A/N: This is, I believe, the shortest thing I've ever written. It's only, like, 260 words (give or take a few). But, I really like it. Hope you feel the same!
Drabble (I Think) #23
Glue
The word had been spoken so many times, that it was common knowledge between the three teenagers. Team 7 had a special bond.
A bond. The four-letter word that sparked so many emotions, feelings, and conversations. A word that not only saved Naruto, but almost got him killed. A dangerous and uplifting four-letter word.
And, although the word had been spoken so many times, it never had the same effect it had today. Today, of all days, Naruto was actually trying to comprehend the true meaning of their special word.
Sasuke and Sakura spoke candidly, in the Uchiha's living room, of how Naruto was the reason for their bond. That he held them together, brought others together. About how he somehow was able to take one persons skewed outlook on life and make it clear and positive. The boy inspired a future in a world he didn't feel he existed. And they were all amazed.
Amazed, most of all, by the way one boy, housing a fox demon, could spark so undeniable good inside of everyone.
They spoke all of this, of course, thinking Naruto would just stare at them, laugh nervously, and rub the back of his neck as he always did when they talked about him like he wasn't there.
Except this time. No, this time Naruto decided to listen in. To actually try to figure out what the two smarter teens were really saying about him. And he came to the only logical conclusion for someone like Naruto.
"So…um…you're saying I'm like glue?"
I was going to lengthen it, but I loved it so much just the way it was... hope you agree!
