*~*~*~*
Humming softly under his breath, Naruto moved around his brand new home, smiling softly to himself as he placed the new decorations that he had bought up. He had had the house built, his family house not fit to live in. Apparently someone had gone in and tried to find the family scrolls, but hadn’t found them, not knowing that it took blood and chakra to get to them. But he had known and had found them all before they saved what they could of everything else and pulled the house apart. The burnable items were burnt while everything else was simply destroyed by ANBU, none of them wanting the secrets of the Uzumaki secrets falling into idiots hands.

But now he had a new house that was all his own and it was perfect. There was a dojo attached to the main house but far enough away for him to work on things in peace. The main house was rather on the traditional side, being one story with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. A large kitchen was used often, as was the dining room and eating nook, while the study and living room that sat across from it was open and bright, well loved and cozy.

Finishing with the last of the decorations, his clones dispelling as they finished with the outside, Naruto smiled softly to himself and started a small fire as he noticed that the lights were starting to flicker. “The bad thing about old lines and needing to get new ones laid, the power likes to go out during storms,” he huffed, shaking his head with a smile.

Once the fire had been started, he headed into the basement, finding the various boxes of candles and grabbing them along with matches before heading back up to the main floor as the lights went out. Pausing as his eyes adjusted, he hummed and gazed outside, noticing that the rain that had been threatening to come down for the last hour was going hard. Humming in some amusement, he placed his boxes down onto the counter and started to pull out the candles.

He lit a pillar candle and placed it onto a small handled metal dish, using the light to finish gathering the needed things and putting them onto a tray for easy carrying. Once he had all of the candles he needed, he used one hand to carry the tray and the other to carry the dish with the candle. In the living room, he placed the tapers into some of the holders while placing a few more of the pillars onto some larger plates.

Once he was done, he moved to gather the lanterns that Neji had given him as a housewarming gift after the first time that the power had died during a storm. They used a pillar candle to light up but the glass helped to expand the light enough to actually see while hanging on a free standing, solid stand. He had enough for each room.

After he had put the pillar candles into the stands in each room, he checked on the wood supply and headed back into the bedroom, holding his tray in one hand. Sitting down, he placed the tray down and reached out to grab his current book, warm and content for the moment before jumping in place when the doorbell rang. “Who would be stupid enough to come out this way in this weather?” Naruto muttered, putting his book to the side and standing up from the couch to answer the door.

Opening the door, he blinked at finding Neji standing there before him, shaking off his jacket with a scowl on his face and hair pulled back out of the way with a hair tie. “It had to start raining before I got here?” he grumped, pale eyes flicking to Naruto, shining with amusement.

“And what are you doing here? Get inside, it’s pouring out there,” Naruto huffed, tugging the Hyuga into the house and taking his coat. Opening a side closet, he hung it over a towel on the floor as Neji pulled his shoes off and tucked them away. “Here,” the blond said, offering another towel with a smile.

“Thank you,” Neji hummed, taking the towel and drying off where the rain had gotten him before handing the towel back, taking the house slippers that were held from him.

“So, why are you here?” Naruto asked, leading Neji into the living room and sitting on the hearth, finding the kettle that he kept nearby along with a gallon of water, pouring some of it into the kettle.

“I came to bring you some hot food since I knew that there was a storm coming and a high chance of your power going down. When are you getting new lines?” Neji asked as he pulled two very long scrolls free from his weapons pouch, unsealing the dinner he had bought. The scent of a homemade traditional meal filled the air around them, making Naruto hum in appreciation as he placed the kettle to hang over the fire.

“After Christmas happens,” Naruto stated, standing up and walking over to sit next to Neji as he dished up the food, having unsealed dishes to go with. “Did you make it or did Hinata?” he asked.

“Both of us. We’re having our own problems with the electricity since one tree pulled up a few lines,” Neji admitted, shrugging as he handed over one plate. “So we cooked everything spoilable that we had and she sent me over with a good chunk of it.”

“Hey, if it means I don’t have to cook, I’m all for it,” Naruto chirped, taking the plate and smiling brightly as he snapped the chopsticks in half and digging into the rice. “Are you going to stay here tonight?” he asked, both men looking out the window as lightning flashed across the sky.

