Chapter one: Toddler tears and a few drinks

The park was as loud as ever, people chatted, dogs barked and children screamed. Uchiha Sasuke sat on his usual bench reading his newspaper and drinking his coffee, trying to drown out the surrounding noise. He always favoured taking his lunch break outside of work, his colleagues were far more annoying than the people in the park. He turned the page of his paper, his eyes scanned the words, the celebrity propaganda didn't particularly interest him.

"What'cha readin' mister?" He heard a small voice ask. He folded down the top half of his newspaper. A young girl, no older than five years old stood in front of him, an innocent smile on her face, her large brown eyes shone with a childhood curiosity. Sasuke flicked his paper back up, effectively blocking the child from his view.

"Newspaper." He answered shortly, hoping that it was enough to get her to leave, he'd never had a soft spot for kids.

"What'cha drinkin'?" She asked, Sasuke grit his teeth, he came to the park for peace and quiet, not to play twenty questions with a toddler.

"Coffee." He grumbled. His patience was wearing thin, he'd been known to have a short temper. Thankfully everything went quiet, Sasuke hoped she had gotten bored and left though he didn't dare check.

"What's you name?" She asked, her age shining through with her inability to ask the question properly. Sasuke closed his paper angrily, her glared at her though she seemed unfazed and continued to smile.

"Don't you have parents to get back to?" He huffed, the young girl shook her head, her auburn hair swishing with the motion.

"I dun' know where Daddy-Naru is." She answered. Sasuke sighed, opening his paper once more.

"The you better start looking." He mumbled, most people would think him cruel but he just really didn't like kids. That's when it happened.

A sniffle.

A hiccup.

The all out wailing that followed had Sasuke cringing internally. It wouldn't be good if he was seen with a hysteric toddler, what would people think? Sasuke stood from the bench, tucking his paper under his arm and throwing his half full cup of coffee into the nearby trash can.

"Fine, fine, I'll help you find Daddy-Paru." He grumbled.

"No! It's Daddy-Naru!" She argued, correcting Sasuke's mistake.

"Whatever, what does he look like?" Sasuke asked,the park was full of people and the Uchiha would rather know what he was looking for rather than asking random strangers if they recognized the brat.

"Uhm..He's big!" She said, throwing her hands up in the air to emphasize her point. Sasuke rolled his eyes, the vague description wasn't exactly helpful. "He has spiky yellow hair, like a hedgehog!" She added with a giggle. Sasuke held back the urge to tell her that no hedgehog to ever walk the earth had been yellow. "And he has blue eyes! Like me!" She finished.

"You have brown eyes." Sasuke finished, his eyes scanning the park looking for blond, or in the toddler's view, yellow hair.

"Nuh uh, they blue!"

"They're brown."

"Blue!"

Sasuke steeled himself, her was not going to get into a full blown argument with a child who probably didn't know her ABC's. Sasuke's keen eyes caught sight of a mop of shockingly bright blond hair over by the parks resident ice cream truck. The kid was right, it was bright enough to look yellow. Sasuke approached the blond from behind and tapped the man's shoulder. When the blond turned Sasuke's breath caught in his throat. The man was a sight to be seen, his tanned skin worked well with the his blond spiky, almost unruly hair. His eyes were a bright cerulean blue, like crystalline. His smile, wide and all teeth, the strange whisker like marks on his cheek stretched with the smile. Sasuke shook himself mentally, regardless of his own sexuality and the sudden lust he was feeling, he had to remember that he had this guy's kid practically attached to his leg.

"Is this yours?" He inquired, stepping to the left to reveal the youngster who's eyes were full of dread, obviously not looking forward to being told off her by her father.

"Kiki!" The blond grinned, kneeling down with his arms outstretched. The kid ran into the open arms and was instantly swept into a tight hug. Sasuke watched as the blond's biceps flexed under the snug T-shirt he was wearing.

"Yes, she is mine, thanks for bringing her back dude." The blond said gratefully, Sasuke didn't particularly appreciate being called 'dude' but was more than happy to listen to blond's rugged voice. The Uchiha had to once again remind himself that the object of his lust had a child and probably a very pretty girlfriend or wife.

"Yes, well I'm not a babysitter, you should probably keep a better eye on it." Sasuke chided, arms folded across his chest. The blond stood, the child still in his arms. Sasuke noted that the blond was a few inches taller than himself and broader in the chest, Sasuke held back a shiver. He'd never felt so much lust for a stranger before, it irked him slightly.

"She is a handful, I only turned for a second and then she was gone. You shouldn't run away like that, okay?" He reprimanded softly. "I'm sorry if she was any trouble, I'd love to buy a drink to say thanks." The blond offered, Sasuke's stomach flipped until the tyke opened her mouth.

