5"Naruto! Hold on a minute!" Kushina tried to hold him still as she dressed him in his outfit. He was extra hyperactive today because of the fancy dress party at the nursery that Naruto and Sasuke attended. Naruto was going as a ghost.
"Ojamashimasu!" Mikoto could be heard from the main door. She soon entered the living room holding little Sasuke's hand. Kushina cooed at Sasuke's cat costume. He looked simply adorable. Naruto promptly jumped off the chair and, running to Sasuke, grabbed hold of his hand.
Rolling her eyes at their enthusiasm, Mikoto ushered the two out the door. "Fugaku will pick them up," Mikoto said as she walked out too.
"I thought Minato was picking them up," Kushina frowned.
Mikoto raised an eyebrow, "those two still not talking to each other?" Kushina shook her head. "Seriously those two need to grow up. Sometimes they're worse than the kids!" Mikoto stated. "Well, I guess they will come face to face at the nursery. Maybe they'll talk it out then."
Waving to Kushina, she shut the door behind her.
This was possibly the first time Sasuke and Naruto were attending a party with their peers. At the nursery, Naruto and Sasuke usually tended to stick together, but today, much to little Sasuke's displeasure, Naruto seemed to be interacting more with the other kids and Sasuke felt left behind. He tried to pull Naruto away from the crowd surrounding him but Naruto was having too much fun so he shook off Sasuke's hand and continued with his new found friends.
Sasuke felt deeply hurt by Naruto's actions so he walked away to a secluded corner next to the window, dragging one of the little chairs with him, and sat there staring, moodily, outside.
"Neko chan?" Sasuke turned to find a boy his age staring at his ears. He had long black hair and the palest eyes Sasuke had ever seen. The boy was dressed in a yukata with tiny fake swords attached to his hip. A girl, a little shorter than the boy but with equally pale eyes, hid behind him holding on to his yukata. She was dressed in a yukata as well, only a more elaborate one with a royal bearing to it. Sasuke looked curiously at the two.
"Cute!" the boy said and began stroking Sasuke's head as if he were a real kitten. Sasuke blushed at the attention.
Elsewhere, Naruto was having the time of his life with his new friends. He played with the little dog of a brunette with two red triangles on his cheeks, he shared food with the fat boy who was constantly eating, he babbled semi coherent statements to a rather loud and hyperactive blond girl with pigtails and traced cloud patterns with a pineapple head. Then there was the boy with bugs and bushy eyebrow boy.
But he soon began to miss Sasuke so he looked around, searching for him. What he found was not pleasing to him at all. Next to the window sat Sasuke, being petted by some long haired kid.
He furiously stomped to the trio and pulled Sasuke by his hand. Sasuke who seemed to have actually been enjoying the attention, pulled back. Naruto was not happy and he was not about to give up. So he tried to pull Sasuke away again thereby beginning a tug of war. Not finding a good enough grip on Sasuke, Naruto began to pull his tail instead. Sasuke didn't like it one bit and struggled harder. Somewhere between all of this, the other two children left. Soon Naruto began to cry because Sasuke wouldn't give up and come with him and Sasuke began cry because his tail was not being let go off. And that is how Minato found them when he came to pick them up.
He knelt down in front of them and asked them what happened. He surmised from their semi coherent bawl that the two of them didn't like sharing each other. He could help but laugh at how different and yet how alike the two were.
"Naru chan, Sasu chan, you are best friends. And best friends forgive each other." a voice startled Minato. He looked up to find Fugaku standing beside him. Fugaku crouched down as well and wiped the tears off both their faces. "You are best friends aren't you?" Fugaku asked the little ones whose bawls had now calmed down to sniffles. The two boys nodded. "then give each other a hug," he said.
The little boys hugged each other and Sasuke innocently planted a kiss on Naruto's lips. Both the fathers blushed. Rather uncomfortable with the predicament the two found themselves in, they chose to pick up their boys and head out in silence.
But before parting ways Minato called out to Fugaku. "You will be coming home for dinner, wont you?" he asked, looking away, a little embarrassed.
Fugaku's lips twitched upward. He nodded once, then walked away, leaving a certain blonde grinning like an idiot.
Ojamashimasu is what people usually say when entering somebody's house in Japan. It is equivalent to saying,'sorry for intruding'
Neko means cat, therefore Neko chan means little cat or kitten.
I'm sorry this chapter is short, but there will be a time skip so it made sense to start a fresh chapter.
