Work Text:
It’s only been in the last few years that Naruto’s started to care about his birthday. Growing up bouncing from foster home to foster home, his birthday was rarely at the front of anyone’s mind, least of all his own. Whether he was in a home already bursting with other children or taken in by people who cared more about the money they received than the children they had to care for, October 10th was just another day.
That all started to change when he met Iruka. The man - then just a teacher for him - who threw him a birthday party for his 16th year on a planet that never truly appreciated him. It was a party among all his classmates, everyone showering him with all the gifts and love he had deserved in all the years’ past.
That was the turning point where Naruto realized, ‘hey wait, today's my special day!’, and began to look forward to the usually dreary day.
Fast-forward a little bit, and it’s now (just barely) his 21st birthday.
And it’s once again a day he’s not looking forward to. Now, for the reason why he’s not looking forward to it...
Because his fucking boyfriend isn’t there to spend it with him, what the fuck.
No, no; Sasuke has to be away on business because he has a job, and the world decided to bring Naruto down a peg by having Sasuke be away today of all days.
That’s why, an hour into his birthday, Naruto’s alone in his and Sasuke’s bed, laying on Sasuke’s side with his legs spread open and a dildo halfway inside himself as he cries out of frustration, loneliness, and, fuck, an inordinate amount of horniness.
Because he is so. Fucking. Horny.
He’s lonely and misses Sasuke, that’s a given, but had said boyfriend not sent a picture of himself shirtless and in the middle of giving himself a hand job, Naruto wouldn’t be so horny. Seriously, who fucking does that?
What kind of asshole sends him a series of pictures in various levels of hardness, ending off with a shot of his chest splattered with cum and a lustful smirk on his face before ending with a simple ‘happy birthday’ text?
His fucking boyfriend, apparently.
Naruto had already been feeling lonely by that point, and if Sasuke thought his pictures were some sort of consolation for Naruto since he wasn’t going to see him, he was wrong. It only made Naruto miss him more, made him crave for his attention and presence in a way that hurt, physically aching for him.
...
That, and it made him thirst for his cock in a way he hadn’t felt...well, ever. It’s not that Naruto doesn’t want Sasuke every day of his life - because he does, god - but he’s never felt it with such intensity before, such fervour. And, in all honesty...? Fuck Sasuke, but also...fuck Sasuke. Or, more accurately, he wants Sasuke to fuck him.
He wants to be fucked, ravaged, absolutely goddamn railed by his boyfriend harder than he’s ever been done before. He wants to be filled to the brim with everything Sasuke has and then some. He just...
He just...
...he just doesn’t want to be alone. He really doesn’t.
It’s not that it’s just because it’s his birthday; at least, not in the way that would make him seem spoiled.
He doesn’t want to be alone because he’s already spent so many birthdays alone as a child. So many days that should have been special, been full of friends and family and fun, reduced to nothing more than a regular day with no acknowledgement, no presents or cake. So for Sasuke to be missing one - and a milestone one at that! - makes Naruto feel almost…unwanted. It’s a ridiculous thought based on nothing more than his own negative thoughts spiralling, but it’s still there. Still present in the back of his mind.
It’s not the end of the world - he had spent the day before with all his friends, them all being able to miraculously get the same day off - but it still hurts.
So, Naruto thought he could fill the void with a fake cock and the mental image of his boyfriend roughly taking him, of loving him in the best way either of them know how.
If only it would work.
Naruto lets out a groan of annoyance and takes the dildo out of himself, then holds it up to glare at it as if it’s the mastermind behind his loneliness.
“Why aren’t you working?!” He growls out, feeling himself blush with how ridiculous this is, but seriously, it’s just unfair.
Naruto grits his teeth and moves the dildo back down between his legs, now with a sort of grim determination. He lifts his legs up, plants his feet flat on the bed, slides the dildo back inside...thrusts it a few times...changes the angle...no, not there...
Off from the living room, Naruto hears the lock on the front door jiggle, then click. He freezes, his breath stopping in his throat and his heart seizing in his chest.
Someone’s in the apartment, and he’s completely alone.
...and he’s fucking naked with a dildo still inside him.
