#I have my old Naruto stuff

[vazaha-tya]

I'm wondering if i should create a multi-fandom dump fic for all of the WIPs I started and never finished. I have a lot of random stuff and it might stop me from getting invested in projects without being sure I'll go through with them. Feedback is always nice too. Thoughts?

[tora-the-cat]

An interesting little fun thing with team 7 is that you assume that Sakura's gonna, like, woobify and simplify Sasuke by putting him on a pedastal,cause her goal is centered around him and shes a 12 y/o fangirl so like of course her understanding of him is skewed cause she doesnt see him as a person, just an object of affection, right? She's can't get Sasuke, can't imprint on and/or traumabond with him like Naruto and Kakashi do. They don't see him with rose tinted glasses, because they've lived through their own Horrors and empathize with Sasuke's experience.

......right?

WRONG lmao!! They have too many ghosts!! Naruto's single-minded codependent ass won't get out of his own way long enough to see Sasuke for who he actually is, only able to empathize with the parts of his trauma Naruto relates to and not really capable of understanding him outside of the context of himself (because Sasuke is. His other half). And Kakashi is far too jaded to be fair to him!! He can't decide if Sasuke is gonna end up as a mini-him or a mini-Obito or maybe a mini-Itachi, but either way he ALSO is too traumatized to see Sasuke AS SASUKE.

meanehile SAKURA'S autistic ass may have dogshit empathy, but you know what she does have? A special interest in sasuke. Nothing better to do then give herself a degree in Uchihaisms. She can write character studies about him. she can read his soul. Whenever she says something about him she is right. Every fucking time! She is RIGHT!!!!

'sasuke would NOT compliment me this directly or explicitly express worry unprompted, especially if it gets in the way of his goals' correct.

'Sasuke shouldn't hide that curse on his neck its not healthy BUT if I tell anyone about it he'll never trust me again, which might be even more dangerous for him then the curse mark. Like he can probably handle the curse mark but no one else can stop him from ripping peoples arms off.' correct.

Speaking of! 'Sasuke would not hurt me even when he seems to be...possessed? whatever the only way to knock him out of it is to present myself as Alive and thus something to be protected rather then something to be avenged, because he gets really stuck in his own head about revenge' CORRECT

'hey so um. like. Sasuke's gonna leave Konoha. I'm not sure anything can stop him at this point and honestly I'm kinda starting to doubt anything should, so the only thing I could possibly do to help him at this point is ALSO defect.' CORRECT!!!!

well, after a little break, we picked up our naruto rewatch again with the beginning of season 10 (it’s so good.  SO GOOD), and since all i want to do is sit here and talk about how good it is, i figured i’d try to do that while simultaneously catching up on some overdue fandom correspondence.

when i was watching last night, i kept thinking back to a conversation i'd been having with @professor-of-naruto after they sent me an ask about how naruto started off as an ensemble show and then became solely “the naruto show,” and i STILL owe them a full response about that, but i’m going to consider this post my attempt to talk a little about it, because season 10 is simultaneously one of the best examples of “ensemble show” that naruto ever pulls off AND the scene of one of the most frustrating crimes of “the naruto show” that it ever commits (in my opinion; your mileage may vary).  

but before it reaches that frustrating point - season 10 is unbelievably well-constructed!  EVERYBODY is doing something important and relevant to their character arcs, and the plot is moving fast, and the world is expanding in fascinating ways:

first of all, there’s the fact that the season starts off with young ninja from a totally different village, all of whom are deeply concerned about their missing teacher, and then shows us their confrontation with team 7 and later naruto himself - instantly expanding the world and humanizing the leaf’s [former] enemies and forcing the audience to widen their perspective and confront the idea that ‘hang on, people in other villages are just like people in the leaf; they care about their friends and families and comrades the same way; and HMM, what sasuke did to bee was really bad actually; is it fair to expect other nations to just sit around and accept it; would we expect one of our favorite characters from the leaf to do the same”

the political tension created in the first episode by tsunade’s absence and danzo being named hokage creates a compelling new dynamic where the leaf is being “led” (ruled) by someone who doesn’t have the confidence of the people or the support of the jonin assembly, which then forces kakashi to start making hokage-level decisions covertly (aka taking down the foundation agents sent to spy on naruto, openly instructing a subordinate to lie to the hokage, smuggling the nine-tails out of the village, engaging in diplomatic relations with a foreign kage), which dynamic continues to escalate when danzo loses the trust of the other kage and said other kage decide that kakashi should act as the leaf’s representative, which later, despite tsunade’s recovery, is a dynamic that continues to push and and foreshadow throughout the war to the eventual conclusion of kakashi actually becoming hokage at the end of the story.

SAI’S ARC.  how he witnesses naruto taking that beating from karui; how the editing later cuts from naruto crying at the raikage’s feet to sai sitting in the forest thinking about naruto telling him to “stay out of this,” and his decision of “no.  i can’t just sit still, either,” and how he then goes straight to sakura to tell her that he still doesn’t know team 7 all that well and he’s not very good with emotions, but he does know that that naruto’s been suffering, and that they’ve all been relying on naruto too much, and that he doesn’t know what promise naruto made to her, but “it’s really no different than what was done to me.  it’s like a curse mark.” how he tells her that he doesn’t think it’s right that sasuke has caused naruto and sakura so much suffering, and he’s not going to sit silently by and let it continue -

and how that then PERFECTLY intertwines with the konoha 12 discussing the situation, and shikamaru - newly matured shikamaru, shikamaru who took down an akatsuki member, shikamaru who lost asuma, shikamaru who used to be so lazy, shikamaru who used to be so allergic to responsibility - entering the tent and agreeing with sai and saying that they’re not kids anymore.  they have to act.  they can’t let sasuke start a war between nations...so many people will die...him asking for sakura’s consent - 

and how THAT perfectly dovetails into sakura’s arc - her ENORMOUS decision, which none of them are even aware of yet - when she says she wants to be the one to tell naruto that they’ve decided they can’t protect sasuke anymore, but what she’s really decided is that SHE IS GOING TO KILL SASUKE HERSELF, because she’s the one who put naruto in this position by asking him to promise to bring sasuke back, and she can’t stand to make him suffer anymore, so she’s going to take the burden off his shoulders and suffer herself instead -

and MEANWHILE

this is happening against the backdrop of naruto’s petition to the raikage, which is a) the set-up for the raikage’s eventually decision to let naruto join the war many seasons later, b) the set-up for the raikage voicing his support for kakashi as hokage after danzo flees the summit, and c) the visual parallel for us between sai and sakura discussing naruto’s suffering and us simultaneously seeing him down on his knees, crying in the snow

and THIS is all happening against the larger backdrop of the five kage summit, where we’re introduced to MORE characters from an even WIDER world, and each kage and their attendants have their own unique personalities and we’re once again thrust into this new perspective of being asked to humanize and care about previously unknown entities who have always been considered potential antagonists, if not outright enemies

and the five kage summit brings back gaara and our old friends from the sand, which is important not just for the way it highlights the difference between new and old ways of thinking/generational changes, but because whoops, suddenly sasuke is crashing the five kage summit, and as soon as gaara hears about this, he leaves the summit room and goes to confront sasuke and tries to HELP, in his own way, which is brilliant and so effective on a storytelling level because gaara fought sasuke during the chuunin exams, and back then gaara was the one who was out of his mind with rage and pain, and now their positions are reversed, and gaara wants to save sasuke from that same fate, not just because it’s what naruto would want, but because gaara himself was saved in much the same way

but unfortunately gaara is butting up against the lowest point of sasuke’s arc, as sasuke tips over into something truly disastrous, and his descent is (magnificently!  deftly!) illustrated NOT through his behavior towards danzo (which is never depicted as unjustified) but through his behavior towards TAKA, who notice that he’s not acting like himself (suigetsu: “gee, and this is the guy who kept telling ME not kill anybody?”) and whom he then systematically, one by one, abandons, betrays, or outright sacrifices in the service of his goal, when all they’ve ever done is aid and protect him. 

