Love and Lust

You sighed as you walked down the street.

"Hey, ___!" Konohamaru exclaimed. He jogged over to you with a smile. "Any plans for today?"

"Just working," you said with a shrug. "It's a very uneventful Wednesday, so I'll probably just relax at home after."

"Or," he started. "We could get dinner together? If.. you want?"

You paused, tapping your chin. "Is it a date?" You said.

Konohamaru started stuttering. "I mean- it could be if... if you want it to.." He trailed off.

"I'm not really... looking to date," you said. "We can hang out as friends, but not really as anything more. There's someone else I'm interested in, if I may be honest."

"Oh," Konohamaru said, disappointment laced in his tone. "Is it Lord Hokage?"

You looked at him incredulously. "Lord Hokage? Why would you-"

"He seems to like you. He's your boss... you're a foreign girl from another country with a nice body... maybe he-"

"Absolutely not," you said, shaking your head. "I'll see you around."

You turned away from him and walked to work.

You walked into the office with a grin. "Good morning, Lord Naruto!"

Naruto was sitting at his desk, looking at the door, as if he was waiting for you.

"___, hey," he said with a small smile. "I sent Shikamaru on a mission so.. we have the office to ourselves."

You smiled and walked over to his desk, you glanced at a new picture frame on his desk, but he stood and pulled you close just before you could see the photo.

"Ah-!" You yelped.

Naruto sat you on his desk and got between your legs, his hands on your hips.

"You put up a new picture?" You said, reaching for the photo.

"Ah, sorta; it's an old photo I put back up, since there isn't paperwork flooding my desk. It's of me and my old team," he said with a smile.

"I do believe I've seen this before," you said. You grabbed the photo and looked at him, your eyes slowly going over the faces. To your surprise, that unknown boy seemed.. familiar.

"This is that nameless teammate, right?" You said.

"Sasuke," Naruto said. "His name is Sasuke. We have a... troubled past, but he is still one of my best friends."

You stared at the photo. "Sasuke.. your old teammate was Sasuke?"

"Yeah," he said. "He uh-" Naruto paused as if he was going to say something and didn't. Naruto wanted to spill everything to satisfy his selfish need to have you all to yourself, but he couldn't. His mind wandered to the look in Sasuke's eyes when they briefly spoke of you, the smile on your face after every meeting; Naruto couldn't be the one to crush your happiness.

"He isn't around much, so I hope you get to meet him one day," Naruto finally said.

"I know him," you said honestly. "I've met him. I didn't know he was on your team." You smiled. "The stories he told... you were quite the genin, Lord Naruto."

"Yeah," he said. "Us and Sakura were a pretty hilarious trio." Naruto sighed and plopped down in his chair, leaning back with his legs spread. "Now... take your top off."
