It was deep in the night, people in Konoha are asleep. Streets were quiet and dark, a gush of the winds could only be heared. The only people that are awake is the ninjas that's on duty.

In the senju house, the lights were off as the two members of the Sannin sat on the comfy couch-infront of the TV-as they decided to watch a movie instead of going to bed and fall asleep. Although, they couldn't really sleep at all so there they were, sitting on the couch, drinking sake. The movie they were watching is so random, like the first thing they watched was that comedy-more like corny (Tsunade said so herself)- then that drama which it left Jiraiya crying, and then the horror movie. Though they weren't really scared of it, to the fact that they experienced weird vomiting creepy things during missions and...to the fact that Jiraiya is already drunk-

Tsunade snapped out from the TV when she felt a head on her shoulder. She looked down to her side and saw Jiraiya, he passed out. Her eyebrows were arched up as she looked at him in amusement, wondering why is he so calm as he's drunk.

There were murmurs and a groan when Tsunade stood up from the couch. She grabbed Jiraiya's other arm and flung it gently on the back of her neck as she slowly stand the drunk man up, "Come on, it's enough for you."

Jiraiya whimpered at it in a slight protest, "N-no, i wanna watch that corny horror movie with you more."

"Nope, it's bed time for you, Big Man." Tsunade said as she slightly struggled on walking on the stairs, "Would you work with me here?! Damn it."

The drunk Sannin could only do is groan and whimper as he's drunk to do a thing 'right'. After a good 20 seconds of struggling on the stairs, both Sannin has made it. Tsunade went straight to the comfort of their bedroom, sighing in complete relief that they didn't fall down while walking up the stairs.

They stumbled through the bedroom door and onto their bed-

Thud*

A soft thud slightly sounded as Tsunade laid the drunk man on the soft surface of the bed. She stood infront of him, looking at his position. His head was hanging on the edge of the bed as well as his arms. Tsunade just shrugged-thinking that that was 'good enough'-and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to quickly hop in her night gown.

She picked her night gown that was hung on the back of her closet and went into the bathroom. Once she was done putting her night gown on, brushing her hair, doing her night routines, she went out of the bathroom and saw Jiraiya. He was still laying on that same position she left him. Though, knowing the man for years and actually slept with him in a same tent during missions, he's not really the type of man who moves so much in his sleep. Which is she's glad.

Smiling a little, she quietly made her way to the bed and carefully slid in the warm soft blanket as to not startle him-

"Tsunade?" Jiraiya sleepily said, nuzzling his face on the crook of her neck as he hugs her so dearly.

Tsunade slowly ran her fingers through his snow white hair as she answers him with a blush on her face, "Mhm?"

"Thank you." He stated in a low voice.

"What for?"

His embraced on her tightened, "For letting me feel what it's like to have a family and for giving me one."

A tender smile graced her plum lips to what he stated. In truth, she should be really the one whose thanking him. He had done so much for her and did nothing but give happiness and luck to her life. If she only let him get a date with her back then...maybe their lives would be so much better compared to now-

She pushed the thoughts off of her head and allowed herself to sank into the warmth and comfortable feeling that she's feeling in his embrace. Her soft hand were still playing on his hair, sometimes she wonders how could his untamable hair could be so smooth and soft as a cotton ball. It's making Jiraiya look like a soft man rather than his usual fiery look as he seems to be relaxing and liking his hair being played by her.

"I should be the one to say thank you, you know." She stated.

He shook his head against her chest and then spoke, "No, no. You know that i grew up without a family and yearned for one, so with that i'm really thankful to you."

Silence loomed around them as Tsunade didn't know what to top his words. Instead of 'protesting', she fully laid on the bed with him embracing her. She felt a warm feeling, she didn't knew until now that his hugs were so soothing and warm like she could just stay in it forever. How silly of her to forgot that Jiraiya is the 'heater' between herself, Orochimaru and him whenever they were in a place that's unbearably cold. She could still remember the time that she and surprisingly Orochimaru would scoot over to Jiraiya and huddle for warmth.

Her eyes has began to flutter open and close as she stares up at the white bore ceiling. It's time to take a rest. She was about to fully close her eyes when Jiraiya spoked again.

"Tsunade?" He mumbled.

She sleepily hummed in response, "Mhm?"

He took a moment of silence before speaking, "I love you."

With that both of them has fallen asleep. And for the first time in years, Tsunade could finally sleep peacefully as she didn't have to worry about those dreams and past events that hunted her for years. The three words Jiraiya said to her were echoing in her mind as she sleeps. Her heart is beating so rhythmically along with his.

The moonlight iluminated the sleeping couple as it seep through the window. The moon seems to be brighter, the stars were twinkling excitedly, and the night is more...magical. Probably because of the genuine smile that's gracing the couple's lips or probably because of...them.


Eyes fluttering open, Jiraiya woke up from the heat of the sunlight that managed to seep through the window. He sighed heavily as he felt relax-and warmth-even though his head is pounding hard like anytime it would explode. The chirps of the birds were adding into the relaxing feeling he's feeling. Thanks to the pillow he's hugging he guess. It was soft and smells like Tsunade's scent-Wait...

His eyes were wide as realization dawned him. He lifted his head up a little from the 'pillow' as he tightened his embrace on this 'pillow' we're talking about, just to confirm if it is a pillow. And that's when he heared a soft moan as soon as he tightened his embrace.

Slowly looking up, his face turned red as the color of a tomato. The thing he's embracing was no pillow but it is none other than Tsunade.

