Well after re-reading the last chapter I realized that Sasuke never got dressed after Naruto woke him up which means he was parading around town naked. So we can all just pretend that he got dressed while nobody was looking. Anyways this is the long awaited epilogue I've been working on 20 Candles on a Cake so I haven't really had time to work on this, sorry I took so long.
Enjoy!
XXXXXXXXXXX
A few minutes after leaving the hospital Naruto and Sasuke stumbled into a messy apartment.
"Naru'! St-stop…we're only here to clean and pack…hmmm" Sasuke moaned through his sentence as Naruto sucked on his earlobe before moving down to his mouth and ravishing it. Giggling slightly Naruto let go of the struggling boy and walked further into the small apartment. Sasuke sighed and straightened himself out before following, at the same time he started picking up trash throwing it in the garbage and folding clothes.
"But I don't want to clean…I want you…" Naruto turned to face his boyfriend and smiled at him, he pulled him into an embrace and kissed him, he brought one hand up to card through black hair and the other stayed on his pale waist pulling him closer and closer. "Now…"
"We can't…what if someone…comes over…or something…" Sasuke spoke in between Naruto kissing him. He could feel his resolve slowly dissolving under the ministrations of warm hands and a talented mouth.
"So what…I'm pretty sure the nurses…were listening through the door at the hospital." Naruto pushed Sasuke against the wall and brought a hand under Sasuke white shirt. He lowered his head to suck the soft skin behind Sasukes ear, he let go with a small pop and toyed with the earlobe before bringing it in between his teeth to bite slightly. Sasuke gasped and leant his head the opposite way to allow Naruto more room. "Plus…I want them to know…"
"Hmmmnnn, ahh…Naru'" Sasuke swiftly moved a hand to blond locks and guided Narutos mouth back to his own. To aroused to worry about his previous claim to care who topped, Sasuke allowed Naruto to dominate the kiss. He felt a tongue swipe at the seam of his lips and immediately parted them while tilting his head slightly to make the kiss more comfortable and passionate. Naruto ran the tip of his tongue along the middle of the roof of Sasukes mouth before tracing every tooth then traveling to tickle the underside of the ravens tongue, and finally resting to play with it. Naruto pulled away panting and licked away the string of saliva connecting their wet muscles, wasting no time he lifted off Sasukes shirt and threw it across the room before doing the same with his own jacket and shirt. Both still panting Naruto went forward again and attack the still parted mouth of his lover. His hands traveled from Sasukes collarbone, tracing it down to his chest stopping to circle and tease pert nipples a little, barely dancing across a taut stomach; warm hands left the dark happy trail and went to an arched back tracing the contour of his spine his hands eventually met with the offending waistline of Sasukes pants. He slid the tips of his fingers under them and applied a little pressure, pushing his hands into the back of the pants fully he gripped the two globes tightly, eliciting a loud mewl from the raven.
"Haaa-haa…Naruto!! MORE!" Sasuke panted and half screamed to his lover after roughly breaking away from the kiss when his ass had been squeezed, sending shockwaves of pleasure through him.
"So, impatient…" Naruto removed his hands and undid both their pants and pulled them off, along with their boxers. His hands went back to Sasukes backside and he gripped it once again before lifting him off the floor and high enough to wrap pale legs around his own tan waist. Sasuke moaned lowly when he felt the tip of Narutos penis brush his sensitive hole. He was presented with 3 fingers and, without hesitation or explanation, took them into his mouth and began coating them with his saliva. Naruto watched as his fingers slid in and out of Sasukes mouth, his tongue wrapping around them before sliding in between each of them. He pulled his fingers out somewhat reluctantly but knew if he didn't he would probably end up coming without having done anything with his lover. He brought them down to Sasukes entrance and quickly pushed one in, right away he felt the hand in his hair tighten almost painfully and another hand grip his upper arm tightly. He pushed another finger in and quickly scissoring them before adding the last, by now Sasuke was panting loudly and moaning every time Narutos fingers moved.
He removed his fingers and lathered his length slightly with his own spit before guiding it with a hand to Sasukes entrance. He muffled a groan into the ravens' mouth as he kissed him while pushing past the tight ring of muscle. "Guhhnn…Sasuke…fuck you're tight"
"Naru' please…please…" Sasuke whined, while tightening his legs, trying to push Narutos cock inside himself. Giving up when he realized nothing was happening he looked up at the blond and noticed a small smirk.