With his heart pounding, as fast - and as quietly - as he can, Naruto drags the dildo out of himself, then stands up and makes his way to the door. He swipes up a robe - Sasuke’s so it smells like him, and it makes him reel, a sob sticking in his throat because god damn it why is he alone - and a baseball bat he keeps just beside the door, precisely for situations like this. Sasuke’s always been annoyed by it, never quite getting used to it resting against the wall and getting irritated by how many times he banged the door against it.
Well, now who was paranoid, Sasuke? Not Naruto! He has an actual use for the baseball bat, so Sasuke can just shove it --
Wait.
Fuck.
He might have to use the fucking baseball bat.
Swallowing down a lump of fear, Naruto creaks open the bedroom door as quietly as he can manage and sticks his head out of the room to see if he can hear anyone walking around. He can’t - but what he can hear is the door opening. The bottom of it drags over the carpet and Naruto hears as every fucking millimetre of it brushes under the bottom of the door.
Despite the shakiness that has taken over, Naruto rushes out from the room and gets to the door as quickly as he can, the bat firmly in both hands and held up in front of his chest. He nearly skids to a stop just outside the - now open - front door and hoists the bat above his head, ready to crack it down over the intruder, but --
"Sasuke?!" He cries, his eyes widening at the sight of his boyfriend, the man staring at him with equally wide eyes.
“Naruto? What...why do you have the bat?” Sasuke asks, voice full of confusion. “Why are you still awake? It’s one o’clock.”
Naruto drops the bat to the ground, the metal of it clattering loudly, before he jumps at Sasuke and wraps his arms around his neck. "Sasuke! You’re back early!" He cries out, tightening his arms around Sasuke when his boyfriend wraps his arms around his waist. He buries his face in Sasuke’s shoulder, squeezing him now in a way that’s probably painful, but he doesn’t care. Sasuke’s back!
However, now with the rush of feeling like someone was breaking in leaving Naruto, he slumps against Sasuke’s chest and cries, his tears soaking the fabric of his button up. He holds onto Sasuke tightly, as if afraid someone’s going to take him from him. He cries out of fear, yes, but also out of relief, out of happiness, and out of love.
Sasuke hasn’t missed his birthday after all; Naruto doesn’t need to feel alone anymore.
After a minute of loud sobbing that wracks his whole body, with Sasuke holding him through it and rubbing his back, Naruto pulls far enough away that he can look at his boyfriend. Seeing him - really being able to look into his eyes - almost makes him cry again, but he takes a deep breath and calms himself. He laughs softly when Sasuke reaches a hand up to brush away his tears.
“I can’t believe you’re home, Sasuke! How’d you get back so early? Weren’t you supposed to be gone for another week?” He tilts his head so his cheek is resting in the palm of Sasuke’s hand, his eyes slipping closed at the warmth of his hand.
“Idiot...you didn’t really think I’d miss your birthday, did you?” He cracks a small smirk when Naruto opens his eyes, only to narrow them at him. Sasuke leans down to peck his lips. “I knew I didn’t need to be travelling the whole time; Itachi’s covering for me. I thought it would be nice to surprise you.” He rolls his eyes. “And it would be a surprise if you were sleeping the way you should be - hey! Why did you hit me?”
Naruto puffs his cheeks out and delivers another weak punch to Sasuke’s chest. “Because you made me think I’d be alone on my birthday, you jerk! Asshole! Basta- mmf!”
Naruto cuts off when Sasuke kisses him, pushing him further inside the apartment as he does so. “Do you mind not shouting things like that at one in the morning, Naruto?” Sasuke murmurs as they separate, resting his forehead against Naruto’s.
Naruto’s head is a little fuzzy from Sasuke’s kiss, so he just stares dumbly up at the other man before he yanks him down and slides his tongue into his mouth. Sasuke grunts in shock, but it quickly turns to a moan of pleasure when Naruto flicks their tongues together.
Distantly, Naruto thinks he hears Sasuke slam the door closed with a kick - oh, but that’s fine to do at 1AM? - but when Sasuke moves his hands from his waist to his hips and begins leading him to their bedroom, he finds he doesn’t care about noise anymore.
They’re going to be making more of it soon; hopefully, a lot of noise.
Their apartment is fairly small so they quickly make it to the bedroom, but they don’t make it to the bed. They’ve both barely stepped into the room before Naruto is pulling back from their kiss and sinking to his knees in front of Sasuke, shucking off his robe as he does so. Sasuke blinks down at him in shock, but arousal quickly grows when he feels Naruto hastily undo his belt.
