Drabble Etc 37
There were seven words that struck fear into the heart of Uzumaki Naruto, and they weren't "We are out of ramen, sorry, Naruto." Although, those words when spoken did make him feel a little – alright, a lot- panicked. The words that sent the blue eyed man's heart dropping to somewhere around his toes didn't come from the kind old man at Ichiraiku or his daughter, instead they came from Kurenai.
"I don't think this will work, Naruto." She hadn't quite looked him in the eye when she had said it, and she had seemed almost reluctant to do it… almost.
"What? Why?" his voice held a note of pleading. He hadn't done anything wrong… he didn't think he had at any rate. Well, he had gotten cold the other night and closed the window, but he didn't think that was grounds to break up with him.
"Because we're too-" she stopped, shaking her head slightly before starting over, "Because I'm too old for you." It was true, she knew it was true. She was often times teased by Tsume and her other colleagues about having robbed the proverbial cradle. She was also aware of the younger villagers- girls closer to Naruto's own age- and the attention they lavished upon the whisker marked man. "Don't you want someone younger? Like Hinata, or maybe Ino, Sakura even…"
Naruto frowned then, and tilted the older woman's face upward so that she was looking at him. "I want you," he told her. "If you're going to break up with me, you're going to need a better reason than that." Kurenai's red eyes had widened a little at that, and Naruto's face shifted from a dark scowl, to his trademark foxy grin, "So what do you got? My apartment too messy? Too much orange in my wardrobe?"
Kurenai shook her head a small smile tugging at the corners of her mouth at his suggestions.
"Good, 'cause, I ain't gonna let you go."
Let's surprise Smurf with reviews okay?
