Author's note: Today is a special day, everyone! Because you'll be getting two chapters today! I've decided to cut the chapter in two, because I like to keep the chapters to roughly the same length, so that's why you'll be getting two chapters today :)
The first one I'll post now and the second one will be posted later today once it's finished, so keep an eye on that!
Warnings: a bit of a serious start, but mostly it's rather light hearted I think
I hope you'll like this first part!
6 Joining Part 1
"I'm glad you came here today," Naruto said, watching his thumb rub over the back of Sasuke's hand.
After the Alpha's confession downstairs, they had moved to Naruto's room, snuggling on his bed and kissing some more. They ended up with Naruto's head against Sasuke's shoulder and his left leg thrown over the other boy's thighs; their hands tangled together on the blond's stomach.
"I'm glad too," Sasuke murmured; his other hand, trapped underneath Naruto, pressing against the Omega's back, a warm imprint even through his shirt.
"I – I was afraid you wouldn't want to be friends anymore," Naruto confessed quietly, rubbing his cheek absently against Sasuke's shoulder.
"I would have still stayed friends with you even if I didn't feel the same," the dark haired boy immediately retorted. "I was stupid to stay away for a week."
Naruto shrugged as much as he could in this position. "It's not like I was any better. I didn't dare to text or call you either," he said chagrined, still upset with himself that he hadn't had the balls to contact Sasuke.
"Considering you thought I'd rejected you, I don't blame you," Sasuke sighed.
A moment of silence passed between them before Naruto inquired, "What made you decide to come here after all?"
It was quiet for so long Naruto felt the need to look up to make sure the other boy hadn't somehow fallen asleep. He wasn't; dark eyes were staring at the ceiling in contemplation. He must have felt the blond's gaze on him, because he looked down and offered him a wry smile.
"I've said that I kept everyone at a distance after my family died, right?"
The non-sequential answer took Naruto off guard and he blinked a couple of times before nodding slowly. "Yeah, yeah, you said that."
"It's …" Sasuke took a deep breath, a dark look passing over his face momentarily. "I kept everyone at a distance because I … was afraid of losing someone else I loved."
Naruto's heart thudded painfully in his chest at that admission and he slipped his arm around Sasuke's waist, hugging him, hoping it would soothe him at least a little bit.
"I didn't want to feel that pain ever again. Love wasn't worth that," Sasuke went on; voice low. "What's the point in loving someone if you end up losing them? I know that – the chance of me losing someone else was small, but why take the risk, right?" His chuckle came out weak and pained.
Naruto stayed quiet, just holding the Alpha.
"I tried hard not to feel anything for you," Sasuke said; his hand shifting to slide underneath Naruto's shirt. "But the more we spent time together, the more I realised that – I really liked you. At first I thought I felt that way because I hadn't had friends for so long and I was just confusing friendship for something else. But then it hit me and – it scared the hell out of me. I wasn't ready to admit it and I thought that I could just ignore it. Because there was no way you would ever feel the same for me."
"How could you ever think that? I thought I was being so obvious about it," Naruto murmured, not wanting to interrupt the older boy, but he couldn't stay silent either. How could Sasuke have ever thought that Naruto wouldn't return his feelings? It was the other way around! Naruto still couldn't believe Sasuke had returned his feelings!
"I think I was just too scared to see the truth. Because if I had to admit that I liked you then – I would set myself up for getting hurt and I never wanted to be hurt again," Sasuke said quietly.
"What – what made you decide to - "
"Because I wanted you more than I was afraid of getting hurt."
That admission shocked Naruto into silence even as he raised his head to stare wide eyed at Sasuke. Black eyes met his own before the Alpha kissed him softly.
"We don't even know each other for a year yet, but I'm terrified of losing you," Sasuke murmured, barely pulling back from the kiss. His hand came up to cup Naruto's cheek. "So I had two choices: I'd pull back, pretend that we're only friends and be miserable the whole time, wondering what if. Or I could bite the bullet and admit that I feel more for you and … Yeah. It took me more than a week, but here I am."
"Here you are," Naruto mumbled, entranced by the way those dark eyes glistened. "And here I am. You're not going to lose me, I promise."
