May 22nd, the second week
"Naruto." Sasuke poked his lover in the head, pushing it to lie in the other side. Said blonde didn't stir, mouth open and body twisted up in sheets. Watching Naruto sleep, he slid his finger down the others naked chest, running over the defined muscles softly. Naruto shifted, head turning back to its previous position. With a smile on his lips; he slowly pulled the sheets out of the tangled mess the blonde lay in, leaving only the blonde covering a majority of the bed.
Slowly, Sasuke carefully stepped onto the bed and over the blonde. Once he was in position, he slipped his hand in those blonde locks of hair. The sleeping man stilled, he was still fast asleep but his subconscious mind switched into sharing-the-bed mode. Sasuke could not thank the blonde enough for having that inherent ability. Lying next to the blonde for a few moments, Sasuke took the time to relax, he had been up for an hour already, taking laundry out and hanging it up on clothing lines he put up around the apartment.
Now, he wanted to get Naruto up and make him go out to do chores while Sasuke got his mission done for the day done. He didn't need the Dobe trying to decide to do the laundry and 'accidentally' ruin all of his boxers. The blonde had a small fetish for making Sasuke wear his grotesquely orange boxers. It was cute at first, but now it just made Naruto want to jump him every free moment they got and Sasuke found it ruining his daily routine. Carefully, Sasuke untangled his hand from Naruto's hair and placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder. Then, in one swift move, he pushed the blonde out of the bed and onto the floor. He didn't hear Naruto wake up until he was already halfway to the floor.
"Wu-ah!" Naruto cried out, his arms flailing around until he collapsed onto the wooden floor. Smirking, Sasuke slid off the bed, stepping over Naruto again, he made his way to the kitchen where he had already made a list of things the blonde would need to get. "Ow." Naruto sat up; rubbing the elbow he had landed on. The blonde yawned and stood up, raising his arms above his head to stretch, an audible pop coming from his back.
"You slept in." Sasuke stated as he came back to the bed, a sticky note in hand. Naruto grinned like a cat and when Sasuke was close enough Naruto lowered his arms around the Uchiha and pulled him close.
"That's because I was tired." Naruto kissed Sasuke's forehead and held him close.
"You're not getting any today Dobe, it's cleaning day." Sasuke pulled out of the blondes grip, he stuck the sticky note on Naruto's forehead and disappeared behind a line of black shirts hanging up to dry. "Besides, I have to go unweed a training field."
"They still have you doing D missions? I'd have thought by now you'd be doing at least C missions." Naruto muttered. Going cross-eyed to look at the sticky note attached to his head, Naruto reached up and peeled it off his skin and took a look at what was written on it. As Naruto looked over the list Sasuke had written, not really reading it, said male was heading back into the kitchen to make lunch.
"All of them are going to the genin, getting them prepped for the Chuunin exams." Sasuke muttered, there was no venom in his voice but Naruto could feel the annoyance rippling off of the Uchiha's nerves. Then he focused on the list, reading the items on it.
"You want me to pick up medicine?" Naruto asked; he looked up to find only lines and lines of laundry. "Sasuke?" He called out, then, took a long interested look in the line of Sasuke's boxers.
"In the kitchen, now stop eyeing my boxers, Usuratonkachi. You even think of doing something to them to make me wear your boxers, I will not only throw out your ramen, I'll make you sleep on the couch for a month and there will be no sex until after the baby is born." Immediately, Naruto backed away from his lover's undergarments, eyeing them one last time before finding his way through the maze of lines into the kitchen.
"So, medicine?" Naruto asked as he entered the kitchen, he held up the sticky note and then looked at the list again. Sasuke turned to open a cabinet drawer, pulled out a loaf of bread in it's plastic container and set it down on the table before moving to the refrigerator. "Prenatal pills, though?" Naruto asked. "They're to help give the baby essential things for growth, nutrition or vitamins or whatever, right?"
"Yes, but there is one important thing you need to know about getting the prenatal pills." Sasuke stuck his head in, bending down to get out fresh tomatoes, fresh ham, and a packet of cheese.
"What's that?" Naruto asked. Sasuke straightened, placed all the items next to the bread and shut the refrigerator door. Turning around, Sasuke came up to Naruto, raised his hand to tilt Naruto's head down and he would never admit to this but he stood on his toes a little more until his heels were lifting up off the floor. As he did this, he whispered something into his taller lover's ear. At first, Naruto listened and when Sasuke finished and stepped away the blonde frowned and shook his head in disbelief.
"I can't do that! It's practically stealing!" Naruto incredulously stared at his lover who looked back with a knowing look.
"You aren't going to steal it, Dobe, just switch pain killers for them." Sasuke leaned against the counter but kept his eyes trained on the blonde. "What are you, scared?" Sasuke asked.
Frowning, Naruto sighed heavily and looked away from Sasuke, looking at the floor. "Like hell I'm scared, Teme," He looked back at the dark haired male, azure eyes narrowed in a serious expression. "I'll only do it because it's for you, but I am paying him for them." Sasuke nodded his head then turned around, he opened another drawer and pulled out a knife, setting it next to the bread.
"Fine by me," Sasuke told the blonde; he looked over his shoulder a smile. "I wouldn't expect any less from my Dobe." This got Naruto to smile, the serious look disappearing straight away.
"Mm, I love it when you call me yours Sasuke." Naruto suggestively said, that perverted gleam in his eyes. He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist, nuzzling black hair affectionately.
"I told you no, Usuratonkachi, now get going, lunch will be in the fridge when you get back." Naruto didn't let go, continuing to nuzzle Sasuke's hair. Rolling his eyes Sasuke picked up the knife and brandished it, it's metallic surface shone in the sunlight and with deathly precision he swung the blade down upon the innocent tomato in front of him, slicing it in half as it thudded loudly against the cutting board.
