Chapter One

Naruto squeezed the papers in one hand as he turned the stirring wheel and drove the car into the driveway. He stopped the car and hoped to God Sasuke had a perfectly good explanation for this or he really would not be responsible for his actions. That utter bastard, who the hell does he think he is?

Naruto marched heavy feet down the pathway to the door and turned the knob. The sweet smell of something baking wafted past his nose. Cake.

Naruto turned for the kitchen his hand squeezing the papers so hard he won't be surprised if they tore. He found Sasuke in the kitchen wearing his usual peach apron, sexy black bed hair and light - blue pyjama. So he was just waking up after all. Naruto glared at his back.

"Oh, welcome home husband. I didn't know you would be coming back so early, "Sasuke turned and looked at Naruto with curiosity. He lifted the spatula coated in batter and probably enough sugar to kill a person to his lips and licked.

"Sasuke! "Naruto marched into the room and slam the papers on the counter. Usually he would be stymied and distracted by the sexy picture his husband made and his body would be a lot more interested than he was right now but this was the last straw. "What is the meaning of this? "

Sasuke glanced towards the papers and Naruto knew that he was aware of what they were. "Oh that, "said Sasuke.

"Don't give me that, "Naruto snapped, "why the hell did you close all my accounts? "

"Sorry, Naruto. I must have forgot to mention it but we are moving. "Sasuke turned from him and started doing something with the spatula. Naruto was not having that. Sasuke can not just say that and then act so casually. Naruto walked towards him and turned him around so they could meet eye to eye.

"What gave you the right to decide that on your own, Sasuke. "Naruto felt the vibration of his voice, a reflection of his anger. "You think you can just uproot my life whenever and to wherever? Sasuke, you have to discuss things like this with me before you do them damn it. "

Sasuke was listening but Naruto wondered how much of what he said was really reaching him. Sasuke was always like this. He pretended to care, to listen to what Naruto wanted then go off and does whatever he likes.

"I'm sorry Naruto, I meant to tell you, "Sasuke said meeting Naruto's eyes "but this was too important. We have to move as soon as possible—"

"Again. "Naruto frowned, "this is the third time Sasuke. Will you tell me what the hell you are running from. "

Sasuke lowered his eyes courteously but that didn't fool Naruto. He used his forefinger to lift Sasuke's chin and met his eyes, "don't you dare lie to me, Sasuke, "he said as gently as he could but Naruto was nearing his limit. Not again. Not again. He would not do this again, not even for Sasuke.

Sasuke met his eyes, Naruto always liked how he could do that but then... "I won't lie to you Naruto. We are moving because I have been transfered that's all. "

He would lie. Sasuke always lied when he was meeting Naruto's eyes. When there was not even so much as a blink or twitch on his facial muscles. When his face was so blank and natural it was fishy. Naruto frowned and pressed his lips together. Let Sasuke make of what he pleased about his expression.

"Transfer Huh? Is that what you were talking over the phone so secretly the other day. Or is that why you won't let me use your phone, or why you delete your messages immediately you read them. Or why you disappear for days without so much as a word?! "

Sasuke stared up at him then looked away pretending to flush, "Naruto - kun, I had no idea you watch me so closely. "

Naruto slammed his hand on the counter behind Sasuke, upsetting the bowl of batter. "I'm not joking Sasuke, enough. I've had enough of your secrets and half truths. Tell me everything right now. "

Sasuke stayed silent then he smiled and slipped past Naruto. Naruto had not realized he had crowded Sasuke against the counter. "I don't know what you mean Naruto, why are you being so suspicious of me all of a sudden. " Sasuke took off his apron and stood with one hand on his hips.

Naruto knew that stance and that look. Sasuke's black eyes were dark but Naruto could see the shift in them, the calculating way his eyes roam Naruto's body. "Don't even think about it Sasuke, we are having this conversation, "he said with a glare. "What aren't you telling me and why? Enough with all the secrets "

Sasuke sighed and walked towards him in a slow graceful movement, his body sensual and captivating. He circled Naruto's neck with his arms. "I will tell you everything you need to know as long as you press me up against that counter and fuck me, "he whispered.

Naruto resisted his body's immediate response to the request. "Sasuke, "two fingers were held to his lips and Sasuke smiled. His lips full and within reach, all Naruto would have to do was move less than an inch to claim them. Naruto forcefully pulled his eyes from Sasuke's lips cursing himself for being so weak.