"Can I have juice too?" She asked sweetly, the blond grinned and agreed. Not exactly the beverage Sasuke had in mind.

"As tempting as juice sounds I'll have to pass." He respectfully declined, her turned to make his leave, he;d have to get back to work soon.

"Wait! I didn't get your name, I'm Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto said, catching up to the retreating Uchiha, he held out his free hand in the offer of a handshake.

"Uchiha Sasuke." He replied, not bothering to return the gesture. Naruto didn't seemed fazed by Sasuke's standoffish attitude.

"Thanks again for looking after her." Naruto thanked again.

"As I said, I'm not a babysitter, if you can't keep an eye on it then I suggest you put it on a leash." The Uchiha grumbled, Naruto laughed.

"I'm guessing you don't like kids then." Sasuke rolled his eyes, wasn't it obvious? "Well if we ever meet again I'll definitely buy you that drink. Say goodbye and thank you to Uchiha-San Kiki." Naruto finished, coming to a stop.

"Bye Uchiwa-San, thank you!" Kiki yelled, Sasuke didn't reply, didn't bother correcting her, his mood has certainly worsened. He exited the park and crossed the street to his office building, trying with all his might to erase the good looking blond from his mind. He entered the building and headed straight for the elevators, ignoring the people who greeted him. The elevator dinged, signalling his arrival to the fifth floor, he stepped off, passing by employees who were trying to look busy in front of the boss. Sasuke had been tasked with overseeing the editorial department of his father's advertising company while his older and only brother, Itachi was working in the design department. This was all in preparation for when their father retired and left the company in joint custody of his two sons.

"Inuzuka, I don't pay you to sit around and flirt all day." Sasuke said, passing by a brown haired employee, Inuzuka Kiba who was sat on the edge of a desk flirting with a pretty co-worker.

"Technically you don't pay me, your Dad does." Kiba smiled, believing he'd got the upper hand with the stoic Uchiha.

"True, but when I take over next month do you want to know who's ass I'm firing first?" Sasuke replied, still heading for his office.

"Going straight back to work sir, you bet!" Kiba scrambled, rushing back to his own desk, he still smiled and winked at his co-worker. Sasuke entered his office, the furnishings were simple. Black carpet, one bookshelf, two soft chairs, his desk and his own big leather seat. He liked his office, it separated him from his idiotic employees and he had a nice view of the park. Once he and Itachi took over he would get a new office on the top floor and his only view would be another office building. Sasuke sat at his desk and opened a folder, this would more than likely be a proposal for a new billboard or something equally as boring. It was advertisement for an airline, the usual beach scene, the model with her blond hair and blue eyes reminded him of Naruto. He cursed, not point in pining after someone when they had a child and a wife, happy family. Sasuke didn't understand why jealousy bubbled inside of him, he vaguely wondered what Naruto's wife was like. Mind you, he didn't see a ring adorning the blond's tanned finger. The child could have been born out of wedlock, a divorce perhaps? The worst thing was, every time Sasuke tried to picture the blond's other half his mind would automatically replace it with an image of himself. The Uchiha tried to focus on the workload in front of him, this was going to be a long day.

~1 week later~

Sasuke sat at his usual bench, reading his usual paper and drinking his usual coffee. His week had been exceptionally boring, he, his brother and his father still had a few legal kinks to work out before they took over in a couple of weeks. Sasuke sighed, he didn't have enough down time, he'd like nothing more than to be spending his time in a library drowning in literature. Reading was one of his favourite past times, it gave him peace, quiet and the solitude he needed after a day spent with his employees. It was a rare luxury now a days and it would only get worse once he took over. To be frank, Sasuke never had an interest in his father's company, he'd always seen himself in more of an environmental type of career. His mother had always loved the outdoors and would occasionally allow Sasuke to accompany her on her trips. Sasuke smiled fondly, remembering his mother, she had passed while he was still young, her missed her dearly.

"Well, well, if it isn't Uchiha-San!" He hears a familiar rugged voice say, he looked over his newspaper and the face that had been haunting his mind stared back. Uzumaki Naruto stood dressed in a light blue shirt and black suit pants, far less casual than when they had first met.

"Lost your brat again?" Sasuke asked, his voice laced with sarcasm. "And don't call me Uchiha-San, I don't like it." He added.

"No, actually, she's in daycare while I'm at work/" The blond smiled, the smile that had Sasuke's heart in his throat. "Since I found you here and I don't have 'the brat' as you call her, let me buy you that drink." Naruto offered. Sasuke really should decline, he should get back to work but the way Naruto's blue eyes shone in the sunlight had him whipping his phone out and texting some lame excuse about being sick to his brother.

