Chapter Text

Sasuke smiles a a small smile, a barely Noticeable twitch of the lips, 

Naruto feels his heart light ablaze that day, that day so many years ago.

And so the men, who fell in love as boys sit in the grass of their garden… look up at the moon in the sky.

And then Sasuke looks towards his sun, to Naruto.

His everything.

And so as the moon shines down on his sun, his and His alone.

His Beautiful sun-kissed face illuminated by the silver glow

With that, Sasuke was happy

And so, with Absolute trust.

He slept, basking in the warmth of his sun.

Chapter Text

As they lay there in the Valley, Sakura Kneeling beside them, Healing them from their fateful World altering clash

Sasuke Knew he had lost.

It was a bitter sensation. Yes, but at the same time it brought peace, he lost, he knew he lost, he admitted it.

He knew that he could no longer chase his goals and while that was a sad moment at the end of the day, it was happy because he could rest, he could finally rest,

he could go back to the people he loved the people he left an exchange for gaining strength. The strength to kill his brother, the strength he so desperately needed-

except he didn't need , t Sasuke thought

Everything was a lie his goal. Yes, his brother had killed his clan, but he was ordered to do so, At the end of the day, he loved him more than he loved anything else.

So Sasuke laid there bleeding out. Slowly being healed from the terrible injuries, he knew

He knew his fight was over.

He might have many more fights in the future, but his battle for his sense of self for his freedom for his goals.

His ambitions, his fight to figure out who he was was over, he knew who he was, he knew what he had to do.

He had to support Naruto.

He had to support the person who pulled him out of the darkness at exchange of his own arm, who tried desperately for years to get him to see reason, reason which he knew that he would not have seen.

‘So hopeful’ Sasuke thinks,

Whether it's about Naruto or about himself, he doesn't know because he knows that he feels hopeful for the future.

For the first time in a very long time. He knows he knows that he will have a future.

He knows at the end of the day. This battle marks an ending,

a happy ending for a tale of conflict and the start to a new tale, a tale of peace, happiness, warmth, love, and rest.

Chapter Text

“Sasuke, Hurry up, get your stuff. We're gonna be late to the land of water. We have a meeting with Chojuro”

Sasuke sighs at Naruto's words

“Naruto, we saved the fucking World, we can be late. Besides, we CAN just teleport, we don't have to run”

Naruto chuckles.

“But that would be BOOORING ya’ know, we gotta run”

Sasuke sighs again but a small Smile crosses his face.

He very deep down, feels Excited, back When his only goal was revenge against his brother vengeance for his Clan, he never took in the sights. He always was.

Racing towards the finish line.

Now, he is HEADING there.

But it's a scenic route.

And for the first time in a long time, he can smell the roses.

Chapter Text

Sasuke was nervous.

For the very first time in a LONG TIME he was Nervous for something.

He had tried dating before, Twice actually.

Once with Sakura and once with Karin, more to humor them rather than out of his own desire, he gave them a chance but they didn't make his heart race like he did.

‘Like Naruto’ Sasuke thought

Finally he makes it To ichiraku, and it doesn't feel that much different from when they hung out as friends.

Though he can't get over the nervousness, his heart continues to beat

Anticipation and fear and anxiety all bundled into one horrible concoction.

And finally the food is served

“Ahhhh, Misao with Extra Pork, Just how I love it” Naruto cheers loudly.

And with that, Sasuke understands.

Dating somebody isn't that much different from being best friends.

So he figures, he should probably start making those differences more apparent.

And so the sight  of The owner of the Ramen stall walks in after getting done with cooking Sasuke's bowl.

Truly is a heartwarming one.

Naruto quickly sets down some cash on the counter paying for both of their bowls before dragging Sasuke off to places unknown.

“He didn't even finish his ramen, i'm kind of concerned”

Teuchi shrugs, somewhat conflicted, but goes back to his other customers. 

And so the date comes to The clothes *yes Clothes on the floor, you get the Idea*

Chapter Text

“Sasuke, Does Heavenly hand require line of sight? And if not, does it have a maximum range” Sasuke can already feel the Headache coming on, Naruto asking questions is never a good thing.

“Hn, no line of sight required, max range is from here to about…. ICHIRAKU”

Naruto frowns

“Portal it is then!”

Sasuke scowls but takes a knee and holds out his hands.

Within the SECOND there's a scroll.

“Take this to Garra yeah!”

Sasuke nods and with a bright purple flash of light he disappears.

Naruto waits there in the office, he knows this could take minutes, or Sasuke could decide to take an hour to rest, Rinnegan Jutsu take a lot out of you, or so he hears.

Naruto sits there and thinks.

