One-Shot #68
Once Bitten
"Uncle Naruto!" Five year old Shiori, Sakura and Neji's daughter, came bouncing down the hall. She landed, quite forcefully, on her beloved Uncle Naruto's lap, a grin spreading from ear to ear. The grin was made even cuter by her lack of two front teeth.
Sakura and Neji had four children, two boys and two girls. They were great children, if a bit on the naughty side (taught to them by Naruto) and loved it when their Uncles (yes, plural) came to baby-sit them.
From his position on the couch, Naruto could see Sasuke's upper-half attempting to feed Akira, their son, something resembling vegetables. It wasn't going very well. He caught Sasuke's eye for a moment before smirking and looking back at Shiori, who was now joined by her sister, Ayano.
"Yes, girls?" The girls climbed onto his lap, perching themselves up for a long sit.
"Cousin Emi told us that you and Uncle Sasuke kiss…like boys and girls are supposed do."
Naruto was honestly shocked, he really wasn't imaging this question to come out of these two girls. "Ye-yes, girls…why?"
"Well…" Ayano said, twiddling her fingers. "Why?"
"Why what? Why do I kiss him?" When both girls nodded, Naruto smirked. "Because I love Uncle Sasuke."
"But, but, Cousin Emi says that that's not normal." Ayano offered, still twiddling her fingers together.
"Cousin Emi has the genius of Uncle Shikamaru, but it's desperately smothered by the smart-ass-ness of Auntie Temari." Sasuke offered from the kitchen. Naruto wasn't even aware he was listening in.
Both girls covered their small mouths with their small hands as they gasped, "Uncle Sasuke swore!"
"Uncle Sasuke, we're not allowed to swear!" Naruto scolded him, making Sasuke roll his eyes.
"And that's why I gave up on re-establishing my clan!" Sasuke said, practically force-feeding Akira whatever the baby food was supposed to represent.
"Sasuke, be nice." Naruto smirked. "Now girls…"
"What was your first kiss like?" Shiori interrupted him.
"Our first kiss?" Naruto smirked, glancing in the kitchen at Sasuke. "Now there's a story, girls."
"Not the academy one, dobe. It doesn't count!" Sasuke said.
"Why, because you weren't ready?"
"Shut up!" Sasuke hissed, dodging the baby food being spit at him.
--------------------------------------------------
It was summer in Konoha, which automatically met the temperature had to reach a peak that Satan himself couldn't stand. Every ninja in Konoha abandoned their normal training clothes for thinner and less concealing versions. Most girls, much to the men's pleasure, wore as little as possible and yet still look decent.
For two particular shinobi, they find solace under the shade of a clearing in the woods. It's where they normally went for sparring and training, but today it was used to escape the heat of human bodies and open streets. The breeze that was blowing through the trees provided just enough temperature change that both Sasuke and Naruto were beginning to cool down to a normal body temperature.
"Naruto, you control wind now, right?" Sasuke asked, fanning himself with a large oak leaf.
"Yeah, so?" Naruto asked, peeling his headband off his head.
"Can't you control the wind and cool it down or something?"
"Dunno how." Naruto answered simply. It was too hot to talk in complete sentences anyway.
"Oh." Sasuke sighed, fanning the leaf faster.
"Why couldn't you be a water element instead of a fire element?" Naruto muttered.
Sasuke glared before reaching an epiphany. "Water! Naruto, you're actually getting smarter."
"Bastard." Naruto glared, sitting up slightly. "Um…what did I do that was so smart?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes before climbing to his feet. "There's a creek that way…let's go swimming."
Naruto stood up, too, smiling. "Yes, I am a genius!"
"Let's not go that far." Sasuke muttered, pulling Naruto with him to the water.
Once inside the coolness of the creek, both boys relished in the relief from the heat. They swam around solo for a while before Naruto began attempting to get Sasuke to play. What started off as splashing soon turned into a full water fight. Within moments, both boys were dunked under the water, wrestling until they needed to breathe.
As both boys surfaced, they were facing each other and gasping for air. It happened slowly, their faces inching together. Their lips brushed together first, very lightly, but then it progressed into something more.
Before long they were making out, Naruto pressed against the creek edge.
--------------------------------------------------
"Naruto!" Sasuke snapped from the kitchen. "They're, like, seven. Tone the story down!"
"Oh…yeah." Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, girls. Um…"
--------------------------------------------------
The kiss was intense, both boys had to admit that. The deeper and more intense it got, the more distracted from reality the two got. Which is why when the fish began swimming around them both, they ignored them. Until one fish decided he wasn't taking no for an answer.
Sasuke felt the fish slither between their legs, but thought nothing of it. Naruto's hands were fisted in his hair and they were a lot more important.
Naruto felt the fish doing figure-8's around his legs, but just kept shaking him off. The fish would scurry away, but come back a few moments later. The last time Naruto shook the fish away it didn't take the hint. Instead of swimming away, it went up…right into the gap of Naruto's boxers. The second it touched the sensitive skin on the back of Naruto's thigh, the blonde jumped. His hands pulled a little too hard on Sasuke's hair and his teeth clamped down on Sasuke's tongue.
"Fuck!" Sasuke shouted, pushing Naruto away. "What the fuck, dobe?" Of course, with a sore tongue his words came out sounding a little funny. Sort of like a child who has a lollipop in their mouth.
Naruto honestly was trying not to laugh, he was trying to apologize, but Sasuke was furious. He trekked his way into town, a deep glare and frown set on his face, all the way to the air-conditioned hospital to find Sakura.
--------------------------------------------------
"Mommy fixed it, Uncle Sasuke?" Shiori asked.
Sasuke glared at Naruto. "Yeah, she did. And she laughed her ass off the whole time."
"But, I didn't Sasuke!" Naruto said, smiling. "I kept a straight face the whole time."
Sasuke's eyes drew down. "You want a medal, idiot?"
Sakura and Neji's oldest child, ten year old son, Manabu, chose that time to emerge from his bedroom. "Nothing about you two is straight."
Naruto stared open-mouthed while Sasuke's lips quirked up in a smirk. "You sure act a lot like your father, you know that?"
Manabu smirked before disappearing into the kitchen.
"Did…did he just…"
"Oh yeah," Ayano shrugged. "Manabu told us you two are gay. What does gay mean?"
Shiori looked at Ayano and cocked her head. "Doesn't that mean happy?"
Sasuke leaned forward and patted her on the shoulder. "Yes, Shiori, that's exactly what it means."
Incase you didn't get it...the title refers to both Naruto and Sasuke... just a little play on words on my part. Hope you enjoyed it. And, before you ask, yes I'm all into this Sakura/Neji pairing...don't ask me why... I don't even like Sakura. lol.
I googled Japanese names for the kids, so they're supposed to be authentic. I just can't remember the meanings...because I'm a loser...
