AN: I spent Monday out all day. Didn’t really get on the computer to do much. Tuesday and Wednesday was all about the exhaustion and pain because on Saturday I had an epic flail going on. My leg, hip and shoulder is still sore by the way.
Yesterday was spent at the hospital or sleeping off cold medicine so…
But yes, I do have the requests for bits and pieces open!
*~*~*~*
“Naruto, love, what are you doing?” Naruto looked up at Neji and smiled before turning back to the cake that he had been carefully crumb coating.
“Making Shino’s birthday cake,” Naruto stated, smiling as he finished the crumb coating. “I’m going to put on a glaze since he dislikes most frostings,” he admitted as he put the bowl to the side.
Neji hummed, eyeing the bowl of chocolate pieces that hadn’t been melted yet along with the pot of water on the stove. “Why are you making a cake?” he asked.
“Sasuke called me from the bar,” Naruto said, wincing as he thought of his friend who had opened a bar after he had become a chunin. The man still did his missions, but he ran a bar that allowed people to relax in safety. But for Shino to go to the bar was something hard. “The Aburame elders are getting twitchy about him having a wife and children, never mind the fact that he doesn’t want women,” he said, shaking his head.
Neji groaned and picked up the bowl of chocolate, adding a bit of cream to the chocolate pieces. “Yeah, he does deserve something tasty, doesn’t he?” he sighed, putting the bowl on top of the pot, watching it. Naruto just sent him a smile as he put the cake into the refrigerator. “Are you doing anything else?”
“Just a simple dinner to suck up any alcohol his bugs don’t dispel,” Naruto replied as he pulled out the chicken and vegetables. “You know his hive gets grumpy when he doesn’t eat after drinking. And the elders always drive him to drink.”
Neji huffed and nodded, stirring the chocolate as it started to melt as Naruto cut up the chicken and vegetables to make a stirfry. Shino walked in with a quiet greeting, sitting down when Naruto’s clone shooed him to a seat at the table. Neji had just finished pouring the chocolate over the cake and set it aside to set while they ate. The clone popped while Naruto put food down in front of his lover, taking his own seat with Neji.
“One day I’m going to commit murder,” Shino stated.
“Familicide? Bit of a desperation move,” Neji said in response. Naruto pulled a face before rolling his eyes.
“At least he isn’t considering patricide. His mother would string him up if he did,” Naruto said, wiggling his chopsticks at his lovers. “Come on. Eat. Then you can take a nap, Shino, and when you get up, we’ll eat some cake.”
Shino looked over at his lover and raised an eyebrow, violet colored eyes staring at him. “Oh?” he asked.
Naruto just smiled and waved his chopsticks again. “After lunch and a nap. You need to sleep off the alcohol. Just tell your mother that the elders are trying to break my heart by forcing you into an unwanted marriage and let her loose,” he drawled.
Shino blinked before smirking softly. “I can do that. I’ll take video,” he promised, turning back to his lunch. After they ate, Neji shooed them to bed, saying that he would wake them in a couple of hours but had his own paperwork to do.
After waking them up, Neji cut the cake and they pressed Shino between them while they enjoyed the chocolate cake with chocolate topping. Shino, unsurprisingly, was the first to break since chocolate always acted like an aphrodisiac to his bugs, and thus acted like it to him. Luckily for them, while the bugs could fuck, they didn’t breed, needing the queen to let out the proper pheromones for that and she did so only under Shino’s command.
Didn’t mean that they didn’t all enjoy the stress relief.
