"Just kiss me" her whispered request was filled with pained longing, desperation permeating her movements as she pulled his face closer to hers, lips pressing against his as her hands quickly found their way under his shirt. "I just need to feel you're really here with me"

Finding themselves in their own little world, tucked into the shadows of familiar places, there was no denying the fiery excitement that burns it’s furious song within his veins. Just hearing that with her voice wound in such a fashion, how impatience blended together with their daily routine only for the privacy of one of their many rooms to be applied for the perfect use. Naruto’s eyes held a half-lidded flare as he peered into those emeralds that burned with a difference purpose. An undeniably, mind-melting need that found him just as voraciously as he intends to put that to perfect use.

By building up even these moments with the kind of teasing he’s infamous for.

That said kiss wouldn’t be drawn just yet to those beautiful tiers. Instead she’d find his hot lips immediately attacking her neck, slow, hungry kisses working their steamy trail up that pristine column pulsing vibrantly. The flavor in itself was divine, leaving him to enjoy it as much as her fingers were, while they felt like they couldn’t decide whether to hang with the relaxing touches or to outright rip his shirt apart entirely, a small price for peppering these temptations upon her. He’d  feed upon the pride it gives him while basking in each firm graze of his lips upon skin, just a tinge of that fang carefully scrapping against her jawline. “Sakura..”

Was she aware how much of a double edged sword this made? For every brand of this secret melody he elicits, having her squirm with that same loving hunger, it only made the coals of his own fire immolate with a mindless need. Those broad hands found themselves adventurous, working along her full curves, skimming across those clothed hips to her full thighs, allowing the natural high heat of his to soak against her skin through such a flimsy barrier. Greedy squeezes of his palm would playfully test those limits, burning away the tension while allowing a much more potent force immediately take it’s place.

For a moment they remain a hair’s breadth away, blonde and blossom pink remaining meshed as their bangs meet, giving him the perfect view of just how drawn into the moment she was. A potent, energetic beat of his heart storms through his being as that hunger gnawing deep within his belly held one clear, concise demand as those powerful arms kept her locked in place.

“I’ma be as greedy as I want.”

Scratch that, both of them were going to beat.

Their lips meeting was pouring pure fuel in the foolish hope of quenching this hunger that ached in their veins. He knows it, he for damn sure Sakura knows it, leading to Naruto happily basking in this addictive flavor better known as her. It draws an electrical, searing pleasure through his veins, causing that low growl to edge against her lips while keeping her selfishly close. As one of those hands sweep up in order to graze through her sweet smelling tresses, the other cupped underneath her vibe, giving it a prime squeeze as the kiss they share immediately deepens, that growing fire poorly hiding itself to the miraculous medic seated upon his lap. There would be firm, shamelessly hard proof that grazes between her legs, being one of the many reasons those hissed utterances would be all for her to drink in.

"NARUTO!! Are you okay?" Sakura ran, eyes glimmering from the tears filling them, and threw herself into his arms, "I was so afraid... I thought I had lost you, dammit!"

Each step upon these beaten, shattered grounds signified many things, matters that feel so pointless in the grand scheme as he focused each aching exhale and draw of the lungs to keep going forward. Their latest battle was one, and in turn, it meant a new day he could proudly return to the many, many people who fought tooth and nail to keep by his side, just as he’d do for them. ‘Damn it.. If only my eyes could get themselves in the damn game already, the fight’s done.. Just need to.. going...’ With that said, that awareness could’ve leave him prepared for the voice that broke through the haze with crystalline clarity.

“Saku...” Her name, refreshing to even say, found itself clipped as the weariness had him picturing that she’s practically teleporting from one location to the next. Awareness manages to bloom was the familiar scent of that shampoo hit his senses, once the security of those arms that belied such a destructive might suddenly draw him in, the second her could feel the warm spill of her emotions made through action.. Life found itself doubling down with renewed breath. Those cerulean eyes of the the blonde widened as he doesn’t bother in even trying to find explanations for this second wind.

Naruto knows the cause of it, and in turn, he’s never been more proud in sweeping himself into the moment of bringing Sakura into a full on embrace. Allowing for those scarred arms to hold her tight as the sheer worry within his voice compels his heart, making him fight harder through that haze in order to bring her comfort, to find the undeniably joy of just holding her close.