"What do you want? Tell me…'Suke" Naruto brought his lips down to Sasukes ear and lightly bit the curved cartilage then rolling it slightly between his teeth. "Hurry up…unless" he moved his hips back slightly as if to pull out, but was stopped when Sasukes legs tightened even more around his waist.
"I want you…to fuck me." Sasuke raked his fingernails down Narutos chest. ".Now!"
"Heh…" Without waiting for any further words Naruto slammed into Sasuke hot tight passage, groaning out in pleasure while Sasuke screamed at the sudden outburst of pain, pleasure and everything in between. Pausing he took a few steadying breaths and placed light kisses from Sasukes open mouth to his temple.
"Move..." Sasuke rolled his hips slightly and wrapped an arm around a tan neck pulling him down for a passionate kiss. Slowly at first Naruto rocked his hips back, pulling out until his tip remained, then just as slow he would push back in causing Sasuke to pause in the kiss and shudder as the pleasure slowly filled him. He pushed their bodies harder against the wall and placed both his hands on the ravens' waist, tilting his hips to align better with his own thrusts. Gradually he sped up and kept one hand at a pale waist while the other collected equally pale wrists and brought them above, pressing them to the wall, restricting movements. Naruto lowered his head and sucked a large hickey onto Sasukes lithe neck, he then licked and nibbled his way around the ravens collarbone then down to his nipples sliding his tongue over them, kissing and biting them. "Aaahhh, Naru-too! I-I can't hold…on"
"Uh-guhh…Sasuke…" Naruto panted quietly into Sasukes neck before he came, pausing only for a moment before picking up with thrusts that were faster than before. Not much longer, Sasuke came onto their chests and stomachs, yelling out Narutos name as the feeling of complete satisfaction swept over him. Naruto collected himself slightly before staggering to the bed still holding Sasuke, and collapsed onto it. Still not having pulled out he threw a black blanket over them. "I love you 'Suke…"
"I love you Naru'" Sasuke giggled lightly before wincing when he removed, reluctantly, Narutos penis from him. They both drifted off into a light slumber.
--[2 years later]--
"OI! Naruto, where are you?" Sasuke yelled to the house. He went to the home office that Naruto had claimed, as his study room, once he had moved in. He walked in and saw the blond sitting in the chair, behind the desk, slouching, his chin resting on his chest. Obviously he was sleeping. Sasuke silently made his way to the sleeping boy. Standing behind the chair he lifted Narutos chin and rested the blond head against his lower stomach. Slowly he leaned forward and let his fingers roam the relaxed muscles below them. He slipped his hands under the loose blue shirt that had been issued to both of them once they became Jounin. Once his cold fingers touched the warm tan skin immediately goose bumps formed and the blond squirmed slightly. Sasuke pressed his palms against Narutos chest and pushed his hands down the now slightly taut muscles. He leaned his head down to whisper into the blonds' ear. "Naruto…wake up, Tsunade wants you for something…rather important…"
"Hmmm…what is it?" Narutos body twitched when he finally came to and realized that Sasukes hands were quietly massaging his torso. "It can't be so important that I have to get up now…"
"Yes it is that important…plus you spent all night in here, I'm punishing you for not coming to bed last night" Sasuke stopping his massaging and stood up straight; earning him a disappointed groan from Naruto.
"How are you punishing me? If you were just massaging me I find that a bit far from punishment." Naruto stood as well, stretching his back and cracking his bones into working again.
"Like this" Sasuke took a step closer to the blond, pressing him against the desk, and kissed him chastely at first and then passionately. He pulled back and moved his mouth to a tan neck and sucked a large hickey into the skin.
"Ahh, Sasu'ke please…stop" Naruto pushed with his hands against Sasukes ribs. When he finally got the raven off of his own body he held him it arms length. "Now what does the old lady want with me?"
"I don't know…she didn't say just that you had to go see her. I suspect its some important mission or whatever." Sasukes eyes glazed over in a slight lust and he danced his fingertips over Narutos arms that were holding him back. He tickled the inside of Narutos elbow causing it to bend and give him the opportunity to move forward again. "Maybe not…either way you're not going just yet…"
"But, what if something really is happening I have to go…" Narutos sentence was cut short as Sasuke abruptly shoved a hand down his pants and cold fingers touched his heated skin. "No…Sasu' not now…you know…what will happen later, if you…do this"
"Oh of course I know…" Sasuke whispered seductively into Narutos ear while at the same time wrapping his fingers around the blonds now semi hard member. "That's the point, after of course making you go to Tsunade"
"Haaa…please, more…" Narutos head dropped onto the ravens shoulder. His breaths came in shorter pants as Sasuke tightened his hand slightly, when his hand loosened too much for the blonds liking he bucked his hips slightly.