“Naruto, what has gotten into you-”
“I need you, bastard.” Naruto interrupts, his voice a breathy hush. He pauses in un-belting Sasuke to look up at him, his eyes blown wide in his lust. “And I need you now.”
Sasuke throat bobs with a swallow, and Naruto bites back a small whine.
Fuck. He needs to be wrecked.
Naruto deftly undoes Sasuke’s belt and yanks his pants down to his ankles, his eyes locked onto the tent in Sasuke’s briefs. He leans forward and mouths at Sasuke’s covered cock, grinning when the other man grunts in surprise and bucks against his face. “God...” The raven mutters.
“Thanks, but I prefer ‘Naruto’, babe.” Naruto purrs, grin growing when Sasuke snorts and rolls his eyes at him.
“Dumbass.” He says, running a hand through Naruto’s hair.
Naruto’s eyes partially close at the action and he flicks his tongue out, teasing it over where the head of Sasuke’s cock is hidden. He repeats the action a few times before he reaches up and begins to draw Sasuke’s underwear down, impatient with himself.
Sasuke’s cock bobs out in front of his face and he barely stops himself from moaning. It’s right fucking there, so close...
Naruto wraps his hand around it and strokes Sasuke to full hardness, gazing up at his boyfriend as he does so. "It’s all your fault I’m like this, y’know. You sent me those pictures..." He trails off moodily, narrowing his eyes when Sasuke chuckles and runs a hand through his hair again.
"I thought they’d be a nice birthday gift." Sasuke says as a way of explanation, as if it’s a good enough reason to make Naruto want him so much that he cried.
As if pictures could ever compare to the real thing. A 2D representation could never do Sasuke’s cock justice, could never replace the weight of it in his hand; its girth almost too big for Naruto’s hand to wrap around, its length perfect to choke him...
Greedily, Naruto - after what feels like a small lifetime - takes the head of Sasuke’s cock inside his mouth and gives in a wet suckle. He laves his tongue over the tip and flicks it into the slit. He closes his eyes and moans at the bead of precum he tastes, too horny to even care how much of a slut it makes him sound.
Slowly, he moves his head down until Sasuke’s cock just tickles the back of his throat. Then, he makes a small hum. He hears Sasuke groans and feels him tighten his grip on his hair. He takes that moment to look up at his boyfriend, and he nearly cries at the look on Sasuke’s face. He’s gazing down at Naruto in near reverence, his eyes watching every movement he makes. Naruto moans again at the attention and slowly pulls off of him, using the tip of his tongue to tease into the slit as he does so. More precum pools on his tongue and he shudders, swallowing it down eagerly. He’s never cared much for the taste of cum, but now - slightly cock drunk - he’s wondering why he ever had an issue with it.
Sasuke’s grip in his hair tightens further, and Naruto moans when his boyfriend pushes him back down on his cock, loving the dominance of it.
But, Sasuke’s dominance has a time and a place, and right now, Naruto wants to set the pace. It’s his special day, after all.
So, he gives Sasuke’s thigh a tiny pinch and waits until his grip lessens before he begins to bob his head again, running his tongue along the underside and hollowing his cheeks out, but...something about it doesn’t feel like it’s good enough. Naruto’s normally incredible at sucking Sasuke off; being able to deep throat and use his tongue to map out his boyfriend's cock are two of his sexual skills he’s most proud of, but tonight it’s almost like he’s got the yips. He can’t get a solid rhythm going the way he usually does; he’s just going as fast as he can, licking anywhere he can reach, and, most shockingly of all, trying to not gag. Naruto doesn’t gag on cock; he takes it in like a champ, all the way to the base.
Naruto makes a pitiful whine and continues to try going down further, taking Sasuke in more, but all it does is make tears stream down his cheeks, leaving silver streaks in the faint moonlight lighting up the room.
Sasuke slowly drags him off his cock but Naruto shakes his head and whimpers, looking up at his boyfriend pitifully. He goes down again, almost managing to get it all in, but he gags again. This time, when Sasuke pulls him off, he doesn’t resist.
Naruto’s a mess, a mixture of precum and saliva dripping down his chin and tears trailing down his cheeks. He pants loudly, resting his forehead against Sasuke’s thigh as his boyfriend strokes the back of his head, his cock bobbing beside Naruto’s face.
