Naruto could only stare at it in shock. His brain could process nothing beyond the pink plus symbol on the stick he had placed on the counter exactly two minutes ago. His mind was whirling as he berated himself over how he could have possibly let this happen. He stared in the large sink above the mirror without really seeing anything. Turning to the side, Naruto slowly sunk down the tiled wall of the bathroom.
Naruto's breath became more labored as he clutched his bright blonde hair in a panic. Things like this didn't happen to normal people like him. He had gotten straight A's in high school, had a loving relationship with his adoptive father Iruka, had graduated from a decent university with honors, and had gotten a highly coveted position at the renowned Uchiha Corporation with his best friend, Kiba. He had even just signed the lease on a small new house and was in the process of moving in. He loved his life and everything was looking up. But now, because of one tiny mistake, Naruto's world was crashing down around him. As he was quietly muttering in shock to himself about the unfairness of it all, a knock on the door interrupted him.
"Hey Naruto! You okay? You've been in there for a while. You better not be stinking it up! We all have to share this bathroom!" yelled Kiba as he pounded on the door frightening the people walking past him. Naruto and Kiba had been best friends since they were kids. Both being the resident pranksters, they had decided to team up and had been inseparable since. Kiba was the one who helped him when kids would make fun of him for not having any real family. Granted, Kiba's help was usually a punch to the face of the other kid, but he never-the-less never failed to remind Naruto that he did in fact have family. He had Iruka for a father and him for a brother. They had ended up going to the same university and had applied to Uchiha Corporation together with the hopes of being able to work together as they had also gone to school together.
They had become the resident goofballs of the Consulting floor they worked on. Everyone adored the bright sunspot and the strangely dog-like man. Their pranks on their coworkers kept everyone on their toes and kept the work environment light and happy. They knew when to take their work seriously, and when a higher morale was needed.
Kiba's yelling jolted Naruto out of his musing as he realized that he was still in the private bathroom of their floor at Uchiha Corp. He stood up and brushed himself off while resolving to worry about this later. Plastering a smile onto his face, be opened the door on Kiba who almost hit him in the face as he went to knock again.
"It's about time" exclaimed Kiba, the red triangles he got in college while drunk making him look a bit feral. Naruto supposed he couldn't judge since he had drunkenly gotten fox whiskers tattooed on his face the same night. "The boss went out for lunch so that means we're free to ditch too. Now hurry up and grab your jacket cuz I'm hungry!" Kiba turned and ran to grab his stuff for lunch not noticing that something was off with Naruto who followed albeit slowly.
Naruto looked around at his coworkers all blissfully ignorant of his turmoil as they laughed and joked around with each other since the boss had left. Would it ever be like this again, wondered Naruto? He stepped into his cubicle, adjacent from Kiba's, and slowly gathered his things trying to both process and forget everything that had transpired in the last 20 minutes.
However, immediately everyone on the floor silenced, and Naruto knew that there could only be one source. Naruto peeked his head out of his cube and saw their boss, the infamous Sasuke Uchiha striding down the hall to his office looking rather annoyed.
Their boss, as always, looked impeccable in a dark gray Armani suit with his hair expertly styled back, and his perfect face set in a scowl. No one could deny the beauty that was Sasuke Uchiha. His elder brother, the President of the company, was also regally handsome; but, Sasuke's flawless pale skin contrasted beautifully with his midnight black hair and eyes in a way that his brother's did not.
Many women sighed heavily as he walked past lamenting over the fact that while a pleasure to look at, he was available for the eyes only. Sasuke was betrothed to the fashion designer, and daughter of rich business tycoon, Sakura Haruno. Some people speculated that it was simply a political move for both families, but everyone was very tight-lipped on the subject. They mostly thought this because everyone simply assumed that Sasuke was asexual. He never showed an interest in anyone, and then suddenly he was engaged? Only one person knew, for certain, the truth outside of the Uchiha and Haruno families; and, he was currently hiding in his cubicle from their ebony haired boss, while choosing random moments to peek his cerulean eyes out and watch the Uchiha.
Naruto, as well as his coworkers, had immediately returned to their cubes and tried to look as if they were working. The phone in Naruto's cubicle rang causing his to jump in the air as he spooked out of his peeping. He answered it, knowing from caller ID that it was Kiba, and when he picked up, the man on the other line immediately began, "and if you look at the sales number from last month you'll see that there has been a drastic increase in your company's profit which is due to the…" He trailed off as Sasuke entered his office by their cubes and quickly exited holding his briefcase which Naruto had assumed he left. Kiba kept rambling in his ear but Naruto paid him no mind as he watched the retreating back of their boss, VP of Uchiha Corporation, younger brother to the President, head of the Consulting floor, fiancé of fashion designer Sakura Haruno, all around bastard, and now apparently…the father of Naruto's child.