"Sorry…looks like you have to go see Tsunade now." Sasuke removed his hand and left the room. "Hurry, she seemed pretty eager…"
"AGH! Sasuke!" Naruto followed after the raven in haste, only to find him not in the hallway or anywhere in the house, even the entire Uchiha compound was empty of Sasuke. "Damn him…"
Naruto quickly thought of Gai-sensei and Lee wearing frilly pink bikinis…without having shaved. He found himself to be relieved of his previous problem, and made his way to the Hokage tower.
"BAA-CHAN!! What do you want?! I was busy!" Naruto flung open the door to Tsunades office and walked up to the desk and chair that had its back turned to him. When he didn't hear any reply he sighed and figured she had fallen asleep, he walked around to the chair and found it empty. "Weird…the only other place she could be is…THE ROOF!" quickly Naruto transported himself to the top of the building and indeed found the Hokage leaning against the railing facing the mountain, her back to the rest of the village. "Tsunade! What is it?!"
"Huh? Oh Naruto! Quickly, come here!" Tsunade turned around and hurriedly walked to the other side of the roof, facing the village. Naruto quietly followed. When he reached her side the first thing he noticed was the large crowd of people that had collected at the foot of the building.
'I don't know how I could've missed that many people…but then again…' Naruto thought to himself while eyeing everyone in the crowd, looking for a specific person. His eyes scanned over to the darker colored section of people; that consisted mostly of the ninjas of the village, and he found Sasuke leaning leisurely against a wall and kicking at a pebble on the ground. He narrowed his eyes at the dark haired man. 'He knew the whole time what was happening…'
"Oi, Tsunade-Baa…what's going on?" Naruto leaned over to the woman and whispered into her ear, not taking his eyes of the crowd.
"Well kid! Looks like your dream is coming true today!" Tsunade anything but whispered back to him and the rest of the village.
"Ano…Sasuke and I are already dating, did you miss that?" Naruto scratched his temple and crossed one arm across his chest. "You might be losing your mind. I think it's time you found a suitor"
"Yes I know, and I already have found my suitor! YOU!"
"WHAT!?" Narutos eyes widened dramatically before he heard the crowd below him erupt into sudden cheers and applause, he looked down to find Sasuke but couldn't see him or any of his friends. "Tsunade…I-I…I don't know what to say…"
"Just accept, and be happy. After all you have wanted this, your entire life right?" Tsunade elbowed him playfully in the ribs before saying something quickly to the villagers.
"Be…happy, sure…" Naruto felt tears brim his eyes and tried to stop them without bring his sleeve to his face. When Tsunade turned to face him again he suddenly couldn't hold them back and tears started rolling down his face; he pulled her in for a hug and didn't let go until he heard her whisper something to him. "What…did you say?"
"You might want to save the hugs for later; right now can we finish this?" Naruto quickly let go of her with an 'Oh sure' and composed himself. He watched as she turned around to face the new crowd of ninjas all standing behind them on the roof and accepted a wooden box from Kakashi. When he got a clear view of the box he could see that it was engraved with the name 'Namikaze Minato, Yondaime'. When he first caught sight of the golden symbols he swore his heart had stopped and he had paled considerably.
"Wha-what is this? Baa-Chan, what are you…doing?" Naruto almost couldn't believe his eyes when Tsunade placed the box on a table and opened it to reveal the Fourths cloak, the only difference was that the 4 symbol had been changed to the 6 symbol. He took a step back to steady himself and his arms seemed like they couldn't move from his sides.
"Your father wanted you to have this…" She spoke in a lower voice than usual as she handed him the cloak. He felt his throat clench and his eyes became blurry as he began to cry all over again. Gingerly he took the fabric and put it on, allowing Tsunade to clasp the front and make sure he looked presentable. "We should've told you sooner…but we were afraid you would be mad at him for…"
"The fox? No…I'm anything but mad at him for it." Naruto hugged her once more this time only for a moment before turning to the rest of the people on the roof, he looked for Sasuke and upon finding him he quickly motioned him over. "Plus I'm a bit glad that you didn't tell me sooner…"
"Because of Sasuke?" Tsunade whispered while watching the raven slowly make his way over, along with Sakura and Kakashi.
