SheĀ has overstayed her welcome. He wants her out. She needs to go back to her mama, to her place, and come back maybe never? Fine, later. His mama wouldnāt be happy if he said that aloud. Hmph.Ā
Peeking into the living room, he clutches his stuffed fox as he watches as his mama let her sit on her lap. Sheās looking over some hairpins, meanwhile is ma is brushing out her short hair. His ma letās out a deep laugh and Naruto takes a few steps closer. Now heās watching over the armrest of the couch.Ā
Why is she gettinā so much attention from his parents? He doesnāt want to share them any longer! Thatās why yesterdayā¦he pushed her out of the way when he saw his mother bending down to give her a kiss. Well it looked that way!
He drifts back from his thoughts and realizes two pair of eyes are watching him. He ducks behind the couch and holds his fox closer and he pouts to himself.Ā
āReady to say sorry to Karin, love?ā He hears his mom ask. Naruto shakes his head. No he really isnāt, so he stays quiet and keeps huffing. Kushina looks at Karin and shakes her head.Ā
āGuess itās just Karin, dad, and me goinā out for ramen. The brat wants to stay home.ā She shrugs while setting the brush aside. She takes the hair clip Karin selected and smiles at her. Naruto decides to stomp out from the couch at the moment, face scrunched into a scowl. More like pout, his cheeks erase anything menacing about his expression.Ā
āI want ramen!ā He shouts, stomping his foot. He climbs onto the sofa and looks at Karin, who he catches is staring back. Maybe glarinā at him.Ā
āSorry,ā he says looking off to the side, but his motherās shakes her head clicking her tongue.Ā
āDo it right brat,ā she says pinching his little nose. Then she gestures for him to give it a second chance. Naruto wiggles out his nose before he crawls over to the side Karin is seated on. He looks at her with a frown, still not entirely into this. When she matches his scowl, he blinks.Ā
āDo I gotta give her a kiss, like I do to you and pa,ā he asks looking at his mother. He really doesnāt want toā¦but his mother shrugs and doesnāt help. Grrr.Ā
āYou decide.ā Naruto cheeks puff out again and he gets closer as heās leaning forward to plant one, heās suddenly thrown off balance by a harsh shove and a loudĀ āno!ā When he regains his bearings, he sees Karin is looking at him with her own scowl.Ā
Naruto lower lip trembles.Ā
Kushina closes her eyes and sighs.Ā