This got Naruto to let go of Sasuke and he backed away, it was better to not test his boyfriend. "Right, right, I'll be going now." Naruto smiled nervously and turned around, sticky note still in his hands.
"Wait," Sasuke called out quickly. Naruto looked back. "Did you memorize the list?" Naruto nodded and held it up for Sasuke to see. Instead of going back to cutting up the tomato, Sasuke lifted his free hand and held it up to his mouth, using his pointer finger and thumb to made a circle. Before Naruto could react, Sasuke had sent a small ball of fire aimed directly at Naruto's hand holding the paper. Said sticky note burst into flames and Naruto dropped the flaming paper in surprise.
"Ah! Hey, Teme! That could have burned my fingers off!" Naruto cried out. He watched as the flaming paper swirled to the ground, the only remaining bits a charred, shriveled heap of scrap when it landed on the floor.
"I didn't so don't worry about it, Dobe, I'll clean it up when you're out shopping. We can't have anyone finding out about the pregnancy." Sasuke causally replied, he turned back to the kitchen counter and continued to slice his tomato with loud chops.
"Yeah, you're right." Knowing that the conversation had come to an end Naruto came up behind Sasuke again; put his hands on pregnant lover's shoulders and kissed Sasuke on the cheek.
"I love you Sasuke." Naruto whispered. "I love your bastard-like attitude, I even love the way you kick me out of bed when I oversleep." Naruto kissed Sasuke's cheek again. "I'll love you forever, even when you're huge right here," Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist so his hands rested on the Uchiha's abdomen. "So big and round, heavily pregnant with our child. I'll love you even when you say you look like a whale and I'll lie and tell you that you don't." With that, Naruto quickly escaped out of the apartment, just barely missing being stabbed in the head. The knife dug into the wall behind where Naruto's head would have been, a deepening blush spreading across Sasuke's normally pale face. Naruto grinning like a madman as he ran behind a bed sheet, he saw the expression his lover was sporting.
"Naruto!" Sasuke screamed angrily. Naruto didn't respond as he reached the front door, opened it and ran outside, slamming it shut behind him.
Nervous, terrified, scared shitless. Those were more than able to describe how Naruto was feeling at this exact moment. The joy of messing with Sasuke had worn off moments after he had left the apartment.
He was on his way to one of the ninja supply stores in Konoha that carried prenatal pills. His nervousness coursed through his veins and his only attempt to fix it was by avoiding the streets, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. This way of travelling split the time to get there in half. He arrived at the destination quickly, one side of him dreading at what he was going to attempt, the other glad he could just get this over with and go on with his life. When Naruto first entered the store, the store clerk gave him a glare, he had never seen the man before but still those beady black eyes had watched his every movement. The store clerk was well into his sixties, wrinkles heavily set in his face. White hair sprung up from the man's scalp, the receding hairline making the man seem half bald. Those small black eyes magnified by oversized horn rimmed glasses.
The store was small and old, paint on the walls were pealing behind the four rows of shelved items, there was a hairline crack on the ceiling and bright fluorescent lights that gave the store an eerie glow compared to the window in the front of the store, it was a bright cloudless afternoon out there. Things were left out in the open simply because the only people who came to this store were ninja and were allowed to buy anything they needed, nothing in the stores that were for sale were addictive or hazardous to a ninja's life. It was also the bond of trust between storeowner and ninja to have everything out in the open but that didn't mean the old man trusted customers.
Gulping quietly, Naruto smiled and waved at the man, trying not to look conspicuous. He went straight into the first aisle, in search for several items. There was some shuffling at the desk where the old man was seated, Naruto cautiously slowed his pace and turned his head, wondering if the man had gotten up to watch him. The shuffling stopped and the white haired man hadn't appeared. Naruto exhaled quietly, eyes flickering to what he was pretending to look at. Bottles of pain medication, there were dozens, all labeled with different active ingredients, the dosage of those ingredients.
His eyes moved lower and he came upon his prize, prenatal pills. Thinking quickly, Naruto scanned the lower shelf, looking for words that corresponded with what Sasuke had made him memorize. After a few seconds, he found the bottles and picked them up quietly, he silently mouthed the words in his head and smiled, he had found the right pills. Quickly making a hand signal and whispering a word, Naruto proudly held the bottles in his hands and finished walking down the rest of the aisle.
Coming to a corner, he looked around for other things Sasuke had asked him to pick up. He swiped some gauze from the back shelf, medical tape in the middle row and finally he went down the last aisle and swiped some healing ointment that he knew Sasuke liked. All the while, the old man was indiscreetly watching him as he pretended to be reading the newspaper. When Naruto walked up to the counter, the old man hurriedly put down his paper, the shuffling sound making another appearance as the blonde set down his purchases for checkout.
"Will that be all, sir?" The old man asked, his deep voice low and gravely, he sounded like an old man.
"Yeah," Naruto muttered. he pulled out his frog wallet from his pocket and opened it, change jangling at the movement. The old man eyed the frog wallet for a second, probably wondering what a teenage ninja would be doing with such a childish wallet but he didn't comment. Watching as the old man glanced over the items, he typed something into the old cash register and it clanged open with a ring of a bell. The man told Naruto the total price and watched as the blonde extracted crumpled paper bills from the chaos of coins. After handing the man his money Naruto proceeded to grab a bag from the counter and opened it, slipping the items inside quickly.
"Here's your change." The old man muttered, holding the five hundred yen and closing the cash register with a metallic clang. Naruto looked up in surprise at the man, folding the top of the bag closed as he did so.