"Yea…I probably would have been all weird and stuff…but now I don't have to break the news to anybody, they all know now." Naruto ended his sentence as the rest of his old team approached. Quickly he hugged Sakura and Kakashi, before he pulled Sasuke into his chest and buried his nose into the soft hair. "I hate you for earlier…but I couldn't love you more at a time like this…"
"Hmm…" Sasuke hummed into Narutos chest and tightened his grip on the taller mans clothes. He felt the arms tighten around him and tiny drops of tears tickled his scalp. "I love you too…but don't ever. Leave me alone. At night. Again."
"I won't…trust me" Naruto squeezed his arms one more time before letting go slightly but not letting Sasuke escape. "Tsunade…what now?"
"Well now, you party, and then you go home sleep, then come here and begin your first day as Hokage…" She smiled to him and the raven that was now blushing with so much affection in public in front of everyone in Konoha.
--
"Naru' where are you!" Sasuke stumbled through the gates of the Uchiha compound followed by the man he was currently looking for.
"Right here Sasuke…" Naruto put one of the ravens' arms around his neck and one of his own arms around the boys' waist to support him. "Jeez, you're lucky I can't get drunk."
"OH! There you are my wittle hunny bun!" Sasuke pinched Narutos cheek before breaking out into another fit of giggling and writhing around. At the party Sasuke had a few too many drinks and caused Naruto to leave early with him in tow. "I've missed you…"
"Really? Even though I've been with you this whole time?" Naruto continued walking toward their house.
"You have not! Just now you were gone for at least an hour!" Sasukes free arm flailed about while he spoke.
"No, it was one second and I was closing the gates." The blond stopped at their front door and slid it open with his toe; he walked in and placed Sasuke on the steps that led into the rest of the house. Carefully and quickly he rid them both of their shoes and carried Sasuke to their personal backyard bathhouse. When he opened the door he was welcomed with a room full of steam humid air, and the sound of the 'Yamato-made' waterfall.
"What are we doing here? Are we taking a bath? I like baths…" Sasuke drawled on about baths and water, while Naruto busied himself with striping himself and the raven.
"Yes we are taking a bath…it should make you feel better." Naruto picked up Sasuke and walked into the hot spring, he waded in the waist deep water towards the submerged bench on the other side. He sat down and picked up a bucket from beside the rocks; filling it with water he dumped it over his own head, he did the same to the now quieter Sasuke. "See...do you feel better?"
"Hmmm…yea…" Sasuke closed his eyes and snuggled into Narutos bare chest. "I'm tired…Naru' can we please sleep?" Sasuke looked up his eyes wide yet tired, glistening with left over drunkenness.
"Sure…let's finish up here first though alright?" Naruto rubbed the back of a finger over Sasukes cheek, trying to remember the childish nature that really was Sasuke. The raven nodded sleepily as his head moved closer to the finger on his cheek, seeking attention. The blond quickly soaped their bodies and hair, rinsing off in the water fall. He waded back to the steps and got out, grabbing two fluffy black towels. He set Sasuke down on another bench and wrapped one towel around his own waist after drying off his body and hair. He laid the second one over top of the ravens head and rubbed it back and forth side to side mussing up his hair. He dropped it down to pale shoulders and quickly dried the rest of him off. He got up and went to a closet that they always kept a spare set of pajamas in. pulling out two sets of boxers and one large white shirt he walked back to Sasuke and dressed him in the shirt and boxers. After putting his own boxers on he gathered the boy into his arms and left to go to their bedroom.
"Are we sleeping now?" Sasuke played with a lock of blond hair as he was carried into their room.
"Yes we are…" Naruto set the pale boy down on the bed and watched in mild awe as he curled into a ball with his knees by his chest, pulling the covers up to his chin and tightly wrapped around him. He sat on the edge of the bed and dropped his head into his hands sighing. That day had been so hectic for him that he hadn't had time to think. What was he going to do tomorrow when he began his duties as Hokage. He had just been entrusted with the entire village and countless lives, he wasn't sure if he could do it. He stood from the bed and with one look at the sleeping Sasuke he walked out to their balcony; he climbed the steps on the side to the roof and sat on the pointed tip with help from chakra in his feet. He looked up at the full moon that was illuminating the village. Suddenly he got up and went back quickly to the bedroom, where Sasuke was fast asleep, and got dressed in his Jounin shirt and pants; he hesitated before leaving the room and looked at the cloak hanging to his left. He took it off the hanger and slipped it on, liking the feeling it gave him. He left the room after placing a quick kiss to the ravens' temple.
