Sasuke found himself laying awake, watching Naruto sleep in the queen sized bed of Naruto's apartment. After what Itachi said, he couldn't sleep. Hell, he couldn't even make love to the blonde without hearing the words play over and over in his head.

He knew what his brother was saying was indeed true, but how could Sasuke come forth about his feelings without being judged? He knew the day would come where both Naruto and Sasuke couldn't hide their relationship, but he never thought it'd be so soon. How'd Itachi know?

The younger raven turned on his side, greeted by Naruto's sleeping form beside him. He took in a deep breath. How did he allow himself to get in this mess? How did he allow himself to fall in love with a human? Love. That feeling was something unfamiliar to Sasuke for all these years. He never really knew the feeling of being in love. He knew he deeply cared about his brother and their parents, but to say he'd love someone was a long streatch of emotions he barely even had. And yet, here he was, away from his study, in the home of a human man, in his bed, as if it was the normal thing to do.

Sasuke reached out and touched the blonde on his cheek, feeling the warmth of his rosy cheeks. He found himself smiling, seeing the blonde stir slightly before drifting off back into his slumber. Sasuke scooted closer, allowing his arm to wrap around the blonde's body, pulling him closer. It was then that Naruto's eyes fluttered open.

"I'm sorry." Sasuke whispers once their eyes met. "I didn't mean to wake you."

A soft smile made it's way onto Naruto's face as he reached up and stroked Sasuke's face.

"It's okay." The blonde replied. He was just glad Sasuke was still in his home. He felt this would be a little too low class for someone like Sasuke, who's penthouse overlooked the Los Angeles skyline. Naruto loved that view, but he knew with Itachi lurking around they were liable to get caught, something Naruto knew for certain that Sasuke didn't want. Naruto of course didn't want it as well, for everyone knew he wasn't gay. But here he was, in love with another man and somehow he saw no wrong in it.

"You should be sleeping." Sasuke whispers. "You work more than I do."

A smirk fell on the blonde's face as he blinked slowly. He knew he was lying to Sasuke about being a bounty hunter, Naruto had more than time on his hands to spend with Sasuke as much as he wanted to, but he had to keep the facade going if he didn't want to blow his cover.

"My job is on call." Naruto yawns as he scooted closer to Sasuke, taking in the slight warmth of the raven. He burries his face into Sasuke's bare chest and took in a deep breath. "So I could be woken up out of my sleep at any given time."

Sasuke snakes his arms around Naruto's small frame and pulls him closer. The warmth of his blonde made him at ease.

Sasuke felt his eyes getting heavy. He knew soon that sleep would consume him. It was just a matter of time.

"You just wanted me close to you?" Naruto smirks, watching the raven as he closed his eyes, his breathing steadying.

Sasuke's eyes fluttered open, landing on the small blonde before him.

"Mind your business." He grumbles before closing his eyes yet again.

"Uh huh." Naruto chuckles before he finds himself snuggling into Sasuke once again. He closed his eyes as well, letting the rest of his slumber catch up to him.

Sasuke had awoken hours later and quickly put his clothes on. He had little time to get back to the club before anyone suspected his absence.

Feeling movement around him, Naruto turned over in time to see Sasuke buttoning his shirt. He raked his fingers through his coils before clearing his throat.

"Leaving so soon?" He asked, watching Sasuke tuck his shirt into his pants and button them up. Sasuke glanced at him once before looking back down at what he was doing.

"I have to get back to the club." Sasuke answers after a breath. "I'm pretty sure Itachi wants to go over a few things, then with the ideas you and Shikamaru put together I'm sure He's going to want to find some things to put that into play."

Naruto pursed his lips together and folded his arms across his chest. He didn't mean to pout, but he wanted to be with Sasuke. He was so lost in thought, he hadn't realized Sasuke was close to him untill he felt the raven's slender fingers under his chin, lifting his head upwards. Sasuke placed a small kiss onto the blonde's lips causing him to blush feeling Sasuke's lips pressed against his. Pressing his forehead against Naruto's Sasuke stared at him.

"Come by tonight alright?" He says. "We'll stay at my place."

Naruto couldn't stop himself from continuing his pouting session. "Yeah, alright."

Sasuke smirks before kissing Naruto once more.

*****

"Nice of you to finally join us brother." Itachi says watching Sasuke stroll towards them. All of them making a mental note of Sasuke being in last night's clothing. "And next time come back before we all see your walk of shame."

"Who said anything about it being shameful?" Sasuke finds himself smirking, watching Itachi as his eyes grew slightly wide.

Itachi quickly cleared his throat. "Well, you got get yourself together and we'll finish this conversation."

Sasuke stopped in his tracks and backed up a little. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"What conversation?" He asks.

