Could you please do more Narusaku boxing au ? ⊙﹏⊙ i love them !!
The first time Naruto saw her two words came into mind:fragile and dainty. It was when she started training that his first impressionof her changed for his punches paled in comparison to her jabs and hooks whichalmost sent the heavy bag, she had been using, almost flying from where ithang.
He couldn’t help it. He was in the middle of training but hestopped and watched her in rapt fascination, wondering what she did to get thatunbelievable strength he hadn’t seen before.
“Wow! You’re cool!” He hadn’t realized he had said it alouduntil she turned and looked at him.
“Are you talking about me?”
“Eerrr…yes” He knew denial was futile when it was veryobvious he was the only one nearest her who could have said that.
“Thank you,” she delivered another powerful punch to theheavy bag, uncaring that he was still watching. This continued for a fewseconds before she stopped, her breaths coming out in pants.
She turned to him. “Want to spar sometime?”
His eyes widened. Bewildered, he looked around and pointedto himself. “Are you talking to me?”
“Well, you’re the only person nearest me Naruto,”
“W..wait! you know me?”
She almost laughed. “Kind of hard to miss the noisiestperson in the gym right? Besides, your punches are not bad. I really thinkyou’re one of the best here,”
The sincerity in her voice made him grin. “But you know, Imight have to spar with you with my eyes closed.”
“And why is that?”
“I might be dazzled by your beauty and get distracted,”
“The only thing that will dazzle you are the stars that willappear once my fist hits you.”
They stared, unmoving, until after a few seconds when theirlaughter both filled the air. Both sensed it. That playful banter they hadexchanged lightened the mood between them and somehow, they clicked-just likethat.
“You know, this is the first time we ever talked but I kindof feel like I’ve known you for a long time,”
Sakura didn’t confirm or deny that she felt the same but thelook in her eyes says it all. She, just like him, was shaken by the verystriking connection between them which was almost akin to the feeling offinding a missing puzzle piece that has been lost for a long time.
“So, Naruto, about that sparring session. How about two daysfrom now? Same time?”
“Yeah I’m free. Let’s do it!”
“Don’t forget it okay! I’ll be expecting you,” She said beforeresuming her training with the heavy bag.
He was disappointed that the conversation had ended so soon but the thought that he would get a chance to talk to her again lightened his mood.
He stared at her one last time before going back to his own training. She was wearing only her gymclothes, her hair was a bit disheveled with some strands falling to the side ofher ears, and beads of sweat were rolling down her cheeks.
But to Naruto she had never looked more beautiful.