in other words: the worst thing sasuke does, in this story’s eyes, isn’t breaking the law; it’s abandoning his comrades.  his lowest point in the narrative isn’t communicated to us by his rebellion against authority, but by his betrayal of his friends.  SOMEHOW THIS SOUNDS THEMATICALLY FAMILIAR -

this betrayal then flows seamlessly into new character development for the taka crew - for suigetsu and juugo, whom sasuke abandons to die or rot in prison, and for karin, who finally sees firsthand that sasuke is using her and that he doesn’t care whether she lives or dies as long as he gets what he wants - which turn of events pushes karin into the arms of the leaf, where she’s technically a prisoner, but where she’s still healed by sakura and carried by kakashi, and where she comments internally on how everyone’s chakra, even that of her cell guards, is so warm and different from sasuke’s... (i’m frothing at the mouth here at how well all of this with taka was set up and how it just falls apart later aGUGHHHHHH)

and these are hardly the only things going on in this season - i didn’t even touch upon the way kakashi and yamato are told the truth about itachi (this was something!!!!!  it needed to be something!!!!!), or even the brief confrontation between “madara” and yamato, because when obito first pops up on naruto’s windowsill, it’s yamato who strikes first, and yamato who says “you’re in my territory now,” and obito just laughs at him, and i cannot handle how well this sets up him being captured, interrogated, and used by obito later (if the story CARED enough to CARE about it, i mean; i just - !!!)  

this is all i mean when i say that naruto is at its best when it’s an ensemble show.  all of this happens in just the first six episodes, but every single character who appears has something important going on in their own story.  everything that they do connects to something else, and every move they make affects the plot.  every time someone appears on screen, you care about what’s happening with them - because something IS happening with them!  everything is intertwined, and all of it matters.  this season is woven together so well - it’s hard to stop watching.  

that isn’t always the case later, though.  after naruto appears on the scene of the sasuke/team 7 confrontation (aka the point where the show attempts to make a “naruto is and has always been Everything” retcon that i will never forgive them for), the story starts leaning harder into the “naruto is the only one who can save sasuke and oh yeah do everything else too” message, which is eternally frustrating to me, because the original message of the story was always “teamwork is more important than anything.  all of us are necessary to succeed.”  itachi literally chides naruto, “you can’t do everything on your own.  never forget your friends,” but then the show keeps creating situations where only naruto can Do the Thing and the other characters’ sole purposes are to sit back and monologue about how amazing he is.  

i understand that this is a silly thing to complain about when the story is in fact titled “naruto,” but i do still feel frustrated about it sometimes, because i think an approach like this makes for a weaker story.  there ARE ways to tell a naruto-centric story and have it be incredible - eg, the pain arc is all-naruto, all the time, and i have zero complaints about it, because everything naruto is able to do in that arc makes sense and is completely appropriate for who he is and what his strengths are.  he should be able to use sage mode and toad summons - those are powerful inheritances from his own teaching lineage that he worked incredibly hard to master.  he should be able to resist the nine-tails transformation - he has help from his own father’s spirit, as well as a lifetime of experience living as a jinchuuriki.  and - crucially - he should be able to save the day in the end, not because he’s a super skilled ninja with godlike powers, but because he’s able to compassionately connect with nagato on a personal level and lead him back to the light.  

that is naruto’s true power.  it’s not about him being the strongest fighter, or the smartest strategist, or the most skilled shinobi in history.  his special ability is precisely what kakashi called a “remarkable gift” in season one: “[naruto] doesn’t need much time, or many words, to make friends with everyone he meets.”

that’s why i think the pain arc is an example of “naruto-centric” done right, and that’s why i love how war arc!naruto is able to befriend kurama/the other tailed beasts and use the nine-tails’ power.  those things are so, so appropriate for who he is and where his strengths lie.  but there are other points in the story where naruto is showcased for things that don’t make as much sense or haven’t been earned (as an isolated example, the six-paths magical powers stuff was too much for me) or where he’s highlighted at other characters’ expenses (what happens to all those amazing intertwining arcs of season 10 by the time we hit the end of the story?  why do so many of them falter or disappear?)

it’s not enough to make me dislike the back half of the show - i love it right up until the last episode, my frustration with the ending notwithstanding.  but i do think the shift in focus from “ensemble show” to “one-man band” becomes a bit more dramatic after S10, and the overall story after that point is much weaker than it could have been (even though i still think that a lot of what it achieves is amazing).

[tariah23]

They’re still on Twitter calling Naruto the worst mc out of the big three simply because he was having panic attacks over Sasuke and gazing up at the stars thinking about him I see.

Etho doodles in which I let my inner dinosaur nerd take over 😔 and also have no idea how to shade

Get it cause he's old and washed up haha... ok but actual raptor Etho hybrid justification below cut

To be honest the main reason was because I really wanted a hybrid in the mix who wasn't some furry creature and a reptile or amphibian or smth instead. Etho still ended up feathered but whatever it's close enough! But for ACTUAL reasoning:

He does feel damn ancient, like an old deity of the mcyt space that no one can dislike. Dinosaurs are the same!! They're old but still thought of with great fascination and fondness, everyone loves dinosaurs...

Dinosaurs are ever so mysterious, as many advancements as we make there's still so much we don't know. Just as we know jackshit about mister Kakashi skin man. Also, there are so many incomplete skeletons out there. I didn't have a particular species in mind for Etho, because where's the mystery in that? He can be one of those 5% skeleton 95% speculation dinosaurs like this guy!! Missing jaw and all

"I'm a runner, not a protector" - so, a raptor, or more specifically the Dromaeosauridae family, which literally has "running/runner" in its name

But! I'm always a fan of stuff going against its nature, especially in this case! Etho states he's not a runner yet protects his allies rather fiercely even in total silence. Eg refusing to kill Cleo in SL or to give away Tango's location during the LimL manhunt, same for Grian in SL. He was a bit flaky in 3L I think? And he only started to have genuine care for allies in LL with Bdubs? Though he is still very much a runner in many cases like during the LL Wither fight. Research also strongly suggests that most if not all raptors were solitary hunters, and the way I see Etho (through my shamefully limited watchtime of his POVs...) he feels a lot like someone who ultimately only trusts himself at the start even if he's pleasant and allying with others, and doesn't seem to think he can carry his weight in groups though he doesn't voice this a lot. That's just how Etho is, very composed, but it feels like there's an insecurity there, showcased especially in SL but again I haven't seen almost any of his POVs in full so maybe I'm talking out of my ass!! Sorry ethogirls I'm only a sidegig ethogirl myself... But yeah tldr to me he gives off the vibe of an otherwise solitary animal struggling to find 100% sure footing in a pack. In whichever ways he does go against his nature, its not usually made a show of

At the mention of a raptor, a lot of people will probably think of the glamourized Jurassic Park Velociraptors. But those awesome guys from the movies are actually the size of chickens. In general though, dinosaurs tend to be a bit.. exaggerated in media, despite how inherently fascinating they already are. And I think it fits Etho because we all know how the Lifers seem to fear and mancrush on him when he's just some dork with perfect capability to become pathetic at a moment's notice. Still, he's a clearly skilled player and still respected without question Etho's not some killer machine like some people make dinosaurs out to be. He's just a fellow creature fulfilling his role in the ecosystem 👍

dinosaurs are cool

The hook-like sickle claws on the feet... something something fishing rod

I swear I'm not turning all my Lifers into hybrids I'm not!! Still plenty normal humans in the mix I swear....... But Etho is such a radical dude, I really wanted to do something more for him. The whole Kitsune thing that I often see associated with him is really cool. I don't actually know the reasoning for it but I assume something something naruto, but also, him being this ancient mythical cryptid who people know so little about, you know? It makes SO much sense. So anyway I turned him into a dinosaur instead rawr

As a herbivore advocate I also considered stuff like the triceratops (known for how they protect themselves and their own) but nah the raptor symbolism...

Modern College Student/BF Eren Yeager Headcanons

Armin version: HERE

Changed his major so. many. times.

Tried premed bc of his dad but then realized he had to take a lot of math and was like “lol no”

Was a business major for a bit but he didn’t have enough tact or strategy so dropped that pretty quick

Philosophy was next but he has such black and white way of thinking, he always got into arguments with the professors

Ethics was ruled out after like a week bc of…well, obvious reasons

Joined Armin’s major for like a month but it took so much studying and memory that he quit

Tried psych with Mikasa but yeah every teacher kept telling him to go to therapy??? And he was like “no thank you.”

Eventually i think he will land in something like sport communication or management, bc the competition really gets him fired up and he’s only good at something if he’s passionate about it

also feel like he’d be a college athlete with some scholarships so yeah, it makes sense

Not a great student tbh

Type of bitch to say “c’s get degrees.”

Really its only his public speaking skills that are keeping his grade afloat bc his presentations are sooo hype and get the class all inspired n shit

His essays and quizzes tho? Yeah, not so good

Bad at attending classes too, for sure will be like “srry my grandma died.”

And the teacher is just like “you’ve used that excuse already?twice??"