‘We've come so far, but… something isn't right, Sasuke is back in the village, there isn't more than I could possibly have yet I want more’

Sasuke was his friend, his work partner, Co-leader, Half of the 7th hokage in ALL but the legalities.

‘What more could I want’

Naruto's mind wanderers when a Bright flash of light and airy Huge Surge of Chakra startles him out of his thoughts.

‘Wait Chakra?’

As Naruto wipes a tear from his eye unseen, he realizes that he went into sage mode without meaning to.

‘Well it certainly did calm me down, I should probably be more careful.’

“Naruto, you ok” the normally dull voice is filled with concern that warms Naruto's heart.

Naruto nods, pushing away the dreams and thoughts of something that could never be.

‘I am married after all’

And with that, Sasuke shares the Kazekage's response, so the day ends on a bitter note

Chapter Text

Naruto feels goosebumps on his skin, feels like he's burning up, Sasuke's fingers skate across his skin, like hockey player on ice

Naruto smiles a bit as Sasuke continues his massage, it's rare days that his Husband is home for long enough to do this, even fewer when Naruto could have time off for himself.

“I love you Naruto, you know that Right?” Sasuke asked in a deep tone, warm but almost pleading.

And of course Naruto understood, there was no way he couldn't.

He did belong to Sasuke after all, most might find that words demeaning or such.

But to Naruto, belonging to a man as great as Sasuke, that was just further PROOF of his worth…..

And Naruto had to admit it made the bedroom quite fun.

“Understand Naruto, you belong to me, you always will, and i will NEVER let anything take you”

Though, Naruto had to admit, Even he found the determination in those words startling.

Chapter Text

Sasuke's eyes Widen as a Clang resounds throughout the valley.

“NARUTO, THIS Otsutsuki is tough!”

Naruto Grins his Acknowledgement before Entering KCM2.

A large Shock wave shakes the ground from the impact of the punch, the Pale alien gets knocked back but no damage is done.

Naruto groans 

“What's with this punk, he's not fast or even that strong, but his durability is Through the roof Y'know”

Sasuke smirks

“I don't see a Rinnegan, you know what that means”

Naruto leaps back dodging a blow when a smile comes to his face.

Naruto Enter's sage mode, He charges up a MASSIVE wind style Rasen-Shuriken, Sasuke's eyes bleed as he fills the Dangerous Jutsu with as much Amaterasu As he can spare.

Sasuke grabs onto Naruto and opens a portal, closing it after dragging Naruto through.

Just before it closes the Otsutsuki's hand reaches through getting severed.

“Damn, that was annoying, couldn't you have jus-”

Sasuke sighs already knowing what Naruto is going to say.

“Their souls are FAR to strong”

Naruto pouts but nonetheless unseals his hat from his wrist putting it back on, with a quick peck on the cheek from Sasuke.

Naruto Begrudgingly fights the WORST enemy of them all.

PAPERWORK

Chapter Text

“Oi Sasuke, be careful okay, there's a cattle thief around, I doubt they'll try to target us, but they might just, so be careful. Better safe than sorry ya’ know.”

Sasuke smiles at his words, the concern is definitely unnecessary, but just because it's unnecessary doesn't mean it makes him feel bad. No, it makes him feel quite good to know how cared for he is.

Inturn Naruto grins and pats Sasuke's cheek before heading off to the kitchen to cook some chili for dinner.

“Well, might as well post up for a long night”

Sasuke mumbles these words to himself with a frown, he puts on some comfortable shoes, nice and warm, like slippers, really more for comfort than walking. 

He puts on a warm jacket, and some even warmer pants, it's not normally particularly cold out, but sometimes it doesn't matter. 

Sitting out at night with an open window Will give you a chill anyways.

Finally Sasuke grabs his Purple scarf he had tied around his waist, just run though his belt loops.

Finally Sasuke Grabs his Rifle.

It's a really beautiful one too, a sleek aluminum chassis of the Sako S20 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.

A nice 2 times magnification lense in the scope.

Sasuke smiles, this gun isn't so great for Hunting, it can be used for that definitely, but it's specialty is long-range target shooting.

With that, Sasuke heads up the ladder. He seeps up the stairs.

He sees a stain on the ground, he doesn't recognize that it looks almost like dried blood. But why would there be dry blood on the floor of his house?

What could possibly cause that other than somebody dying? Nobody's died close to him, not that he remembers.

Sasuke takes a seat in the chair near the window and opens it up.

“Wake Up”

Sasuke startles awake in bed, the TV still playing in the living room, Naruto laying on his chest. 

Just a dream.

Though Sasuke swears he catches a flash of Red everytime he looks in the Mirror

Sometimes things get a little bit hazy, like he shouldn't be here like nothing is reel.

