🎄 Christmas Specials Part 1- Naruto x Sasuke

*Author's Note*
This story takes place during Naruto Shippuden And is set during Christmas. Also, this is a Christmas themed story and has a slightly modern AU. And art does not belong to me it belongs to the original creator(s).

The inhabitants of Konoha village were taking a short break after the events of the past few months and were now celebrating the holidays. A certain group of shinobi was spending the day getting ready for a Christmas party.

Sakura walked down the steps of her home and shouted a goodbye to her parents as she rushed outside to meet up with Sasuke and Naruto. As she walked she saw her friends and even her old rival Ino, although they had put aside their differences in the past and were now close friends. After walking she finally reached Naruto's place where she knocked on the door. She could hear voices from outside and started to tap her foot impatiently as she waited for Naruto to come to the door. She was about to knock again before the door flew open and Naruto appeared.

"Took you long enough!" She snapped marching past him. Naruto absentmindedly scratched his head as Sakura put the bags she had been carrying down on his table. Naruto smiled as he heard another knock, Must be Sasuke he thought as he walked to the door. He cautiously opened it and Sasuke walked past him without a word, quietly depositing his things onto the table. Sakura smiled at Sasuke her eyes lighting up. 

"So, do you want to start decorating yet Sasuke?" She asked a slight blush forming on her cheeks. Sasuke looked back at Naruto and gave the room a quick look over. "I guess so," he answered back. Sakura gave him another smile and glanced at Naruto. 

"Come on Naruto we don't have all day!" She snapped as she grabbed Christmas lights from one of the bags on the tables. 

"Alright, alright! But I don't know why you picked my place, it'll be cramped."

"Just shut it and get to work!" Sakura huffed as she started putting up the lights. Sasuke smiled at his friend's bickering and used this moment to slip away to grab something he had completely forgotten, his gifts.

~Time Skip~ 

After a few hours, Sakura and Naruto's hard work had paid off. Naruto almost couldn't believe his eyes. His small apartment which had once been sparse and filled with old ramen bowls was now decorated to the brim with different Christmas decorations. The green and red lights gave the room a festive look along with the small pine tree that Ino had dropped off earlier, although she had gotten into a small argument with Sakura about which color ornaments to use, was in Naruto's mind it was perfect. He often wondered what it was like to spend the holidays with friends, and he had never been to a party before let alone hosted one. He was nervous as people started to file into the small apartment one by one. There was Christmas music playing softly in the background and Naruto smiled when the last person had walked through the door, it was Sasuke. 

The party went on for a few hours and people slowly started to leave. Naruto felt a hand touch his shoulder and he looked up to see Sasuke holding a small package wrapped in red and green wrapping paper. He smiled and carefully opened the package revealing something he did not expect, a small snow globe that captured the whole of Konoha, he shook the globe slightly and smiled as snow fell all around the miniature village. 

"Sasuke, it's beautiful. Thank you!" Said Naruto as he placed the snow globe on his counter. "But, I don't have a gift prepared for you, sorry I was so busy getting ready I-" Sasuke cut Naruto off with a wave of his hand, "There is one way you could make it up to me" He then gestured to the mistletoe that hung in the doorway. How did that get there? Sakura must've put it there, Naruto thought, his cheeks a dark red as he looked back at Sasuke. He gulped as Sasuke pulled him close. His eyes closed and he felt something soft envelope his lips, he pulled away quickly his face a blushing mess. 

"Merry Christmas," Sasuke said as he walked away, leaving Naruto with a trail of blood flowing from his nose.
