A reader request. Jiraiya as Hokage au. Minato and Kushina live au. Reader is Jiraiya's second hand/aid and one of his students. She is deeply in love with him but believes he doesn't feel the same. Aware her clock is ticking she retires to try and find herself a family... or tries to retire.
You knock on the door, but get no answer. Hm... Strange. You've learned by now that when it's quiet in that office, something strange is happening. You open the door with eyes clenched shut. You crack one open to inspect.
Jiraiya is there. He's sitting at his desk. Pants on and everything. He even has that robe on. He never wears the hat. It is always sitting neatly on the hanger behind him. He's focused on something on his desk and writing furiously. Okay. Still rather odd. He doesn't work hard like this ever. Wonder if something happened to cause him to hand out notes or mission statements? But he usually calls you when that happens. As his number two, you needed to be in the loop.
"Lord Hokage?" You ask for his attention.
You don't get it. Jiraiya is too busy. He's so intensely focused. It's the most focused you've ever seen him work. His pen moving quickly as he finished a page and flipped over to the back side to continue.
"Hey sexy!" You raise your voice.
Still you get no answer. You raise a skeptical brow. Hm... strange. Usually he tunes in when you say stuff like that. He usually calls you something stupid like that too. You waltz in freely. As his aid, you didn't need permission to enter. You put the new pile of paperwork on the only free corner left on the desk. The rest is covered with yet to be done work. You walk around to stand behind him. You lean down and look over his shoulder.
"Whatcha doing?" You whisper behind his ear.
"Fuck!" Jiraiya yelled in startle. He turned his head towards you and scowled. "Don't do that!"
You smile innocently and wrap your arms around him from behind. You look down at the paper he's writing. There's a break in his neat handwriting in the form of a deep black pen mark going off of the page. It scrawled off like that when you scared him. As suspected, he wasn't doing any of his paperwork at all. He's writing porn.
"What scene you writing now?" You ask.
Jiraiya had his hand over most of the paragraph. You reach out and grab the corner. You began to tug on it. He sighed and released it. He's already caught now anyways. You kiss his cheek to thank him and look over the paper. He huffs and looks away with a slight tint of pink over his cheeks.
"It's good." You compliment. You flipped it over to read the back. "Saucy!"
He snatched the paper from your hands.
"You see it's comments like that make me hesitant to show you my work!" Jiraiya complained. He folded the paper and stuck it in his pocket.
"Aw don't be like that! I love you...r work."
You stand up straight and sigh. Your slip up almost ruined everything. You chew your cheek and pray he didn't notice.
Yes... You are in love with Jiraiya. You didn't mean to fall in love. Especially with him of all people. Jiraiya was more than just your leader. He was a lot of things. Leader, teacher, friend...
You met him when you were a kid, but didn't develop feelings for him until you were an adult. There was something about him. While he can be a crass cocky perv, but he's also sweet and considerate. He always took the time to pull you aside and talk to you. He could read you so easily. He knew everything about you. He's so easy to get along with. You know what makes him happy. You could make him happy.
At the moment you are stuck in a crossroads. You are a newly graduated Jounin. With little experience aside from Jiraiya's number two. You are suited for a very niche type of fighting that's rarely called upon. There was so many times you considered giving up on your career because it got overwhelming. No one believed in you. Except for Jiraiya. He was so nice to you. Kind and thoughtful to your problems. He took the time to train you one on one when you fell behind. He always told you that you aren't weak, you just needed to be taught differently. Being stuck in your position meant you don't go out on a lot of missions. But you were always near the man you want.
You haven't been on a date in a long time. You haven't had sex in a long time. It's some of that pent up energy that made you realize how you felt. You couldn't get Jiraiya out of your head while having a round of alone time. There was one reoccurring scene that kept playing around in your head. Just a normal conversation with Jiraiya that suddenly gets heated. It normally started with talking about his next book and what he wants to put in it. Speaking the erotica out loud only got you and him riled. He'd sweep all his stuff off his desk with one motion of his arm before turning around and gripping your hips. He'd throw you on the desk, tear your clothes off, and fuck you until you are crying from the overstimulation. His breath by your ear and tips of his hair tickling your skin while his hot solid body rocking against you. All while you claw at his back and scream his name to high heaven.
You want him. Which is a little fucked up. Anyone would assume all the wrong things. The man you are with was not only the Hokage, but you also work with him and he was once your teacher? It had unhealthy written all over it. But they just don't get it. You don't love him because of these things. But others won't see it like that.
Oh god. Imagine what your team will say? You like Minato a lot. He's like a big brother. You've known him since childhood. You don't want him to think the wrong thing. You always struggled to keep up with him. He outpaced you because he's a prodigy. It's not like he was mean or smug. He was actually the nicest person you know. But there's a nagging voice in the back of your mind telling you that he'd be pissed. You are sleeping with the teacher. No wonder you won out on being the Hokage's aid over him. Well, he later told you he was glad, since it meant he got be with Kushina more consistently.
