It was their day off and they had ended up in the bath with sasuke warning him to behave
Naruto wanted to say he always behaved but sasuke gave him a look and he said yes sir!
Currently he was in the tub, sasuke sitting between his legs, his head resting on his shoulder. Naruto promised no funny business so he just locked his hands on sasuke’s stomach and leaned back.
Hmmm….bliss…
They didn’t talk about anything in particular, in fact they didn’t talk at all.
Just being in each other’s presence and enjoying the silence until the water ran cold and they were forced to wash up and go.
They didn’t bother with towels and went straight to bed. Sasuke proceeded to dry naruto’s hair. His fingers felt amazing in his short hair. He just closed his eyes and hummed.
“I like your short hair.”
Naruto slowly looked up and stared at sasuke
“Really?”
Sasuke chuckled.
“Why wouldn’t i?”
“I don’t know. People thought i was going bald or something”
“Well screw people i think you look sexy!”
“Sexy?”
He asked unbelievably.
“Yeah.you knowl you look much more…mature.”
Naruto smirked at sasuke, showing his teeth.
“Ohhhh yes i surly am so mature”
“Well you did turn 30 today so you better be”
“Uhhh don’t remind me”
Sasuke let out a little scoff and continued with the task at hand.
Naruto let his wander a bit on sasuke’s skin but was soon stopped.
“Naruto…”
“What? I was just gonna show you my…adult side you know”
“We need to rest before we show up at the festival.”
“Hey…” naruto said as he turned around and took sasuke’s hand in his.
“We don’t have to go if you don’t want to”
Sasuke frowned at this, making little wrinkles appear on his otherwise perfect skin. ”don’t be stupid naruto.”
He offered nothing more and tried to reach for his hair once again.
Naruto planted a small kiss on his thumb and then let go. Finally fully giving in.
He couldn’t describe his feelings for sasuke even if he tried. People always rant about the sacrifices he made for sasuke and how grand they were, which…was true but they didn’t see these small things he did for him, away from their prying eyes.
Like how he always cooks for naruto so he doesn’t end up eating instant ramen, or how he writes little notes for him and put them in his lunch box(though he never admits he wrote them) or how he actually stayed.
The village that manipulated his brother to kill his entire clan, the village that took away his family, the village that stole his childhood…and he stayed for him.
Naruto could not imagine the pain that sasuke has to endure everyday by putting himself out there for the villagers to judge and side eye. So he silently promised himself to one day take sasuke out of konoha. He did like being the hokage and actually make change for the better but still…
It would be nice to live in a small house out in the mountains where it’s just him and sasuke. But Maybe they can get a cat.
His thoughts were interrupted when sasuke lightly kissed his ear.
“What’s on your mind nar’?”
He only ever used the nickname when he was in a particularly romantic mood and naruto cherished it with all his heart.
“Nothing baby, just thinking about the future and how wrinkly you’ll be when we get old”
“Ha! As if. I bet you’re gonna get wrinkles before me”
“No way. You’re older than me .so…”
“Only by three months! Also i have better genes.”
They bickered while getting ready and only stopped when naruto put his hands on sasuke’s waist pulling him closer and kissing him on the lips.
“I love you”
“What’s with you today? You’re so sappy.”
“Am i not allowed to spoil my husband a bit?”
He smirked and stared giving his neck small kisses up to his ear. He inhaled his hair and hummed in satisfaction.
“I love you too”
Came sasuke’s low voice. That only made naruto smile harder. That was a sentiment reserved for his ears and only his.
Not everything was perfect but as long as he had sasuke,well…how bad can it really be?
