The Fate in us || SasuNaru Fanfic || (1/5) ||

Roommates (2)

I look down at the paper in front of me, the scrawled letters entering my brain once more. Yep, this is certainly the place that Grandma Tsunade said to go to. I look up at the iron gates surrounded by hidden leaf genin. "This is a little too much, don't ya' think, Hinata?" We turn our heads to look at each other before she finally responds in a small, soft voice. "I agree, it seems a little big for the two of us, but then again, Tsunade-Sama never disappoints." I chuckle before walking up to the gate with my duffel, Hinata following close behind me. The genin smile at me and wave as we walk through, even though I smile back, I don't feel much at all. I decided to keep it after all.

I walk up to the doorway to see no other than Mr. Hyuga standing there with a grin on his face. Once he saw me, he kinda just nodded his head while waiting for Hinata. I walk on past him to the kitchen, Tsunade sitting at the table waiting for me. "Hey, brat." I flash a sly smile before frowning. "I know, Naruto, you don't want to be here, you want to be at home, but it'd be a lot safer here."

"I know," I bellow before throwing my bag down on the table. "I could call down Sasuke, he doesn't have to know anything just yet. You're not showing so for the time being, if you don't want to share anything with anyone but still see them, you can. I'm not going to ban you from seeing your friends because I want you to be happy, Naruto." I smile a sad smile. The thought of Sasuke coming over here is gut wrenching and makes me sick to my stomach or maybe that's just morning sickness, there is no differentiating features between the two.

While I don't want Sasuke over here, I think that I need him. You see, before I ever slept with him and got into this whole mess, he was my best friend, the one that I could depend on. Of course, that was Sakura too, but it was somehow different with Sasuke, but that's because I was and still am head over heels in love with him. Now that everything has become so real, I just want him so badly that it hurts, I just need him. "Please, if you could get Sasuke, that'd be great. Don't tell him anything though, we can save that for another time." She nods before walking outside to talk to one of the genin.

Yes, Sasuke was my best friend and that's why it's so scary to have this happen to me because if he doesn't want a kid with... me, then our friendship is over and I don't think I can deal with that. Sasuke has said since the beginning that he will revive his clan, that there's no doubt about it, so of course he'd be thrilled about a baby, but would he be thrilled about a baby... with me? That's the scariest question I've ever asked myself and not knowing the answer is driving me nuts.

Tsunade walks back in, smiling gracefully at me from a small distance. "I've sent someone to get him and take him here, but if you don't mind me asking, why do you want him over here?" My hands begin to shake and my palms begin to sweat. "Because, I need to know if I can depend on him. Whether that means as a friend or lover to me, or if it means a dad to this baby, I need to know. This doesn't mean that I'm going to tell him about it just yet, it just means that I need to come out to him and make sure that he's 100% involved with me." She laughs which irritates me a little. "Oh come on, Naruto. Do you really think he's not okay with you being gay? He slept with you for christ's sake! Even if it was some mistaken drunken gay sex and he doesn't like guys, he would never shame you for liking guys! You two have known each other since diapers, your moms knew each other, and now, whether he likes it or not, you're both having a kid together, so he's going to be 100% in because we are not spending another however many years on a man hunt for Sasuke again!" I smile softly. "Thanks, Grandma Tsunade."

"You're welcome, brat," she says as she walks away down a long hallway before running back to tell me something. "Oh and by the way, your room is down the hallway past the kitchen, 3rd room to the right." I smile and wave to her goodbye as she dashes down the hallway again. I get up and walk toward the hallway Tsunade just went down, the one with my supposed bedroom/living space. I pass by the first and second door, each labeled. The first one's labeled 'empty' and the second one labeled 'Sakura' . They gave Sakura a room? Suddenly I'm at the third door and I see my name etched across the small blackboard decorated with an Uzumaki symbol pinned on one corner and the Uchiha symbol on the other. I latch my hand onto the knob and twist it, the metal rattling before the door gives in, opening up into a relatively sized room, probably a tad bit smaller than my lodging house when I was a genin. The room has a few posters, one of my dad that I really like and a few other ones with inspirational quotes and ninja stars that I'm not a huge fan of. There's a small bookshelf with some comics and jutsu handbooks that look cool next to a pale orange loveseat and coffee table on top of a light grey rug. It feels like home. The room is painted a warm grey and the bedspread is a nice bluish grey that I don't entirely hate or love. I look around and think to myself before getting sorta dizzy and sitting down on my bed which is quite comfy I might add. That's when I hear the front door open and suddenly I freeze.

I listen as I hear footsteps coming from the kitchen getting closer until there's a shadow outside of my door. I hear a knock, one I presume is coming from Sasuke. I breathe in and then out, not really feeling as if it's helping. "Come in!" I say weakly and so he does. He walks in, closing the door behind him and taking a seat next to me. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me in for a hug, a long, lasting hug that feels kinda nice. I smile. "Hey, Dobe." He ruffles my hair and smiles at me before leaning his head on my shoulder. This makes it so much harder to keep this weight of the world secret and I feel like crying my eyes out and curling up in a hole. "Now, Naruto, what's wrong?"

"Wrong? Nothing's wrong!" I lie through gritted teeth and fake smiles, though he knows me better than that. "If nothing was wrong, you wouldn't be here, you'd be at home or at the ramen shop or on a mission, but instead you're here with me, smiling even though you're not happy." I let my smile fade away in an instant and instead my once smiling lips begin to quiver. I want to tell him, but I'm so scared, so scared that I'll lose him, I want to scream it out loud to the world and tell everyone that I'm Sasuke Uchiha's guy, that I'm his, but I'm not and I can't.

"I-i can't tell you." I mentally smack myself in the face. It hurt so much to tell him that, it hurt so badly that it feels like a burn or cut that's way too deep to ever fully heal. I can't do this, I thought I could but I really can't and someday it's going to kill me. "That's alright, Naruto, if you're not ready you don't need to tell me." I smile. I should've known, hell I've know him forever you would think that I know him well enough by now to know that he would never purposefully hurt me. A tear falls down my cheek and suddenly everything feels possible.
