Besotted
"Hungry…" He whined to no one in particular and stumbled his way through the streets of Konohagakure, heading in the direction of his favourite restaurant. "Ramen."
"I cannot believe Hinata-sama would throw away her life so carelessly." A voice grumbled angrily; his heart stopped and he froze in bewilderment.
"She's fine now thanks to Lady Tsuande's apprentice, I just wish for her sake she…wasn't so-so besotted with that Uzumaki boy!" A different voice complained and he relaxed upon hearing his someone he considered a friend was fine. He also knew that they were talking about him…but what did besotted mean?
"Naruto!"
Turning toward his name, he found Iruka-sensai waving at him and quickly approached the older man. "Hi, Iruka-senai. What's up?"
"Would you like to join me for ramen and catch up?"
"Boy, would I!" He exclaimed excitedly, following his former teacher into the stand and taking his seat. He greeted the owner and his daughter, ordering his meal for himself and Iruka-sensei did the same. For some reason, those villager's words came back to haunt him and he stared down at the counter-top in confusion.
"Something bothering you, Naruto?"
"Yea…do you know what besotted means?"
"It means to be foolishly fond of someone." Surprised yet delighted the boy was willing to learn; he answered him as best he could. The blond simply gazed at him in confusion, blue eyes narrowed with that typical thinking expression laid out on his features. "In other words, to really like someone."
He smiled when Naruto gasped in understanding and then frowned in concern when the teenager stared down into his meal uncertainty. "What is it, Naruto?"
"Well…there's someone who likes me but I can't say the same and I…I don't know what to think or do. It's also a little hard to wrap my head around."
"Do you have feelings for someone else?"
"No…not anymore."
"Then just take a chance."