And hes just like “ugh fine you got me, I was tired and hungover”

Def tried to join a frat but Armin and Mikasa threatened to not be friends with him 

Still hangs with the frat boys a lot and is always partying with them

Pregames wayyy too hard tho, wasted before the party even starts

Unironically dances to lmfao and pitbull at college parties like “party rockers” is his fucking jam

Casual pothead, has a bong he def like nicknamed the “titan” cuz it’s so fucking huge

Will share his stash with you but like next time you got alc or bud just know he’s hitting that shit

High Eren is just really philosophical about freedom but with the munchies

Diet consists of instant ramen, mcdonalds and box mac n cheese, probably alot of redulls too

Thank god he’s athletic w a high metabolism 

Is fucking rocking the man bun and will fight you if you say otherwise

Games often with Jean, Conny and Sasha

Rage quits all the time and yes, Jean has recorded most of them for blackmail

Still uses snapchat streaks and will be so salty if one of his friends broke it

“You know nothing of loyalty. It’s one snap a day! How fucking hard was that?”  

Smells like irish spring body wash, old spice deodorant and weed

Also mint? I feel like he’s always chewing gum

One of those smokers who think he can just splash cold water on his face and chew on some gum and it wouldn’t be obvious that he’s high af

Carmex lip balm is the only slightly self care item he owns

Really into anime, loves the boss fights

I feel like he’d really like Naruto, Demon Slayer, Bnha or jojo’s bizarre adventure

You know anything with a lot of fights or training 

Ppl say he’d like Deathnote bc light but honestly I think he would get lost with all the twists and be like “why tf aren’t ppl just punching each other???”

Loves rap if he’s feeling good or screamo if he’s angry, like there's no in between lmao 

For sure listens to his music way too loud even with air pods

“Max volume isn’t enough, I wanna fuck the song” type of dude

I feel like him and Conny at one point prob tried to make a youtube channel where they like react to stuff 

Jean is the top commenter…..too bad it’s hate comments lol

Is one of those guys who has such a high body temp that even if it’s like december and snowing out, he’s still in basketball shorts and a short sleeve shirt 

Progressive bc Armin taught him how sex doesn’t equal gender, and pronouns are to be respected

Still a dick tho

“He’s such a fucking- wait hold up what are your pronouns?  They? K cool was just gonna talk shit about you but wanted to be respectful about it, thanks.”  goes back to his other conversation like, “They are such a fucking worthless cunt.”

As your bf

Probably met off tinder or something bc he is just a fuckboy looking to get his dick wet

But after fucking he just keeps hanging out with you? Or like if u get ur period or don't feel like sex he’s like, “it’s okay we can just watch a movie or something😀”

So ur not quite sure if you guys are fuckbuddies or not?

It becomes kinda obvious tho if he like ever sees you with another guy and gets all up in his face like “wtf are u doing with my girl/boy?”

U guys don’t have a clear anniversary bc he never asked u to be his, it was just kinda silently agreed upon?

Clingy lil bitch after sex like will follow u to the bathroom if u let him

Needs to shower with you, otherwise you both aint showering cuz he will turn off the water 

“Now we both stinky, bitch.”

Gives me the vibe of a guy who learned sex stuff thru porn

He goes really hard, fast and will put you in crazy positions

If u have a vagina you prob will have to like teach him about clit stimulation and literally take his hand and lead it there, he’s a fast learner though 

Will pull your hair but if you dare pull his?

He'll flip you over and spank you 

Wants sooo bad to be called daddy, up to you though if u wanna call him that but you can tell he tries to lead you to say it sometimes

Not really controlling or anything, actually loves an independent partner who has their own goals 

Is insanely jealous though, the only time he’s all up on you is if he thinks another guy is trying to get on you

If you fight tbh I think Eren can be a lil brat but I think he always has a time limit 

Like..he’s the type of guy that has about three days in him of being an asshole or being in silent treatment mode before he just breaks and knocks on your door begging for forgiveness

A little toxic but again, more so about others than actually controlling you

The type to start a fight in your insta comments if anyone other than him or your besties call you hot

Will try to be cool and say “wear whatever you want, I can fight”

And he will but like will he also cry later? Yes. 

Dates with him aren’t really dates? I think his love language is quality time so he’s the type to just try to hang out and make everything a lil “date”

Lots of late night car rides where you guys just talk and share songs (also car sex if ur up to it), lazy days where you two watch movies and cuddle in bed, also I think he’s the type of bf to try to tag along with you everywhere you go and offer to get you food afterwards

Only for like birthdays or anniversaires will he try to take you out for a fancy dinner, even then you might have to drop hints that you want a nice date bc honestly he’s totally okay getting mdconalds with you and pigging out

Overall he’s kinda a scary dog privellage as a boyfriend

Whose mainly all bark and no bite

(mostly)

Fav nicknames: Babe, babygir/babyboy, sexy, shortie 

Songs that fit the vibe: 505 by Arctic Monkeys, Cherry Waves by Deftones, Daddy Issues by the Neighbourhood

“I’d probably still adore you wth your hands around my neck”

“I’ll swim down with you, is that what you want?” 

“I tell you that I’m thinking about, whatever you’re thinking about”

[notsorryiml8]

From my friend, she finished Naruto and is reading the books and starting Boruto and who adores Kakashi:

“It makes sense that Konoha developed and all that after the war. They have cell phones, MacBooks, video games, trains, burgers, nightclubs/bars, nightlife, big city stuff. I’m like wait that sounds familiar and it dawned on me. What’d y’all expect? You done gave a 30 (okay 31-32) year old bored young single guy the keys to the city?! Konoha became one big bachelor pad.”

And I said she’s not wrong 😂

“I don’t know what you're talking about Lewis I don’t have sexual tension with Kimi” you scoffed walking into the Mercedes motorhome.

“Are you sure about that?” Lewis questioned, raising an eyebrow.

“Positive”

“I don’t believe you. Y/n you can lie to yourself but you can’t lie to me you and Kimi have sexual tension”

“I would rather jump off a bridge into oncoming traffic than admit that we have sexual tension so can we drop this conversation” you said.

“Ok consider this conversation dropped” Lewis giggles putting his hands up in defense walking away.

You lost track of how many times he’s tried to have this conversation with you and it was getting old. Little did you know that Kimi was having this same conversation with Sebastian over in the Ferrari motorhome.

“Sebastian for the love of Christ, stop talking” Kimi groaned.

“Just admit it” Sebastian says with a smile looking at his friend

“No i won’t admit it because there isn’t anything to admit” Kimi says

“I beg to differ. You look at her like she’s everything you want” Sebastian says.

“What do you mean I look at them like they’re everything I could ever want? I call bullshit!” Kimi defends.

“No my friend I call bullshit” Sebastian replied.

“You're insane and I’m done with this conversation” Kimi says walking into his room slamming the door closed.

You sighed in frustration as you sat on your bed running your hand up and down your face, and you just sighed, Lewis was a good friend but his insistence that you and Kimi had feelings for each other got old really quickly. If only he didn’t know you so well you could lie to him but if you did that he’d think something was up.

You hear a knock on the door, it was probably Lewis but you didn’t have the strength to deal with him right now, you just yelled “I’m not home go away”.

The knocking stopped and you relaxed, you finally got some alone time, you just wanted to lay down and close your eyes and just let the stress fade away but as you lay down you can’t help but feel like you’re not alone.

The sound of heels made you sit up straight and you looked across the room to see Lewis hovering over your bed. You let out a frustrated sigh and Lewis just smiled.

“You can’t keep ignoring the situation between you and Kimi.”

“Yes I can watch me” you said

“It’s pointless Y/N I know you and Kimi have felt something between each other. It’s like watching Romeo and Juliet for Christ sake. Kimi is like a rose and you are like his thorn and it’s making him go bald but when you’re together you are perfect you are the sun to his sky the night to his day. The yin to his Yang. You two are perfect.”

Lewis says, staring at you longingly.

“Three things Lewis number One you're a hopeless romantic. Number Two He’s more like a thorn in my backside number three Lewis what’s your point?”

“Well maybe you didn’t catch on but my point is that you both like each other you just won’t admit it because you're afraid of being vulnerable and you think that if you date him you’re going to end up getting hurt and let's be real you definitely would you would fight and he’d get mad and you guys would scream at each other and it would be a disaster but you are just so attracted to him that you can't even see that.”

“My point is you two are in love and it's cute”

“Lewis, it's not cute. It's annoying.”

“No you're lying Y/N”

“I'm not lying”

"How do you know I’m attracted to him?” you ask, crossing your arms.

“Because I can see that chemistry, and as much as you try to deny it, that spark between you two is undeniable.”

