Prompt: Paperwork
The first time he filled out paperwork he had been a chuunin and had just led his first mission. It had been successful and he liked the paperwork. At that time he had been 13 and the only thing that was waiting for him was a drunken father.
He walked home slowly, savoring the freedom of the night before entering his oppressive home. Luck wasn't with him and his father was still awake, still drunk, and still angry. There would be no escape this time. Even if he was a chuunin and a genius, his father had been one of the best before losing his leg and being forced to retire.
That night Minato went to bed covered in bruises, most of them having nothing to do with the mission. He decided that he really liked paperwork. After all, it kept him away from his father.

The last time he did paperwork he was the fourth Hokage. He was working on the last bit for the day and he was hurrying through it. Kushina's due date was in a week so Naruto could arrive at any time and he wanted to be there.
Finally he finished and rushed home to be greeted by the sight of his very pregnant girlfriend preparing dinner. He snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She sighed and leaned back into his arms. He decided he didn't like paperwork anymore. After all, it kept him away from Kushina and Naruto.
A/N: Another short one, but I still liked it. Next one should be up at about the same time tomorrow. Hope you loved it!
