Such a fast update! Yeah, I felt like writing something else today and it turned out to be this story. Kind of a filler chapter perhaps. I tried giving it some funny notes and in the end a little fluff ending. I also dropped some hints on what could be the drama in the in health part, but didn't make it too obvious!

Also I am co-writing another SasuNaru story, for a while now, but we are quite slow. It's a letter exchange between Sasuke and Naruto and I am writing Sasuke's letters! This is the link: s/9332456/1/Dear And I would love it if you checked it out :)

Enjoy this bit!

...

Naruto, dressed in something that was apparently still considered as clothing, was ready to go home and Sasuke was very ready to take him there. A big orange sweatshirt hang loosely around Naruto's body, showing off how much weight he really lost the last couple of months. But Sasuke would be sure he would be filling that shirt up nicely again. No, scratch that. Sasuke would make sure he would get some nice clothes he could fill up perfectly. Orange was not a good colour, ever. Why Naruto loved it so much, was a mystery to the raven.

Currently Sasuke was pushing Naruto forward in a wheelchair. The blonde was saying goodbye to everyone, acting very cheerful and just overly happy. And that was exactly the way Sasuke was feeling inside. He just wouldn't show it as much as his lover did. The only sign was that smile on his lips, giving him a softer look than he normally wore.

It just felt so good to go home and have Naruto to come with him this time. Even after the surgery it had taken two weeks before Naruto was officially declared healthy. His blood was clean and the tumour was successfully removed. He did need a check-up every two weeks now, but he wouldn't be living in this cold white hospital anymore. Instead he would be with Sasuke and they would be so happy together. Things were really looking up for them.

'Make sure you make an appointment with Sakura, Naruto. I don't want the extra work of calling you and reminding you of it,' Tsunade said sternly as they passed the woman.

Naruto just shot her a bright smile in response. 'Of course not!' he called out. 'I would never forget such a thing.' And as he turned to face the front again, a grim look formed on his face. Yeah, he of course had forgotten about that. Sasuke would have to arrange it all apparently. Of course he would force Naruto to go every appointment and remind him of it. His blonde would stay healthy this time. There would be no other outcome. Naruto would stay healthy.

Finally getting to the end of the hallway, they made an appointment with Sakura. Sasuke made sure it would be during a time he could get off of work. He would come along and be a support to Naruto. They would go through this together as they had done with everything else.

And then it was all over. They were going down with the elevator now and it brought back some memories of their first date together. But this time they didn't stop at that floor either. They went all the way down and stepped out in the busy hall of the hospital. Such a strange feeling for Naruto who hadn't been around people for a while. On one hand it felt comforting, but on the other hand it felt like it was swallowing him whole, as if he was disappearing in the mass.

But Sasuke wheeled him out and now they were outside again. For the first time in months Naruto was out in the fresh hair. Sasuke stopped the wheelchair and put it on its breaks. A nurse was already standing by to retrieve it once Naruto was out. Walking around the chair and standing in front of the blonde, Sasuke extended both his hands and waited for Naruto to grab them. With a smile the blonde gladly took them and was pulled out of the chair, landing right against Sasuke's chest. Of course he had pulled too hard.

They just stood there for a moment, in each other's arms. Sasuke was planning on doing that more often. Have more places where he was allowed to touch Naruto in a loving way. Not just the hospital anymore. Just everywhere where he could.

'Shouldn't we be getting home, Sasuke?' Naruto said softly, a chuckle lingering in his voice. Slowly the raven retracted his arms, very reluctantly of course. But Naruto was right. They had to go if they actually wanted to do something today. Mostly just settling in of course and maybe have some other kinds of fun… Although he was supposed to treat Naruto with care and he couldn't put the blonde under too much pressure. He was still recovering from the surgery.

Taking Naruto's hand in his, they started walking towards his car. 'Yeah, yeah. Just enjoying our moments together,' he mumbled, unlocking the car with his remote to notify Naruto that was his car. Maybe he had remembered, but it wasn't likely.

'I think we have other moments to enjoy,' Naruto said sweetly wrapping an arm around Sasuke's waist instead of holding his hand and looking up at the raven. 'Like driving home together, cooking dinner together and of course sleeping together.' The double meaning to the last part was clearly heard by Sasuke and his eyes immediately moved over to Naruto's face.

The teasing smile there said enough. 'Hn, I think we should hurry on home then and enjoy those moments.' Smoothly he opened the door and practically threw Naruto inside, because now he certainly wanted to go home. His body was buzzing at this point. But would he have to wait until they were actually going to bed or would they just start immediately? Oh how Sasuke wanted the latter.

Getting in the car himself, he sped off, the need to get home even bigger now. But of course everything was against them. Traffic lights, train tracks and even some road work were stopping them from getting home. And now they were simply stuck, in this damn traffic. Saying that Sasuke was annoyed, was an understatement and it cracked Naruto up. The twitching of the perfectly sculpted raven eyebrow. The eyes closed in annoyance when a car cut him off again. And then of course the tightening of hands around the wheel, the knuckles turning white in the process. It was just very enjoyable for Naruto.

'Relax a little, man. We'll be home quick enough. Can't we just talk a little or something?' Maybe it was better for Sasuke's heart to just calm down. Even if Naruto enjoyed looking at his lover and seeing the stress moving through Sasuke's body.

Sasuke glanced out of the corner of his eyes at Naruto, not really feeling like responding to that. He rather just curse at the traffic around him in his head and wish they would all just vanish. 'What do you want to talk about?' he asked in a monotone, knowing he would otherwise answer with a sneer. But it wasn't Naruto's fault that this was all happening now. This was just supposed to be the perfect day. They were supposed to be home by now and enjoy living together. Sasuke wanted this day to be special, just like their date had been. But now they would be home late and they wouldn't be able to do anything special. Naruto still slept rather early, needing the sleep to recover faster.

