Namikaze Family

A Divorce in its Doorstep, or so he thought? - Part One

A Ten-year-old child was hiding behind a wall, peeking from the door frame watching his parents with worry in his eyes.

Currently, his parents are fighting. The reason. Minato forgot his promise to Naruto and left Naruto waiting in the woods almost in the middle of the night. The young child understood and he didn't mind, since Obito and Rin who happened to be on their date passed him by and decided to accompany him. However, his mother was furious about hearing what happened.

"Every time, every time. This always happens, I can understand if it's me, since this always happens whenever you promise me a date. But Minato, we're talking about Naruto here. Your only son!" she shouted in anger.

"As I said, I already apologized to him and I didn't mean to forget my promise. Anyway, Naruto understood and said he's okay with some other time. Why can't you understand that?"

Kushina glared, fist balled, as she approached him furiously. "And what, make him wait again?"

"I said. I'm sorry! okay? I already promised Naruto for next month." Minato exclaimed loudly, his headache acting up as he started to get annoyed, he placed his cloak on the couch and went past his wife to get a glass of water.

"Minato! Hey! How dare you! Listen to me!"

Minato rolled his eyes at her, grabbed a cup, and poured himself a glass of water. He then opened the cupboard and took out medicine for his headache. He turned to his wife after taking the medicine and placed the glass on the counter. "Listen, I apologize for leaving Naruto on his own. I'll keep my promise this time. I promise you. Okay?" He tried to calm his wife, however, it gave a reverse effect instead.

"Whatever! You sleep on the couch!" she exclaimed loudly, anger still in her voice.

Minato could only stare at her retrieving figure as she stomped her feet in every step. He sighed and approached the couch to get some needed sleep, unaware of his son's presence, looking at him with worried eyes.

Naruto slowly approached his father and tapped his shoulders. "Dad?"

Minato opened one of his eyes and saw his son with a sad look and a frown. Minato sat down and beckoned his son to sit beside him. "Did you see that?" The boy nodded his head. Minato sighed as he patted his son's head. "Don't worry. It's common for your parents to fight, and you do know Mom is kinda hot-headed sometimes."

Unfortunately, it didn't lift Naruto's awful mood. He presses his nose to his son's hair as he drags him on the couch. The child flails widely due to the sudden force, embarrassed after he realized their position. His father was now laying on the couch with his arms around him. He felt his father turn him around and a hand on the back of his head.

"I'm sorry for letting you see that Naruto. Don't worry, Mama and Papa will be fine in no time" he muttered sleepily, slowly falling asleep while snuggling with his son. Naruto could feel the heat in his cheeks, a bit embarrassed, but happy. Hoping that everything will be back to normal by tomorrow.

Laters!
