Naruto Kurenai Drabbles Etc

Notes: Smurf is doing the no power thing again... so when I was over lastnight I borrowed the disk with her Naruto stuff on it and decided to update for her. She doesn't know yet... I don't think. At least she hasn't called demanding to know where her disk is, so that's a pretty good indicator that she has no idea I took it.


Drabble Etc 36

Kurenai always made sure Naruto knew that he was loved; she told him so on several occasions, and she showed it as well. She showed it in the way she would take him out for ramen, and in the way she straightened his forehead protector when it was tied too loosely and was slowly sliding downward to cover his eyes. She showed it in the way she held his hand in public, even though she was well aware of the heated glares and hurtful whispers circulating around them. She showed it in the way she didn't insist he not wear orange when going out with her. Orange and Naruto were somehow one in the same, and she didn't want to change him for anything.

Naruto always made sure Kurenai knew that she was loved too; though he hadn't told her so until after a mission gone wrong that had nearly cost her life. Still, Kurenai had known. The blonde had showed it. He had showed it in the way he would smile more brightly every time she entered the room, and the way his hand always seemed to seek hers, at least as often as hers did his. He showed it when he kissed her hello, a soft quick kiss to the forehead, and in the way he touched her, even when they weren't being sexual. He showed it when he remembered small things, like the fact she always wanted a cat, or how she loved Monty Python movies, and hated black licorice.

Kurenai always knew that Naruto loved her, even if he didn't come right out and say it as often as she'd have liked. He showed it all the time and that was what mattered.
