"Naruto reporting for the first day of work as Sasuke's lover!"
The slumbering raven-haired student hadn't been expecting such a loud wake-up call. The smell of coffee and toast woke the Uchiha immediately. Did Naruto burn the kitchen down making breakfast?
"Don't worry. I didn't destroy your kitchen. Even if I did I could fix it easily you know?" Snapping his fingers, Naruto activated his magic to draw the curtains open. With a dumbfounded expression, Sasuke didn't put two and two together till Naruto rolled his eyes and sighed dramatically.
"Fox magic. Now get out of bed and eat. I ran through your schedule. Class starts at nine. I'll meet you at the main gates after class. You can take that chance to announce that you're no longer single."
Suspicious at the sudden maturity in Naruto's attitude, the student frowned. "Are you alright? Did you hit your head this morning?"
Huffing in indignation, the blond fox glared at the human. "Rude! In case you haven't noticed, I'm a lot older than you are. Pretending to be someone's lover isn't exactly rocket science. Foxes are trained in trickery and even though I'm not as capable in magic, I graduated with top marks in wits."
"You mean there are schools in the demon world?"
"Yes, there are. Where do you think we learn how to transform? Unlike humans, we don't have parents. Some of us are born from Hagoromo Gitsune every few hundred years. We are direct descendants and purebred demons. Others are cultivated from many lives as foxes to become a fox spirit, they are the deities you worship to."
"Which one are you?"
"I'm a child of Hagoromo Gitsune the mother of all foxes. I'm still young, only in my eighties. My older brother Kurama, the one I get along with, was born in the Edo period. Seeing how I lived through the first human world war, I think I can carry myself well enough."
"Edo period. Your older brother is three hundred years older than you are."
"You haven't seen anything. The oldest sibling we have was said to be born in the Kamakura period. Hagoromo Gitsune was said to exist since before that. In any case, that's not important. You better start running before you're late. I'll answer your questions later."
Glancing at the clock, Sasuke saw how right Naruto was. With less than an hour to spare, the Uchiha grabbed his bag and hurried to get dressed.
"Please wear something decent. You can find anything you like in the closet or go shopping. Use my card for any purchases you need. I'm going now."
"Have a safe trip!" Smiling, the fox demon waved to his pretend lover and cheekily blew a kiss.
Sasuke cringed at the action but scowled when he realised Naruto was only teasing. The soft ding alerted the student of the elevator's arrival and left the scene hurriedly. Naruto chuckled. This human was fun to play with. Perhaps if he played his cards right the human could help him save on expenses he needed to live in the human world, giving him more time to plan his strategy. He had a hundred people to trick after all.
Closing the door, the blond fox wondered how he should dress. If Sasuke was going to pretend to have a gay lover he might as well look the part. "Well, it's either all gay or nothing at all. I suppose he can deal with it."
Strolling to the closet, Naruto scowled. The student had some dull choices in fashion. Everything was black, white or blue with the first row not even being colours. Dress shirts, slacks and maybe a jacket or two is all there was in the Uchiha's closet. If the interior design of the house wasn't boring, the clothes were enough to convince Naruto the man needed a more interesting life.
"Well, shopping it is. The last time Kurama told me about human fashion had been about a hundred years back. I'm sure they don't wear the same things anymore. Heck, even Sasuke didn't wear geta with a sword attached to his hip!"
Picturing the man in a traditional samurai outfit made Naruto drool a little. "Maybe it wouldn't be too bad if Sasuke dressed as they did. However, the duck butt hairstyle he had now will be much better than that old fashioned samurai topknot."
With a skip, the blond fox demon left the apartment. "No clue where to start but it shouldn't be too difficult," convinced, the fox set off to hunt for clothes.

"Would you happen to know where the nearest shopping district is?"
The poor brunette could only blush as the handsome stranger flashed a hundred-watt smile. Clear blue eyes seemed to sparkle in the sunlight and his hair spun from gold glowed like a halo.
