History

Naruto groaned as he poured himself another portion of sake. It would be another late night in the office for him. He had finished his work hours ago but still couldn't bring himself to go home. He brought the small cup to his mouth, his eyes stuck on the family photos that sat on his desk. A loving wife, a rowdy son, and a beautiful little girl. He had everything a man would want, but it wasn't what he wanted.

  He did everything he was supposed to, on paper he was the perfect Hokage. But it still felt wrong.

  Naruto leaned his head back, letting the drink slide down his throat. What would the village think if their Hokage was...

  A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts. "Come in." The blonde tried to sound as sober as possible.

  Shikamaru opened the door and poked his head inside. "Hey, I'm gonna head home now." His dark eyes went from Naruto to the drinks on the Hokage's desk. "Are you sure everything is alright?"

  Naruto flashed a smile, "Just taking a little break. I'll be heading out soon myself too!"

  Shikamaru cocked an eyebrow, lucky for Naruto he was too lazy to push any more of Naruto's buttons. He gave a final wave before leaving the Hokage's office.

  Naruto let out a deep sigh, slumping into his office chair. He had achieved everything he's ever dreamed of and yet he felt so empty. After a moment the blonde pulled one of his bottom desk drawers open. Usually, it was locked, but alcohol makes him a bit careless. He dug around for a moment before pulling out an old photo album. Usually, it was covered in layers of dust but he couldn't help but look through it on nights like these.

It was a small photo album, made of brown leather. The Uchiha and Uzumaki Clan symbols were etched onto the front cover. Naruto slowly ran his fingers over the design before opening the book. Each page was filled with pictures of him and Sasuke, alone or with friends. A few pictures of them as Genin, then a lot more of them once Sasuke returned home after the Third Great Ninja War. Pictures of them kissing each other on the cheek or waking up next to each other, or even their secret dates. Naruto couldn't help but smile to himself as he turned the pages.

"I see sake makes you nostalgic, Naruto." a deep voice sounded from behind Naruto.

The Hokage chuckled nervously as he slowly shut the book. "You can't exactly blame me, we had good times." Naruto swiveled in his chair to face Sasuke. The years had treated the Uchiha well, he grew his hair out, tried to settle down, but Sasuke couldn't stay in one place for too long without a good reason to stay. The time he spent away from the village made him the best choice to go on a mission to gain intel on the aliens Otsutsuki Clan.

  Sasuke let out a 'hmpf', "I thought you got rid of that thing."

  "I couldn't bring myself to do it." Naruto frowned. Things hadn't been the same between the two of them since Naruto heard the news that he was a contender for the place of the Seventh Hokage. They had a big fight after that, and before Naruto knew it he was getting married to Hinata, a couple years after Sasuke and Sakura tied the knot as well. For the past twelve or thirteen years, all of their conversations had been strictly business, nothing more and nothing less. 

  "So what do ya got for me this time?" Naruto started as he put the album back into its hiding spot. "Must be important for you to come all the way home."

Sasuke glided across the room, leaning against a window in front of Naruto's desk. His onyx eyes looked him up and down, "Why won't you go home Naruto?"
