I apologize for how long it's been since updating. I've been suffering from severe anxiety and depression and it has kept me from writing for the last several years.

“Ok so you’ve told us how you met and became friends, you’ve told us how you started…” Naruto trailed off and shuddered. “… sleeping together, and how it turned into a relationship. But you still haven’t explained why you didn’t stay together, especially since it seems like you guys loved each other a lot.”

Fugaku sighed for the eighty-six billionth time that afternoon. “Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to talk about this, Naruto?” He asked forlornly.

The blonde had the decency to look ashamed. “I’m sorry.” He mumbled. “It’s just… they died before I was five so I don’t remember either of them that well. Yeah, I’ve heard stories about dad before, mostly from baa-chan, but this is all new to me.”

A hand on his shoulder had Naruto looking up at the man he now knew was his brother. “At least you knew him as your father.” Itachi said, sending Fugaku a small glare out of the corner of his eye.

Naruto's eyes suddenly widened. “Oh god. I’m so sorry, Itachi. I forgot he was your dad too.” He said before throwing himself on the other man in a tight hug.

Returning the embrace, Itachi said, “I haven’t hugged anyone like this in a long time, not even Sasuke.”

When they let go of each other, Naruto's eyes were shining with happy tears. Both men then returned their attention to a beaming Fugaku. “You can keep going now.” He told the man with a bright smile.

“So, it was right after our first year of college that we found out Minato was pregnant. It was an incredibly difficult concept for us to believe and it wasn’t until he was nearly half way through the pregnancy that it really sank it for us. Not only were we going to be parents, but it was our child, conceived between two men.” Fugaku explained as he set aside the glass he had emptied for the second time.

“At first we thought it was going to be impossible to get through, but Tsunade answered all of our questions and helped us out no matter what time of day it was. I think the thing that was hardest for Minato though, was when she told us we couldn’t have sex anymore.” He said with a small grin.

“She never told me that!” Naruto suddenly exclaimed. He then deflated slightly, “But then she already knew I wasn’t having sex with anyone.”

Itachi then turned to Naruto. “You’re not with the other father? Does he even know?” He asked.

“No, I’m not and yes, he does.” The blonde replied as he stared sadly down at the floor.

“What?! Who is he? Clearly he needs some sense knocked into him if he’d abandoned you like that.” Itachi fiercely stated.

Naruto turned wide, fearful eyes on Itachi. “No! It doesn’t matter and I don’t want to talk about it anymore.” A few tears slid from the corners his bright blue eyes.

Itachi frowned at the younger man. “I apologize. I didn’t realize it would upset you so much.”

“It’s ok.” Naruto replied with a small, watery smile. “You didn’t know.”

After a few seconds of silence, Fugaku continued his story. “About a month after you were born, Itachi, Minato left, but not in the way you think.”

I stared at my blonde lover in absolute shock. “What?”

“I’m sorry, Fu. You know I’ve been on that waiting list forever. This isn’t a chance I can pass up.” Minato said in a voice full of regret.

I knew he was right though. Having the opportunity to study in a foreign country was not something someone turned down. Something like that on his resume would greatly increase his chances of getting into a better career. But I couldn’t help feeling that wasn’t the only reason why he was begging me to let him go.

Minato was a restless person. He always had to be doing something new and exciting. Having a baby at twenty didn’t allow him to live like that anymore and I could tell it was starting to get to him. Even in the last few months of his pregnancy he had become incredibly antsy and now it seemed to have gotten even worse.

I loved him and as much as I needed him to stay, I wasn’t going to hold him back.

“Please, Fu. I won’t go for the entire six months, just one or two. I’ll call every day, twice a day if you want, I promise.” The look on his face as he pleaded with me was heartbreaking.

Hearing it put like that, maybe it would actually be good for him to get away for a month or two. It wasn’t really that long. I could handle school and a baby at the same time.

~!~

Just as he promised, Minato called every chance he got. Usually twice a day, sometimes more and occasionally only once, but he always made sure to call.

Near the end of the first month, he told me he wanted to stay for another. I wasn’t too upset since that had been a possibility from the very beginning, but I was already starting to feel a little stretched, even with my parents helping with Itachi.

By the end of the second month, I was exhausted but excited for Minato’s return. I couldn’t wait for him to see how much Itachi had grown. Of course, there were other perks to us being together again.

But the morning I was supposed to pick him up from the airport, I got a call from him. At first, I thought he just wanted a chance to talk to me one more time before he got on the plane, but then he told me wasn’t coming home yet. When I asked when he was, he said he didn’t know.

After that, Minato stopped calling as much. I deluded myself into thinking he was just busy with school work but deep down, I knew that wasn’t the case. I knew he was out seeing what America had to offer.

I tried not to worry about it, not to think about it. When I did think about it, I tried to focus on how much Minato had to miss us and that when he got back we’d spend every moment together.

