Days kept on passing by until Sasuke's birthday finally came and Naruto really waited this day to come. He planned everything so that he could even filled those years that they unable to celebrate each other's special day. As he received a letter of absence from Sasuke, he also send a same letter to the Godaime and as usual, Tsunade granted his chance to be with his best friend only for that day. So, the Rokudaime make sure that he was ready for tomorrow's occasion and he really wanted to be the first one to greet his best friend. A night before midnight…
 
 
“ I will definitely make Sasuke surprise in his birthday and I hope those fan girls of his won't get on my way. This is my very first time to celebrate his birthday with him since he had returned to this village. “, Naruto happily said as he prepared all the things he needed.
 
 
As for Sasuke, he had already forgotten to celebrate that special occasion since he trained himself with Orochimaru. He only focused his mind and body on having revenge towards Itachi and he have no time to pay attention on it `coz it never helps on taking the life of his clan's murderer.
 
He chose to take a stroll on the old abandoned Uchiha manor tomorrow and in the reason he wanted to avoid his annoying fan girls from swarming him. He don't know Naruto's plans too so, he really expected himself to be alone in his birthday. He really waited the sky turns into day and as the clock's hands strike twelve, he prepared himself to leave his house and set towards the Uchiha manor even the environs was still dark and cold.
 
 
“ No one will find me there `coz its restricted place and definitely everyone will surely thinks that our recent place is already dwelled by some ghosts and monsters. What a very stupid beliefs… “, He claimed and smirked as he started to walk towards his destination.
 
 
And there was no doubt, Naruto obscured himself in a post and found some fan girls outside the Uchiha `s house. Hours passed and the number of Sasuke `s fan girls escalated every minute until they all figured out that their gorgeous Uchiha wasn't there and they left the place gradually.
 
 
“ It's already afternoon… and don't tell me he is still sleeping in his bed pretending he didn't hear anything? “, Naruto remarked and he went to the Sasuke's house as soon those girls was completely gone from his sight.
 
 
He figured out that no one was inside the house so he decided to wait the raven boy to return home so he sat himself in front of the door. Meanwhile, Sasuke silently gadded around the manor and solemnly reminisced all those past memories he had on that place.
 
 
“ It's been years since I'd last seen this place again… and no doubt, no one will hesitate to think that this place is already a home for some spirits and ghosts. Despite of this appearance… I can still trace those pieces remained from that gruesome night… which all I just thought that I was just trapped in a powerful genjutsu… but as I wake up in the morning… I've realize that everything what happened was the reality… “, His tone changed as he remembered the pain he had acquired because of his older brother.
 
 
Meanwhile, Naruto was still impatiently waiting for Sasuke and he was very annoyed that his best friend has no plan to return home. It's getting late in the afternoon and he had waited for almost ten hours. He didn't want his plans for that day to be wasted so he got up from sitting in front the door.
 
“ Where in the green world does that bastard go? And how long will I wait for him in here? “, He huffed and suddenly, there's something flashed in his mind, “ He will not go home for now… perhaps… he's in… “.
 
 
It was already dark as he utterly arrived on the Uchiha manor and the cold wind was aimlessly blowing causing some old doors to shriek with odd sounds. This made the Rokudaime shivered in fear as he kept on going just to search his secret love.
 
 
“ Come on, where are you, Sasuke? … As I go further… I don't know if I can still linger any longer… oh please… “, Naruto shakily uttered.
 
 
As a hard wind blew, a piece of wood hanging on a certain abandoned house fell causing Naruto to scream and run in fear towards a nearby house. That time, Sasuke was in his old room and heard the commotion around his old house. He prepared his kusanagi sword and cautiously walked towards the hallway.
 
 
Even though, this place was already abandoned… I won't allow some intruder here… you'll regret for coming… “, He said to himself.
 
 
In a corner, both Sasuke and Naruto bumped each other. Sasuke quickly grasped the blonde `s arm not noticing it was Naruto. The Rokudaime thought that a ghost captured him so he screamed again.
 
 
“ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Let me go!!! Don't eat me!!!! “, Naruto yawped and he kept on pulling his arm out just to escape from the tight hold. While Sasuke blushed as he noticed that the one who he held was his cute dope.
 
“ Naruto, quit shouting… it's only me baka! “, Sasuke blurted.
 
“ Huh?! “, He gawked as he noticed that it was not a ghost or some kind of a monster… it was his raven! “ Sasuke! I'm thankful! I've found you! Let's get out of here “, Naruto exclaimed and didn't hesitate to embrace the Uchiha. Sasuke felt the trembling of his cute lover and he started to tease him.
 
“ Jeez! I don't know why you became our Hokage… knowing that you're afraid of ghosts “, Sasuke bantered.
 