--
Naruto leaned on the railing of the roof of his new office, looking up at the past five Hokage's.
"Hashirama and Tobirama Senju…Sarutobi-Jii-Chan…Dad…Tsunade-Baa-Chan…how did you do it?" Naruto sighed and walked to the other side of the roof; he looked over the peaceful village scanning it just in case. He looked down at the entrance to the tower and saw two ANBU who had taken their masks off and were talking casually. He was sure they had sensed him when he arrived. Smiling he closed his eyes and chuckled lightly. "What do you want Tsunade?"
"Hmmm, seems you're better than you let on." Tsunade came up to stand next to him, leaning her back against the railing, with her arms crossed.
"Isn't that the point? It helps when trying to defeat the enemy too…" Opening his eyes again he looked to the woman beside him. "I don't know how I'm going to do this…"
"Do what?"
"This!" He threw his arms out wide to emphasize his point about the village. "Protect everyone who lives inside the walls, give out missions to the right people, set up meetings, and make allies, everything! I'm just so…so confused…how'd you do it?"
"I'm not quite sure myself, but I know I sure had a lot of help from you, Sasuke, Sakura, hell even Jiraiya helped…everyone in this village helped out with my job. It was still hard but someone is always there to back you up. I know you will do great…just like Minato, your just like him you know?" She turned around and leaned on her elbows. Naruto turned around when he felt another presence and was surprised to see Sasuke. "Well kid looks like my times up, I'll drop by later and visit you while you are good and busy."
"Yea…bye…" Naruto watched the puff of smoke for a second before turning his attention to the sleepy boy who was still wearing his pj's and rubbing his eyes. He walked towards his and bent his head down to look at the ravens face. "Sasuke…What are you doing here? You should be sleeping."
"I missed you…and you said that you wouldn't…leave me alone at night anymore…" Sasuke looked up at blue eyes, his own with tears in them. It was obvious that the effects of alcohol had yet to wear off. "I was scared that something bad happened…I was cold so I woke up, but you…you weren't there"
"You're right, I'm sorry Sasu' I shouldn't of left." Naruto pulled Sasuke into a tight hug and kissed the top of his head lovingly. He could feel wetness soak through to his skin. He pulled away and looked at him, with tears running down his face and a too big shirt he seemed to have shrunk and instead of being 18, was now 6. "I was scared too…I was scared of tomorrow. I'm sorry…I love you"
"It's ok…I love you too Naru'" Sasuke stopped crying and hugged Naruto again, allowing himself to be picked up; he wrapped his legs around Narutos waist and nuzzled his face into the blonds neck. "Can we go home now? I want to go back to sleep."
"Alright, come on." With one last look at the village Naruto and Sasuke disappeared in a whirl of wind and leaves. Reappearing in their bedroom Sasuke got down from the blonds hold and went to the bed. Naruto watched while undressing. Once he was in nothing but his boxers he went to the bed and got under the covers; immediately he felt Sasuke attach himself to his body. Intertwining their legs and wrapping his arms around the smaller frame, Naruto pulled Sasuke closer to him; he kept their faces near each other so he could just watch the other boy. Sasuke had fallen asleep and Naruto followed soon after, whispering, "I love you…"
--
"Konohamaru! Get in here!" Naruto yelled from his office. The first time he yelled while in the room he was surprised at how loud it was; it seemed when one became Hokage their voice was tripled to suit their yelling needs.
"Hai, Naruto Nii-Chan" A short Chunin with spiky brown hair walked into his office, almost tripping on his long scarf.
"Gather Shikamaru, Neji, and Shino and tell them to be here in half an hour for mission assignment." Naruto didn't look up from signing paperwork, and going through mission reviews, while he spoke. "Then I want you, Moegi, and Udon to come back here for your own mission 10 minutes after that. You are dismissed."
"Hai!" Konohamaru quickly made his way out of the office. Once the door closed Naruto put everything down and leant back in his chair, turning it towards the window. He sighed and watched as the boy who had previously been in his office run out of the building. His eyes followed him until he disappeared around a corner.