"Oh, you can keep the change." Naruto briefly muttered, nodded to the man and quickly made his way out of the store. Before the old man could reply the blonde was out of sight, having run into the street.
"Hey! Come back here and return the things you stole! Damn kid." The old man first yelled then muttered. Annoyed, the old man got off his stool and walked over to the first aisle to assess what the boy had stolen. By the man's reckoning the kid had spent too much time there and could have had time to slip something into his pockets. He grumbled to himself about his naiveté about the younger generation but as he looked up and down the aisles he realized two things. First, he had just re-stacked the shelves after his lunch break and the blonde had been his only customer since then and secondly, two prenatal pill bottles were missing instead of two pain medicine bottles. The prenatal pills were two hundred yen more than the pain medicine.
"I'm getting too old for this," The old man returned to his desk, taking his glasses off to clean them with the hem of his shirt. "My eyesight isn't what it used to be." The old man completely disregarded the fact that a young man had bought prenatal pills and focused more on why he was thinking about retiring.
Once Naruto was two blocks away from the shop, he relaxed, the brown bag was securely under his arm. With a sigh of relief the blonde slowed his pace to a leisurely walk. The streets he walked on were full of bustling people, all doing their own thing and spending the beautiful afternoon in their own ways. The summer heat had not yet set in and kids were breaking a sweat in their rambunctious play. Several kids had run past Naruto, screaming out to their friends or giggling hysterically. Watching them made Naruto smile, they made him think about Sasuke who was pregnant. That fact itself was enough to make the blonde grin like crazy, his lover had figured out a way to get pregnant so they could have a baby.
The fact still left Naruto too happy to even breathe sometimes. Continuing on his way home, Naruto avoided gossiping women, boisterous kids who ran circles around people, several trying to trip Naruto childishly. Too busy watching out for the kids and throngs of people, Naruto didn't see a pink haired girl who saw said blonde immediately and made a beeline for him. Unbeknownst to Naruto, he was walking straight towards her, she waved at him but he didn't notice, smiling to himself. Just as Naruto was about to pass her Sakura grabbed at his free arm and stopped the blonde from walked away. Caught off guard, Naruto turned to look at who grabbed his arm and his whole face lit up in excitement.
"Naruto!" Sakura called out, still happy to have caught the blonde. "The public notification was sent out this morning about Sasuke's reinstatement, wanna get Ichiraku's in celebration?" The pinkette grinned and pointed in the direction said ramen shop stood. Sheepishly Naruto grinned back, showing Sakura the brown bag.
"Nah, Sasuke asked me to get some medical supplies we were running low on. He's back at home making lunch. Maybe we can meet up tonight or something," Sakura looked at the bag then back up at Naruto.
"Sasuke trusted you enough to buy medicine? That's new." Both smiled, the blonde chuckled.
"Yeah well, he said there was no way in hell he'd let me cook." Naruto watched as Sakura's smile got wider; then she started laughing, wrapping her arms around her waist as her melodic laugh escaped through her lips. "Hey, I'm not that bad at cooking!" Naruto said defending himself, Sakura just shook her head and bent over, laughing so hard her body was shaking. "I make great ramen!" This sent Sakura into another bout of laughter. Naruto waited with a smile for the pinkette to stop laughing and regain her breath.
"Well then I guess I'll have to catch you later this week for dinner, bring Sasuke too. I'll get Sai and try to pull Kakashi away from Iruka-sensei." Sakura wiped tears from her eyes and inhaled deeply. Naruto's smile disappeared, an unsure look in his eyes.
"About that," Naruto started. "Sasuke doesn't really like Sai, I know the guy comes off strong but Sasuke just won't give him a chance. He won't want to go eat if he's coming." Sakura watched as Naruto's unsure look turned into a frown, the blonde obviously troubled at this.
"Don't worry about it Naruto," Sakura said, putting a hand on Naruto's shoulder comfortingly. "Just tell Sasuke to go tonight or withhold the sex." Naruto looked up to see Sakura smiling devilishly.
"That's not a punishment for Sasuke, that's punishment for me!" Naruto cried out, several older women nearby turning their heads to look at the two teenagers standing in the middle of the street.
"Well then threaten to do the opposite." Sakura didn't even need to glance over to tell the women were giving them the stink eye. "Anyway, I'll see you later Naruto!" At this Sakura started walking off, waving as she turned around, disappearing into the crowded street and went about her own business.
"Bye, Sakura-chan!" Naruto called out, raising his hand to wave goodbye to his teammate. He could still feel the glares from the group of women nearby so he turned in his own direction and briskly walked to the next street. Once the blonde was down the street and out of eyesight from the women the smile returned to his face, not even people who hated him could keep his spirits down. His boyfriend was pregnant with their child for goodness sake!
The rest of the way home Naruto was smiling brightly, not even his would-be thieving earlier would keep him down. Just as Sasuke had said, when the blonde got home there was a tomato, ham and cheese sandwich in the refrigerator waiting for him. The first thing he did after setting the brown bag on the coffee table in the living room was take a huge bite out of it and look around the small apartment. Half of the clothes that had been on lines were gone, the rope neatly wrapped and sitting on the floor to the rest of the hanging line. Munching thoughtfully, Naruto walked into the smaller maze of lines, noticing that Sasuke's underwear was already put away. A little disheartened by the fact, Naruto finished his sandwich, dusting the crumbs on his pants he started taking down the clothes, folding them messily in a pile.
In the middle of his work he started humming some tune, folding in synch with the random beat. Once he finished with all the clothes, he went back and stooped down, picking up all the clothespins he had tossed to the floor earlier. Lastly, he pulled down the rope and finished tying it, this chore was done much neater than the other two and he set the rope down next to the pile of clothes pins and a pile of hazardously folded clothes. Satisfied with his work, Naruto collapsed on the couch, deciding to take a nap until his boyfriend got back.
