Chapter 4
Gaara looks to Naruto as their orders are started on at the ramen shop. “So did you ask Iruka about the courting?” He had called ahead of time to say he needed advice.
Naruto nods. “Yeah.” He’d had to ask because he never paid attention to it since he hoped he’d never have to be mated. “So Iruka says omegas have the easiest job during courting. We just be ourselves and always be honest about the gifts. When we’re asked to tell more about ourselves, we need to answer to give the wolf a real chance.” He sighs. “He really focused on the fact that we agreed to the courting so we can’t half-ass it either. Otherwise the courting process is pointless.”
The raccoon nods and really gives it some thought. “Guess that makes sense.” He looks at the blond as the food is brought. Definitely better service than the first time he was here. “Thank you for not making a big deal out of this.” He knows the blond had really wanted to celebrate or something annoying like that.
Naruto shrugs. “Yeah, well even I know when to pull it back a bit.” He pauses though. “If Kiba asks me about you, is it okay if I answer?”
Gaara again gives it thought. “…I trust you to not say too much…”
The fox grins wide, knowing just how much that meant. “Don’t worry. I won’t make it too easy on him.” He laughs and then they begin to eat. “Oh, and if Sasuke asks then I’m okay with it.” That gets a grunt that makes him laugh again.
-O-
“Hope Sasuke actually listens this time, hm.” Deidara goes down the chip aisle and stands in front of the bags, trying to decide which one he wants. When he hears a cart he turns and his fox ears perk up. “Sasori?”
The redhead just entered the aisle. He looks up and calmly replies, “Deidara.” If he notices Deidara’s less than preferable fashion sense at the moment, he doesn’t mention it. Like the smart ginger he is.
Dei grins and goes over to him. “I didn’t know you were here.” He quickly gives the other a hug before he can refuse. That’s the best way to hug a grumpy raccoon without getting punched.
Sasori allows the hug before he raises a brow. “Of course you didn’t. I didn’t tell you.”
Deidara pouts at that. “Well that’s rude, un. How long have you been back?” It can’t have been for long if this is the first time running into him. Deidara is pretty social, though less since the pregnancy. Itachi can sometimes worry way too much after all.
“We moved here three days before the mating festival. The local college hired me to teach art.” Sasori pulls down a bag of tortilla chips and puts it in his cart.
He grins. “Oh I’m so proud! I knew you could do it, yeah!” In their old town, they had gone to college together. Konoha is stuck in the old ways while other places allow omegas to attend college. To hear they hired an omega here is a huge step in the right direction. “So you’re here for good, hm?”
Sasori nods. “Yes. My nephews and niece are with me too.” His eyes go to the rounded belly. “I see you are living your dream with Itachi.” He had been Dei’s Best Omega at the wedding and he had enjoyed annoying Itachi the entire time. “I’m sure he isn’t too thrilled with your clothes right now.” Ah, there it is. The rude comment that makes Dei want to slap him.
But Deidara chooses to ignore the urge. “Itachi got over himself when I explained I wasn’t going to change just to get chips, un. As for my dream, we’re having twins.” He has always wanted to have kids with a perfect alpha, but he isn’t about to just roll over and take it. Anyone that knows Deidara knows that just isn’t how the feisty blond operates.
Suddenly Kiba’s description of his desired omega springs to mind. “Anyway, Itachi’s brother Sasuke. You remember him, yeah?” Sasori nods. “He and his friend are going to start courting. And Kiba’s description of his omega sounds like you, un. Is it one of your nephews?”
Lips twitch up into a smirk after some thought. “That must be the alpha that pissed Gaara off. I told him to attack the wolf.”
Dei rolls his eyes. “Of course you did. Well whatever you suggested, it got Kiba’s attention.” He decides on a bag of spicy Doritos. “I was having cravings and was about to hit Itachi if he stopped me from getting them, un.”
Sasori definitely enjoys Deidara’s subtle ways of controlling the wolf. Best part is Itachi has no idea it is happening. “So I suppose the pregnancy is going well?”
Deidara nods. “Yup. Getting pampered and whatever I want. It’s awesome, yeah.” Hey, it’s not like he isn’t going to enjoy all the extra attention. Itachi is never neglectful and always wants to make sure his fox is comfy. But extra stuff is always appreciated after all. “And Itachi is doing good too. Not like you care, un.”
“Nope.” A smirk joins it again, then it turns to a very rare soft smile. “Though, despite my hatred for wolves I’m glad you’re happy.” He gets hugged again at that and groans. He knew he was going to regret complimenting the emotional blond. “Deidara. Back off.”