The sad smile that appeared on Sasuke's face made the blond ache for him. "That's not something you can promise, Naruto."
"I can and I will," Naruto retorted stubbornly, sitting up and grabbing Sasuke's hands. "My parents are police – you don't think they taught me anything? Thanks to you, I'm also learning more self-defence from Gaara and you're with me."
"Things can happen," Sasuke started, but the younger boy cut him off.
"Sure, things can happen. I can step outside and get hit by a car, I could slip in the bathroom and hit my head on the tub, I could fall down the stairs – so many things can happen, but that doesn't mean we can't live our lives," Naruto insisted, squeezing slender hands. "Look, obviously I'm not going to force you, but you don't need to be afraid, all right? I can take care of myself."
"I can't lose you, Naruto," Sasuke said softly.
"And you won't, I promise. We Uzumaki always keep our promises," Naruto told him solemnly.
A sigh escaped the dark haired boy before a helpless smile unfurled across his lips. "I'm holding you on to that," he said.
"Fair warning," Naruto said as he climbed on top of Sasuke, straddling his lap and resting his hands on the Alpha's shoulders, "now that you've got me, you're not going to get rid of me that easily."
Sasuke smirked, resting his hands on Naruto's hips. "I think I can live with that," he said dryly. He paused before adding lightly, "So how badly are your parents going to freak out about this?"
Naruto thought about his mum, who had been the one to make him realise just what exactly he was feeling for his best friend. "I don't think you'll have to worry," he said. "Mum's the one who made me realise everything."
"Oh, well, that's great?" Sasuke said uncertainly, as if he was reserving judgment about that. "What about your dad?"
Oh shit. Right. He knew he'd forgotten something.
They decided to keep their new relationship hidden from Naruto's parents for now. Not that Naruto was ashamed of Sasuke, of course not!
But everything between them was still new and well, Naruto wanted to enjoy his time with Sasuke before other people would know about it. That and Naruto wasn't sure yet how his dad would react. The older blond had always been rather chill – both his parents were – but until now Naruto hadn't had a partner yet. Sasuke was his first boyfriend and the Omega wasn't sure how his dad would react to that. He didn't think dad would react badly, but you know …
Just until he was sure how his parents would react, he didn't want to tell them just yet.
Sasuke ended up being invited to spend Christmas with Naruto's family. Naruto's mum suggested they would invite Sasuke's parents as well when they came back from their trip and saw Sasuke was visiting.
That made Naruto realise that he hadn't told the truth yet about Sasuke's home situation and he glanced uncertainly at the Alpha, wondering what kind of answer he would give. Black eyes gazed back at him bemused.
"You didn't tell them?" he asked confused, blinking.
"Tell us what?" Dad sank down in the armchair with a sigh, a cup of coffee cradled in his hand.
Naruto and Sasuke had helped put away the groceries before they had all made their way into the living room.
"I didn't think it was my story to tell," Naruto replied, rolling his shoulders awkwardly. The look in Sasuke's eyes had him flushing slightly and looking away, uncrossing his legs.
"What story?" Mum sat down promptly on dad's lap, ignoring his grunt, and furrowed his eyebrows. "What was Naruto supposed to tell us?"
Sasuke leant back, his lips pursed in thought as he obviously was contemplating whether to tell them about his family or not.
"You don't have to tell them, you know," Naruto said quietly, fidgeting. "They'll understand."
"No, it's fine," Sasuke murmured and took a deep breath to steady himself.
Impulsively Naruto grabbed Sasuke's hand, which had been resting on the couch, and tangled their fingers together. Their hands were hidden behind the Alpha's crossed legs, so mum and dad wouldn't be able to see they were holding hands. Even if they were able to see them, though, Naruto didn't care. Sasuke was about to talk about something which was still very difficult for him and Naruto wanted to offer his support, hoping it would help at least a little bit.
Sasuke shot him a quick, grateful smile before he grew sombre and started, "My parents and my brother – they died when I was twelve."
Dad's eyes widened a tad and mum gasped audibly before she slapped her hand in front of her mouth. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry to hear that, Sasuke-kun!"