But at the end of the day everything, that one nightmare was just a nightmare and life is real this is real, his nice suburban home with his husband.

And so, Sasuke presses a quick kiss to the forehead of his husband before going to sleep, not able to shake the feeling that something is wrong.

Chapter Text

Sasuke smiles a warm smile as Naruto starts to excitedly Ramble and do her long hair.

Sasuke sighs, it's always been a bit of a pain to do her hair, it's always been unruly, she's heard the words “ducks ass” be thrown around, 

She's not particularly surprised, either way she relaxes into the *somewhat forceful ministrations*

And so it continues like that for the rest of the day.

She knew married life was domestic, but they weren't even married Yet.

‘What am I thinking, we've been dating for 2 weeks’

Sasuke groans even as Naruto massages her back.

She realizes that speaking about marriage 2 weeks in is….certainly unusual.

But as Naruto smiles a bright smile at her, she can't bring herself to care.

Chapter Text

“Happy birthday Naruto”

Sasuke's quiet murmurs wake Naruto, bringing him to life.

Naruto was surprised, nobody had EVER celebrated his birthday with him other than Gramps, People had brought presents and well wishes but.

Then they left, only gramps stayed, And now Sasuke.

Naruto smiles a blinding smile he imagines would make anyone but Sasuke wince.

But Sasuke simply ruffles his hair before doing something UNBELIEVABLY Extra.

He tosses up a Single Ryo, his Rinnegan glows More Pink than Purple. 

Suddenly there is a bowl of ramen in my lap.

“Ehhhh, Amenotejikara? For that?”

Sasuke smirks

“I have power so I'm going to use it.”

Naruto grins and for probably the seventh time already today he thinks.

‘Sages be, I love this man way to much’

Chapter Text

“SASUKE, FIGHT ME DAMN IT” Naruto roars as he charges at his opponent in the spar.

He always tries his best in the academy mandated Spars, but this time he feels the desire to BEAT his oppone.

To simply ravage them

How dare He, he has a happy family, a happy life, a mother, a brother *ok Sasuke's dad isn't that great now that he thinks about it. He's that meanie who always tosses him in the slammer for pranks. But still*

Naruto Growls a bit, 

‘And he wooed Sakura, THAT'S THAT’

And so the fists FLY, A right hook into a leg kick, the kick is sloppy and Sasuke knocks him on his ass.

‘DAMN IT’ Naruto stands up.

And he Punches and Punches and Punches some more.

Sasuke beats the shit out of him over and over and over again, but Sasuke starts to get tired.

And Naruto does not.

Naruto is bruised and broken.

And finally he lands a nasty uppercut on Sasuke chin.

Sasuke flies about a foot into the air before falling on the ground unconscious 

For about half a second Naruto feels a joy, he won a fight. He won't fight against the strongest kidding class finally and then that joy gives way into a filthy feeling.

I hurt him, because he has what I wish I had, is that really the way I want to live, right? I'm not sure it is.

Naruto Gets Carted off to the  infirmary, where he continues his unusual introspection.

But the SECOND that Gramps shows up and offers rahman to celebrate his victory.

All that goes through his head is

“FOOD FOOD FOOOOD!”

Chapter Text

“I love you so much” Naruto thinks to himself, 

Finally, they escaped this horrible war, and they managed to beat Madara and… Freaky alien space lady or whatever.

And the Alcohol is flowing, and even Kurama is exhaus-

“What did you say”

Shit

“Whatever do you mean Ya Jerk”

Sasuke's cheeks are flushed so beautifully

“Gid damn it, Again?”

Sasuke scowls cheeks pinking further.

Naruto sheepishly smiles

“That's not how I wanted it to come out, but it is what it is, I might be just a little bit too drunk though. I'm not used to this sort of effect you know, cause normally the big ol fox burns it off”

Naruto Rambles and Rambles and continues to do so for what feels like hours but was most likely only a matter of minutes well, fuck me, 

“I guess I mean? We have a hookup here? Maybe?”

Sasuke palms his face before snarling and pulling the blonde into a fierce and hungry kiss.

Quickly pulling him into the closet

Chapter Text

“You know, Sasuke. This is the happiest day of my life and it will most likely be the happiest day of my life for a very long time until the day in which it becomes the 2nd happiest day of my life.”

“Hn?” Naruto can almost Hear the Inquisitive tone.

For anybody else, it would be indecipherable. But for him, who knows his new husband so well.

It's simply challenging, not easy. It could never be easy, not with him.

Nothing with him is easy, but that's why he loves him.

Naruto thinks to himself ‘I can't believe he's all mine, I'm not all his, I'm the hokage. I am the Whole Village's More his but also theirs. And yet he is all mine… I can attribute this to luck, partly. But more so grit and determination’

Naruto presses a kiss to Sasuke's lips as the Pastor pronounces them married.

