Naruto, Konohamaru and Kakashi
.
.
Konohamaru was getting a lot of fish, it wasn’t fair. The only thing Naruto had gotten so far was one lousy bass that had been small enough to fit in his hand. Konohamaru had laughed and said he’d never seen a smaller fish. Naruto was absolutely certain that Kakashi had drenched his bait in something smelly that fish didn’t like before giving it to him; that man was sneaky. And he was weird. Kakashi didn’t have any bait at all on his own hook; said he didn’t want to be disturbed.
Naruto was worried. But he wasn’t worried about getting no fish compared to Konohamaru, not about Kakashi being weird and not about Sasuke being alone with Ino all day while he was stuck in the woods getting no fish. He was frustrated about those things, but not really worried; even though logically he should be, at least about the Sasuke and Ino alone thing, since the thing he worried about wouldn’t matter if Sasuke dumped him for Iruka’s aunt’s daughter. Sasuke might say he was being stupid about that, but Naruto knew Ino. She was a really pretty girl!
But in reality the concern of Sasuke with Ino was small compared to the concern Naruto had about all the pieces of the puzzle that was his plan falling into place. Now, Naruto was aware that that was not something you should worry about. It was a good thing! He should celebrate. And… maybe it wasn’t really worry... Maybe it was just a… a gnawing feeling he had. Maybe he was nervous. And he would think that being nervous was allowed. He’d never done anything like that before and… and according to the book, a lot of things could go wrong.
Naruto had borrowed this book from the library. An educational book. An educational book about sex. For some reason the librarian had looked very pleased. She hadn’t said anything, but the look had been embarrassing enough. He’d done it because he wanted to be prepared. Naruto was an impulsive guy. Most of the times he just jumped right into things and tried his best even though he had no idea what to do and how, but that method of learning had not felt very… good in this case. And having read the book, Naruto was definitely convinced he had been right. There was so much to think about, so many preparations to be made and things to… to purchase.
Naruto hadn’t borrowed the book because he thought he would need the knowledge anytime soon. He hadn’t even really wanted to need it anytime soon! He was barely fifteen, after all, come on. You couldn’t do that when you were fifteen. He had just wanted to be prepared for the day when he would need it. It would be awfully embarrassing and frustrating if the day came and they couldn’t do it because they hadn’t studied. But... the more Naruto had read, the more he had gotten curious. He should have foreseen that maybe, but he hadn’t. At the same time as he’d gotten worried about all the things that could go wrong, he’d gotten more and more interested in seeing if he could get it right.
He’d kept the book hidden from Sasuke, of course. He didn’t want Sasuke to know he was seriously considering that, mainly because Naruto didn’t know if he really was seriously considering it; at least he hadn’t known before this morning. He wasn’t sure why he was so sure that the weekend two weeks from this weekend was the weekend, but he was, and that was why he was nervous.
Kakashi and Iruka wouldn’t be home the weekend after next weekend. Kakashi had said promised that if Naruto went fishing with him and Konohamaru today he would get to be alone with Sasuke for two, maybe even three days. He should have been skeptical, it wasn’t likely that Iruka would go along with another vacation right after this one, but Naruto hadn’t doubted Kakashi for a second. Yes, Kakashi was weird. You weren’t supposed to want to leave your kid home alone with their boyfriend. Maybe if you were innocent and didn’t know what could happen, but Kakashi sure wasn’t. The only times Naruto left Sasuke’s house without blushing like crazy because he had gotten something condom related yelled after him was when Kakashi wasn’t home. No, the man was well aware of what could happen; Naruto had seen it in his eyes when he came with the proposal earlier today.
“I’ve got another one!” Konohamaru screamed and jumped in the air. He pulled roughly on the fishing pole, not minding any of the advice Naruto had given him about taking it easy. But the fish stayed on anyway and flew from the water, landing on the grass.
“Look! Naruto-niichan! It’s big enough to keep!”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever,” Naruto grumbled and tuned out the sounds of Konohamaru taking care of the fish. Kakashi had brought a cooling box so they could take the bigger fish home with them (though it seemed that would all be Konohamaru’s fish).
Naruto had felt like a super pervert for trading a fishing trip for a weekend alone with Sasuke. He tried to reason with himself that they didn’t have to do anything more than what they usually did. What they usually did was great! A weekend alone was a perfect opportunity for anything, not just for doing it. But there was still a gnawing feeling in the back of Naruto’s mind that told him that they would so do it; it. He hadn’t talked to Sasuke about it and he didn’t have any the things they would need, but he knew they would do it.
