Chapter Ninety-One: Second Best Day of my Life
The show went on, now telling about the birthday boy's life after the war. For a while he had gone on denying that he was gay, keeping hidden from everyone the true reason of his dishonourable discharge from the military, staying with his wife and his children, whom he did not want to leave. He tried to keep down his desire by getting busy: Joining a new football club and a new band – both groups gave performances, as did the jubilant's former and present colleagues. The people of the peace initiative he used to be member of were present, but they did not give any performance, not even a speech: they, too, had grown used to peace as must people in Music Town, and directed their political activities elsewhere, if they had stayed active at all, so that they had lost contact and were not able to give a performance.
Naruto remained the best part of the show, introducing the performers as if they were famous artists celebrating a man who was some kind of hero, or at least an important politician or football star, not an ordinary man with an ordinary job in the administration of Music Town, where he spent his time sitting behind a desk filling in forms.
“Yet in Music Town nothing stays hidden forever”, Naruto continued his story. “People know people who know people, and in the end someone knew a man who knew the real reason of the dishonourable discharge. His wife asked to be divorced, and a time of loneliness followed, second in horror only to the time that immediately followed his lover's death. But rescue was near.”
Now the final part of the show began. Half an hour earlier the men of their own group who planned to participate in the performance had disappeared from the great hall, and now they returned, all in drag. The birthday boy had been asked by Naruto and his partner to sit on a chair in the middle of the room, surrounded by the guests at their tables, then they had withdrawn, only a few steps, but it sufficed to symbolize the jubilant's loneliness at the time. The man looked around, looking really a bit lonely, but mostly insecure and uncomfortable on his chair, then he perceived the men in drag. They all had entered the room silently through its various doors and were now waving at the jubilant from the back rows, laying their heads to the side and winking with their artificial eye lashes.
“He began to notice a lot of strange people all over the town”, Naruto continued. “They were friendly and fascinating, and when one day he found the courage to talk to them they were ready to claim him as one of their own.”
It was the sign for the men to rush on stage, all in their evening gowns and on their high heels, and cover the birthday boy in embraces. He looked embarrassed, but also happy.
“So he had finally found the family he truly belonged to”, Naruto concluded, “and after a short time he also found his new true love.”
The boy-friend, not in drag but in a suit, found his way through the crowd to his partner, and the two men kissed and embraced. The birthday boy thanked his partner for organizing the party, then a huge bunch of flowers appeared from somewhere and was passed to the jubilant, who presented it to Naruto.
“And I want to thank our lovely hostess who has guided us safely on a long journey. So may I asked you for the first dance?”
Naruto accepted and gave the flowers to one of the bystanders, who passed them on to someone else as he wanted to dance himself. In the end the flowers had found their way to Sasuke, who had kept in the background. He would have preferred to remain even further back, sitting in the corner from where he had watched the whole show, but the husband of the guy from Earth Country had urged him to join the group, telling him again that he should stand by himself and his friends. Now he told him to get a vase for the flowers: together they sought for one in the community center's kitchen and deposited the flowers there.
When they returned to the hall they found Naruto receiving compliments from everyone and getting asked to dance by one man after the other. He was in bliss: he kissed people on their cheeks and blushed from the compliments under his make-up. Sasuke felt jealous: He would not have accepted Naruto's role in the show under any circumstances, but now he could not help feeling envious for the praise Naruto received, just for wearing a crazy costume and moderating a birthday party.
After some time Naruto grew restless: he had missed Sasuke and feared that his hatred of the whole project had made him leave the party, and he was glad when he spotted him again in the hall. He turned down a man who wanted to dance with him, and found a way through the dancers to Sasuke: he looked quite insecure on his high heels by now, and he smelled of alcohol. Sasuke embraced him all the same.
“Where have you been?” Naruto asked.
“I saved your flowers”, Sasuke answered.
“You were not annoyed with me? Say, what did you think of me? Did I do well?”
“You were the best part of the show”, Sasuke answered honestly, but he sounded far less enthusiastic than the other guests.
“Will you dance with me too then?”
Sasuke nodded and opened his arms, indicating that he intended to lead. He did not trust Naruto in his present state: even with him, Sasuke, leading they could not do more than dance the basic steps and some very easy figures, and when the music ended Sasuke led Naruto to his place at the table. (Actually Sasuke had drunk too while he had been watching the show, but he considered himself sober all the same.)
Naruto did not sit down, but urged Sasuke to take a seat and then sat down on his lap. Sasuke hated himself for complying – he hated himself for behaving like a gentleman, just because Naruto had dressed up as a woman. At the same time he enjoyed the feeling of protecting Naruto...
Naruto took Sasuke's hands and folded them over his belly, then he reached out for his glass: a flat cocktail glass, and the drink was some sweet juice with a lot of cream and alcohol, complete with some fruits and a paper umbrella. He would not have touched it on other days, but now he said “I am a lady today.”
(The women in their own restaurant normally drank beer or wine, just as the men, But of course it was not the kind or restaurant that served cocktails.)
