Catching Up... | SasuNaru

Naruto waited patiently for Sasuke to arrive. Next to him were two of his friends, Shino and Kiba. Already halfway to being wasted, Kiba asks, "where is that asshole? He's never on time." His words were slurred as he leaned on Shino.

"Okay...we need to get you home." Shino giggled. He was able to hold his alcohol a lot better than Kiba. Luckily, Akamaru was at home and they didn't have to take care of him at the moment. "Naruto, will you be okay? I need to get this one home."

Naruto clenches his glass and nods, "I'll be fine. He should be on his way soon."

Shino carries Kiba on his back as Kiba continues to rant about how much he hates Sasuke for leaving Naruto. Naruto just chuckles at that.

Even tho Kiba was shitfaced, maybe he had a point. Sasuke doesn't really deserve any of Naruto's time. After everything they've been through just to bring him back to the village. But Naruto needed to tell him this. He's been holding this in for years. He's not sure how he'll even take it, but now is a good time as any.

Naruto has downed three shots of the bar's 'special' drink. He's not sure what's really in it but he thinks he should stop drinking it. The blush on his face is very prominent but he's very conscious of where he is.

Just then, Sasuke walks in and finds Naruto's signature orange sweater. He sits next to Naruto without even saying a word.

Naruto happens to look over and he's startled at the fact that Sasuke is sitting next to him without a word.

"You scared me."

"Why did you call me here?"

"'Hey Naruto. It's been so long, I haven't seen you in three years. How's life?' 'Oh thank you for asking Sasuke, I've been well, you know, only running the entire village. Barely getting any time to myself, missing my best friend, but you know, I'm fine. I'm really fine.'" He sarcastically has a one-sided conversation.

"Are you done?"

Naruto pouts and sighs, "...how have you been?"

"I've been fine. Your messenger hawk sent me a message saying you wanted to meet."

"Yes. This really isn't the environment I wanna tell you in. Meeting in a bar is so cliché." Naruto stands, "Follow me."

Naruto and Sasuke leave the bar and walk.

"Where are we going?"

"You have so many questions Sasuke. You'll know when we get there."

"It's almost two o'clock in the morning. What do you possibly have to tell me at this hour?"

"Patience. Something you never had. Even when we were kids."

Soon they end up in the Hokage's office.

"Why are we here?"

"I wanted to be somewhere comfortable. Please, have a seat."

Sasuke sits and crosses his arms.

"How do you like your new arm? Shikamaru's team did a good job with it."

"I like it. Thank you."

"Sure. Anything for my best friend."

"What-"

"Let me see it."

Sasuke leans over the desk and presents his arm to Naruto.

"Shikamaru said you can feel with this arm. It's prosthetic, but it has almost all of the feeling of a real arm." Although it's wrapped in bandages, Naruto caresses Sasuke's arm and slightly squeezes it, "This is amazing."
