A/N: Hey all my wonderful fanfic readers, I'm so unbelievably sorry that I haven't uploaded a new chap in what seems like forever. I'll explain it in the author's note at the end of this chapter.
Anyways this is a NaruxSasu fanfic, with boyxboy stuff. If you don't like don't read, like I seriously don't understand people who read fics they hate and then have the audacity to bash the author :(
Oh before I forget, I am a Sakura fan but I had to bash her in this fic a bit so sorry about that :O
Naruto is strictly property of Kishimoto-sama and I really wish I owned the nail polish the Akatsuki members use xD
P.S: The title of this chapter was inspired by Titanic xD
Chapter 8: To making it count
A sudden high pitched banshee scream was what had Sasuke bolting up from the depths of his delicious slumber the following morning. He looked around frantically, while still disoriented, to look for the source of the accursed sound only for his eyes to land on his baby boy's energetically bouncing body.
Shirosuke woke up early like he usually did everyday and went to the loo for a much needed pee session. After brushing his teeth all by himself while thinking about what a big boy he was, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with his daddy last night.
While gasping ridiculously loud, he started thinking about Naruto-nii becoming his new daddy and was overwhelmed with the amount of excitement he felt. It was like being on a sugar rush.
So with that taken into account, he bolted towards his father's room and squealed loudly in absolute delight when he saw Naruto-nii sleeping in the same bed as his beloved daddy.
"Shirosuke, what the heck? It's like six in the morning," said Sasuke groggily while squinting to check the time on the tiny clock on his study desk.
Sasuke nudged Naruto awake who surprisingly was still asleep after the aforementioned noise that would have even woken up the dead.
The blond teen sluggishly sat up while rubbing his eyes with one hand and using the other to wipe a small streak of drool off the corner of his mouth. He sleepily mumbled something along the lines of 'w-what?' before spotting Shirosuke and automatically smiling.
"Good morning buddy, did you sleep nicely?' he asked while yawning and Shiro hopped onto the bed so he could be near his favorite people.
"Uh huh!" he said while bouncing on the bed, his excitement far from dwindling. "I came to say morning to daddy then I saw you and I got sooooooo super excited!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Sasuke placed his adorable son on his lap and started kissing and tickling him, the smaller raven squealing in delight. Naruto started laughing with Shiro and decided to tag team with Sasuke and tickle the toddler till he had tears at the corner of his brilliant blue eyes.
"Okay I think that's enough excitement for one morning so let's get up and go get something to eat," said Sasuke while getting up and stretching.
The massage last night helped prevent some of the soreness his body felt every morning and he was thankful for that. He shot Naruto a small smile and the blond beamed back in response.
After cleaning his room up and using the bathroom, the three of them walked to the kitchen to find something to eat. They found the rest of the house's occupations in the kitchen, the smell of fried eggs getting stronger the closer they got.
"Oooooh French toast, I haven't had this in like forever," said Naruto excitedly as he placed five on a plate and two for Shiro.
Sasuke rolled his eyes at Naruto's antics because of how childish he is and sifted through the fridge to look for some ingredients to make a salad.
Don't get him wrong, the teen Uchiha was definitely not gonna eat salad only for breakfast. Itachi made the best French toast in the entire universe so there was no way he was passing that up. He just didn't like the thought of only eating the deliciously greasy French toast without something to somehow balance the grease.
Anyways after he was done making a simple lettuce and avo salad, he put two slices on his plate and went to go sit down and eat.
Naruto was already on his forth slice by the time the raven sat down and Shiro was starting to nibble on his second one. Itachi and Dei both had a half eaten slice on their plate although it was unknown how much they had eaten. Two, three, ten (Deidara was a French toast monster), the number could be anything.
The news was on and the news reporter was talking about some fancy festival that was taking place next week at Konoha Times Square.
'Jeeze, is one month too much to ask for. Seriously Konoha is fucking obsessed with having festivals,' thought the raven to himself as he sat down and started munching on his toast. Itachi shoveled some of the salad onto his plate knowing only Sasuke and himself would eat it.
Sasuke tried feeding pieces of avocado to his son while he was distracted and he surprisingly ate quite a bit before he realized what he was chewing and gave his father a pouty look.