Naruto whispers

“By second happiest I mean when we have kids, that will be my happiest day”

Sasuke, he smiles a soft smile, or as close to soft as he can get.

And that's that.

Chapter Text

Minato woke up, and got dressed, as he always did, then he ate breakfast and he immediately teleported to the office.

Most people tend to think Being Hokage is cool. So did he once.

And then he found out it was paperwork on top of paperwork on top of paperwork.

Oh what do you know

“Crow, Hawk, I have quite mission for you”

Naruto and Sasuke, how wonderful. Minato was so glad that these childhood friends decided to stick together however. 

 though he would have preferred, if they had decided to be somewhere else.

Such as the Jonin corp.

Minato looked at Crow's Blonde Hair and gave a nod before turning to hawk.

“Hawk, you will be the mission leader. I need you to deliver a scroll to the Mizukage, Crow, be backup, stay out of sight”

Sasuke in the Hawk mask nods

Minato smiles even as he grits his teeth.

He was happy Naruto had such a good friend.

But god, would it kill them to just come out of the fucking closet already.

He already knewHe already knew they were dating or doing something at least somewhat adjacent. Considering the excess of bodily fluids in his Son's sheets.

Minato sighs.

“Ugh, Well, it's time to fight the worst, most powerful, strongest enemy of them all.”

PAPERWORK!

Chapter Text

“Naruto, are you paying attention!” Sasuke frowns

“I've been explaining this to you for 20 minutes now”

Naruto sheepishly scratches his head

“I mean, do I have to learn to cook, cup ramen is perfectly fine?”

Sasuke Growls “no it is NOT ok. Eat healthy Naruto, without Kurama you might still be a freak of nature… but not quite so much anymore”

Naruto sighs but nods nonetheless.

“So, Yakiniku huh?”

Sasuke nods and pulls out a piece of paper.

Naruto looks it over.

“Dude, is this in the Fuin script?”

Sasuke nods and Naruto beams a bright smile 

Sasuke already knew if they write in in Fuinjutsu script he would receive a better reception

Naruto while Sasuke was lost in his thoughts already grabbed ingredients.

‘Well, that's about what I expected’

Sasuke smiles and starts to cook for his husband, they eat a…. Passable meal 

*cooking is JUST not in Naruto's blood it seems*

Chapter Text

“EVERYBODY OUT…. NOW!”

The foolish Squires scamper out of the room.

Naruto stays by his King's side. As he always has and always will.

Naruto was adopted into the family years ago, his parents, good friends of the Uchiha Patriarchy had perished in a bandit attack, Naruto was only 7.

 He Vowed to kill the bandits, to make them pay. But when the time came, he couldn't go through with it.

The bandits had wives and children and he couldn't kill them. He wanted them dead, but he couldn't do it.

His best friend, Prince Uchiha Sasuke took the blade from his hands.

And ended their lives. Gaining Naruto's undying loyalty.

And his love.

And Today He stands by his king's side.

He knows what he must do.

“Shall I Sire?”

Sasuke nods.

“blatant or subtle?”

Sasuke reaches into his desk and pulls out a Jagged Jeweled Dagger.

The Ritual Dagger, Used to Sanctify Royal marriages.

And Kill the WORST Of the Worst scum of the country.

Naruto sighs, he knows that in hours. 3 young lives will be ended.

Patriarchy or no, The Uchiha DID NOT STAND for rape.

4 hours later, the three squires are Buried in a nearby field by one of Naruto's servants. 

And so Naruto kneels at his king's feet.

“Raise your head Naruto”

Sasuke smiles.

“This was my Birthright, and now. I give it to you”

Sasuke pulls a Gunbai off the wall and hands it to his Most loyal knight, the One he LOVES but knows he can't have.

And so life moves On

Chapter Text

Sasuke bites the pillow.

“N-naruto.” Sasuke groans as Naruto peppers him with kisses

“Stay still for me”

Sasuke gets a sour look on his face but nonetheless smiles for the camera

“You're doing so good sweetie” 

Sasuke gives a large over  exaggerated moan but that's what the Audience surely wants to hear on whatever porn site They watch this on.

Sasuke smiles as Naruto's teeth dig into his shoulders.

Now This is more like it.

Finally Naruto's hand reaches Around his front and starts to stroke him to completion, hand covered in saliva.

Naruto smiles and starts to kiss Sasuke's neck and discreetly whisper 

“Thanks for putting Up with this dear. I know your not too into people watching but I really couldn't say no to 90,000 Ryo”

Sasuke nods even as he groans and cums all over the bed.

Shikamaru BEHIND the camera presses the stop record button.