“I-I don’t know why I’m so bad at this tonight, Sas, I-”
“Shh...” Sasuke shushes him, hand cradling the back of his head. “Just relax. You’re trying to take it in too fast.”
Naruto looks up at Sasuke, staring into his eyes as he tries to calm himself. He steadies himself with a few deep breaths before he closes his eyes and sits up taller, bringing his mouth back to be level with Sasuke’s cock. He lets Sasuke pull him forward and coax him to part his lips for his cock when he prods it against them.
Sasuke lets out a small groan when Naruto suckles on the head, rubbing his tongue roughly over the slit before flattening it as Sasuke slowly pushes inside him.
It’s not dominance this time; it’s guidance. Sasuke gently rocks into his mouth, setting a slower pace than Naruto was. He lets the blond get the rhythm for it before, moaning quietly at the feeling of his mouth on his cock.
“Fuck...” He whispers, getting Naruto’s attention.
He looks up, locking eyes with Sasuke as he finally - finally!!! - takes him all the way to the base, the head hitting the back of his throat. He swallows around it, his cock twitching at the low guttural moan Sasuke makes at the feeling. He moans too, unable to contain himself. Then, he begins bobbing his head in earnest, following the pace Sasuke guided him into. He finds he enjoys the slower pace, realizing he can truly savour it all this way.
And savour it he does.
The stretch of his lips, the ache of his jaw, the prodding to the back of his throat, the weight of Sasuke’s cock on his tongue, the stinging of tears in his eyes...Naruto missed all of it. At some point, he reaches down to stroke himself, whimpering and bucking into his own hand when he feels how hard he is, how much he’s leaking cum onto the floor beneath him. He deep throats Sasuke once more and stays there, looking up at his boyfriend as he blinks through tears and his throat spasms around the head of his cock.
Sasuke makes a sound low in the back of his throat - so primal it might as well be a growl - and uses the grip he has on Naruto’s hair to drag him off his cock. “Bed. Now.” He orders, but Naruto lets out a small whine and shakes his head, needily flicking his tongue into the slit of Sasuke’s cock, making the other man hiss and buck his hips. His cock hits Naruto’s cheek, leaving a trail of saliva and precum behind.
Naruto tilts his head back to look up at Sasuke, blinking away wetness in his eyes and poking his tongue out to tease over his lips.
“B-But Sas, you were so close-”
“And I’m going to cum while fucking you, not like this. Bed.”
A jolt of arousal shoots through Naruto and he scrambles onto the bed, making sure he’s laying on his back with his legs spread wide enough for Sasuke to kneel between them. Naruto bites his lip when Sasuke crawls onto the bed and moves over him, his bangs brushing over Naruto’s face. Naruto reaches up and tucks some hair behind Sasuke’s ear, then trails his hand down to rest on the side of Sasuke’s neck. In that moment, with moonlight shining in from the window and illuminating Sasuke’s face with gentle light and hiding it in delicate shadows, he’s so incredibly beautiful.
Naruto starts to cry again. He shakes his head and covers his face when Sasuke cups his cheeks, his brows furrowing in concern. He lets out a small, short laugh, not believing himself. "I-I’m fine, Sas." He moves his hands away and lets Sasuke grab his face in his hands. "Just...I really missed you and I was so sad when I thought you weren’t going to be home for my birthday, which sounds so selfish but I really, really wanted to see you, and-"
"Shh..." Sasuke shushes him before taking his lips in a kiss. "You don’t need to explain to me. I’m sorry I made you feel so lonely." He says as he strokes his thumbs over Naruto’s cheeks, gently swiping away his tears. "I was foolish to think it would be a nice surprise if I ended up coming home early for your birthday."
Naruto smiles and closes his eyes as Sasuke continues to press soft kisses all over his face. His forehead, cheeks, nose, temples, then finally ending with a feather-light kiss to his lips.
The love of it practically makes Naruto swoon.
"No, you’re right. It’s a wonderful surprise...I really wasn’t expecting it at all." He opens his eyes to look back up at his boyfriend, staring into his dark brown, almost black, eyes and taking in every detail of his face like he’s a divine portrait crafted just for Naruto’s viewing. Then, his smile grows a bit cheeky. "You could make me even happier if you stopped talking and started fucking me." He murmurs between them.