Sasuke caressed Naruto's belly, and Naruto snuggled against him.
“Do you really think I was good?” he asked again, and again Sasuke answered: “You were the best part of the show. You were fantastic.”
Naruto leant heavily against him and rested his head on Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke was not sure whether he liked it: He preferred Naruto more independent and active, in men's clothes, and sober. When Naruto took his hands and laid them on his artificial breasts Sasuke shook Naruto's hands off and opened Naruto's dress on the back and moved his hands under the dress and the bra: he just needed to feel Naruto's real body.
“I've always dreamt of this”, Naruto said. “I do something crazy and people like me for it: they don't hate me as they did in Konoha.”
Sasuke preferred it if Naruto did not make a fool of himself by doing crazy things as dressing up as a woman, but he didn't say so.
“People here have different values”, he said instead.
“In Konoha I always wanted to be like you”, Naruto continued in a dreamy voice. Sasuke's words did not seem to have made it to his brain. “You were strong and people admired you for your strength, so I wanted to be strong too, so that people would admire me too. I did not manage, and so I did crazy things to gain people's love, or at least their attention, but this didn't work either. Here it works.”
“I never wanted you to be like me”, Sasuke replied.
He had not wanted him to be a clown either, however. He did not know what he had wanted of Naruto when both of them had been children.
“No, you wanted m to be weak, so that you could be feel superior”, Naruto replied.
It was not true, Sasuke thought. Truth was actually that he wanted Naruto strong, almost as strong as himself, but not stronger. He could not admit this to Naruto of course. Here in Music Town this was irrelevant anyway, here Naruto had always been much better at interacting with the locals and gaining their recognition and friendship. Sasuke got better too, but Naruto moved like a fish in water.
“Stay with me here”, he said. “We don't need Konoha. We are better off here. People love you here.”
He kissed the spot between Naruto's neck and his shoulder. (A sleeveless gown had its advantages, Sasuke realized.) His hands moved over all of Naruto's body (still within the dress) and then Naruto removed his wig to give Sasuke better access to his neck. He took off his high heels too, and moved his toes when they had been liberated. He allowed himself just to enjoy Sasuke's caresses while he wondered about Sasuke's words.
Slowly heir gay friends joined them as they had had enough dancing. One of them took a photo, which was when the boys stopped their activities.
“You were great”, the man again told Naruto. “You should consider doing this more often. You can host the next ball, or be moderator on the main stage of the Gay Pride Parade.”
“Or you can learn to perform. Create a funny show with a female character for yourself. Maybe you should learn to play the guitar and sing.”
“You might do it professionally. You have talent. You don`t want to remain a waiter for all your life, do you?”
For the first time Naruto didn't answer that he intended to become Hokage of Konoha. He just enjoyed the praise and pressed Sasuke's hands that were now lying on his belly (no longer under the dress.)
“This is the second best moment of my life”, he said. “The best was when I was welcomed back by the people of Konoha after all by myself I had defeated the aggressor who had destroyed the village. I had been hated during all my childhood for being the kyuubi's vessel, but when I had saved them they finally accepted me.”
He must be quite drunk to speak openly of the kyuubi, Sasuke thought. But nobody seemed to mind.
“I felt great, the work of many years had finally pad off”, Naruto continued. “But now” - he sought for words - “when people in Konoha welcomed me back it felt as if they were giving me a medal, but this feels as if you are presenting me a giant teddy bear.”
The men didn`'t know what to make of these words. Sasuke, however, did. He had always strived for the medal, not for the teddy bear. His parents had once given him a stuffed animal, he would not have wanted another one.
“You really fought an aggressor who had already destroyed the whole village of Konoha?” the guy from Earth Country asked. “You never told us about it.”
“I did. I told you that I am an extraordinary strong ninja, worthy of becoming Hokage.”
The men were silent, as this was beyond their scope of understanding.
“We would defend Music Town too, wouldn't we, Sasuke?”
He made a wide gesture with his arms to emphasize. The effect was ruined, however, by the fact that Naruto had still been holding his class, and some of the liquid had spilled out from it. Sasuke caught his hand and steadied it.
“We will save your town, won't we?” Naruto repeated.
“We will”, Sasuke answered.
“We hope it won't be necessary”, the husband of the guy from Earth Country said.
On their way home Sasuke had to steady Naruto, who was drunk from alcohol and bliss and had difficulties to walk even though he no longer was wearing his high heels. At one point he suddenly stood still, taking both of Sasuke's hands.
“Sakura would have felt like a gold medal”, he said. “You feel like a teddy bear”.
Sasuke had no idea whether this was a compliments or not. He decided to make the best of hit and drew Naruto into an embrace: this was what giant teddy bears were good for, weren't they? He enjoyed Naruto's weight against his body, and he enjoyed the feeling of protectiveness.
Naruto felt Sasuke's warmth and thought that this was really very different to Sakura's embrace after his victory against Pain.