Shikamaru cleared his throat. "We were talking about a game plan for opening during the day like we talked about." He says.

"Thank you for keeping his secret wedding a secret Shikamaru." Itachi smirks as he pats the lazy man on the back. Sasuke quickly frowned before giving his brother the finger.

"I'll be back." He says before he disappears onto the elevator.

Once in his suite, Sasuke showered and changed clothes. He checked his phone, seeing Naruto had asked him if he was home safely. After replying to the blonde, he found his way back to the club level where the others were still gathered around.

"I've caught a few more angels sniffing around." Kiba says tossing pure white angel wings on the table before them. He had been late to their meeting, just like Sasuke. But for good reasons, unlike his master. Sasuke reached out and touched the feathers, his stomach turning in disgust.

"Something tells me they're starting to learn our identities." Itachi rubs his chin as he stares as the blood stained wings before them. "We need to get tighter on this. No more distractions." Itachi quickly shoots a glance at Sasuke before he scans his eyes over the others. "We need to kill any and everything that looks like it has potential to be an angel. I assume we all know how to spot one. They're not smart enough to trasfer their life force into a former human's body. So we have the one up."

"I haven't had my hands on a pretty little angel in so long." Sakura tilted her head back, feeling the urge to kill. Her green eyes slowly turning red.

"Easy girl." Itachi patted the pinkette on her head, soothing her. He watched her eyes slowly turn back to green as she frowns. "In due time."

"We'll need to focus on this more than we usually do. No more distractions." Itachi cuts his eyes at his brother before continuing his speech. "Listen to every conversation. If it doesn't sound like they're a threat, then listen in on another one. We need to get these angels before they get to us. Is that understood?"

His followers nodded in agreement. Sasuke stood and dusted himself off.

"Well, if this conversation is done then I'm just gonna go ahead and go back to my office and get some work done." He says sticking his hands in his pockets. "I'll see everyone later on tonight? Sakura can you bring a bottle of whiskey to my office?"

As Sasuke turned to walk away, Itachi turned and walked behind him.

"I need to talk to you." Itachi says as he closes the door leading to their quarters.

"Itachi I'm busy."Sasuke says as he unlocks the door to his office. He pushes the door open and walks through the door. Itachi quickly shuts the door behind him.

"You don't look busy." Itachi quickly takes a seat in front of his brother's desk.

Sasuke sat at his desk, grabbed a pen and began looking through the paperwork that Shikamaru had left on his desk. "See?" He says not looking at his brother. "Busy."

Itachi sighed and shifted in his seat a little. Sometimes he wished his brother was a little easier to talk to. He wished everything about Sasuke was different. To him, his little brother acted way too much like their father it almost annoyed the elder Uchiha. Their father was considered a traitor. He went behind Lucifer's back to ask for redemption and to become an angel once more. He felt horrible for leaving God's side to follow Lucifer, leaving his wife, their mother in heaven.

"I was thinking." He starts as he watches his brother. "The angel we encountered several months ago, that we figured was probably Naruto's guardian angel."

Sasuke put his papers down and stared at his brother. An eyebrow raised as he looked over at Itachi. He was wondering where he was going with his statement.

"I was thinking we could possibly use Naruto to lure more angels." Itachi rubbed his chin. "Bring them to us and bring them down. Considering that he is your boyfriend, I thought I would run it by you."

"What gives you the idea that he is my boyfriend?" Sasuke asked with slanted eyes.

"Come on Sasuke." Itachi gave his brother a bored expression. "I've been gone for a while, that doesn't mean you could just go around and lie to me about the two of you. I get you want your privacy, but there's a thin line between hiding and privacy. I'm not telling you to tell me when you fuck him. I just want to know if you're actually fucking him."

Sasuke took in a deep breath. He eyed his brother before rubbing his temples.

"Yes, Itachi." Sasuke says after a moment of silence. "Naruto and I are dating."

"Now was that so hard to say that outloud?" Itachi's arrogant smirk appeared on his face. "I'm glad you're happy. Naruto is a good fit for you."

Sasuke rolls his eyes before picking up his papers. "I'll see what I can do about using Naruto to lure the angels in."

Itachi smirks. "Thank you, little brother." Itachi stands. "I'll see you later on tonight. Don't be late."

Sasuke waved his elder brother off, going back to his work once he heard the door close.

********

Naruto took in a deep breath as he stepped into The Devil's Playground. He'd heard from Hinata what happened to a few angels under his command, and he knew it was time to do some serious investigating. He knew sooner or later he would have to do something to lure those good for noting devil's out, but he wasn't sure how or when he would be able to do that. Most of all, he wanted to keep Sasuke safe. He wouldn't know what he would do if those devils got ahold of his precious Sasuke.