“You did really do good sweetheart”

Chapter Text

“Hey… Sasuke”

Naruto hands Sasuke his headband from behind his desk.

“Do you think we're like this? In every universe, do things always go this well?”

Sasuke sighs..

“I'd like to think so”

And the world is Grey, Sasuke's arm is gone, the stone Shrapnel in his stomach from his fight with Naruto is bad, the Rasengan he dodged slammed into the ground, it broke apart, the Stone, the force of the rotation, sending shrapnel everywhere.

Sakura makes it To the scene just in time To save Naruto, But not Sasuke.

And so the cycle of hatred continues

And so the World is Gold painted with Soft Orange hues.

Sasuke smiles in his dark blue turtleneck on the Blanket, on a hill, overlooking a field of wheat with his husband, Naruto, Sasuke's Glass Uchiha earing beautifully catching the light like a stained glass window.

The Subaru 200 feet behind at the base if the hill.

“Hey, Naruto” Sasuke's voice is Quiet Calm and collected, but there's an inkling of hope and almost desperation hidden underneath.

“Do you think-”

Sasuke cuts himself off

“Ehhh, What is it Sasuke!”

Sasuke simply looks away.

“Hnn, it's nothing”

Naruto in his Dark orange sweater, he smiles so bright.

And so the world is Once again The Soft Hues of the Office.

Sasuke smiles

“No, I don't Hope so, I Know things are good in every universe”

How little he knows.

But at the end of the day, Naruto's positivity is positively infectious.

Chapter Text

“Sasuke, Naruto…. You are My children”

Naruto scratches his head.

“I'M SORRY WHAT SUPER GRAMPS? Did Ma really Cheat on Pops?”

The sage of six paths looks at Naruto as if he were the dumbest thing ever.

Sometimes Sasuke feels the same about him.

The Sage continues.

“Sorry, I mean to say you are the Reincarnations of my children. Indra and Ashura. The reincarnations before you were Madara and HASHIRAMA”

Sasuke nods and Naruto just groans.

“So what is it you brought us here for last I checked. I just got killed, and SO DID Jerk-face over here”

The sage gets his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and gives a sly smile.

Sasuke feels himself BURN with power.

“As reincarnations of my children, you are compatible with my power. You may borrow some. Or Rather. You can keep it. I don't exactly need it, and I'm just going to gain it back anyway. I have an eternity to draw in nature energy”

Naruto SHOUTS “AWW SWEET,  I'm gonna KICK Madara's ass Ya'Know!”

Sasuke can't help but smile, Yin and Yang.

The collected and the energetic, the quiet and the boisterous.

2 sides of the same coin reunited once again working together, hopefully for good this time.

Chapter Text

Minato enter the office as he always does.

He's happy, very happy… his Son and his Son's “FRIEND” finally retired from ANBU for the Normal Jonin corp.

“Ah, Sasuke-San, Naruto. Mission for you.”

Naruto grins and it makes Minato Smile.

‘He hasn't smiled in ages, he well and Truly wasn't fit for the Shadows’

“here”

Sasuke nods as Minato hands over the scroll.

“We have to go Teach Sand-Nin Propper Taijutsu? You don't expect me to teach them th-”

Minato Cuts him off

“No, i just want you to teach the Konoha basic, give them something modular, to work off of. Thier Taijutsu Works, but it's also very predictable and set in its place. It flows, but it's a predictable flow. It's not easily modified.”

Sasuke nods

“And you Son, Teach them the Shadow Clone”

Naruto frowns

“Are…. You unsealing it from the scroll”

Minato nods.

“Chakra levels have steadily been increasing over the years. With every generation, the levels get higher and higher bar a few exceptions, such as the Sanin, but the average has increased dramatically enough so that we believe it's safe for even Most Chunin now”

‘Well, it's safe, doesn't mean they have the talent to learn it’

Minato chuckles to himself as Naruto's hand slips into Sasuke's.

Naruto looks at Sasuke with a small smile and Minato Grins Like. Smug cat

He makes a One handed seal and a Camara Appears in his hands, a flash of light capturing the moment Forever.

“Man, i can't believe how ingenious this new technology is, it develops photos? Almost instantly it just shoots them right into your hand we don't even have to take them to dark rooms anymore. How FABULOUS” MINATO starts to talk to himself as Naruto and Sasuke exit the room.

“Naruto, are you sure your dad is o-”

Naruto sighs 

“He… hasn't been normal since…. Ma died. I was only five you know, she survived the Extraction, anybody else would have died, but it still shortened her life's span significantly, even tsunami couldn't save her”

Sasuke nods

“I barely remember her, but I remember enough”

Sasuke smiles and grips Sasuke's hand.

