TWTAS 12
“We’d like to introduce you to Nara Hizashi.”
Sasuke, like his lover, could only stare. Standing before the blonde’s desk stood Shikamaru and Neji, holding a baby of all things, in their arms. If the two hadn’t been smiling so largely or happily, the raven would have thought it was a joke. But Neji merely stood there, holding the boy in the most caring manner possible, white eyes shining with pride. A pride that only a parent could hold in their eyes. There was no question that baby belonged to the two of them.
“Wha?” Naruto finally uttered, though it was a rather unintelligible reply.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes. “This kid is our son, Hokage. We thought you might like to meet him.”
“B-but…how? When?” the blonde stammered, eyes glued to the little bundle in Neji’s arms.
The Nara grumbled. “Do you just sign the reports that come to your desk without reading them?”
Naruto flushed in embarrassment. “Only when there are a lot of them!”
Sasuke snorted. “More like all the time.”
“Teme!”
Sighing softly, Shikamaru left his spouse’s side and walked over to the filing cabinets in the adjoining closet, before returning with a file in his hands. Placing it on Naruto’s desk, he pushed it towards the blonde as Neji made his way up to his side. Glancing between the manila folder and the Nara, Naruto opened it and looked at the contents, giving it a very half hearted glance over. It wasn’t until he got further into the document that he realized what he was reading.
“So…you two were the homosexual couple that participated in this experiment?” Naruto asked, handing the report to Sasuke.
The Uchiha read over the reports contents as the Nara nodded. “If you had read the report when it was first issued and then aligned the timing up with when Neji and I asked for a vacation, you might have figured out it was us.”
“If anything,” Sasuke nodded, “the descriptions of the males in the experiment would have given some other hints towards them. You really should read these things, dobe.”
“Shut up,” Naruto grumbled.
“So nine months ago the two of you donated to this experiment,” the Uchiha said, ignoring the blonde’s outburst. “And that baby is the result?”
Neji nodded. “That’s right.”
“Why did you keep it a secret?” the raven asked.
The Hyuuga, uncharacteristically, flushed a little and glanced at his spouse. “We…wanted it to be a surprise. The only ones who knew about this were us and Shikamaru’s parents.”
“It’s a surprise alright,” Naruto huffed. “What about the mother?”
“She’ll be nursing Hizashi until he’s old enough to be weaned,” Shikamaru answered. “And before you jump to conclusions, she volunteered for the experiment. She knew what would be expected of her.”
Slowly, the Uchiha made his way over to the newborn, staring at the baby with sharp eyes. He was definitely the child of a Hyuuga, that was for sure. His white eyes had a very light blue shade to them and they practically sparkled with their newness. His hair was also very similar to Neji’s in color, but hair could definitely grow lighter. His skin tone, however, was very much like Shikamaru’s. He’d have to look over that report again to see how the child ended up looking more like the two of them.
Standing back up straight, Sasuke gave the couple a smile. “Congratulations. I’m glad that the experiment was a success. I’m sure he’ll bring you happiness.”
Neji smiled sincerely. “Thank you, Sasuke.”
Naruto was no longer pouting, a large grin back on his face. “Can I hold him?”
Nodding slowly, the Hyuuga made his way around the desk, placing the boy into the blonde’s arms. Naruto proved to be an excellent person with children, cooing and smiling at the baby as he bounced him. Hizashi merely continued to stare, his tiny arms moving sharply as he stared at the man holding him. When the blonde moved a finger towards his mouth, he almost instantly started to suckle, one hand instinctively grabbing on.
“You’re hands had better be clean,” Shikamaru glared.
Naruto rolled his eyes. “I washed them not even a few minutes ago. Relax. I wouldn’t put dirty fingers in a baby’s mouth. I’m not completely stupid.”
Sasuke, however, merely continued to watch as his lover interacted with the child, surprised at how…natural it seemed for the blonde. For a short moment, he imaged that the baby in Naruto’s arms had blonde hair, or even his own raven black. The idea immediately appealed to him. He found himself wishing that the baby was indeed his own. Shaking his head, Sasuke snorted. Him? Wanting a child of his own? That was just absurd!