"They … were killed during a burglary that went wrong," Sasuke continued and his voice was just as flat as when he had told Naruto about his family. Fingers tightened around Naruto's to the point of nearly painful, but he didn't react, only squeezed back softly.
"Did the police catch the ones who did it?" Dad asked sharply; his coffee abandoned on the small table next to him.
"My father and my brother – they killed the burglars before they passed away," Sasuke replied monotonously; his body stiff and tense next to Naruto.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke-kun," Mum said softly. "Nobody should have to lose their family at such a young age – especially not in such a manner. Are you staying with another family member now?"
Sasuke nodded. "Kakashi's my guardian; he was a friend of my brother and he took me in after – after they were killed."
Mum and dad exchanged a look. "Would Kakashi-san like to come over tomorrow too?" she suggested, offering a tentative smile. "We could celebrate Christmas together."
That made Sasuke snort for some reason; the unexpected sound pricking right through the heavy atmosphere which had started to grow after he'd began talking.
"Don't bother inviting him," he said, shaking his head. "Kakashi's never been interested in Christmas."
"Oh, er, what do you two usually do then?" she asked baffled and dad quirked an eyebrow.
He shrugged. "Kakashi usually holes up in his room with some booze and his books and I just read or watch a movie. We'll order some take out and that's that."
He knew it wasn't an appropriate moment, but the twin looks of horror on his parents' faces had Naruto doing his best to supress his snickering and he needed to turn away from them in order not to burst out in laughter.
What Sasuke had just admitted might as well be blasphemy in his parents' eyes; people who'd always pressed the importance of family on Naruto and on spending time and celebrating with the people you loved.
Christmas might not be such a big thing where they lived, but Kushina and Minato still loved to celebrate it as a way to spend time together and make each other happy with presents. That Sasuke had essentially said he hadn't celebrated Christmas in years was like a big blaring alarm to them; a fault they needed to correct.
"Well, ask your guardian just in case he wants to come over. Even if he doesn't come, we'd love to have you here," Mum said decisively.
"I don't want to bother you," Sasuke said cautiously and that made Naruto sober up quickly.
His stomach still aching a bit from his suppressed laughter, he turned to Sasuke and clucked his tongue, smacking the Alpha's arm. "We've literally been having sleep overs for months – why the hell would you think you'd be bothering us by celebrating Christmas with us?"
Scowling at him, Sasuke opened his mouth to retort, but was cut off by dad. "You won't be bothering us at all, Sasuke-kun," he reassured the younger Alpha. "Kushina is going to make way too much food like every year, so we could use an extra person to get rid of all the food." He winked.
Mum pursed her lips and slapped his shoulder. "I am not that bad!"
"Of course not, honey," he said soothingly, pressing a quick kiss on her lips to mollify her.
"Well, if you're sure, I'd love to come over tomorrow," Sasuke said, smiling faintly.
He didn't even pretend that Kakashi would be joining them tomorrow; most likely he wouldn't even mention the invitation to the older man.
Perhaps that was for the best for now, Naruto acknowledged silently. Kakashi could be rather crude and even if his remarks were meant as a joke, the blond didn't think those comments would go over well with his parents.
Later on they could introduce them to each other, but for now it'd be easier if only Sasuke would celebrate Christmas with them.
"Kakashi-san isn't bothered that you're here today?" Naruto asked, closing the door behind him until it stood ajar.
The dishes were done and put away and the presents unpacked. Mum and dad were reminiscing about their school days over a glass of wine for some reason while the boys had decided to go to Naruto's room to have some time alone.
"No, he isn't. I told you he's not that into celebrating Christmas," Sasuke reminded him, sitting down on the bed when the blond pushed him towards it.
"He could have still wanted you to stay home with him," Naruto retorted, grinning when the dark haired boy pulled him down next to him.
Dark eyes rolled. "He really doesn't care about things like that. As long as he knows where I am, it doesn't matter to him."
Naruto hummed and laid down, tugging at Sasuke's wrist until he understood the hint and laid down next to him. "But you didn't mind spending Christmas with us?"
"Why would I mind that?" Sasuke sighed, slinging an arm around Naruto's waist. "I liked it. I haven't celebrated Christmas since my family died." His tone was wistful, but not sad.