“ Tease me all you want but please let's get out of here! “, Naruto whined.
 
 
Sasuke just smirked and lifted the blonde with his both arms while going out the place. Naruto kept himself attached on Sasuke's chest and closed his eyes, not wanting to see again the surroundings as both of them walked out of the Uchiha manor. As they completely out, both of them stopped in the entrance.
 
 
Every time… I am this close to him… I really feel safe in his arms… I hope I can admit my feelings for him later… “, Naruto thought.
 
“ So, why have you come here, Mr. Scared Fox? “, Sasuke asked while bringing down the blonde and cough slightly. Naruto flushed…moving inches away from the Uchiha and even how dark the surrounding was, Sasuke could still see it.
 
“ I- I've almost forget it… “, Naruto shyly uttered.
 
“ Huh? Forget what? “, Sasuke doubly asked.
 
“ Sasuke, I really intent to go here and find you… “
 
“ Naze? “
 
“ Hmm… Can you just come with me? … “
 
“ No, tell it to me, first… How can I come if I don't know what's your reason, dope! “, Sasuke insisted trying to get the drift of his dear best friend.
 
“ No, I can't tell it to you, now… just come… and I'll show it to you “, the blonde boy shyly replied.
 
“ A surprise celebration? Am I right? “. Naruto gaped at him.
 
“ Hn! Then, I'm right… you know what, since I've trained with Orochimaru… I never celebrated my birthday… knowing that it wouldn't help me to get stronger… just to kill my older brother… “, Sasuke stated. “ It's just a waste of time… “.
 
 
“ Sumimasen… I didn't know it… Well, I just thought you would be happy if once in your lifetime you'll celebrate this day with me… Anyway, I understand! At least, you never hesitate to tell it to me… ”, Naruto said with a grin in his face and released his hold into Sasuke's hand. “ But before I go home… I want to greet you Otanjou-bi Omedeto… Ja mata ne… “.
 
 
Sasuke surprisingly looked at the blonde and deep within himself, he didn't expect to hear those words from his secret love. “ With him? Did he really say it? Oh, I really wished that I would celebrate this day with him… and it did happened… so… “, His thought shaken when he saw the sullen face of his dope as it turned its back from him.
 
 
“ Naruto! “. The blonde suddenly stopped as he heard his name.
 
“ Huh? “
 
“ I didn't say that I would not come with you… “, The Uchiha said with a little pink in his cheek.
 
“ Then, it means… “, Naruto unbelievably said and Sasuke just nodded so, he ran towards the raven and embraced him tight. “ Wow! Then, let's go now! We need to get hurry! “. While being said the Rokudaime quickly snatched his hand and held it tight then, they started to run.
 
“ Hey! I can walk alone… and we don't need to run… There is enough time to celebrate! “, Sasuke complained.
 
“ Quit grousing! I've waited for almost ten hours so I'm very excited! We need to get hurry! “, The blonde boy happily explained as he kept on dragging Sasuke off the place. The raven dansei just sighed and talked to himself with a little smile on his face.
 
I really wanted to see him happy like this… and I'm very pleased that he had plans on my birthday… Arigato… Naruto…
 
 
As they arrived in hot spring private suite, where the Rokudaime rented it for the whole night just for that special celebration, Naruto quickly offered Sasuke to take his time in the hot spring while he needed to do something very important first. It's been past ten minutes and Sasuke was still soothing himself alone and waited for Naruto to come and join him in.
 
 
“ Tch! What's taking him so long? I feel slight dizzy soaking in here… “, He grumbled. “ Hay… I`m just excited to see again how beautiful his bod— “, his cheeky thought interrupted when he heard Naruto's voice coming out from the door.
 
“ Gomen if it takes so long… “, Naruto apologized as his presence showed in front of his best friend.
 
 
Sasuke dazed. Why not? His cute blonde best friend was having only a towel wrapped around his waist and that blonde hair which was always brushed up, was now pressed down… definitely giving a simple yet elegant look on Naruto. His other side was really drooling on having a sight of it… but, he quickly gained his own mind again so quickly snapped his sight out of Naruto, seeing that the blonde was now starting to doff it off.
 
 
Quit on looking at him! You might do something weird if you continue… “, He reminded himself.
 
“ So, what can you say about this celebration to you? “, Naruto quickly inquired while he sat himself beside the Uchiha. Still, the raven dansei was trying not to look on his side.
 
“ Uhm, good!… I- I really d-don't expect this… “, he stuttered and his thought protested, “ Why are you stuttering in front of him, you shit? “. His stupid mind talking cut when Naruto rested his head to his.
 
“ … “
 
“ We can do… anything without anyone… bothering us… “, Naruto just uttered earning a little blush from Sasuke, who finally gave up on not looking at him.