“Welp, Thank god your dad let me learn this, He's only tought 5 people. And I'm one of them, it makes me so happy that Yondaime-Sama tought me”

Naruto chuckles.

“You got this Crimson flash! Lead the way to the sand”

Sasuke smiles and Grips my shoulder and with a disorienting lurch.

Naruto falls face first in the sand

“You… are NOT good at this yet”

Sasuke frowns

“I learned these 3 weeks ago. Give me a break.” 

And so, the “Friends” depart to the Sunagakure tower, ready to teach.

Chapter Text

The snow Falls, blanketing the hokage monument, all 4 heads are covered in the substance, Shining as the sun makes the Snow blindingly shiver.

“Ah, Sasuke, you are LITERALLY A HEATER andni love it”

Naruto snuggles closer, it seems foolish to most, having a picnic in the winter, and for most people it would be. But for Sasuke who has some of the most potential and talent out of anybody in his clan's history. And Chakra to match the Best of the best.

Even without meaning to, he's practically a heater.

Naruto is….. interesting Sasuke thinks, the wind swirls around him. There's always a light breeze. It makes the Dandelions float on the wind, so beautifully, sometimes, when he's angry he almost glows, the Chakra on his skin So beautifully tinged green and Swirling.

And so the summer and the spring stand together,  sitting on a blanket fighting off the winter, enjoying the scenery while it lasts

Before finally, their times roll around once more.

Chapter Text

“SASUKE, get over here, we have to go. Leaf nin are showing up”

Sasuke sighs and Grabs Naruto by the should, with a flash of purple and a lurching sensation the Air temp and surroundings, changing immediately.

Uzushio, The homeland of the Uzumaki.

“God I hate it, I can't go back, can't Force myself to go back, but don't want to hurt anyone still there, I just want freedom”

Sasuke grips Naruto's shoulder.

“That's okay, anything you want is ok, You saved me, from the darkness, will help you achieve your Goals, always”

Naruto grins and dopey grin.

“Thanks Sasuke”

Naruto presses a kiss to Sasuke's neck, with a small flourish Sasuke stomps On the ground, with a single hand seal, four mud walls raise from the ground.

“Almost done”

With a wave of his hand and a good pat, the walls expand into a dome at the top

“And, you handle the windows and Furniture yeah?”

Naruto grins

“You got it Sasuke”

And so they build a small shelter for the night.

And by 9, in the morning tomorrow, all evidence of it is gone. And SO are they. 

Back on the move, for how long, nobody knows.

Chapter Text

“Sasuke, let's get outta here yeah?”

Naruto stands up and cheerfully pays the bill.

“Naruto…. Do you want to take a detour?”

Naruto thinks about that but Doesn't think for long.

He seems confused.

“Ok, sounds good but…. WHERE?”

Sasuke glances to the alleyway, it's barely a glance, fast enough nobody else could see it, not that they were looking at him.

No, they were Looking at Naruto, the Hero of the Leaf, Shoo-in for 7th Hokage.

Sasuke grabs Naruto by the collar and Opens a Portal to The Uchiha district, its Swirling purple fades away.

Quickly Naruto is dragged into the alleyway.

Naruto doesn't fight it, all his life he's been fighting for recognition for freedom. For strength, love for happiness. For peace, he's always been fighting.

This is solace

He simply lets whatever happens happen to him, because losing control, it's nice sometimes.

And so when the hand slips into his pants he simply stifles his groans. 

“Lean against the wall”

Naruto nods, he does as he's told. It's nice. Mindless, it feels good.

Slowly his pants drop to the floor, Sasuke pops a bottle of lube out of a storage seal on his scarf.

Naruto tries to stay reactionless, but he can't help but raise a brow.

Sasuke sighs and smacks Naruto's ass, Naruto hisses.

“Oi what was that for You asshole I gi-”

Naruto clenches his teeth as he feels a calloused finger slide into his ass, covered in cold Lube.

1 and 2 and 3.

All the while Sasuke Slowly jerks him to completion, Naruto slumps against Sasuke's chest as he Releases his Load all over the brick wall.

“Good, get dressed and go home. We can spare tomorrow”

Naruto sighs and Sleepily murmurs

“Yeah, sure…. SUNA desserts?”

Sasuke nods even as he shoves Naruto into a portal. Naruto falls face first into his own bed, and with a woosh, the Purple Light of the Rinnegan fades.

They're friends, just friends, very good friends.

Chapter Text

The fog, it creeps, Naruto stands in it, Lives in it.

This fog is REAL but… Normally it's a fog around his mind and heart.

As the fog clears and the sun shines through the clouds, Naruto smiles and flips off the Hokage Monument.