The teen father laughed at the cuteness and pat his son of his head before continuing to eat. Shiro didn't hate avocado's per se, he ate them but only in very tiny amounts.
After everyone was done eating, they just laid around watching TV some more. Clearly everyone was in a lazy mood. Since it was a Saturday, it was their chill day so they did just that, chill.
"We should totally all go to the festival yeah," said Deidara suddenly causing everyone to turn towards him. Some cartoon about bugs and friendship was playing on TV but it was immediately forgotten.
"Where's this coming from?" asked Itachi nonchalantly while brushing a stray bang behind Deidara's ear causing said man to blush.
"I dunno, un. We haven't done anything fun in a while so this is like the perfect opportunity for us to have a great time as a family," he said while giving Itachi the best version of innocent doe eyes he could muster.
Itachi looked at Sasuke and gave him an inquiring brow as to ask his opinion on this. The eldest Uchiha didn't have a problem going out and he and Dei always had great date nights at least once a week at some random place. Sasuke was definitely the more introverted from the two of them.
The raven teen looked to his left to see both Naruto and Shiro giving him cute glowy anime eyes and he resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He never did that in front of his son in case the boy started doing it. He turned to his right and saw his two brothers give him the same look although Itachi's wasn't as intense.
"Yeah yeah, we can go," he reluctantly said and Deidara, Naruto and Shiro started doing a celebratory dance. Itachi laughed at how comical they looked and Sasuke couldn't help but crack a small smile at his weird yet perfect family.
After enjoying a peaceful and relaxing day with his boyfriend and son, Itachi and Deidara left a couple hours ago to go to some art gallery that just opened up somewhere near the university, Sasuke's peace and quiet just had to be destroyed.
The doorbell rang about three times before he reluctantly got up to answer the door, Naruto was watching some beluga whale videos with Shiro and the two of them were cackling away like two hyenas.
Just as the doorbell rang for the forth time, Sasuke wrenched the door open so fast that it was a miracle that it was still attached to the hinges.
Kiba yelled and flinched at the violence displayed, stumbling backwards and falling comically on his ass. This caused Sasuke to smirk, his anger all but disapating. He looked up and saw Shikamaru, Gaara, Neji and Lee and gestured for them to come inside.
"Jeeze Sasuke, warn a guy next time," said Kiba as he began dusting his pants off before stepping in.
"You ringing the doorbell four times should have been ample warning," scoffed the Uchiha while walking into the kitchen to get them something to drink. He returned with seven sodas and some snacks and placed them on coffee table in the lounge.
The guys looked at him questionably at the number of soda cans present on the table thinking he had somehow lost his mind. Just as Neji was about to ask him about it, Naruto walked into the room with Shiro attacked to his hip.
When the little boy saw Gaara, his eyes beamed and he wiggled out of Naruto's grasp to go hug the redhead. Although Gaara was the least talkative member in their entire friend group and was certainly the scariest amongst the strange bunch, Shiro liked him the most after his beloved Naruto-nii.
Gaara awkwardly returned the hug, not liking how many eyes were on him and ruffled Shiro's silky hair.
"Hey kiddo, how you've been?" he asked as the boy tried climbing onto the couch.
"I've been okay Gaara-nii. I hope you're okay and that you've been drinking lots of milk so you can sleep better at night?" he inquired innocently causing a few snickers to which the redhead glared at them in response.
Gaara told Shiro about his insomnia after the child shyly asked him about the dark circles under his eyes and after the toddler asked his father what 'insomnia' was, he decided to self diagnose the redhead and decided he needed more milk in his system. Milk was the cure to everything in his mind.
"Yes I have, twice a day as recommended by Dr. Uchiha," said Gaara causing the tiny raven to crack an adorable pearly smile.
"So I'm sure the real question on everyone's mind right now is what the fu-flipper happened last night?" asked Kiba while opening his can of coke. Sasuke narrowed his eyes for the umpteenth time at the brunette's almost slip at swearing in front of his son causing Kiba to smile sheepishly.
"Naruto and I are together now, the end," replied Sasuke boredly although his rapidly beating heart at that statement was anything but bored at the moment.