Sasuke chuckles softly and rests his forehead against Naruto’s, closing his eyes. “Mm, I bet I could…but where would be the fun in giving it to you so easily? Why shouldn’t I make you beg?”
Naruto makes a tiny hum and tilts his head to rub their noses together. “Because it’s my birthday and what I say goes.” He says, grinning when Sasuke gives a resigned sigh.
"I hate it when you’re right." He grumbles.
Naruto laughs quietly and presses a kiss to the hollow of Sasuke’s throat, his touch feather-light. He feels it when Sasuke’s heart stutters, his pulse jumping. Naruto smiles and looks up at Sasuke. He nudges his nose against the underside of his chin. "...kiss me." He murmurs, and Sasuke does, lovingly.
Now, Naruto lets Sasuke set the pace. The raven trails his hands down from Naruto’s face, caresses Naruto’s chest with a light touch to tease over his nipples. Naruto breaks away from their kiss to let out a breath, lifting up to press himself against Sasuke’s touch.
Sasuke moves down to kiss and nip at Naruto’s neck, smirking against his skin when the blond moans and tilts his head to expose more of the area to him.
“Mm, Sas...” He murmurs, biting his lip as Sasuke continues to leave soft bites to his skin. Then, he gasps when the raven wraps a hand around his cock and begins stroking him. “Ah!”
Sasuke chuckles softly, lifting his head up to look at Naruto. “You’re dripping.” He whispers, swiping his thumb over the head and smearing he precum there.
Naruto keens at the touch and bucks into Sasuke’s hand, giving a shaky nod. “I-I need you so bad, Sasuke...please...” He says, gasping when Sasuke squeezes the base of his cock. Then, something seems to catch Sasuke’s attention, and Naruto knows exactly what it is.
Naruto sees the moment Sasuke spots the dildo, his dark eyes widening just slightly before he smirks and reaches over the blond to grab it.
"My, my." He drawls, voice barely a hum. "Looks like you were trying to have fun without me."
Naruto feels his cheeks heat up when Sasuke turns his smug look to him but he pushes his embarrassment down and looks at Sasuke defiantly. “I didn’t really have a choice! It’s not like my fingers are good enough, and as far as I knew you weren’t going to be back...” He grumbles, pouting. “Besides, you sent me those pictures, and I-” Naruto cuts himself off by biting his lip. When he speaks next, it’s only a mere whisper. “I really, really, wanted your cock, and...I missed you...”
Sasuke’s smirk grows and he delivers one last soft nip to Naruto’s neck before he straightens up and looks down at him. He nudges his legs apart so Naruto spreads them further, the blond’s eyes locked onto Sasuke as his boyfriend takes off his remaining clothes. He throws his shirt and jacket to the floor, then scoots closer to Naruto, stopping between his thighs. He gently caresses one thigh with his free hand as he holds the dildo in the other, slowly questing it to Naruto’s hole...
“Sasuke...” Naruto breathes out, gasping and tilting his head back when Sasuke presses the tip against him before slowly pushing it inside.
“Mm...it went in so easily.” Naruto doesn’t need to see Sasuke to know the smug look he undoubtedly has on his face. “You really want it, hm?”
Naruto shudders at the lowness of Sasuke voice and he can only answer with a moan and an impatient buck of his hips. Sasuke chuckles and, after a moment, thrusts the rest of the dildo inside him, all the way to the flared base.
Naruto cries out and arches off the bed, pleasure spiking through his entire body. He looks to Sasuke with wide eyes, but they quickly roll back in his head as the raven begins fucking him with the dildo in the way that gave Naruto no pleasure before, but is now making his toes curl.
Naruto whimpers and throws his head back, trying his best to keep up with raven but he’s so fast, so fucking rough, that Naruto can only lay there and take it. Then, he hits his prostate, and Naruto sees stars.
Naruto pants and grabs onto Sasuke’s shoulders, digging his fingernails into his pale skin so hard he knows it hurts his boyfriend. Sasuke grits his teeth and looks down at him, a fire in his eyes.
Naruto gulps a deep breath, whimpering when Sasuke rubs the dildo against his prostate. “S-Stop!” He protests, writhing around under him. “C-Cock...I need your cock...” He slurs, looking at Sasuke with wide eyes. “I-I don’t want to cum like this...want you to make me cum...please...” He begs, relief and want flooding him when Sasuke looks down at him with lust in his eyes. “Please...” Naruto whispers once more; he’s rewarded by Sasuke slowly taking the dildo out and tossing it to the side.
