I don't think I've told him yet, though I sure hope Naruto knows how much I truly appreciate him. Sometimes I'm not even sure I can tell him, simply because it's grown past being explainable; well, in words, that is—but I just know that Naruto has more than just a handful of my respect. As stupid and foolish as he may be, he's earned it.
I look at him and see this matured, handsome—wait, no, I take that part back—this mature, grown man who's slowly coming to be a person that nobody can forget. Behind that figure likes a child at heart. His views are full of such deep insight and he just wants everybody to come and smile, no matter how tough their life. Whether they want to or not, he makes them smile somehow, picks them up from the ground somehow—and that includes me.
He goes out of his way to make me smile, and he won't stop at it until I do. But it has to be a real smile, and he knows when it isn't. He doesn't just notice, either. He calls me out on it and says:
Sakura-chan! Either smile or frown—but don't fool people with a false smile! Smiles have to genuine!
Just the fact that he cares so much, enough to keep persisting me for dates; to make a stupid promise that he just won't drop; to give me all the attention I need and push away; to keep me at the top of his priorities. . .
That's just so much for one person to give and it makes me . . . well, it makes me happy.
He's the only person who's ever made me feel truly wanted, the only person to treat me with the most respect and care no matter how much I hurt him, no matter how hurtful my words can be.
If he's willing to deal with me, someone completely temperamental ( he can be so dense sometimes though, so he deserves it! ), impatient ( he takes is precious little time sometimes . . . the nerve ), and violent ( I've got to stand up for myself, don't I? ), he truly deserves my respect.
Naruto brings my spirits up somehow. He's been by my side, playing as the shoulder I lean on for Heaven knows how long. And he's still here.
There's no way I could ever replace him; someone like him doesn't come by twice . . .
It's a little pathetic—having such high appreciation for a fool like him.
. . . but he deserves it.

Author's Note:
This one's a bit like a sequel to Swagger, and I liked how it came out. I had fun writing it, and in fact, it came to me rather fast and thorough. Great request.
I hope you like it, everyone, Master390: )
Request rules: The request bank is in act. Simply review/PM me with your desired theme. The theme, however, mustbe a bit challenging, maybe even a little complex ( i.e: Simple: Attractive – Complex:Alluring ). Don't feel pressured or anything though: you may still request any theme you'd like and I will simply convert it into a synonym.
Leave me your regards in a review.