May 29th, the third week
It had been just over two weeks since the seal had appeared; two weeks of gorgeous weather and Sasuke was stuck in a short-sleeved t-shirt. Naruto was off for the day and he was stuck de-weeding a fucking valley. Literally, he was in a training valley de-weeding it of dandelions and crabgrass. Normally, Sasuke wouldn't have minded, but normally he wasn't wearing a shirt in the midday sun. It was so hot and all he wanted to do was take off his shirt and work with his bare back in the sun.
He was going to have to do the laundry again this week, he really needed to buy more shirts with short sleeves, he only had six to begin with and he couldn't wear his numerous amounts of sleeveless because of the seal. Anyone would notice make up or a glamour on the Uchiha's pale skin so he had to hide the seal the old fashioned way, much to Sasuke's discontent. Getting up to his feet, Sasuke stretched his back out and wiped away the sweat from his brow. He'd been at this for four hours already. That weird feeling of being watched suddenly sent tingles up his spine; he turned around and saw a very familiar face grinning at him. Now saying this face was familiar didn't mean he had to like the person, including his face.
"Sai." Sasuke grunted. Sai nodded at Sasuke saying his name, that fake smile on his lips. Anger boiled in Sasuke's throat, his head clouding in rage. He hated Sai, hated that goddamned fucking smile.
"Hello Sasuke-san." Sai spoke, still smiling. Sasuke turned away from the other male, checking to see if he had missed any weeds in the section he was in. "How are you today?" Sai asked, regardless of Sasuke's blatant dismissal.
"Fine." Sasuke answered. He kneeled and pulled out a small dandelion and tossed into the bag already full of weeds.
"I am also well, if you were wondering." Sai stepped forward, watching Sasuke pick the weeds, Sasuke didn't respond. "I have a question." Sai spoke quietly.
"What?" The Uchiha bit out, he wiped away the sweat on his forehead with his forearm.
"What is love?" Sai asked; Sasuke stopped what he was doing and looked up. His facial expression was blank with just a twinge of anger in his narrowed eyes.
"Excuse me?" Sasuke barked, glaring at the still smiling Sai.
"What is love?" Sai iterated. Sasuke glared at him for a second more before shaking his head and standing up again, ready to ignore him. "Naruto-kun talks in his sleep, he said he loved you and I want to know, what does it mean to love someone?" Sasuke gave Sai a long careful look, discerning the fake smile from the crinkles underneath his eyes. Internally, he was debating on talking to the other male, he had never liked Sai but Naruto kept telling him he would get used to the guy's horrible personality.
"Love is a lot of things," Sasuke picked up the bag full of weeds and hefted it onto his back, moving farther into the valley. "The Dobe was probably saying that he loved ramen too." Out of the corner of his eye Sasuke saw the smile drop from Sai's face, black eyes hollow as they stared at him.
"No, he only said you're name and that he loved you." Sai muttered. Sasuke didn't respond, he walked until he reached a patch of dandelions and set the bag down before getting down to work. A small warm feeling wiggled its way into Sasuke's stomach but he didn't let it show on his face.
"You seriously don't know what love is?" Sasuke asked, Sai didn't look up but nodded. Sighing Sasuke took a minute to think about what he was going to say.
"You know how hard Naruto worked to bring me back, how many he times he barged into the Hokage's office to demand she get me out of isolation." Sai nodded, the blonde had been relentless back then. "He did it because he loved me."
"But from books I've read say that when a man and a woman love each other are couples, how can you two be a couple if you're both male?" Sai asked, Sasuke looked up and saw Sai smiling that fake smile; it pissed him off all over again. "I'm just curious." Looking away again, Sasuke tried to wipe the scowl off his face, pissed at Sai's existence all over again.
"Books from the public and academy libraries are old and outdated, lifestyles are more diverse these days, families aren't cut out from pictures anymore." Sasuke stood up again and pulled the bag over his shoulder again. Sai stood up and followed Sasuke to a patch of crabgrass.
"I see," Sai didn't get down to help Sasuke; he stood next to the Uchiha and watched as he uprooted the crabgrass quickly and cleanly. "What about children?" Sasuke felt his stomach drop for a second; he paused in his movement and then continued.
"Most families have them, procreating or adopting. Others don't, it's different for each family and their situation." Sasuke muttered. Sai didn't respond at first, taking in the information.
"I see." Sai finally muttered. "Do you want kids, Sasuke-san?" Sasuke stopped and leaned back on his knees, glaring up at the other male. Sai was still smiling, eyes closed in a fake expression of happiness.
"That's none of your business, Sai." Sasuke said matter of fact and went back to picking out the crabgrass. Sai didn't walk away though, much to Sasuke's annoyance.
"Naruto-kun wants kids, you should know that." Sai said, Sasuke stopped what he was doing again and stood up, giving Sai the death glare.
"Keep your nose out of our lives Sai, what Naruto wants in his relationship with me is none of your concern." Growling menacingly Sasuke watched as Sai's smile lessened considerably.
"I just want you and Naruto-kun to be happy, Sasuke-san, I don't mean to overstep boundaries." Sai said, unwilling to back down from the obvious challenge.
"I suggest you go home, Sai, now." Sasuke narrowed his eyes and clenched his black-gloved fists; he should never have listened to his Dobe. If he ever found a chance to kill the meddling, cross dressing bastard, he would take it with no hesitation. Sai stood there for a minute, unwilling to budge before he took a step back, averting his gaze to the ground, smile returning full force.
"It was nice to see you again, Sasuke-san." Sasuke didn't respond, he watched Sai turn away and walk out of the field, back onto the road and out of sight. Sighing deeply Sasuke got back on his knees and finished pulling the crabgrass out. He couldn't wait to get home and confront his lover.