Still, not knowing what to say to that, Naruto turned his head slightly to kiss him. They had been sneaking a couple of kisses throughout the whole day when they had been alone in a room. The temporary secrecy was fun and all that, but being able to kiss Sasuke for as long as he wanted was a whole lot more fun.
Something the Alpha seemed to agree with, because the kiss grew quickly more insistent; a hand clamping down on Naruto's hip. A tongue hesitatingly swiping across his lower lip had a shiver running down his spine and tentatively Naruto parted his lips a tad. The tips of their tongues touched; the sensation both weird and interesting.
What did you even do with another tongue in your mouth? Sucking on it would be weird, no? Just touch it then with his? He was pretty sure there was more to this whole other tongue in your mouth business than he knew and he wondered whether he should hit the internet for tips or so. There had to be tips for this, no? The internet had answers for all kinds of things, so surely he'd find some 'what to do with your boyfriend's tongue in your mouth?' guide or so online.
Not that a later search would help him now, considering he had Sasuke's tongue in his mouth at this moment and he didn't have a freaking clue what to do with it! Shit, he should have looked this up last night, so that he could have prepared himself for this. His procrastination tendency really came back to bite him in the arse this time, hm?
Before he could start actually panicking, Sasuke's tongue disappeared and soft lips massaged his own for a few more seconds before the other boy drew back. They were both breathing harder, even if they had done nothing more but some kissing, and Naruto hoped he didn't look as flushed as he felt he was.
Gazing into glittering black eyes, he asked, "You staying the night?"
"Of course. I brought a spare set of clothes with me," Sasuke replied offhandedly and Naruto hid his grin into his shoulder.
He was looking forward to sharing the bed with the other boy again. Even though it had only been a week since Sasuke had last slept in the same bed as him, sleeping had become rather difficult for the blond. With Sasuke's scent fading away, his sleep had become quite restless and he'd been feeling rather tired this whole week.
It would be nice to have Sasuke spending the night again. He already felt better at the thought of being able to share the bed with the dark eyed boy again, wrapped up in his scent – and maybe even in his arms?
Yes, snuggling was definitely something that was going to happen tonight.
Naruto hummed as he shrugged on the sweatshirt and pulled on his pyjama bottoms. Sasuke was taking a quick shower before he'd brush his teeth and they would go to bed.
Naruto's present to Sasuke, the book about samurai, had been placed on the desk together with the cute stuffed frog Sasuke had given him in return. Aside from foxes, Naruto had always had a soft spot for frogs. He had a frog themed blanket and a little crystal statue of a frog standing on his windowsill. Still, he hadn't expected Sasuke to pick up on his love for frogs, so he'd been pleasantly surprised by the stuffed toy when he'd unwrapped it this afternoon.
He would need to find a good place for it; he was still debating between the foot end of his bed or giving it a spot on his desk.
Next to the frog there was also a gift card to Ichiraku's Ramen where he could go eat for free for ten consecutive turns. It had taken Naruto a lot of strength not to kiss Sasuke squarely on his mouth right then and there when he'd opened that particular envelop. Judging by the tiny smirk on the Alpha's face, the older boy had been quite aware of how badly the blond had had to restrain himself.
He might be his boyfriend now, but Sasuke was still a bastard at times.
A knock on the door had him looking up. "Mum?"
She was already dressed in her own nightwear; a thick robe warding off the chill hanging upstairs. Her long red hair was tied together in a loose braid.
"Sasuke-kun in the bathroom?" she asked curiously; the corners of her mouth quirking up in a quick fond smile when she spotted the frog next to the book.
"Yeah, he's taking a shower," Naruto replied, plopping down on his bed. "Dad still downstairs?"
"He's cleaning up some of our glasses, but we'll be going to sleep soon," she said and entered the room fully. Leaning against the desk, she patted the frog absentmindedly. "You know, I'm pretty sure any regular normal mother would put a stop to these sleep overs now."
Taken aback he stared at her. "What? Why? You said you were okay with it!" he protested, fingers digging into the blankets.
"That's back when you were still only friends." She raised an eyebrow meaningfully and it took him a couple of embarrassing long seconds to realise what she was alluding to.