"Hey Naruto!" Karin smiled as once she seen Naruto. She noticed the concentrated look on his face as he walked over to her and her small smile faded. "Are you okay?"

Naruto quickly shook it off and smiled her way. "Yeah, Hey Karin." He sat on one of the bar stools and pressed his lips together. "I was just thinking about something that' all."

"Is it something that's bothering you?" She asked. Naruto shook his head.

"No, not anymore." He smiled. "Just glad to be around my friends right now."

Karin smiled, flattered that Naruto considered her a friend in his life.

"You're always safe here Naruto." She reached over and placed her hand on his, giving him a closed eyed smile. She loved the warmth Naruto gave off. He really made their days brighter. If she didn't know any better, she would definitely think he was an angel.

"Thank you, Karin." He says matching her smile. Shortly after she was called by one of the club goers. Excusing herself, she made her way over. Naruto used that as his way of going up to the second level. Once he stepped to the second level, he quickly made eye contact with Itachi, who smiled at him.

"Ah, Naruto." He says. "How nice of you to join us this evening."

Naruto politely smiled back at the older raven, giving his hand a shake. "Glad I could make it."

"Hey Naruto!" Sotiria popped up from beside Itachi and quickly hugged the blonde. He chuckled lightly and hugged her back. He knew that he would be taunted the entire time he was here, considering that's all Sotiria and Itachi did when it came to he and Sasuke. Speaking of Sasuke...

"My brother should be coming from the back any time now." Itachi says once Sotiria had let go of Naruto in their embrace. His eyes twinkling as he spoke to the small blonde before him.

Naruto pursed his lips and nodded.

"But if I may have a moment of your time to talk with you about any ideas you may have concerning opening the club during the day."

"Ew work related conversation." Sotiria cringed once the words left Itachi's mouth. "I know when I'm not wanted. I'll be over there with Shikamaru and Kiba if the conversation were to change."

Itachi chuckles as he watched his future wife saunter off. His eyes then lands on Naruto.

"I have a question, and I want you to be completely honest with me." He then says once his finace was out of earshot.

"Oh boy, here we go." Naruto chuckles nervously, but knowing where this conversation was really going. "Ask away."

"What's really going on between you and my brother?" Itachi raised a suspicious eyebrow, but Naruto knew that the elder raven knew more than what Naruto could possibly lie about.

It wasn't in his nature to even lie to begin with, but even then he'd been doing a great deal of it since he's met the Uchiha brothers and been in their establishment.

Naruto sighed. "It seems as though you already know, Itachi." Naruto kept his face the same, looking at Itachi with the same smugness the raven held on his own face.

"Do I?" Itachi smirks, reminding Naruto of how much he and Sasuke favored.

Naruto stuck his hands in his pockets, teetering on his heels as he did. "I believe so." Naruto nods shortly, seeing amusement in this whole ordeal. He understood now why Itachi was always as smug as he was.

Itachi chuckles, understanding that Naruto was playing into his word play. He wasn't confirming nor denying what he'd learned from Sasuke just hours earlier, but also keeping a straight face while answering. Maybe this is what Sasuke fell for in Naruto.

"Well, I suppose congratulations are due." Itachi slightly bows as he smiles as the blonde. "I'm glad the two of you make eachother happy."

Naruto chuckles and slightly rolls his eyes as he looks away from the elder blonde. He knew that Itachi for sure had caught on by now, but he didn't think Itachi would actually say something about it.

"I understand if this makes you uncomfortable to talk about this." Itachi says. "So I'll leave it at that." He patted Naruto's shoulder, before taking his leave.

Naruto watched him, slightly relieved that Itachi didn't push it any further. He hummed a sigh before he walked over to the lounge area where everyone was seated. Ino and Sakura were taking orders from the tables surrounding the one Kiba, Shikamaru, Itachi and Sotiria sat at.

He sat in between Sotiria and Kiba, who threw his arm around the blonde.

"Hey dude!" Kiba gave a toothy grin. "Glad you could make it tonight!"

"Thanks." Naruto replies. Kiba happily poured the blonde a drink and handed it to him. Once Naruto began getting comfortable, He felt a familiar presence in the air. Turning his head upwards, he seen Sasuke, looking focused as he spoke to Itachi at the level two balcony, where they always stood. Naruto watched him, how his clothes hung fittingly onto his body. His hair slicked down and brushing against his shoulders, covering one eye as it always did. HIs hands were in his pockets as he spoke to his elder brother, ignoring his surrounding noises.

"You're staring." Sotiria had leaned over and whispered to the blonde. Naruto blinked once, then twice before collecting himself and looking away.

"Can I be honest with you?" Naruto turned to Sotiria, she figured that it would come a time that one or the other would come and confide in her, more so Naruto that Sasuke. She just didn't know it would be so soon.

