“More ramen?” Tobi deadpanned, staring at Ichiraku’s ramen stand. “Are you seriously telling me…?”
“Why are you complaining?!” Naruto exclaimed, grabbing the Senju’s hand and pulling him inside. He forced Tobirama to sit -- literally. “Ichiraku ramen is the best!”
“It’s just that we’ve had ramen every night for the last week.” Tobirama explained softly. “Don't you eat anything other than ramen?”
Naruto chuckled and shook his head. “Nope! Why would I?!”
Tobirama smiled at Naruto. “It’s okay. I don't mind. Whatever you want us to have for dinner.”
Naruto hugged the Senju tightly before ordering them both their bowls of ramen. Things were silent for a while as they ate. Naruto had learnt that Tobirama was a rather quiet man, but that didn't stop Naruto from talking to him non-stop.
Tobirama didn't eat much. He had finished half of his first bowl when Naruto was on his eighth bowl of ramen. The Senju was patient and waited for Naruto to finish before walking home with him.
While Naruto had gone straight to sleep, Tobirama lay awake on the couch for a few hours longer, thinking. This was… not bad. Sure, he missed his brother, but Naruto was actually rather fun to be around.
With his thoughts full of Naruto, Tobirama closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
--LINEBREAK--
“What’cha readin’?”
Tobirama looked up from his book the next day at the ramen stand. He smiled at Naruto. “It’s just a really old book that was around when I was your age.”
“You like it?” Naruto unconsciously inched closer to the Senju.
“Well, I’m reading it, aren’t I?”
“Oh, I guess you are.” Naruto chuckled and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
It was quiet once again. Tobirama had returned back to his book and Naruto was slurping his noodles happily, but their peace wasn’t going to last long.
“Naruto, I knew you’d be here.”
Both Tobirama and Naruto looked behind them at a familiar voice. Well, familiar for Naruto. Tobirama had never heard it before, and it caused shivers to run up the Senju’s spine. Something about that voice rubbed him the wrong way.
“Pervy Sage!” Naruto cried excitedly. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to bring you along with me on a mission.” Jiraiya chuckled.
“Eh?” Naruto looked suspicious. “What kind of mission? Are you just going to be a perve again?”
“No, we’re going to go and look for a real pretty woman!” Jiraiya explained, almost as if he expected Naruto to jump to his feet and demand to leave on the ‘mission’ immediately if he knew about this.
Tobirama narrowed his eyes at the older man, reaching out and placing a protective hand on Naruto’s shoulder. “Who exactly are you?”
“You don't know me?” Jiraiya looked shocked. “Well, then again… You are the Second Lord Hokage… I’m Jiraiya, the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku.”
“What business do you have with my Naruto?” Tobirama couldn’t stop the possessiveness in his voice, and he knew that it was going to raise questions – but he could’ve cared less.
“Your Naruto…?” Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.
“That’s right.” Tobirama stood up, standing in front of Naruto protectively. “He’s mine.”
Naruto tilted his head, oblivious to the danger in Tobirama’s voice. All he knew was that Tobirama just wanted to protect him. For that, he was grateful.
“It’s okay, Tobi.” Naruto smiled. “Pervy Sage may be pervy, but he wouldn’t hurt me -- he’s the one who taught me my Summoning Jutsu!”
Tobirama nodded, but his eyes still lingered mistrustingly on Jiraiya as said man sat down beside the Uzumaki.
“I have a real neat Jutsu that I can teach you if you’ll come.” He grinned. “It’s way cooler than the Chidori.”
Before Tobirama knew it, Naruto was halfway down the road, dragging the Senju back to his apartment, screaming over his shoulder that he was going to pack.
--LINEBREAK--
The next night was an interesting one. They were too far from the nearest town, so for that night’s rest, they were camping out.
Tobirama sat against a tree, his book in his lap. He was taking advantage of the light from the setting sun. Naruto was with Jiraiya, and Tobirama couldn’t help but feel jealous. Naruto used to be all over him because of his skills as a ninja, but now that Jiraiya was baiting him with a new Jutsu, Naruto hardly paid any attention to him anymore.