You sighed thinking of the countless times you and Kimi had flirted back and forth, and it was undeniable that there was a spark you were drawn to him like a moth to a flame.

“I’ll admit he’s attractive and he’s funny when he stops being so damn reserved but that doesn’t mean we’d ever work.”

You both had different personalities and it was a recipe for disaster, your explosive temperament and his stubborn reserved attitude, you’d definitely spend more time fighting than doing anything else so it was probably for the best you both didn’t act on it but that attraction was so much stronger than either of you could handle.

Lewis knew you better than anyone. You and Kimi really were like oil and water, completely opposite but there was a reason people said opposites attract.

Maybe Lewis was right maybe you did have real feelings for Kimi but you could never admit it to him or even yourself you are scared that what if you did start dating Kimi and you guys fought and it ended with you getting your heart broken what if it was just easier and safer to pretend that you didn’t have those feelings at all.

“I’m and explosive hothead Lewis I love to fight and argue it won’t work so for the last time can we drop it” you said wanting to be done with this conversation

“You’re self sabotaging and that’s very unhealthy” Lewis said shaking his head.

“Look Lewis even if I had feelings for Kimi I would never admit it and you can't make me so can you please just drop the subject because I'm tired of talking about it.”

you said, crossing your arms looking away from him.

“It’s like talking to a wall with you sometimes y/n, I’m just trying to help you,” Lewis said, rolling his eyes.

“You call this trying to help me? you’re trying to shove these feelings down my throat I don’t need a stupid therapist all I need is you to drop the goddamn discussion!”

You were getting annoyed but a little part of you was enjoying this back and forth. Lewis knew you so well that you never needed to tell him how you felt it was easy to have a casual friendship with him but also you could open up to him about personal things.

“Oh I’m sorry for trying to help you understand that you are attracted to the Finn Jesus, you're as stubborn as he is. That’s why you two fight so much, because you are a hothead and he’s a goddamn rock, the two of you are impossible but you’re perfect for each other and I know you’ve thought about this before so stop fighting me on this.” Lewis exclaimed angrily.

Lewis sat on your bed, slumping his back against the headboard. “Look I know it’s not my place to say anything but if you guys just gave it a chance you two could be amazing together. You’re obviously attracted to the poor guy and you can see the way he looks at you. If one of you just took the chance and let their guard down for the other, you two would be unstoppable.”

“I’m sorry Lewis I didn’t mean to snap at you I just don’t want to get hurt” you said leaning your head against his shoulder.

Lewis wraps his arm over your shoulders pulling you closer, “you don’t have to apologize I just want what’s best for you. Just know that I’m here for you okay? I know how you two are and I can see how much you two care about each other but I think your fear of getting hurt is the only thing standing in your way.”

“Your a good friend you know that”

“I know, now are you going to admit you like Kimi?” Lewis asks

“No, no I won’t because I don’t and if I did my point would still stand” you replied jokingly.

“I know you like him Y/N. You can try to deny it all you want, but deep down you know the truth.” Lewis replied

You were about to argue back when you thought about it, if Lewis was right and you did like Kimi then what was stopping you two from trying?

Kimis pov

“Sebastian just shut up about it already, I don’t know why you care so much.” Kimi said exasperated.

The both of them were sitting in the Ferrari motorhome when Sebastian started talking about y/n and how kimi clearly like each other but Kimi being Kimi was determined not to admit it.

“You obviously like her, you can't stop talking about her and I’m tired of you ignoring the fact that you’re so attracted to her like come on man are you blind!!!” Sebastian shouted, grabbing Kimi by the shoulders and shaking him.

“Let go of me,” Kimi said, pulling away from Sebastian looking annoyed.

“You’re only so annoyed by this topic because deep down you know what I’m saying is true.” Sebastian said looking at Kimi with a smug smile.

“Just drop it,” Kimi groaned, looking at the ground with his hands in his pockets.

“No, I won’t drop it. Do you want to know what I think?” Sebastian was determined to make Kimi admit he liked y/n and it wasn’t going to stop until he heard an honest answer from Kimi.

Kimi rolled his eyes thinking about how stubborn Sebastian was and how he hated that he was so right about y/n. Of course, he would never admit he was right, that would be giving him the satisfaction he wanted which wasn’t going to happen.

“What do you think?” he replied through gritted teeth.

“I think you have a massive crush on y/n, she has you wrapped around her finger and you don’t even know it. Why do you think you’re constantly arguing with her? You secretly love all that back and forth arguing you two do, I bet it makes your heart beat so fast.” Sebastian smirked, leaning forward to see Kimi’s reaction.

“Shut up.” Kimi said looking away from Sebastian he was getting annoyed, it was like staring at your reflection in the mirror, he knew Sebastian was right. All of that tension between them was more than he wanted to admit, he was attracted to Y/N and he did like those heated arguments they were one of his favorite parts of their relationship.

He tried so hard to hide the way he felt, his ego was too big but now that Sebastian mentioned it he couldn’t stop thinking about the possibility.

“I’m not wrong though right? You have a giant crush on her. I can read you like a book man. She’s gotten into your head and you can’t get her out.” Sebastian smiled smugly watching Kimi’s face get more frustrated by the second.

Kimi tried to hide his irritation but he couldn’t stop the scowl on his face and his fists clenching in frustration.

“Look it’s not like I like her, I just enjoy that we can have a good fight. It's not romantic in any way.”

Kimi’s defense was getting weaker by the second and he knew it, but he hated that he was falling right into Sebastian’s trap.

Sebastian watched Kimi’s body language, he knew he had gotten to him.

“It’s totally romantic and you know it I’m not stupid I can see how much you look at her when she isn’t looking. You literally can’t keep your eyes off her, hell even when you guys are arguing and you're looking right at her it’s like all the other noise just fades out.”

Kimi hated how much Sebastian read him like an open book.

“Look, just because I can’t keep my eyes off her doesn’t mean I like her, it means I find her attractive and she annoys me” Kimi argued.

His scowl deepens as he tries and fails to keep his eyes off of Sebastian’s satisfied smirk

“See there’s that scowl that pops up when this conversation comes up. You can’t keep denying it Kimi, the two of you are meant to be together.”

Kimi hated how much Sebastian was right about this. His face was hot and his heart was beating a mile a minute as he sat there listening to Sebastian talk.

“No we are not meant to be together, we are way too toxic for each other. We couldn’t last a day without fighting.”

Kimi hated how he couldn’t keep his tone neutral and non dismissive.

“And isn’t that the point? I think the reason you fight so much is because you both can’t stand to be around each other yet can’t stay away either. You two have the most backwards of connections and maybe if you just let your wall down for once you two would make a perfect couple.”

Lewis wraps his arm over your shoulders pulling you closer, “you don’t have to apologize I just want what’s best for you. Just know that I’m here for you okay? I know how you two are and I can see how much you two care about each other but I think your fear of getting hurt is the only thing standing in your way.”

nd to this one-sided feud.” He paused waiting for Kimi’s reply.

Kimi was silent because deep down he knew that everything Sebastian was saying was true. He couldn’t deny it anymore he finally said it out loud he did have feelings for Y/N. Sebastian smiled victoriously, having won his argument.

“I can see by your face that I’m right so just admit it you have feelings for her.” Sebastian nodded his head in encouragement.

“I don’t have feelings for her so please leave” Kimi says

“You’re lying to yourself and you know it, just admit that you like her. It's okay to admit it, no one's going to judge you for it.”

Sebastian says, placing a hand on Kimi’s shoulder.

“No I don’t have feelings for her I just, I just-“ Kimi was starting to struggle, he couldn’t finish a sentence because his mind was racing and his feelings were getting the best of him. Finally, he gave up on lying.

“Alright I like her but I still stand by what I told you that we’d be a disaster if we dated.”

“The only reason you two would be a disaster is because you are both stubborn and have hotheaded personalities, but what’s wrong with that? it’s not like dating you will be sunshine and rose petals all the time. You and her already have a unique connection, don’t you think you should at least give it a try instead of giving up before you start. A little toxicity can make a relationship interesting and exciting.” Sebastian said, raising an eyebrow.

Kimi was silent as he thought about what Sebastian was saying. He knew that he was 100% right about everything he had said so far but the idea of dating y/n made him nervous. What if it didn’t work out and they fought every day? What if they ruined their relationship? What if dating her caused them to have a huge blowout fight that ended in them never speaking again? He was afraid of the what if’s and didn’t want to risk what they already had.

