SasuSaku Month 2017
Day 3: Chemistry

Naruto was sick of it, they acted like an old married
couple. They thought that he hadn’t noticed, that the whole village hadn’t
caught on, but everyone had. And almost like a general rule, no one said anything.
Naruto was about to explode.

It was one of those rare days when Naruto was able to escape
Hokage duties to have lunch with his former teammates. They were at Ichiraku at
Naruto’s request, he was on his second bowl of ramen eating slowly as Sasuke
had just finished his.

He saw from the corner of his eyes as Sakura turned to him
brought a finger to the corner of his lips to wipe an excess of broth and then
she stuck the finger in her mouth. Sasuke just rolled his eyes as if their
exchange was the most common thing in the world.

Naruto stopped eating, forgetting altogether his ramen to
stare at his two best friends like they had just grown a second head. After a
moment they both turned to him and asked in unison, “What?”

Naruto didn’t know how to phrase a reply, he was acting as
if they had done such a dirty thing in front of him, but they might as well
have. Public display of affection was a line they hadn’t crossed before. “You
fingered him.” That came out wrong. Sasuke looked scandalized at his choice of
words, Sakura looked confused.

“You can’t do that!” He added after a moment.

“What?” This time it was Sasuke who asked, sounding
exasperated, Naruto wanted to hit him.

“Everything, all of it!” He had a mental list of all of
those things they should not be doing, Sakura would hit him on the head for
half of it. “I am Hokage, and I am declaring as of right now that you two can’t
be doing all those things you’re surely doing until you marry.”

“Naruto…” Sasuke started with that tone of voice that told
him he’d like nothing more than to punch him in the face. “We are married.”

“What?”

That day Naruto found out his two best friends had gotten
married on their travels, they had told him nothing, and he hadn’t even been
invited to the wedding. And so the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf spent the
remainder of the afternoon annoyed at the Uchiha’s for a whole different
reason.
