Here is a small story that I wanted to do in honor of Sasuke’s birthday 🥳

Naruto woke up very excited to start the day, not only was Sasuke returning from a long term mission but it was Sasuke’s birthday and he had to make the house perfect for him to return to. He knew Sasuke would most likely be exhausted so he didn’t want to do anything too extravagant nor did Sasuke really like things to be flamboyant especially when it came to his birthday. He wanted to try and make it special since this day brought a little bit of heartache to Sasuke. It made him miss his mom and brother a little bit more. He once told Naruto that Itachi and his mom would wake up and bake him cake. It would be horribly decorated but they would enter his room singing happy birthday waiting for him to wake up and make a wish. He said he wasn’t the biggest fan of sweets but there was something so special to eat cake for breakfast with Itachi and his mother. Naruto wanted to recreate that feeling for him, he bought decorations, the ingredients to make the cake, and he had presents he’d been collecting since Sasuke left. Naruto was more than prepared to pull off a small birthday with just them two. He thought about inviting people but he didn’t want Sasuke to be uncomfortable. He knew Kakashi Sensei and Sakura probably wouldn’t have minded but he knew how much more it would mean to Sasuke if it was more intimate.

He started the morning with trying to make the cake. He opted for a lemon cake because of the lightness in sweetness. He’s never been the cook, it’s always been Sasuke but he was determined for this to be perfect. He messed up the first one, for some reason it wouldn’t fluff up in the oven. The second one was burned because he forgot to the set the alarm. Time was starting to go by and he was scared Sasuke would be home before he could get the house decorated so he took a break from cooking and started on the house. He hung the happy birthday banner in front of the door so when Sasuke walked in, it’s the first thing he sees. He started cleaning up around the house because when he was alone he tended to slack off on keeping things straightened up. He then moved a small table by the entrance to lay the birthday gifts on. He didn’t wrap anything, he shoved all the gifts in different birthday bags. He would run out of time if he had chosen to wrap them. As he stared at where to put the balloons and steamers he heard the door handle move. He turned around and saw Sasuke enter the door. His eyes went wide and he rushed over.

“You can’t come in yet, wait like 5 seconds” he exclaimed holding the door slightly open.

“I guess I can wait here for a moment” Sasuke stated with a confused look on his face.

Naruto closed the door and rushed back to hang the balloons and streamers. He then looked over at the dirty kitchen. He never got to finish the cake. His heart sank knowing that was the most important part of today. How could he get so caught up in everything else that he forgot to come back to the cake. He looked back at the living room and things looked as good as they were going to so he went back to the front door. He opened it and Sasuke chuckled when seeing him. Naruto didn’t have time to clean himself up either. He was wearing his cooking apron and he had flour on his face and clothes. Naruto was surprised at the reaction since he was obviously disappointed about something.

“I know something’s wrong but you honestly look ridiculous with this on your face” he said while brushing the flour from Naruto’s cheeks. Before Sasuke could even acknowledge the decorations, he was removing his shoes and placing his ninja tools in the hall closet.

“So what’s got you all pouty faced?”

“I just wanted things to be perfect and I forgot one of the most important things” Sasuke followed Narutos gaze and he couldn’t help but grab Narutos hand and rush over to the living room. His cheeks turning red as he stared at the gifts and balloons. He looked over at Naruto who still seemed stressed, grabbing his chin to point his face towards Sasuke’s.

“Thank you!” He stated as he leaned in to give Naruto a kiss.

“You’re welcome but I don’t even have a cake, how are you going to make a wish?”

“What do I need a wish for when I already have you?”

Naruto’s cheeks were burning and he couldn’t help but smile at Sasuke. Even though he wanted to make the cake, he thought store bought would be okay because he still wanted Sasuke to blow out some candles, that’s one of the best parts. While Sasuke stayed home relaxing and taking a shower to take the stench of his mission off his body, Naruto ran to the store up the street where he bought a small lemon cake, still hoping the sweetness level was a small amount. When he returned home, he found Sasuke snooping through his presents.

“Hey we have to blow out your candles first”

Sasuke stunned by being caught, made his way to the kitchen and found some candles on the counter. Naruto placed them in the small cake, lighting them and then turning the lights off. As Naruto sang happy birthday, Sasuke was glad the only light was from the lit candles, because he felt his eyes getting watery. He hasn’t felt this loved and cared for by anyone since his brother. He was happy Naruto was his partner and best friend. When he blew out the candles it was pitch black and he felt a familiar pair of lips on his.

“Happy Birthday Sasuke Uchiha”

Doodled some characters for this year's Yeehawgust <3

no names yet. the coloration of the carnotaurus is a blue roan appaloosa. a bit out there, but i like to think if humans had had the chance to domesticate dinosaurs, we'd breed them as selectively as everything else, getting some very neat colorations!

Yeehawgust 2024: Greener Pastures

Saddle up, folks! We’ve got greener pastures on the horizon, because it’s time for Yeehawgust’s 6th year this August!

Yeehawgust features daily art prompts as well as alternative weekly prompts, for those of us who are a bit slower on the draw. Don’t draw at all? No problem! Submit any art at all, be it illustration, comics, writing, fanfiction, photography, embroidery, sculpture, music, or whatever other creative endeavors you might enjoy. All skill levels are welcome, and this can be a great opportunity to experiment with new styles and techniques. 

Maybe you love media like Red Dead Redemption and Fallout: New Vegas, or classic westerns like The Magnificent Seven. You might enjoy the genre, and you’re looking for a chance to make a cowboy AU and put your OCs in chaps and your blorbos in a Stetson. Heck, maybe you just really want to draw horses. Whatever your reason, you’re welcome to join in, pardner!

Tag your work with #Yeehawgust and follow along here on the Yeehawgust blog. If you include any external links or directly tag another Tumblr user in your post (which may impact search visibility), make sure to also tag this blog or contact the mod directly so your work will get reblogged! 

Check out the “Reblogging Policy and Q&A” linked on the blog for more info about Yeehawgust. The event is also Yeehawgust on Twitter, YeehawgustPrompts over on Instagram, and now yeehawgust.bsky.social over on Bluesky... but Tumblr is where we hang our hat at the end of the day. 

And remember, y’all: be rootin’, tootin’, shootin’, and most importantly, be kind.