Lewis and Sebastian sat together coming up with a plan to get Kimi and y/n to date. Lewis had come up with the idea using forced proximity and having Kimi and y/n share a room together and get to know each other outside of the track.

In reality it was just an excuse for them to talk and get to know each other at a slower pace without the racing aspect of their relationship clouding their judgment.

Lewis and Sebastian couldn’t stop smiling at the thought of their plan and how perfectly it was going to work. They couldn’t wait to see how Kimi and y/n reacted to being in close proximity to one another for an extended period of time.

“So what are the odds they both end up admitting their feelings for each other?” Sebastian asked excitedly

“I’d say pretty good considering how much we have had to convince Kimi that he is actually in love with y/n. He’s definitely starting to warm up to the idea and as soon as y/n sees him out of the racing arena she will realize that she likes him too” Lewis replied proudly.

Lewis and Sebastian were both sure that this plan would work and that when y/n and Kimi were forced to be in close quarters all their walls would come crumbling down and they would finally admit their feelings for each other.

“Just to make our plan even better we should have y/n and Kimi share a room together, we could tell them it’s a way for them to spend time together to discuss strategies and ideas for races but in reality it’s so they can see that they are compatible outside the track too.” Lewis said with a playful smile.

“What do you mean I’m sharing a room? you asked the hotel clerk.

“I’m sorry Miss. l/n we accidentally double booked your room”

“Well who am I sharing with?” You asked

“Mr.Hamilton I believe”

Well at least it’s Lewis

“Alright fine” you said, snatching the keycard off the counter and heading to your room.

Once you got into your room you looked around the room. And saw that Lewis was already here and in the shower.

You set the keycard on the table and took off your shoes and jacket.

“Lewis can you believe this shit” you said as soon as you heard the water turned off and the bathroom door opened.

“I’m not Lewis” a voice said

Turning around you are met with a wet Kimi standing in the doorway of the bathroom.

What the actual fuck you thought to

Yourself.

You were stunned by the sight of Kimi standing in the doorway, he was just standing there dripping wet from the shower looking as sexy as ever and not saying a word. Your eyes travelled down his muscular body before you felt so embarrassed that your eyes were all over him that you quickly looked away hoping that he didn’t notice.

“Is there something on my face or something?” Kimi asked, taking a step closer, he still looked wet from the shower and his hair was wet, making him look even hotter. You quickly shook your head trying to shake the image from your head and act like he wasn’t sexy.

Kimi looked surprised at your reaction and smiled as he continued to walk towards you, you could smell him standing this close and he smelled divine, he didn’t have any harsh soaps or detergents, it was just the smell of a man after a long shower and it was intoxicating.

“Apparently there was some sort of mix up with the rooms, they double booked us for the same room.” Kimi said his eyes traveled up and down your body. He walked around to the bed and sat on it.

You watched as Kimi walked around the room before sitting on the bed. The sight of him had you feeling a surge of hormones rush through your veins making you all hot and bothered and wanting to jump him right then and there.

“Great” you said under your breath putting your shoes back on and grabbing your coat.

“Where are you going?” Kimi asked

“To the bar” you said walking out of your room.

Kimi watched you leave and laughed. He couldn't believe how she just walked out of the room like nothing. He hadn't wanted to believe what Sebastian and Lewis had said about having feelings for Y/N but he couldn't deny that he liked her.

He stood up and walked to the door before opening it and calling out to her.

"I'm coming with you.

“No you are not” you immediately replied before you began walking quicker to the elevator. You wanted space and time away from Kimi but he decided to be stubborn and follow behind you keeping step with you.

Kimi followed behind you not saying anything but you could feel his eyes watching you, you could feel him staring at your butt.

“Stop staring at my ass you pervert” you said

Kimi laughed hearing you speak so bluntly and with so much authority. You hated when men catcalled or stared at you but the fact that you were confident enough to call him a perv made him laugh.

“I’m not staring at your ass, you’re imagining things.” Kimi tried to feign innocence but you could tell by his smirk that he was in fact staring at your ass.

“You know what I saw, I’m not an idiot.” You said not letting him get away with it.

“Why does it matter where I’m looking?” Kimi countered trying not to sound as irritated as he was. This little game was making him annoyed and he wanted to take charge and not let you have the final word.

“Because it makes me uncomfortable." You said standing strong and not backing down from this argument. You weren't going to let him off the hook so easily.

“Oh poor you, you're uncomfortable. I’m not staring at your ass but if I was, don't you think you should just take it as a compliment?” Kimi said in a smug tone.

“I’m not taking it as a compliment, I think you’re a perv and a dickhead.” You snapped back, getting so frustrated with his cocky attitude. You didn’t understand why this guy was such a jerk but there was also something attractive about him that made you want to keep getting upset with him.

“Oh so now I’m a pervy dick head?” Kimi chuckled his cocky smirk growing larger as he saw you getting more and more aggravated with his behavior.

“Oh my god” you said, stepping into the elevator desperate for a drink.

Kimi followed you into the elevator but made zero attempt to hide the fact he was staring at your ass. You could just feel the tension building and your skin growing hotter as he continued to look at you.

As the elevator closed the tension was thick between you two, Kimi’s smirk was wider than ever as his eyes roamed all over your body but you refused to give him the satisfaction of acting scared or embarrassed.

“If you don’t stop staring at me I’ll break your nose” you said crossing your arms.

Kimi laughed and made no attempt to stop checking out your body, he knew you didn’t have the guts to do anything to him.

“Don’t make threats you can’t back up.”

You could feel a wave of anger wash over your entire body as he laughed at your threat. The fact that you had the guts to threaten him in such a small space and the fact that he knew your threats were empty made your blood boil even more.

Eventually the elevator door dinged open and you stepped out in search for the bar. Which you eventually found and your eyes immediately landed on Lewis who was laughing pretty hard with Sebastian.

The second you saw Lewis your whole body felt at ease, the tension of being in an elevator with Kimi faded but you still felt annoyed that Lewis was laughing with Sebastian at your expense.

Lewis and Sebastian laughed as they watched you walk over to the bar and as you got closer you could hear them still making jokes about you and Kimi having to share a room, Lewis was clearly taking great delight in this little situation.

“You two are assholes you know that” you said, taking Sebastian’s drink out of his hands and drinking it.

“But that’s what makes us so fun!” Lewis answered as he started laughing even louder, you hated that they were laughing at you so much but you would admit that they were right, a couple like you and Kimi would be toxic but goddamnit they still had this intense magnetic attraction that couldn’t just be ignored.

The more you thought about it the more it made you want to just give in and admit your feelings. Your body would never admit it but there was no denying that Kimi was hot af. It was getting harder and harder to not think of him as anything more than just a rival.

“I hate the both of you” you said

“No you don’t” Sebastian says

“Exactly you don’t hate us you can never hate us” Lewis says

“I definitely hate you two, you’re both irritating and obnoxious as hell.” You said with a smirk, while you did hate their teasing there was a part of you that did love them as well. They made you laugh and even though they were teasing you they made you glad that you had them as friends.

“I almost killed him in the elevator” you said

“For what?” Lewis asked

“He was staring at my ass” you said

“Well I can’t really blame him for that” Lewis said laughing along with Sebastian.

“Shut up” you said angrily but honestly you couldn’t deny that you did have a nice ass.

You were just about to say something when Kimi walked up to the table with a bottle of liquor and four glasses.

“Scoot over” Kimi said settling them down on the table.

Rolling your eyes at him as you scooted over to make room for him

Lewis and Sebastian both laughed as they watched you reluctantly move over for Kimi. They couldn’t wait for what was about to go down. They both knew that with Kimi and you being forced together things weren’t going to go smoothly but they couldn’t wait to watch the shitshow unfold.

“What are you doing Kimi?” You asked as he sat down, he didn’t respond to you instead he just started pouring all the liquor into the four glasses and handing one to you.

“It’s a shot, let's take one together,” Kimi said, looking you directly in the eyes. What was getting into him recently? This was the same guy who was cold and distant and didn’t talk all that much, he was clearly trying to initiate some kind of flirting but what was the point, did he not know that you only saw him as a rival?

“And what if I don’t want to take one.” You replied, getting agitated with him. You couldn’t believe he was trying to flirt with you. It was so out of character for him to just initiate a conversation like this.

“Come on it’s Irish whiskey you love this stuff” Kimi says and he was right you did love Irish whiskey.

He caught you off guard the way he was so sure that you did in fact really like Irish whiskey but he was right, you loved it and before you could protest any more he was handing you the shot and expecting you to take it.