"Tsu-tsunade's hugging me in her sleep! Kami, my head is nesting on her soft melons. Am i even kid?" He thought to himself and placed his head back on Tsunade's 'melons', bringing Tsunade more close to him. "But..this is so nice. Reminds me of my teddy bear back then when i was a child."

He nuzzled onto Tsunade even more, taking the warmth her body's radiating. And that's when he felt her soft hand gently running through his hair, making him even more relax in her embrace. And that's when he started to panic, secretly, when she spoke.

"Enjoying hugging me?" She teased, eyes were still close and hands were still playing his hair. "I didn't know you to be so clingy early in the morning."

He pushed her away from him and stood up from the bed. He placed his hands on the sides of his forehead as he spoke to her protestedly with his back facing her, "I'm not clingy!"

She smirked as she looks at him mischievously, elbows propped up on the soft surface of the pillow as she rests her cheek on her palm. "Well why are you hugging me as if i'm a teddy bear?"

"I'm not the one who hugged first! You did!" He exclaimed, facing her now as he points his index finger towards her.

"Hmmm.." She hummed as she pretends to think, tapping her chin with her index finger, "From what i remember, you hugged first while you were saying 'Tsunade thank you, Tsunade i love you' last night."

He looked at her, lost for words. "I said that?"

She nodded.

"What did you responded?!-Wait that doesn't matter because i'm so fucking embarass right now!" He turned his back to her as he stomps towards the bathroom. "I'M GONNA BANG MY HEAD ON THE WALL WHILE TAKING A SHOWER."

Tsunade watched him stomp towards the bathroom with an eyebrow arched up. "Jiraiya?"

"WHAT?!" He irritatedly asked, stopping on his tracks with his back still facing her.

"'I love you'." She mimicked his drunk voice from last night just to annoy him more.

BAM*

The door of the bathroom slamed shut as soon as Jiraiya walked in it.

"STOP, IT ISN'T FUNNY!!" He yelled inside the bathroom.

Tsunade's head fell back as she laughs at him loudly. Oh what a way to annoy him early in the morning.


It was now lunch time in Konoha. Tsunade and Jiraiya sat down in the kitchen eating what Jiraiya cooked for the both of them. Shion is in the living room inside her playpen, just to distract her and give her parents some time to eat. Speaking of her parents.

Awkward silence were present in the kitchen as the two members of the Sannin eat lunch. Jiraiya is 'normally' eating. Tsunade on the other hand is eating her lunch, head faced down on her food and not daring to talk to him nor land her eyes on him.

Jiraiya cleared his throat as he decides to cut the awkward silence, "Why are you so silent, Tsunade? Geez."

She didn't talked, she just reached towards the glass of water and drank it while looking to the side. It didn't took a genius to realize the cause of her silence.

The blonde Hokage placed her darling daughter in her playpen before running towards the stairs, hurriedly. Her hands were on her abdomen as she runs on the stairs. She slammed the bedroom door shut as she runs towards the bathroom.

"Gotta pee, gotta pee." She hurriedly said.

She sighed in relief once she's infront of the bathroom door. Turning the knob to the side, she unlocked the door and went in the bathroom. She was about to slid her legging shorts and panty down when-

"TSUNADE?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Jiraiya exclaimed in the shower.

Tsunade felt like she could die in any moment now. She slowly turned her head to the direction of Jiraiya and saw him. She felt a clogged in her throat once she saw him. She saw every bit of him. Especially his man thing. She covered her eyes by placing her hands on her eyes.

Jiraiya looked at her dumbfoundedly, wondering why is she clasping her hands on her eyes. And that's when realization dawned him. His eyes widened, felt himself panicked, and hurriedly covered himself with a towel. "I-i.."

"LEARN TO LOCK THE DOOR YOU IDIOT!!" Tsunade yelled as she runs out of the bathroom with a blush on her whole face.

"Why the hell are you even here?! Can't you hear the shower running?!"

Tsunade couldn't help but giggle at what's happening right now and couldn't help but groan as she really felt the urge to pee. "I'm gonna pee you asshole." She whined, "Jiraiya, hurry u-" Tsunade looked inside the bathroom for a second to check if he's done and that's when she saw it again. "HAHA."

Jiraiya frowned and hit her face with the other towel as he walks out of the bathroom. "What are you laughing at?"

Quickly stopping her laugh, "N-nothing, nothing." She stated as she slowly creep inside the bathroom with a grin playing her lips.

"Tsunade look at me." He demanded and she didn't she just continued to look to her side. That's when he knew that he's gonna take matter to his own hands by gently grabbing her chin and forcing her head to face him. She's facing him alright, her eyes weren't though. "What's the matter with you?"

"Just complimenting my food." She whispered and took a bite of her hotdog. "It's delicious, see?"

Jiraiya crossed his arms and leaned his back on his chair. "I think that's not the reason why you're not looking and talking to me, being awkward and all."

"It is."

"No it isn't."

"It is."

"No."

"It is."

He chuckled, "Just because about what happened earlier, you're not gonna talk to me? I mean.." He smirked mischievously, "any woman that had the chance to see me naked would be awkward around me."

Tsunade coughed, almost choking as she eats her food. She drank her water again before finally speaking to him, "Jiraiya. Fist of all, you're getting fat. Second, shave your ass. And third, learn to lock the damn door."

"Is the actual me getting fat or my di-"

"Manners Jiraiya. Manners. We're eating you dumbass." Tsunade said after throwing the kitchen towel to his face.

"You're enjoying it though. I bet you're thinking about it right no-OW!"

Tsunade smacked him on the head, stopping him in the process. "What did i just said?"

"Okay, okay. I'll stop." He stated but- "But you were actually enjoying it-OW!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"