"THIS IS MOST WONDERFUL NEWS FRIEND SASUKE. I AM CERTAINLY MOST EXCITED THAT THE SPRING TIME OF YOUTH HAS BLESSED YOU BOTH. YOU MAKE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PAIR!" exclaimed Lee while bear hugging the couple.
Sasuke gave Neji a 'what the actual fuck look' since he barely new this green clad idiot who was hugging him with such vigor as if they've been pals for years. They just met yesterday for crying out loud.
"Lee you're gonna crush them if you continue hugging them any longer," replied Neji causing the bushy eyed teen to blush in realization.
"My humblest apologizes friend Naruto, friend Sasuke! My excitement has caused me to act rather foolishly!" said Lee shyly although his voice was still a pitch higher than what one would consider normal.
"You see Lee is what we'd call exuberant," said Neji while pinching the the bridge of his nose to ward of any impeding headaches.
"Ya think," replied Sasuke sarcastically which was heard by everyone except Lee who was now fussing over how unbelievably adorable Shirosuke is.
Shiro was clearly enjoying all the attention he was receiving from the strange man while the rest of the gang spoke with each other. Sasuke kept on glancing at Shiro to see if he was okay and then narrowed his eyes at his friends.
"I swear if my son magically absorbs some of Lee's extravagant energy, I'm gonna end you all," warned the teen dangerously. The guys chuckled nervously, silently afraid of Sasuke's threat becoming a reality.
"Uh anyways what happened after we dropped you guys off?" asked Shikamaru finding this to be the perfect distraction.
"Uhm well we talked for a bit, then we got angry with each other and started yelling blah blah blah then I walked out coz we were too mad to talk properly then Sasuke stopped me blah blah blah we kissed and made up, now we're together. The end, who's hungry?" said the over the top blond teen with a big goofy smile on his face.
Sasuke blushed at his boyfriend mentioning them kissing and coughed to divert the attention from knowing looks from his friends.
"Anyways we came to ask you both if you wanted to hang out today?" asked Kiba while looking at his phone to check the time. It was shortly after four so the night was still young.
"As much as I love hanging out with you guys, I have a kid to look after so I can't just go off partying at the drop of a hat," replied Sasuke sarcastically and Kiba looked at the rest of the gang for backup.
"We can always do something with him included, it doesn't necessarily have to include partying," stated Gaara while Shiro showed him a drawing he made of the redhead a couple days ago.
"Yeah what he said," replied Kiba enthusiastically.
"And what exactly do you guys propose?" asked Sasuke while trying to wrack his brain on the limited amount of activities they could do with Shiro.
Sports in general was a big no since Sasuke's body was too weak to handle such strain. He was told that light exercising was allowed and running was strictly prohibited. The treadmill that they had courtesy of Deidara who loved exercising, was too intense for him so he knew exactly what to avoid.
So that meant that there was no rock climbing, no biking, no skateboarding, no obstacle courses, no basketball and no football. These were things that he used to enjoy back before his kidney problems began.
"Let's just go to the park. The weather is perfect today," said Naruto as he looked at Sasuke with understanding. Sasuke nodded even though he wasn't gonna do much other that just sit and watch.
"To the park it is," whooped Kiba loudly causing Naruto, Shiro and Lee to whoop back in response. The rest of the gang just smirked as they looked at their idiotic friends.
They left the house after roughly fifteen minutes and walked to the park. Naruto and Kiba insisted that they buy some snacks on the way so they stopped by the supermarket only to emerge with more snacks they knew what to do with.
Anyways when they finally got to the park, there was fortunately not many people there. There was a teenage couple making out by the swings, an elderly couple walking by the flowers, some kids climbing a tree and a lady throwing a Frisbee at her gigantic white bear of a dog. It was a big park might I add.
Upon seeing the dog, Kiba ran towards it and once the dog spotted him, it excitedly tackled him to the ground.
The guys just gave each other 'what the fuck' looks until something clicked in Naruto's head suddenly.
"Woah is that seriously Akamaru? He's a freaking giant now!" replied the blond exasperatedly.
"There's no way. It's physically impossible for dogs to grow that big," replied Neji in deep thought as the group sat down by some benches.