You begrudgingly took the shot and tilted your head back taking the shot of whiskey in one sip, you enjoyed the strong burn that ran down your throat and the strong whiskey flavor. There was something about his smugness that was so hot to you despite how irritating it also was.

Kimi watched you take the whole shot at once and could not resist your adorable pouty face as you made a face after. You were definitely a lightweight with alcohol and it was kind of adorable how you always seemed to get drunk so fast.

“You’re a lightweight, you’re definitely going to be feeling it from that.” Kimi said with a chuckle as he poured himself a shot as well and drank it down in one go.

“I am not a lightweight, I think you’re just a heavy drinker.” You replied making a face at his comment. You were getting a little bit drunk so you were feeling more confident and you didn’t like that he was laughing at you.

“If you’re not a lightweight then drink me under the table then.” Kimi said with a smirk, his cockiness was definitely pissing you off.

It was like he was daring you to drink him under the table. The nerve of him to make such a comment, he’s going to regret saying those words.

“Fine” you said taking the challenge as he smirked confident that you wouldn’t be able to win this little game.

Kimi could sense the smug attitude coming from you and he knew that you weren’t going to back down. The only way this was going to end was if one of you got completely drunk.

“Let’s do it then.” Kimi said as he began pouring more shots for the both of you.

You both sat there drinking shot after shot, the alcohol was hitting your entire system fast, you could already feel a light headedness and dizziness overtake your mind. You were starting to feel more and more relaxed as the alcohol took over.

You both sat there drinking more and more shots, it had been at least 8 shots now for both of you. Kimi was definitely drunk now but he was holding himself together a lot better than you were, maybe it was his natural tolerance or maybe he was just used to drinking this much.

Each shot that hit your body made you feel hotter and hotter and looser, you were starting to lose track of how much you were drinking. You were getting seriously drunk now and you could feel the alcohol starting to make your entire body numb.

Both of you continued to drink more and more, your conversation was getting blurry, you had started losing track of what you were even talking about. The alcohol was seriously starting to take over your body and your vision was getting a bit cloudy.

Kimi watched you as you became more and more intoxicated, he had noticed that you were starting to get really drunk now, you were looking more flushed than before and your eyes were starting to glaze over as well. He couldn’t help but smirk at your adorable drunkenness.

Sebastian and Lewis watched as the two of you became drunker and drunker. Eventually you started to giggle every time Kimi looked at you which made him giggly. Sebastian and Lewis gave each other a look and fist bumped each other. Their plan was working.

“I think we might be getting a little bit too drunk” Kimi said with a drunken laugh, his words were slurring now as the alcohol continued to take effect. You could tell that he was getting more and more drunk by the minute and it was making him more relaxed and less rigid.

Kimi couldn’t help but laugh along with you despite how much he was trying to keep his composure. You both looked absolutely wasted now and that was only adding to how hilarious this situation was. You’re both so drunk that you have both lost track of what you’re even laughing at, but you don’t mind, the laughing and giggling was fun and this was the most relaxed you have been around Kimi in a long time.

The amount of alcohol that has flooded your both systems was insane, both of you were starting to get so drunk that you couldn’t stand without wobbling and leaning on each other. Your giggles and the fact that you kept looking at Kimi was only making him laugh more, both of you were like little kids now giggling and laughing at everything.

“How many more shots have we had?” Kimi asked you, his eyes were glazed over and he could barely stand without wobbling. You were both so wasted you couldn’t keep track of how many shots you’ve had so you just shook your head not knowing. “I don’t even know but I think we should stop now“ you slurred out.

“How about one more to finish things off?” Kimi said, smirking back at you. Despite the fact that you were super drunk you could tell that Kimi was more intoxicated than you were, his eyes were a bit glazed over and he was leaning on you quite heavily.

You were both so drunk that neither of you were thinking straight, a good idea in your drunken state seemed like a bad idea when you were sober. Since you both had already gotten wasted you figured what’s a couple more shots?

“Okay one more and that's it.” You said before you both took one final shot and drank it down.

The final shot hit both of you like a ton of bricks and you were both beginning to blackout now. You didn’t even realize how hard you were leaning on him but Kimi didn’t mind, he actually had his arms wrapped around you as both of you stood up. It was clear you were both very drunk now, you tried to look at him but everything was blurry and you couldn’t keep your eyes open for long.

Everything was spinning and you felt like you were about to pass out. Kimi was now holding on to you a little too tightly but you didn’t really mind, you were both so drunk that a hug was nice.

“Come on, I'll take you back to our room.” Kimi said, sounding very slurred and drunk. At least he was keeping himself stable, but you were barely able to keep your eyes open so you just let him handle this.

“You’re heavy you know that” you slurred your shoulder starting to become sore

Kimi smirked at your drunk slurred talk and held you up better, he was doing a pretty good job at staying standing while being this drunk. “I’m not heavy, you're just really light. Let me take you back to our room” he said his face close to yours.

You could feel his breath hit you and you could smell the alcohol on him. You were so drunk that a simple hug felt super comforting but the smell of his alcohol breath was getting a bit nauseating. You leaned on him more to try and maintain your balance but honestly it was getting so much harder to move.

Kimi tightened his grip on you as he knew he really needed to have control to get you back to the room. You could barely move yourself now that you were this drunk, you were just letting yourself be guided. He was the last thing you felt before you started to lose consciousness and blackout.

You found yourself being pulled into a soft bed, you were so wasted that you didn’t even fully process how you ended up in this bed. Kimi seemed to be laying down next to you with his arm wrapped around you. His warm body against yours provided you with some type of comfort but you wanted no part in this right now. You were so drunk you couldn’t even process your feelings, you had never been this drunk before….

“I don’t hate you.” You said into the darkness

Kimi was quiet for a moment but eventually he replied with a quiet and slurred voice. “I don’t hate you either.”

Your words surprised you, was it possible that you didn’t hate him? You both were drunk and barely aware of your actions so those words coming out of either of you were unexpected but there was something comforting about you being this honest with each other. Your drunken words were the purest and most honest you had been about your feelings.

The silence stretched once again, it was just two drunk opponents lying in a bed they didn’t know they were going to end up in. Kimi didn't know what to say or how to deal with your drunken declaration that you didn’t hate him. He didn't even know how he felt about you currently. He was enjoying this moment for now but neither of you knew what would happen when you both sobered up.

“You know that Sebastian and Lewis planned this whole thing,” you said.

Kimi smirked and even chuckled a bit. “We should probably blame them for the alcohol poisoning, you're super intoxicated.” He said teasingly as he was also drunk and couldn't help but laugh.

"Those two know what they're doing with these little games, they're just trying to get us to drop our guards down so that we'll finally admit our feelings for each other.”

“Are you admitting you have feelings for me?” Kimi replied in a flirty manner that he really never used. His face was starting to grow close to yours, he was definitely feeling that alcohol and losing his filter.

“I'm admitting that I'm incredibly drunk and that I don't even know what I'm saying right now” you slurred out, this was definitely a confusing situation you knew you were both drunk yet there was something about the way Kimi was acting that made it feel more real. Your cheeks started to flush because of the closeness you two were sharing right now.

“So you think sober me is ugly then?” You asked slightly offended

“I think you’re extremely pretty when you’re not so damn sassy” he replied teasingly, a little more confident in his flirtatious nature now that you guys were both wasted.

“So you think I’m pretty?” You repeated back to him not even registering how cocky and flirtatious he was right now. Usually he wouldn’t even make comments like this and would’ve shut you down immediately if you tried to get flirty with him.

“Of course I think you’re pretty.” He replied smiling softly and still looking into your eyes, it was a different side of him that you had never seen before. Normally you wouldn’t even imagine him talking to you this way but it was clear you guys being so drunk had taken down your mental guard.

You weren’t saying these things to annoy the other person now that you guys were drunk, what you were saying here was genuinely what you felt.

“Well I think your ridiculously hot” you say giggling

“Is that so?” He asked, smirking at your words, you could tell he was loving it. Before he had never really admitted to anything but he was starting to let his guard down now that you guys were both drunk. The alcohol was loosening him up and making it easier for him to say things without getting embarrassed.

“What else do you think?” he questioned you teasingly.

“Hmm what else do I think” you repeated back the alcohol made you feel a bit emboldened so you were just speaking your mind. “Honestly I think you’re a bit too flirty and cocky” you blurted out with a giggle and blush.

“What’s wrong with a man being flirty and cocky?” He teased back as a light smirk played on his lips. “Most women love a bit of flirting, are you trying to say you don’t?” He teased trying to bait you into admitting something that he has always wanted to hear.

