying down on the hospital bed, asleep. He was probably on some form of pain management, because he had barely started to stir at the loud disturbance of Naruto and Neji's yelling.

"Naruto, calm down! You're in the hospital and he's a patient!" Neji pleaded, fairly certain that using reason was useless.

"Thats the piece of shit who marked Sasuke!" Naruto seethed as he managed to break free from Neji's hold and ducked under the other alpha's arm to get in the room.

Neji took a deep breath, really not wanting to have to do this.

Neji lunged forward and literally tackled Naruto to the floor, pinning his arms down with his hands, his knees trying to keep Naruto's legs down.

"I know, but are you really willing to lose your license over this!?" Neji yelled as he basically sat on Naruto's back, trying to use his weight to hold him down.

Neji wasn't there the night that Sasuke was marked, but Shikamaru had been on his way to the OR when Orochimaru was rolled past him by two nurses. He instantly recognized him, but when he'd heard that Natuto would be seeing him soon, he called Neji to run interference.

"Get the fuck off of me, Neji!" Naruto said again.

The blonde had taken to kicking and swinging his arms whenever Neji would lose his grip. When he was able to finally get both of his hands free at the same time, he planted them on the floor.

At that moment Orochimaru had regained consciousness, and even in his weakened state was able to recognize Naruto's scent as being the one that tainted his favorite dancer.

His lips grew into a disgusting smirk as he made eye contact with Naruto.

As far as Naruto was concerned, that had been the final nail in the coffin of his career. He used his hands to push himself up, easily sending Neji tumbling off to the side.

"You son of a bitch!" Naruto yelled in the other alpha's face as he yanked him into a sitting position by his long hair.

Orochimaru had too much confidence in Naruto caring more about his career than Sasuke to actually be scared. 'Do no harm' and all of that shit.

The snake just laughed groggily and asked, "How is my pretty little omega?"

Naruto lost it. Right as Neji got back up Naruto had landed the first punch to Orochimaru's shocked face.

The blonde just wailed on the defenseless alpha, not giving a single shit that it was anything but a fair fight.

Neji was fruitlessly trying to pry Naruto off of the already fragile man as he continued his onslaught.

"If you ever funding touch him again, I swear to fucking God! I'll end you!" Naruto shouted right as the sound of frantic footsteps could be heard by Neji.

He turned and saw Sakura, Kiba, Itachi, and Fugaku Uchiha standing in the door looking absolutely shocked.

Fugaku sprung into action immediately and began working on prying Naruto off by his other shoulder.

He turned to look at the other two alphas that were just standing in the doorway.

"You gonna help or not!?" He yelled, effectivly snapping the two out of their shock.

They stepped in and somehow managed to break Naruto's grip.

Itachi had Naruto's arms pinned to the floor while Neji and Kiba held down his legs and midsection.

Fugaku took a deep, steadying breath before he stood up from getting Naruto to the floor. He headed over to the bed, presumably to see if the alpha had survived the brutal beating.

That was not the case.

He threw a precise jab of his own right to the man's kidney, knowing just how much pain it would cause.

Orochimaru barley got out an 'oof' and a groan with how bad of shape he was in.

Fugaku then acted as if nothing had happened and checked his heart rate on the monitor, checking to see if he would survive.

He gave a disgusted hum when the alphas heart rate stopped climbing and grabbed his hair in a similar fashion to how Naruto had.

He leaned down and whispered, "You're going to pay for what you did to my son" in the most threatening tone anyone in that room had ever heard.

He threw Orochimaru's head back down to the thin mattress and looked at the four struggling alphas on the floor.

Naruto was still going wild and fighting, but the added weight seemed to be doing the trick in subduing him.

"Get him out of here and call Shisui. You and he need to meet down here as soon as possible. I'll handle everything else" he said to his eldest son.

Itachi nodded and the three alphas managed to drag Naruto out of the room as he fought to break free.

Fugaku then turned to Sakura who was still standing with her mouth hanging wide open at what she'd just seen.

"Has anyone called the police yet?" He asked.

She shook her head.

"Good. Don't let them. I'll handle this. Whatever you do, don't let anyone into this room" he commanded as he walked past her without a second look.