Sasuke placed Shiro down only for the child to be scooped up by Naruto who started running around with him like a dumb ass making the toddler squeal in laughter. Lee started chasing Naruto who tried escaping from the green clad boy only to be caught seconds later. I mean come on, it's Lee, captain of the track team we're talking about.
While Naruto was trying to escape from Lee yet again, Kiba strolled over with the bear dog and the mystery woman. She looked at Sasuke and started blushing at him.
"Yo guys, you remember my sister Hana. She just came back from her studies abroad," he announced causing Gaara, Shikamaru and Neji to gawk in shock thus causing Hana to burst out laughing.
"Your faces look ridiculous," she managed before laughing again and Sasuke was looking at the guys to explain what the heck was going on. Naruto and Lee heard her voice and were gawking at her now as well.
"She used to be this skinny stick of a person with a head too big for her neck to support yeesh," explained Kiba with some slight shivers which earned a scowl from his sister.
"Yeah the way I remember it, is that this skinny stick of a person used to beat each one of your big ol' heads into the ground hmph," she stated with her arms folded and a dangerous glint in her eye.
The guys sweat dropped sans Sasuke and Shiro and they started talking about how amazingly wonderful she is as an attempt to sugar coat her.
"Wow Hana, I barely even recognized you. You're like hot now," said Naruto and she made a girly laugh of flattery and brushed her fingers through her hair.
"Still quite the charmer I see," she said and he gave her one of his Uzumaki trademark grins.
"By the way Hana, this hot hunk of flesh over here is Sasuke. He's my boyfriend," he said proudly with his thumb pointing towards his chest as if to say 'yes that's my man'.
"Woah really?! If blockhead is his type then, I have no right to judge right," she said causing everyone to snicker at Naruto's expense.
"Hey what's that supposed to mean? I see you're definitely as mean as always," hmphed the blond while glaring at Hana.
"Ya know I'm just teasing. Who's the cutie in your arms by the way?" she asked as she ruffled Naruto's already unruly locks.
"That would be my son, Shirosuke," replied Sasuke while getting up and walking towards them.
Shiro hid his face in Naruto's neck, a sign that he was feeling shy at the sudden attention on him. The teen Uchiha took him from Naruto and Shiro now hid his face by his father's neck.
"Awwwwwh he is so adorable," cooed Hana as she attempted to see his face. Shiro took a peek at her and she squealed at how cute he is thus causing him to hide his face again.
"Uhm Naruto if you don't mind me asking, how is it that you recognized that the dog was Akamaru?" asked Shikamaru and everyone's attention turned towards the Uzumaki teen.
"Seriously, Kiba's forever showing us pics of the dog whenever he gets the chance and if I recall correctly, Neji told Kiba and I quote 'Oh so help me God if you show me another pic of your dumb ass dog, I will kill you then sew your eyelids and lips shut'."
"What did you guys expect? It was becoming absolutely ridiculous, I really pity my cousin for being with a foolish idiot such as yourself," replied Neji exasperatedly while thinking about his poor cousin Hinata's sanity.
"Hey Hinata loves me and she loves Akamaru too," replied the brunette defensively to which Neji mumbled something along the lines of 'mmm whatever you say'.
The group then decided to indulge in the snacks they brought and after eating, Naruto, Kiba, Lee, Shiro and Akamaru were running and playing around while the rest of the group sat and talked.
Hana asked them what they were all studying and then proceeded to talk about some special veterinarian program she was in and now that she finally graduated, she was gonna start her own practice.
She also tried to pry some of the latest juicy gossip in their friend group but she was clearly asking the wrong guys. Sasuke, Gaara, Neji and Shikamaru were definitely the wrong people to ask about gossips and stuff.
The sun was just beginning to set when they decided to head back to Sasuke's place. They all came in Gaara's car which was parked in the Uchiha's driveway so after bidding Hana goodbye, she lived right across the park, they began the peaceful stroll back.
"Ahhh it was kinda nice seeing her after so long. She's definitely changed if you know what I mean," said Naruto while nudging Kiba.
"Hey that's my sister by the way but on a unrelated note, I know what you mean," he said causing the group to snicker.