He promptly reddened and waved his hands frantically. "We're still best friends!"
"Of course you are," she said placatingly. "But you're also something more. Don't even try to deny it, Naruto. It's basically plastered all over your face."
He deflated and sighed. "Is it that obvious?"
"That you're lovestruck?" she chuckled, the look in her eyes fond. "Hm, a little bit."
"Does dad - "
"Honey, I love your dad, but he can be an oblivious doofus sometimes," she grinned and winked. "This is one of those times."
"But you noticed." He furrowed his eyebrows, a bit upset that apparently he'd already betrayed their new relationship when they hadn't even been together for two days yet.
"I'm your mother. Of course I noticed it. You think I wouldn't notice the sudden switch in mood yesterday?" she scoffed. "I just had to take one look at your face to know what had happened."
"I wasn't that obvious," he muttered petulantly.
"I've seen that exact look on your face before."
"Oh yeah? Where?"
"On my own face when I started going out with Minato," she answered frankly, leaving her son speechless. She smiled; little wrinkles appearing in the corners of her eyes. "Seeing you yesterday next to Sasuke-kun was like looking at a mirror. We Uzumaki really aren't that subtle, you know?"
"Apparently subtle enough for dad," he couldn't help but point out.
She rolled her eyes. "Yeah well, it also took your dad two months to realise I had a huge crush on him, so he isn't very observant when it comes to matters like this one."
He snickered, knowing dad would protest that notion if he heard her saying it. All too soon he sobered up, though. The gig was up so to speak; apparently there was no keeping secrets from his mum. She really did make a good police woman.
"So I guess this means one of us has to sleep on the couch then?" he asked dejectedly.
It wasn't like they had been planning to do more than kiss; he wouldn't sneak around his parents' backs like that and besides, they were only together for two days: that was much too early to even think about doing something more than kissing and cuddling!
"If I was like any other mother, yeah, the whole sleeping together would stop today," she said wryly and rubbed the back of her neck with a soft groan. "But if I did that, I'd be a complete hypocrite. I've butted heads with my mum a lot when I started dating your dad, being mad at her because she forbade him sleeping over because she didn't trust us. I told myself that I would never be like that, so I guess that promise came back to bite me in the arse." She laughed softly, shaking her head.
"We're only going to sleep, I promise," he said hastily, a bit of hope blooming up in his chest. "We're not ready for more; we've only been together for two days!"
"I know, I trust you," she said and wrinkled her nose. "All right, how about this: Sasuke-kun can still stay the night, but I'll be making an appointment with the doctor for you this week."
"The doctor? Why?" Naruto asked stumped. "I'm not sick."
"No, you're not, but now that you've got a boyfriend," a small giggle escaped her and he narrowed his eyes, "that means your suppressants need an upgrade so to speak. We'll get you ones that will protect you against pregnancy instead of only numbing your heat."
"But I just said we're not going to do anything yet!" His face must be a tomato red by now, given how his cheeks felt like they were on fire.
"I know, but I've been your age too, Naruto, and I know that there will come a time when you want to go further. Trust me, I told my mum at the start too that I wouldn't be ready for sex for a long time yet, but after a month or so I wanted to climb your dad like a tree."
"Oh my god, mum, ew! I don't need to hear that!"
She ignored him and went on serenely, "I had a couple of pregnancy scares before we had you and I swore to myself that when I had a kid one day, I'd make sure they'd be protected during sex, no matter what Status my kid would have. Whether that meant buying condoms or getting the right suppressants, I'd do whatever was needed so my child won't have to go through a pregnancy scare like I did. Because trust me, sweetheart, there's nothing fun about sitting on a toilet at college, hoping to god that the stick won't colour positive, and panicking about what your boyfriend is going to say if it does turn out positive."
She took a deep breath before crossing the distance between them and sat down next to him. "You might think it's embarrassing, but think of it like this: your body needs around a month to adjust itself to the new suppressants, so by the time you're ready to take the next step with Sasuke-kun, you won't have to worry about protection, hm?"
"I guess so," he admitted embarrassed. He knew she meant well, but that didn't make talking about sex with her any less embarrassing! "Thanks, mum."
