Together Forever [Naruto x Reader]

Chapter Four- Warmth

A few days had passed since the incident with Naruto occurred, and you've since forgotten. That was until every time you ran into the Uzumaki. The two of you haven't spoke much since, mostly just routine "good morning"s and normal "good night"s. You didn't know who was the one in the wrong, so you didn't want to apologize either. Were you wrong for your best friend not trusting you, or were you just overeactting? Maybe you were reading too much into all of this too.

You were sitting on the couch in the living room, but it seemed that everytime you were out of your room, Naruto either left the house or locked himself up in his room. Luckily, and for the first time in days, Naruto opened his bedroom door, causing your head to dart in his direction. His sparkling blue eyes glistened in the brief moment that they met with yours, but they quickly averted the other way as he walked into the kitchen. Your forced your head to look away as you took in a quiet breathe and picked up another piece of cheese pizza.

"I should've got something else..." You muttered to yourself, a normal occurence.

Naruto's head turned toward you.

"What did you say?" He questioned curiously, a slight bit of hesitation in his voice.

"Hm?" You hummed, turning your head toward him, your mouth filled with pizza.

"[Name], you look like a mess." He sighed, grabbing his cup of water and walking over to the couch.

"No I don't." You growled, swallowing your chewed up pizza. "What do you want?"

"Are you angry at me?" He asked, a confused look on his face. "I don't get what's going on right now."

"I thought that you were angry at me." You muttered in confusion, pushing the box toward the light-headed boy. "Have one."

"[Name]-"

"Just let it go, okay?" You stated, clearly done with the conversation. "I've learned to make peace with it, so should you." You exhaled. "Now come here and sit down next to me." You scooted your body over toward the side of the couch.

The couch inside your apartment wasn't the biggest, but it wasn't just a comfortable couch chair either. It was a perfect for two black leather couch, perfect in the case of any food or drink spills. Naruto sat down beside you, spreading his legs.

"Okay. If that's what you want," He sighed, grabbing a piece of pizza and taking a bite, his ocean blue eyes gazing into yours. "You know I'd do anything for you."

"And vice versa, Naruto." You stated, rubbing the pizza sauce off your face. "You're my best friend." You smiled, pushing him with your shoulder, causing the pizza he was holding to fall flat on his shirt.

"Ah!" He screeched, quickly standing up so that the pizza slice slid off his shirt. "It's all orange now." He sighed, pulling off is shirt. "That's was so freaking hot, [Name]."

What a wonderful play on words.

You shook your head quickly, snapping out of your stare.

"What?" You asked blankly.

"[Name], are you okay?" The blonde asked, wiping off his chest.

Oh, those perfect abs. Keep going, Naruto, keep going.

Sure, Naruto was your best friend, but did that mean you couldn't imagine a little bit? Or just even stare...

"I'm going to go chan-"

"No!" You screeched, interrupting the blonde. "I-I mean-"

"What?" He asked, his face blank. "What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing!" You yelled, turning as red as a tomato. "I-I mean, come here! You're going to miss the show."

"Oh!" He yelped, jumping down beside you and grabbing some of your blanket. "This time I really need a blanket, I have to stay warm."

"Don't worry, Naruto," You smiled, scooting closer to him. "I'll warm you up."
