-Naruto and the Key of Twilight-

 

 

“You know, Naruto,” Riku's mother said that evening while they were sitting outside together. “Those babies could easily become yours.”

 

“You mean marry Riku,” Naruto considered. “I've thought about it, but…”

 

“But what?” Riku's mother asked. “My name is Tenshiko, by the way. Fuutamereimei Tenshiko. So, what's the hesitation?”

 

“I think Riku's still carrying a torch for that Sora guy.” Naruto admitted.

 

“And you're still in love with your old boyfriend, too?”

 

Naruto shrugged. “I guess.”

 

But as he thought about it, he realized that all he was still in love with was the memories of his past relationship with Sasuke. A relationship he no longer truly missed.

 

“Who do you love most?”

 

Naruto looked at her with dawning comprehension in his eyes as the truth finally became clear to him.

 

“Riku,” he admitted.

 

“Tell him,” Tenshiko said, approvingly.

 

Naruto stood up. “I'll tell him right now.”

 

 

~Back on Destiny Islands~

 

Sora was still trying to make sense of the interruption of his and Sasuke's first kiss.

 

“Just when I finally get over that jerk, Riku…” he looked around to make sure that no angels were listening, then resumed, “I get cuffed upside the head by a woman who bears a striking resemblance.”

 

“Maybe she was his mother?” Sasuke suggested.

 

“Well, it's not like I was cheating on him,” Sora remarked. “He walked out on me after all. What was I supposed to do, just wait around for him to come crawling back to me?”

 

“Well, apparently she felt she had some reason for thwacking you like that,” Sasuke observed.

 

~Back in Konoha~

 

“Riku,” Naruto asked. “I know you still have feelings for Sora. But… well… I love you and I was wondering if you'd, well… I think we'd be a great couple. Dattebayo!”

 

Riku looked up at him for a while, not speaking, just observing. Naruto didn't meet his gaze. He was afraid of rejection again. When he had been younger, he had seen a movie that went something like this situation. The man asked the woman if she'd marry him and was greeted with silence. He finally understood why the man in the movie had left without a word.

 

Silence it seemed, meant rejection. Naruto scratched the back of his head, thoroughly embarrassed and feeling humiliated beyond all belief. He gave a sad sort of smile and said softly,

 

“Saw that coming.”

 

He backed up, hoping beyond all hope that Riku would ask him to stay. He turned and rested his hand on the doorknob waiting almost a full minute. When there was nothing but silence, his shoulders slumped and he left the room without a backward glance.

 

Riku looked at the door and cursed to himself. He had wanted to say yes so badly but the word never made it out of his mouth. He decided that he'd give Naruto some alone time, knowing what it feels like to be rejected through experience.

 

~Time Skip: 45 minutes~

 

Naruto looked up at the stars as though they would hold the answer to his problems. He had made the mistake of giving his heart to Sasuke, only to have him crush it. He still remembered exactly what the raven had said when Naruto told him he loved him.

 

“Our relationship can't go beyond this room. Face it, nobody would accept it or us…Besides,” he looked away, not meeting Naruto's gaze. “I don't love you.”

 

The bitter memory brought forth pain and tears. He had given his whole well being into bringing Sasuke back. He had shed blood, sweat, and tears for his teammate. And what did he get? Nothing.

 

He sat there, his hands resting on his swollen abdomen. “Well,” he told his unborn babies, “looks like it's just you and me.”

 

“Mind if I join you?”

 

Naruto looked up and was a bit surprised to see Riku standing there, holding his newborns in his arms.

 

He shrugged and Riku took a seat on the ground beside him.

 

“You caught me off guard,” Riku explained. “I wasn't expecting you to propose like that. It was a proposal, wasn't it?”

 

“It was.”

 

“I'm sorry I was so quiet like that. I guess I couldn't believe you were asking me to marry you. I mean, I just had another man's babies, so…”

 

“Do you think I only asked you out of some antiquated sense of chivalry?” Naruto asked. “Because I didn't. Ask anyone in this village. I'm not the most responsible person around. I'll probably make a lousy father. But…”

 

“You'll make a fine father,” Riku told him. “For all of our children.”

 

“Our?” Naruto blinked. “Does that mean you're saying yes?”

 

Riku nodded. “Yes.”

 

Riku brushed away Naruto's tears, the twins curled up in his lap. Then, Riku and Naruto exchanged a tender kiss, and then Naruto got up and ran back inside, calling for Tsunade.

 

“You've gotta come quick!” he was shouting excitedly. “Riku's agreed to marry me. You've gotta come and marry us before he changes his mind! Come on!”

 

Tsunade nodded, then followed Naruto back to the spot where he had left Riku, Riku's mother joining them along the way.

 

When he got there, he found Riku quietly nursing his twins, the younger child's wings beating gently.

 

“Riku?”

 

Riku looked up and saw Tsunade and his mother standing there with Naruto.

 

“Just can't wait, eh?” he smiled.

 

“I'm not taking any chances, dattebayo!” Naruto laughed.

 

“Well, then… I think we'll proceed with the ceremony,” Tsunade decided as Riku handed the twins to their grandmother.

 

Tsunade instructed Naruto and Riku to face each other and hold hands. Then she spoke.

 

“Naruto,” she said. “Do you promise to love, honor and protect Riku.”

 

“I do.” Naruto nodded. “Dattebayo.”

 

Tsunade suppressed the urge to thwack Naruto. “Riku. Do you promise to love, honor, and protect Naruto?”

 

“I do.” Riku nodded.

 

Tsunade handed Naruto a ring that had belonged to his family while Riku's mother gave him her mother's ring.

 

Once Riku and Naruto had exchanged rings, Tsunade placed her hands upon their heads. “You are now joined in wedlock,” she told them. She didn't have to tell them to kiss. They had barely waited for her proclamation before their lips touched.

 

 

 

Back on Destiny Islands, a regal looking train appeared on a magical track. Sasuke looked faintly impressed and looked at Sora questioningly.

 

“I'll tell you later.”

 

The door opened and King Mickey stepped out of the train. Sasuke quirked a brow and started to say something. Fortunately, Sora elbowed him in the ribs and said,

 

“Later.” He looked at the king and asked, “Hey King Mickey, what can I do you for?”

 

“Welp, the mothers of your children just got married.”

 

There was a shocked silence as the words really sunk in. Sora looked at King Mickey and asked,

 

“Riku was…pregnant?”

 

“I don't lie about these things, Sora.”

 

Sasuke watched this interaction only on the outside. Deep in the recesses of his mind (his brain having left when he saw the talking mouse), he was mulling everything over in the way only Sasuke could.

 

“Why didn't he say something?” Sora asked.

 

“He didn't know until after the two of you broke up,” King Mickey explained. “And you know how stubborn he can be.”

 

“When is he due?” Sora asked.

 

“He gave birth a few hours ago. His first son was born December 24th, his second was born a few minutes later on December 25th.”

 

“Christmas Eve and Christmas Day,” Sora realized. “How wonderful. Do you think they'd mind if we paid them a visit? I'd love to see the babies.”

 

“Welp, I don't know,” King Mickey hesitated. “Riku's very protective of his babies”

 

“Please?” Sora begged giving King Mickey the puppy-dog look.

 

King Mickey sighed and finally gave in.

 

“Fine, get in,” he said. “We'll take the train.”
