Usual Business

By: Silverwolf

Sasuke shakes his head as one of the designers enters the room. "So where is this beautiful blonde I keep seeing in pictures?" Onyx eyes narrow towards the female. "Just because I'm not afraid of who I'm with doesn't mean you even have the chance of running his life. I don't believe you should even have the privledge of meeting him." Sasuke hears swearing in a low pitch.

The female narrows her eyes as Sasuke grins a bit. "I believe we have a failure to communicate Uchiha." Sasuke shakes his head, "I believe we don't. I mean exactly what I say... you won't be meeting the blonde you're asking for here. Also I have a lot to complete today so I don't have time for you to play games. However, if you have another shoot you'd like me to do the one showing off then I expect you to tell me. Other than that we don't have anymore business to discuss, mostly because even without being the face of your showcase I still have plenty of tasks."

Sasuke hears a huff. "There's a huge showing in a few days. I do hope you choose to bring the blonde. Mostly because everyone is curious as to who he actually is." Sasuke turns his attention away from the female and towards an entering male, "I'll be with you in a few moments. As soon as I complete this meeting." The raven receives a nod as a reply. His attention returns to the female as she makes a face. "Who he actually is... he is my lover. Is that hard to process?"

The female gives the raven a defeated look. She scrolls down an address. "Well this will be the largest gathering for designers. I could've kept it to myself so I could keep the exculsive." Sasuke looks towards Naruto as the blonde makes himself comfortable in the raven's lap. "She's going, right?"

Cobalt eyes look sleepily at Sasuke. The raven responds with a nod as Naruto curls up into Sasuke's lap. Onyx eyes close briefly as Sasuke kisses the top of Naruto's head, "I promise I'll finish this swuftly." Naruto chirps and places his forehead against Sasuke's neck. The raven growls low and tilts his head some. The female sighs and steps out of the door.

Sasuke waves a hand beckoning over the male that entered during the first meeting. "what's wrong with the renovations?" The male shakes his head, "no they are all well." Sasuke then tilts his head, "was there something important then?" The male laughs a bit, "it's hard to believe you're only sixteen. You act far more mature." Onyx eyes narrow. "Relax I was trying to give you a compliment." Sasuke taps his fingers along a table, "if what you have to say isn't important then I do believe you should show yourself out." The male makes a slight a face, "do you remember the concept of someone painting a mural for Heaven's Curse?" Sasuke nods slightly, "it wasn't a concept. It'll be done. Next."

The male makes a frustrated face, "well I think I found a willing artist." Sasuke laughs, "that's been taken care of all ready. Your task was never my restaurant it was the theater renovations. Which I do hope aren't causing you a problem." the male shakes his head. Sasuke glances towards Naruto knowing the blonde is asleep. "Well if you don't mind I would like to end this meeting a bit sooner than normal." The male nods slightly, "of course. Since it seems I'm cutting into precious time." Sasuke closes his eyes briefly, "unfortunately there's been plenty happening." The male nods, "well then I'll see myslef out. Do enjoy your night Uchiha." Sasuke is certain to watch the male leave out of the restaurant door. The raven goes to stand without waking the blonde in his lap.

Naruto yawns blinking a bit. Sasuke gives half a smirk, "I wasn't trying to wake you." The blonde gives a small smile, "go ahead and lock up. Though I doubt I'm going to make upstairs alone." Sasuke smirks, "that's not a problem." The raven locks the thick door and sets the alarm. The raven then then guides the blonde up the stairs carefully to the flat the pair share. Sasuke hears a low purr as the blonde pulls him to the bed.

Sasuke feels Naruto kiss the side of his neck. The raven responds with a low growl and then pulls the blonde against him as he hits the bed. It doesn't take long for Naruto to return to his slumber against Sasuke's throat. The raven's eyes fall shut after he wraps a leg around Naruto's own. The blonde pushes himself closer to Sasuke in his sleep. Sleep claims Sasuke after the raven is certain the blonde isn't claimed by a nightmare in his sleep.

I've watches you sleep. You've cried tears, even called out for help.

I could never understand what lies in your past. And it may not

ever be plac to discover everything. Though I can state you've

allowed me more insight than anyone you could ever call friend.

Just remember I'll do everything can not to fail you.

I will protect you, even if it costs me blood.

Why? Because I love you more. You are my soul... not my

soul mate, but my soul.

A/N: For this one I focused a bit more on Sasuke and Naruto. Hopefully it turned out well. Next chapter I'll get to the mural. Thanks for reading.
