"Sasuke, are you sure about this?" Naruto bit his lower lip and frowned at the unwrapped scroll in his hands, he had already memorized the hand signs but still he couldn't help himself to reread them just in case he messed up. It did little to reassure him.

The blonde stood in the doorway of the bathroom, in an oversized white sleeping shirt and orange boxers. They were in his apartment that he shared with Sasuke, staying out of the Uchiha's way until he was ready for him. They had moved all of their furniture into the kitchen area and closed the curtains above their bed, what they were about to do needed several layers of privacy. Sasuke, who was writing on the wooden floor with a small brush, dipped in black ink, stopped. Carefully setting the brush on a cloth next to a bottle of ink, he sat up and stretched his back, he had been leaning over the floor for an hour, maybe an hour and a half.

His nearly flawless skin grew taut over defined muscles on his back as he flexed and stretched any amount of soreness that could have built up. He wore no shirt and only black pants that loosely fell to his knees before tightening around his calves and hooking a band of cloth under the arch of his feet. Wiping away beaded sweat that had formed across his forehead, the last remaining Uchiha stood up. Naruto watched as Sasuke turned around and dusted his black pants off, eyes downcast at his legs. When Sasuke was done, he stepped forward and looked up, that emotionless mask that kept his eyes cold and a small scowl in place.

"Did you memorize the hand signs?" Sasuke bit out as his icy obsidian eyes stared into nervous azure ones. Naruto nodded and tried to speak but Sasuke continued. "Did you get me all the scrolls I asked for when I needed them?"

"Yes, Sasuke but-" Naruto tried to answer but Sasuke was relentless.

"Do you think that after three years with that snake pedophile I could have acquired mangekyou sharingan, an immunity too numerous poisons and gases but wouldn't have learned how to combine the simplest of jutsu to work perfectly to achieve a goal?" Sasuke continued to stare into Naruto's eyes, daring him to say anything. Naruto's insecurities fled from his mind for a moment, allowing anger to replace it.

"Teme, you know that's not what I meant," Naruto huffed. He angrily watched as Sasuke's mask slid and a look of slight annoyance and an even tinier hint of concern ruled the Uchiha's facial features. Once sure he knew Sasuke understood it wasn't Sasuke's part he was worried about, Naruto's fear returned as quickly as it had left. "Do you really trust me to do this? If I mess up even once you could get seriously fucked up or even worse you could die-"

Sasuke placed a palm over Naruto's mouth and rolled his eyes. "Dobe." Was all he said but for Naruto it wasn't enough.

Dropping the scroll in his hands, the blonde grabbed Sasuke's hand by the wrist and pulled it away from his mouth. He used his other hand to wrap around Sasuke's waist and pulled the dark haired male closer to him. Their chests bumped up against each other, Sasuke's chin just above Naruto's collarbone. Reacting to Naruto's actions, he looked up to tell the blonde off only to have his lips covered by another pair. Naruto's lips moved against Sasuke's, the blonde's tongue sliding across the Uchiha's lips in an attempt to gain access to the other's mouth. The Uchiha allowed Naruto's tongue to slip in, running across molars and canines before teasingly pushing into Sasuke's tongue. He attempted to tease the dark haired male into participating more in the kiss but Sasuke denied him, choosing to pull away instead.

"Do you love me?" Sasuke asked. His chest rising and falling at a slightly accelerated pace as he tried to calm himself down.

"Yes." Naruto replied. He stared into Sasuke's eyes with such sincerity and passion it almost took Sasuke's breath away, almost.

"Then you won't mess up." Sasuke stated with finality, he slipped his wrist out of the blonde's grip and pried the other off his waist. He turned back to the empty space in front of him and stared at the floor, double checking his work before kneeling down and picking the brush up again to start where he had left off.

"Are you sure this is the best way though?" Naruto asked, still uncertain. He bent down and picked up the scroll he had dropped and scanned its contents for probably the hundredth time. "Couldn't we ask someone to carry our child?"

"We've already talked about this Usuratonkachi; we can't use a surrogate mother because they are weak, hate one or both of us or are ninjas themselves. It's better if we do it."

"But you've done all the research, you shouldn't have to deal with carrying a kid for nine months too. I'll do it." Naruto spoke up. Sasuke didn't look up; too busy concentrating as he finished the circle on their apartment floor.