"Come in…" Naruto spoke to the person who had yet to knock on the door. When the door opened he looked in the window reflection and saw that it was Iruka. "Hey…"
"Hi Naruto…how are you? I brought you some lunch." Iruka placed a fabric wrapped bento box onto the desk and walked behind it to the chair. He looked out the window not speaking until Naruto did.
"Thanks…and…I'm stressed." Naruto admitted, dropping his head into a hand. He sighed and rubbed his temple. "It's non-stop work, I barely have time to sleep anymore…the past two nights I haven't gone home, there's just too much work to do for the Chunin exams, it doesn't help that they aren't even in Konoha this time."
"I know how you feel…I've been staying at the academy until all hours of the night grading tests." Iruka laughed lightly. "You're going to be fine…just get as much done of this as you can and then go home once you become exhausted. The rest of the night should carry on…then next thing you know you're back to yourself again."
"Alright…thanks again for the lunch…" Naruto yawned and stood, stretching his legs and back.
"No problem…I'll see you later Naruto" Iruka ruffled blond hair and left the office. Not too long after he could be seen walking back towards the academy. Naruto turned to his desk and looked at the bento. Deciding he would eat it later he went out onto the balcony and allowed the breeze to tickle his cheeks and run through his hair. He stayed outside until he felt 3 new presences in his office; he turned and went back inside to greet the 3 ninja.
"You called for us Hokage-Sama?" Neji spoke first; he bowed slightly when Naruto entered the room again. Shikamaru and Shino stayed silent looking bored.
"Yes, I need you three to travel to Suna, meet with Gaara first he will give more details. From here all I can tell you is that you will be helping out with the up and coming Chunin exams, Shino as you travel please leave insects every few miles, we need to take every precaution. There cannot be another incident like before…" Naruto spoke seriously with hard eyes, looking to each of the people before him, scrutinizing them. "Neji, Shikamaru. When you get there save the personal stuff for night and after your mission ends. I am allowing you two extra days and one extra night there after you do finish the primary mission."
"Understood." Neji spoke again, his eyes flashed briefly with emotion at the mention of personal time.
"You are to leave tomorrow at 8 am. You are dismissed." Naruto watched the men leave before slumping into his chair, back to rubbing his temples. The mission briefing must have taken longer than expected because right after his friends left an ANBU came in and told him that 3 Chunin were outside waiting. The blond sighed loudly before waving his hand for them to come in. Once they did he shuffled around in a stack of papers and pulled out a mission request. "Alright, since you three are now Chunin and you were previously a team, I trust that you can handle a mission without a Jounin to accompany you. Am I right?"
"HAI!" All three answered at the same time.
"Ok, it isn't anything big for now, but I need you three to help out at the academy, cleaning up, teaching kids how to throw shuriken and kunai, those soft of things. You start tomorrow, it will be a weeklong mission, you are dismissed." Naruto turned his chair to face the window; he heard the door open feet shuffling and it closing again. There was still somebody in the room, the blond peeked around the edge of the chair and saw Konohamaru with his head turned down and his fists tightened. "Konohamaru…is everything alright?"
"No…I want to know…to know why, why have you changed so much…you've become so heartless and cold…I miss my older brother!" At his last few words his head shot up and Naruto could see tears rolling down his face. At first he wasn't sure what to do, he knew the boy looked up to him as a brother figure but he had never heard him actually say it meaningfully. He stood from his chair and walked around to the crying boy. He knelt down and looked up into brown eyes.
"Hey…I'm still the same Naruto, but being Hokage is such a big responsibility…that damn old lady left me with all her unfinished paperwork and let me tell you, she was right to do that. It is boring as hell!" Naruto smiled and wiped away the tears; he stood and grabbed one of his hands. "Come on, I want to show you something."
"What is it?" Konohamaru followed while wiping his face with the end of his scarf. They went outside and he looked up at the blond, hair blowing along with his cloak, and smiled.
"Look at that, the entire village…so peaceful and happy…and yet it's hard to believe how much is going on at the same time." Naruto smiled and tightened his grip on the others hand. "It is my duty to protect and support this entire village, to keep peace with every other village. It's your dream too isn't it? To do all this? Well I'm just trying to make it easier for you, I will always be the same, if you ever need anything just come find me whenever."