Naruto had finished his recounting of his rather shameful actions and saw that Sasuke looked shocked.

"They really didn't tell you?" Naruto asked, figuring that at least Itachi might have informed Sasuke that he would never have to see the man again.

"My father hit him for what he did to me? He actually cared?" Sasuke asked, not believing it.

"He does care about you, Sasuke. Like a lot. He basically threatened to blacklist me from ever working in the medical field if I ever mistreated you" he answered as he rubbed Sasuke's thigh while he processed the information.

Sasuke had thought that when he dropped out of medical school that that was it. That his father no longer cared about someone hurting him, but he did. He cared.

"Why was my father even there?" Sasuke asked.

"There was a meeting he had to attend that morning. He was with Itachi when Sakura called him. I guess they figured they needed all the help they could get to handle me" Naruto chuckled as his face heated up.

It wasn't that he regretted it persay, he just was embarrassed at how out of control he had gotten. Neji told him that he was surprised Naruto hadn't been foaming at the mouth with how crazy he'd gone.

"So what happened if he wouldn't let Sakura call the cops?" Sasuke asked.

"I honestly don't know. I was just told that he was gone. Your brother wouldn't tell me what happened or why they needed Shisui there. All I know is that they were able to get some answers after it" Naruto answered.

"What answers?" Sasuke asked. As far as he knew, there hadn't been any answers about the situation other than Orochimaru is a scum bag.

"Shisui said he was able to figure out why his mark actually took and why is lasted as long as did. It shouldn't have taken considering I'm a prime, but you being a prime and pregnant just made anything a possibility. At first he was under the impression that the guy was a prime as well, but it turns out that just he shot himself up with some chemical enhancement to make himself a stronger alpha" Naruto explained.

Pathetic.

"Steriods for alphas? They have that?" Sasuke asked.

Sasuke was far from uninformed and he had never heard of anything like that.

"No, there's no way it'd ever get approved. Alphas would be losing control left and right if something like that was readily available. He either had to have made it himself or got it illegally. Since I've never heard of anything like that actually working before, my money is on him making it himself" Naruto said.

"He owned a research lab or something, at least thats what he told me when he'd to try and impress me" Sasuke said with an eye roll.

Naruto nodded, to him that made sense. For any kind of supplement like that to actually work at all was surprising, so the man definitely needed to have some sort of lab at his disposal.

"Apparently thats part of why he was brought in. The nurse who triaged him told Itachi that some young omega with light blue hair and glasses brought him in because he had been having chest pains and passed out. I guess the guy was way older than he looked and had been taking whatever he'd made long enough for it to do permanent damage to his heart" Naruto said, shuddering at the thought of that man having a young omega with him.

Did he force the kid to be with him? What if their friends hadn't stopped the freak? Could that have been Sasuke?

"So he's just gone?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah. I didn't press it any further, your father is scary as shit" Naruto said.

"I'm taking it that my mother doesn't know?" Sasuke asked. He was fully aware of how easily his father could make someone disappear. A man as powerful and as wealthy as him would have no problem pulling strings and covering his bases. Sasuke just never thought that he'd go to all of that trouble on his behalf.

Naruto shook his head as he said, "As far as I know its just the people that were involved that know and my chief of surgery" Naruto said.

"The angry woman with the huge tits? Why the hell was she involved?" Sasuke asked.

His father was a smart man and Sasuke wasn't completely oblivious to the occasional sketchiness that he'd caught whispers of behind the scenes, but it didn't seem very smart to bring anyone that wasn't necessary.

"I'm guessing he needed her to make sure there was no record of him ever being there, and to make sure that I didn't get my license pulled" Naruto explained.

"You almost got your license revoked!?" Sasuke asked. As much as it warmed his heart to know that Naruto had 'defended his honor', he didn't want the alpha's career to go down the drain because of him.

"Well yeah, I was screaming and people heard. A few passed by to catch a glimpse of what the hell was going on. Your dad saved my ass, but Tsunade still had to save face and make it look at least a little believable. That's why she told me to take some time off and that if anyone at the hospital asked, to tell them that I was on administrative leave while awaiting a disciplinary hearing" Naruto said.