"Don't be an idiot, I'm forbidden to walk out of the village, the highest level of a mission I could possibly do is a D. If you're the size of a whale and unable to walk let alone perform B and A rank missions we won't be able to support ourselves financially." Sasuke's hand slowly raised the brush and dipped it in ink. "No, I'm the most logical choice to carry our baby, besides," Sasuke slowly finished scrawling the last part of the circle; he set the brush down on the cloth again and sat back, checking his work. "I'm normally on bottom anyway."

"But I have Kyuubi, he could-" Naruto started but Sasuke shook his head and stood up.

"None of the villagers would stand for it, they wouldn't know what Kyuubi would or could do to the embryo, the elders would demand an immediate termination and I don't think the Hokage could stop them. It's political suicide and would only give them reason to hurt out child." Sasuke sighed almost longingly as he stepped closer to his blonde.

"I don't want to hurt you, Sasuke. So many things could go wrong with this, so many things that I could mess up on." Naruto started again with what could happen if he made one wrong move. Sasuke rolled his eyes and put a hand on the scroll that Naruto was trying to memorize. Naruto looked up; his bright blue eyes filled with worry and of course love. With a small smile, Sasuke leaned up and kissed the blonde on his cheek.

"I trust you," Sasuke whispered. The Uchiha could feel the blonde shiver beside him. "The seal will do everything with you in steps, as long as you take your time you'll be fine." Naruto sighed and nodded but didn't look convinced. Rolling his eyes again, Sasuke pushed Naruto into the bathroom, taking the scroll from tan hands and setting it on the sink. Sasuke pulled Naruto to the toilet and sat him down, still annoyed with the fact that he needed to console the blonde. Was he really this much of an idiot?

"You want to be a daddy, don't you?" Sasuke asked. He climbed into Naruto's lap and pulled the blonde's face up with his hands. The blonde looked up at his dark haired lover with those big blue eyes.

"Yes." Naruto mumbled. Raising his hand to cover one of Sasuke's hands with his own.

"Then grow a pair of balls and a dick, Dobe 'cause you're going to need them." Sasuke smirked and watched as the blonde glared up at him, he pulled a second scroll from the sink and unrolled it.

"Is this the barrier?" Naruto asked. Dropping his hand and taking the scroll from the Uchiha. Nodding, Sasuke stood up from Naruto's lap and leaned against the shower door.

"Yes, a three layered barrier that protects all the weak spots within each layer. With your blood, it'll last twelve hours." Sasuke explained. He motioned to the rest of the apartment. "No one outside of these walls will know what we do in here for the next twelve hours from the moment your blood hits that scroll." Naruto looked it over then bit his thumb and slid it across the scroll, blood trailing behind it.

"Let's do this." Naruto semi-confidently muttered. The blonde set the scroll aside and stood up, hands meeting with Sasuke's in some old fashioned hand holding as they stepped out of the bathroom. Nothing seemed to have changed inside the small apartment but they were both sure the barriers were up. Sasuke let go of Naruto's hands and carefully stepped into the circle he had drawn, not wanting to smudge anything. Naruto stood outside the circle and watched as Sasuke sat down cross-legged in the center of the circle where no marking on the wood lay.

"Remember, Naruto, destroy the seal first before you make a new one." Sasuke tilted his head to the side to show the blonde the cursed seal that still sat in the crook of his neck and shoulder.

"Oh don't worry about that, Kyuubi is only too happy to get rid of that bastards mark." Naruto grinned at the memory of the fox pacing the length of his jail and ranting about how his mate should never be marked by another. Getting to his knees, Naruto took a deep breath and placed his hands on the giant circle, fingers placed in small circles where they were meant to be. Almost immediately, Sasuke went stone still, he could feel Sasuke trying to relax but his muscles quivered at the seal's binds.

Naruto could feel the seal pulling at him, begging for chakra to complete the task it was made for. With a deep breath, he allowed Kyuubi to supply him with chakra, he could feel his nails elongating and his teeth getting sharper. Pushing the red chakra into the seal, he saw the ink flare red as the chakra passed through it and then leaped from the floor to Sasuke's seal. The red chakra jaggedly forced its way up Sasuke shoulder, sharp fragments of it slipped from the main chakra, dissipating into the air. For a few moment, it beat against the seal, pounding through the protection and curse until they both broke simultaneously. Sasuke inhaled sharply as the curse tried to take over his body. Unwanted power attacking his chakra paths in such large amounts it was disgustingly breathtaking.

