Fandom: Naruto
Characters/Pairings: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura (Naruto/Sasuke)
Warnings: none
Summary: Sasuke doesn't believe in Santa or the Christmas spirit - maybe meeting the big man himself will cause a change of heart
Sasuke watched from a distance as another small child was placed in Santa's lap. Konoha's open marketplace was busy with last minute Christmas shoppers. Sasuke had been watching Jolly Old Saint Nick for the past two hours, secretly enjoying the way the other man acted with the children. If a screaming, crying child was placed into Santa's lap he would be laughing and smiling a moment later. Santa's happy attitude was infectious.
"Don't you want to talk to Santa?" Sasuke turned to see Sakura standing behind him, wearing a coy smile. She was dressed as an elf, and even Sasuke had to admit she didn't look too bad either.
"I don't believe in Santa Claus," replied the Uchiha bluntly. The other ninja just rolled her eyes.
"C'mon Mr. Grinch," said the woman. "I'm sure that if you ask nicely you'll get what you want."
Sasuke just stuck his hands in his pockets and started to walk away.
"Like I said," he called over his shoulder. "I don't believe in that stuff. It's for kids."

When Sasuke returned home it was late, and the streets were slick from ice which just made him ill-tempered. It wasn't that he had slipped (that just wasn't Uchiha or ninja-like) but it was a pain all the same.
As he struggled to get his keys out of his pockets without dropping all of the presents he'd bought earlier, a strange, faint sound reached his ears.
…Singing?
He carefully placed the parcels on the doorstep before stepping back, trying to determine where the noise was coming from.
…The roof? And was that smoke, too?
Sasuke growled. If it was some prank left for him by Konohamaru and his bratty friends, Konoha would wake-up tomorrow with one less Sarutobi. He jumped to the roof, and slowly started to approach the smoke; it was coming from the other side.
"Just like a cat, eh, Sasuke?"
"Dobe!" He scrambled up the slope and slid down the other side. There sat his boyfriend, still dressed in that stupid Santa costume.
"Still don't believe?" asked the blond, exhaling more smoke from his cigarette.
"What were you singing?" said Sasuke instead. He snuggled up to the other man, and Naruto put an arm around his shoulders.
"Christmas carols, what else?" Sasuke rolled his eyes. "So, Sasu, did you get what you wanted from Santa?"
"Yeah," He gave the other man a kiss on the cheek. "I got exactly what I wanted."
"And have you been a good boy?"
"Oh no, Santa! I've been such a bad boy."
"Really now?" Naruto put out his cigarette and pulled Sasuke to his feet. "Let's see how bad you can be."
