To fall asleep on someone and inadvertently leave himself so vulnerable like this…he must have truly been exhausted after whatever training he'd subjected himself to. She would have scolded him, but it would have required waking him, and she would have felt too guilty to do that. Likewise moving and going about her plans for the day would have woken him, so it was better to just let him nap and hope she could make up the time later in the day.

He was kind of cute, slumped over and asleep against her shoulder like that. They'd been in the middle of conversation—however idle—and he'd simply…dozed off. For a moment or two she panicked that he'd been suffering some injury…but aside from surprisingly low chakra levels, her medical sweep revealed nothing to worry about. He'd simply…been so exhausted he fell asleep mid sentence.

He was pushing himself far, far too hard.

She sighed and ran the tips of her fingers through his hair gently, before she turned and leaned her lips against the top of his head. If she were being very generous, she might actually count that as a kiss.

Maybe.
