I LOVE YOU

Author's Notes: The song referenced in this chapter is Jai Ho, the Indian version, from the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Go listen to it, and you'll see :) Hope you like this one, Naruto's POV!
I don't know for sure how it is for you, but I notice that for me it is the small things that make me smile the most.
(And doesn't it make sense? Since I've lived for such a long time without a hand on my shoulder to comfort me, a nice word on my ear to motivate me, without a hug throughout my whole body to cheer me up, now every gesture you give me, even the smallest, spreads happiness over me like a burst of light spreads all over a completely dark room.)
Small things, and maybe without much meaning, if I really think about it, things that are even a bit silly, tacky or sappy, but it's those small things, those small gifts from an uncertain destiny that give me one more reason to love you and call you my own, and to give myself to you completely, that make me see that all universe really approves of this connection that has grown between us.
It's, for example, when we are at your place in front of the stereo and that song begins, cheerful, warm and rhythmic, and, while we dance together in time with it, trying to come up with new moves to shine at the next ANBU party, all of a sudden I hear your name in another exotic language and I look at you, and just your name in a song reminds me that my world is perfect now, now that your name exists and someone remembered to use it in a song...
I stop dancing just to hold you against me and feel you, may the owner of this name claim me for himself and for ever, that would be my greatest joy!
Later you tell me that actually the singer did not say your name, he said a very similar word, but actually that word can be funnily translated to the black kohl around the eyes and some black seductive magic associated with it, and that makes me equally happy, even though it did not change a thing...
To me, the song is about you, your beauty and how my world is so much better ever since I forced you inside it. It's an invitation for you to celebrate with me what we have every day, and the black magic of the black (even if fake) kohl around your eyes is welcome as well...
It's probably silly because it's just a word in a song, the smallest thing that makes no sense at all...
But it makes me so happy to know that even in the silliest things we are perfect together, and the magnificent smile that paints those delectable lips of yours now makes me know that you agree completely with me...
My god, so cheesy!!
nothing else to say...