"So you didn't take time off because of me?" Sasuke asked, sounding a little relieved. At least that one little thing wasn't technically a result of Sasuke's self isolation.

Naruto let out a good natured scoff before he replied, "No. Working was the only thing keeping me away from a bender, hence why you found me the way you did".

"So do you not remember anything from last night?" Sasuke asked somewhat coldly.

He caught himself and offered a small smile. He had truly meant it when he said that he'd work on being more 'adult' about things, which meant no more reverting straight back to bitchiness when he got nervous.

"Not really. I remember enough though, and my back pretty much told me all I needed to know this morning" Naruto admitted as he rubbed the back of his neck. He was embarrassed at how pathetic he'd let himself get.

Sasuke's face took on a pink hue.

"Sorry about that" he said quietly, though his tone was doing nothing to convince Naruto.

"Honestly, feels kind of good to be sporting them once again. My back used to always be covered because of you" Naruto said fondly. There was a slight sadness hidden in his tone, no doubt from the implication of the drawn out break.

Sasuke just smiled up at Naruto, thrilled to have the blonde cracking jokes again, no matter how small. It gave Sasuke hope that the dark cloud looming over them would eventually fade.

A few minutes passed as they eased back into silence.

This time Naruto was sitting with his legs extended out on the couch while Sasuke sat between his legs with his back resting against Naruto's chest.

Sasuke just enjoyed the feeling of the firm muscles resting against his back, but then the question that he'd been itching to ask broke through.

"Do you regret it?" He suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Naruto asked. He had actually started watching what was on the television and didn't quite catch what Sasuke had said.

Sasuke sat up and turned, having to straddle Naruto's lap to do so now.

"Do you regret it? Last night?" He asked tentatively.

Naruto was mulling it over and Sasuke could tell. Naruto was trying to find the best way to convey how he felt about it without undoing all of the progress they had made this morning.

"Honestly, it probably would have been better to wait until after our discussion this morning" Naruto answered gently.

Sasuke nodded as he turned his head to the side. He was right, there was no denying it. Naruto didn't even fully remember it, so Sasuke understood where he was coming from, but it still didn't make him feel great to hear it out loud.

Naruto keyed in on the shift in Sasuke's scent and tried to find a way to recover. He didn't want Sasuke thinking that he regretted everything that had happened thus far.

"I'd been without my omega for three months and didn't even get the chance to really enjoy the make up sex" Naruto teased, his voice going the slightest bit lower.

Sasuke picked up on it and flicked his eyes over to Naruto, rasing a brow.

"Would you like to?" Sasuke asked, just testing the waters. He didn't want to put another crack in their still very fragile relationship.

Naruto took in a sharp breath, the offer was very tempting, but in doing so he had gotten a strong whiff of Sasuke's rapidly spiking scent.

Naruto let out a low groan, he hadn't had the pleasure of smelling that alluring scent in months.

"Its very tempting. I'm sure I was a sorry excuse for a lover with the state I was in last night" Naruto said with an embarrassed chuckle.

"It was actually really good. Different, but good" Sasuke said shyly.

It was strange, they had sex more times than either of them could count, but this all felt new.

Their first sexual encounter had been fueled by desperation and instincts so there hadn't been room for embarrassment.

It was exciting, as if this was an entirely new thing for them. To be fair, it kind of was; they had both gone through a fair amount of shit that had changed them.

"Yeah?" Naruto asked with a smirk. He looked up at Sasuke through his long, blonde tinted lashes.

Naruto was glad to hear that he hadn't been a complete disappointment, but he had a feeling that it had something to do with it being him and Sasuke.

Naruto had never been one to believe in the whole 'true mates' thing that was always in romance movies, but he couldn't deny that he thought Sasuke had been made specifically for him.

Sasuke nodded as his eyelids lowered the slightest bit and he got that devilish grin on his face. That grin always meant trouble for Naruto.

"You took me slower than normal, but sooo deep" Sasuke said sensually, biting his lip at the thought for that extra razzle dazzle.

Sasuke felt himself starting to get slick and he was already rock hard. He had never really had to seduce Naruto like this and it was clearly a newfound turn on for him.

It obviously was for Naruto too if the way his breath hitched was any indication.