"For what?"
"For being awesome about this," he mumbled bashfully.
"Well, I do try my best," she smirked and ruffled his hair before hugging him. "If you've got any questions, though, you know where to find me."
"I know," he muttered, hugging her back.
She stood up and stretched her arms. "All right, I'm going to my own bedroom before Minato starts wondering where I am. Good night, Naruto."
"Good night, mum." He hesitated briefly before blurting out, "So you're okay with this? With – with Sasuke and me, I mean?"
Resting her hand on the doorjamb, she gave him a soft smile. "Naruto, as long as you're happy, I don't care who you're with. I'm glad you and Sasuke-kun found each other."
"Yeah, I'm glad too," Naruto murmured, very much aware of the fact that he was grinning silly now.
She winked at him and left. He heard her padding down the hallway before Sasuke appeared in the doorway, some droplets clinging to the tips of his bangs. He cocked his head to the right and walked over to the bed, flipping off the light on his way over so that only the small lamp on Naruto's nightstand was still glowing.
"Was that your mum?"
"Yeah, came to talk to me for a bit," Naruto confirmed and slipped underneath the blankets, holding them up in a silent invitation for Sasuke to join him.
The older boy did, running his hand through his hair. "What about?"
"She knows about us."
That had Sasuke pausing and he stared at the Omega blankly. "About us – as in she knows we're together?" he questioned cautiously, not even flinching when Naruto pressed his cold feet against his.
"Yep." His lips popped when he answered and he watched the other boy, curious to see how he would react to the news.
"Ah. Your dad?"
"Doesn't know about it yet. Guess mum will leave that up to us."
"She's okay with it?"
"Yeah, totally." To the point where she'll get me new suppressants, he added silently and he clamped his lips shut to prevent a hysterical chuckle from escaping.
Getting new suppressants in case he would have sex soon with Sasuke was definitely not how he'd imagined the conversation about his new relationship to go. Sure, she'd been the one to basically make him realise what exactly he felt for his best friend, but still.
"Huh, should I go downstairs to sleep on the couch then?" Sasuke inquired uncertainly, already lifting up the corner of the blanket to get up again.
Naruto snatched his wrist before he could slip completely out of bed. "No! You don't have to! I asked and she said it was okay to sleep in one bed."
"She doesn't mind that we're sharing a bed," Sasuke repeated flatly, a dubious look passing over his face.
"No, she really doesn't. Trust me, if she did, you'd know," Naruto snorted before frowning. "Anyway, you're the 'guest' of this house, so it would have been me taking the couch if we had to sleep separately."
"As if I'd let you sleep on the couch," Sasuke snorted, dropping the blanket.
"What's wrong with me sleeping on the couch? Not like I haven't done that before," the blond said baffled.
"Naruto, you're not going to sleep on the couch," Sasuke stated and plunged the room in darkness before Naruto could open his mouth again. "If anybody would have to, I would go."
Rolling his eyes in the dark wasn't as effective considering Sasuke wouldn't be able to see it happening, but Naruto still did it and huffed. "Don't know what your issue is with the couch, bastard," he muttered, shuffling deeper underneath the blanket. "It would make more sense for me to sleep on the couch than you."
"No, it wouldn't," Sasuke retorted and pulled Naruto closer to him, wrapping his arm around his stomach. "It doesn't matter anyway, because your mum still lets us sleep together."
"Yeah, my mum's awesome," Naruto sighed, turning around in the Alpha's embrace until his nose was pressed against Sasuke's shoulder. He slung his own arm around Sasuke, enjoying the fact that he could snuggle with him now without having to feel embarrassed about it.
"She is," Sasuke agreed and Naruto stilled when he felt a soft kiss pressed against his forehead. "Good night."
Smiling, Naruto closed his eyes and inhaled the soothing scent surrounding him again, finally after more than a week. "Yeah, good night."
Mum took him to the doctor's on Tuesday, having been able to snatch an empty slot right on time. It had been snowing the entire morning with no sign of letting up anytime soon and his scarf was still damp by the time the doctor called them inside.
Without beating around the bush, the doctor smirked, "So brat, heard you got yourself a boyfriend, hm?"