'You forget that my office also has a view of the park, say hello to your new friend for me.'

He received in reply, he turned to face the building, he could barely make out a figure standing at a window on the seventh floor. He didn't know if it was Itachi or not but decided to flip the bird in that general direction.

'How rude of you brother.'

Sasuke snorted.

"One drink." He proposed, standing from the bench, another half cup of coffee in the trash.

"Fine by me Sasuke!" Naruto smiled, Sasuke's heart stopped with the way Naruto had said his name. "I know a great bar just down the street." Sasuke nodded and the two left the park. The streets were quiet but that didn't mean that Sasuke enjoyed the walk, in fact, he loathed it. It was only two weeks until Valentine's day and every shop window had something heart shaped and love filled on display. Sasuke mentally shrugged, another holiday he'd spend hiding from whatever maniac wanted to confess their undying and superficial love for him.

"Something on your mind Sasuke? You're awfully quiet." Naruto pointed, obviously not knowing Sasuke well enough to know he wasn't a very talkative person in general.

"Just thinking that Valentine's day is a complete and utter waste of time." The Uchiha said, the holiday was something conjured up my the marketing companies to make a profit. The two had reached the bar by this point, Naruto's loud voice signaled their arrival.

"What? You can't be serious! Valentine's day is awesome! There's cards and chocolate and…And…Well there's other stuff too! Come on, you can't tell me that you don't spoil the lucky lady in your life on Valentine's day!" Naruto argued, they pulled up a seat at the bar, the barman looked confused at their topic of conversation but he'd probably heard worse.

"There is no 'lucky lady' even if I did have someone I still wouldn't waste my time. Gin and tonic." Sasuke ordered with a sigh. Would Naruto ever find out that there would never be a 'lucky lady' in Sasuke's life? How would the blond react if he found out he was gay?

"I can honestly say that you are the grumpiest person I have ever met." Naruto deadpanned but a smile came through soon enough. "Well I have my lucky lady and I'm going to spoil her like I always do." The barman sat their glasses down, Naruto paid. "I told you I'd buy you a drink." He said, Sasuke snorted, taking a sip of his gin and tonic.

"I'm not grumpy, I just don't see why people try so hard to say 'I love you' on the fourteenth of February, if you really loved them you'd tell them everyday." Sasuke spoke logically, personally he'd never been in love but that's what his mother had always told him. Naruto seemed to be in thought for a moment.

"I suppose you do have a point. I tell my lady that I love her every chance I get but I guess on Valentine's day I get an excuse to show her too." The blond reasoned, Sasuke's mood darkened, the jealousy was returning, he shouldn't even feel like this, he didn't have the right to.

"Your girlfriend is lucky." He mumbled into his glass, Naruto chuckled.

"No girlfriend, the only little lady in my life is Kiki." He grinned, did that mean that Naruto was single? Not that it mattered, he had to be straight to conceive a child. "It's only gonna be her until I find the right guy." Sasuke nearly choked on his drink, he began coughing. "Haha, why does that always happen when people find out I'm not into women?" Naruto asked, mostly to himself as he patted Sasuke's back, trying to ease his coughing.

"Sorry, I just never pegged you as gay." Sasuke choked, his head was reeling, the object of his lust fueled desires was batting for the same team, if he wasn't an Uchiha he would have grinned.

"Well, I'm not exactly a rainbow gay so people don't tend to notice until I say something like; 'Woah, that guy is really hot'. Naruto explained, Sasuke eyed him strangely.

"…What the fuck is a rainbow gay?" He asked, the blond laughed again.

"You know those gays that try too hard to be gay? The ones who wear booty shorts and thigh high boots. The sort of gays that say fabulous too much and snap their fingers." Naruto emphasized his point by snapping his fingers in a sassy manner. It didn't suit him. "I'm not going to hit on you if it'll make you feel better." The blond finished, Sasuke heart sank a little.

"…I wouldn't particularly mind." He once again mumbled into his glass. It was Naruto's turn to choke, the barman must have thought that two were incapable of drinking properly.

"Your gay?!" He yelled in question, Sasuke glared.

"Yes Mr. Seven O'clock news, now the whole fucking bar knows." The Uchiha growled. Naruto swept his eyes across the room, the only other occupant besides the barman was an old man in the corner who looked ready to pass out. "I'm also not a rainbow gay as you put it so not many people know." Sasuke explained.

"Hm, I would have figured you were a ladies man but now that I know that you're of the homosexual persuasion I'll apologize in advance for any lewd thoughts I have of you." Naruto said, Sasuke held back an amused smirk.