Life sure had one hell of a way of telling him it’d be all okay.

“Sakura-chan..”

"Never better, dattebayo!” And it was true! That is, if he were to ignore his body screaming in sheer agony to even be moving at this point. Even then, the strength boiling within his veins found itself shimmering for a different purpose, to strongly reassure her that the candle of his life was stubbornly burning greater then ever before. Despite the tizzy like flourish ignited within his chest, being able to keep her so protectively and selfishly close, that flowing sense of peace did ebb yet call to his weariness while those calloused, faintly bloody fingers gently brushed along her pink hair while they took the moment to simple be. Just hearing how a potential nightmare battled to becoming reality for her made his spirit crunch with a lingering sense of guilt.

With the both of them being ninja, knowing their risk, even then that endless hope they carried for things to get better was a risk all the same. To know he potentially diminished one of those many lights made a soft grunt ease from him. Even as the warmth of her tears coated the many rips upon his dark shirt, he eases up, resolve burning within his tone as the certain prompts him to act. Situation be damned, moments be damned, there was a firm push made in order to let his lips tenderly press upon her forehead in a sprung moment of courage.

It was similar to the very courage to believe in him down to the crucial moments.

“Thank you.. Sakura, for always keeping the hope strong in me. I never had a single plan in breaking that trust, not even for a second.”

she plucks a singular red rose from the bushel in her hands, a coy smile spreading across her cheeks as she tucks it behind naruto's ear. " a flower for my idiot. "

Within the passing days this homely little flower shop managed to draw a synonymous definition with home itself. No matter how great the adventure, mysterious the wonder, a great part of this burning soul found a great need to return through these doors in order to contently use his time with the beautiful, smiling face that always awaited him here. Within the current moment, it’s no different as their chatter could easily be heard through the glass doors. A sense of humble peace hangs around their presence like a beloved curtain as their laughter melted away sorrow and struggle alike.

In a way, it becomes therapeutic. Naruto’s eyes held a rare form solely reserved for the one tucked within this shop by his side.

“Nuh uh! Inoooo, cause if that was the case..!” How managed to use her verbal wit to be so stinging never failed to impress him. A mixture between a repressed laugh and a snort reveals just how bad she has him on the ropes, all while they worked in ensuring that each particular flower was cared for via food or a proper trim. Despite their fun, this was work he earnestly put his heart into, ensuring that each arrangement found itself shining with the beauty of it’s hidden potential, how it could shine by simply being, a matter that’s no different than the blonde by his side.

In a way, he’s coming to understand that shared sentiment, especially with the way she made her language through vocals and action. Before he realizes it, one of the thornless, crimson roses found themselves tucked against his sunny features, leading to him staring at him with a smidgen of wonder as the red color could easily mean so many things as he come to learn. To see the way adoration shimmers within her eyes easily had his heart pumping just a bit louder, beating more adamantly, a song of joy for the very woman who reached to be so tender with him.

Damn it. Why did it feel like he’d come to potentially melt on the spot? Hearing the way she worked that special, harmless meaning name into what was becoming his favorite voice, the smile he offers him reveals how she melts his heart.

”I.. Really don’t know what I’d do without you, sweetheart. If I remember right, ‘ttebayo, doesn’t this flower angle itself around love?” There it was, proof that despite how ‘stubborn’ he’s been, an honest effort was made into understanding those lessons. A rosy, equally crimson hue managed to reveal itself upon Naruto’s complexion as he reaches forth, sweeping a broad hand along a strong arm of Ino’s, gradually working up to her shoulder, giving it a tender squeeze as a magnetic pull gradually made him ease in.

“Just like how I feel for you?”

Initially a soft peck upon those fair lips would be their start. For them to embrace a tender bolt of voltage made from the soul before that lovesick expression grows much more prominent. Without an inkling of hesitation, the follow up is a sure and certain strike, a soft hum easing from his lips while eradicates the meaning of distance, allowing for their lips to fully meet in a loving and firm kiss, one that’s hidden away by hanging plants and the reflective shine of the sun upon the glass windows, offering them a peek of privacy in plain sight.