"Sai asked me a question today." Sasuke said as he placed the plates back in the cupboard, their chinking sound filling the kitchen. Naruto looked up from piling the dishes neatly on top of the counter for Sasuke to put up, the dishwasher open and half empty. Sasuke had already put refolded the clothes and put away the clothespins and rope, kicked Naruto off the couch and were now doing the dishes before meeting up with the rest of team seven for dinner.
"When?" The blonde's response was immediate. He knew Sasuke didn't like Sai and the thought of the two having a civil conversation did not look pretty.
"While I was de-weeding the training field." Naruto turned back to the dishes.
"What about?" Naruto curiously asked wondering what Sasuke was going to tell him. Sasuke turned around and picked up a pile of bowls, Naruto adding one on top before letting the Uchiha put it away.
"He asked me, 'what is love?'" Sasuke repeated he glanced over at the blonde to see if there was a reaction but Naruto just grinned and looked back at Sasuke before opening his mouth.
"Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more." Sasuke set the bowls in the cupboard before whacking Naruto on the back of his head rather roughly. "Ow! Dammit, Teme, it's a song." Naruto complained, rubbing the back of his head and wincing as Sasuke smirked.
"I know, Dobe, you're being an idiot." The Uchiha reached a hand out to rub the back of Naruto's head but the blonde jumped away quickly. Rolling his eyes Sasuke pulled Naruto by his shirt's collar and gave him a soft peck on the lips as an apology. Naruto came out of the kiss grinning.
"Well, what did you say?" The blonde asked as he returned to grouping clean dished by what they were. Sasuke grabbed a handful of forks and pulled open a drawer and setting them in neatly.
"I told him what I thought love is and then he asked me if I wanted kids." Sasuke gave Naruto a look of contempt as the blonde sheepishly shied away from his lover.
"Eheh, well Sakura was talking about settling down, Kakashi was talking about moving in with Iruka and adopting and I just couldn't help myself." When Sasuke's look hardened, Naruto raised his hands up in defense. "I just told them that I wanted to be a daddy and you could be the mommy and we'd have a bunch of kids, that's all, I swear!" Naruto backed up against the counter on the other side of the kitchen and watched as Sasuke stalked towards him.
"I'm the mommy?" Sasuke asked seductively, he wrapped his arms around Naruto's shoulder, knee slipping between the blonde's orange clad legs. At first, Naruto was scared the Uchiha was going to knee him in the balls hard but when his lover didn't he relaxed.
"Well yeah, Sasuke," Naruto started, he set his hands on Sasuke's waist and looked into his lover's eyes. "You are the one who's pregnant." The blonde leaned down for a kiss and rubbed Sasuke's stomach softly. Sasuke smiled and broke the kiss, rubbing his knee against the blonde's groin softly, exciting him. "You're not mad at me are you Sasuke?"
"No I'm not mad at you." Sasuke mumbled as he kissed the blonde again. "Did you get the pills?" Sasuke asked. Naruto nodded and glanced over to the family room, tilting his head down to brush their foreheads together.
"Yeah, they're on the coffee table." Naruto whispered and he kissed his lover again, moving his hands to Sasuke's ass. "But uh, before you pop those prenatal pills open how 'bout we go another round?" Naruto raised his eyebrows suggestively and massaged the pale globes in his hands gently.
"Hn, Dobe, you're insatiable." Sasuke grinned and kissed his blonde. Getting even more excited Naruto leaned forward, making Sasuke lean backwards and devoured the Uchiha's mouth. Sasuke gladly allowed the blonde's tongue inside, running across teeth before pushing against his own pink muscle playfully. When Naruto pulled out of the kiss Sasuke grinned and let his arms fall.
Deciding to move to a more comfortable space, Naruto released his grip and gently pushed his lover away. Grabbing the Uchiha's hand, he made his way to the couch, pulling Sasuke into another embrace their lips met in an immediately deep kiss. Tongues dueling to conquer the others' mouth as Naruto turned around until the back of Sasuke's legs hit the armrest of the couch. Then Naruto leaned down, toppling them over onto the couch so Sasuke lay underneath him. The blonde broke the kiss, slipping tongue back inside his own mouth and looked down at his lover. He leaned down and kissed the raven again. Sasuke accepted the kiss, eyes fluttering closed as Naruto pulled on his lower lip softly before letting it go.
"That's because I can never give you enough pleasure, you're giving me two of the greatest things I could ever have." Naruto leaned down and kissed Sasuke again, catching the Uchiha's upper lip to nibble on. When Naruto lifted his head the second time Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Stop speaking like an idiot, Dobe." Sasuke mumbled. "What am I giving you?" Naruto grinned and leaned down, catching the corner of Sasuke's lips in a kiss. Trailing his lips across Sasuke's cheek to his pale ear, gently biting the ear lobe.
"You're giving me," Naruto's hands moved to Sasuke's abdomen and rubbed it gently. "Your baby, our baby." Naruto whispered, he moved his hands upwards to the hem of Sasuke's shirt, his fingers riding it up as he went in search of Sasuke's nipples.
"And the other?" Sasuke asked, he felt the callous fingers explore his chest until they came to rest on his nipples, Naruto's mouth lifted from his ear and the blonde looked down at his lover with a soft smile.
"You're love." Naruto said simply, he leaned down and kissed his lover again, tongue roving over Sasuke's intimately. Sasuke used his own tongue to push Naruto's out of his mouth, raising his head, when his tongue touched Naruto's lips he pulled back.