"I wonder if she finally found a boyfriend," pondered Shikamaru since she used to scare guys away with her scary and violent behavior.
"Ewww gross Shika, I didn't know you saw her in that way," cried Kiba out with disgust evident on his face.
"What? No! Don't be ridiculous Kiba. Woman like here are such a drag. It'll take too much energy to be with someone like her no offense," replied the genius lazily causing Neji and Gaara to nod their heads.
"So uhm Lee, anyone special in your life?" asked Neji suddenly, his schooled expression glitching for a nano second. Everyone turned to the pearl eyed teen for a second before suddenly turning to Lee who had hearts literally radiating from him.
"OH I'M SO GLAD YOU HAVE ASKED FRIEND NEJI. I'M MOST ABSOLUTELY PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE BEAUTIFUL AND MOST RADIANT CHERRY BLOSSOM AND I ARE FINALLY TOGETHER AND WE HAVE BEEN DATING FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS NOW!!!" exclaimed Lee while literally skipping on his steps.
"WHAT?!!!" shouted everyone including Gaara. Neji looked smugly since he too was shocked when Lee had told him the news two months prior. Lee was too shy to tell anyone except him and if he brought it up I'm front of Hana, she was going to go on for herself since she and Sakura dislike one another.
Sasuke just looked at the group trying to decipher who in their right mind would want to date Lee willingly that he knew and was drawing up blanks. Neji then leaned towards Sasuke and whispered 'Sakura' causing the teens mouth to gape. He had no idea that that hoe bag was capable of staying with one man that long.
"I'm not buying it," said Gaara nonchalantly, his neutral facial expression returning. He didn't like Sakura romantically but he was starting to worry that she might have hit her head one too many a times.
"I ASSURE YOU, IT IS MOST ABSOLUTELY TRUE FRIEND GAARA. YOU MAY EVEN ASK SAKURA-CHAN YOURSELF!!!" said Lee desperately trying to convince everyone that it was indeed true.
Mumbles along the lines of 'yeah I'll definitely asked her' to 'Sakura's finally lost it' were heard which went unnoticed by Lee since he started thinking about the pinkette again.
Lee was infatuated with the green eyed girl since kindergarten, that's when he first met her. After professing his love to her continuously over the years and being rudely rejected, it looked as if he finally found his silver lining.
The gang finally reached the Uchiha residence and Sasuke spotted Deidara's car in the driveway right away.
'What are they doing home so early? Oh God no, please don't tell me they're getting it on again?' though the raven with disgust to himself. He'd caught the two of them doing the nasties too much for his own liking.
Sasuke adjusted his son in his arms who was dangerously close to falling off to sleep but was too stubborn to doze off. Uchiha and stubborn basically mean the same thing since stubbornness is part of their DNA.
The couple bid their friends goodnight and after watching them drive off, Sasuke then started ringing the doorbell like a crazy possessed person. Kiba would've been so proud. Not even five whole seconds later, the door was ripped open by a fuming Itachi.
"What the fuck Sasuke?!" bellowed the eldest Uchiha upon recognizing them, completely forgetting about the no swearing policy. He was shirtless and his usually neat hair was disheveled. There was some questionable marks tinkering his collar bone and neck causing Naruto to look at everything except him.
"I most certainly didn't want to walk in on you being all nasty and gross with your horny tinkerbell fairy of a boyfriend and soil my innocent son's eyes. Therefore I politely rung the doorbell," replied Sasuke sarcastically with a look of disgust while waltzing in, Naruto following shyly with a deep blush adorning his cheeks.
"Urg mark my words Sasuke Uchiha, you will rue the day you have scorned me. I will have my revenge," threatened Itachi evilly with a sadistic grin before returning to his room. Naruto went a few shades paler at the threat.
"Don't mind him although I might hold him onto that. Itachi never forgets something and I know exactly how sadistic he can be," said Sasuke boredly while changing Shiro into his pj's.
Naruto was suddenly feeling paranoid and kept glancing over his shoulder, the action not going unnoticed by Sasuke.
"Relax dobe, he's not going to do anything now. We just have to wait and see what he'll do," said the raven teen while ushering Naruto into the bathroom.