That'd be nice, wouldn't it? Having a person to come home to. You don't got that. You got a career to push forward in. Not that it was going anywhere. It did kinda feel hopeless to continue down this path. And when Kushina announced that she was pregnant, a jealousy rose in you that you didn't expect to feel. You love her too and didn't want to be bitter during such a happy time. Then she had her baby. A beautiful little boy they named Naruto. Watching them all be together and be so happy made your heart pang with longing. Especially when Jiraiya held the little bundle. He loved that kid like his own and looked pretty good with a kid in his arms. If only if he was holding a little bundle of his own that you mothered. That'd be perfect... if life was perfect. Life isn't ever perfect.
But all this didn't matter. Nothing can happen. Not with you anyways. Jiraiya most certainly didn't feel that way about you. Why would he want his old student? While he named you his most trusted comrade, he hasn't done anything since. Hell... he even brings women into his office. You've learned by now that when the door is closed and it's quiet, he's probably having sex with someone. You've walked in on him having sex on that desk enough times to leave mental scars. He always apologized once his one and done leaves. But it did it's damage. It's quite clear Jiraiya doesn't want the things you want and wouldn't make a good partner. He's never seen a woman more than once unless it was strictly a fuck buddy situation. For sometime you considered becoming that, if only to know what it was like to sleep with him. But it would be messy. Very very messy. You had too many feelings for him and it would be unhealthy. A clean break would be easier.
After plenty of thought, you have come to the conclusion that all of these reasons are why you are unhappy. A kinda mediocre career that no matter how hard you pour your blood and soul into, leads to nothing. It's not fun being an aid anymore. Being around Jiraiya everyday hurts more than it being fun. It used to be lots of fun! You used to sit on his desk and chat. He was so easy to talk to. His hand sometimes grazed your thigh while he made a comment on the things you wore. He'd pump his eyebrows and jokingly compliment about what a woman you've turned into. He sometimes pulled you into his lap while he worked on reports with the excuse that he can't focus unless there's a pretty girl sitting on his knee. It was fun to entertain him on occasion. You got him to focus on his work, which was the point of your job. And while he whined and complained when you took away his drinks he hid in his desk, or hide his 'inspirational romance magazines' from him, he always just... cared. His grin was roguishly charming. He's laugh was loud and contagious. He trusted you to read his drafts and make edits. He trusted and cared about your opinion over anyone else's. He knows you more than anyone does. He's just... perfect.
It doesn't make you happy anymore. Being around Jiraiya all the time with the knowledge that you can't ever have him just hurt too much. It feels as if you've outstayed your usefulness. You are clinging too hard to the past. You are an adult now. You can't hold onto your teacher like this. It's keeping you from growing. Jiraiya grabbed your arm, bringing you out of your thoughts. He swivelled his chair around towards you to and pulled you into his lap. You fall into it quietly.
Jiraiya frowns. You've been quiet a lot lately. It's not like you. You are usually playing off of his snarky comments with even more snark. You don't take his bull crap, which made you so much fun! You've always been like that. You shot back at him with the best comebacks since day number one. The day he met you, you crossed your arms. You looked him up and down before turning to Minato and asking if this was really the teacher they were gonna learn from. He laughed for a while after that. Good lord, you are sassy. To be fair, he always encouraged it. He'd like to think that the reason you are so quick witted is because he let you snap back. Too many teachers tell their students to be quiet. It's a shame really, because they grow into bland adults. You are the opposite of bland. It's why Jiraiya hired you as his number two over Minato. While Minato was smart, he was too sweet to give it to Jiraiya straight. He'd get around to breaking it to Jiraiya gently while you just snort and say fuck no that's terrible. It's that type of quick harsh honesty he needs in his life to do this job. For real... he can't do this without you. The only reason he considered this job was because you said you would help him.
But you don't really do that anymore. You nod or shake your head. You don't talk a lot to him anymore. Some days you simply drop off more paperwork and leave without a word. Jiraiya even apologized to you. He wasn't sure what he did to make you so distant, but he didn't want you to be. He had strangely gotten used to how quiet his office had gotten. It wasn't filled with your sarcastic scoffs and teases. He didn't like it. Hence why it scared him when you spoke. A glimmer of hope that you have forgiven him and doing better is shining in his eyes. It grows as you let him pull you into his lap. You've pushed him off and walked away for a few days now. You do this sometimes, but not all the time. You usually do it was a smirk and a roll of your eyes before you lightly scold him about being inappropriate in the workplace. Other times you just sit and let him work. That warm tingly feeling of being so close to someone made him work harder. It got him to work even better when you played with his hair or your finger traced his collarbone. He likes you... a lot. His office already feels cold and weird with you always so quiet.
