Chapter 4

Six months had passed since Naruto had arrived here and met Keigo for the first time in years. Their bond had only grown stronger over time, and on this particular evening, they found themselves enjoying a laid-back moment together, sipping on sodas. They were still too young to legally drink alcohol, a point they often lamented to each other. However, they made a pact: once they reached the legal age, they would embark on an epic bar-hopping adventure.

Their shared laughter echoed in the room as they realized how similar their thoughts were. It brought a sense of joy to Naruto, reminding him of his early days here. He smiled as he recalled the moment he and Keigo had officially become boyfriends.

Flashback

Keigo stood at a distance, a gentle smile gracing his face as he watched Naruto interact with Rumi, also known as Mirko, the rabbit hero. Keigo had played matchmaker, introducing the two, and was thrilled to see them hit it off immediately. His heart ached for Naruto, remembering the harsh life he'd led back in Konoha. He felt a pang of regret for not having known earlier that Naruto was a jinchuriki.

Kurama, on the other hand, seemed to be a decent guy. Yet, Keigo couldn't help but feel protective towards Naruto. He internally vowed to himself, "If that overgrown fox ever hurts Naruto, I swear I'll hurl him into the ocean, no matter what it takes."

As the day drew to a close, Keigo decided to treat Naruto to some ice cream. They both indulged in their favorite flavors, strawberry and vanilla. Naruto looked at Keigo, his eyes glinting with happiness, "Oh Keigo, you're so sweet."

Keigo's smile widened. "Naruto, these past couple of months have been incredible, but I want to take our relationship to the next level, if you're ready for it."

Naruto blinked in surprise, "You mean... Are you asking to be my alpha?"

Keigo nodded, "Yes, I want you to be my omega. Will you take me as your new alpha and boyfriend?"

Tears welled up in Naruto's eyes. He threw his arms around Keigo, "Oh Keigo, yes, I want you to be my alpha!"

Keigo's heart soared as he embraced Naruto, his wings wrapping around his newly accepted omega. He had yearned for this moment for so long, "My omega Naruto, I've waited so long for you," he whispered, carrying Naruto back to his place.

Naruto could hardly believe he was stepping into Keigo's home as his omega, but he understood the implications of an alpha's desire. Keigo's timing was impeccable; he was just about to enter his rut.

The door closed behind them, setting the stage for an intimate night they would remember for a long time.

Flashback ends

Meanwhile, back in the present, Naruto had overindulged on ice cream and was now nursing a brain freeze. Keigo, ever the caring alpha, carried him home and helped him settle in for the night.
