A/N: I've taken a small hiatus from updating ^.^ Lotsa stuff have been happening and I've been watching Soul Eater. Expect some Stein/Marie soon :3

Again, any prompts are welcome. Thanks for staying along

Prompt #13: Smile

Tsunade doesn't smile often.

She is tired most of the time, sitting in bed and watching as the village is rebuilt brick by brick upon layers of love and heart.

This doesn't make her smile. Her mind is groggy and her body taxed. She cannot feel the hope that radiates from Konoha like shy children just emerging from behind their parents.

That is, until little Mae and little Ren are placed together next to her and she sees them reach for each other, almost blindly. It makes her crack something like a smile.

She's been a secret sucker for love, in all its shapes and forms.