"Are you doing okay?" Jiraiya asked you. He wraps his arms around you. "You aren't really acting like yourself."
"Oh... I'm fine. Just busy with things." You answer vaguely.
"Am I overworking you? You can take the day off if you want."
You shake your head. "I'm not overworked."
Despite not wanting to, you leave the comfortable spot on his lap. His eyes follow you with his lips in a pout. You walk around the desk to the pile of work you left on the corner. You sift through it to find what you need.
"We need to go over your schedule for next week." You state.
"Alright." He sighed and sat back in his chair. This is probably the most boring part of the job. "What do I gotta do?"
You flip through the schedule and start to inform him of his meetings. The loudest groan in the world left poor Jiraiya when you told him he had to meet with the council about a mission gone wrong on Wednesday. It's no secret he hates the elders. He only really tolerated Hiruzen out of the four of them. He fights with other three constantly with Danzo being the worst of them. It's quite clear the Roots boy himself is out for Jiraiya's job. He's tried in the past to whisper secrets in Jiraiya's ear to convince him that war is a viable option. But being raised to uphold the peace before anything and having those morals has made Jiraiya completely resistant to the idea.
"There's always a peaceful alternative to war. I'm sure we just overlooked something." Jiraiya would always answer the hateful old man with a smile that never failed to piss Danzo off.
It's a confrontation you'll miss seeing. They are both so stubborn and childish. They always butt heads. And half the shit Jiraiya gets away with is mostly because he can or because Hiruzen is there to keep most of the peace. The few times you've tried to keep them from snapping each other's heads off, Danzo snarls at you that you have no voice here. Which always prompted Jiraiya to defend you with a reminder that you are to be respected as his aid and have valid opinions. Which only made you more attracted to him.
There's not a lot going on the rest of the week. You lot time for when Jiraiya has to visit the academy to greet the new first years and inspire them. To which he said you should just go. You are far more inspiring than he is, or so he says. You bite your tongue and keep going. There's several time blocks at the normal time for the mission assigning throughout the week. He huffs, finding that just as boring as when he had to get assigned to them. The only fun thing about it was messing with the new graduates when they see their leader slumped in his chair smoking a pipe and telling them they gotta go pick the weeds from someone's lawn or catch a run away pet. They are always so shocked and appalled when they see how casual he is. Again, another thing you'll miss.
"And I've set aside a half hour on Monday morning for..." You trail off. Saying it was harder that you thought. It already tastes bitter on your tongue.
"For what?" Jiraiya asks you to go on with a frown.
"For training your new aid." You finish quietly.
"... What?"
You look up from your paper to see Jiraiya staring at you. He's very upset by this that was easy enough to see. It was that childish expression of disbelief and sadness. It looked like as if you just told him you found his pet dead in the street.
"I'm sorry, my lord." You say. You try to smile, but it doesn't come off genuine. "I'm quitting. I wish to resign as a ninja."
"Wh... what?"
"Can't you say something else?"
It sucks seeing Jiraiya look so hurt. He swallowed down the growing lump in his throat and tried to form another word. Something. Anything. But all he can manage to think of what to say is...
"Why?"
He watched you shrug with a frown. You shift your weight back and forth before explaining yourself.
"I don't... I just..." You pause and sigh. "I'm not getting anywhere here. I was never a good ninja anyways. And I've realized after seeing Minato and his family, that I want that too."
"That's not true. You're an excellent fighter!" Jiraiya stood up and stated your name very seriously. While he's holding it together physically, it was obvious that his eyes are getting glassy with the urge to cry. "You can't leave me! You can have a family and still be my aid! I don't want anyone else!"
"I'm sorry, but that can't be possible. I have other reasons for wanting to go."
"What are they? Please tell me!" He demands. He begins to barter with you. "Is it me? Whatever I did, I'm sorry! I'll do anything to keep you here! I can't do this job without you here. I'll go crazy without you to talk to! You make it so much easier! There's no way there's someone else out there as good as you are."
You ignore him as his speech gets quicker and quicker with a plea for you to stay. More money, more time off, a nicer office. It didn't matter what he offered you. You can't stand to be here any longer. You pluck out your choice as replacement for you from the stack of papers.
"Here's my top pick for my replacement. You already know her..." You continue to talk as if he were quiet. She's one of the women you know he banged in his office. She always struts back in every month or so looking to get lucky. She usually does. She seemed to be his favourite of the bunch so why not let her take over? They'd get along.
Jiraiya snatches the paper from you and throws it to the side.
"I don't care if I know her or not! She's not you!" He shouted. He walked around his desk and grabbed you by your arms. He held you tightly and shook you as if it would shake your ideas of leaving from your head. He pulled on them hard enough to force you to drop all the papers. They fluttered and scattered across the floor at your feet. "I need you! Why are you doing this?"