"Tch, now you're just being mushy." Sasuke muttered, a stoic but satisfied expression on his face. Naruto leaned down for another kiss but the sound of someone opening a window jolted the two out of their daze. Sasuke pushed Naruto to the ground and sat up, back straight as a board and face lacking any emotions. Naruto cried out in surprise as he fell onto the floor, landing with a thud. Turning around, Sasuke found their old mentor and friend, Kakashi sitting on the windowsill, book in hand, his thumb stuffed between two of the pages.
"Yo." The white haired ninja smiled underneath his mask, visible eye in the shape of a 'u'. Sasuke continued to stare at the older man, watching him from slightly slanted eyes, appraising the other ninja. Surprised Naruto got up off the floor, dusting off his ass as he looked to Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said in slight confusion. Said older male jumped from the ledge of the window, over the bed and onto the wooden floor with a small almost imperceptible thump.
"What do you want Kakashi?" Sasuke asked, his expression didn't change and there was no hostility in his voice. Just the same old Sasuke that everyone saw, Naruto, the anbu who had been on Sasuke's guard duty and those who happened to see Sasuke being affectionate on those extremely rare occasions in public. Naruto grinned at the question; he always got a kick at watching Sasuke's change in attitude. One minute he'd be all sweet and cuddly and the next he'd be the frigid pick he'd been to everyone growing up.
"Oh, just wanted to drop in on my two favorite troublemakers, see what they're up too." Kakashi spoke lazily, he came to the living room part of the apartment and stood in front of the coffee table, his eye taking in the whole apartment in one fellow swoop.
"We were going to do some practice." Sasuke emphasized, he never liked being subtle.
"Oh I could tell, did you ah, get anything special for your practice?" Kakashi asked, nodding to the brown bag on the coffee table. Naruto immediately blushed and looked at the bag, brain deep in the gutter of perversion.
"Uh-um, that's not-" Naruto stammered, scratching the back of his head while grinning wide, trying to hide his blush.
"It's medicine, painkillers, gauze, and healing ointment. Things I'll need for minor cuts and scrapes when I go out on missions." Sasuke emotionlessly spoke, the question not fazing him at all. Kakashi nodded, taking his eye off the bag to look at Sasuke.
"The Hokage wants you to report in her office for your next mission tomorrow morning." Kakashi stated then turned to walk to the front door. Naruto spluttered out his confusion while Sasuke nodded and leaned back on the couch, smirking at his Dobe's actions.
"Wha-hey Kakashi-sensei! Take your shoes off next time you walk into our apartment!" Naruto hollered at the top of his lungs, following the white haired ninja out the front door.
"Don't be late for dinner! I'm missing dinner with my beloved Dolphin-chan for this!" Kakashi yelled as he jumped over the railing. Naruto stopped at the doorframe, watching the Jonin leave.
"Kakashi!" Naruto yelled but Kakashi was already to far away to respond. Angry, Naruto shut the door and locked it, he stomped over to the bed and closed and locked the window, which Kakashi had left open. "Damn pervert." The blonde muttered. Throughout all of this Sasuke watched his lover move about their apartment, a small smile gracing his lips, stare softening into a look of amusement. When Naruto finished locking up the apartment he huffed angrily and returned to the couch, sitting down next to the Uchiha.
"Dobe." Sasuke grabbed the blonde by his shirt and pulled him close. Instinctively, the blonde wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist and lifted said male onto his lap.
Allowing himself to be manhandled, Sasuke kept a grip on Naruto's black shirt and when he was situated, both legs on either side of Naruto's as they sat face to face the Uchiha kissed Naruto, roughly demanding tongue action. Sasuke's tongue wormed its way into Naruto's mouth, forcing the blonde to respond. Naruto was surprised at first but quickly overcame it, he fought valiantly but Sasuke was not going to give in and the urge to dominate became apparent. Once Sasuke realized his lover was fighting back with a passion he broke the kiss.
"Feel better?" Sasuke asked, Naruto blinked then smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, thanks, Teme." Naruto sighed happily and leaned forward, resting his head in the crook of Sasuke's neck. "That was a close one though Sasuke, what if Kakashi had decided to be even nosier and went looking through the bag?" Sasuke brought a hand up to run it through blonde hair.
"I would have said it got mixed up with actual pain killers, you are an idiot, Dobe." Sasuke smirked as Naruto growled and lifted his head.
"You are so lucky you're pregnant, Teme or I would have thrown you against the wall and started fucking you already." Frowning, Naruto gently gripped Sasuke's chin and tilted it downwards so he could kiss him again.
"Well then we'd be late for dinner." Sasuke muttered with a smile before meeting Naruto's puckering lips with his own. Both blue and black eyes closed when their lips touched, meeting in a soft, sweet chaste kiss.
Kakashi and Sakura were already at Ichiraku's when Naruto and Sasuke arrived, both were glad that Sai was noticeably absent. The old man, Teuchi, who owned the restaurant was busy with another few customers on the other end of the bar table, he glanced over at the four people but stayed with the other customers. Over the years, only Sakura had really changed between the two. Her whole figure had filled out; she wore skintight black legging that peeked from underneath her pink skirt and had traded in her pink top for a chuunin vest. She still wore her petal pink hair short, held out of her face by her headband and her green eyes were as bright as ever.
"Kakashi, I'm surprised you're actually on time." Naruto commented. The white haired jonin took his elbows off the bar table and scratched the back of his head, his single visible eye shaped in a 'U'.
"Well actually, Sakura here was kind enough to escort me when she saw me just perusing through the streets-"
"I caught him before he managed to reach Iruka's house, if he had I wouldn't have dared to walk in to pull him out." Sakura interrupted the older man, rolling her eyes at their old teacher's excuse. Naruto smiled and laughed as he and Sasuke took the last barstools on the far end, Sasuke taking the one next to Sakura while Naruto took the one next to the wall of the shop.