“Yes, I do believe that I will do so,” Neji returned, shaking his head with an amused look on his face. Eating a bite of chicken, he tilted his head at the soft whomp of a generator starting. “Got those installed at the least,” he said.

“Yep. Hooked up to the fridge and freezer, but that’s about it. They run partly on gas and partly on the power of the wind and rain. I wasn’t quite sure on the specifics but I know that they should run for quite a while without any problems,” Naruto said, the two settling in, eating and talking, only stopping to make some tea.

As the hours passed, Neji had to admit that in the candlelight, his friends home looked beautiful. The light glistened off of the garlands that were artfully decorated with little bulbs and bows, and highlighted the lights that hung dark until the power came back on. A small, fake tree sat in one corner, presents piled high under it.

Neji knew for a fact that they all had different names on them and all of them had been bought with that specific person in mind.

“Your presents reminded me of something. Hinata is traveling to Suna for Christmas so wanted me to drop off her gifts for you while I was here,” Neji said, pulling out another scroll and unsealing several packages of various sizes. Naruto stared at them as they were neatly piled on the floor to be moved to under the tree.

“Um, wow. She went overboard this year, didn’t she?” he breathed, Neji chuckling and shaking his head, amused at the cuteness of his friend.

“Nah. She rather liked being able to buy all these gifts for you. The rest of her friends are just as spoiled but they got their gifts already,” Neji promised, standing up to move the presents. Putting them down, he found that there was a small pile of presents for himself, making him stare at them before staring at Naruto with a raised eyebrow. “And you were complaining about her gifts? I fear what you will say about mine though it looks as if you don’t have much room to speak.”

“Shut up,” Naruto huffed, blushing softly and shrugging one shoulder with an amused smile. “I just wanted to get you something nice and that just happened to grow into more since I kept finding things,” he continued, shrugging as Neji smiled and pulled another scroll out of one of his weapon pouches, unsealing the presents that he had put there.

“Well, how’s this? We open a present each. Just one,” Neji said, standing up with a slim present in his hand, raising an eyebrow. Naruto stared at the other, blushing once more before nodding his head and smiling.

“Yeah, that sounds nice,” he hummed, putting his plate down and standing. Shifting through the presents to Neji, he found the one that he wanted before nodding his head to the couch. The two sat and handed their presents over, Neji waving him to open his first.

“You first. I want to see what you think of it,” he said when Naruto looked to protest. Huffing, the blond nodded his head and pulled the wrapping paper off to reveal a long, wide package.

Nibbling on his bottom lip, Naruto slowly opened the package only to stare at what his friend had gotten him. “Oh, Neji,” he breathed, picking up the choker. It wasn’t often that he wore necklaces of any kind, between missions and work, but when he did, he prefered chokers for the simple fact that a well fitted one was hard to grab.

The band was a dark blue and had white Uzumaki swirls running along the length of it. Hanging from the band itself was a three pronged kunai, a miniature replica of Minato’s own.

“I had it commissioned just for you since you don’t really have a whole lot to tie you to your family,” Neji explained, taking the necklace after Naruto had inspected every inch of it. Wrapping it around the other’s neck, he clasped it and smiled at how the kunai rested just in the hollow of Naruto’s collarbone. “Perfect.”

“So that’s why you wanted to borrow one of my chokers,” Naruto chuckled, Neji nodding his head, knowing that his secret had gotten out. “It’s perfect, Neji, thank you. Now I’m kind of worried about what you’ll think of my gift,” he said, blushing a bit more when the other male picked up the box.

“Let me just open it before you get nervous,” Neji chuckled, undoing the wrapping paper with a few graceful flicks of his fingers. Finding a small ring box, he stared at it before opening it and staring at the surprise inside. A key sat on a key ring, the ring holding a small swirled charm that he knew Naruto had made, a hobby of the blonds that was beautiful. “A key?”

“To the house,” Naruto admitted, shifting and playing with his necklace. “That is...if…” he started, trailing off when Neji simply tilted his head up and brushed their lips together with a soft smile.

“It’s perfect. I love it. Thank you for the lovely gift,” Neji hummed, Naruto smiling sweetly, eyes half lidded, before he was pulled back into a kiss. They spent the rest of the night before the fire, kissing and talking, just finding their footing with the new turn of their relationship.