"Your tongue never left my mouth and your huge cock was constantly hitting my sweet spot as it split me open" Sasuke said followed by a small, breathy moan as he started running his hands up his sides.

"Your groans were so hot. You were too focused on me to say anything, God it was so good. You made me cum so hard on your knot" Sasuke said as he threw his head back and pinched his nipples through his shirt.

Naruto couldn't take it anymore, his dick already throbbed in his sweatpants. He gripped Sasuke's hips, being sure to keep his hold gentle, and pulled him down into his lap, letting him feel just what the little minx was doing to him.

"I've missed you so much" Sasuke whispered, suddenly dropping the sedution act.

"I missed you too, then you show up looking like this" Naruto groaned out as he ran his hands over Sasuke's sides, smiling at how there was no longer a drastic dip in his waist.

"If you don't want to sleep with me because of, uh, how I look, I get it" Sasuke said as he turned his head in shame.

Its not that Sasuke found himself unattractive or anything, he just looked drastically different from what he was used to. He had never had to deal with insecurities all that often before, so he was kind of lost on how to actually handle it.

Naruto shushed him and brought Sasuke closer, kissing him slow and deep, much like their kiss from last night.

Naruto pulled back after a moment.

"Are you insane? You're so sexy like this. So full of my child. I'm tempted to keep you like this forever, full of my pups" he said as he ran his hands over the swell of his mate's stomach, a pleased growl rumbling in his chest.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, he knew it was just typical alpha instincts making him say it, but there was no way Sasuke would be one of those omegas that was constantly pregnant.

"Be happy you're even getting one" Sasuke said sternly.

"C'mon, I'm an only child and was always so jealous of kids with a bunch of siblings. I've always wanted a big family" Naruto said, kind of sounding like a child himself with his whining.

As much as Sasuke was not on board, it did make him happy to hear that Naruto saw them being together long enough for more children to be a possibility.

"You can't tell me you don't enjoy being so sensitive. I can already smell you getting wet for me" Naruto teased as he pulled Sasuke forward and began to trail feather light kisses down his neck.

"No, I don't" Sasuke lied.

He was constantly horny, even when he had been in his depression he had been desperate for his mate's knot, he just hadn't done anything about it.

While having Naruto back in his life offered a solution to his problem, it also just made his libido even higher.

"You're lying" Naruto sang out as he felt the goosebumps rising on Sasuke's thighs.

Sasuke mentally cursed his body for betraying him and Naruto for the smugness in his tone.

"Possi-" Sasuke started but couldn't finish when Naruto gave a rather harsh bite to his bond mark.

It wasn't hard enough to break the skin, but it had been enough to send Sasuke into a frenzy.

He felt like he was going into heat with how strong his omega had slammed into him with nothing but want.

Three months without really having his mate was making its toll known.

Sasuke felt too hot all of a sudden and had begun to breath heavily. He opened his eyes and let out a true omega whine as he soaked through his panties.

Naruto saw the red flash in Sasuke's eyes that appeared sometimes when he wouldn't fight his inner omega and knew that he had triggered it.

"Shit" Naruto said in shock.

He was turned on, but he honestly hadn't meant to trigger this strong of a reaction in Sasuke. His plan had been to ease Sasuke back into letting his omega out, not unintentionally forcing it right away.

"Please, alpha" Sasuke whimpered as he ground down into Naruto's hips, desperate for friction across his thinly covered entrance.

Naruto didn't want to tell Sasuke to slow down and come back down, he was worried that his inner omega would take it as a full blown rejection and force Naruto out again.

He knew the best thing was for him to give Sasuke's omega what it needed, but he needed to remain in control. He couldn't be rough like he usually was with Sasuke.

"You're alright, I'm here" Naruto whispered against Sasuke's lips before diving in for a kiss without even bothering to start off shy.

Naruto instantly pried Sasuke's lips open with his tongue and grabbed the back of his head to keep him as close as possible.

Sasuke mewled and pressed himself forward, clawing at Naruto's clothes in a febel attempt at removing them.

Naruto slid his hands under Sasuke's ass, making sure to take a moment to appreciate the fact that there was more to grab now, and began to stand up.

Sasuke pulled back, even though it was the last thing that he had wanted to do.