"Well, he managed to make it into our house before you caught him." Naruto said and watched Kakashi shrug his shoulders, putting his elbows back on the bar counter, slouching forward. Sakura's eyes widened and her smile dropped into a look of confusion.
"He went to your house?" She glanced over at Kakashi and back at her two friends in surprise.
"Wanted to see if he could learn some new tricks for Iruka." Sasuke muttered. He glanced over at Sakura with a raised eyebrow, a small, lopsided twitch in the corner of his mouth that constituted as a smile. Not missing a beat, Naruto leaned over Sasuke, his hand on the Uchiha's shoulder for leverage.
"But you know what they say about old dogs." Naruto winked and sat back down, the hand on Sasuke's shoulder discretely sliding down to his elbow before letting it drop. Sasuke didn't so much as blink at the touch, watching Sakura realize what they were talking about and Kakashi drum his fingers against the counter in pointed ignorance.
"Oh," Sakura muttered. "Kakashi you're such a pervert." She looked over to the white haired man and gave him a disappointed look. Kakashi grinned underneath the mask, the only tell tale sign was his eye closing and making the 'u' shape that he always made when he smiled. Naruto and Sasuke turned to watch the owner of the restaurant finally make his way over to them as a presence made itself known to them.
"Am I late?" A voice behind the four asked. Everyone turned around to see Sai taking a fifth seat next to Kakashi, a fake smile on his face. Immediately Sasuke's mood dampened, Naruto glanced at his lover, sat his hands on the table and rested one of them over Sasuke's pale fingers.
"Almost," Sakura happily leaned forward, looking from Sai to Teuchi. "Finally ready for us?" She asked the old man and he smiled and nodded, chuckling.
"Sure am! What can I get my favorite customers?" Teuchi looked over all five of them, waiting for someone to order first.
"I'll have miso!" Naruto grinned and the old man nodded.
"Beef." Sasuke muttered.
"I'll have beef as well." Sakura gave Teuchi a big smile and glanced at her old sensei.
"Miso, please." Kakashi's monotonous request earned a nod.
"I would like some miso ramen." Sai's voice made Sasuke inwardly cringe but he refused to let it show. Naruto gripped Sasuke's hand and squeezed gently; he knew Sasuke was not having fun anymore.
"Perfect, I'll start cooking right away!" Teuchi smiled and turned around, getting the necessary ingredients. Silence settled between the five, Sakura glancing over at Naruto and Sasuke and the blonde was discreetly looking at the Uchiha. Sakura saw their hands but didn't say anything, she turned to look on her other side and saw Kakashi watching Teuchi work while Sai just stared at the table.
"So, Sasuke, how is it now that you don't have any anbu watching you every moment of the day?" Sakura asked, drumming her fingers against the counter to stop her from getting nervous about the tense atmosphere.
"Hn." Sasuke tersely responded. He glanced up at Sakura and then back at down at his hands, flipping the one under the blonde's hand to intertwine their fingers together. Naruto gave a small smile and tightened his grip reassuringly.
"It must be nice to be fucked by dickless over there without people watching." Sai spoke up. Sasuke visibly stiffened and Naruto looked up sharply, bright blue eyes angrily staring down at the artist.
"Sai!" Sakura yelled. She slammed her fists on the table loudly and stood up from stool, ready to hit the male.
"Hey! You've never seen me in action! You don't even know, tell him Sasuke!" Naruto leaned over the able, pointing at Sai angrily and then looked over to his Uchiha. Everyone looked over to Sasuke who was admiring the table casually; he slipped his fingers out of Naruto's grip and ran it through his hair slowly.
"Sai, you don't know." Sasuke glanced over the other three teammates stoically before turning back to his lover, giving him a smirk. The Uchiha knew it would rile the blonde up and say more than he would mean to. Sasuke wanted to go over and rip Sai's voice box out but he ignored the feeling, Naruto would not be happy with him ruining his own celebration.
"Teme, that's not what I meant! Tell them I'm good, no, great in bed!" Naruto gave Sasuke a look to urge him on but Sasuke refused to play along with the blonde. Sasuke took a relaxing breath and turned back to his old teammates.
"Naruto is good, no, great in bed." Sasuke couldn't help but smirk when he heard Naruto's head hit the table, Sakura smiling widely and Kakashi's eye becoming a 'u' again. Sai even had the decency to give a fake grin even though he wouldn't look up from the table.
"Teme! That's not what I meant!" Naruto cried out. He leaned forward and draped himself over Sasuke's shoulders, giving him a sad puppy-dog-eye look.
"Hn," Sasuke muttered. Just as Naruto was going to say something, a presence of several people out on the street caught everyone's attention. Almost everyone turned around to welcome the newcomers, Naruto just moved his head, half his face nuzzling Sasuke's duck butt hair so Sasuke was the only one who couldn't see who was coming.
"Kiba? Hinata? Shino?" Sakura questioned aloud. "What are you guys doing here?"
"We wanted to congratulate Sasuke on being reinstated." Sasuke heard Kiba's voice. Naruto got off of the Uchiha and allowed him to turn around.
"Yes, congratulations." Hinata murmured softly. Sasuke's eyes met hers and for a brief moment they were looking at each other. Sasuke's hadn't expected her to be looking but not a full two seconds later she was looking down at the floor.
"Congrats." Shino muttered from behind his oversized collar and jacket's hood. Sasuke glanced over to the Aburame, nodded and looked back to the Inuzuka.
"Thank you, we appreciate it." Sasuke watched as Kiba's feral grin grew wider.
"No problem man, it's just a shame we weren't able to do much while you were incarcerated." Kiba rubbed his nose with his pointer finger and glanced over at his teammates.
