Asuma has been gone for 2 years now. Day by day, Kurenai thinks about him and doesn't stop loving him even if it is a long distance relationship. Kurenai is in her room, lying in her bed and staring at Asuma's picture.

Kurenai pov: I miss you, Asuma.

Kurenai's dad enters the room.

Kurenai's dad: Kurenai, I have some news for you.

Kurenai: What is it, dad?

Kurenai's dad: Pft. You're still crying because of that Sarutobi boy.

Kurenai: We love each other dad. We're in a relationship.

Kurenai's dad: Well, I demand you to break up with him now.

Kurenai: WHAT?

Kurenai's dad: You're getting married.

Kurenai: B-but to who?

Kurenai's dad: Come in boy.

Kurenai: W-who are you??

Kurenai's dad: Meet Imari Senju. Think about it. He's a senju. You'll create a strong heir together!

Kurenai: No! If I am having an heir then it would be with Asuma! Not with some guy I just met!

Imari: Oh come on babe. I got a pretty great body just like yours~

Kurenai: I don't care about stupid appearances! What I care about is how a man would love me for who I am! And that man will be Asuma only!

Kurenai's dad: How would you know if he still even loves you?! He's gone for 2 years now! He may be seeing another girl behind your back!

Kurenai: Don't you dare talk about Asuma like that. You don't know him at all! I HATE YOU DAD!

Kurenai storms off outside the house and goes to the lake her and Asuma would usually meet up.

Kurenai: Oh Asuma, I need you so badly right now.

Iruka happens to walk by the lake and hears someone crying.

Iruka pov: Huh? Who could that be?

Iruka came closer by the lake to see Kurenai weeping.

Iruka: K-kurenai?

Kurenai hears him and quickly wipes off her tears.

Kurenai: O-oh hi there Iruka.

Iruka: You can talk to me you know?

Kurenai: W-whatever do you mean?

Iruka: You knew exactly what I mean.

Kurenai breathes and finally gives up.

Kurenai: Fine. Sit down.

-After explaining-

Iruka: That's awful. I'm sorry for asking.

Kurenai: It's alright.

Iruka: Well, if you're not ready to go back home,  you could stay at my place. Friendly gesture.

Kurenai: Well what about your parents?

Iruka: My parents died during the Second Shinobi War. So I live alone.

Kurenai: Oh I'm sorry, but do you really don't mind?

Iruka: Mhm. I think Asuma would've asked me to as well.

Kurenai: Fine. But its just beacause I have nowhere else to go to. Thanks.

Iruka: You're always welcome. And besides, I wanna run away and hide from Anko. 😬

Kurenai: Haha. Yeah okay.

A/N: Im bacc, missed me?✨💜
