Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, this is purely fan made.

Lips pressed to my neck, falling into your eyes.

I just want to create a world where Tsunade can be happy with someone, so this is me making it better for her.

Chapter 1

Yes! Yes! I do! I do Love you!

Lightning cut across the sky, thunder rumbled threateningly and rain poured heavily over the village of Konohagakure. The thunderstorm had been battering the village since morning.

Excused from entering work, the Hokage sat snuggly on her chair, in front of the fireplace, wrapped in a blanket and drinking hot tea. The storm was a nuisance, but Tsunade had the bad weather to thank for the relaxation she was having now. The weather allowed her to forget all the stress of being the village leader. She set her cup down, lay back on her chair and started to fall asleep. But her carefree atmosphere was upset when she heard a loud thud outside her door and her name called weakly. Tsunade should have been annoyed by this but the tone of the voice that called out to her seemed to belong to a broken man. She rushed to her door, opened it and saw a blond spikey haired teen soaking wet and collapsed on her porch.

"Naruto!"

*with Naruto a few hours ago*

Another storm was raging inside Naruto, where confusion cut across his world, dilemma swirled in his gut and uncertainty clawed at him. Now 19, he thought of calming himself by medicating himself with sake. It seemed to work for the adults (remembering Jiraiya and Tsunade). The thunderstorm didn't bother him one bit as he made his way to the nearest bar where he drank himself silly. He left when the bar declared it was closing down.

Naruto wobbled onto the streets. He could barely stand so he leaned against a fence and slumped. He stared up at the pitch black sky, dazed by both the alcohol and the feelings he's begun to acknowledge. He debated with himself "It isn't right. My feelings. . . they shouldn't exist. . . . not for her. . . she. . . she" The Jinjuriki mustered all the decency still left in him as he headed toward her residence. Either by alcohol or by emotion, he suddenly had to see her, touch her, smell her, and just be with her.

*back to Tsunade*

Tsunde was panicked to see Naruto in this state. "What in the world happened" she thought. She got down to her knees and rolled the unconscious shinobi over. He reeked of sake so Tsunade understood. She tried to shake him awake but to no avail. She dragged him inside.

"What came over him? Drinking so suddenly."

Naruto shivered in his drenched clothes, he let out a moan. Tsunade set her questions aside as she dragged Naruto near the fireplace. She removed his clothes leaving only his boxers, dried him off and wrapped him in a blanket. She went into the kitchen to brew a fresh pot of tea.

"Naruto? Naruto? Wake up"

"Huh" he managed, his mouth in a drought. "Where am I? Who's there?" Naruto forced his eyes open (they felt 100 kg. heavy)

He was met with deep worried golden eyes.

"Drink this, it will help" Tsunade handed him the cup of tea. "Take it easy Naruto"

"Ugh" his head was throbbing violently. It felt like his head was about to explode.

Tsunade turned and gathered Naruto's wet clothes on the floor and headed for the bathroom. She came back a few moments later with a robe in hand.

"Here, you can wear this while your clothes dry off"

Naruto was so embarrassed; he didn't even have the courage to look at Tsunade. He reached for the robe.

"May I use your bathroom?" he muttered with his head down.

"Straight ahead through there, first door to your right."

Naruto slowly stood up and ran to the bathroom. He faced the mirror and slapped his face repeatedly, thinking "What are you doing? What the hell were you thinking coming here? This is very inappropriate!" He slapped himself again, shook his head, took a deep breath and calmed himself. He put the robe on and started making his way to the fireplace. He was surprised when he didn't see a woman there.

His eyes wondered the room looking where she could have possibly gone to. He then heard noise towards his left. He followed the sound and found himself in the kitchen. Tsunade had her back to him, she seemed to be cooking.

"Tsunade-sama? I'm very sorry for burdening you. Soon as my clothes dry I'll be on my way" he turned to walk away.

"Sit down Naruto," her voice didn't give away how she felt about the situation, but her authority seeped through. Naruto pulled out a chair. Tsunade then served him a hot bowl of soup and sat herself across the table. Embarrassed, the still drunk teen looked only to his soup as he sipped some.

"I remember my first bottle. Nawaki had just died and I tried to forget by drowning myself in sake. I destroyed the bar. . . Hmmmm" a vain smile forming on her delicate features.

Naruto raised his head and stared Tsunade shocked. "Sh-She's not angry?" he thought. But he didn't say anything, he just bowed his head again and sipped another spoon full of the hot soup.

"So, mind telling me what this is all about?"

(Silence)

"Hmph, not intending to talk are you?! You came to me, so that must account for something. So. . . What's bothering you Naruto?"

(Silence)

"Fine then. I'm going to bed you can spend the night here if you'd like. You can use the guest room." She stood up and started to walk away. She was obviously upset and disappointed at Naruto's lack of trust of her.

Naruto was left there sitting, head down, and tears rolling down his whiskers. His hands were clenched into tight fists. He was confused and frustrated. Now he also intruded and upset Tsunade.

"I love her. . . I love her so much! Damn it! I love her!" he stood up and ran towards Tsunade's room.

Tsunade lay awake on her bed, heavily bothered by Naruto's actions. She felt him standing in front of her closed door. There was a knock and she got up to open it. Naruto had his head down. He was still unsure.

"What is it? The blankets are in cabinet"

"Tsunade-sama I. . . " he couldn't spit it out.

"Naruto it's late and I'm tired so if you don't mind. . ." she pulled the door hoping to close it but Naruto pushed it open.

"I love you! I love you okay! I know. . . I know it's wrong but I've tried my hardest to block my feelings out but I keep failing again and again. I see you and damn it! My heart races!"

"N-Naruto?"

"I never intended for this but. . . but it hurts. You're the first one that crosses my mind when I wake up and the last when I sleep."

"Naruto. . hey"

"You're beautiful and kind and you've always been there for me. You believe in me and you've been the only person who has taken care of me"

"Naruto please. . . stop" she placed her hand on her shoulder.

"It's wrong! It's wrong I know but I can't help myself! I love you! I really do!" He raised his head to meet Tsunade's worried look. He was out of breath. He was holding back his tears.

Tsunade looked at him shocked and confused. She was at a loss for words.

"Please Tsunade-sama say something!"

"I think you had a little too much to drink. It's late and we're both tired. Let's just go to sleep and talk about this tomorrow" with that Tsunade flashed a smile at the teary teen and closed her door.