“It's doesn't feel real yet”

Kakashi leaps from tree to tree, appearing in the clearing nearby, rushing through a field of Bamboo

“Oyaa, Naruto, You got that copy right, the One he was working on before he?”

……. Naruto sighs

“YuriYuri daze,” Naruto asks.

Kakashi nods.

Sakura simply looks on from a distance in disgust practicing Kata on the lake, her steps and grounded form cause small waves in the lake to splash against the surface

In the Corner of the field, Sasuke stands at the base of a tree, Mangekyou active.

The words he whispers are barely more than a murmur. In the wind, but everybody can hear them. Everybody in the field anyway.

“God, how did he do this”

Sakura Blossoms flash black before disappearing in fractions of seconds, not even dust remaining, blood steadily drips onto the ground.

Naruto smiles and makes some clones, and runs off to grab The Toad Sage's manuscript.

The rest hop onto the lake sparing with Sakura, laughing even as they get punched through and tossed into each other kicking up a huge fuss on the Lake.

“Sweetest BLOSSOM, how are you!”

Lee appears.

Even Kakashi is mystified.

“I Sensed The Great youth of sparring between the strong! I knew the Pink Petal was putting on a SHOW I had to watch!” Lee shouts

Sasuke's lips quirk up a Bit as a Chidori Pops to light in his hand, the chirping birds

He Rushes at Lee and Lee, to his credit, just barely Dodges.

Over in the Corner is Orochimaru in his Plain blue Yukata simply watching Skeezy and Slimy, taking in EVERY bit of knowledge he can.

Sasuke frowns but continues to spar 

After Almost an Hour.. Lee bows out, bleeding and Bruised.

And So Naruto hops right in.

Within a flash Naruto Activates KCM2

Naruto and Sasuke disappear. 

Leaving the Clearing in a DAZE.

Chapter Text

Naruto, Sasuke fought with him, he did, but he did it because the knew the boy he loved could be better 

*not that anyone KNEW that Sasuke loved him, but that wasn't relevant at all*

He didn't have to look from afar, he got the upclose and personal treatment as a teamate, and the closer he got to what he wanted them more that it really FUCKING HURT to not have it

So he watched, and talked *occasionally*

Finally it happened, Naruto said some words that would push him to his brink 

“Ya know Sasuke, you're SUPER good at cooking, you'd make a nice Wife, ehhh, Husband I guess.”

Sasuke blushed.

And that's what sealed the deal, and set forth a tale of obsession, like no other, a tale of murder, a vengeance of love, of passion ,of pain, and most importantly, of death.

It was a day, many years ago, Sasuke left, and it hurts.

Naruto admits his loss hurts, he never thought that he and Sasuke could become friends.

Back at the beginning when things were simple.

And now they lay in the Valley of the end, Arms blown off.

And Sasuke admitted.

HeN lost, Prideful and arrogant and wonderful, full of emotions, more than any other man. NARUTO HAD  ever met.

He LOST

“and now, after so long, I have you back…. I've missed you” Naruto murmurs.

Sasuke chuckles and is a bit delirious, blood loss It not a kind mistress.

Yet he sits up anyway, leaning on Naruto to pull himself to his feet.

“Sorry Naruto, don't mind me”

Sasuke chuckles bitterly and sets his hand on Naruto's shoulder.

And Naruto feels  tired, oh so tired.

AND he's out like a light.

“Oh that's so much better”

Sasuke smiles and uses his Rinnegan, summoning the king of hell.

He steps into it with a frown and comes out panting, but miraculously fully healed.

Sakura looks on in  annoyance and walks up to him.

And slaps him so hard he flies into the wall of the valley.

She gives a Little “HMPF”

And then returns to healing Naruto.

Sasuke groans as he pulls himself out of the crater in the wall.

With a BROKEN JAW.

And so, with that, Naruto and Sasuke are Reunited at last.

The moon beams down onto Konoha from Above.

Sasuke and Naruto sit alone on the rooftop

“The moon is lovely tonight y'know, I mean, it's always lovely, but especially tonight. When it's full. I wish we could do this more often”

Sasuke nods, the only sound coming from him is the wind. Ruffling his clothes.

‘It's been awhile’ Sasuke thinks to himself

His right eye Bleeds from a cool onyx to a Startling red.

Startling for most anyway

For Naruto it was a Welcome sight.

That red eye never looked at him with malice or hatred or disgust, only acceptance and love and longing.

Even when they fought, he never truly wanted Naruto dead.

And so they Lay on the roof, And kiss under the light of the Falling moon.

“You can stay for a bit, you know, you don't have to leave just yet” Naruto sadly smiles.

He knows that's not true.He knows that… that Sasuke has to go. The fact that he spent 3 consecutive days in the village is already insane.