"Mum, seriously?" Naruto complained, scowling at her as he plopped down in the left chair.
"What? She'd have figured it out anyway considering I told her we need to change your suppressants," Mum defended herself, placing her purse on her lap. "Why else do you think we managed to get this early appointment?"
"Can't have you producing little brats already, right?" Tsunade's smirk grew and she folded her hands together as she sat back down behind her desk.
Tsunade had been his doctor from the moment he'd started taking the suppressants during his heat. She was a family friend of dad and was mum's doctor as well – the choice to have her as Naruto's doctor too had been quickly made.
"Baa-chan," he whined, flushing slightly.
"Just stating the truth," she chuckled and leant forwards; her large breasts prominent in her shirt. Despite being nearly fifty years old, she still looked really good and she was very aware of that. "Who's the lucky guy?"
"Sasuke, my best friend," he answered and her brown eyes lit up.
"This is how he looks like," Mum said and to his astonishment she promptly showed Tsunade her phone.
"You took a picture of him?" he asked dismayed, trying to snatch the phone away from her. Tsunade was quicker and plucked the mobile out of mum's hand before he could take it, making him huff in annoyance. "When the hell did you do that?"
"Of course I did," Mum replied unrepentantly. "It was last Sunday and you two were watching tv on the couch. You looked so cute together I couldn't resist."
"Oh, you struck gold with this one, kid," Tsunade murmured, sounding admiring. "Damn, first boyfriend and you already got such a looker."
He wrinkled his nose, disliking how she focused on his looks. Sasuke was way more than just his good looks alone.
After she handed the phone back, she turned business like and said briskly, "So, you're here to get new suppressants. You know the differences between the ones you'll be taking now and your old ones?"
"Er." He glanced at mum. "They'll make sure I won't get pregnant?" It came out more question like than he had intended to, but he couldn't think of any other differences at the moment.
"Yes, that's their primary goal," Tsunade smiled, logging onto her computer and selecting his file. "Another difference is that instead of only taking them during your heat, these suppressants need to be taken every day. The pills themselves are divided into three 'regular weeks' and then one week in which your heat will occur. The pills in this last week will contain a heavier dose than the others to make absolutely sure you won't get pregnant should you choose to have sex during your heat."
Ignoring the little squeak that escaped him, she continued, "It's easier if you take them around the same time each day; doing so will build up your routine, making you less likely to forget them. If you forget to take them or if you get sick enough to puke, make sure to use condoms for a while then. Let's see, what else? Oh, right. You can decide whenever you want to start taking them, but know that the first month your body is still adjusting to the new influx of hormones so your heat might come later or earlier and could take a few days longer this time. That's all normal, as your mum will surely know."
Mum nodded and grimaced, obviously remembering her own first experience with this type of suppressants.
"In fact it might take your body a few months in total to adjust. If it takes longer than that, we might have to look into another type of suppressants that your body won't have problems with," she said, typing something. She turned to face him again and the devilish gleam in her eyes made him wary all of a sudden.
"Now, we'll do a small examination, make sure everything is working as it should, but I don't think you'll have any issues. One more question, though."
"What?" he asked guarded, unsure whether he could trust that look in her eyes.
"Have you had sex already?" she asked frankly, as if mum wasn't sitting right next to him.
"What the fuck, baa-chan?" he choked out, his cheeks quickly heating up until they felt on fire. What the fuck kind of question was that even?
She shrugged. "If you have, it might be useful if I do an internal examination as well. Otherwise we can leave that until your next visit if you've had sex by then."
"I haven't had sex yet," he replied in a strangled voice, absolutely refusing to look at his mum who, he was pretty sure, was trying to stifle her giggles.
"All right then, a quick examination alone. Follow me and afterwards I'll write you a prescription for your new pills."
"Yay," Naruto said unenthusiastically, not looking forward to getting prodded in the stomach.
Just think about the sleep overs, he told himself as he laid down on the examination table. Sleeping with Sasuke is worth this.
"Oh, by the way," mercilessly she rubbed cold gel over his lower stomach, ignoring his hissing, "best not to have sex during the first month of taking your new suppressants unless it's with condoms."
