"Sasuke." Naruto said gently as he stood outside of Sasuke's cell. Sasuke looked up and glared at him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Sasuke snapped.

"I came to see you." Naruto said.

"Here I am." Sasuke said motioning at himself. Naruto nodded and leaned on the grate in front of Sasuke's cell.

"I'm sorry." Naruto said.

"For what?" Sasuke asked.

"Everything. I never meant for any of this to happen." Naruto said.

"Well, it did happen. You can't change anything by saying stupid things." Sasuke huffed. Naruto frowned.

"I thought you were dead." Naruto said after a few moments of silence.

"Weren't you originally planning to kill me anyway?" Sasuke asked looking at him. Naruto bit his lip and looked off to the side. "Would you have let me die? That morning, I mean. If I hadn't run into you, would you have let me die?" Naruto eyes filled with tears.

"I would have died with you." Naruto said. Sasuke blinked. "I thought about it and had resigned myself to staying in the city when it was destroyed. But then I saw you and couldn't let you die." Naruto said as tears rolled down his cheeks. "I love you, Sasuke. I don't care if you don't believe me, but I love you with my whole heart."

"Then why did you lie to me?" Sasuke asked.

"What was I going to say?" Naruto asked back. Sasuke looked away. "I didn't kill your brother, so please stop hating me for that." Naruto said.

"Then who killed him?" Sasuke asked.

"Sasori. Sasori kidnapped me and tortured me for a few weeks. I don't remember anything that happened during that time, but I remember Sasori came in one day saying that he was going to kill me then Itachi came in and tried to stop him. They got into a huge fight and eventually killed each other. When the others came in I ran for it. Akatsuki blamed me for their deaths." Naruto said.

"If you were kidnapped, why didn't anyone recognize you when you were married to me?" Sasuke asked.

"Only Sasori knew what I really looked like. When everyone else saw me I was covered in blood and messed up real bad. I didn't look anything like what I usually look like." Naruto said.

"Is that where you got your scars?" Sasuke asked. Naruto nodded.

"After I left I was in a hospital for a few months in a small village I stumbled into during my escape. When I woke up I had three scars on each cheek, and three and a half weeks completely lost from my memory. Akatsuki had attacked our hideout and killed almost everyone save for Gaara because they were looking for me. When I got out of the hospital, Gaara and I planned our revenge and that morning five years ago, we carried it out." Naruto said.

"So you took revenge on the people who killed someone precious to you, but you got mad at me for wanting to kill the person said to be responsible for killing my brother?" Sasuke asked. Naruto smirked.

"Well, it was my life we were talking about, so of course I was going to try and convince you not to." Naruto said. Sasuke growled at him. "You're not a murderer, Sasuke. You're a good man. Do you really think your brother would have wanted you to turn into a killer?" Sasuke scoffed and turned away. "That's why I wanted to move back here. So you would have forgotten about Kyuubi and we would have been happy."

"Yeah. I see." Sasuke nodded. Naruto smiled. "Is that why you were crying so much that last night?" Sasuke asked. Naruto laughed quietly and nodded.

"I wanted to be with you and give everything to you, but I knew that the next morning I was going to do something terrible and it broke my heart. But that night was amazing and meant so much to me because I love you Sasuke. I told you that night that I will always love you and I meant it." Naruto smiled softly. Sasuke got up and went to the grates and looked at Naruto closely.

"I swore that no matter what I would always love you." Sasuke said gently. Naruto smiled and started crying.

"You still intend to keep that promise?" Naruto asked.

"Well, the way I see it, you never killed my brother but the Akatsuki did and you killed all of them so really, I should be grateful." Sasuke said reaching through the grate to wipe the tears from Naruto's cheek. Naruto held Sasuke's hand against his cheek. Sasuke sighed. "Even when I found out, I couldn't hate you. I fell for you so hard, Naruto. It shattered my heart that morning."

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Naruto cried and pressed on Sasuke's hand. "I didn't mean for it to happen the way it did."

"I know." Sasuke said gently.

"Can you forgive me?" Naruto asked.

"There's nothing to forgive." Sasuke told him. Naruto looked up at Sasuke slightly shocked. "I love you, Naruto." Sasuke smiled gently at him. Naruto smiled brightly.

"I love you, Sasuke." Naruto smiled. Naruto let go of Sasuke's hand and went to the door of the cell. Quickly throwing it open he ran to his husband, kissing him deeply. Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist and held him tightly. When they broke the kiss Naruto pressed his face into Sasuke's chest while Sasuke just held him. Naruto smiled and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck. "I missed you." Naruto said leaning heavily on Sasuke. Sasuke kissed the top of Naruto's head. He slowly walked backwards towards the cot in the corner of the room and sat down with Naruto beside him. Naruto looked up at him and smiled. He traced the lines of Sasuke's face with his fingers and then laid gentle kissed where his fingers had been.

"Naruto," Sasuke said gently.

"Hmm?" Naruto asked looking up at Sasuke.

"I really do love you." Sasuke said. Naruto smiled.

"Come on." Naruto said kissing Sasuke and getting up. Naruto took Sasuke's hand and started walking out of the cell.

"Where are we going?" Sasuke asked.

"Home." Naruto smiled. Sasuke smiled and tightened his grip on Naruto's hand.

"Lord Hokage, what are you doing with that prisoner?" one of the guards gasped as they walked out of the prison.

"He's not a prisoner, he's my husband." Naruto smiled. Sasuke smirked.

"Husband?" The guard asked.

"Yes." Naruto said and walked off. Sasuke smiled. Even after five years, they were still married. Sasuke couldn't help the stupid grin on his face. He really did love his husband. THE END.