The three of them then brushed their teeth and after putting Shiro in bed since the child was out now, too tired to stay awake after all that playing, the couple went into the kitchen to get something to eat.
Itachi brought home pizza for supper so they snagged a couple of slices and went to the lounge to watch something and eat. Wipeout was playing and they laughed while eating when the contestants fell on the obstacles.
"This show never gets old," laughed Naruto while draping an arm around Sasuke's waist to start cuddling with the teen. The raven 'hn'ed' in response and was thoroughly enjoying his boyfriend's warmth.
Naruto then started being sneaky and started placed light kisses on Sasuke's face which prompted the raven to turn his face and kiss his blond on the mouth.
Although shocked by his boyfriend's sudden boldness, he returned the kiss with equal vigor and before they knew it, the kiss turned from gentle to rather steamy and passionate.
They kissed repetitively, each kiss becoming more hungrier until a clearing throat sound was heard and they turned to see Itachi looking at them with an evil smirk.
"Seriously Sasuke? You're such a horny fucker," said the eldest Uchiha with an evil smirk while strolling into the kitchen to take some pizza for him and his boyfriend.
"Hmph takes one to know one," retorted Sasuke after having failed to think of a better comeback.
Itachi merely smiled innocently while he took his own sweet time pouring some juice into some very tall glasses just to annoy Sasuke. Oh and this definitely wasn't his revenge, he was merely preparing his foolish little brother for what lies ahead.
"Talk about annoying," mumbled the raven causing Naruto to snicker. The blond liked seeing their childish sides especially since the Uchiha brothers appeared all prim and proper. With that being said, he was still terrified of what Itachi may do.
"Hey Naru, can you go wake Shiro up while I warm up some pizza for him and make him some warm milk?" asked Sasuke gently and Naruto blushed at the nickname.
"Sure no problem," he replied and stole one last kiss before getting up.
Sasuke then got up and after placing two slices into the microwave, he then found a pot and placed it on the stove. He always boiled milk for his baby on the stove, just like his mother used to do for him and Itachi when they were little. The raven then searched for a vanilla pod and placed it into the boiling milk with a couple of pinches of cinnamon.
After tasting it to make sure it was just right, he then poured the milk into five cups. Yeah, yeah, the Uchiha boys liked drinking warm milk before bed, so what.
He then proceeded to take two to his brother's room to which Itachi smirked at him evilly once more before smiling gently when he noticed the milk. He took them and after expressing his thanks, he retreated towards his artistic boyfriend.
Sasuke then placed the three remaining mugs in the lounge just as Naruto emerged with a sleepy eyed Shiro. Upon noticing food, the toddler woke up a little more and began eating slowly. Naruto changed the channels and gasped when he saw Alvin and the Chipmunks was on.
The blond started drinking his warm milk and could practically feel himself float from a single sip.
"Damn this is good Sasu," moaned the teen and Sasuke's brain almost short circuit from the nickname.
"Thanks but next time I'll cut off your tongue if you come with your potty mouth near my Shiro," replied Sasuke sweetly.
"Oh sorry, it just slipped out. Won't happen again," replied the blond sheepishly with his pinky out so he could make a pinky promise.
This caused Sasuke to burst out laughing but he still laced his own pinky with Naruto's then stamped their thumbs together to seal the deal. They then shared a simple kiss, then the three of them snuggled against each other and enjoyed their first night officially together.
A/N: There you go my wonderful people, I hope this chapter was worth the wait. I'm trying to make this fic a little bit long so there is gonna be alot of filler scenes ;p
Anyways I really apologize for the delay in getting this chapter out. It's nothing too serious or anything but I've been suffering from depression for about sixteen years now since my dad passes away. You feel okay for a while then boom, the sadness and pain hits you out of nowhere and then you just can't escape the depressive feelings.
I was like that for a few months but I'm feeling slightly better now. I actually started writing fanfiction as a form of therapy but sometimes things don't always help you in the way you need, they just help temporarily.
Anywho dark pasts aside, if you're enjoying this fic so far, please feel free to review. Reviews are most absolutely welcome.
Sasukiya-sama is out the building x)