He quickly moves back but smiles with slightly watery eyes. “Sorry. Easily excited lately.” He wipes at his eyes. “Anyway, I want you to come over and see Itachi. Now that you’re here to stay I really want for you two to get along, hm.” He wants to hang out with Sasori without them always fighting.
Sasori shrugs. “It’ll be fun to mess with Itachi.”
Deidara pouts and puts his hands on his hips. “Dammit Saso. Don’t make problems in MY home!”
Sasori merely smirks. “No.” He then turns and starts walking away. But he says over his shoulder, “I’ll come over later.”
Deidara rolls his eyes but with a smile. This is awesome! Now he has his best friend here too. Though he is going to really have to work at getting his mate and his friend to get along. But it will be worth it in the end. Time to pay for this so he can dig in and head home.
-o-
Back in Sasuke’s room, two wolves are trying to plan how to start their courting. Itachi had explained everything, including examples from when he courted Deidara. It was comforting to hear that even Itachi had made mistakes. He hadn’t realized until then that he was already comparing him and Naruto to Itachi and Deidara. He quickly shakes his head. He can’t think like that.
Kiba glances over. “What are you doing? Come up with any ideas?”
Sasuke sighs and scratches behind a furry ear. “Was just thinking some things that don’t need to be thought.” He sits up fully on the bed. “Tell me about Naruto.” When he senses hesitation he has to add in, “I need at least a starting a point. I’m not asking for everything. Just something.”
Kiba can’t help but give in. He wants his friend to have every chance. “Okay. Well…let me think what he wouldn’t mind me saying…” He can’t help noticing the way Sasuke’s ears perk and he becomes more alert. “Well…his favorite animal is a fox.”
Sasuke raises a brow. “Seriously? Fox?”
The other wolf nods. “Yeah. And don’t react like that. He’s heard it all and that’s a perfect way to get rejected.”
Sasuke nods, calming his features. “I can understand that. No one wants to be judged.”
Kiba smiles. “You two are going to be perfect for each other. He’s just gotta realize that.”
“Thanks man.” Okay. Now how to use this information. “…I saw an ad for a new fox exhibit at the zoo. I think it involves kits.” He looks to Kiba. “Can you ask him if he’ll go there with me in two days?”
Kiba whines. “Seriously? I gotta be messenger pup?” He yelps when he gets smacked. “Fine dude. Chill. Yeah I’ll ask him on my way home.”
Sasuke glares. “Then how am I supposed to get the reply?”
The other wolf shrugs. “I’ll tell Naruto to tell you himself. I’m not going to be messenger pup for both of you.” He pauses. “Though he may not want to be alone with you. I have a feeling Gaara wouldn’t enjoy that though so no double date.”
Even though Sasuke wants to argue he has to agree it will be better to have a chaperone. “I’ll ask Deidara and Itachi if they’ll come with us. Deidara also loves foxes. Well foxes and birds.” He doesn’t know what kind of birds because he never pays attention when the artist goes on about them.
“I’ll tell him that then. I highly doubt Deidara will let Itachi refuse.” That makes both of them smirk. Everyone but Itachi sees just how much control Deidara really has. And everyone agrees that it’s beautiful. Though it is dangerous too because if you piss off Deidara then you’re dealing with both of them. And you never know if Deidara has something flammable on him.
When Itachi takes over as the Family Alpha, all their safety will be ensured. Both Itachi and Deidara are strong individually, Deidara stronger than a usual omega, and when you put them together it’s an unstoppable force.
Sasuke nods. “Thanks.” His tail flicks. “You know, Naruto would be the best source of information on Gaara. They are best friends after all.”
Kiba hums in thought. “Well that’s true.”
A few minutes later the front door is heard. Deidara’s home.
The blond smiles as he walks through the house to their set of rooms, munching softly on the spicey chips. Ah. The perfect thing. When he passes Sasuke’s room he’s called upon. So he pauses and pokes his head in. “Did you listen to Itachi, un?”
Sasuke nods. “Yes. I don’t want to mess this up. And so I’m wondering if you and Itachi can do a kind of…. well…double date in two days with me and Naruto?” At the raised brow he continues. “I want to take Naruto to the zoo for a baby fox exhibit but it’ll probably be better if we’re not alone.” He shrugs. “So I figured you’d want to see it too.”
Deidara grins wide. “Oh yes! I would love to do that with you, hn. I’ll inform Itachi of it.” Not ask permission. Inform him. He taps his chin in thought. “But why two days? Why wait?” When Sasuke shrugs, Deidara decides to take action. “Very well. I’ll tell Itachi we’re going to the zoo tomorrow.”