Your heart is hammering in your chest. You want to cry. You can't look him in the eyes as he looks so distraught. It feels like a bubble in your throat that's wanted to rise and pop into words. It finally pops, as if his shaking had shook it to your tongue.
"Because I love you!" You blurt out.
He freezes. Shock takes his expression. With wide eyes and an open mouth. It looks as if Jiraiya was going to say something back, but you completely threw him off. He wasn't expecting a confession.
You pull back, now able to since his grip relaxed. You take a few steps back and your back hits the door.
"I can't be around you anymore." You admit. Your voice wavers as you confess. "It hurts so much to love someone who doesn't love you back. I know you don't love me and never will. So please... just let me go so I can move on... without you."
Jiraiya is motionless. He listens to you silently. There's tears in your eyes and you can't seem to catch your breath. You keep wiping away the little droplets that break free from your eyes as you hiccup in a shallow breath. He picks up his foot and silently makes his way to you in a few strides. You shrink back a little when he reached out. He cups your cheeks. He ran his thumbs under your eyes to wipe your tears away.
Seeing you cry made his heart ache. Such a pretty face shouldn't be sad. He never meant to make it sad. He does understand how you feel. He's been in love with someone who didn't love him back. Jiraiya just figured he'd never find someone again and decided that sleeping around with any woman who would have him would help bury the pain. It did... but wanting something more always lingered in his mind. He had no idea you had feelings for him. Why do you have feelings for him? You deserve better than on old man like him.
Yet... Jiraiya finds himself longing for you. You and him make sense, but also don't. He gets along with you so well. You are smart, sassy, and beautiful. There's nothing else he could want in a girl. The fear and pain he felt when you told him you are leaving had opened his eyes to his true feelings. But you are young. You were his student. You are his aid. People will think the wrong things. But he doesn't care. If you left, he wouldn't know what to do. He can't do this without you. He can barely function without you. There's no way he can lead the village if you left... He probably wouldn't even get out of bed.
You inhale sharply and hold it. Jiraiya is kissing you. His lips are warm and soft. His left hand moved off your cheek to run through your hair. It went around and cradled the back of your head. Your hands moved of their own accord. They run up his arms to his shoulders. You step closer to him. The gap between your body and his had closed. This was as good as you thought it would be.
"Wait." You gasp when the kiss breaks for a moment. He went back in a second later to cut you off. His tongue ran along your teeth with a plea for entry. You pull back and try again. While you want him to shove his tongue down your throat, you have to get ahold of yourself. "We can't be doing this."
"Why not?" Jiraiya asked. He cleared his throat to get rid of the hoarseness to it. Kissing you felt like drinking good whiskey. Smooth with a sweet note that coats his throat like honey. "Didn't you just say you love me?"
"I do... but..." You gently push away. "We want different things."
"What do you mean?"
You run your hands back down his arms. You lick your tingly feeling lips before explaining.
"I want a husband... I want a baby." You feel the heat rise to your cheeks at finally saying it. You do want that with him, but he probably doesn't want that kind of relationship. "I know that you aren't interested in that... right?"
Jiraiya sighed softly. He raised his hands and placed them on the door behind you right beside your head to box you in. He looked you over slowly as he thought about that. The lifestyle change that came with being with you... It's not terrifying when he pictures it with you.
Having a wife and child. It made sense. Jiraiya has been swimming in proposals since he got promoted. The elders were pressuring him to find a wife. They were prodding him to take a noble woman from either this territory or another to establish good bonds. But a woman from the village would be acceptable too. He considered you to be the best option when he thought about it. Just those late night pondering thoughts as he imagined what it would be like to have a family. Your face always came to mind. He thought it was nothing since he spent every day with you. It was always more than that, he sees that now. It all seemed to work out, since you got feeling for him and he's just realizing he's got feelings for you. You make everything better. The idea didn't sound so scary if you were the one helping him be a family man.
"I'm going to be forty in a few years..." He sighed again. That's depressing to think about. He looked at you and cracked a smile. "It's about time I stop acting like I'm twenty and grow up." Jiraiya grabbed your chin securely, but not hard enough to hurt. It was just enough to force you you stay put and look at him. His smile grows bigger and fonder. "A family sounds like a nice change. Care to make one with me?"
"Is that your idea of a proposal, my lord?" You ask with a dripping sarcasm.
"So what of it is?"
You put your arms around his neck and rise on your toes to get closer to his face. You drop your voice to a whisper. "Then I must insist that you prove you are man enough to court me."
"But of course!" Jiraiya laughed. He dropped his hands to your ass and squeezed. His lips hover above yours while your hips connect against his. "I'd never disrespect a lady like yourself by being rude as to just expect you to agree!"
"And whatever shall you do to prove yourself?"