“I don’t know, I mean sometimes it’s cute but you take it too far” you replied starting to get hot from the way he was looking at you. “You’re very conceited” you added teasingly, it was always your way of trying to get him to shut up but in reality the alcohol made you believe every word you were saying.

“So you think I’m cute?” He teased with a smirk as the drink really was loosening up his lips and giving him the courage to say these words that normally he would’ve never admitted.

“You have a big ego” you replied with a teasing smile, you really weren’t used to this type of flirting and the alcohol was having you believe every word that you were saying.

“My ego is big because my looks match it,” he smirked back making your heart rate increase the way he spoke to you. The alcohol was making him loosen up and he clearly thought you were hot at the moment.

“I think you’re way too full of yourself” you retorted back still not breaking eye contact with him, the way he was looking at you was really making you want to punch him in the face and kiss him at the same time.

“You really think that I’m too cocky?” He challenged your claim as he kept inching his face closer to yours, the alcohol was making him very bold and he wasn't going to back down from this. He was waiting for you to either get annoyed and start yelling at him or kiss him, but it looked like the latter was going to happen.

What was he doing?! You were so confused by his behavior but at the same time it was kinda hot. You kept looking into his eyes as he brought himself closer to you, his hot breath was all you could smell and you were getting more and more flushed.

“Yes I really think you’re too full of yourself and a total douche” you replied with a teasing smile, the alcohol was really making you lose control of the situation and it was driving you insane.

“Well you’re the prettiest little smartass that I’ve ever met.” He smirked and the space between you both became so small that you could feel the heat of each other’s breath. You were both breathing a bit quicker and your heart rate was really cranking up, it felt like you were about to kiss.

Your faces became closer and closer with each passing second, you were now so close that you could feel his breath on your neck and your faces were only inches away now. You were getting hotter and hotter by the minute, the alcohol was making your lips feel like they really wished to be touched and the temptation was becoming too much for you to handle.

Kimi felt the way you were breathing and your breaths were becoming shorter and louder. When your face became a mere inch from touching, Kimi made the move, the alcohol was making his judgment very impaired and he was barely able to handle the way you were making him feel by being so close. He leaned into your face making contact and his lips pressed against yours.

Your cheeks felt like they were going to burst from the hot sensation of him kissing your lips. It almost felt feverish and the alcohol was making you very hot. The kiss itself was really good and it felt right, your body was responding to all the sensations as if you had wanted them for a long time.

Pulling away from you look at Kimi “I’m not a smart ass” you said rolling over

“You kinda are though” he replied smiling down at you, he seemed completely unfazed by the kiss. The alcohol had definitely been making you both bold enough to do things that you have never done before, you were now in bed together looking at each other. You were both incredibly intoxicated and drunk but the alcohol had done away with your filter and you were starting to see the real Kimi who was actually pretty charming.

“Oh my god good night Kimi” you said before falling asleep.

A small smile played on Kimi’s face as you fell asleep. The alcohol really was making you both act in ways that you never would’ve otherwise. You were laying next to each other in the same bed after kissing and flirting aggressively, in the morning you both would probably be hungover but also maybe embarrassed with how you acted.

“Good night” Kimi muttered back as he fell asleep too, he was definitely way too drunk to process the way he was acting tonight.

The next morning is not one that either of you remember fondly, you wake up looking at the back of Kimi’s head as his arms are wrapped around you in a cuddle type position. Your eyes widen as you process where you are and the memories from last night start to come in fragments. You recall him being incredibly flirty at your expense and you insulting him back with witty one liners, ultimately that ended in a kiss.

You feel very hung over and sore, your entire body is tingling and you just want a good shower to wash away the sweat and the smell of alcohol.

You feel Kimi press himself into you as you continue to lay there, not ready to move yet. He is also still asleep and he seems to be clinging on to you. Maybe because he’s as hung over as you are and feels like crap. His body is pressed against yours and you can feel the heat coming from both of you in this position. As you start to wake up, your stomach is making some loud growling noises and you start to feel nauseous. The alcohol has definitely taken a toll and the smell of it is very annoying to you right now.

You feel like if you make any kind of movement you might vomit and the smells in here are definitely not helping. The room smells like a mix of sweat and alcohol which is making you feel like dying. Your body is so sore and you’ve never felt this hungover before, your head is pounding and you just want to be able to sleep a little more.

You lay in bed and Kimi was still cuddled tightly to your back. His arms are wrapped around you in a tight embrace, he was clearly suffering from the same kind of hangover too. You start to drift off to sleep again but Kimi’s movements keep waking you up, his hot breath also doesn’t help. This is going to be a long day of recovering from this hangover.

You were both very much struggling with your body aches and dehydration from the heavy drinking last night. You were feeling the effects of the alcohol a lot in your head, your headache was pounding with each little movement that you made. Kimi was struggling too, he kept shifting his body around to get comfortable but even that small bit of movement was making him cringe as he had a very bad headache. Neither of you seemed to want to get up in fear of making your headaches even worse.

Neither of you were moving very much, your positions were only changing when one of you got too uncomfortable. You still can’t move much without the intense feeling of wanting to vomit rising within you. The room was incredibly hot and humid, you were sweating and feeling pretty gross from all the alcohol your body was still trying to flush out. Luckily Kimi also seemed to be suffering the same fate as you.

What happened last night you thought? to yourself trying to remember the night before. You and Kimi obviously didn’t hook up considering that you both were still dressed.

That’s the weird part, you guys didn’t hook up but Kimi was cuddling you like you were a couple and he had just woken up with his arms and legs wrapped around you. You also remembered flirting aggressively with each other and Kimi saying some pretty flirty words back at you, you tried to remember everything but it was kind of fuzzy. You kept replaying the kiss that you guys shared but you couldn’t help but blush.

You also remembered getting very hot as his body was pressed against yours in the bed and how his breath was causing the sensation of wanting to vomit and the alcohol was not making this feeling any easier for you. You were just thinking about what had even happened last night when a warm breath blew on your neck causing you to shiver slightly.

Eventually Kimi began to stir awake “your staring” he says through squinted eyes.

“And what if I am?” You replied back with a smug smile, you knew you guys had something going on right now. You guys were laying in bed cuddling, the way that he wrapped his arms around you made it feel a lot more intimate than it had the right to be.

“Why were you staring though?” he smiled back teasingly, he had a good feeling about what had happened last night. He was starting to remember the flirty comments and the kiss you guys had shared, his lips curved into a grin as he looked at you.

“Just admiring the thing I’m wrapped around…” you said softly, you were trying to be flirty as well. Although you were still very much hung over and the smell of alcohol on Kimi was making you really want to gag. The smell of alcohol on his breath and the alcohol coming out in his sweat was making your stomach feel like it was on fire.

Kimi smirked and he looked away, he was starting to get incredibly hot from this little flirty game you guys were playing. His heart was beating fast and he couldn’t keep his mouth from curving into a grin as he looked at you.

“What did you remember last night?” he asked with a smirk.

“Not a whole lot” you replied back honestly, you didn’t want to admit how much you actually remembered from last night. You didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of letting him know that you remembered the flirty words, the insults and the kiss you guys shared.

“Why are you asking?” you asked back in an innocent voice, pretending not to know what he was getting at.

Kimi chuckled looking at you, he wasn’t going to let you play innocent with him like that. “I think you know why I’m asking, but to spell it out for you I’m here to give you a reminder. You seem to have forgotten all the things you did last night that were making you seem pretty flirty and the way you were kissing me as if you wanted me.”

“Oh is that so?” you replied with a smirk, honestly his flirting was making you really hot. The alcohol had really made you more vulnerable than usual so you really weren’t able to hold yourself back from flirting and kissing him last night.

“Care to remind me some more” you asked teasingly, maybe you did want him to spell things out for you. The way he was smiling at you was making your heart race…

Kimi smirked and he looked directly into your eyes, he was pretty confident that you wanted him to be flirty. You had kissed him last night in a way that was so intimate to just have been a drunken mistake.

“What about how you kept calling me cocky and conceited, did you actually mean any of that?” he smirked getting closer and he whispered “Or did you just say it to be a smartass?”

The closeness of where he was getting you was causing that feeling of want, desire, heat to rise again. Your stomach went all queasy from the feeling as you tried to hold back your blush.

“Maybe I did mean some of that” you said shyly, honestly you meant almost all of it. You really did think he was very full of himself in normal circumstances but right now he was getting you hot and that was making you think otherwise.

“Some is a big word, I think you meant a lot of it” he smirked teasingly before getting even closer to you. He was so close to your face right now that he was only a few inches away. He could feel your breathing getting a bit heavier as he continued to move in closer and you were getting more and more flustered by each second.