"Hang on, Sasuke." Naruto told the Uchiha as he released more chakra into the seal. The red chakra quickly covered Sasuke's body and forced the curse back up to the pale shoulder. A few more seconds and the curse collapsed, consumed by angry red chakra. Once the cursed seal was gone, Sasuke sighed in relief and visibly relaxed. The blonde retracted Kyuubi's chakra but kept his hands on the seal; his nails and teeth had shortened back to normal much to Naruto's relief.

"Thanks, Dobe." Sasuke muttered. Naruto nodded and focused on his chakra. The ink had slid back to black after he took back Kyuubi's chakra but now it slowly turned blue as Naruto's chakra passed through it. Liquid smooth lines of blue grew from the floor and rose to touch Sasuke's stomach; they touched Sasuke's pale skin then started to waver. Frowning, Naruto pushed more of his chakra into the seal and watched the lines grow thicker but they refused to do anything.

"You have to imagine it, Dobe, you wanted the curse seal gone and the chakra did it, you have to want to do this to me." Sasuke said. Obsidian orbs watched the blue chakra tentatively touch his stomach, it's warm touches giving the Uchiha goose bumps.

"I know that Teme, but I don't want it to hurt." Naruto replied, he sighed angrily and concentrated harder.

"Idiot, we're creating a space inside my body to carry a fetus. If it doesn't hurt it isn't working." Sasuke grunted. He tried to shift away from the prodding chakra but the seals binding held him in place securely.

"Fine, bastard." Naruto snapped, frustrated. He bit his lower lip and closed his eyes, pushing more and more chakra into the seal. The bright blue chakra thickened into one large blob, it pushed against Sasuke's stomach again and then finally sunk through the pale skin.

Sasuke winced as the chakra passed through his skin; it had grown hotter until it scalded his nerves and created a sharp stinging sensation in his abdomen. The stinging continued as the chakra created a small flexible 'space' inside Sasuke's abdomen. Once the space was made, the foreign chakra pooled around his hips, pushing against them. Surprised, Sasuke let out a choked sound as pressure was applied to his hips only to increase the pain he was in. Releasing his breath, Naruto opened his eyes to look worriedly at his boyfriend whose eyes were wide, mouth open in a silent scream.

"I'm sorry." Naruto whispered. Sasuke grunted and squeezed his eyes shut, gritting his teeth so he wouldn't open his mouth again and scream. The chakra inside Sasuke stretched lower to his pelvis, it attached to his pubic symphysis and infused itself with the bone.

"Gyeh!" Sasuke's body quivered as the chakra forced the bone to lengthen and in turn pushed the rest of his body out of order. The chakra, still pushing at his hips, infused to it and widened them; Naruto could hear the bones moving under Sasuke's pale skin and saw them stretch his pants. Chakra moved up to the Uchiha's spine and infused itself to the lumbar vertebra of his spine, making Sasuke scream as it infused. Cringing at the sound of his boyfriend's cry of pain, Naruto could only watch as he refigured the Uchiha's skeletal system. Once Sasuke's spine was re-curved the chakra spread out, forming it's own space in Sasuke's abdomen underneath his skin. The rest of it was slowly oozing its way out of Sasuke's body. Sasuke was breathing heavily, eyes still closed as sweat dripped down his forehead and chest.

"Damn it, Dobe," Sasuke breathlessly hissed. "Why the hell were you messing with my spine?" Blue chakra slid up Sasuke's body, seemingly painless since Naruto didn't see Sasuke shudder as it slid up his skin.

"I wanted you to be as comfortable as possible while you're pregnant, I guess you needed it." Naruto said, watching as the blue chakra slid to Sasuke's shoulder and swirled where the curse seal used to sit.

"Just fucking finish it already, the sooner it's done the quicker I can fucking strangle you." Sasuke gritted out. He glared at Naruto from where he sat, still breathing heavily. Naruto nodded but didn't refute the Uchiha, focusing on the seal instead. Hissing as the chakra heated again, Sasuke could only bear the pain as it bit into his skin. Naruto continued to watch as a seal formed on the shoulder and when it finally was completed the chakra slid back down off of Sasuke and into the ink on the floor again.

