Naruto Uzumaki
Naru had been quiet lately, chatty, but not as chatty as he was before Sasuke left. It was like he holding back and waiting for Sasuke to come back to Konoha, even though he knew Sasuke is too set on his revenge. Sometimes, his serious belief and hope in people was a problem. After all, not all people have a reason for being the way they are.
You had seen.
People were just naturally greedy.
He would never accept that.
You knew that so you chose to keep your mouth closed.
You watched in dismay as he looked anywhere but you, fidgeting at the gate.
It hurt.
Everyone had come to see him off, some wiping away threatening tears, some telling him to be safe, some giving him travel gifts. Yet, you, his first ever friend and best friend, were being currently being avoided.
On the inside, you didn't want him to go and you wanted to tell him to stay here, with all your friends, with you, if only he'd give you the chance.
Suddenly, someone tapped your shoulder feather-light, scaring the crap outta you.
You turned around to see the legendary Sanin Jiraya, but there was something wrong with his face.
He wore a serious expression.
If Jiraya was getting serious, you knew something was going on.
"(Y/n) (L/n) of the (L/n) clan" Your eyes went large, the only one who knew your second name was the old man Hokage, how did he?-"Your ability is a treasure, but there's no time to talk about that here," He began but then stopped, leaving you in curiosity.
He nodded back small, before turning on his heel and walking away, writing something in a book as he muttered profusely.
That was weird.
You watched in shock as Naruto marched over to him.
Quickly, he snatched the book out of Jiraya's hands, before throwing the smut onto the floor, digging his foot into the case, shoving it further into the brown, repulsive mud. The pages tore from the friction and he left it only when he was sure it was unreadable, while Jiraya anime cried pathetically, watching the scene but not stopping it.
All too soon after, Naruto's heavy footsteps made their way to you, his anger coming off him in laps.
"(Y/n)! Was the old perv using you for his smut books?! Did you agree to become his inspiration or something!?!" Naruto's voice wasn't harsh at all, just worried and confused, mixed with a hint of shock.
You shook your head.
He breathed out, allowing himself to calm down. Then, he realised he was talking to you and sweat dropped, trying to turn away without a word.
"Naruto, we gotta go!" Jiraya smirked sadistically as he watched Naruto use the excuse to his advantage, telling you he 'had to go'.
Was this it?
Automatically, your hand reached out, tugging gently on his orange jumpsuit like you did when you wanted his attention. His heart skipped a beat at the sudden gesture, a blush spreading throughout his face, nerves rising. He knew you were gonna tell him not to go. If you told him that, he knew he would wuss out. Yet pulling away when you looked so weak and sad felt like the most evil thing to ever do.
His head mulled over the situation he had tried to prevent.
Did he seriously have to like you in that way?
His thoughts were interrupted by you, "Naruto..." Your heart-broken voice made his heart pang, "Why leave?" You asked sadly, and he was about to answer but you got there first, pouring out your heart to him, "Why leave all of us here. Why leave the leaf? Will you ever be coming back? Do you know how many nights of sleep I've been giving up because I have anxiety that you'll never come back, like Sasuke!"
'Of course he was coming back! How had you not know that?' He wondered. Didn't he tell y- oh- right he was avoiding you. It hurt him to think you would've been having sleepless nights, just thinking about him leaving. What about when he actually left?
He opened his mouth but you beat him to it, "No...Forget them," He stared in shock, what were you saying? "What about me? I know its selfish, but I really do care about you, why avoid me when you know I'm going to miss you!!" Tears now streamed down your face now and you were trying desperately to wipe them, "Do you not care about us all, no...do you not care about me!"
He had no idea.
You cared about him as much as he did you.
His smile turned into a frown as he watched you, unsure of what to do.
He knew what his heart was telling his body though, and so, his arms moved and he hugged you to his chest one last time before whispering, "I care about you more than you'll ever know. I'm going to be back. I promise you and..."
He trailed off, pulling away and wiping the tears out of your eyes,
"I'll be stronger than ever!! Believe it!!!"