Time he made her melt just a little bit too.

popping in to say i adore your writing and reading your posts <3 i think your writing is really fluid and i enjoy your word choices as well as your portrayal of naruto :)

HEY THERE--

Dats embarrassing. Alongside of embarrassing I consider this such a sweet honor that you think so Amy! Naruto has always been a muse I held a soft spot for over the years. (The fact I played him in middle school brings such a nostalgic feeling to me.)

I’d like to thank you for these sweet words. If it you can get the vibe that you’re actually sharing an experience with Naruto from the series himself, then I can consider that legit one of the biggest honors. I always want to share the vibe that people are just plain talking to Naruto in my post. lol.

Always feel welcome to throw all the muses you have at him!  There’s a 100 and 2 adventures we’ll doubtlessly go and cook up together throughout our interactions.

❝ When were you going to tell me you were back?! ❞ She inquired, though she knew he didn't owe it to her to tell her such things. Even still, part of her was elated to know he was back in the village, to know that he was still alive.

Being caught with a mouth full of food happened to be an infamous deal pertaining to Konoha’s most unpredictable ninja. Then again, humans were always creatures of some brand of habit, his being the infamous love for a meal over the years that only grew more dear to his heart. Sakura managing to catch peeks of orange and black from underneath the entry folds of Ichiraku’s establishment easily pieces the dots together, he did make his return after another long mission. Naturally his stomach fell to the easiest of produced siren songs; a good meal.

Ensuring the bundle of noodle, fine broth and chashu pork, the chopsticks are immediately braced upon the top of his bowl, allowing him to immediately pivot and hop from his seat. Hands immediately raised in a form of mock surrender, he’s quick to explain!

“Ahh, ahh! I was definitely gonna, Sakura-chan! In fact that’s always one of my first priorities when coming on back to ol’ Konoha!” He exclaims, that natural twinge of guilt nagging at him in the back of his mind, if only to serve as a gentle reminder to never forget the many people who come to love his company now days. The rose haired member of his beloved team being no exception. It never failed drawing a small pond of jubilant feelings in the soul to see her feelings briskly open about him. “But y’know, I figured looking like somethin’, Kakashi-sensei’s dog chewed  would get’cha more worried than anything else. So I figured I had to get my strength up!” In a silly display, he gives a small flex of the arms as if this ramen magically healed all it’s ailments.

Naruto would proudly get into a debate that Ichiraku’s ramen does infact heal mortal wounds. It’s one of the key reasons he wants to learn seal based jutsu!

”And I couldn’t think of a better place. Buuuut, hey! Since you are here n’ all? How about we get’cha some energy in you too? All on me?” !! Oh, damn it, he should be more considerate! “But if you’re on the road for somethin’ I can definitely hurry this up so we can we head out together!” A day with the two of them hitting the grand streets of this village, it didn’t sound too bad in his book, a touch of homesickness was gnawing at him anyways.

"The best way to survive is all alone." From Kazuki Uchiha !

Time immersed in the lands bordering golden sands to the remnants of flora within Kaze no Kuni’s realm always served to be a humbling experience. Anyone along the inexperienced curve would forget their due diligence against nature itself, a harsh contender in beating the drums of refinement upon life itself, to it’s great fortune or to it’s hollow end. Naruto’s mettle fought those odds consistently, always holding one more trick, swift wits or the raw strength needed to make this expedition almost seem comfortable in essence. Those eyes shined with a focused light as it soon led to what could be easily considered a mysterious encounter.

Amidst the sounds of a constant, howling wind that convinced him to be a natural quirk of the land, a mysterious figure that melds with the shadows soon came to find his location! Their expression would be impossible to discern, as the hollow glow of scarlet laced within the sockets of that mask, almost seeming familiar to the blonde, not enough for him to make an upstart assumption. As tension initially grits at the moment of these two travelers coming across each other, curiosity also flows free. “Just.. Who are--” The words found themselves eclipsed as their posture hinted as if they held something to say.

What is drawn as their blade of potential truth is a saddening one to Uzumaki Naruto. He doesn’t bother to hide faintly scrunched expression it conjures. Where shinobi should become the impersonal visage out of professionalism, for all the life of him, it was just too hard to disassociate those very emotions that granted him such strength. Fingers softly clenched while he holds his position upon the thick branch of a tree, the only response mustered with a negative shake of the head.