The bright blue ink faded into black and then as quickly as it deactivated the ink popped up from the floor and shriveled in on itself until nothing but a light black dust remained. The seal was larger than the curse seal had been, it's diameter running from the crook of Sasuke's neck to the edge of his shoulder, squiggly black lines of ink surrounding what looked to be an Uchiha fan at the center; a line spiraling to the middle. The entire seal that Sasuke had spent hours making was gone. Said Uchiha collapsed onto his face on the floor when the binds were suddenly released.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as he scrambled over to the Uchiha. The blonde pulled Sasuke up by the armpits into his chest, arms wrapping around the pale man's chest as his lower body rested on the blonde's legs. "Does it hurt?" Naruto asked. Sasuke just glared up at him.

"Now help me, Dobe," Sasuke muttered. He pointed to the table where a large syringe with a clear liquid inside of it lay. "I need you to put that in me while you're holding the seal." Naruto took the syringe and looked at, confused.

"Why?" Naruto asked. Looking to Sasuke who just rolled his eyes.

"Usuratonkachi." Sasuke muttered. Naruto began to protest but Sasuke rolled his eyes again and glared at the blonde. "I can't make eggs so I took some from the fertility clinic at the hospital when I was doing a mission over there. With the help of those books I had you get, I managed to take the DNA out of them and inserted my own, hopefully one of them will take and attach to the chakra wall." Naruto just blinked and continued to stare at his lover, utterly confused. Sighing exasperatedly Sasuke pulled down his pants.

"Put that in me while the seal is activated so when we have sex, I have a possibility of getting pregnant. Do I need to explain more?" Sasuke asked. Naruto grinned and shook his head, holding the syringe up with both hands. Sasuke got into position and looked back to Naruto who kneeled down behind him, pointing the syringe at Sasuke. Carefully, Naruto pressed his hand against Sasuke's left shoulder and focused some chakra into his hand, the seal slowly appeared in the black ink.

**~ Restricted Content, just explicit description of ^^. Visit links on Profile for the full and completely intact story~**

"Activate the seal, Dobe." Sasuke whispered hoarsely. Quickly, Naruto pulled chakra away from his fingertips and watched as the seal disappeared into Sasuke's skin. Once the seal completely disappeared, almost immediately Sasuke let out a sigh of relief.

"You okay?" Naruto asked. Nodding, Sasuke brought his hand to Naruto's shoulder and used it to sit up, wiggle his pants back on and then stand up. Wobbling a little, Sasuke still kept a hand on Naruto's shoulder and tried to stay upright.

"Yeah it worked," Sasuke muttered. "At least as far as I can tell but we won't know for sure until anything happens." Naruto bit his lip but didn't say anything.

Cautiously, Sasuke let go of Naruto's shoulder and wobbled over to a length-sized mirror they had set up beside the bed. Naruto got up and followed his lover, trailing close behind in case he fell over. Sasuke managed to keep upright and quickly learned that if he let his hips sway with every step his body adjusted almost automatically to keep him upright. Once in front of the mirror, Sasuke looked at himself with scrutiny. He brought his hands to his hips and felt them jut out from the rest of his figure, turning he continued to look at himself, fingers sliding down to the small of his back and ass.

"Usuratonkachi," Sasuke murmured as his fingers slid against his pronounced rump. "You gave me a bigger ass, you idiot." He glared at his reflection then turned his head to give the same glare at Naruto. Naruto's eyes widened in surprise before he came up behind Sasuke and touched his ass. True to Sasuke's word, his ass stood out just a little more than he remembered, the small of his back more defined than before.

"I guess it happened when I got to the spine." Naruto answered. Sasuke swatted the tan hand away and turned back to the mirror to frown at his ass as he mapped it out with his hands. "It's not permanent is it?" The blonde asked. He didn't like that Sasuke was angry but he hadn't intentionally done it, the chakra had done it without regret, its mission was to make Sasuke comfortable for carrying a baby.

"No, once we cut open the chakra uterus and detach the baby, my body will revert to its previous form, whatever is left of your chakra will dissipate or return to you." Sasuke sighed and let the frown and glare disappear, his hands falling to his sides. He didn't bother explaining the part about the unfertilized eggs; it would just confuse Naruto even more, at least at this point in time. "At least it isn't extremely noticeable. No one will notice the change unless they measured it." Turning away from the mirror Sasuke faced Naruto who was looking confused.