"Dobe." Before the blond had a chance to retort he suddenly held a hand to his stomach. "You okay?" Sasuke asked.

"…I'm really hungry." Naruto whined, both of their glasses were empty, Sasuke stood from his stool, Naruto's eyes followed the movement.

"Come on, I know a place." Sasuke mentioned, Naruto followed with a cheer. The walked further into town until they reached a bookstore.

"Ya' can't eat books Sasuke." The blond pointed out like it wasn't an obvious fact.

"I know that dumbass, they sell food too." Sasuke said, the two entered the building and chose to sit at a table near the back. Books lined the wall and there was a small area where people could read in peace if they weren't having anything to eat. "You have to order at the counter, what do you want?" Sasuke asked, Naruto's blue eyes scanned the small menu.

"They do ramen here?!" Naruto asked, very excited.

"Yeah but it's just the instant stuff." Sasuke explained.

"That's the best kind! I'll definitely have ramen." He grinned, Sasuke didn't understand why the blond was so excited the stuff was vile in his opinion. Sasuke stepped up to the counter and ordered Naruto's ramen, he decided on an omelette and coffee for himself. Sasuke took his coffee back to the table, someone would bring their food over.

"Sasuke, can I ask you something, one gay to another?" Naruto asked carefully, Sasuke raised an eyebrow, silently telling him to continue. "Well…Top or bottom?" The coffee in Sasuke's mouth would have ended up over Naruto's face if he didn't have more control.

"What sort of question is that?!" He whispered in a harsh tone, aware of the other customers. The blond shrugged.

"I thought it was like, custom to ask."

"It's not a custom I've ever heard of or practised. Besides, it's none of your business." Sasuke glared, Naruto's eyes lit up with mischief.

"Tell me."

"No."

"Tell me."

"I said no, Dobe." Sasuke eyed the blond as he took a deep breath.

"Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me." It was like blades going into Sasuke's ears and scratching at his cranium.

"Fine! If I tell you will you shut the hell up?" Sasuke bargained, Naruto nodded, a satisfied smile on his face. "…Bottom." He admitted quietly, making sure only Naruto heard him. Why was he metaphorically spilling the beans to this guy? He barely knew him!

"Really? That's a surprise, I mean I'm glad because I'm all top." Naruto winked.

"It sounds like you're assuming that we're going to have sex." Sasuke commented, nothing would actually make him happier at the moment but it didn't hurt to play hard to get.

"You never know Sasuke, I might just woo you into bed someday." The blond chuckled while stirring his ramen.

"I'd either have to blind or drunk off my ass to jump in the sack with the likes of you." Sasuke lied.

"Ugh, so mean. Now that you mention it, why don't we go out for drinks tonight?" The blond suggested before taking a large and loud slurp of his noodles.

"Why? So you can get me drunk and take advantage of me? No thanks." Sasuke knew the blond was just being nice but it wouldn't do anything good to be around him while drunk, lord knows what he might say.

"I'm being serious! We should hang out!" Naruto protested.

"I'll think about it, later." The two fell into a silence as they ate, apart from Naruto's loud slurping. Sasuke picked at his omelette, he wasn't all that hungry.

"Can you not hold your coffee like that." Naruto suddenly said. Sasuke looked at the tall polystyrene cup, what was wrong with they way he was holding it? He always held it like this. He threw the blond a questioning look. "It's just…It's been a while and every time I look I imagine you holding something else." Naruto blushed, well Sasuke certainly hadn't been expecting that. He felt the blood rush to his own face and immediately let go of the cup.

After Sasuke paid for the food, arguing that Naruto had paid for the drinks, the two left the bookstore. They stood in front of the building in an awkward silence, neither knowing what to say or do next.

"Is it later yet?" Naruto suddenly asked. "You said that you'd think about going out for drink with me, later. So, is it later yet?" Sasuke sighed, Naruto was definitely persistent.

"If I say yes will it shut you up for more than five minutes?"

"I can't make any promises." Naruto answered truthfully. Sasuke sighed once more.

"Fine, don't expect to wake up to me in the morning." Sasuke warned.

"Can't promise that either, meet you here at eight?" The blond proposed, Sasuke nodded. "See ya' then, Sasuke!" Naruto waved as the two went their separate ways. Sasuke walked back to the office to collect his car, it was only four in the afternoon, he'd have time to have a nap, perhaps it would ease his sudden feeling of nervous excitement.

How was that? Nothing juicy in this chapter I'm afraid! I have a good plan in my head for this story and I'm just hoping that my writing style does it justice. Please remember to review, any criticism is appreciated although nothing too nasty! If you have nay ideas don't be afraid to let me know! I'm always up for new challenges!
