When She…

Naruto/OC

When she puts her face near yours…

Naruto relaxed in the Sakura park, watching the sunset, a book open beside him. It was the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe… he had had to re-read it because, considering it was late winter, missions were low, and he wasn't the most… wanted ninja, to say the least, and he couldn't afford a new book.

"Naru-kun? Oh, I'm sorry, that's rude… Is it all right if I call you that?" A familiar voice said. Naruto smiled, not moving his head because he felt lazy that moment, and looked at her out of the corner of his eye.

"Call me what ya want, Tenshi-chan." She blushed slightly.

"Soon enough people are going to think that's my real name, if you keep calling me that."

"Well, you are an angel from above."

"Sweet. It bothers you that I'm taller, doesn't it?"

Naruto grinned.

"Very much. Would you like to sit?" She flushed, biting her lower lip.

"Uh, actually, I'm here on work. Special delivery." She was smiling softly, a twinkle in her eyes. Naruto sat up, brow furrowed in confusion.

"But I didn't order anything." Of course he didn't. He liked to go there in person so that he could see her.

"I know, but with the missions all lethargic as of late… I thought you might want some reading material to keep you entertained. Don't worry, it's out of my pay check."

"I couldn't. It'd be rude."

"Think of it as an early Christmas present."

"You're not going to let me refuse, are you?"

"Nope. I all ready payed for it, anyways, and you know our return policy."

Naruto loved it when she was stubborn. She blushed a lot, and smiled, and oh, her giggle… Naruto fought off his own blush and got to his feet. She stepped forward, and handed him the bag. He set it down on the bench.

"Thanks," he said softly, suddenly at a loss for words. She flushed, and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Naruto thought fast. "Don't I get a goodbye hug?" She blushed, and turned back to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and resting her cheek beside his. He wrapped his arms around her waist. She pulled back slightly, her breath that smelled like caramel hitting his mouth.

She was so close…

And so, taking a chance, he kissed her. Softly. Chastly. Sweetly.

She pulled back, a million colors of red, mumbled a goodbye, and sprinted away. Naruto grinned.

He had such a way with woman. She was so flustered…

Kiss her.
