Minato Namikaze - Short Story AU: Chapter 7
Somehow you’d been tricked, because you still don’t recall agreeing to this.
“Now Senju-san and I are a couple.”
Minato’s bold statement made every teacher in the lounge freeze and you just looked away shyly.
“I-It’s true.”
You mutter.
He just continued to smile, taking your hand.
“I’m looking forward to making her my wife.”
“W-WIFE!! WE’VE BEEN DATING FOR LIKE A WEEK!!”
“So you don’t want to be my wife?”
He was giving you that look again.
“GYAH!! STOP IT WITH THE PUPPY DOG EYES!! FINE I’LL MARRY YOU!!”
He was once agin beaming.
“Arigatou, Senju-san.”
Everyone in the room sweatdropped.
“He has her wrapped around his finger.”
It was clear there was little you could do but go along with his antics, especially when he smiled at you.
“Those damn blue eyes.”
You’re certainly a sucker for handsome men.
You have no choice but to go about your day as normal. Trying to get the best of Minato is not possible.
The knock on your door diverts your attention and you look up.
“Come in.”
The door opens, and in walks the object of all your affections. Your cheeks flush despite yourself.
“Gomen, my class was a little rowdy today. Naruto is quite energetic.”
You understand because you teach him as well.
Minato is holding a bento and you tilt your head when you realize something.
“Ano, Namikaze-san, is there a chance you and Naruto are related?”
He nods.
“Hai, he’s my nephew. My brother’s first child.”
You can’t believe you’d never noticed before.
“It must be fun teaching your family.”
Minato nods, taking a seat at the desk with you.
“It is. He’s a bit of a trouble maker. I suppose I have you to thank for helping tame him.”
You lift your chin with a grin.
“What can I say, I’m just that good with kids.”
Minato placed his chin in his palm with a smile.
“When we have kids I know you’ll be great with them.”
“Of course!”
You’re so busy boasting that you don’t fully hear the statement. However, the second it plays over in your mind, your face is red.
“W-What do you mean our kids!!”
“I really would like to have kids, wouldn’t you Senju-san?”
Your eyebrows twitch at the puppy dog expression on his face.
“This man is dangerous..”
You need to be on your guard.
After lunch, you’re off to your class. Your relationship with Minato seems to be the talk of the school, because your students ambush you the second you're inside.
“Sensei! Is it true that you and Namikaze-sensei are dating?”
Sakura is standing at your desk with a smile and you flush.
“A-Ah, hai.”
It’s not like you can really deny it.
She swoons, and when her eyes move in the direction of Sasuke, you can see the way he stiffens in his seat. You just laugh. Hinata’s eyes have also drifted to Naruto. When he catches her gaze, he just smiles with a thumbs up. Hinata looks down hurriedly.
You can’t help but smile.
“I guess love is in the air.”
It’s funny to think about.
As the day goes on you feel strangely relaxed. Maybe you’re just grateful for the quiet. After that situation with those students, you’re more than happy to relax. You’re not surprised when you leave for the day and Minato is waiting for you outside the school. The moment he sees you he smiles, holding out his hand.
Minato has always been a nice person, so you’re not really surprised at the gesture. Yet somehow, the fact that you’re both actually a couple is still a bit hard to believe. Minato and you are like opposite sides of a coin.
Taking his hand, you try to hide your blush as you both walk down the street.
“I should have asked this before, but you have really weird taste in women, don’t you Namikaze-san?”
He stares at you innocently.
“I just like assertive women.”
You look away.
“Like I said, weird. Aren’t you afraid I’ll toss you around?”
It’s a common fear among the men that you’ve tried to pursue.
“I’m counting on it.”
His statement makes you gape and when you look at him, he smirks.
“I don’t mind if you get rough with me, Se-ju-san~”
Heat crawls up your neck.
“P-Pervert!!”
He just laughs.
“Only for you.”
He leans in placing a kiss on your cheek and you realize that you’ve fallen right into his trap.