Nonetheless, he clings onto his husband's arm, tight never to let go.

“Eugh, Naruto…… I.”

Suddenly all that's left is Naruto, holding a pillow.

“God damn it. What he does is important. I know it's important I know he had to leave, but. For once I want to be selfish, I want us to be selfish. I want the freedom to enjoy life” Naruto slams his head into the mattress, muffling his own voice.

He stays like that for a while. A long while, and then suddenly something starts to blare. His alarm on his nightstand is going off once again. It's time for work.

The most vile work of them all, paperwork.

Chapter Text

Naruto was  FUMING, HE HAD TRIED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO GET BETTER, AND HE HAD. His skills were improved, and he was going to be hokage.

So Why couldn't Sakura-chan see that he was just Better than Sasuke, that he had greater ambitions and would reach greater heights.

What was so special about him? Anyway, his looks.

Naruto scowled a bit as he shook away the thoughts.

‘No Naruto, it's okay to think boys are pretty, but it's not okay to think that boy is pretty. He's a little punk.’

Naruto climbs up on the desk

“What's the big deal with you”

The boy sitting in on Sasuke leans back elbowing Naruto in THE back.

Sending him Careening forward into Sasuke's chapped lips.

“Mhmmmmh” 

Naruto Hops of the desk and wipes his tongue and mouth on his sleeve

“Gross! Ugh”

Suddenly the girls around the classroom shoot him a death glare

‘Oh shit.’

Naruto groans, he can feel the pain before the first fist, even hits.

On that day it rained…

It was cold and gray, in other words. Even Naruto felt a bit down

These days always made him reminisce on his younger years.

He wasn't alone, he knows that now but back then, everything felt so overwhelming.

Sasuke enters the Window of the Hokage office, and Naruto waves the Anbu out.

Within the SECOND Sasuke quickly Circulates fire Chakra to turn the water dripping off of him to steam.

His arm Wraps around Naruto's shoulder, and so, he whispers, words that no one but them alone can hear.

Naruto shudders.

“Gone? How?”

Sasuke shrugs.

“Figure I should go find them and give them to Sarada?”

Naruto winces.

“She hasn't-”

Sasuke nods 

“No Mangekyou”

Naruto breathes a sigh of relief.

Then he smiles a shaky smile.

“Yeah, you should probably go find those so she has a replacement later.” Sasuke presses a Kiss to Naruto's cheek and leaps out the windows, as Naruto shuts the door.

Only to be left alone in the office with the pitter patter of rain on the glass.

He feels Alone.

Naruto flares his Chakra and all The Anbu re-enter the office.

That's better.

Naruto smiles as Sasuke Enters the room in a maid dress, he can already feel his chest start to heave as laughter consumes his very being.

“S-Sasuke, did you really Have to make that bet with Tou-san?”

Sasuke nods

“I couldn't turn Yondaime-Sama down, a bet's a bet. Okay, I really thought that you'd be able to learn Majestic Flame Destroyer in a week. Couldn't you have abused the Clone thing”

Naruto sighs.

“If you had told me about the bet then I would have but I did not know so I took it in a relaxed manner.”

Naruto sighs 

“I thought that you just wanted to teach me something from your clan. Just like I taught you… taught you the Rasengan”

Sasuke groans and tugs on his choker.

Naruto gulps

“Now, I have to go serve Yondaime-Sama tea, Then you can tear it off. All right” Sasuke groans in annoyance

Naruto nods and waits with Bated breath, he doesn't have to wait long.

Only minutes later Sasuke returns in a swirl of leaves, tugging at the maid dress, seemingly annoyed to the extreme.

“Sasuke”

Naruto is breathless, Sasuke's dress is being tugged at, it hangs off his body so beautifully.

Naruto smiles as his fingers tug at Sasuke's hair, calming him.

Naruto smiles as his Hands slowly undo the lace.

Everything seems to be goi-

“How do you know how to undo a lace dress NARUTO?”

Naruto pauses, sweat beads down his brow.

“ahhhh, Hinata”

Sasuke rips off his dress and pushes Naruto on to the bed. Immediately, his teeth dig into Naruto's neck. 

“Fuck it, I'm going to show you im SO much better then that should stuck up her ass Hyuga slut”

Sasuke's hand quickly unbuttons Naruto's pants.

He doesn't wait a second, Naruto is a sweetheart

“I consent”

Sasuke smiles

To some that little hop in would be uncomfortable or unattractive, but to him, it was charming Oh, so charming.

And so the clothes were gone

Squeezes of Affirmation, little gestures affectionate, warm, rather than passionate energy. All-consuming urges that most would assume a relationship like theirs would be a far cry from the common thought.

Gentle kisses, fleeting touches.

Together, they were one.