Naruto’s left feeling empty as Sasuke grabs the lube he had left out and squirts some on his cock. The raven hastily strokes himself, spreading the lube around before he grabs Naruto’s thighs, lifts them up, and slides inside him.
Naruto nearly sobs with relief as he loops his arms around Sasuke’s neck, tugging him down to a messy kiss. “Y-Yes, Sasuke...oh my god...” He whispers against his lips, rocking his hips down against Sasuke.
Sasuke moans and tilts his head down, resting their foreheads together. “Fuck, you feel so good, Naru.” He says, hands gripping Naruto’s thighs hard enough to leave bruises. He thrusts inside shallowly, both men drawing in sharp breaths. “I won’t last too long like this, shit...” He growls, staring down at Naruto.
Naruto wobbly nods in agreement, wrapping his legs around Sasuke’s waist. “M-Me neither, but I don’t care...fuck me hard...I-I need it- Sasuke!” He cries out when Sasuke pulls out only to ram back inside with no warning, his cock filling Naruto more than the dildo ever could, stretching him out the way he’s been craving.
Sasuke manages to let out a strangled chuckle at his reaction before he sets his pace; fast and hard, exactly what Naruto’s been begging for. Soon, the sounds of skin slapping and Naruto crying out, gasping, babbling absolute nonsense as Sasuke fucks into him fills the room, which is all music to Sasuke’s ears.
But, true to what he said, he feels his orgasm fast approaching; with the way Naruto’s clenching around him, he knows the blond isn’t too far behind him. Knowing that, he slows down the slightest bit, changes the angle of his thrusts, until-
“Yes!” Naruto exclaims, bucking down into Sasuke desperately and sobbing when his cock hits his prostate again. “Right there, right there...” He chants, eyes nearly rolling back in his head.
Then, Sasuke moves one hand to wrap around his cock, and Naruto fucking screams.
Sasuke growls at the sound and picks up his pace again, stroking Naruto in time with his thrusts and sucking hickey after hickey onto his neck, marking up the blond’s neck in a way to show everyone who sees him that Naruto is his.
Naruto whimpers and grabs a fistful of Sasuke hair, yanking the raven up to give him a desperate kiss and gasp into his mouth that he’s cumming, that he loves Sasuke so much and that he’s cumming, oh god he’s cumming --
Naruto arches off the bed, his hole spasming around Sasuke’s cock as his orgasm rips through him, taking his breath away as he splatters both his and Sasuke’s chests and abdomens with his cum. He buries his face in Sasuke’s neck, gripping his shoulders tightly as Sasuke’s hips stutter then still as he’s balls deep inside Naruto, his warm cum spilling into him.
Then, boneless, Naruto melts into mattress beneath him and tries to catch his breath, his chest heaving. Sasuke slumps on top of him, his forehead resting against Naruto’s shoulder. The raven recovers faster and, much to Naruto’s displeasure, slips out of him and rolls onto his side, tugging Naruto with him. Still panting, Naruto nuzzles his face against Sasuke’s chest and curls up against him.
“Wanted you...to stay inside...” He manages to mumble, his eyes slipping closed.
Sasuke lets out a soft laugh and presses a kiss to Naruto’s forehead. “That’s gross, koi.”
Naruto makes a quiet sound of appreciation and smiles tiredly at Sasuke. “Koi? You never call me pet names. You hate them...” He trails off, yawning.
“I do, but you like them.” He smiles as Naruto snuggles up against him. “Happy birthday, Naruto. I love you.” He whispers, pressing another kiss to Naruto’s forehead.
“Mm...love you too, Sasuke.”
That’s the last thing Naruto says before falling asleep.
※※※※※
When Naruto wakes up the next morning, he does so alone, and he wonders if maybe Sasuke coming home early had all been a dream. When he stretches and feels a familiar ache in his muscles and pleasant soreness in his behind, he knows it wasn’t. But then...where is Sasuke...?
Naruto’s just sitting up as the door opens and Sasuke walks in, holding two steaming mugs. Even though he’s feet away, Naruto holds his arms out to him, beckoning him over, a soft pout on his face. Sasuke rolls his eyes and hurries over, setting the mugs down on Naruto’s side table before crawling onto the bed.
