As if Naruto would do nothing! That was complete and utter bullshit! Naruto wasn’ an idiot, he knew how Sakura was. She’d scheme with him alright, but in her own way, she’d try and take his place in Sasuke’s heart. Sure Sakura had claimed that she no longer hand any interest in Sasuke, but Naruto hadn’t missed the looks of longing in Sakura’s eyes whenever she looked at Sasuke, or his name was brought up, and Naruto knew that just because he was scheming to get Sasuke back, didn’t mean that she wasn’t scheming to get Sasuke into her bed. Naruto was no fool. Well, he was, but not when it came to Sasuke. When it came to Sasuke, Naruto saw everything…..most of the time.

Tomorrow, night, Naruto would put his plan into action. Of course, it was a long winded plan and actually required Naruto to have the patience to get it done, but Naruto knew he could do it. If he couldn’t, then his name wasn’t Naruto Uzuma- Oh wait, it wasn’t. It was Naruto Uchiha. Naruto had his last name changed at Sasuke request. At least, that’s what Sasuke told people, but really, Sasuke strong armed Naruto into it and threatened no sex for a month if Naruto didn’t. Naruto had given in with a feigned reluctance. He just hadn’t wanted to admit that the thought of sharing the same last name as his lover excited him.

Thinking about that threat made Naruto shiver in fear at how the threat had come true. In the past, their sex life had been active, and for Sasuke to hold it off would have meant Naruto would have died! Cock block for over a month? Talk about pure torture! Naruto sighed as he got to his feet. He had to shake these thoughts off. Shake it off Naruto, shake it off. With a shake of his shoulders, a big grin spread across his face. Now it was time to put his plan into action. Naruto grinned, letting out an evil chuckle that would have done Sasuke proud, or rather, made Sasuke worry. Whenever Naruto laughed like that, someone was bound to end up getting hurt. Naruto, smug, left the mansion to go into Konoha and pick up some supplies.

Once Naruto had his supplies, he went home and went to work. He would have to work the rest of the night, but he was counting on Sasuke being unconscious all night anyways, so that gave him plenty of time….hopefully. Even if he didn’t have all night, Naruto was going to work hard and make Sasuke happy. Besides, he was already here, he might as well put the effort in. With that in mind, Naruto went to work, brows knit together as he told himself “Sasuke needs this. Sasuke needs this.” It was like Naruto’s personal mantra as he went to work on the first part of his plan.

By the time morning came around, Naruto had been up all night working on his secret project. He’d finally passed out around 3 AM and had slept until 6 AM. Waking up with a jerk, Naruto looked around dazed, trying to gather up his surroundings and figure out where the hell he was. When he finally remembered, Naruto leaped to his feet and ran for the bathroom. Washing his hands clean of the glitter, glue and markers, he scrubbed the marker clean from his face, Naruto scrubbed at the ‘uke’ left on his cheek. He continued scrubbing until his cheek became red and the words gone before he stopped scrubbing his skin raw.

The next morning, Sasuke found the windows of his office plastered with giant signs proclaiming Naruto’s love for Sasuke. Naruto had even snuck in a giant ‘I Love you Sasuke!’ banner while Sasuke had slept on the couch. Sasuke even found he was wrapped in his favorite comforter, the one he’d left at home and had refused to touch. He’d never told anyone but Naruto that it was his favorite. Before Sasuke could even think to get mad, he saw a plate of food still steaming from being cooked. Approaching the food, he saw that it was his favorite food to eat for breakfast. On the plate was an omelet with tomatoes and very little cheese alongside the plate on a smaller plate was a slice of toast with plum jam and butter on it. The drink was coffee, made how Sasuke liked it.

Sasuke, feeling ravenous, dove into the food, shoveling it down hungrily. He hadn’t eaten in a long time, so this tasted really good. Sasuke’s head whipped up in surprise when an anxious voice asked “So? How is it? Is it good?” Sasuke studied Naruto, as if trying to decide whether or not to kill Naruto or hug him. Finally Sasuke offered a smirk and said “It’s fine.” Sasuke settled comfortably in his seat and quietly ate. Naruto on the other hand, was happy. He had gained some leeway! Yay! Sasuke was letting him back in! Sure he’d have to start from the beginning again, but it was worth it. Sasuke was letting Naruto in and even if Naruto had to chase Sasuke to the ends of the earth to prove his love, Naruto would.

When Sasuke was done eating, he quietly got to his feet and quietly padded over to the window. Opening the window, he pulled down all the posters and tore them up, before he kicked Naruto out of his office, along with the plate. Sasuke tossed the scraps of the poster board at Naruto as he shut and locked the door. Naruto sat on the floor outside Sasuke’s office, grinning madly at the progress he’d made. So what if he’d been kicked out of Sasuke’s office? Naruto didn’t care! He’d done what he had planned on from the start and he had gotten a reaction from Sasuke! The smirk meant that Sasuke was starting to relax and believe that he was him and not some impostor. That made Naruto incredibly happy.

Naruto went home with everything in his arms. Leaving everything on the kitchen table, Naruto went to bed, trying to get some rest before tonight when he put his next stage of the plan into action. As Naruto drifted off, he grinned at his triumph. It was going to be hard winning Sasuke over again.

But he’d done it before, and he sure as hell would do it again.