"No one but Naruto was able to do much of anything for Sasuke back then and even then he all he did was break down some doors and harass a few anbu guards." Kakashi waved Kiba's statement easily. The white haired Jonin's statements made Naruto stiffen and blush, suddenly thinking that Sasuke's ruffled hair was much interesting to look at than his friends.
"Haha! That must have been a sight to see!" Kiba laughed as he watched Naruto's face go red.
"Yeah well…" Naruto trailed off, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"We should, uh, get going. We have some night training with Kurenai and we wanted to see you before we left." Hinata mumbled quietly. Shino nodded in agreement and Kiba shrugged his shoulders unaffected.
"We'll see you guys later! Have fun!" Naruto grinned and waved at the team left.
"Bye!" Sakura called out. Hinata turned back to wave before disappearing into the street, leaving the five of them alone again. Just as they were turning around again, six new presences made themselves known just as they stepped into the shop. All of team seven found themselves looking up at Ino, Chouji, Shikamaru, Rock Lee, Tenten and Neji. They surrounded team seven, most smiling and others looking bored out of their minds.
"How did you guys know where we were?" Naruto asked dumbly. Everyone, including his own teammates, was staring at him like he had grown a second head.
"Naruto, you always come to Ichiraku's to celebrate, you'd have to be an idiot to not know that." Ino gave the blonde an, 'are you really that stupid?' look. Chouji inhaled deeply, trying not to stare at the ramen that was being cooked behind the bar but couldn't help but glance.
"But we came to offer our congratulations to the lovely youth Sasuke for his reinstatement as a ninja of Konoha!" Rock Lee pumped his fist up in the air and gave a dazzling white smile to the Uchiha.
"Thank you." Sasuke nodded to the entire group, glancing at everyone quickly.
"Are you guys going to stay and eat with us?" Naruto asked. The blonde raised an arm leaned against Sasuke again, the people standing all looked at each other, wondering what everyone was going to do.
"Sorry, but it's not our celebration. You guys enjoy your ramen." Shikamaru spoke up. He nodded to Sasuke and Naruto before turning around and walking away, Ino and Shikamaru following him.
"I must concur, it was a victory for team seven and we would be overstaying our welcome." Neji glanced over at his teammates before nodding his farewell, Tenten and Rock Lee doing the same. "We shall see you later."
"May your youth shine brightly!" Rock Lee gave his famous tooth sparkling grin as the three left the ramen bar.
"Have a good night you guys!" Sakura called out. She turned back to Sasuke and Naruto grinning. "Well aren't you popular tonight Sasuke."
"Hn." Sasuke shrugged his shoulders and turned back around on his seat, Naruto straightening back up on his own chair as Kakashi and Sai repositioned themselves as well.
"I must admit, the views of your peers are and have always been overwhelmingly positive. It's created quite a dilemma for a few in power." Kakashi set his elbows on the table and folded his fingers together to rest his chin on them.
"What are you talking about Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"He's talking about people who didn't get their way concerning me." Sasuke interrupted the conversation. Sakura looked at the table, mulling the information over.
"Well they certainly aren't going to enjoy the last few years of their miserable lives." Sai's voice broke the silence.
"We'll make sure of that." Kakashi added. Naruto listened quietly to the conversation and burst out laughing at the last sentence. All four of Naruto's friends looked over to the blonde, waiting for him to stop laughing to explain just what was so funny.
"Geez, just thinking about those two old crones sitting around wringing their hands about Sasuke and not being able to do anything is just too funny!" Naruto grinned widely and gave Sasuke a quick, adoration filled look.
"What are we going to do with you, Naruto?" Sakura shook her head and smiled at the blonde.
"You won't do anything." Sasuke muttered. "I will personally make sure he is dealt with properly." He turned to the blonde and smirked. Naruto raised his eyebrows, silently accepting the challenge.
"Can't wait." Naruto kept his eyes locked on Sasuke, wondering what the Uchiha was planning.
"Can you two keep your bedroom chatter in the bedroom?" Kakashi asked.
"We are in public." Sakura continued. "It's not right to hold private conversations out in the open, someone that can be easily influenced might here something they shouldn't." Naruto looked away just in time to see the pink haired chuunin crack her knuckles threateningly, an annoyed look evident on her face. Sasuke heard said knuckles crack and turned to look straight forward, his smirk disappearing behind a mask of indifference.
"Completely true. I wouldn't want some poor innocent hearing all about the dirty things Naruto and I do in the middle of the night." Sasuke shrugged his shoulders casually as if he was talking about the weather. Sakura blinked owlishly, then opened her mouth to berate Sasuke for making fun of her but was interrupted by a bowl being set in front of her.
"Beef ramen for Sakura and Sasuke," Teuchi sat both bowls down quickly before turned back to pick up more bowls. "And Miso for Naruto, Kakashi and Sai." Teuchi distributed the bowls to them and wiped his hands with a towel. "Enjoy!"
"Itadakimasu!" Naruto yelled out and grabbed a pair of chopsticks enthusiastically.
"Thank you for the meal." Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi and Sai all muttered simultaneously as they grabbed their own pairs of chopsticks. Teuchi gave them all one last nod before turning around to go about his business. All five them started to eat their meals, Naruto the loudest, slurping obnoxiously as he enjoyed his miso flavored noodles. After a few minutes Sakura straightened herself and looked to her left, and then to her right.
"You know, this feels like old times again." Sakura smiled softly. No one answered her, all too busy eating, Naruto didn't even hear her but Sasuke glanced over to her quickly before looking back into his half emptied bowl. As much as Sasuke wanted to deny it, even with Sai, it did feel like old times and he was enjoying almost every minute of it.