“Sorry for being a good boyfriend and making you tea in the morning.” He drawls as he settles back into bed beside the blond, pulling him into his arms.
“You could’ve waited until I was up! I hate waking up alone...” He grumbles, resting his head against Sasuke’s shoulder.
Sasuke just sighs and wraps an arm around his shoulder. “If you keep acting like a brat, I’m not going to give you any of your presents.”
At this, Naruto immediately perks up, pulling away to look at Sasuke excitedly. “No way... Presents!” He says, grinning. “You got me some? Really?”
Sasuke raises a brow. “It’s your birthday, dumbass. Of course I did.” Sasuke pulls back from Naruto and walks out of the room. He comes back a minute later, holding a small pile of gifts. He sets them down on the bed but shoos Naruto away from them. “Not yet. Close your eyes.” He instructs. Naruto pouts, but does so. He hears Sasuke leave the room again, and when he comes back he hears him place something down on what sounds like the floor. “Okay; open them.” Sasuke says, climbing back onto the bed. He shakes his head and holds out a present when Naruto asks why he had to close his eyes. “Be patient.”
Naruto looks at him pleadingly, but when Sasuke playfully tries to take away the present he’s currently holding out, the blond laughs and takes it from him. “Fine, fine.” He says, grinning at his boyfriend.
His grin gets him a tiny smile from Sasuke. “Not all of these are from me; some are from my parents and one is from Itachi.” Naruto looks at the gifts in surprise.
“Really? Even your dad got me one?”
Sasuke nods softly. “The one I just gave you.”
Naruto looks at the present in his hand and begins to slowly unwrap it. They’re so perfectly done up - most likely by Mikoto, judging by how neat they are - that he would hate to tear into them. When he gets rid of the gift wrap, he finds a ramen bowl with a pair of matching chopsticks. He snorts and shows it to Sasuke, laughing when the raven groans quietly.
“He really knows only one thing about you, Christ.”
Naruto smiles and carefully sets it down beside his tea, which he then grabs and takes a sip of. “I’m just glad he doesn’t hate me anymore.”
“He never-”
“Hated me? Babe, he did.” He quickly waves Sasuke off when he looks like he wants to protest further. “Why’d you make me tea, anyway?” He asks as he sets it back down, reaching for another gift.
Sasuke cracks a smirk as he reaches over to grab his own mug. “Figured it would feel nice on your throat.”
Naruto blushes faintly but grins and leans over to peck Sasuke’s cheek. “Thanks.” He says, then begins opening the next gift Sasuke hands him. “Who’s this from?”
“My mum.” Sasuke says, placing two more wrapped gifts and a bag near him. “These are all from my mum.” He says, deadpan.
Naruto laughs in delight and quickly opens them all, revealing a book of Japanese recipes (he is dreadful at cooking and always says he misses Mikoto’s food), a clay figurine of a nine-tailed fox (a little bit bigger than his palm) a pair of sapphire stud earrings, and a pair of orange hand knit mittens with a matching orange toque and scarf. Naruto beams and tries on the mittens.
“She finally learned how to knit? Wah, they’re so warm...” He marvels, looking at Sasuke softly. He sighs happily when Sasuke leans in to kiss his cheek.
“You should have seen how happy she was when she gave me all your presents.” He murmurs, a small smile on his face. Then, he hands Naruto the last gift on the bed.
“Is this from you?” Naruto asks as he accepts it.
When Sasuke nods, Naruto takes off the mittens and opens it fast as he can, wrapping be damned. When he sees what it is, Naruto gasps and looks at Sasuke, his eyes wide. “Is...is this...?” He questions, holding the gift like it’s the most precious thing he’s ever owned. It is, in a way, because it’s a photo album, with him and his parents on the front, him as an infant cradled in his mother’s arms with his fathers arm wrapped around her shoulders. They’re both looking down at Naruto, smiling at him with pure love on their faces.
Sasuke nods softly. “It is. It’s a picture album. I, uh...” He glances away, the tips of his ears tinging pink. “I talked to Kakashi about it because I know he knew your dad, and him and Jiraiya found all the pictures they could and put them all together. So...I guess it’s more from them than it is from me, but-” Sasuke cuts himself off when Naruto wraps his arms around him tightly, nuzzling his face against his shoulder.
