Naruto's Apartment, a week later.
Naruto was just stepping out of his shower, thoughts on a new puzzle. 'Yamanaka Ino, fan girl or more?' Was the topic of the day. And the day before that and the day before that, hence the reason why this mornings shower was very, very cold.(1)
He got dressed, this time in black shinobi pants with navy stripes, and a midnight blue hoody over a black tank top(2) and after grabbing some beef jerky he headed out the door toward the academy his mind on many things... all attached to one girl. As he walked he reached into his hoodie and flipped out a small book with a black book sleeve over its well known orange cover.(3)
a few minutes later, the academy.
Naruto slid the door open and stepped into the room, eyes still on his book as he walked up to a seat, dodging outstretched legs and spitballs from certain individuals who were so close minded their head was up a chickens arse instead of their own. He ended up in the last row, which because of how many desks were already in the room was one of the few two seated desks in the room, the other chair was un occupied.
As Naruto kicked his chair back on two legs and continued to read, he felt someone sit next to him. He glanced over and was surprised to see the very one plaguing his mind sitting their pretending she didn't notice him. Naruto ignored her for the most part, for now. However his eye strayed to her more often than his pages.
About ten minutes later.
Iruka and Mizuki walked into the classroom and Iruka cleared his through to begin his lecture straight off, gaping at the fact that Naruto was reading.
Naruto glanced down, and much like another reader of Jiraiya's works, he drawled out "What? Something on my face?" and Mizuki face faulted while Iruka got a hold of himself and just jumped into his lecture for sanity's sake.
After the academy bell rang.
Naruto turned to her, and cleared his throat.
"Naruto before you start, I... can we talk at your place?"
Naruto wondered how she knew he had an apartment but nodded. He shushined them away.
"Ok... Naruto that kiss was a mistake..."
"Oh..." Naruto looked hurt and Ino quickly jumped in again.
"No no, its just... we don't even know eachother that well... It was a mistake for that reason alone... Maybe we can be friends, but thats it" 'he probably still hates me from how I used to treat him... he wouldnt want me.'
'she hates me still... damn.' "Well alright, friend."
she smiled a bit. "Mind if I crash on your couch? Im tired."
"You know I have a second room... bit dusty but its got a bed." he gestured and she padded away carrying her shoes. "Thanks 'ruto, it was getting late anyway."
Naruto grinned and nodded, before a thought struck him.
"Hey, did your parents know you were going to be here?"
"Nope!"
"Well I hope they aren't worried..."
elsewhere in Konoha
A tall blond man with a ponytail wearing a black trench coat and combat boots over the gray uniform of the torture and interrogation department grabbed yet another academy student by the collar and just before he could ask if he knew his daughter, he turned his head to the side and sneezed. Ignoring that he turned back to the squirming brat in his grip.
And I'm going to end it there. I said and thought 'awwwwww' so many times while writing this I needed my inhaler.
(1) Ya I guess this is kind of innuendo, and expect a lot of the aforementioned innuendo from me
(2) its not a woman's tank top, I just don't want to say wife beater in case I have a female audience member or two.
(3)A. How did Kakashi never think of a book cover
B. No, Naruto will not be a super pervert or anything but he wont have a non existent sex drive either, hes a teenage boy and speaking as a fifteen year old, cannon Naruto must have been alone a lot more than they show him to be because I was a loner and i'm still an average dude in that regard.
(4) this is originally the end of the chapter, because I confused word count with character count and thought it was in the thousands instead of it actually being at about 930, so I extended the cute scenes a bit to at least hit the 1k mark
Well that's about it Finished at 2:35 pm April 24 2014
edited 10/17/2014 to change relationship parts
