Minato Namikaze X Reader - Bright Eyes

Chapter 4

Because of the fact that you found it hard to move from the jutsu activation Minato had to carry you back to your house. Once you got inside he placed you down onto your bed and he went to walk away after mumbling a goodbye but you managed to grab his sleeve.

"Minato..." He didn't turn to look at you - he just stood facing the door. It was beginning to get dark, you didn't realise the time. "It must be around 7:00pm.." You thought but then got back on to the subject.

You slowly sat up and pulled the man back towards you so that he had no choice but to sit on the bed. "Look at me" you softly told him. He didn't respond.

"Minato." You said his name more sternly and he flinched slightly, "look.at.me." You saw his eyes move in the direction to where you were sitting. His blue irises reached the corners of his eyes but then immediately fell back to looking at the floor.

Your eye twitched and you leant forward reaching your hand out and turning his face to look at you holding it in place. Minato's perfect blue orbs were glazed over, it was like he was ashamed of himself or something.

"Talk to me Minato... What's wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong"

"Don't lie mister"

"I'm not..."

" I said don't lie Minato"

He huffed at your words and furrowed his eyebrows together. You could see his jaw clenching. He was now looking at you straight in the eye and you were doing the same right back at him with your (e/c) eyes.

He was giving you that look. The look of sadness that he could conjure up without even trying. However, you knew that look and it only ever appeared on Minato's face when something was deeply worrying him or there was something that he couldn't forgive himself for.

"Don't give me that look Minato..." You looked down at his hand, it was clenched and it was... Shaking.

"Why is he shaking? Has he done something wrong? Does he need to tell me something? What if somethings happened and he's been keeping it to himself?"

You looked back up to his eyes to see that they too had looked down at the bed sheets. "Oh fuck it" was all you thought in that brief moment and then it was like your body moved by itself.

You brought his head down into your shoulder and kept one hand firmly on the back of his head and gently stroked his hair. You moved your other arm to around his shoulders and gripped his clothing tightly.

"(Y/n) what are y-"

"Shhh". You silenced him. "What does it look like I'm doing idiot. I'm giving you a hug because you sir need one and I'm not letting to until I think it's ok to let you go. Got it."

You felt his body ease up and he wrapped his arms around you tightly. He buried his face into your shoulder some more.

"And you can drop the 'I'm a man so I've gotta be tough' act too coz if you aren't gonna cry then I'm gonna have to do it for you".

You felt him nod and a tear slid down your face. You absolutely hated seeing Minato brake like this, it didn't happen very often but he doesn't talk about anything. He just takes all of his problems on by himself and then he takes everyone else's on too.

"You really are an idiot you know that?"

"I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry you have to see me like this".