The younger Uchiha blinks. “Uh well-“
But with a wink the blond happily continues on his way. He goes into his rooms and stares into the almost empty bag. Well that’s a sad sight. But the craving is almost gone so it was worth it. “Itachi, my love. Tomorrow we’re going on a double date with your brother and his fox to the zoo. Also we’re having a guest later today, un.”
Itachi makes himself known at that point. “I don’t mind chaperoning Sasuke and Naruto. But who is the guest?” He seems suspicious. With good reason. You never know with Deidara.
Dei raises a brow. “It’s an old friend of mine who I want you to get along with, hn. He just moved into town and I want to hang out with him more.” He crosses his arms as well.
Itachi frowns at that. It was rather vague. “Give me a name.” Itachi is not a fan of being vague. He prefers having the needed information right away.
Deidara is about to continue arguing but he senses something going on. Itachi is pulling alpha because he’s worried about who is around Deidara and their unborn twins. “It’s Sasori.” He notices the expression that name caused and quickly says, “Now stop that, yeah. I have to deal with your friends so now you will deal with mine.”
Itachi sighs but gives him a soft kiss. “I will attempt to behave.”
Deidara is not a fan of that answer but knows it’s the best he is going to get. His ears perk as he hears Sasuke’s door. “Seems Kiba is leaving. I hope you didn’t terrorize him too much, un.” He gets an amused look at that which says everything he needs to know. Poor pup.
-x-
Naruto and Gaara are at the blonde’s house, trying to get used to the fact that they are officially being courted by wolves.
Naruto tosses the stress ball into the air from his position in a giant beanbag chair, catching it. “Interesting how both our relationships started out with violence.”
Gaara nods at that. He’s sitting on the bed. “True. Though the interesting part is that we seem to be the ones with control in this.” He knows that his friend is just as happy about that as he is.
“That’s the best part about it! They gotta chase after us.” Nice change of pace in his mind. He tosses the ball to the raccoon, watching the other catch it on instinct. “You think they’ll succeed by our heats?” They have at most, two weeks before their first heats hit. Going through it alone would suck but Naruto isn’t going to settle if Uchiha can’t court him properly. And he’s sure Gaara feels the same way about Kiba.
Gaara shrugs. “Hard to say. I believe they will try though.” The succeeding part is still a mystery.
Iruka then calls up. “Naruto. Kiba is here. He says he just wants to talk with you about something. Come on down.”
“Kay!” He looks to Gaara. “Wanna come down?”
Gaara shakes his head. “No. He wants to talk with you.” He frowns. “I might get angry and hit him again.”
That makes Naruto roll his eyes. “You guys have a weird way of flirting.” He quickly leaves the room and goes down. “Hey man, what’s up?” He can pick up hints of Sasuke on him. “Were you with Sasuke?”
Kiba nods. “Yeah. He wants to take you to the zoo tomorrow to see some baby foxes. His brother and his brother’s mate will join you. If you agree that is.” He takes a deep breath. “Coon-chan’s here, hm?” His nose is healed by now. “Tell him I said hey.”
Naruto has a small smile, blushing softly. “He wants to take me to see baby foxes?” At the nod he full-on grins. “That sounds awesome.”
Kiba smiles in return. “Cool. Oh, I might need some hints about Gaara. I need a place to start after all.” He has no doubt that Gaara already told Naruto everything.
Naruto chuckles. “Thought so. Don’t worry, I’ll do my part of helping.” He blinks as Kiba walks away. “Are you going to tell him I accept?”
“Nope. I was forced to be his messenger pup but I’m not being it for both of you. See ya man. Tell him yourself.” The wolf then leaves.
The blond goes back up to his room to see Gaara. “Sasuke wants to take me on a date. To the zoo. He said his brother and his brother’s mate will be with us.”
Gaara raises a brow. “And you want to go?”
“Well yeah. If for no other reason than to see the baby foxes.” Naruto looks out the window and chews his lip in thought. “Should I…should I go over and tell him I accept?” He can’t decide if that’s a good idea or not.
Gaara tilts his head, ear twitching. “Uchiha right?” When Naruto nods he stands up. “The husband of one of the Uchiha’s is a longtime friend of Sasori. I’m sure they won’t mind us stopping by.”
-o-
The doorbell rings through the large Uchiha home. Deidara quickly answers the door, knowing it is Sasori. “Saso!” He gives the redhead a quick hug before stepping back. “Come inside.”
