Chapter Eighteen

"Okay, Sasuke! I'm gonna hang out with the guys!" "Okay! Be safe." "Will do!" Naruto left.

Fifteen minutes later...

"C'mon, Naruto. It's only one glass." They were trying to get him to drink Sake. "Nope. The last time I did that... I don't remember."

"Sissy Hokage! Sissy Hokage! Sissy Hokage!" "Okay. I'm fine being a sissy. But a Sissy Hokage?! I have to defend my title."

Naruto drank the rest of the bottle. "There. Happy?" Naruto hiccuped. "Oh no." "Look! He's drunk already."

"Excuse me sir? Can we get another bottle?" "Sure." "I'm not drinking anymore." "Would Sasuke date a sissy?" Naruto drank the whole bottle.

"You don't want Menma to think his father is a loser, do you?" Naruto drank the whole bottle again.

After about an hour of being pressured into drinking entire bottles of Sake, Shikamaru carried him home.

"Thank ya, Shika. I can *hiccup* take it from here." "You sure?" "Yeah." "Okay."

Naruto opened the door to his house. He took two steps and fell on the floor. "Naruto?" Sasuke walked over.

Naruto stood back up. "Oh. Hey, Sasuke. Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are? How do you not have a husband yet?"

"Were you drinking again?" "No. Yes! Uhh. Six bottles. Perhaps I said too much."

"How much of the bottles did you drink?" "The whole thing. Things." Naruto hiccuped.

"You drank all six bottles?!" Naruto hiccuped. "Hello?" "Hey beautiful." Sasuke picked him up and set him down on their bed.

"You really need to stop drinking." Naruto pulled Sasuke on top of him. "What are you doing?" Naruto snuggled his face against her chest.

"Naruto, let me go." Naruto fell asleep. Sasuke sighed and smiled. She rubbed his head.

"Mommy?" Menma was by the door in his pajamas. "Yes, sweetie?" "Can I sleep with you? I had a nightmare." Sasuke smiled.

She pat the bed, signaling for him to sit. Menma climbed on the bed and laid on top of his mother.

"Tell me about your dream." Sasuke patted his back. "I had a dream that you were falling off a building, and Daddy was too late to save you."

"Don't worry. That'll never happen. You know why?" Menma looked up. "Because Mommy is stronger than Daddy, and has to save him."

Naruto smiled.
