SNSmonth 24 – A/B/O Verse
Sasuke closed the door behind him, a tired yawn finally escaping him– hidden away in the privacy of his apartment. Work had been tough today and it had gotten pretty late once again – luckily, they had managed to finish the project at last. No more long hours. That meant he could finally relax again and more importantly spend some time with his loved one.
Curious about the unusual silence around him, Sasuke peaked inside the living room. The floor lamp was on, pulled over next to their large orange couch. Sasuke still couldn’t believe he had let Naruto talk him into buying that hideous thing. Yet, the blonde had looked so, so happy back then; his blinding smile shooting an arrow right through Sasuke’s heart.
He started moving closer, tiptoeing – until he came to a sudden halt. Sasuke couldn’t help but stare for a long moment, his eyes quickly taking in the sight presented in front of him. Naruto was spread out on their couch, completely surrounded by all kinds of pillows (even the ones from their bedroom), and – on top of that – holding a hoodie which Sasuke recognized instantly to be his own in his arms, cuddling the cloth.
Unconsciously Sasuke etched the imagine into his memory.
Naruto had built a nest. Sasuke had heard about those things from his mother, had known that some omegas still did that – it was supposed to be an instinct, mostly when they missed their mate. Sasuke bit his lip. He has indeed been very busy lately, doing a lot of overtime. Naruto had never said anything though, he had never criticized him.
He would definitely make it up to Naruto, he decided. Carefully, the raven reached out, softly caressing the blonde’s cheek. At first, there was a small whimper, a twitch – just before Naruto slowly opened his eyes, looking at the other sleepily.
“Sas.”, a small smile crossed Naruto’s face. “You’re finally home.”
Sasuke gave him a short nod. “Sorry for taking so long.”
Naruto turned slightly, facing him completely. “Don’t worry about it. You had to finish that project, after all. It happens.”
Sasuke hesitated for a moment. He was so incredibly lucky, he realized once again. He was so in love.
“Can I come into the nest?”
It was almost comical, how Naruto’s eyes instantly widened – a deep blush spreading over his cheeks at the realization. He seemed to have completely forgotten for a moment. Sasuke gave him a smirk.
“O..of course.”, Naruto pulled the hoodie up, hiding his face. “Idiot.”, he mumbled. He could feel Sasuke sitting down next to him. The raven carefully pulled the hoodie away, revealing a still very red-faced Naruto.
For a moment, they just wordlessly stared at each other.
Naruto eventually averted his eyes again. He cleared his throat.
“Do… you like it? The nest, I mean.” There was a small pout on his face. However annoying Naruto found this, his inner omega demanded his alpha’s praise. Sasuke would kindly give him that.
He was used to his mate’s antics by now. He moved his hand, brushing through Naruto’s soft blonde locks. Then, Sasuke leaned down, effortlessly placing a small kiss on the other’s head.
“I love it.”, he whispered, smiling against Naruto’s ear.