"It's no use resisting my love, "Sasuke kissed him. The familiar weight and feel of Sasuke's warm lips as they pressed against Naruto threatened to steal his reason. Naruto turned his head away panting.

Sasuke laughed, "that's the first time you've pulled away from my kisses. "

"That's because this is important to me Sasuke, I have made friends here, I have a life here. I won't move. "Naruto turned to meet his eyes.

"You will, "Sasuke caressed his cheeks with long fingers. "We can't stay here anymore Naruto, you have to understand. "

Naruto pulled away from Sasuke's warm body. "You can't tell me what I can do. And I don't understand anything, not when you won't tell me. "

"I have, you just think there is something else besides what I'm telling you. "Sasuke replied his hands at his side.

"Oh really, so you have to transfer every six months? Is that normal for every job. We've been married for three years and we've had to move two times already. "Naruto shook his head, "I'm not an idiot that I would buy that crap a third time. Tell me what's really going on Sasuke. "

Sasuke exhaled and lowered his head, "very well. I'm leaving my job. "

"Huh? "Leaving his job? "What do you mean, why? "

"Well, for various reason but mostly because my boss has been sexually harassing me. I know that I am beautiful so of course that's normal but I can't take it anymore... "

Naruto clenched his fist and lowered his eyes. "Enough Sasuke! We are not going anywhere. If you want to leave your job because of that utter BS then you can do that and look for another job here in the city. "Naruto had had enough. He won't put up with this one more bit. If Sasuke wanted to leave then he can do so on his own. Naruto turned to leave but Sasuke caught his arm. Naruto glared at him.

"Can't you just accept that thdis is important? "Sasuke had used this very line the second time he tried to convince Naruto to leave and the blind foolish Naruto too in love with the jerk to think had agreed.

"No. I can't just accept that, Sasuke. My life is not a toy that you can plug and unplug. I'm not a piece of furniture for you to move about. If you must leave then leave but know that I will file for a divorce. "Naruto felt so much better letting that out. When he had received the information about how all his account had been closed and every trace of his existence about to disappear from this town Naruto had thought I can't do this again. If I have to then I will end it.

Even the look of surprise on Sasuke's face did not drive the feeling away. Naruto exhaled. "This is it Sasuke. My ultimatum. You can go on running on your own or you treat me like a human being and your husband and tell me everything. If not I will end everything. "

Sasuke laughed but Naruto heard the shake he tried to hide. "You won't do that. Just because of this? "

Naruto schooled his expression so Sasuke could see how serious he was. He would not take any more chances with Sasuke. He loved Sasuke, heaven knew he did but this was about as much as he could take.

"Naruto, we've been together for eight years, are you really just going to throw all that away. " Sasuke looked really shocked and Naruto could hear the disbelief in his voice. "Just because of this? Just because you've to move some town away? "

Naruto shook his head feeling sorry for both of them. "You think that's all of it? I have always known you were keeping things from me Sasuke and for the most part of our college year I thought you were having an affair. I had quite the angst with that. Then when we married it was as if I became insignificant. You never talked to me about important things, you don't tell me anything. You leave me out of the loop of your life. I wake up at night thinking about what I really know about you and I don't know a damn thing. Eight years together I don't know who your family are. Isn't that weird? I think that's weird. I don't know what I am to you or what you take me for. "

"You are my husband and if I do not tell you certain things it's because they are unimportant. "Sasuke said. He was serious. That was good, if he was not as serious Naruto was sure he would have felt worst and maybe even give in.

"You don't get to decide what's important and what isn't on your own. Even if it's unimportant I want to know about it. "

They stared each other down and Sasuke opened his mouth and closed a few times making Naruto think he was finally going to say it all. What he has been hiding all these while. Why it was that he left home suddenly and returned just as suddenly. That night Naruto had seen blood on his shirt. Where had he been? Whose blood was that? Naruto clenched his hand, heart beating faster and faster.

"I can't tell you anything I haven't already told you, Naruto. Please, please just come with me okay. I'm going to treat you better from now on, I promise. "Sasuke sounded honest and Naruto's disappointment was so heavy they threatened to crush him. He half closed his eyes and bit the inside of his lip.

"I'm going upstairs. "He turned and walked out of the room.

Naruto held the papers to his chest for hours. Or what felt like it. He felt like just running away and turning his eyes away. maybe I should just move. Maybe I shouldn't do this.