“He’s so cute!” Naruto beamed. “I can’t wait to see him smile!”
Neji couldn’t stop himself from smiling. “We have to go now, Hokage, but I’m sure you’ll get a chance to see him more.”
“Aww,” the blonde pouted, carefully handing the boy back to the Hyuuga. “Who are you going to see next?”
Neji fidgeted in his spot. “My uncle. We’re hoping he…will accept him.”
“If they give you any trouble, let me know,” Naruto ordered. “I’ll beat them into accepting him.”
Shikamaru smirked. “If anyone could do it, it would be you. I’m sure we’ll be fine though. It’s the elders I’m concerned about. We’ll see the two of you later.”
Naruto waved as the couple left his office, beaming. “Cute kid. If he has traits from both families, he’ll make one hell of a ninja.”
Sasuke didn’t respond. He was lost in his own thoughts. Did he want a child? Of course he did! As much as he didn’t want an Uchiha to suffer the fate he had, he certainly didn’t like the idea of being the last Uchiha alive. With Madara and Itachi gone, he truly was the last. And things could be different, couldn’t they? After all, his ancestors had grown up disliking the first Hokage, wanting to have control of the village for himself. But that would be different, if he had children, wouldn’t it?
“Sasuke?”
Snapping out of his thoughts, the raven mentally cursed that he had been so lost in his own thoughts that he hadn’t noticed the blonde trying to get his attention for the last few minutes. Naruto had a concerned look in his eyes, one that Sasuke knew wouldn’t go away until he brushed it away. Smiling softly, he walked over to his lover and pressed a soft kiss to Naruto’s lips. Yes, he was on duty, but there was no one there and he really needed to comfort the blonde.
“Sorry,” he said softly. “I got lost in thought.”
Naruto’s eyes narrowed. “Which makes me even more concerned. I know you brood, but you never get that deep in your thoughts.”
“I assure you it’s nothing,” Sasuke mentioned, standing up straight and placing his mask back on. It was his way of saying he wouldn’t talk about the problem for a while.
Huffing, the blonde settled back in his chair. “This conversation is not over. Not by a long shot.”
“Hn.” The Uchiha’s eyes, however, were resting on the report sitting on Naruto’s desk. He’d have to read it later, to find out just how Neji and Shikamaru had done it, created a child of their own. Mentally shaking his head, Sasuke returned his focus to his current occupation, his job. He’d have plenty of time to read the report later. As much as he wanted to read it now, he knew that as Naruto’s bodyguard, he had a more important task to fulfill.
Of course, after he was done, that report would be as good as read.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
So that’s how it was done. Sasuke was impressed. Taking a skill that Sakon and Ukon, one of Orochimaru’s many servants he had never met, could use and making it useful for this means. I made sense to him now. Find a female of very submissive traits, plant a seed in her full of two very dominate traits and the child would end up looking more like the dominate ones. Now he could see how it would work and how, in Shikamaru and Neji’s case, it had worked.
Placing the report back in the proper file, Sasuke quietly slipped the folder back into its place before shutting the filing cabinet, thankful that it didn’t make much noise as he did so. Heaven knows he didn’t want anyone to know he was here. He’d told his lover that he needed to go for a walk by himself, which he knew had upset Naruto even more, but he really did need to do this on his own. It was his problem and he would deal with it as such.
Slowly exiting the closet, Sasuke closed and locked the door before freezing in his spot. Spinning to the side, he mentally cursed himself for his lack of attention. He’d been so intent on reading that report that he hadn’t noticed his lover’s chakra signature, much less noticed that he was even in the room. Yet Naruto didn’t turn to face him, his back towards the Uchiha as he continued to stare outside the window behind his currently empty desk.
“You were reading that report, weren’t you?”
Naruto’s voice held no tone of unhappiness or even smugness. It was clear, concise, and, dare he say it, even emotionless. Standing up straight, Sasuke refused to look like a coward or even be shamed for being caught. His lover deserved that much from him.
“I was.”
“So? Did you like what you read?”
Arching a brow in confusing, the raven turned more fully towards his lover. “What do you mean?”
