My one and only (sasunaru)

"Why do you keep looking over there?" The red head woman asked, fixing her glasses. She had a sour look on her face as she scanned the bar area filled with men and women. "You didn't get a girlfriend, did you?"

"Karin, leave Sasuke alone." Jugo, the muscular man beside her spoke.

"Stay out of it, Jugo!" Karin shouted while the latter just ignored her.

Sasuke tapped his foot anxiously while he watched the blond interact with some people, as he downed drinks after drinks.

"Somebody catch your eye?" Suigetsu asked, trying to trace the raven's eye. Sasuke sipped on an old classy martini and just kept an eye on the blond, looking over at him every once in a while.

Suigetsu spotted Naruto in the crowd, being all friendly and chatting with a few guys. He was positive that was the guy who had Sasuke's attention. So he decided to play with him, he excused himself before he walked over to Naruto. "I'll be back."

Sasuke suspiciously watched him alongside Karin and Jugo. They had knew him too well, he was up to no good. Sasuke's eye twitched as soon as he saw Suigetsu approaching his blond. They seemed to be hitting it off with each other because the next minute, Suigetsu was dragging him by his hand while Naruto tried his best to keep up steadily with a drink in his hand. "Hey! Slow down, I've got a full drink in my hand!" Naruto giggled playfully, not realizing the pair of onyx eyes watching them. Naruto suddenly spotted Sasuke, he gave a wide smile and understood where the guy was taking him. He seemed pretty tipsy, definitely had over the well average.

"Sasuke!" Naruto almost wanted to jump at the sight of this sexy man but took a look at his hand and decided the drink was more valuable. He sat on the edge of the couch, half sitting and half standing. "That guy over there paid for all my drinks, he's sooo nice—he said he knew you so I thought it was alright to rob him off." Naruto pointed at someone in the crowd. There stood a red head with piercing icy blue eyes and a tattoo on his forehead. Sasuke followed his gaze and took a note of Gaara, an old 'friend' of his. "He seems a little crazy but I guess he's just gay." He mumbled.

"That doesn't even make sense, I'm into women and men, and I'm not crazy." Karin arrogantly commented.

"You've got red hair and you wear glasses, trust me, you're definitely crazy." Naruto chuckled, sliding down to take a seat beside Sasuke.

"You're right about that part." Suigetsu added as the two giggled, giving each other high fives.

Sasuke watched Naruto and Suigetsu easily get along, often teasing Karin who clung to Jugo's arm like a scared little girl. Most of the times, she would yell at the man and let go of him, only to come clinging back whenever the two idiots pissed her off. Naruto ordered a few more rounds and was definitely over the limit he promised but Sasuke didn't mind letting him have a little fun. Misery in his words, because that's what he'd be feeling in the morning. The raven noticed how Naruto's mood faltered as he got drunker. At one point, he rested his head on Sasuke's shoulder, being all grumpy and annoyed. He had stopped talking with the rest of the group and was in his own little world. "Sasukeee! I'll be back, gotta get another round!" Just as he got up, Sasuke grabbed his hand.

"You've had too much to drink, you're not going anywhere but home." Sasuke got up and said his goodbye's before dragging the blond out of there.

"It's too early! I want the whoollleeee bottle this time!" He cried, trying to run away but the tight grip on his hand made him whine even more.

Soon enough, they were in the back of the car. Sasuke managed to convince him to shut up but that only worked for so long. Naruto reached out for Sasuke's arm, hugging it as he laid his head against the raven's shoulder. "S-Sorry for drinking so much—hic... I didn't mean to ruin your time with your friends..." He whispered, closing his eyes.

"I'd rather have you ruin my night than you go with anybody else." Sasuke answered.

Naruto laughed and snuggled against him even closer. "You suck at reassuring people—hic...maybe one day...I can teach you my ninja skills."

It was Sasuke's turn to chuckle at the blond. "Your ninja skills? What does that have to do with reassurance?"

Naruto paused, swaying slightly as he sat up straight. "You... hic... you just laughed!" he declared. Then, his face split into a big grin. "You look handsome when you smile! Like—like, really handsome! So you gotta smile more, 'kay? Not that you weren't already handsome—like, duh! But when you smile, it's like... BAM! Extra handsome!"

"I wouldn't tell you this sober—hic—or, uh, maybe I would? I dunno... I probably would. 'Cause you're, like... sexy and intimidating. Oh! GIRAFFES!" He threw his arms out dramatically.

Sasuke blinked, completely thrown. "What?"

"Giraffes, Sasuke! They're soooo tall and—and spotty! Like big... big neck towers! *sniffles* They're so cool, man!" Tears suddenly welled up in Naruto's eyes, and he started sobbing loudly.

Sasuke's brow furrowed, both flattered and alarmed. He hadn't even had time to process the "handsome, sexy, and intimidating" comment before this.

"And orange cats! I love orange cats! I think I look like a cat sometimes. 'Cause of my scars!" Naruto rambled, waving a finger in front of his whisker marks. "And my favorite color is orange, so it's like...cool and whatever. Don't you think so, Sas?!"

Sasuke just sat there, torn between pride and complete bewilderment. "...Yeah." He took a mental note to never let Naruto get drunk ever again. But for a split second, Sasuke paused, he turned to face Naruto. "Scars?" He looked closely in his face and almost missed the thin scars at the side of his cheek. Sasuke had very vividly remembered Naruto drawing whiskers on his face with a black pen ever since he was young, and all of a sudden he just...stopped. The raven had always thought it made him look odd but he quickly got used to it, because he, too, loved cats...and Naruto. "I thought you just grew out of your face painting phase, I never noticed they were scars."

"Ha... haha... yeahhh. So, uh, when I—hic—when I found my parents... uh, y'know, dead, I guess the... the dudes or whoever did it were still, like, there... and, uh, they saw me, right? And they, like... *snorts* decided to give me these  real-ass whiskers on my face. Like, with a slasher or whatever... so now I don't gotta waste, like, hic—money, y'know? Trying to, uh... redraw them and... anyway, kinda nice of them, right? But also, what the hell? 'Cause I swearrr... I was this close to... uh... like, a rash? Or... skin—skin infection! From... from all the ink I used before. So, good on that part—not so much on the other...stuff." He starts to laugh uncontrollably, not realizing how Sasuke's face lost all its color.

"Naruto, you're parents...are dead? But, you still post pictures of them on your social media-"

"Y-Yeah, I do that whenever I miss them." He gave a soft smile and hugged Sasuke's arm. "I'm going to-- hic... miss you."
