*Slides 20 $ bill* I would like to hear more that AU of yours with Daisy. Y'know, that SasuIru one.
oh BOY
ok so.Ā
The premise of this AU is that Naruto, bored to death of his desk work and seeking some thrill in the form of doing a mission (saving the world, etc), gets himself involved in a small war between two countries close by. But he under estimates just how advanced poisons are, and ends up getting himself killed. One country takes the opportunity to blame the other, and bring back Narutoās corpse and get help from the Leaf to end the war. He pulls a Mr. Incredible but he dies.Ā
Sasukeās called back for the funeral but instead of feeling legitimately mournful he just feels... free? He doesnāt know what to do with himself now.
But they need a new Hokage, and theyāre not sure who to choose. Kakashiās retired and doesnāt want to, Tsunadeās too old now, but thereās always someone who Naruot never shutup about. His Supporting Shadow. TheĀ āCo-Hokage.āĀ
Now, at the time of this AU, It was not public information that the old council was still alive, so I made up a new, younger council who would be fed on the positive, sensation of Sasuke and so their #1 choice is Sasuke. Sasuke doesnāt really wantĀ to, heās been weaned off the idea of Hokage for a long time, and he thinks heās a really shitty choice. He doesnāt have the charisma Naruto does, and he doesnāt like being in the spotlight. But eventually heās chosen, and Iruka is promoted from Principal of the Academy to Sasukeās personal assistant.Ā
Itās kind of a mess at first. Sasukeās got to shakily build his self esteem back. Heās suddenly got all of this power and all of these people that are depending on him and making requests of him and coupled with is mental issues, Iruka becomes a really solid rock for him.
Being Hokage also means heās now in the village 24/7. He canāt leave when things get weird for him, and that means having to deal with Sakura daily. And Iruka can tell Sasukeās not into it. That he doesnāt really like her presence, and itās not fair for Sakura to have a husband whoās clearly not in love with her. Itās Iruka who convinces Sasuke to divorce, purely for Sasuke and Sakuraās health. Irukaās intentions are honestly pure here, even if Sakura will never forgive him.
Free of his marriage, Sasuke can further throw himself into his Hokage work, depending more and more on Iruka until he realizes he likesĀ him. And Sasukeās not gonna really sit with that info, heās gonna do something with it.
So on a night that Iruka is walking him home (a habit they developed to make sure the other person stays home, since they tend to overwork), Sasuke confesses. He says he likes him. Iruka thinks nothing of it and says he likes Sasuke too, and goes on his way home.
...And is back hours later, in nothing but his pajamas, to verify exactly what Sasuke meant. And heās kind of horrified at first-- not only are they both men, but theyāre boss and employee, and Sasuke used to be his student once. Iruka says a relationship would be highly inappropriate, and while Sasuke is sad, heās not really going to argue it, because he knows what itās like to be chased down and heās not gonna do that to Iruka.
Eventually Iruka does cave. Sure, Sasuke was his student, but Sasukeās over thirty now, and they can work around the rest if theyāre private about it, yeah? Be discreet about it. And heās in for it once he realizes Sasuke doesnāt know jack shitĀ about sex, despite having been married and having a child. Slowly and slowly, they get more serious, and Sasuke, because heās been told he has to be discreet about PDA, decides he wants to be ATROCIOUSLY affectionate.
He finally legitimately likes someone, why the fuck does he have to actually hide it now? Fuck that noise. Itās a great source of frustration for Iruka, and the wives of many politicians are jealous as fuck that Sasuke loves Iruka so much and is so open about it.Ā
So.... there. I love this AU so much.Ā
