Chapter 7 - Confession
Both panting loudly, they laid next to each other. Tsunade rested her head over Jiraiya's heart. "Your hearts pounding, and you're all tense. Are you all right? Was that bad for you?"
"No, no. You were better than what I'd dreamed. It's just…I guess I'm still not used to you excepting me" He gulped "too many rejections" he laughed nervously.
"I'm sorry…I'm sorry I kept rejecting you…I'm sorry it took forever for me to sort out my feelings…and that I never gave you a chance…I'm sorry for all the pain that I've caused you…I'm sorry for everything." She sat up unable to look at him; she was sickened by that side of her. That part was cold-hearted, isolated, selfish, and uncaring of other people's feelings.
"I'm a selfish person Jiraiya. Earlier when you were on the hospital bed…all I could think about was that I wanted to save you because…you were the only one who saw the real me. Ever since the first day we met…I always had that stupid shield up, keeping everyone away. I tried so hard to maintain it but you saw right through anyway…and you knew me better than I knew myself. It scared me…but I liked it. To know that I wasn't alone anymore, it meant everything to me" As Tsunade nuzzled her face into her knees Jiraiya sat up next to her, staring intently with a cocky grin plastered on his face. "You see Jiraiya, I wanted you to live…so that you could be with me-" Tsunade was cut off by Jiraiya's kiss.
"You have no idea how long I have been waiting for you to say that!" he laughed, "that is love, you dope"
"What?" murmured Tsunade looking back at him.
"I wanted you to live…so that you could be with me! That's love!" He smiled "that's how I feel about you too!" After kissing her again, they both got dressed, then he picked her up and headed to her house.
