He was walking down the pavement, eyes curiously watching the people surrounding him, lips smiling with happiness as they all met his gaze. The world around him was shining with sparkles as the early snow was falling over the village and in the chilly breeze he felt the smell of coffee and newly baked buns. As he walked into the hospital aria his cellphone beeped and he hurried to get it out f his pocket.

Sensei, can I give him the milk from the fridge?

He smiled and answered as he made his way inside to talk to his friend who was currently hospitalized. There were smiling faces all over the place that greeted him and he smiled back to all of them, the blue eyes shining with happiness. Though it was nice meeting his friend and seeing all the faces he still longed for the warmth of his home and those tiny arms, the warmth of that smile...

"Minato-sensei!" a girls voice called and he turned and smiled at his apprentice who came hurrying to greet him too.

"Oh Rin" he smiled and the girl smiled back, handing him a basked with cookies. "Eh why the cookies all of a sudden?" His smile showed he nothing but happiness but she knew him and her smile was a worried one even though no one else could have seen his sadness and sorrow.

"Sense.." she said and made him take the basket. "Me and mother made these... for you and the little one since you need sugar in your life to survive...!"

He knew that that wasn't really what she meant by saying those words and he saw how much she worried but he didn't show any of his emotions, the ones that she wanted to see... instead he smiled happily and thanked her for the basket as he took it. Her smile widened a bit but it was still obvious how worried he was. He sighed and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"I'm okay Rin..." his smile was war man convincing and her heart fluttered as he met her eyes with that blue intensity. "Really... I'll be fine and I'm so happy you and your family care so much about me and my family. I'll come visit you soon for sure" She smiled more and nodded. He knew it had been far to long since he had visited the families in the village and he felt a bit ashamed over that fact. Of course he couldn't blame it on any thing and it wasn't that weird that every one was worried when he hadn't done so but... he couldn't leave home and he didn't feel like going out right now... He was needed by the village and he knew that but he was needed more at home and he wanted to be there. He had no intention of missing any thing of what happened back there in the small apartment.

They parted. She was satisfied with what he had shown her and he was happy she was... but it was with heavy steps he entered the room to his friend.

"Hey don't come in here with such a emotional face punk" smiled the man and Minato blinked as he realized he had been sighing just as he entered the room.

"Heh sorry sensei" he smiled and scratched his neck as he usually did when not thinking about it. "I was just lost in thoughts..."

"...as always" the older mad smirked and sat up, though with difficulty, in his hospital bed. He had three broken ribs, a half ruptured spleen and his entire body was covered with bruises and cuts, still he was his old self, always making jokes, being optimistic and of course being a pervert, Minato loved that about him.

"Hey you shouldn't be moving sensei" he said as he hurried over to the man's side, helping him to sit more comfortably without killing himself.

"Yeah yeah" the man complained and shook his head. "I can't even do my research in this state..."

"you don't need to do any bloody research..!" Minato banned and gave him an eye of total worry and love. "stop acting like you don't matter... if you'd die like this then what would I do..?"

His teacher looked back up at him again, smiling a bit but not that usual smirk. This time it almost looked like he had been moved to tears. Slowly he reached out with a bandaged hand and put it on the head of his former student.

"Look at your self Minato..." he said with calm voice and shook his head again. "You are our forth Hokage... the most brave of us all, the most brilliant ninja in the village and loved by everyone... you are a father of a beautiful boy and I am just your teacher..."

"No not just my teacher!" he called and felt the tears reaching his eyes as his friend and guider said words like that to him. "you're like a father to me..!"

"Ssh... listen to me Minato" the man smiled but patted him harder on the head to get him to shut up basically. "You are like a son to me too, but I'm not going to die so stop worrying about me. You have your self to worry about and your family... now I'll be out of here in a couple of days and then I'll come over and help you with the little devil so stop thinking about me so much... you are a ninja aren't you? so don't be scared of losing me since that's not going to happen!"

Minato couldn't hug him even if he wanted to since he didn't want the man to die, but he felt his tears run down his cheeks now and saw the happiness in the other ones eyes and that was more than enough for him. "Thank you Jiraya" he smiled even though his voice was choked up with tears.

"Nah" the man smiled and blinked. "Everything for my son.."
