To most people, it was offensive.

But Naruto wasn't most people.

Sakura would get mad at Naruto sometimes, going off on him, calling him a string of insults, most commonly ''baka.''

But that wasn't the only time she called him Baka.

It was when he'd returned from the brink of death, collapsing in her arms that she would call him Baka the most.
He loved it when she said that.

''Baka,'' she'd whisper, ''why do you have to be so reckless...?''

And he'd just smile into her neck, letting her hold onto him.

Baka was meant as an insult. It was strange that, with Naruto being the kind of person he was - someone who didn't take too kindly to insults of any kind - he would simply smile at the word. He even looked forward to hearing it.

Because sometimes, when it was just them, she would call him ''Baka,'' and even though she never said it aloud, both felt with their hearts the word she put in front of it.

''My Baka.''

Author's Notes:

Cheeeeeeesy! xD
D'aw, I love this kind of stuff! Super cute and super cheesy!
I was just in the mood to write a short, short, SHORT fluffy one-shot, since the story I'm currently working on is... well, a little depressing.
Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for reading!

I'll give you a cookie if you review :3