"Oh ho!" He jovially exclaimed. "I plan to part your legs and fuck you until you can't walk! Is that enough to prove myself?"
"Depends."
"On what?!" Jiraiya sounded slightly insulted.
"Your performance!"
To your surprise, Jiraiya picked you up off of your feet. He's chuckling with a slight bit of a dark edge to it. He'll perform! He'll perform until you can't handle it! He carried you back to his desk and set you on the only clear spot. He held your lips in a long hard kiss that he finished with a bite it your lower lip before pulling back. He smirked at you. He tossed away all the paperwork and knickknacks on his desk to the floor. Paper flew around like snow all over the dark wooden floor. You fall to your back over the desktop with his gentle push. He gets over top of you.
You smile at Jiraiya fondly. He returns it and his fingers dance around the buttons of your blouse. You run your fingers around the collar of his shirt. He lays overtop of you and his lips press against yours.
"I love you... I guess I should say that." He chuckled. He kissed your jaw and ear. "I love you!"
"I love you too!" You shout you are so excited.
You share plenty of kisses with him. You wrap your legs around his waist. You make out happily with him as he undressed you and you undress him. The attraction you feel for him is solidified as he got just as excited as you were. The skin of his fingers were a little rough feeling along your ribs and belly. Yours feel amazingly soft along his chest and abdomen. You saw him naked intentionally for the first time. Jiraiya laughed when he saw you. Not because it's funny, but he really couldn't believe how pretty you are.
It really wasn't all that weird. Being naked and displayed on the Hokage's desk right in front of him. It's even better than anything you could dream. His eyes scan your body slowly. You are laid over the length of it with your legs apart. Jiraiya plays around a little to get a feel for what you like. His fingers press and curl inside of you. His tongue runs over your nipples before latching on to nibble on one while his free hand pinched the other. Each of these things got the reaction he wanted out of you.
Your hands clutch and squeeze his shoulders and eventually move up into his hair. Your hips jerk and buck in time to the thrusts of his fingers. Your thighs keep grazing his cock and it's easy to tell he's hard. Knowing how aroused he's getting just from teasing you is motivating you to help. You cry his name and grip a hard fistful of hair. He grunts and he bites down. It hurt but it wasn't hard enough to bruise or bleed.
"Ah! Jiraiya please!" You whine. "I-I need it!"
He pulled back with a smile. You've never just said his name before. It's always been with a title. You sound good just yelling his name in pleasure. A shudder runs through your body when he slid his fingers out of you. They are shiny and slick with your fluids. Smells pretty good too. His whole office is beginning to smell sweet with sex.
Thankfully, this desk was just the right height for this. Jiraiya pulled you forward just a little bit so his thighs don't dig into the trim of the desk with his thrusts. You hold onto his arms. He's sat up straight to line up properly. Your face contorts as he slides in inch by inch. He tried to be slow to be both romantic and accommodating to your needs, but you pulled him close with your legs. You wrapped them tighter around his waist and forced him to push in to the max in a few seconds.
Jiraiya wobbled with unbalance when you did that. He leaned forward and planted his hands on the edges of the desk on either side of it. He paused when your eyes connected with his. You smile after a moment. His cock is just the right fit. Big, thick, and so eager it's throbbing. He cracks a smile back at you. His chest moving deeply with excitement and anticipation. You feel better than any woman he's had. Right and tight.
"You feel amazing." He exhaled the sentence in one breath.
"Mm!" You agree. Your head rolls back with pleasure. "You feel so good!"
Your mouth drops open when Jiraiya pushes his hips in. His eyes flutter for a moment from the sensation. There's a dull thunk when you relax your tense neck and your head hits the desk. Your body rocks with the motion of his slow thrusts. It got faster. Then faster. The pace picked up gradually until you were rocking the whole desk rapidly. It was hard too. When his hips connected to your ass it sent ripples along your skin and tingles up your spine. The legs of the desk were squeaking against the floor and scooting backwards with the force.
At this point the whole estate probably knew their leader was having sex again. The way you cry his name was unbridled in volume. You have become blurry eyed and stimulated to the point of your muscles coiling. Your back is completely arching off of the desk. You dig your fingers into his skin involuntarily as you cum. He pauses pushed all the way inside of you to let you milk it.
You sat up slowly with shaky arms assisting you. You hold Jiraiya tightly and kiss him. He smiles when it breaks and quietly asks you how you feel. Is there really words for it? All you know is that you want more. He nods in agreement. More sounds good. He picked you up by your ass and adjusted you. There was no position you didn't explore on that desk. Back, front, legs up, one down, one up. At one point you and him switched where he was on the desk and you were on top. It came to an end with a glorious climax. By the end of it all you could do was sit next to him on the floor and try to catch some breath. You nuzzled right up against him. He holds you and kisses you.
