Thank you guys for all the love! :D I know I just updated, but here's a little drabbley thing that wouldn't leave me alone. Hope you enjoy!
I don't own Naruto. If I did, it would be a cracky, angsty mess.
He watched, silently, as she mulled over the fruit selection.
She wore a simple yellow yutaka, the color bringing out the rosy hue of her short hair.
The length suited her, he mused. It framed her face, bringing attention to her bright green eyes and the forehead she had long since grown into. It was a far cry from their genin days.
He watched as a little boy, no older than five, ran up to her, a piece of candy in his hand. Her attention was instantly on the boy, her eyes softening as she lovingly kissed the top of his silver head.
He watched as she took the hand of the boy that would have been his son.
"Tou-san," a small voice peeped, and he turned to look upon his oldest, Shuichi. "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing," he murmured, taking his son by the hand and leading the way. "Nothing at all."
She watched, silently, as he browsed the merchant's selection of weapons.
He had on the standard green vest most chuunin and jounin wore, a navy blue shirt underneath. His hair was longer than when they were growing up, but shorter than when he was finally brought home.
It suited him, she mused. It was a far cry from their genin days.
Her gaze shifted to the little boy beside him, no older than four. He had married a civilian woman, one who didn't care that he would never love her—because she shared the same sentiment, and only wanted his name. The little boy, with his dark hair and dark eyes, looked just like his father.
He would have been her son.
She looked away, intently studying the fruit in front of her instead.
"Kaa-chan!" a little voice called happily.
She turned, instantly gratified seeing her little boy run to her, candy in hand.
She wouldn't have it any other way.
"Where did you get that?" she asked, kissing the top of his head.
"Ino-ba-chan gave it to me!" he replied excitedly, putting his hand on her relatively flat belly. "Can the baby eat candy?"
"Not yet, Obito-kun," she laughed, taking his hand in hers. "Not yet."
A/N: Let me know. ;)