The feeling of wanting to kiss him was overwhelming in the moment and you guys were basically having a face-off of who would make the first move. You both wanted the other one to initiate that way so there was no chance of rejection and the awkwardness of that.

Your heart was racing and your breath was shallow as you both stayed still staring into each other’s eyes without breaking eye contact. The alcohol had definitely loosened both of you up so he could be very flirty and you would be all for it.

You could feel the tension between you two, the air around you was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. Your body was feeling very hot and you had butterflies fluttering around your stomach. Kimi was smirking as he saw the effect this was all having on you and he continued to keep his eyes on you.

Neither of you were moving, neither of you were willing to let the other take control of this situation. You both weren’t saying a word, just looking at each other intently like two people who knew each other very well.

Kimi let out a chuckle as this face-off turned into a staring contest, it could be going on all day if neither of you did anything. The silence was deafening, no one had a word to say as it seemed like the two of you were ready to pounce onto each other any minute.

You were both so hot in the moment and you couldn’t believe how close you guys were getting to each other. Neither of you had a word to say as this had all turned into a very intimate moment.

It seemed like your thoughts had aligned at the same time as each of you simultaneously moved towards the others faces. You both closed your eyes just as your faces came together, your lips touching each other soft and gently. Your breath hitched as the feeling of passion filled your body. This kiss didn’t feel like a drunken mistake, it felt like there was a genuine connection between you both.

“I was telling you the truth, I don't hate you. I just don’t want to get hurt” you say

“Well I wasn’t lying either” he said in a whisper, it felt really weird to have gotten from a point where you both insulted each other to a point where you both are saying these things to each other. The alcohol was definitely taking away both of your guards and honestly you were really glad that it had.

Your body felt really hot when you were kissing each other and you wanted it to continue. You felt like a fool for denying the tension that you were having with each other, but the alcohol had definitely taken that away from you and it seemed like you both had no reservations about the situation at all and were just acting upon your desires.

You liked the fact that this kiss wasn’t rushed like most kisses were, there was a slow build up to it. You kissed each other in such a tender way that it wasn’t just the alcohol that made it so hot. It was the genuine connection between you both that made it so intimate and the feeling of your lips coming together felt like a real moment.

You kept kissing Kimi, not wanting it to end. The soft lips of his were so nice, they felt really good and you wanted more. The feeling of your tongue brushing his was overwhelming and it was driving you crazy. Your hands were exploring his body and he couldn’t stop the small moans of pleasure that kept escaping his lips.

You started pulling away after some time, both of you were breathing deeply after that kiss and you felt the intensity of it all come over you. Your lips were hot and tingling from the kiss and you could still feel Kimi’s breath on them.

You took a deep breath and looked up at him. “I don’t think this was just the alcohol” you whispered softly, you could feel your heart beating so fast and you couldn’t help but blush at what you had just said.

Kimi smirked seeing the embarrassment that crossed your face. You were definitely getting shy and flustered after feeling the reality of the intensity of that situation and the kiss you guys had shared.

“You’re right” he said “It wasn’t all the alcohol” he replied with a smirk on his face. The blush on your face was giving him a bit of a boost of ego and he liked the sight of you blushing for him.

He liked the way you looked so flustered and he kept smirking as he watched you blush. “I think you should know this” he said teasingly, he wasn’t letting this flirting game die down. “My words last night are still true” he said smiling, you couldn’t tell how much he was teasing you right now. But he wanted to keep this flirting game going as it just added to the tension of this moment.

Your cheeks got even redder and you looked away, you couldn’t even look at him right now. “What are you saying?” You whispered softly, the way his smirk was on his face was really getting to you. You weren’t sure if he was saying this just to add to the flirtation or if he meant it, the fact that it was so hard to tell was making this feel all the more real.

“Let me spell it out for you…” he whispered in a very cheeky tone “I think that I like you” he smirked and he leaned forward to kiss you again but didn’t make contact yet. Your cheeks were so red that they literally seemed like they were glowing. You liked the way this teasing was going but it was also starting to make you feel a bit nervous.

Kimi’s eyes were glued to your lips as he waited for you to make the next move. Your lips were still so swollen from your last kiss that it seemed like a perfect setup to have another one. Your body was still feeling the heat from earlier when you had kissed and it felt like if you made the next move, it would lead to something more.

Kimi kept smiling as he watched you, your cheeks were still bright red and your lips were still slightly swollen too, it was quite an invite. You were basically sending out signals for him to get closer and kiss you again, so he continued to watch you and waited for your consent. He was letting you decide if you wanted to do this, and he wouldn’t make the next move if you weren’t ready yet.

You kept trying to play a coy game but in the end you gave in, you wanted to kiss him again. “Come here” you whispered softly and you lifted your lips up to him, inviting him closer to your face. You were still really hungover and your stomach was still feeling queasy, but you really wanted this kiss and you were okay with the consequences.

He smirked at you when you whispered at him to come closer, you were so cheeky and sexy. He moved in and he placed his lips directly on yours, no hesitation at all. The kiss felt really intense and you both were definitely not going to hold back. You were also taking the lead this time and it was making him really turned on.

“I like you too” you say out of breath

Kimi smiled at you as his breath slowed down to a normal speed. Your words were definitely not what he was expecting but he really liked hearing them from you.

You guys had taken this whole rivals to lovers thing a bit seriously, both of you were just really attracted to each other and didn’t want to admit it.

“I’m glad to hear that” he mumbled with his breath still a bit shaky “I’m really glad” he smiled at you softly.

“I just have one question” he said softly, you had both already confessed your feelings for each other but Kimi still wanted to know something. You knew this wasn’t going to be about some silly rivalry, the flirting had now gotten pretty serious.

“What is it?” you asked looking back at him, you really wanted to keep this flirty atmosphere going as it was just really adding to these intense feelings you guys were having right now.

“Will you… let me take you out on a date?” he asked shyly. You were surprised to say the least, the fact that Kimi was being so genuine and honest about his feelings was really cute. He was always so stoic and quiet most of the time, it was great seeing a different side to him tonight.

“You want to take me out on a date?” you replied back, you knew that he probably was asking you out on one already but you were just enjoying the moment and teasing him.

“I’ll think about it if you ask me again…” you replied seductively, you wanted to tease him a bit before saying yes.

Your teasing took him by surprise but he liked it as he smirked at you. “So am I supposed to be on my knees begging?” he smirked and he moved his arms to your hips. “I’ll ask you later, for now I’ll stick to kissing you if you allow that” he whispered, his voice was low and seductive.

You smiled when he moved his arms to your hips, it was such a smooth move that really showed his experience with women. You liked the way he was teasing you but was still taking this flirtation pretty seriously.

“Yes you may kiss me” you whispered softly, your tone was almost seductive as your voice came out as a breathy whisper.

“As you wish” Kimi replied with a smirk. You could tell by the grin that he really did enjoy the power he had over you right now. He was enjoying your seduction and the flirting game you guys were playing.

He moved his lips to yours and he started kissing you very intensely, like he was trying to tell you just how badly he wanted this. His hands were roaming all around your body and he was enjoying having this kind of access to you today.

You tried not to get too distracted by his hands as he kept them moving all over your body, your body was really feeling hot from last night. You really wanted this kiss to continue for as long as you could hold your breath.

Kimi’s body was right up at yours and the whole situation was so intensely hot. You started to kiss him back with just as much passion as he was giving you. Your tongue intertwined with his and the kisses you guys were stealing from each other is something you would never forget, it was so hot and so addictive.

Okay, I found the ask over Narutos baby fever and whilst I have absolutely no idea what is going on (I am sorry, my ability to keep up with AUs, sadly, has drastically decreased over the last year) it did remind me of one of my absolute favourite Headcanons: Naruto has redesigned the childcare system in Konohagakure.

I often see in fanfiction (I am not sure anymore if she did it canon as well) in which, after Tsunade took over the mantle, she reworked the medical system in Konoha because she was unsatisfied with how things were going, and I like to think that Naruto did the same but when it came to child care. From "basic" stuff like children aren't allowed to live on their own to things like a working cps ninja force, reworking the orphanages and firing/re-educateing old staff, opening more daycares/other services to take care of children for Shinobi who can't rely on their family to do it for them, and so much more.

I just really like the idea that Naruto (with help from Shikamaru, Iruka, and Ino to put everything in place) used all his negative experiences to fuel positive change in the system he was a victim to.

I've always enjoyed the idea that each Hokage had a special project and Naruto's ends up being both the budget and childcare. It works so well for him.