"I love you." You say again. This almost feels too good to be real.
"I love you too." Jiraiya was more than happy to say it back. It's not scary when it's someone he's always cared about.
Someone came in during that blissful afterglow and shrieked about the mess. By their aged voice, you'd guess one of the elders. All of them were shrill, even Danzo had his moments. You shrink down behind the desk as you worried about someone seeing you. They already disapproved of you as an aid, they'll have a cow if they see you naked and freshly fucked by the Hokage. Jiraiya had quickly thrown his pants back on and stood up to calm the person down. He took the blame for it all claiming he just got fed up and felt like throwing his work.
"But the mess? Why did you do it?!" They demanded and explanation.
"It certainly made me feel better. Don't worry, I'll clean it up!" Jiraiya tried to please them with that promise and began to push them to the door.
"And where's your aid? Isn't this her job?"
"Not really. She has better things to do than clean up my mess. Just leave so I can clean!"
The door slammed. You came out of your hiding spot. You approach Jiraiya with a smile and hug him. He held you tightly and kissed you. It's never felt so good to hold somebody. He began to sink to his knees, bringing you with him to the floor. Your back hit the wood as he pinned you under him with your gorgeous body framed by the paper like you popped straight from it. You kept whispering those precious words to him as he kissed you. He has no choice but to smile and say them back.
That was two years ago...
Its hard to believe that much time has passed. So much has changed...
You knock on the door to the Hokage's office. There's a slightly distracted sounding invitation to come in. You aren't his aid anymore, it'd be rude to wander in. You are trying to surprise him anyways. You open the door and smile. Jiraiya is writing away like a mad man. The pile of done paperwork was stacked neatly and sealed aside from this last one he was just about to sign off on. He looked up and smiled.
"Hey honey!" He greeted you. Then his expression lit up more at the sight of the baby in your arms. "Hey, it's the little guy! You brought him too!"
He scrawled his signature and finished with a dramatic period at the end. He put the paper on the top of the pile and left his desk to say a proper hello to his family. He pulled you close and kissed you. Then scooped the nine month old out of your hands to give him some kisses too.
Kiragi laughed that wonderful baby laugh as his father blew a raspberry on his belly and pretended to gnaw at him by dragging his teeth gently on the babe's tummy and making obscene eating noises. Jiraiya quickly grew into his role as a father. He was comfortable with his baby. He liked doing all the different challenges that a family brought. Like waking up at odd hours of the night to comfort and feed his baby. Or pretending to munch on Kiragi's cheek while the cute little thing was attempting to feed himself. Playing peek a boo and tickling his son to see that big toothless smile. The house was always filled with baby laughter because of his efforts.
Little Kiragi was a cute wee baby. He was all chub. A big fat happy baby that took after his father. He's got a headful of fluffy white hair and happy grey eyes. It's not just the physical traits either. Not even one and you've caught him causing some trouble. He can crawl away quickly to hide after he's caused some mischief, much like his daddy does. They smile in the same way when they want you to not get mad when they did something bad. He's on the cusp of talking but not there yet. He babbled half words and laughed as Jiraiya played around with him. It forced you and Jiraiya to watch how you talk. Neither you or him wanted Kiragi's first words to be vulgar.
So far Jiraiya has made one big misstep when it came to fatherhood. He took Kiragi with him to work without telling you. He just decided you needed a break and he could work just fine with a baby in his lap. But as a new mother who was still incredibly emotional from the wild hormonal ride that was pregnancy, you reacted poorly. You raised all levels of hell. You even summoned a team of ANBU. They flew into action as the missing child of the Hokage could mean war. They were gone for only a few minutes. They returned with your sheepish looking husband holding the unharmed very happy baby. Jiraiya felt like garbage after stressing you out like that. You were in tears and shaking because you were so scared that you lost your baby. It was irrational when you look at in retrospective. There's no way Jiraiya would let anything happen to his kid.
Still so... You are frightening. You stepped up and threatened an ANBU when they mentioned something about Kiragi. While the mask hid their face, it was clear they were taken aback. It was the only time you or Jiraiya saw an elite crack and show emotion. He never takes Kiragi out without telling you now. You love and protect that little bundle with an intense ferocity. It's now a funny story you share with friends that makes Jiraiya red in the face. He was long forgiven, you just enjoy picking on him when the opportunity shows itself. Plus he quickly redeemed himself when he got Kiragi to laugh for the first time. That baby laugh was addictive to listen to.
