No one could really blame them for getting carried away. It's hardly unheard of after a war, and after five years of hardship, when they finally succeeded, finally defeated all of Madara's forces…they probably weren't the only ones waking up with dim memories of revelry and in a bed they didn't…usually wake up.

After a few moments, she shifted closer on the bed and curled an arm around him—light and hesitant, watching for a sign of rejection, but he just continued to pretend to sleep. It was the closest she had to a lack of rejection or discomfort.
She pressed her forehead to his back and continued not to speak—pretending to believe he really was asleep.
It wasn't really a hug.
She wasn't really sure what else to do.
He continued to pretend to sleep.
She let him.
