Why do I love him?

Naruto's house

SUPER sorry for the late update!! It took me really long to write this chapter mainly because the first time I wrote it got deleted by mistake and it frustrated me a lot. So I procrastinated. But, well, I did it...finally. Sorry again about my tardiness. And sorry if it feels rushed in anyways.

*************

I sat in my room for most of the day doing my homework because I wanted to avoid Naruto as much as possible. He came back around lunch time with instant noodles and chilled in my room, even though I specifically told him I wanted to be alone.

 Every now and then Naruto would crack up laughing; he was sprawled on my bed reading a manga while I was trying to concentrate on doing my homework or at least pretended to.

“Would you shut up?” I said glaring at him as he laughed again, “Why are you in my room anyways?”

Naruto peered at me through the manga and said, “I don’t get why you’re doing your homework. I mean it’s the weekend, chill out!”

“Just leave.”

Suddenly Naruto got up throwing the manga in the process, he grabbed my arm and pulled me off of my desk, “Why are you studying? You already have perfect grades; ditching homework once in a while will do you no harm.”  He said with a smirk.

Naruto dragged me out of my room and forced me to wear his winter jacket as he said, “We don’t want you catching a cold now do we?” he then grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me out of my house.

“Let go! Where are you taking me?” I asked.

“To have some fun!” he said joyfully.

I tried to pull my hand from his, but that only resulted in him tightening his grip on it, in the end I sighed giving up and instead tried to enjoy the fact that we’re holding hands in public; even if the feeling was just one-sided. I burrowed my face in his coat to hide my blush and to secretly also enjoy his scent on his jacket. Even though Naruto was only 3 inches taller than me, his jacket was a little big. I breathed in his scent deeply making sure I remembered it.

Naruto hummed happily throughout the way until we reached a 4 story apartment which I assumed was where he lived.

“Are we going to your place?” I asked as we entered the building.

“Yup!”

“Why?”

“Because.” He said simply

The moment Naruto opened the door a blur of orange fur suddenly attacked him, Naruto fell back laughing as his dog, Kurama, licked him in greetings.

“Hey big guy! Didja miss me?”  He said as he ruffled Kurama’s fur, the dog barked twice wagging his tail and then licked him some more. “Alright, alright I had enough, attack him now!!” Naruto suddenly said pointing at me.

“Whu-?” I said caught off guard, Kurama jumped at me and started licking my face. I fell back on my butt hard and tried to pry the dog off, “Okay, enough! Naruto get him off of me!”

Naruto laughed hard as he picked up his dog from me and laid him down, “You should’ve seen your face! Hilarious!”

I scowled to hide my blush and shoved him away.

When I walked into his apartment it felt like walking into a dump, there was trash everywhere, his clothes were all over the place and a pile of dirty dishes were sitting on the sink waiting to be washed.

“I don’t know what I was expecting…” I mumbled to myself.

“hm?”

“Uh…nothing. Anyways why are we here again?” I asked