And as a husband? Jiraiya was phenomenal. He's not perfect, no one is, but he tries. He's affectionate and loving. He kisses you and calls you beautiful. You come home to a sexy older man who is well practiced in many things. He's loyal too. The moment he got involved with you, he stopped seeing other girls. He turns them away from his office. He takes their hands off of him and tells them to go. He's got a beautiful wife now, he doesn't need them. He's always loved you, he honestly just didn't know it. It all made sense now. He refused to let you go because he never just saw you as his old student. Your mind and beauty are a rare thing that he knew he shouldn't have let go. He almost lost you and a world without you would have sucked. He only became Hokage because he needed your support. You still do support him, you just do it from home. While you are still a trained ninja, you prefer to be at home with the kid. But Jiraiya always assures you that the door is still open if you ever wanted to go back into active duty.
"I thought we were going to meet up at the restaurant?" Jiraiya asked. He tore his attention away from his adorable little one to look at you. It was hard as Kiragi was babbling for more attention and his chubby fingers poked his dad right in the cheek.
"I figure you'd like it better if we met you at work." You answer.
"It is a good surprise." He paused to kiss you again. "I just finished my work. Let's get out of here before they drop more on me."
"Shouldn't you get those filed?" You point to the stack and raise a brow.
"Meh." He shrugged. "It can wait a day."
You scoff. He scoffs. You meet his gaze evenly and curl your lips into a tight frown. After a moment, Jiraiya cracks first and smiles. You smile as well and pull him down by the front of his shirt for a kiss. You aren't his aid anymore but the habit was still there. Only now you can be sarcastic and you get to make out with him. You are probably even more critical of him as his wife than you were when just his aid. He ushered you to the door while looking down the hall with a frown. He shed his robe along the way, not wanting to walk around advertising who he is. People will still recognize him, but it'll be a bit slower if he looks like a regular citizen out with his family.
"Jiraiya!" The crow voice of Koharu bellowed from the other end of the hall.
"Damn it!" Your husband hissed in your ear. He handed you back Kiragi and turned around to face the approaching elder. He's gonna need all of his focus to deal with the old crow.
"Just what are you doing, boy! You have work to do!" She yelled at him.
Jiraiya crosses his arms and scowls. "I already told you that I was taking a half day today."
"Only if you finished your work!"
"And I did! It's on my desk."
They bickered back and forth. Koharu looked past him to you. She scowled in disapproval.
She didn't like you. The elder council was old fashioned. They are also just old entitled people. It got out that you were a month pregnant when you got married to their leader. They didn't like that, but were at least nicer to Jiraiya once he got married. The only reason they treat you decently is because you mothered the Hokage's son. They still were kinda hoping he'd take the kid and dump you for a more powerful woman. You don't got any sort of jutsu to pass through the blood and clearly the kid needs a better shot a life than you can provide. They don't like that you are young and once his student. They think you are too young and irresponsible to raise a family. They think you are after something with Jiraiya's titles and status. Which was absolute bull, but it was fun to mess with them by playing along sometimes. At one point you and Jiraiya tricked them into thinking that Kiragi wasn't Jiraiya's kid and that there was one hell of a scandal going on. The office gets really boring without you here, so he plots with you instead to make some fun.
The elders have gotten a few earfuls of fuck off from Jiraiya when they go too far with their comments. As he sees it, he's in love and that's enough. You agree. Your child doesn't even need to become a shinobi if he doesn't want to. Which caused the elders to practically have heart attacks. Kiragi may be the Hokage's son, but he won't be forced into doing anything. He's a person not a pawn. Hiruzen was the exception to this. He was incredibly sweet to you. He usually stopped to talk to you and coo at your baby when you visited Jiraiya at the estate. It was obvious how proud he was that Jiraiya found someone and was making a growing family. The other old bats were just sour about the whole thing.
"Bah! Bah!" Kiragi pointed to his father and gestures he wants to be held by him with little grabbing motions with his wee chubby hands.
You rock him and hush him, not wanting him to interrupt. Jiraiya casts a glance behind him and smiles at his family... It's nice having one. Just from looking at them he knows he's made the right decisions in life. He's never been more motivated to live. He ain't really living when he's stuck in the estate.
"Koharu! I don't want to fight today." Jiraiya raised his hand in a gesture for the old woman to stop. He does not have time for this. "I'm spending time with the people I love. I told you a few years ago when I agreed to take this position that you'd have to give me reasonable time off. Don't bother me unless there's an invasion or something."
"Well I!" She huffed.
He span on his heel and left with you, not even waiting for the old woman to finish her sentence. He took Kiragi back to carry him. His hand pressed on your back while the other held the happy baby. Behind you, you could feel the sour cat butthole lips Koharu was doing while glaring at the back of your head. Your man had chosen you, which of course must mean you are a terrible wife who is selfish for wanting his time over supporting him to stay at the office. But Jiraiya was never married to his work. He still slacked off when he could. But today he caught it all up so he could spend his day with no worries. It's a time of peace after all, there's no reason a Kage from any nation should work so hard.
Your family was only a little bit late. Minato and Kushina were already there at a table. Little Naruto was running circles around the table. He had just turned three. He was happy and had too much energy. He was practically bouncing off the walls. He gasped and ran towards Jiraiya.
