Flowers, tattoos and I love you's

Sasuke found himself surprisingly enjoying the party more than he expected. Had he come alone, he doubted he'd be having as much fun, but with Naruto by his side, everything seemed more bearable, even enjoyable. The blond handed him a few drinks to try, knowing Sasuke had never tried alcohol due to his parents' strict rules.

After that, they took to the dance floor, Sasuke reveling in the closeness to his boyfriend while Naruto admired how his boyfriend gracefully declined all the requests for dances from other partygoers. Initially, Naruto felt a surge of anger whenever someone approached Sasuke for a dance, especially since many of them had already witnessed them dancing with someone else.

His possessiveness over Sasuke sometimes bordered on the edge, but it wasn't out of a creepy possessiveness, rather, he simply wanted to keep Sasuke within his sight, like any protective partner would.

Naruto was, of course, very aware that Sasuke's godly-like looks, his amazing ass, and his seductive aura drew people in like a moth to a flame. Yet, beneath the surface, Naruto simmered with the desire to punch the life out of every person who dared cast a predatory glance at the love of his life. To them, Sasuke might be nothing more than a conquest, a one-night stand waiting to happen.

The Uzumaki was fully aware of their intentions, he knew what was on their minds. They didn't truly see Sasuke for who he was or desire a genuine connection with him. And even if they had the best intentions, Sasuke was strictly off-limits. Like hell, he was gonna let those fuckers sink their claws into him.

"Baby, is there something wrong?" Naruto's arms encircled the raven's waist, his lips pressing gently against the crown of his head.

The raven shook his head, nestled against Naruto's chest. "Not really. Why?"

"You're being clingy. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I just worry about you." He clarified, their bodies swaying in harmony with the smooth rhythm.

"Father called me." Sasuke let out and the blond felt him tense up under his grasp.

"He did? When?"

"An hour ago or so." Sasuke estimated.

"What did he want?"

"He wants me to go to New York with them during spring break."

"What?!" Naruto pulled away to look at Sasuke who grunted in protest, not wanting to be separated from the comforting hold. "When exactly are you going?" The blond surveyed in hopes it wouldn't overlap the date of their 5th month anniversary.

"Not sure. Probably the last day of school or the next day, he didn't specify." The raven explained, avoiding delving into details for the moment, before burying his face back into Naruto's chest. "Now hold me, idiot."

"I'll miss you a lot, baby." Naruto whispered into Sasuke's ear, tightening his embrace.

"It's only two weeks, idiot." Only two weeks...just 14 days...336 hours. In theory, it didn't seem like a lot of time, but they had become so deeply attached to each other that even one day apart felt like an eternity.

I'll miss you too, idiot.

"Too long." Naruto murmured, clutching his boyfriend tighter causing the other to reciprocate the embrace with equal force. With only a few days left before spring break, he decided to savor every moment he had with Naruto, knowing he would likely miss him more than he anticipated. "Too fucking long." Naruto echoed in a baby-like voice, and Sasuke found it so endearing that he couldn't resist kissing the hell out of his boyfriend.

Naruto gasped in surprise but quickly surrendered to the kiss, eagerly delving his tongue into Sasuke's mouth to explore its depths. The blond's hands began exploring Sasuke's body, sensing the kiss grow heated between them. "Naru." He breathed against his lips. "Need you, now."
