Naruto imagined that the day he met Sasuke again would be one of rage and emotion, blood and weariness, tears and a good deal of pain. He imagined looking into those virtually opaque eyes and seeing there that barely controlled fury Sasuke kept just beneath his veneer of cool control, slithering just out of sight but poised to lash out, quick and brutal, if provoked.

So it came as a bit of a shock when, one night in a village far from Fire Country, Naruto caught a glimpse of that sharingan-red gaze as Sasuke scrambled over a twenty foot stone wall, something Naruto would have found ridiculously easy to vault, and landed rather unceremoniously on his knees. He was clutching what had to be clothes seeing as he was dressed in only black boxers.

“Sasuke?” Naruto whispered, too struck to speak any louder. Sasuke’s hair stood out from his head at odd angles (odder than what Naruto remembered anyway) and he looked flushed.

Sasuke stiffened, pale body gleaming in the darkness. He turned to face the blond, his eyes widening when they fixed on Naruto. “Naruto,” he said, recovering quickly and sounding almost laughably calm. “This…isn’t what it looks like.”

Naruto blinked, bewildered that Sasuke would even bother to explain himself. Where was his brooding avenger?

Sasuke’s eyes suddenly flew to the direction of the walled house he’d just fled and he muttered something incoherent before disappearing in a blur of pale skin.

A moment later, another blur blew past Naruto’s shock-prone form, shouting, “Get back here and marry my daughter, you unscrupulous bastard!” followed by an array of threats that made Naruto, even in his daze, wince and cover his crotch protectively.

Sasuke made quite a racket and Naruto couldn’t help but notice that the Uchiha was less than stealthy in his escape…and certainly less than what Naruto remembered of the child prodigy.

But he supposed fear of marriage and mutilation of one’s privates could do that to a ninja.

Naruto quickly gathered his bearings and took off after Sasuke.

…end?