"Um… it's just down the next street…"
Naruto grinned and thanked the lady. Leaving the blushing woman who had trouble staying on her feet, the young demon hummed merrily as he walked down the pavement with a bounce in every step.
The shopping district was easy to spot and Naruto grinned. He was going to shop to his heart's content. "Let's see what Tokyo has to offer!"
Akihabara fashion choices were unquestionable and Naruto loved how everything screamed gay. From cosplays to visual kei clothing the poor kit was spoilt of choices.
Entering the first store he was greeted by cross-dressing men.
"Oh my, aren't you a pretty one? What are you looking for? Perhaps I could help?"
"Stop it Lussuria! I'm so sorry, he didn't mean to scare you. I'm Haku. How can we assist you?"
Naruto stared at the person in front of him. There was no doubt the person was strikingly beautiful but something about the scent was off. "You're a male right?"
Haku looked surprised but soon giggled. "Yes, I am. You're the first person to have ever guessed correctly."
Naruto grinned. "Well, I can't say I blame them. You're really pretty."
"Thank you. Is there anything I could help you with though?"
Naruto looked around the shop. Most of the clothes were for females even if the employees were male. "I was wondering if there were some clothes for me. I have a date later but I have nothing apart from boring black, white and blue clothes at home."
"Where is the date going to be? What kind of person are you date?"
Naruto thought for a while. "He's moody, and grumpy on the outside like an ice king. However deep down he's very warm and fairly innocent. He's sensitive and emotional but I can sense he's very hurt too."
If Haku noticed how Naruto mentioned his date was a male he didn't show it. Instead, he donned a flawless smile. "In that case could I recommend something less dramatic? We do have street fashion just inside but I think your lover might prefer something of higher quality. I'll recommend these black skinny jeans and this orange V-neck tee. You can change in the room behind. Do let me know should you require any assistance."
Naruto whistled as he took the clothes from the petite man. Haku had good taste. As he changed, Naruto wondered if Sasuke might fall for him for real. These clothes were indeed made for him. The black skinny jeans were ripped above the knees to show off his slender thighs. The cutting was low and it revealed that those pelvic muscles and hugged his pert bottom, emphasising the sway as he walked. The orange deep V neck tee gave others a glimpse of that delectable collar bone and some chest muscle eye candy. It fit so snuggly that it hid nothing. His arm muscles were highlighted every time he flexed and the way it hugged his upper body made his back look broader. Naruto was feeling a little naked with only jeans and a tee.
"Haku, is there any accessory store or shoe shops you could recommend? Also, I would like more tees like this one. It's really comfortable."
The pretty boy smiled. "Of course. If you're looking for accessories I would suggest Ribbon Valley across the street. As for shoes, I'm sure there are many good shops along the way. You're looking good by the way. Never seen anyone pull off orange as well as you do."
Grinning, Naruto looked back at the orange shirt. "I suppose orange really is my colour. It's hard to find a good colour because I'm tanned with blond hair."
"Well, I don't think pink looks bad on you but I suppose not many people are accepting of that colour."
"I'll have to try it another day then. I don't want to shock my date when we've just started."
"All the best! I hope you enjoy your date later on."
"Thank you." As Naruto carried the shopping bags after making paying for them, Lussuria sighed forlornly.
"Cheer up. Your springtime will come."
"Please don't say that. It reminds me of a certain bushy-browed green spandex wearing man."
Haku only giggled at his co-worker's plight.
While the blond walked down the street looking out for the shoe shops and accessory store, he failed to spot all the glances coming his way. Naruto was still deep in his thoughts when someone groped him from behind.
Yelping in surprise, the blond dropped his bags and turned around. Frowning when he didn't catch his molester, Naruto decided to shorten the shopping trip. Humans were really daring these days.