Sasori nods and comes in, his eyes moving slowly and taking everything in. “Rather large place.”
Deidara shrugs. “It’s the Uchiha home. What’d you expect?” He smiles and relaxes against Itachi when he comes up next to him.
Sasori calmly looks at Itachi. “Itachi.”
“Sasori.”
His lips lift into a smirk. “Are you compensating for something with this house?”
Itachi twitches. His promise to try to behave is the only thing that keeps him in control. He can do this. Oh how he hopes he can do this without upsetting his fox.
Deidara pouts. “Come on. I told you not to start problems in my home.”
Sasori gets a somewhat sadistic glint in his eyes at that. “And I told you no.”
Shortly after the three get comfortable in the main living area there is a knock on the door. Deidara glances to his mate. “Can you go get it, un?” He’s in the middle of a conversation with Sasori about art.
Itachi sighs and agrees, answering door. He isn’t really contributing to the conversation anyway. When he sees Naruto he blinks at the blond before his eyes go to the wristbands and he makes the connection. “You must be Naruto. Come in.” He steps to the side.
Naruto nods and comes into the large house, a bit nervous but he feels safe because Gaara is right behind him.
“I’m Itachi, Sasuke’s brother.” The elder Uchiha leads Naruto to the room where Dei and Saso are. “This is my mate Deidara.”
Deidara looks over and smiles, ears perking. “Oh hi Naruto! How nice to see you visiting us, un.” He then looks to Gaara. “And you must be Gaara, hm? It’s a pleasure to meet you. Good luck with your wolf, yeah.”
Gaara takes a few seconds to decide how to take that, but he senses no ill will behind it. “Thank you.”
Naruto finds himself smiling, feeling better with the other omegas here. “Hi Sasori. I dunno if you remember me.”
Sasori nods. “I remember.” The blond is rather difficult to forget after all even after only a few times seeing him.
That has Naruto giggling a bit at a previous memory. He then turns to Deidara. “I’m wondering if Sasuke is in? I need to talk to him about something.”
Deidara smirks at that, eyes mischievous but doesn’t comment. “Yes. His room is upstairs, hn. I’m sure you’ll follow his scent.” He then shoos them upstairs. He’s obviously figured out that it’s about the proposed date for the next day.
Naruto indeed follows the scent to Sasuke’s door, the wolf opening the door before he can knock. “Naruto.” Ears are perked so he must know why he’s there.
“Kiba told me. And my answer is yes. I’d like to see baby foxes with you.” He’s trying to stand tall and have all the courage he can. If he is going to give this courting a try then he isn’t going to be a wimp about it.
Sasuke gives a smile that makes Naruto’s heart flutter a little. “Thank you.”
Naruto blushes and looks away, playing with the tip of an ear. “No problem. Uh…so yeah. Bye.” He quickly retreats back downstairs to avoid blushing even more, hearing Gaara following him.
Deidara smiles. “I’ll see you tomorrow Naruto.”
The younger fox nods and waves as he left the house. “See ya!”
Gaara looks to Sasori. “Will you be home soon?”
The other redhead thinks about it. “A few hours.” He is actually enjoying spending time with Deidara.
Gaara nods and then leaves with Naruto.
-o-
After Naruto walks Gaara home he goes home himself. Once he comes inside he calls out, “I’m home!”
Iruka comes out of kitchen. “Where did you run off to?” He hadn’t been told where he was going.
Naruto gives a guilty look and takes off his shoes. “Well when Kiba came over he told me something. And uh…” He blushes before clearing his throat. “I have a date with Sasuke tomorrow. He wants to take me to see baby foxes at the zoo.” When Iruka raises his brow he continues. “His brother and his brother’s mate are coming with us. So we won’t be alone.” He figures that’s what Iruka is worried about.
The elder fox smiles, so happy that Naruto has changed his opinion of mating. “Oh that’s wonderful. Kakashi! Naruto has a date!”
Naruto groans and face palms. He just hopes that Iruka doesn’t make too much of a fuss out of this.
Kakashi comes out of the living room. “Oh? Well when he comes to get you we’ll want to meet him. Now that the courting is officially starting.” It is obvious that it’s not a request. This is an important part. After all, if your parents don’t approve then it’s really hard to continue.
The blond nods. “Yeah, that makes sense.” He feels a spike of worry at Sasuke meeting them but he figures that’s normal for parents meeting your partner for the first time.
That night as Naruto lays in bed, he again thinks about how he’s now being courted. He doesn’t know if this will work out but he is going to give it his all. Naruto Uzumaki never does anything half-way. Believe it!