“Thank you so m-much.” He whispers, sniffling. “I-I’ve never had so many pictures of my parents all at once...”
Sasuke stretches his arm to place his tea down so he can hold Naruto to his chest. “I know.” He says softly, running his hands up and down Naruto’s back. He pulls Naruto onto his lap and rests his chin on his shoulder, cradling Naruto as the blond looks down at the album, tears in his eyes. He sniffles again and looks up at Sasuke. “I...I think I’ll wait to open it.” He offers a small smile. “I need to prepare myself for it.”
“Of course, love. Anything you need.” Sasuke murmurs then kisses Naruto’s cheek, making Naruto’s heart leap in his chest. He blushes faintly and sets the album aside, looking at Sasuke curiously.
“Did you say Itachi got me a gift, too?”
Sasuke nods. “He did.” He reaches over the edge of the bed, and when straightens back up he’s holding a bonsai tree. Naruto’s mouth forms an ‘o’ and he acceps it when Sasuke holds it out to him.
“No way...he remembered I mentioned wanting one of these!” He smiles brightly, rotating the small pot around to get a view from each side of the tree. “A little fig tree...” Naruto murmurs, his eyes practically sparkling.
“...there’s one more gift.” Sasuke says quietly, getting Naruto’s attention.
Naruto looks away from the tree and to his boyfriend, shocked at the nervous expression on his face. Nervous and Sasuke don’t go together; they’re like oil and water.
“There is?” Naruto asks, cocking his head slightly.
“Yeah, it’s uh...it’s this.” Sasuke reaches into the pocket of his sweatpants and pulls out a key. When he hands it to Naruto, the blond notices his hands are shaking and when he takes the key from Sasuke, he feels that his fingers are cold. Naruto’s brow furrows; Sasuke’s not just nervous, he’s scared.
“A key? What’s this for?” Naruto asks, turning the key around as if the answer for its usage will jump out at him. It’s entirely unadorned, just plain silver metal; no clues to go off of.
“It’s...it’s for our home.”
Naruto blinks in confusion, looking back at Sasuke. “You changed the locks? Why?”
For a moment, Sasuke just stares at him; then, he cracks a tiny smile and brings Naruto into a kiss. “God, I love you.” He whispers, their lips brushing against each other with each word.
Naruto smiles softly, baffled. “I love you, too. But...babe? Why’d you change the locks?”
Sasuke’s smile grows and he shakes his head. “I didn’t change the locks. I...I bought us a home, Naruto.” His smile falls as his nervousness creeps back in. “The, uh...the one that’s for sale near Iruka’s. You said it was perfect and that you’d love to live somewhere like that, so...so I bought it. It’s ours. It’s our home.”
Naruto’s mouth drops open and he stares at his boyfriend in shock. He bought him, them, a home...for Naruto’s birthday? Is he serious? A home?
He bought Naruto a home for his birthday???
“Please say something.” Sasuke mumbles, his eyes searching Naruto’s face desperately. “Please, I...even if you think I shouldn’t have done this-”
Naruto bursts into tears and Sasuke has a horrifying thought, for just a moment, that he’s made a horrible mistake. Then, Naruto leans in and kisses him and Sasuke knows he’s never made a better decision in his life.
“‘S-Shouldn’t have done this’?” Naruto asks incredulously when he pulls back, tears streaming down his cheeks. “I...I-I couldn’t have asked for a-anything better!” He says, smiling even though he’s still sobbing. “I-I...Sasuke...this is...” He starts then stops, starts then stops; no words are adequate for this moment.
Sasuke cups his cheeks, blinking tears out of his eyes and pulling Naruto into another kiss. “Fuck...I was so worried you’d think this was too much. I’m so relieved.” He says between kisses, looking at Naruto with all the love in the world.
Naruto gazes back at him, dropping the key so he take Sasuke’s hands off his cheeks, instead lacing their fingers together.
“I...I don’t even know what to say...thank you obviously, but...oh my god. A home!” He says, laughing through his tears. He leans forward, pressing his forehead against Sasuke. “You’re the best boyfriend ever, and this is the best birthday ever. Ever ever ever.”
Sasuke smiles softly and squeezes his hands. “You deserve, it Naruto. I love you, and happy birthday, again.”
Naruto answers back with a kiss.
I love you, to o.
