Chapter Text
Now listen here folks, the one thing about me. Uzumaki naruto is…that I am one stubborn guy. That explains why right now sasuke is blocking me from the main door. Fun.
“Let me go!” I yell at this asshole. Hands snake up around my waist and hold me tight “no way! You’re not well naru!” Sasuke yells back at me. I let out a sigh and stop the struggling. It’s true…my body does hurt…i feel lightheaded and my chakra coils feel like they are on fire though I’ll be dammed if I tell anyone.
“Look…ke…” the nickname spills from my mouth. “I know alright, im not in top condition but I can’t just let you go” I don’t know what face im making…frankly I don’t want to know. Sasuke a face contorts into a grimace…is that sadness too? “Naru…” he trails off. I reach a hand up and touch his soft soft unscathed face “I won’t fight. Let me just be near…I’ll stay hidden..please” I whisper, my voice leaking with emotion
Sasuke looks away for a minute and sighs “fine…” I let out a laugh and hug him tightly…as hard as I can…which…isn’t really hard anymore.
“Alright alright stop clinging idiot!” His soft voice rings out. I let go and chuckle. “We going to town first?” I tug on my gloves, bringing them up more “hn”
In Uchiha ways, that means yes.
—————————————
I like tea more than I like coffee. Odd for me right? Uzumaki naruto, liking tea?! Well yeah I do. I nurse the warm cup in my scarred hands. Looking out the tea house window. Sasuke in front of me holding a very very sweet cup of coffee.
“Darling-“ I totally didn’t blush “we need names…new identity’s..” his voice rings out, I look around the shop. It’s safe, No customer other than us and nobody secretly watching. “Probably need backstory’s too” sasuke tells me.
I look at his face. Skin so beautiful, those orbs so deep, do I even deserve th- “naru” im cut out of trance. “Sorry sorry” sasuke eyes me with worry but doesn’t comment. “We do…hm…how about” I start to mumble, sasuke lets out an amused hum. “Oh! How about my name be kyu Uzumaki…barely escaped the uzushio destruction and has been a rouge ninja along side his best friend-“ I wink “since childhood, I’ve been collecting the last remaining culture and preserving the artifacts of my clan…while being taken in by a kind old ninja who taught me my ninja Arts and that’s where I met my best friend…and have been together since. Looking for a home and a better world to live in”
I pause from my speech and look at sasuke “how was that?” He lets out hn and claps his hands softly- oh how I want to keep holding thos- “I like it, so I’ll be…Kei Uchiha. Part of the few konoha family’s that lived in uzisho. I was there during the attack…but as kyu said I was too young to be registered into the Uchiha family tree…my older brother helped me escape. We were together for a few years but when I was very young he was killed. I vowed to never be weak and get revenge. That’s when that man who took kyu in found me, seeing a lone child alone made him bring me in to his family. A year later he brought kyu in and I met him for the first time. We Instantly became rivals and later best friends-“ he winks so sexily to me “we have been traveling and fighting together. I helped kyu find his artifacts whereas I got stronger and took out the person who killed my brother…from then on we’ve been working for good only.”
I clap my hands. Sasuk- i mean kei looks at me smugly “I think my backstory is better kyu-“ “shut the fuck up” “yes dear” I go to retort back but we instantly tense up
“He’s near” I whisper
“Kakuzu…” kei whispers and gets up “darling- wait-“ i hastily says, I’ll be able to sense their chakras from here…but just in case…I put a seal on sasuke hand “kyu-“ “I know! Just…just for me?” The seal will be able to teleport me to kei if he seems to be dying…Kei looks at me with a small smile, sad eyes glistening with guilt. His hand with the seal grips mine. Bringing it to his lips. Kissing my scared knuckles
“I’ll be back darling” he whispers
“I know…I know…”