Tobirama sighed and closed his book with a soft thump, slipping it into his backpack. The light for reading was just about to be gone for the night, so there wasn’t much point in reading. He glanced over at Naruto and Jiraiya, hurt to see the two having a great laugh about something. Tobirama grit his teeth, glaring at the Sage.
Yes, he was jealous. He could admit that much. He wanted to keep Naruto for himself, and not share him with anyone else. He felt so left out. Naruto was with that disgusting pervert while Tobirama was left to his own devices.
“Stupid pervert.” Tobirama muttered, getting to his feet and lifting his pack up. He slung it over his shoulder and called out to Naruto. “Naruto, I need to take a walk.”
“Okay!” Naruto called back, not even bothering to look at the Senju.
Tobirama frowned. He felt so hurt but he wasn’t going to acknowledge it. He stomped away from the small camp, walking deep into the forest. He found a stream not long later and he sat down beside it, his face in his hands.
What was the point of this life if the only person he knew and liked was more interested in someone else? Why couldn’t he have just been left alone? He missed his brother so much already, and now that he was feeling lonely, the pain only grew. He was well aware that back in his own time -- despite his brother being killed in battle -- yes, he had been so upset and lonely, but back then he had people who loved him.
Now, he only had Naruto.
What was the point of this? Tobirama didn't know.
Back with Naruto, he was barely aware that Tobirama had been gone for hours. He was still messing around with Jiraiya, and he had absolutely no idea of how lonely the Senju was feeling right now.
“Where’s the Senju?” Jiraiya said after they stopped training for a water break.
Naruto pointed out to the forest. “He said he wanted to take a walk.”
Jiraiya frowned. He could tell how left out Tobirama was feeling. He felt bad for taking Naruto away from the Nidaime, but he had to train this kid before the Akatsuki could get to him. He was well-aware of how Tobirama could do just as good a job – in fact, he could probably do a lot better than Jiraiya – but Jiraiya felt like it was his responsibility to do this. He wouldn’t mind sharing Naruto with Tobirama, but Tobirama seemed like a possessive person and not only would that make things harder, but with two people teaching him different things, it would probably only result in the other undoing the other’s work.
“Maybe we should call it quits for tonight, Naruto.” Jiraiya said, walking back down to where their packs were. “I think that Tobi is feeling lonely. Maybe you should spend some time with him.”
Naruto looked horrified. “Lonely! Oh, I feel terrible! Pervy sage, I swear I didn't mean to make him feel like that! I-I just got so caught up in this new Jutsu, and – I… I feel terrible…”
“It’s not the end of the world, Naruto.” Jiraiya said. “Just do something with him tonight before bed so he knows that you haven’t forgotten about him. Besides, I don't think he’d hold it against you -- I think he really likes you, Naruto.”
Back with Tobirama, said Senju was just about to return to the small campsite when he happened to overhear Naruto and Jiraiya’s conversation. Naruto felt bad? And didn't realise what he was doing?
Tobirama sighed in relief and wiped at his damp eyes. Just as long as Naruto tried to spend some time with him was fine – Tobirama loved that kid. The Senju quickly returned back to the Uzumaki’s side.
“Hey…” Tobirama said softly, sitting down beside Naruto. “Miss me?”
Naruto nodded and dived onto Tobirama, hugging him tightly. “Tobi, I’m so sorry! I didn't mean to make you feel lonely! I swear! I’ll try and fix it!”
“Naruto, it’s fine.” Tobirama said softly, returning the hug. “Don't worry about it.”
“I… I know what it’s like to be lonely…” Naruto said sadly. “…I don't want you to feel like that…”
“I don't,” Tobirama reassured, smiling. “Just as long as I know that you care about me is all I need.”
Naruto nodded, hugging Tobirama tighter before letting go of him. “I’m sorry, Tobi… Wanna train with us tomorrow?”
Tobirama smiled. “That would be good. Go to sleep, Naruto.”
Naruto nodded and laid his head on Tobi’s lap, not even bothering to put on some pyjamas. Tobirama rubbed the Uzumaki’s head gently as said boy drifted off to sleep, and it didn't take long for the Senju to follow him into dreamland.