"Thanks…Jii-Chan!" Konohamaru smiled and his eyes gleamed as he used the new nickname. He waved as he ran off the balcony and out the office. "See ya!"
"Wha-!" Naruto stood for a moment before smirking evilly and picking up a few small rocks. He quickly charged them each with a small amount of wind chakra and when the brunette Chunin left the building he threw them at the boy and watched in amusement as he jumped nearly a mile in the air from surprise before turning to mile up at Naruto. He smiled back down and threw another rock, this one slightly bigger. He yelled while pitching it down the side of the building. "I'm only 18, brat!"
"You're still old!" Konohamaru yelled back before squealing in fear and running away. Naruto chuckled before going back to his desk. When he sat down he picked up the bento left earlier by Iruka and opened it, welcoming the aroma of freshly made sushi and various other foods. He ate slowly while doing the rest of the paperwork.
--
"Hokage-Sama…" There was a knock on the door by one of the guards. The door opened enough for the side of a face to pop through and be known as he spoke. "There is a visitor here to see you…will you see him now or later?"
"Now is fine, let him in." Without looking up Naruto spoke slowly with a low voice, he still had at least another entire pile of paperwork to go through and he wanted to get it done so he wouldn't have to do it the next day. The door closed and he heard murmurs of talking before the door opened and closed again, this time somebody had come into the room. Naruto didn't want to be rude but he had been serious when he said he wanted to finish the work. "Hello, I'm terribly sorry, I don't want to be rude but I do need to finish this work. Please feel free to talk I will listen and answer questions."
The visitor didn't say anything back, not that it bothered Naruto. There was some shuffling and out of the corner of his eye and through his hair he saw dark blue pants and the tops of white bandages on legs as they walked behind him. It wasn't an intruder or enemy he knew that much for sure, the only thing that troubled him was who it specifically was; the person had masked their chakra just for the purpose of throwing him off. His hand stopped writing and bright blue eyes were now flitting across the room for some type of reflection or signal of who it might be. When he couldn't find one he mentally noted to get a mirror for the opposite wall. When he opened his mouth to speak he was surprised that he wasn't the one talking.
"Hokage…Sama…you work so hard…" The voice was low and husky and with the last word hands began to make their way down his bent over back. "Won't you take a break…and come with me?"
"Sasu'? What are you…doing here?" Naruto recognized the husky voice and hard but soft hands. He swirled his chair around to face Sasuke and wasn't fully prepared for what he came across. The ravens' eyes were bloodshot and teary, his face seemed to sag without its usual either smirk or occasional smile, his hands were shaking just slightly and he seemed like he would crumple if touched. "Oh…What happened? Are you alright?"
"I…I miss you…Why aren't you coming home anymore?" Sasuke looked pleadingly into his eyes and tears began to drop and soak into Narutos Black pants. Not having the energy to wipe away his tears he tried desperately to compose himself without the use of hands. He was slightly surprised when a hand that wasn't his own came up to wipe them away instead, as if reading his mind; he found he was leaning into the touch wanting more. "Do you…not want me anymore? Did I do something w-wrong? Please tell me…"
"No no no…You didn't do anything wrong Sasu'…I just have a lot of work to do." Narutos heart broke silently with the words that were leaving his boyfriends mouth. As if in slow motion he leaned up and wrapped his arms around Sasuke, bringing him down to sit in his lap. The blond carefully made work of taking off the ravens' sandals and tucking his feet up onto his leg. Sasuke was now curled up with his head resting on Narutos collarbone with his hands wrapped around a tan neck, and his legs bent up to his chest. He began to cry a bit harder at the feeling of being held again and tightened his grip on the blond. "Shhh…don't cry Sasuke…its ok, I'm sorry I didn't come home…I wanted to finish all this so I could come home earlier and spend more time with you…"
"R-really? I was scared you would leave me for someone else…" Sasuke sniffed and looked up into bright blue as he spoke.
"No, I would never leave you...you are mine and I am yours" Naruto smiled and squeezed his arms around Sasuke. "Forever."
"I love you Naru'"
"I love you too Sasu'…Now sleep while I finish these then we can go home" Narutos heart mended itself as a small genuine smile reached Sasukes lips and eyes. He would always go home no matter what, even if it meant leaving a clone in his place. Sasuke dozed off silently and Naruto finished his work in peace, not allowing anymore visitors or missions to be given out. He could already tell tonight would be one of those nights where Sasuke showed his true childish self.
And he couldn't wait.