"You're not gonna be able to lift me" he said, an underlying tone of insecurity in his voice.

Naruto smirked before pressing a chaste kiss to Sasuke's lips.

He hoisted himself and Sasuke up, handling the weight with ease, but needing to adjust the slightest bit to account for Saske's baby bump.

"You were saying?" Naruto teased as he made his way to the bedroom.

Sasuke just buried his head into the crook of Naruto's neck, wanting to enhale the strong scent and to hide how flustered the show of strength had gotten him.

I really did get a god of an alpha.

Naruto placed Sasuke on his back directly in the center of the still unmade bed and admired his already far gone omega.

Sasuke's breathing was shallow and his pretty face was flushed as he squirmed under Naruto's gaze.

Naruto threw his shirt off before moving on to Sasuke's. He hadn't been able to just whisk it off over the omega's head like before, but he managed.

Naruto had to take a moment to compose himself at the sight of Sasuke all sprawled out on his bed in just a pair of dark red panties.

He really needed to control himself, but Sasuke was not making it easy for him.

"Fuck, Sasuke" Naruto groaned out.

The light flush fanning out across Sasuke's cheeks deepened into a full blown blush as he moved his hands to try and cover himself.

"Don't" Naruto said in his alpha tone. He didn't want Sasuke to feel like it was a command, but it pretty much was.

Sasuke's hands stilled right away.

"Don't hide from me. You're beautiful. So fucking beautiful, Sasuke. My perfect omega. All mine" Naruto said possessivly as he punctuated each word with a kiss to the inside of Sasuke's thighs.

Sasuke bit his lip to either stiffle his moans or bite back a sarcastic remark. Knowing Sasuke, Naruto was willing to bet that both options were correct.

Sasuke mewled at the praise as his fingers wound tightly in the messy mop of blonde hair that rested between his legs.

"How do you want it, Sasuke?" Naruto asked as he kissed the silk of Sasuke's panties, purposely landing it just shy of the omega's twitching cock.

"You want me to take you nice and slow?" Another kiss to the other hip. "Or do you want me to take you hard and fast like a slut?" This time Naruto gave a bite right above where Sasuke's cock was still confined.

Sasuke let out a frustrated whine and Naruto was pretty sure that he had heard his muffled answer, but he wanted to drag out the teasing as long as possible. Naruto loved how desperate Sasuke got after being teased.

"You're going to have to speak up, love" Naruto said as he flicked his eyes up to admire the sight of Sasuke all flushed and breathing shallowly as he gripped the sheets.

"Fuck, s-slow. Like last night, I need you to take me like you did last night!" Sasuke begged.

As much as Sasuke loved to be thoroughly wrecked by a good, rough fuck, he needed that same love and passion from last night while Naruto was actually cognizant.

"Good omega" Naruto said in a gravely tone as he rewarded Sasuke by licking a stripe up his cock through the blood red fabric.

Naruto admired the sight of Sasuke wincing in pleasure as he arched his back after finally getting some pressure to relieve the ache he felt in his dick, even if it was only for a second.

"Ah! Please alpha!" Sasuke moaned.

"Please what, Sasuke? I need you to use your words" Naruto teased after giving a harsh, wet suck to the covered head.

"More! I- I need more" Sasuke pleaded as he brought his own hands up to pinch his sensitive nipples. He just needed more.

"I want at least one orgasm out of you before I'm inside you. Think you can do that for me?" Naruto asked.

Naruto wanted to take his time and really get to know all of Sasuke again, seeing as how he had physically changed so much, but he also really wanted to feel him stretched around him. He would have to settle for minimal teasing for now until his desperation subsided.

"Anything, please alpha! Just more!" Sasuke begged, tears beginning to well in his eyes out of frustration and sensitivity.

"Say it" Naruto demanded as he looked up to Sasuke's eyes, suddenly looking like himself again.

It took Sasuke a few seconds to comprehend the words due to his lust riddled brain, but he eventually knew exactly what Naruto meant.

"I love you" Sasuke breathed out almost like a sigh of relief when Naruto instantly rewarded him by pulling out his cock and wrapping his lips around the head.