Toward the end of the six months, I went to turn in my paperwork for the next semester. While I was there, I decided to make sure Minato had sent his in as well. Even though we weren’t married, I was still allowed to know because I was the other parent to his child. When I asked about it, they said they hadn’t received his paperwork yet. I asked them to double check but then they told me Minato had transferred schools months ago.

Angry didn’t even begin to describe how I felt. I was frustrated, upset, and worst of all, betrayed. I wanted to cry, something I hadn’t done it years. Minato, the love of my life and “mother” of my child, had abandoned me.

The moment I was home again, I picked up the phone and called Minato’s dorm. No one answered and I didn’t feel like leaving a message. So, I kept calling and calling until he answered over an hour later.

“Hello?”

“How dare you!” I spat into the phone. Even I was shocked by the sound of my voice.

The other end of the line was silent for a few moments. Finally, “You… you know. Fu…”

“Don’t! Don’t Fu, me, Namikaze!” Neither of us spoke again for several minutes. When Minato finally did… my world fell apart.

“I… I think… we should see other people.”

“W-what?” Was all I could muster.

“I said-”

I interrupted him with a fury I’d never known. “I know what you said, Minato! Why!? H-ow!? What. Happened.”

On the other end of the line I heard a small sniffle. “I’m sorry, Fugaku. I love you, so much, but I can’t take it, being so stagnant. I’m not ready to be settled down in such a way. I can’t be a parent yet. I’m sorry.”

“What about our son!?” I screeched. “What about Itachi?”

Another sniffle. “I love him, too. I do, I promise. But I think you should find someone better for him than I am.”

Something in my brain suddenly clicked and I dropped the phone in shock. I blindly felt around for it as I stared off into space, barely believing my own mind. “You met someone.” I stated monotonously once it was back to my ear.

“Fu…”

Confirmation.

From the other room, the sound of crying suddenly filled the air.

“Is Itachi ok? I can hear him crying?” Minato asked.

“He’s fine.” I spat. “But I have to go. My son needs my attention.” I hung up the phone with a click and whipped it across the room as tears began to spill from my own eyes.

The room was silent for a moment as Fugaku wiped a few tears from his eyes. “I already knew Mikoto from class and we started dating a few months later. We were married by the time you are two, Itachi, and we decided to let you believe she was your mother. Even Minato agreed when I spoke to him about it.”

“Who did my dad meet” Naruto queried, still naked from the waist up. He was too warm to put his clothing back on at the moment.

Fugaku gave the young man a small, soft smile. “A lovely half-Japanese/half-American woman named Kushina.”

“My mom!” The blonde suddenly looked angry. “He didn’t cheat on you did he?” He asked, incredulous.

“No. The next time we spoke, he reassured me that he didn’t do anything with her until after we broke up. I believed him. He had no reason to lie to me at that point. He was half a world away. There wouldn’t have been anything I could do about it.” The eldest Uchiha explained.

Naruto rubbed his temples. So much information in one day.

“You ok?” A previously silent Itachi asked.

“Yeah. I think I just have a headache.” He replied. At the same moment, Naruto’s stomach rumbled loudly. “And I’m starving.” He added.

Fugaku glanced at his watch. “Would you like to stay for dinner, Naruto? It’s almost five-thirty already and we’re eating at six.” The man asked.

“I’d love to!”

“Excellent.” He turned to his son. “Itachi, why don’t you take him to find a more sufficient shirt?”

Itachi stood from his seat and stretched. “Sure. No problem. Come with me.”

Naruto scrambled from his chair to follow his brother, slipping his sweatshirt back on as he did so.

“I’m fine, Itachi, really.” The blonde said once they were in the hall. “I don’t need another shirt.”

“Naruto, it’s nearly ninety degrees outside and you’re clearly uncomfortable in that thing.” Itachi stated as they walked up a set of stairs. “Besides, it’s a little too casual for a family dinner.”

“Uh… what do you mean “family dinner”?” Naruto asked. “Who’s going to be there?”

Itachi opened a door. “Sasuke and his family are coming, of course.”

Almost on cue a small, high-pitched voice suddenly shouted, “Grandma!”

“What’s wrong?” The dark-haired man asked, sensing Naruto’s sudden discomfort.

The younger man sighed. “Sasuke and I had a big fight and we haven’t actually spoken to each other in months.” He explained hastily.

Itachi laughed from inside his closet. “You guys fight all the time. Whatever it is, I’m sure you’ll make up now that so much time has passed.” He emerged from the closet with a blue button up in hand. “Try this on. It’s too big for me.”

Naruto slipped off his sweatshirt and took the top offered by the other man. It was a little tight and he couldn’t tuck it into his jeans, but it was certainly better than sweating to death.

“Thanks, Itachi.” He said, hugging Itachi.

“Hey, that’s what brothers are for.”