A hand landed on his shoulder, squeezing it softly in reassurance. 'If you make a right here, we can get some Chinese take-out. Then we don't have to cook and can just relax on the couch as we watch some random show on TV,' he offered in a soft and relaxing voice, making Sasuke visualise that moment together. It was a good idea really. So Sasuke made the right turn, cutting off all those assholes that had done it to him before. Payback, bitches.

Naruto insisted he would get the food while Sasuke waited in the car. Why Sasuke had no idea and he didn't like it at all, but he was practically forced to stay there. Naruto really just wanted to do something like this on his own and shake off his dependence. He didn't want Sasuke to baby him and it wasn't that hard to get take-out. Hopefully though he would pick the right food Sasuke actually liked.

And of course Naruto made it back safely, with two bags of food. It seemed like quite a lot and Sasuke wasn't sure where Naruto was going to leave it all. But he wouldn't question it and gladly put some leftovers in the fridge. Like one of those entire bags.

'So what did you get?' Sasuke asked casually, pulling out of the parking lot and getting back on the road. Surprisingly it wasn't that busy anymore. Now they could get home easily! Would Sasuke's death wish have come true and everyone just vanished? That was a very pleasing thought…

Naruto shrugged his shoulders in responds and opened one of the bags. 'Just a menu and then some more stuff. Also I got some fortune cookies. Thought it would be fun.' He smiled cheekily at Sasuke, sticking out his tongue when he noticed the raven rolled his eyes. Sasuke did think it was a nice gesture, but fortune cookies always had the lamest sayings in them. Sometimes they almost looked like a horoscope or something like that. It just wasn't Sasuke's thing really…

'Well, I hope you got as some nice dinner then, because I don't want to eat something disgusting,' he answered plainly and saw the blonde huff and cross his arms in front of his chest. But Naruto couldn't keep from smiling when the smell of the food wafted up and the heat in his lap was keeping him nice and warm.

Before they knew it, Sasuke was already pulling into the driveway, the ride home going as fast as he had planned originally. It really was only a twenty minute drive, but they did it in over an hour now. Not that weird that Sasuke was annoyed, right?

They both got out. Naruto was out before Sasuke could even think about helping him, but Naruto wanted to do it all on his own. So he carried the bags to the door and then waited impatiently until Sasuke finally opened the front door. He didn't really want to admit it, but he was growing tired and he didn't want to walk anymore. His body was aching for Sasuke's soft couch where Naruto would just relax in the raven's arms and slowly ate his dinner. It was just the perfect vision Naruto had on this moment.

'If you put everything out on the table, then I'll get us some plates,' Sasuke ordered as he took off his shoes, walking through the hallway towards the kitchen afterwards. He just assumed Naruto still remembered where his living room would be from the last time he had visited. Which was a very long time ago and still quite a good memory. It was where it all had started. 'Do you want something to drink?' Sasuke asked as he eyed the fridge, noting he really didn't have much. Tomorrow they probably should go out for grocery shopping and of course getting Naruto's stuff from somewhere. Where was it all anyway?

Almost everything was now set out on the table when Sasuke called towards him and Naruto glanced up from his task, blinking as he thought about that. What did he want to drink? 'Do you have any milk? I haven't had in such a long time. That stuff at the hospital was disgusting.'

A chuckle rose up from the kitchen, knowing exactly how horrible everything at the hospital had been. Naruto was going to eat like a king here, even if it wasn't that special. Everything was better than the stuff they served at the hospital. 'Yeah, I got some. Sit down and I'll be there in a minute.' And Sasuke didn't need to say that again. Naruto flopped down and sighed softly, glad he was allowed to sit again. He really had no energy anymore, but what did you expect? He hadn't moved much in the past couple months. Slowly he would need to work on his fitness again.

After another moment Sasuke finally came out of the kitchen carrying two plates on his arm and two glasses in each hand. Something he had picked up when he had worked as a waiter so long ago. Just a distant memory now. He settled everything down and sat down beside his lover. Slowly Naruto opened his eyes and looked to the side, smiling when their gazes met.

'Food's ready,' Sasuke said simply and turned away, bending forward to scoop some of the food onto his plate, but was stopped when Naruto suddenly spoke up.

'Can we start with the fortune cookies?' he asked excitedly and with another roll of the eyes, Sasuke just let him. Ignoring that Naruto grabbed one of the two and broke it open, the cookie crumbling to pieces in his hand and mostly landing on the floor. Great, Sasuke would have to clean again… 'Aw, this one is cute,' Naruto announced and shot Sasuke a loving look. 'Love conquers all.'

Such a sappy saying. It was sweet and sort of had a meaning for them, but still it made Sasuke just roll his eyes. It was just such bullshit. Reluctantly he then reached for his own and broke it open. The message kind of surprised him, but he didn't want to show Naruto that, so he said something entirely different. 'Hn, it's one of those help messages from the people in the factory.'

'What?!' Naruto called out and started reaching for the paper slip. 'No it's not!' And when he caught Sasuke's hand and actually got a look, he smacked the raven against his chest. 'Liar! I thought someone needed our help!' He gave Sasuke another push and then it just turned into something of a careful wrestling match where Sasuke eventually managed to capture Naruto's lips in a kiss.

How strange was it that he had gotten a message like that? So fitting and yet a little terrifying as well.

In sickness and in health. Till death do us part.

Let me know what you think!

Now I can possibly do a lemon in the next chapter, but I can also pretend that it happened. So do we want a soft and loving sex scene or do we want to see the moving in continue? You may decide!
