Chapter Two.
The walk to Naruto's was tense and uncomfortable. The two dark haired boys glared at each other the entire time while the small blonde attempted to make conversation from within his boyfriends hold. Upon reaching their destination Naruto stepped forward and unlocked the door before pushing it open for the others to enter.
"Nice place. It's homely," Sai commented as he looked around the entry way.
"Thank you," Naruto replied, "I'll get us some drinks and snacks from the kitchen. I'll meet you in the living room ok?"
"Sure!" Sai exclaimed smiling.
"Hn," Sasuke just grunted, scowling at the smiling idiot(Sai).
"Behave please? I just want to get this project done and over with. The sooner the better so please cooperate?" Naruto pleaded, hugging his boyfriend.
"I'll behave," Sasuke replied as Naruto smiled up at him, "As long as he does."
Naruto gave Sasuke a quick peck before darting off to the kitchen. Sasuke glared once more at Sai as the boy stared at Naruto's ass before Sasuke pulled him into the living room. Sai sat himself down on the couch while Sasuke made himself comfortable on the chair. Naruto reappeared moments later.
"I've got orange juice and cookies," The blonde announced placing them on the coffee table stepping back to find a seat.
"Sounds delicious," Sasuke said, pulling Naruto down into his lap and wrapping his arms securely around the smaller boy's waist, nuzzling into Naruto's soft hair.
"Well then," Sai cut in "I've got some ideas for our routine. How about we get started?"
"Alright," Naruto replied.
"Naruto, we're home," Iruka's voice came from the front door, drawing all three boy's attention, "Where are you?"
"In the living room," Naruto called back.
Things had been difficult and Naruto was very happy now that his mother and father are home. Sai had continually tried to touch him inappropriately, while Sasuke had to be stopped from throttling the other male several times.
"Sorry we're late. Are the other's home yet?" Iruka asks, heading towards the living room.
"Not yet. Dee's going out with Sasori for supper but Kyu will probably be home soon though," Naruto replied.
"Well, I'll start on supper then," Iruka cut off as he saw the occupants of the living room "What are you doing here!"
"Hello sensi!" Sai said smiling.
"We have a gym project we had to work on after school," Naruto explained.
"Well then, I think it's time Sai goes home. It is getting late." Iruka suggests.
"Of course. Good evening sensi." Sai replied, gathering his bookbag and going to put on his shoes "Until tomorrow, Naruto."
"Goodbye Sai," Naruto said, holding the door for the other boy.
Sai suddenly snached up the small hand holding the door open and pressed a kiss to the back of it before taking off down the street. Naruto was momentarily stunned while Sasuke was just plain pissed off.
"Hmm? Who was that Naruto?" Kakashi asked from the corner, frowning slightly at what he had just seen.
"He's my gym partner, Dad. A perverted asshole, rude, and impolite to boot," Naruto replied.
"Really? Well your mom needs your help in the kitchen." Kakashi say's, disappearing behind his book again.
"Of course, you two are hopeless in the kitchen." Naruto laughs as he dashes into the kitchen before either of the men could react.
Kakashi stopped Sasuke as the younger went to follow Naruto and led him over to the couch in the living room. As they each seated themselves and got comfortable Kakashi set his book aside and looked at Sasuke seriously.
"Was that Sai?" Kakashi asked, straight to the point.
"Yes," Sasuke replied.
"So, he's the one that's been harassing Naruto. I thought so with the way those two were acting." Kakashi paused for a moment before he continued, "How bad is he?"
"Hn," Sasuke grunted looking beyond annoyed.
"I see. I know I don't have to say this but I'm going to anyway. Look after Naruto, don't let that boy anywhere near him. I get a funny feeling from him." Kakashi said looking Sasuke straight in the eye dead serious.
"Of course," Sasuke replied, just as serious.
With that both men settled back to await the two in the kitchen and for the arrival of their final members. They didn't have to wait long, a short time later they heard the door opening and two sets of feet coming in.
"Welcome home Kyubii! Hi Itachi! Supper's almost ready." Naruto called from the kitchen.
"Hello boy's" Iruka greeted.
"Good evening Naruto, Mrs Hatake." Itachi replied, helping Kyubii with his coat.
"Hi mom, hey shrimp!" Kyu called back as he and Itachi went to join Kakashi and Sasuke in the living room.
Supper was normal, with talk of everyone's day and light banter being tossed around. After supper everyone said their goodnights and the two Uchiha's left for their own home.
The rest of the week became progressively more frustrating. Sai was becoming more and more antagonistic towards Sasuke. Sai was taking every chance he could to provoke the Uchiha, trying to get him in trouble. At the same time he continued to flirt with Naruto and try to 'make nice' with their other classmates and friends.
Sasuke was just managing to keep his cool. Only on Naruto's insistence had he not ripped Sai's throat out. Sasuke and Naruto were now rarely seen without each other at school. They were together almost constantly before but now it was even more noticeable. Sasuke walked Naruto to each of his classes, even picked him up and dropped him off to the classes they did not share. By the time Friday rolled around Sasuke and Naruto were ecstatic for some time away from Sai.
"I don't want to work. I just want to bang on the drums all day!"
Their small group of friends were in high spirits as they left school that afternoon. The conversation centered around the upcoming party that evening. Sasuke was piggybacking Naruto, thoroughly enjoying having the small blonde pressed so closely against his back.
"So, we have only two hours before the party starts. Does everyone know what they're wearing?" Sakura askes from her place next to Ino.
