To Wanda!

Sasuke woke up surrounded by warm, firm body. He smiled, letting out a small contented purr, and rolled over. His face met tanned neck and a leather-strapped necklace with a green crystal. Sasuke smiled and touched it with his fingers. Naruto had got the necklace from his mother or something, he wasn't sure about the story but he never took it off, ever.

Sasuke smiled up at the strong chin and blonde hair around one pretty ear. Naruto was beautiful - not that he'd ever tell him that - he'd rather be referred to as 'handsome' or 'rugged' or something but he really was beautiful. His skin was dark from a perpetual natural tan; his hair was yellow-blonde visible from a mile away and his eyes were bright sparkling blue that would lift your mood as soon as you saw them. He was the total opposite to Sasuke in appearance and personality and it was great; they were a serious yin-yang couple. Sasuke smiled again and kissed Naruto's well formed trapezium before attempting to sit up. The blonde groaned and hugged him closer, stopping him moving away

"Don't go.." he mumbled, frowning slightly. Sasuke sighed and wriggled up so he was eyelevel in his arms, kissing him on the lips

"I need to go shower, I have a lecture at 9.." he said, hands on his boyfriend's chest.

"Ohh!" Naruto whined, making a face with his eyes still closed

"Sorry.." he said with a smile, kissing him again "I'm back to work tomorrow…" he mumbled. Naruto's eyes opened at this and looked at him

"Seriously?" he asked, eyes sad. Sasuke nodded, nibbling his lip

"'Tachi only gave me a week off… I'm dreading it." He said with a sigh. Naruto smiled and kissed him

"I'll drop you off again and pick you up, ok?" Sasuke smiled and kissed him

"Thanks." He said. Naruto hugged him, kissing his neck shoulder.

"Hey, would it be possible for you to just work the bar and not dance?" Sasuke considered it for a moment before making a doubtful face

"I don't think so, we're short-staffed right now so everyone gets shifts doing the bar and dancing. I guess I could ask 'Tachi though…"

"Maybe I'll talk to him when I drop you off?" Sasuke smiled

"Thanks…again. Can I go shower now?" he asked. Naruto pouted and kissed him. Sasuke smiled and kissed back "You can come with me if you want?" he asked. Naruto's whole face lit up at this and he jumped out of bed, grabbed Sasuke and carried him into the bathroom. Sasuke laughed at this, seeing the genuine excitement in his boyfriend's face. They were both very quickly naked, thanks to Naruto, and under the hot stream of water. Naruto was already completely turned on by his sexy boyfriend and was getting Sasuke to that stage too, kissing him heatedly while fondling his dick and ass.

Sasuke was just getting really into it when-

Knock knock knock

"Sasuke, Haku's on the phone for you - he sounds upset.." they both sighed at Shino's voice

"Ok… I'll be right out.." he replied and kissed Naruto softly before getting out the shower, pulling on a bathrobe and left. Naruto swore under his breath and was forced to jerk himself off, showering quickly before getting out himself.

He came out to find Sasuke still on the phone, his face serious. He glanced up at Naruto who mouthed 'what's wrong'

"Tell you later.." he whispered, covering the receiver "-Yeah, I'm here… So what actually happened?" he asked the phone. Naruto left him to it, going for some breakfast.

Sasuke came in after Naruto was finished eating

"What was wrong with Haku?" he asked as Sasuke joined him on the sofa

"He had a big fight with Zabuza, he was upset he might have done something to make Zabuza mad.."

"What was their fight about?"

"Um, something to do with Zabuza's boss, he was crying so I didn't understand much of what he was saying so I'm gonna go over to his house after my lecture." Naruto nodded "Are you gonna go do more job hunting?"

"Yeah, I guess so. I do have to do an assignment but it's not in until next week… You should get going." Sasuke sighed and nodded, getting up and heading into the bedroom to get dressed.

Just then, Shikamaru emerged from his and Kiba's room with a yawn. Naruto grinned at him

"Hey, Shik, late night?" he asked with a chuckle. Shikamaru blushed, choosing to ignore this comment, and went into the kitchen just as Kiba followed him out. He looked at Naruto, grinning the biggest grin he'd ever seen, and followed Shikamaru. Naruto chuckled; those two were so easy to read.

Sasuke came back dressed in sexy black jeans and a gray form-hugging T-shirt, pulling on his socks then sat down with Naruto to tie his sneakers.

"I'll see you later then, good luck with the job hunt." He said and they kissed goodbye, Sasuke getting up

"I love you."

"I love you too." He replied with a smile before leaving. Naruto smiled to himself and turned on the TV - then realized Sasuke hadn't had time for breakfast and texted him to eat something at school, getting a smiley face in return. He smiled and went to print out some resumes.

"Do you have prior experience?"

"Yeah, I worked in the Hokage bar down on First Street (a/n: see what I did there? ;) ) for two years before it shut down, and I've been helping out in the canteen at the university since then but the pay kinda sucks."

"You're a student?"

"Yeah, I'm studying Ancient History." He said with a proud smile

"Oh, really? I didn't know that - well, from what I can see from your previous employer's reference, you'd be a great addition to our team here. Welcome aboard!"

"Great, thank you so much!" he said, grinning

"Sasuke probably won't be very happy though, huh?" Naruto sighed, standing up to shake Itachi's hand.

"No, I guess not…but at least this way I can keep an eye on him and I won't be worried all the time. Can we have the same shifts?"

"I'll see what I can do but I don't think that will be a problem." Itachi said with a smile "Can you start this Friday?"

"Absolutely! Me and Sas will see you then."

"Excellent. How does he feel about this anyway?"

"Uh…I haven't actually told him yet…" Itachi smirked

"Good luck with that." He said. Naruto grimaced

"Thanks… See you Friday." he said with a smile, shook his hand and left.

This was a bit of a filler chapter but oh well, please review!