“Did you like the process? Did it bother you at all?”
“I don’t see why it would have bothered me,” the Uchiha said dismissively. “What are you trying to get at, dobe?”
“I saw that look in your eye, Sasuke,” Naruto responded softly, “when you were looking at the baby today. You want a kid of your own.”
The raven nearly flinched. Nearly. “Naruto, I-“
“It’s not surprising,” the blonde shrugged. “I mean, you went on for years of how you wanted to continue your bloodline and even after you outright told the elders you wouldn’t marry if you didn’t want to, I could see a longing in your eyes. A longing I couldn’t fill. I always feared that you would eventually leave me for a girl so you could create offspring and so on and so forth. Yet you never did. It made me love you all the more.”
Slowly, the raven made his way up to where the blonde stood, still only able to see his back in the darkness. It was nighttime after all. “Naruto?”
“I can…finally give you what you want, Sasuke.” The blonde’s voice was so soft, he almost didn’t hear it. “I can…finally give you a part of myself and we…we could have a kid together, just like Shikamaru and Neji.”
Sighing softly, the raven stepped behind his lover and wrapped his arms around his waist. “Naruto, I don’t even know if I really…want a child.”
The blonde snorted. “Of course you want one. It’s been your dream for years!”
“That’s not what I meant,” Sasuke retorted. “I’ve…always wondered if I had children if it would be subjecting someone down my line to the same fate that I suffered. I don’t know if I could live with that.”
“Sasuke, don’t you think that you’re putting too much on your own shoulders?” the blonde asked. “Think about it. Sure, it could happen again, but…things could be different this time. Your descendents wouldn’t have the discontent that your ancestors did. They’ll have been taught differently. It’s not like the first Hokage’s family is in charge of the village anymore. Besides, if…if you and I do this…wouldn’t it be as if they descended from a Hokage themselves?”
Stunned, the Uchiha mulled over his lover’s words. He definitely had a point. That’s the whole reason his ancestors were going to rebel, wasn’t it? Because they felt their family should have the place of the Hokage? But if he and Naruto had a child…that line could proudly say they descended from a Hokage. He hadn’t ever thought of it like that. Could he…possibly have a family? Could the Uchiha name live on through them, despite them both being male?
“Sasuke?”
Jumping back to the present, the raven looked down at his lover. Naruto was willing to do this so his family line could live on. But did the blonde himself want it? “I know you’re willing to do this for me, but…I don’t want to do it unless you want to.”
To his surprise, Naruto laughed. “Did you think I would come here and surprise you like this if I didn’t want it to happen myself? Honestly, Sasuke, I’m not that selfless.”
Smirking, half in amusement, half in relief, the Uchiha turned the blonde to face him before pressing his lips to Naruto’s forehead. “Thank you, Naruto.”
Smiling, the Hokage merely looked up. “Well, do you think I’ll have to use my Hokage position to get them to accept our request?”
Sasuke snorted. “If you have to use that, I’ll simply threaten them with my Sharingan.”
Naruto rolled his eyes. “Oh, that’s a good way to prove you’re a great role model, teme.”
Merely smirking, the raven escorted his lover to their place, where he proceeded to make love to him for the rest of the night. Perhaps it wasn’t the best way to show his appreciation, but Naruto seemed to enjoy it. He certainly couldn’t think of any other way to share his thanks with the blonde except for buying him ramen. Perhaps he’d have to do that the next day too.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“We got a request from the Hokage today,” Shikamaru stated as he came in through the front door.
Neji looked up from their baby, blinking as his lover came to sit next to him. “Really?”
“Mmhmm,” the Nara grinned. “I’m sure you’ll never imagine what he asked of us.”
“Do you mean us as in the two of us? Or as in the Nara labs?” the white eyed nin asked, pressing a kiss to his husband’s jaw.
“The Nara labs,” Shikamaru clarified, returning the kiss in kind.
“Well, what did he ask of you boys then?” Neji asked, relaxing with Hizashi in his arms. He grinned as the little one grabbed his extended finger and immediately began to suckle on it, bringing a smile to Shikamaru’s face as well.
“Let’s just say you and I started a trend.”