Naruto wondered what it would be like. He had heard lots of things; Gaara wasn’t shy about sharing and while Lee was a bit less eager and detailed he still talked when Naruto asked. The constantly reoccurring adjective was ‘great’. When he had fallen in love with Sasuke and known he would eventually marry him, Naruto had felt so lucky to have Lee and Gaara as his friends. They knew about these things and could tell him everything he wanted to know when he wanted to know it. But it was strange, these days, when Naruto finally felt that he wanted to know, it didn’t feel right to ask them.
If he asked now, he wouldn’t be asking because he wanted to know about sex; he would be asking because he wanted to do it with Sasuke and there was a difference. Sex was sex; doing it with Sasuke was private. Privacy was important to Sasuke and he would be so pissed if he found out that Naruto had been talking to Gaara and Lee about what was going to be their sex. Because of that Naruto was glad that he had borrowed that book at the library, even though it was embarrassing and even though the woman had looked at him like that.
Naruto was still nervous though. Two weeks wasn’t a very long time and what if he did something wrong even though he had studied? It would be their first time! In the movies the first time was like the most important event in your life, aside from marriage, and Naruto’s would be two weeks from now? Would they do it on Friday or Saturday or Sunday? Two weeks from now, would they have done it already, would they do it soon or would they do it tomorrow? What would it feel like? What if Sasuke didn’t want to?
“You shouldn’t worry about Sasuke, Naruto,” Kakashi said and Naruto snapped back to reality; for a moment he worried that he had said something out loud. Embarrassing!
“H-huh?” Naruto stammered and begged his cheeks not to blush; wanting something neutral that would work no matter what.
“You’re worried that he’ll get along too well with Ino-chan, aren’t you?”
“He can’t date neechan!” Konohamaru yelled angrily, suddenly.
“Of course, he won’t,” Kakashi said cheerfully. “Sasuke is gay!”
Konohamaru was frowning, looking grumpy and a mix of quite confused and very suspicious. He glared at Kakashi; threw a glare at Naruto as well, just for the sake of it.
“Wha… What’s that?”
Naruto didn’t want to but couldn’t help himself; he snickered.
“Naruto!” Konohamaru yelled, but he seemed more upset than angry. He was pouting. “Tell me what it is!”
“Now, now; don’t scare away the fish, Konohamaru-kun,” Kakashi said, still smiling. “And don’t mind Naruto. It’s my fault for being vague. That Sasuke is gay means that he’s not interested in dating girls. He wants to date boys.”
Konohamaru made a face.
“Eww.”
Naruto groaned and threw out his arms.
“You can’t say ‘eww’, you idiot!” he yelled. “Kakashi’s dating a guy too!”
Konohamaru frowned and seemed to think. That kid was such an idiot sometimes.
“Oh, yeah…” he said thoughtfully. Kakashi didn’t seem at all bothered. He was still smiling.
“So you see,” he continued. “You’re probably in more trouble than Ino-chan is.”
The kid thought some more. Then he blushed furiously.
“Eww! I wouldn’t date him! Eww!”
Konohamaru shuddered and turned back to his fishing, muttering something about ‘I knew he was a lesbian…’ Naruto didn’t have the energy to comment, just sighed tiredly and watched the surface of the water again. It was slightly rippled, the tree tops above their head waving slowly in a wind; the sun peeking down between branches. Then Naruto realized, and turned frowning to Kakashi.
“He’s really gay?” he said, his voice low enough that Konohamaru wouldn’t hear. Kakashi looked sort of mischievous, but at the same time serious. It was hard to tell with him.
“Well,” the man said. “I’ve never ever seen him with a girl, and with the harem of followers he’s got it wouldn’t be hard for him to find one.”
Naruto grumbled. That was too true.
“I’ve never heard anything about a girl either,” Kakashi continued. “Just guys.”
“Really?” Naruto said. “Just guys?”
Kakashi smiled and nodded. Naruto thought for a moment.
“That… That Neji guy?” he asked eventually, when he’d gathered enough courage. “Do you know him?”
“A Neji guy?” Kakashi looked thoughtful, then seemed to remember. “Oh, the Neji guy. Yeah, I know him, a bit. I’ve seen him.”
“R-really? What… What’s he like? Is he really cool? Really good-looking?”
“He’s… humm, not very social. He’s the strong, silent type that looks cranky all the time. And yeah, I suppose he’s good-looking, for a kid.”
“That sounds like Sasuke.”
Kakashi seemed to think about that before he nodded.
“Yeah,” he said. “They have a lot in common.”
Then Kakashi looked more mischievous again.
“Are you worried that he will steal Sasuke away from you?”
“N-No,” Naruto sputtered and turned back to the water. “I’m not worried.”
Because Neji was far away, right?
“Good!” Kakashi sounded cheerful again. Then his voice lowered to a mutter. “Neji is not the one you should be worrying about.”
“Huh?”
“Oh! It looks like you’ve got one biting.”
“Eh? Ah! I do!”
It was a big one too. Bigger than most of Konohamaru’s.