"Uncle!" He cries out in joy.
Jiraiya squatted down and caught Naruto in his free arm. He lifted the toddler up and he now had two handfuls of children.
"Hey kiddo! Did you get bigger?" Jiraiya asked with a smile.
"Yes! I got big!" Naruto agreed happily. He bounced on his butt excitedly as he chatted. "I big like you!"
"Really? I'm not sure if you are my size yet. Maybe in a few years!"
"Yah!"
Jiraiya attempted disassembled the children from his body once he made it to the table. It was difficult as Kiragi got a handful of his bangs and Naruto was climbing all over him in an attempt to stay with him. Kids always liked him but now they were attracted to him like flies to honey since he became a father. Not that he minded all that much. Helping inspire the youth is part of his job. He's gotten a reputation as one of the friendliest leaders since he always stopped to chat with the curious children. They seemed to like the big man who was the epitome of a friendly giant. Half the time you find him late for his meetings because he's sitting on the ground entertaining a class of children that had surrounded him with his stories and tricks. He had them all mesmerized by his dramatic retellings and wide gestures with his hands as he spoke. He managed to get Naruto to settle in his chair and Kiragi in a high chair next to you. Both boys whined but stayed put when he asked them.
Your friends finally got a chance to greet you. They stood up and smiled. Minato went in for the big hug for you and your husband. Kushina was similarly friendly but more harsh as her hugs were more bone crushing. They were a blessing to be around. Their love and warmth for others was so wholesome.
They've been incredibly supportive. When they learned you and Jiraiya were an item, they reacted very positively. Sure, they were surprised because of the interesting circumstances, but quickly became happy that you and Jiraiya found each other. Both of them were very excited to have another couple to hang out with. Both of them were apart of the wedding and are your baby's godparents. It was excellent to have someone else your age doing this whole parent thing. While Jiraiya was older, he was the biggest kid at heart and wasn't sure where to start with this whole journey. Now he has his students to rely on, who became his family. It all just came together perfectly with his students having kids at the same time where you both could learn from a reliable source. Minato and Kushina were happy to teach you and Jiraiya a few things for once. Getting together with Jiraiya has actually gotten you closer with them. Minato and Kushina had become the siblings you've always wanted.
"We um have something to announce." Minato interrupted politely.
Kushina beamed and raised her glass like it was a toast. "I'm pregnant again!"
"What!" You gasp. "Same here!"
Minato beamed. He looked over to Jiraiya, expecting the same reaction. His expression dropped a little with a quick realization. The smile on Jiraiya's face dropped to confusion. He looked at you squarely.
"I'm sorry what?" He asked.
"Oh!" It hit you that you forgot to tell him. "I found out this morning and I was going to tell you tonight, but this is just too perfect!"
He tilts his head at your curiously. "And your body can handle that? You just had our son."
"Oh please, I didn't just have him!"
You wave off his concern. Yes it'll be hard on your body, but Jiraiya and you agreed on at least three kids. Having another right away shouldn't be too much harder. Kushina holds onto your hands and jumps with you in excitement. You share a hug and excited chatter. She's only a month ahead of you. Which means these babies can grow up together. Same classes! Same friends! They'll be cradle to grave friends. Together until the end. It was much like you had with Minato. Having that for your child would be wonderful!
The whole lunch was abuzz with the happy conversation about babies. Minato and Jiraiya were mostly quiet as their wives chatted on about all the play dates their kids are going to go on. They more or less shrugged and agreed to pack a flask for all these outings at the park. At least it means always hanging out together.
After lunch, you said a happy goodbye to your friends and went home with your family. You set Kiragi down for his nap. He's a pretty easy baby and falls asleep quickly. When you step out of the nursery, Jiraiya is right there waiting for you. He pulled you close and kissed you. His hand stroked down your torso and settled on the area he knows is holding his child.
"Another baby already, hm?" He was looking at your belly and not your face. It was more like he was talking to the baby rather than speaking to you. Another one doesn't sound bad. Maybe a daughter this time. A little girl would be a nice new curve to master. He's already picturing a little sister for Kiragi that'll look just like you. But another son won't be bad either. He already knows almost everything about raising a boy. He's just happy to be so lucky to have a growing family.
"That's right." You confirm with a smile.
A smile grows on his lips. He pulls you flush against his body. His hands move to grab your butt.
"Whatever shall we do to celebrate?" He asks with a sarcasm you know well.
You smile at him. You place your hands on his shoulders. You kiss him. There's really only one thing you can do.
"Practice making the next one?" You suggest.
"Sounds good!"
Jiraiya picked you up off of your feet. You and him laugh as he takes you away to the bedroom. You and him celebrate late into the night! Life really is perfect.