After finding Ribbon Valley, the blond decided to head inside. There were so many different types of trinkets inside that Naruto was unable to decide where he wanted to start.
An hour passed by quickly as Naruto became the proud owner of five bracelets, four rings and two necklaces. He wore one necklace, two rings and a bracelet while the rest were packaged neatly into a small bag.
"Next stop, shoes."
The third shoe shop later, Naruto wondered if he would ever find what he was looking for.
"Hey you, don't sit here. You're not helping with the business."
"Sorry, was just taking a break. Do you happen to know of any shoe shops that sell boots?"
The middle-aged man looked at the blond for a while before pointing at the street. "There is a visual kei shop there. I'm sure they have something you'll like. Normal shoe shops won't have the boots you're looking for. Also, I think you should be careful. There has been a group of men stalking you for a while now."
Naruto's eyes widened. True enough at three o'clock there were a group of suspicious-looking men. "Thanks for the tip. I should get going now."
The shop keeper merely nodded as he watched the handsome youngster leave. Well, it won't be his problem should a pretty thing get raped, he had warned the man.
It didn't take long for Naruto to emerge from the visual kei store with new boots. The boots were heavy just the way he liked it. They were very different from the uncomfortable dress shoes Sasuke loaned him. Combat boots, skinny jeans, orange V neck, cream-coloured shawl, checker-patterned sash for a belt and silver accessories made Naruto feel confident. Sasuke's fangirls should be more than convinced to leave the man alone with this get up.
Feeling the men approaching, Naruto hastened his pace. "They'll have no problem staying away if I actually do manage to get out of here untouched."

It was currently three-fifty in the afternoon. Naruto heaved a sigh of relief. It took a while to shake those creepy men off his tail but he made it in time to meet Sasuke. Classes end at four so the Uchiha should be out in no time.
Fifteen minutes later the blond heard a huge commotion approaching the gates. There was a huge group of girls surrounding a very dark looking Sasuke. The poor man looked as if he would snap at any moment and murder everyone on the campus.
"Hey there Mr. Popular," the fox teased.
At the sound of the voice he had gotten so used to over the past few days, Sasuke's gaze snapped to where his pretend lover was. Leaning against the wall by the main entrance was no other than the bewitching fox demon he had saved about a week back.
The boy looked absolutely sinful and if Sasuke hadn't been convened he was a demon before, he certainly was now. No man alive should be able to look this wrong. Feeling a certain part of his body react to the sight of his pretend lover, Sasuke cursed. "I'm straight! Must be the fox's spell or something…"
"Naruto!"
The girls immediately stopped chattering. Their glares turned to looks of adoration at the new hottie in town. "Sasuke-kun! Who is he? I've never seen him before, he's so handsome! Is he a model? Are you friends? Could you introduce him to us?"
Questions were bombarded at the poor Uchiha that Naruto had to come in and rescue the human.
"I'm sorry girls," he pulled the slightly taller man over to him and then wrapped his arms almost possessively around his pretend lover's waist. "This one's mine."
"I don't believe it!" shrieked a girl with emerald eyes and bubble gum pink hair.
"Yeah! Sasuke-kun can't be gay. Show us evidence if you're really dating!" Another girl with long blonde hair shouted.
At this point, Naruto was at a loss as to what to do. He turned to Sasuke as to ask for help.
With big round eyes almost on the verge of tears from helplessness and really pink kissable lips pouting in frustration, the young Uchiha didn't register what he did until he heard gasps.
"Oh my God… did you see that? Sasuke-kun kissed him!"
Murmurs soon turned to squeals as Sasuke pulled back abruptly with the blond still in his arms. Naruto looked as stunned as he did.
"Did you just…"
"Not now."
Grabbing Naruto by the hand, Sasuke walked away but not before shooting the girls a look that clearly stated leave us alone.
As they left the rumours started spreading like wildfire – Uchiha Sasuke had come out of the closet with a very handsome and adorable looking blond boyfriend.
