Where the hell are you going? Jiraiya raises a brow as he happens to catch you leaving Konoha. You're not trained for fighting. No... you're just a healer. A talented one at that. You had a unique ability. Your connection with water was incredibly strong. It obeyed you like nothing anyone has ever seen. You used it to pull together wounds and clean blood. You manipulated the blood itself to mend the bones within the muscles and numbed the pain for your patients by freezing their breaks. It's a special power that has great potential. Hm... maybe more potential than anyone knows.

Jiraiya does what he do best. Stalking women!... er... surveillance. Just surveillance. All in the name of concern for a friend. He quite liked you. Your gentle smile and sweet words get his heart pounding. As a teenager, he really fell for you. He's never told you how he felt. He's harboured these feelings and kept them hidden for close to ten years. There's a part of him that's terrified he'll ruin a perfectly amazing friendship if he tells you. But... he just wants you.

You're so easy to talk to. You have the greatest smile. It suited your pretty face, but it was rarely seen. You would always heal his injuries. He loved the feeling of it. Every time you visited to watch his team train, he got distracted. Your presence effected his focus. No one has ever done that to him before. He worked harder to impress you, because you were watching! He had to impress you. When Tsunade would get a good strike on him, you would protest. You always ran into the field to assist.

"Tsunade! You don't gotta deck him so hard! It's just sparring." You scold your elder cousin.

The first time, Jiraiya flinched slightly. You got so close! He didn't know what to do so he froze up. Even at the age of seven, you had your powers mostly figured out. You waved your hands and the water in the nearby lake obeyed you. The water was cold on his cheek. It quickly got warm and felt like a soft kiss to his cheek. And embarrassingly, he got hooked on the feeling. Your attention was so precious. Jiraiya would purposely get hurt just to see you. What other excuse could he come up with? He just had to see you. Last time he did it, you laughed. It's such a rare sound. Your laugh is like music. He just loved hearing it and loved it more when he was the one who made you laugh. You wrapped a bandaid around his cut finger and teased him by putting a kiss on the injury like he was a little kid. The whole day after he stared at it in wonder and cherished how it made him feel. He felt like a little kid. Weak and unsure of himself. Only when it came to you. He just got so nervous. He could barely piece together a natural sounding sentence when he talked to you. His cheeks heated up and his brain turned off whenever he faced you alone. He stammered most times all while lost in your ever endless kind smile and patient eyes.

Like where did his balls go? He's known you for years! It's not like you're a stranger! He knows what you like. He just can't work up the nerve to ask you out. There was also Tsunade. Who knows how she'll react to you dating her teammate. She was close to you like a sister. She was protective of you and didn't trust Jiraiya, or any boy, around you. You were genuinely innocent sometimes and didn't pick up on someone hitting on you. Or men being creepy to you. You had to rely on your big cousin and her friends to protect you. Jiraiya himself had physically removed a man that was getting very creepy talking to you. You were too polite to tell the weirdo to fuck off. But you casted a pleading look to your friend, who happily stepped in. Ain't nobody gonna talk to you like that. No one talks to his girl like that!

He followed you into the forest, keeping his distance. Curious. You don't often leave the village. You had no reason to. It's just out of character. Are you in trouble? It's not like you get in trouble. You stay out of it as much as possible. You don't even get deployed for missions. Or just gathering herbs? But the Nara had that garden that supplies the hospital, what could you need out here? Jiraiya stalks the underbrush. Hiding in the leaves. Staying quiet as he watches you.
