NARUSAKU ;; seals
per the request of tumblr user ijutsu
When Sakura first tells him that she finds her yin seal embarrassing, Naruto doesn't know what to say. She's going on and on about it and he's really wishing he hadn't had the gall to call it cute. He wouldn't have said a word if he had known this would be the reaction.
"It's hideous," Sakura laments hopelessly, her pink hair fanning over the creamy white of her pillow. "And it's just... right... there."
To illustrate her point, she thumps her own forehead. Naruto wisely doesn't comment on the fact that this gesture results in a loud, hollow echo. She goes on: apparently, the seal's color is all wrong because it contrasts with her hair and doesn't match her eyes, and the placement! The placement is just cruel. Naruto glances down at his own stomach; the seal that binds the kyuubi within him isn't currently visible, but that doesn't change the fact that it's there. Wordlessly, he pulls the bedsheet up to his chin.
"I don't care what you say," he remarks stubbornly. "I still think it's cute."
Sakura glares at him harshly, then softens. "You would," she teases before lowering her voice in rough imitation: "'A forehead so charming... makes me want to kiss it!'"
"Yes, yes, guilty as charged," he says while reaching for her across the bed. "And now there's a target so I can't miss it, y'know!"
Then again maybe he could because just moments later, he was kissing her lips instead.
