Naruto watched Lee as he bustled up and down the stairs carrying boxes, furniture a baby? up and down the stairs from his balcony window. It was quite reminiscent of his own move-in day.
Except, it wasn't.
Blue eyes narrowed when he caught the new tenant grabbing Lee in a headlock, touching his Lee so familiarly. Not that he'd told Lee he belong to Naruto.
He was pretty sure Lee wouldn't appreciate that. At least, not without reason. And had he given him a reason? No! Why? Because he was apprehensive. He was scared shitless. After his last heartbreaking breakup, he told himself he'd never fall for anyone ever again.
Sure it was all fun and games in the beginning, when he first met Lee. Naruto had no problems flirting and playing around. If he was to be honest, had Lee been willing to give up his body the first couple of days of meeting—because really, that was the first thing Naruto had been interested in initially, cause damn if he didn't fantasize about the curve of his back and the length of his legs wrapped around Naruto's waist—there was a high chance Naruto would have stopped all communication afterwards.
But Lee was oblivious to his advances and, in a roundabout way, Naruto was glad he was because in his pursuit for physical pleasure, he made a friend. A friend that made Naruto grin like a dope every time he saw Lee. A friend that churned up butterflies in his stomach like a lovesick schoolgirl. A friend that made him wonder if maybe, just maybe revoking that oath he made after his breakup with Sasuke might be a good idea.
His eyes followed Lee's movements. He was so innocent, with a purity that could put Mother Teresa to shame.
Naruto stood when the touchy-feely brunet slung his arm around Lee's shoulder, offering some of his beer with the other.
He turned his back to the scene and made his way inside with quick strides..
It was time to introduce himself to the new neighbor.