Sasuke groaned and tightened his hold on the sheets as Naruto swallowed around him, slowly taking all of him in.

Naruto may have been a novice when it came to giving head a few months ago, but ever since they'd found out just how much Sasuke liked it, he'd become quite good at it.

Sasuke let out a filthy moan that went straight to Naruto's dick when the blonde swirled his tongue around the shaft as he went up so that just the head remained in his mouth.

Naruto's eyes flicked up and he saw that Sasuke didn't know what to do with himself because of the pleasure he was giving him. If his mouth hadn't been busy, he would have smirked in satisfaction.

The alpha gripped Sasuke's delicate wrist and brought it to his hair, prompting Sasuke to grab it just like Naruto liked.

Sasuke didn't need any more encouragement as his other hand flew to the blonde locks and pulled.

Naruto groaned and started to bob his head, varying the level of suction as he went. The lewd sounds coming from his mouth as he sucked Sasuke for all of his worth were getting to them both.

He would stop at the head every once and a while to dip his skilled tongue into the slit, his eyes almost rolling back into his head at the saturated taste of Sasuke's precum.

"Yes, yes, yes! Just like that! Holy shit! Don't stop, don't fucking stop!" Sasuke moaned out as his body began to tense up.

Naruto knew exactly what that meant, and he wasn't going to stop, but he brought his fingers up between the beautifully pale thighs surrounding him and ran them through the slick that generously coated them.

He ran two fingers over Sasuke's drenched hole and applied some pressure, groaning at the fact that he was still somewhat stretched from last night.

Naruto didn't hesitate to press his two fingers in, crooking them in search of Sasuke's sweet spot.

Sasuke arched his back off of the bed and gasped at the sudden stretch.

"Fuck!" He shouted out, already so close to cumming.

Naruto worked his fingers into the tightness and found that sweet spot almost immediately. It was like muscle memory for him.

"There! Right fucking there!" Sasuke begged, pulling almost painfully on Naruto's hair.

Naruto obliged and began thrusting his fingers, being sure to hit that spot every time as he started to move along the cock in his mouth at a faster pace.

"Yes! Fucking hell, I'm cumming, I'm fuck- I'm cumming!" Sasuke chanted as he squirmed uncontrollably before every muscle in his body tensed.

Naruto felt Sasuke try to pull his head up, but Naruto just relaxed his throat and took Sasuke all the way down, almost choking on the forceful shots of cum that hit the back of his throat.

Once Sasuke was spent, Naruto slowly pulled off, but not before he gave a harsh suck to the head.

Sasuke was trying to regain his breath and whispering "Fuck" like it was the only word he knew.

Naruto crawled up his body, hovering over his mate's disheveled form.

"You okay?" Naruto asked as he slyly licked his lips.

There was just something about knowing that he was the only one that had ever gotten to see Sasuke in this state that got him off.

Sasuke took a steadying breath and nodded before grabbing the back of Naruto's head to pull him in for a kiss.

Sasuke wrapped himself around the alpha as his tongue slid along Naruto's. The omega ground his hips up and wasn't surprised to find that he was already hard again.

The excitement of getting Naruto's knot had only allowed him a few seconds in-between.

"I'm good, fuck. More than good" Sasuke said after pulling away from the kiss.

He wiggled his hips impatiently and whined, feeling far too empty for his liking.

Sasuke threw his head back to rest it on the pillow and looked up at the beautiful alpha on top of him.

"Already ready to go again?" Naruto teased as he gently ran his fingers over the hardness of Sasuke dick.

"Please" Sasuke groaned out as he bared his neck.

"Shh, I got you" Naruto whispered as he leaned down to press a sweet kiss to his mark.

Naruto circled Sasuke's entrance with his fingers as he peppered kisses across his chest, only to have Sasuke tell him to stop.

"Just fuck me, please. Need your knot" Sasuke said between breaths.

Naruto stopped and brought his hand up to turn Sasuke's head so that he could look at him.

"As much as I want to, I can't yet. I don't want to hurt you" Naruto said sweetly.

If Sasuke had been more Sasuke than omega right then, he would have rolled his eyes.

"I'm fine. I know you won't hurt me, alpha. Please" Sasuke whispered as he looked Naruto directly in his eyes.