Pushing that behind her though, she turned to him as well as she put her glass down on the table.

"Of course you can." She says as she smooths out her dress. Her bright green eyes landing on the blonde before her.

"Um, I'm sure you already know about Sasuke and I considering Itachi knows." Naruto starts as he leans into her. Sotiria started to play dumb, but she figured if Naruto caught on to Itachi knowing, he would for sure spot her lies if she tried. Slowly, she nodded.

She then took Naruto's hand in hers before placing the other ontop of his hand, comforting him. "Yes, I know." She says. "I know it's not something you're used to and you're second-guessing your entire life right now, but if Sasuke truly makes you happy then none of that should matter."

Naruto looked down at their hands, feeling her comfort as she spoke her words. He took in a breath.

"Sometimes I feel like he thinks I might be scared to come out about it because of the things you guys say about us." He says as he looks back over at Sasuke. The younger raven was so caught up in his job, he didn't even notice Naruto was there, let alone tried to look for the blonde. He watched Sasuke talk to a brunette. She smiled flirtaciously at Sasuke, placing her hand on his shoulder as he spoke to her. Naruto watched Sasuke smirk at the girl before he brought his glass to his lips, his eyes shift around before they land back on the girl. "I-I honestly don't want that."

Sotiria smiles, seeing just how much Naruto really loves Sasuke. "Sasuke isn't the type to fear anything." She says. "He doesn't even fear his own father let alone whatever his deepest fear could be. He knows if you really want to be with him, you would."

Naruto purses his lips into a smile as he looked at Sotiria. "Thank you."

She nods.

*****

Sasuke tried to show he wasn't bored with the girl's conversation, but he couldn't help it. After a while, he excused himself and made his way to the first level. He manuvered through the crowd before he made it to the bar. He knocked on the counter, gaining Karin's attention. She smiled before sashaying his way.

"Hey handsome." She smirks placing a hand on her hip as she leaned on the counter.

Sasuke smirks himself. "Hey yourself." He says playing along with her. She giggled at him.

"How can I help you?" She says batting her eyelashes.

"I was wondering if you've seen Naruto?" He asked his question, then regretted it when he saw the sprakle in her eye.

"He should be up on the second level." Karin answers his question. "He came here about a few hours ago. I thought you would've saw him by now."

Sasuke frowned, pretty annoyed that he haddn't seen his little blonde he's been there.

"Thank you Karin." Sasuke managed to say before he turned around. He made his way back up to the second level. He scanned the area and before he knew it, Sasuke found Naruto. The blonde was sitting with Sotiria, possibly a little drunk. He was laughing and chatting with both Sotiria and Kiba.

Sasuke stepped forward, watching Naruto throw his head back and laugh loudly.

"Naruto." He calls the blonde's name, halting everything that was going on at that moment. Naruto's eyes turn upward, landing on Sasuke. His lips curling into a smile and he quickly stood up.

"Hey!" Naruto exclaims as he circles around the table and hugs Sasuke. The action took the raven back a moment. He felt his heart rate rise and knew that Naruto had to be drunk in order to feel comfortable enough to do that.

"Hey yourself." Sasuke finds himself saying. Once the two of them parted, he got a good look at Naruto. His cheek were rosy, indicating that he was indeed intoxicated. Sasuke took in a breath. "Glad you could make it."

"I wasn't gonna not come." Naruto frowns. "I wanna show you something."

Sasuke cocked an eyebrow before looking over at Sotiria who shrugged. His eyes lands on Naruto, who pulls him along. They walked towards the back of the club, where the offices were located. Naruto pulled Sasuke through the door, and closed it. Once it was closed, Naruto pulled Sasuke to his body, and quickly placed his lips on his. Sasuke was a bit shocked, and slightly stumbled when Naruto pulled his body towards him. As they kissed, Sasuke felt his breath being taken away. He grabbed Naruto's face, deepening the kiss. After a few minutes, the both of them reluctantly pulled away from eachother.

"Is that what you wanted to show me?" Sasuke smirks as he presses his forehead against Naruto's. The blonde chuckled.

"It seems you were working to hard, I had to steal a few minutes away from you."

Sasuke again pressed his lips against Naruto's. Their tongues dance with eachother, both of their bodies getting hot.

******

Itachi stared onto the first level, feeling Sotiria bump her hip against his as he stood there. He looked down at her as she smiled at him.

"Naruto told me he and Sasuke are dating now." She says crossing her arms.

"Sasuke told me as well." Itachi says looking onto the crowd. "My thing is, will this stop Sasuke from working."

"Probably not." Sotiria crosses her arms. "He knows what's more improtant."

"Hn, you don't know my family." Itachi takes in a breath.

Sotiria reaches out and takes her lovers hand. "He's different from your father, Itachi." 

"Yeah, I hope so."
