Drabble Title: New Year
Genre: Romance/Fluff
Summary: Prayers and wishes.

Sasuke tugged at his new kimono uncomfortably. The dark fabric was heavy and cumbersome, not to mention it made him feel as if he was getting roasted under the numerous folds. He hadn’t worn anything so fine since he was a child. It would only have gotten in the way of his training. If it weren’t for the golden haired boy at his side, he would never have even thought to buy this expensive traditional robe.

Naruto bounced along beside him, chattering away gaily, a bright smile on his face, looking for all the world as if he was nine instead of nineteen. The shorter boy did not seem to find his light blue kimono a nuisance, swinging his limbs carelessly and skipping to keep up with Sasuke’s longer strides.

Sasuke eyed Naruto appreciatively. The kimono made Naruto look more like a girl than ever, and the color matched the boy’s fathomless blue eyes.

It would be so much fun to peel the layers off his lover later…

They made their way down the crowded streets, bumping into people in the process. Naruto latched onto Sasuke’s arm in order not to be separated from him. If any other person had dared to do the same, Sasuke would probably have sent him a death glare and a katon, but the Uchiha endured it from Naruto with no more than a sigh and a half-hearted roll of his eyes.

The shrine was even more crowded than the streets. The villagers mingled about, some paying their respects to the gods, some getting their fortunes told, others writing New Year’s wishes on pieces of paper attached to mandarin oranges by strings and tossing them up into a wising tree in the shrine’s courtyard.

The higher you could get your wish up the tree, the more chance of it coming true, Sasuke explained to Naruto.

The two boys made their New Year prayers and then Naruto got Sasuke to pay for him to make a wish at the wishing tree. The blonde threw in his biggest, squishiest, most uke-ish eyes for good measure, and Sasuke ended up buying him dango as well.

After that, they (Naruto excitedly and enthusiastically, Sasuke apathetically and boredly) spent their entire afternoon visiting friends. The evening was reserved for dinner with their childhood friends and former instructors.

So it wasn’t until they were back in their own home, their own room, their own bed, their expensive clothing strewn haphazardly on the floor, their pants subsiding to more regular breathing, that Sasuke remembered to ask Naruto what he had prayed and wished for at the shrine that morning.

“It wouldn’t come true if I told you, bastard,” Naruto retorted sleepily. “And it isn’t like you really don’t know anyway.”

Sasuke smirked, curling an arm around his lover’s waist and pulling him closer. “But I want to hear you say it out loud, and you made the wish using my money, so I’m entitled.”

Naruto stuck his tongue out at the dark haired boy, but relented nevertheless.

“Oh, alright. I wished and prayed that no one would ever come between ramen and me, because I can’t live without my wonderful ramen! Happy?”

Sasuke stared at Naruto for a stunned moment.

Then he growled, snatched up his pillow, and proceeded to try smother Naruto with it.

Up in the highest branch of the wishing tree, the paper containing Naruto’s wish fluttered in the night breeze.

“I wish that Sasuke and I will be together forever and ever!”

End.
