Somehow the Uzumaki's routine didn't change much after the spouses' reconciliation. Naruto would still be working most of the time, while Hinata and Kawaki tried to manage the household with their own mission and training schedules. The only thing new was that Kawaki now slept in their bedroom. Hinata found it comforting not to be alone anymore, spending nights looking at the ceiling or pacing restlessly. Usually, when Naruto got home it was late already and he'd wake her up gently to make love to her, while Kawaki would be asleep or so close to be it wouldn't make a difference. But when the Hokage would return home earlier, they'd spent a lively evening which would end in an endless night of passion. And everytime, Hinata would be the first up and about in the morning, seeming to enjoy being alone just for a bit in the silence of the early hours of the day. The men would rather sleep late since Naruto was so tired all the time and Kawaki a heavy sleeper.

One of those mornings, Hinata had departed with the dawn on a mission and when Naruto patted the sheets to find her, he remembered she'd told him she'd be gone for a couple of days. Still half asleep, he yawned, decided to go back to sleep, and stretched only to bump his arm on Kawaki's back. Then he lazily rolled on the side and spooned against the younger man for warmth. Sliding his hand on Kawaki's narrow and bony hip, he smiled for himself realizing the touch had nothing in common with Hinata's soft curves. He quickly dozed off again, and when Kawaki finally woke up he was startled to feel Naruto's arm around him, his breath on his neck and his awkward boner against his back. With absolutely no clue as to what was going on, Kawaki just froze and listened to the Hokage's slow breathing until he was sure he was asleep. Trying to escape only resulted in getting cozier, and Naruto then started to wake up, cuddling closer. Somehow feeling the young man's tension through senses dulled by sleep, he sighed.

- No one's gonna hurt you. he mumbled.

Kawaki couldn't believe how thick the man could be sometimes, and decided that maybe he needed a bit of explanation. So he ran his hand along Naruto's thigh and then arched his back against his cock. That sure got the message home. Maybe the Hokage wasn't even aware of it at first, but suddenly he was wide awake and wondering why he was so horny. Before he could think things through, caresses and low moaning were filling his mind, and he realized he was pressing his cock against Kawaki's ass.

- I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. he whispered, bewildered.

- I noticed. Kawaki teased.

- Come on, until recently the best I could manage was a pissed off wife.

That made them laugh, but Kawaki had made up his mind. Turning around, he slipped under the sheets and helped Naruto get rid of his night clothes. Then he started to suck his cock, remembering the first time he'd done that with Hinata's help. It had been easier then, carried in the momentum. Having such a huge cock for breakfast was after all quite unusual, but he made the best of it. Before long Naruto completely surrendered. Hinata was not shy and would often offer the same, but he'd never thought it could be so different with another person. Carried away, he pushed himself deeper down Kawaki's throat, holding him, until finally he choked. Ashamed of himself, and even more of knowing he had loved doing it, Naruto quickly apologized. But before he could say much, the young man had turned around, spooning closer, guiding his elder's cock inside him. Afraid to hurt him, Naruto let him have his way, and clearly Kawaki was enjoying himself. There was a madness in this, watching his wife's lover begging to be fucked harder, and at some point he was too excited to care for anything. Pushing Kawaki's face into a pillow, he grabbed him by the hips and mercilessly used him. Wide moves would make the young man crazy, begging for more. At some point, Kawaki stopped his pleading and cuddled in a tight embrace, settling for a slow lovemaking that threatened to push him over the edge a dozen times. Despite Naruto's clumsiness, he was enjoying it way too much and it was that realization that finally overwhelmed him. The intensity of Kawaki's reaction seemed to surprise the Hokage, and watching such abandonment and bliss was soon too much to bear for him too. Having made a mess, they took a long time catching their breaths and getting back to reality.

- That was unexpected. Naruto mumbled, disbelieving.

- Was it ? Kawaki laughed.

Incredibly, that made the Hokage blush, and Kawaki felt a bit of remorse. For sure, the man's life hadn't exactly been smooth sailing, maybe he should have been a bit more thoughtful. A long silence followed and Kawaki contemplated getting back to sleep, even though it was very late already. In order to force himself awake, he poked the Hokage, before noticing his sour expression.

- What's on your mind ?

- Just contemplating my many mistakes.

- Oh come on now ! Spare me the self pity.

- You never took sides, did you ? After all I did, to Boruto, and Konohamaru, you never said a word about all of it.

- My job is to protect you. Kawaki grumbled, suddenly uneasy and shy. Besides, Boruto can take care of himself. He'll get around eventually, and if not… Well, I'll kick his ass and be done with it.

- I'd rather things not getting this far.

- You know how to make him happy. Kawaki sighed. Step down as Hokage. Let him come back and do things his way.

- I'm not sure I can do that. Not yet anyway. And won't that make things worse ?

- Depends.

The conversation wasn't one Kawaki wanted to have with the Hokage, not in bed, not ever. Fumbling to find his shirt, he was now very determined to get up and flee.

- You know something about this. Naruto suddenly accused, but not as vehemently as Kawaki was expecting.

- That's none of my business. I do what I want.

- Kawaki, you need to tell me. Is there really a cabal amidst my people as Shikamaru fear there is ?

- A what ? No, nothing like this. But you know… Old geezer's opinion on how the village should be run, it doesn't make everyone happy. People think you shouldn't listen that much to the Elders.

- They're here for a reason.

- I know, but that's how it is. No one wants you harm, they just hope for a new Hokage and a change in policy, that's all.

- I don't want to push her…

- Sarada ?! You're holding her back. Kawaki laughed. You don't want to deal with this mess ? Let her take care of it herself instead.

- I'm too afraid of what would come out of it…

- Stop fretting. They would not hurt each other.

- How can you be so sure about it !

- They're Konoha shinobis for fuck's sake. You guys would die rather than let a friend down.