Naruto shook the weak thoughts away. He'd already decided. No more. No more lies, no more enduring and being patient for Sasuke to change. Sasuke never will, he just had to accept that.

With a deep breath Naruto entered Sasuke's study and immediately Sasuke flipped his phone closed and raised his eyes to Naruto. "Hey husband, "he smiled.

Naruto did not return the smile. He even choose not to think about who Sasuke had been talking to when he walked in. That too was over. The fear that the man he loved, this beautiful man whom Naruto had always felt was too good for him, was getting tired of him was over. Naruto would move on. He'd leave this house and find a very small cute apartment to stay. He'd always like small apartments. He would make it homely and warm and he'd never feel lonely.

He placed the paper on Sasuke's table. "What's this? "Sasuke looked apprehensively at the papers. He must have guessed what they were.

"Sign it, "Naruto said.

Sasuke looked at him then he hastily tore the file open. The chair fell as Sasuke got to his feet and Naruto met his eyes straight on.

"You are —what's this! Why did you file for a divorce? "

"I told you I will. "Naruto kept his face blank. He wasn't as good as Sasuke but he refused to give Sasuke the pleasure of seeing his anger and how shaken he really was. Damn him.

"Naruto, please. We can talk about this. "Sasuke started to turn from behind his table towards Naruto.

"You should have thought of that before you shut down my restaurant. You think I wouldn't know it was you? Buy the building just to drive me out, you bastard. I have told you to stop trying to control my life. "Naruto glared at him hands clenched at his side.

"I —"

"Try and deny it, "Naruto scoffed, "it won't change anything. I'm done. "Naruto turned to leave and Sasuke caught his hand.

"Okay, if it's the restaurant I will get you a bigger one. I promise. Just... don't do this. "He pulled Naruto towards himself and buried his nose against Naruto's neck. Naruto exhaled and looked at the dark ceiling. "Please my love, don't destroy all we have so easily. I know I can be difficult, but I can change. I will change. Just give me a chance. "

Naruto turned with a groan and cupped Sasuke's cheek and kissed him hard enough to bruise. "This is it, Sasuke. I can't take anymore. If you can change then you would have done so years ago. I'm done waiting. "Naruto forcefully pulled himself away and walked towards the door.

Sasuke grabbed onto his shirt and wouldn't let him leave. His pleadings touched Naruto in places he tried to keep cold. Naruto had no choice but to leave the house entirely and threatened to kill himself if Sasuke followed him.

Naruto sighed and wiped sweat from his head. He'd already been to three places and found no restaurant that could measure up to his old one. Damn that Sasuke. Just when business was starting to boom. Naruto had friends here that he never had anywhere. None of them knew of his past so they did not treat him differently. Things were looking up after a life time of sucking, why should they move now.

Hopefully Sasuke would see reason soon but... if he didn't Naruto had no plans for backing down on the divorce. What he was asking for wasn't much. Just that Sasuke explain to him why they had to move. All those secrets he's been keeping.

Naruto stopped at a store to grab dinner. He'd left home and turned off his phone when Sasuke had called incessantly through out the night. Sasuke must have known Naruto would go to Kiba's place to pass the night, it's a good thing he didn't come prancing there to ask Naruto to reconsider. Honestly that man can be so annoyingly persistent.

Still. Naruto sat on a table near the window of the diner and pulled out his phone. He'd turned it on all day and not a single call from Sasuke. What is he thinking?

A male waiter came over and took Naruto's order. He kept trying to make conversations with him and though Naruto didn't mind he didn't think it was proper to spend so much time on one customer.

Naruto ordered fries and burgers. He sighed. It would have been great if he could prepare something more healthy. If he had been at home that would have been a easy. Sasuke did not know how to cook. Has he eaten today?

Naruto shook his head and focused on chewing on the fries. They test awful. The chef must have kept them covered, they've become soft and squishy. Naruto sighed again, wishing for his own home cooked meal.

His phone rang and he wiped his hands off on a napkin and picked up the phone expecting Sasuke's caller id.

"Huh? "It was an unknown number. Naruto answered on the third ring.

"Hello? Is this Uzumaki Naruto? "

Naruto did not recognize the voice. "Yes? "

"Your husband, Uchiha Sasuke has been in an accident. Please come to... "

Naruto did not hear the rest. The phone slipped from his hand as well as his heart froze in place.

To be continued...