“No, damn it. That there is somethin’ I just can’t go and agree with!”

“Even if the world wants to give every reason that is the case, then it can shove it.” Despite just meeting this person, it hadn’t hindered his passion, only making him remember how such a sentiment led so many to being burned and dragged to edges of an abyss that aimed to fray the mind to pieces. His own being no exception. “In my book, ‘ttebayo. Life is meant to be enjoyed, one way or another, with people. Whether they’re by your side or a good damn fire burning within. Loneliness.. That.” A low hum eases from him. “I wouldn’t wish that kind of hell even on my worst enemies.”

❝ i have a serious dilemma on my mind right now, and you’re distracting me. ❞

Isn’t that supposed to be a merit of initiating a moment of time with Uzumaki Naruto in the equation? Too many of their instances could be defined with the welcomed bite in their back and forth banter, even elevating to a series of conversations that could come to consider fun. In a way, it opens the door for them to take a ton of these asinine circumstances in stride. That cocksure smile of the blonde doesn’t hesitate in shining through. “Hooh?” Leaning his head a touch closer to her’s, Naruto holds a certainty that she wouldn’t hesitate to shove it away somewhat.

“And why are we handlin’ that dilemma again on the same night we said we’d take a night out into the town? If anything, this serious dilemma is tryin’ to get in the way here!” He exclaims with a firm thrust of a finger into the night’s air, as if creating some almighty, undeniable point on who the true third wheel was upon such matters. He hadn’t been entirely ignorant to the hints of a smile or a snicker that was roused from Ino. That said, what if this scenario found itself leagues more serious then he first considers? After all, since the 4th great war, busy work was by any means in no short supply.

As someone who came to learn about her a bit better in the passing days, he doesn’t want to leave her in a position of just mulling it over her own.

”So! How about we go and kick it’s ass together then?” Earnest, yet mischievous determination burns within those cerulean eyes at the suggestion. If it’s in the name of helping  someone managed to steal a portion of his caring nature, then no matter the challenge, it’d find itself being taken in stride. With the new days he’s spent in becoming an earnest worker at the Flower Shop, the last thing needed was having his boss swept away in the world of headaches or potential woes. Nothing a good ol’! ...Metaphorical, metaphorical rasengan to that particular issue couldn’t come to handle.

“Y’know I got’cha back, so talk to me a lil bit. Or else I’m gonna keep this dilemma stuck in the pipe dream.”

❝ when night draws her tenebrous curtain across the sky, i come here. ❞

Tenebrous? Naruto wouldn’t even pretend to try knowing what that means. The word however, sounds selectively wise from the lips it was intoned from, leading to his head tilting curiously after being introduced to such a particular spot the redhead comes to... rest, if such a word could even be deigned from their situation. The honor of such a thought comes across him while that familiar smile dawns, prompting the knuckleheaded ninja to quickly advance, seamlessly using chakra control to swiftly bounce up the network of pipes in other to reach this particular perch.

Only then would he give a curious cant of his head to the sights before him. A low ‘oooh’ echoes from his lips, advancing such a wide, sudden smile at the illustrious view of the glimmering stars before them. Now he gets a better idea of while he calls it a curtain! “You’d never get a better this damn wicked from down in the village.. Sheesh, finding all of these cool places before I even do.” Naruto harmlessly jabs before coming to stand next to Gaara, embracing the sense of companionship they fostered, truly allowing himself to relax alongside of the being that many would be wrought with paranoia over.

Within this Uzumaki’s veins? It was a sense of pride instead, a certain happiness knowing they now had each other in rougher aspects of facing the world.

“Also shows that good taste with hang out spots in ya, ‘ttebayo. For some reason a lot of favorite places I have wind up indoors, heheh.” And no, he wasn’t going to admit that it primary had to do with food either, a guy has to go and keep that smooth kind of composure. It was the exact kind that he assumes Gaara knows how to carry without a hitch.

“!! Say! How about we bring up a good meal here the next time we come to hang together, Gaara? Not that I’m complaining about the current. S’just that, I think we could make some pretty solid memories enjoying stuff while hanging here too?” Truth be fold, the idea of making happier memories with them rang as such a great idea, a gift of memories they can treasure despite the stigma that wants to ground nothing but sordid emotions by the second.