Dropping his head down against the headrest, he reminded himself sternly: sleep overs.
Seeing no need to lie about his new suppressants, Naruto told Sasuke about them a few days later when they saw each other again.
"Your mum is really okay with this, huh?" he remarked; a hint of surprise in his voice.
They were both sitting at Naruto's desk now; the dark haired boy helping him out with some of his assignments which were due next Monday when they would go back to school.
"Yeah, she's definitely okay with this," Naruto replied wryly, his mind flashing back to what mum had told him right after they'd left Tsunade's practice.
"Look, I'm not going to be one of those parents who freaks about my kid having sex, okay? I'd rather you do it at home and be safe than in some shady hotel or so. Just, you know, keep the door closed and er, if it's possible, try to do it when your dad and I aren't home," she said and cleared her throat, waving her hand wildly around.
"Oh my god, mum," he groaned, dropping his head in his hands.
"Just looking out for you, honey!"
Shaking his head to dispel the memory – he'd had enough embarrassment these past couple of days to last him a lifetime – he glanced at Sasuke, watching him frowning over something he'd written down just now. With an almost miniscule shake of his head, Sasuke erased the part that bothered him and started anew.
Gnawing on his lip, Naruto contemplated how to word his next question. It had been on his mind for a couple of days now and with the end of the break approaching fast he could hardly keep ignoring it.
"What are you thinking about?" Sasuke broke through his musing. His tone was absent and he was still going over what he'd jotted down, but it didn't surprise the Omega that Sasuke had picked up on the fact that he was more distracted than usual.
Even before they became a couple, the dark haired boy had been rather well attuned to Naruto's moods, able to pinpoint every time something was bothering him. It made the blond wonder whether he was really such an open book.
"I was just wondering …" he hesitated for a moment, fiddling with his sleeves before he sighed. "I was wondering whether you want to keep this a secret at school? That we're together, I mean?"
He hadn't told dad yet, but that was mainly because he was awaiting the right moment. Their classmates, however, were a completely different matter. Sure, he was only close with Kiba and to some extent even Shikamaru, but he wasn't so daft as to not realise that his relationship with Sasuke would have a great impact on the class as a whole. The girls in his class had envied him from the start, because he'd actually been able to get to know Sasuke better; something which they still hadn't managed to do after all these years.
Then there was the fact that a lot of girls harboured crushes on the dark haired Alpha and Naruto couldn't help but worry a bit how they would react once they found out that their dream guy was no longer on the market.
Leaning back into the chair, Sasuke threw him a thoughtful look. "I'm not planning on keeping us a secret," he said and grimaced slightly. "That said, I don't think it's anyone's business either what we do with each other."
"No, I agree," Naruto said and shuddered as he imagined the various vicious ways the girls in their class could react towards the news. He didn't think they would be very happy once they found out just who was dating Sasuke. "So just act like we always do?"
"If you want to make a big announcement, you can," Sasuke said amused. "Don't let me stop you."
"Nah, don't need an announcement," Naruto grinned and pressed their shoulders together. "They'll find out on their own."
And the longer it took them to find out the truth, the longer he could enjoy being with Sasuke without being pestered by others. A win-win situation really.
They ended their break with a visit to the temple to celebrate the new year.
Naruto's parents had gone earlier; the both of them early risers. Sasuke was more of an early riser as well and most likely would have visited the temple as early as mum and dad if Naruto hadn't made it very clear to him the night before that he would regret it if he even considered the idea of waking up the blond at an ungodly hour.
Sasuke's compromise was to wake him up at nine so they could be at the temple by ten. Naruto had considered protesting that particular compromise, but the other boy had promised to take him out for ramen later and well, he couldn't say no to that, could he?
So here he stood now, surrounded by families, couples and groups of friends; all gathered for their annual visit to the temple.
When Naruto straightened out from his bow, he felt a gloved hand slip around his own, warmth radiating even through the two layers, and he smiled, squeezing Sasuke's hand softly.
As they slowly made their way down the hill, chilly wind biting their cheeks, Sasuke's hand was warm and steady in his; their fingers laced together.
A new year had started; Naruto couldn't wait to find out what it had in store for him and Sasuke.