Sasuke was still relatively stretched from last night, but the sadist in him had missed the burn from the stretch of taking Naruto. Just because he wanted to be taken slow and sweet didn't mean that he didn't want some of the pain that came with being brutally fucked.

So what if the omega was a little fucked in the head.

This was basically Naruto's first time having Sasuke again in three months, considering that he had been shit faced the actual first time, and he was just as eager as Sasuke.

"You're sure?" He asked.

Sasuke felt more stretched than some of the other times they'd had sex, but definitely not as much as Naruto usually liked. He wasn't exactly small.

"Please" Sasuke said as he nodded again.

Naruto nodded and brought his clean hand up to smooth down Sasuke's hair as he lined himself up and began to push in.

Naruto had to force himself not to relentlessly snap his hips forward to instantly seath himself in the incredible heat surrounding his tip.

Sasuke's breath hitched as he tried to relax, his skin feeling like it was on fire in the best way possible as he was stretched to what felt like his limits.

Naruto inched his way in, remembering that Sasuke wanted it slow.

Naruto let out a breath that he hadn't known he was holding in when his hips finally reached Sasuke's.

"Fuck, I've missed this. Feel so good around me" Naruto groaned out.

He caught the flash of warmth in Sasuke's eyes at the praise.

Sasuke gripped at Naruto's already abused back and lifted his hips to let Naruto know that he was good to move.

Naruto let out a shaky breath as he pulled his hips back and slowly pushed back in with a low moan.

Naruto continued moving in and out at a torturously slow rate, and as much as he wanted to just fuck Sasuke, the slow building of the teasing movements was incredible.

"Fuck!" Sasuke gasped out as he dug his nails into the muscles under his grip, feeling Naruto brush right up against his prostate.

"Right there, babe?" Naruto teased, already knowing the answer.

"Mhm" Sasuke moaned as he locked his red tinted eyes on the bright blue of Naruto's.

"Tell me how good I'm making you feel. How good it feels to have your alpha's cock back in your tight little ass" Naruto said as he continued his slow drags, going deeper with each thrust.

Naruto knew that he was being a stereotypical alpha, but he was desperate to hear that Sasuke had been needing him just as much as Naruto had needed him.

"So fucking good, alpha! Stretching me so perfectly, so big. I'm yours, all yours" Sasuke babbled as he kept that overwhelming gaze and dragged his nails down Naruto's back.

"Shit. You have no idea what you do to me. I've missed you so much, needed you so badly" Naruto said as he started thrusting in even harder.

Sasuke saw a few tears starting to escape those beautiful eyes and it broke his heart as Naruto's thrusting managed to put it back together.

Sasuke was so overwhelmed with pleasure and with emotions that his skin was prickled with goosebumps.

For someone who once hated intimacy, he didn't think he'd ever experience a moment as beautiful as this again.

Sasuke lifted his head up again for a deep kiss, holding on to his alpha even tighter.

"Fuck, you feel so fucking good. So good for me my beautiful omega. You ready to take my knot, baby?" Naruto groaned out against Sasuke's lips, his hips finally picking up the slightest amount of speed.

"God, please! Knot me! Give it to me, alpha!" Sasuke begged as he writhed underneath Naruto.

"Shit, yeah. I-I'm gonna cum. Gonna knot, fuck Sasuke! Fucking take it!" Naruto moaned as he gave one final thrust, shoving his throbbing knot deep into Sasuke, instantly flooding the omega with cum.

At the feeling of Naruto splitting him open and filling him, Sasuke screamed and latched on to Naruto's bond mark, opening it up again and filling his senses with Naruto's scent. Sasuke's dick gave a violent jerk before shooting his release all over their stomachs.

"Holy shit" Naruto said through his pants as he rested his forehead on Sasuke's.

"Better than last night?" Naruto asked with an unsure smile after he caught his breath enough to speak.

Sasuke still felt all fuzzy and just stared up at Naruto with hazy eyes and nodded with a dopey smile.

A huge, blinding smile broke out on Naruto's face before he leaned down to press a lingering kiss on Sasuke's lips.

"I love you" Naruto whispered.

"I love you too, idiot" Sasuke responded, already sounding half asleep.