"What does my chakra do again?" Naruto asked. Sasuke chuckled and smiled, a hand coming up to his shoulder to rub the spot where the seal lay under his skin.

"It's keeping and protecting the makeshift uterus inside of me, since I'm not pregnant yet the excess chakra is connected to my own chakra channels and is helping my body deal with pain I'm in right now." Sasuke explained; he didn't miss the cringe that Naruto tried to hide when he brought up pain.

"I'm so sorry, Sasuke." Naruto started but Sasuke rolled his eyes and stepped forward, his ass swaying behind him. Hesitating with his apology, Naruto watched Sasuke come closer and when their faces were inches apart, the blonde dipped his head down to kiss the Uchiha.

The Uchiha didn't protest as Naruto captured his lips, the dark haired man closed his eyes and pressed his body against his lover. Tan arms wrapped around Sasuke's waist, holding him close as an apology. A small moan came from the kiss. Naruto couldn't help but smile as Sasuke pushed his tongue against Naruto's mouth, begging for the blonde to ravish him. Naruto opened his lips and stuck his tongue out, immediately fighting for dominance against Sasuke's tongue. The blonde won the battle and plundered Sasuke's mouth as his prize, smiling when Sasuke mewled and reached up to grip Naruto's t-shirt. Breaking the kiss, Naruto slid his hands upwards to the hem of Sasuke's pants; he teased the skin just above them with his fingertips while he stared into Sasuke's obsidian orbs that reflected Naruto's lust filled emotions.

"You can make up for the pain," Sasuke gasped for breath that Naruto had stolen from him before smiling up at his blonde. "In bed." That was all Naruto needed. Kissing Sasuke again, he picked the Uchiha up by his hips and carried him to the bed.

**~ Restricted Content, quite a bit of it. Visit links on Profile for the full and completely intact story~**

"That was cheap." Sasuke muttered. Turning his head to look at the blonde who was trying and failing not to smile.

"What are you talking about, Teme?" Naruto innocently questioned. The edges of his lips twitching as the smile won out against his composure.

"Dobe." Sasuke sighed and closed his eyes, basking in the afterglow. A comfortable silence settled between them until Naruto shifted, lying on his side so he could snuggle up against Sasuke.

"How will we know when you're pregnant?" Naruto asked. He raised his hand from Sasuke's chest and slid his fingers through Sasuke's black hair and twirled silky black strands through his fingers. Sasuke leaned towards Naruto's hand and raised his own hand to his abdomen.

"The seal will appear on my shoulder when a fetus attaches to the walls of it," Sasuke murmured. Pulling away from Naruto, he sat up on the bed. "I'm going to take a shower." Naruto watched as Sasuke stood up and stepped toward the bathroom, When he was in the doorway, Sasuke looked back with a smirk on his face.

"You coming, Dobe?" Sasuke asked. The Uchiha disappeared into the bathroom, still smirking, and all Naruto could do was sit in shock for a few seconds before getting out of bed and run into the bathroom after his lover, grinning from ear to ear.

Sasuke gave the bathroom a cursory glance, everything was as it should be and he relaxed again. He knew his ability in barrier making was excellent but there would always be someone who could break through a barrier, no matter how strong. The window was open behind the flimsy curtains the Dobe had put up, a light orange color. Cautiously, he peeked out from the side of the curtain. There didn't seem to be anyone there, this was the only side of the house that had an opening at the two weakest parts of the barrier. Looking farther out, he saw an anbu standing on the roof across the street, facing away from the apartment.

Slowly, Sasuke moved away from the window and readjusted the curtain so he wouldn't worry about it anymore, the worst thing that could happen would be they would break it in the middle of their shower. Sasuke turned around to see Naruto barging into the bathroom, goofy grin and all. Sasuke rolled his eyes at the blonde but didn't reject the bear hug the blonde captured him in.

"Why so cuddly all of a sudden?" Sasuke asked. The Uchiha raised his arms to return the hug and loosely held the blonde to him, resting his head on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto hesitated speaking, tightening his grip on the Uchiha as he let go of the skin between his teeth.

"I love you." Naruto murmured and Sasuke smiled a bit. "Thank you Sasuke."

"You made up for it Naruto, you don't need to thank me." Sasuke muttered, embarrassed.

"I can't thank you enough, for staying with me, for making me the happiest person alive. Hell, for changing your body so you could carry our child." Naruto gushed enthusiastically. Their lips met in a chaste kiss, Naruto's lips breaking away to mark a trail of kisses down the Uchiha's jaw and neck. The Uchiha sighed softly and held onto the blonde shoulders tighter.

"You're such a Dobe," Sasuke muttered. Naruto stopped his kisses and looked into his lovers eyes solemnly. "I'm the one who doesn't deserve you, after all you've done for me I owe you everything." Sasuke stopped and pulled Naruto's head by his hair up to kiss him, tongue slipping into the blonde's mouth. Before the blonde could start a battle of the tongues, Sasuke broke the kiss and hugged Naruto close to him. "Besides," Sasuke whispered in the blonde's ear. "I want a child as much as you do and I'm obviously willing to do almost anything, regardless of how pleasurable it is getting pregnant."

"Fuck, Sasuke." Naruto mumbled; he kissed the Uchiha's neck again, sucking a hickey into place. He straightened himself out and Sasuke frowned as lukewarm water cascaded down his back, their water would bill would be expensive this month. Sasuke stood up straight; he bent his knees and stretched. Sore from being in the same position to long he turned around and wrapped his arms around Naruto's shoulder and kissed the blonde languidly. The blonde wrapped his arms around the Uchiha's waist and kissed him back, slowly opening his mouth to explore Sasuke's. Slipping his tongue over Sasuke's canines, Naruto released Sasuke's waist to blindly search for soap on the rack below the showerhead. Sasuke broke the kiss and lowered his head to kiss Naruto's collarbone.

"I love you." Sasuke whispered as he kissed his way up Naruto's collarbone, he listened to Naruto chuckle as the blonde leaned into him and then suddenly pulled back. Looking up, Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the blonde who held up a bar of soap with a grin.

"You love me enough to let me wash you?" Sasuke rolled his eyes and nodded, hoping the Dobe wouldn't want to go a third round. Naruto quickly lathered the soap in a hand towel and started with Sasuke's chest, he didn't seem to be making a pass at the Uchiha so Sasuke let him go further. Naruto washed the Uchiha's chest and arms and had Sasuke turn around so he could wash his back and lower areas. Once Naruto was finished with Sasuke he hurriedly soaped himself up as Sasuke rinsed off, watching the blonde clean himself off. As Sasuke finished rinsing he stepped out of the shower and watched as Naruto took his spot under the cold water and washed away the suds of soap off his body.

"You know, I think you're ass looks really good, despite me changing it and all." Naruto said nonchalantly, he watched as Sasuke dried off with a towel. Sasuke flipped him the bird and walked out of the bathroom, towel over his shoulders and ass still swaying. Quickly finishing in his quick shower, Naruto turned off the showerhead and grabbed another towel off the rack, running it through his hair before wiping down his body quickly. He walked out of the bathroom and looked for his lover who was walking around in the kitchen with his hands on his ass and the lights off, getting used to his new walking pattern.

"Sasuke, come here." Naruto called out. Sasuke looked up and made his way over to the blonde as he lowered his hands; his skill in walking had improved. Sasuke walked forward without a single tottering move, his hips swaying only faintly with each step. As soon as Sasuke was close enough, Naruto pulled the Uchiha into a bear hug, picking the male up off the floor. "Stop worrying."

"Hn," Sasuke muttered. He wrapped his legs around Naruto's hips and arms around his shoulders, the blonde puckered his lips for a kiss but Sasuke just stared at him. Naruto wasn't affected by the lack of affection; it was usual for the Teme. Walking over to the bed, Naruto kneeled down on it and gently set his lover down, Sasuke watched as Naruto leaned down and kissed him again, chastely.

"No one will notice, and even when they do it'll be too late for them to do anything about it." Naruto whispered, he fell to the side and lay next to Sasuke. Said Uchiha unwrapped his legs but pulled the blonde closer by the shoulders and went for another kiss. They kissed once more, leaving Naruto smiling, he went down for another kiss, and another. All of them were chaste and lip only, both tired from their activities.

"Usuratonkachi." Sasuke mumbled quietly, he sounded worn out. Naruto grinned and held the Uchiha closer.

"Night, Sasuke." Naruto whispered, Sasuke felt the blonde shift one last time before he settled down, both closed their eyes and drifted off.
