dattebayo!

The lesson had been going smoothly, Kankuro had just shown Y/N the basics of chakra strings, and they were even starting to move the small wooden puppet on the coffee table by themselves. Granted, it was made for little kids, but baby steps were necessary, especially considering Y/N’s lesson had started about 15 minutes ago.

Kankuro had only agreed to teach Y/N about puppetry for one reason, and one reason only: he thought they were gorgeous, and they only became more gorgeous to him when he found out that they were interested in his craft. The conversation had gone something like this: “Hey, Kankuro, will you show me how to -“ “YES.”

Everything was going to plan, Y/N seemed to be enjoying themselves, as well as picking up on the basics rather quickly, and Kankuro had yet to dissolve into a stumbling mess the way that he normally did around them. Yes, everything was going to plan, until Temari happened to come home early from her training, one of her annoying friends in tow. The door slammed open, and their loud giggles replaced the soothing, quiet atmosphere that Kankuro had tried so hard to maintain: making sure that his siblings were to be busy for the entire day, and even telling his advisors and assistants not to bother him for the whole day unless something major was happening in Suna.

He had mainly been worried about Gaara, because, try as he might, not everyone had taken to liking the newly elected Kazekage quite yet, and it was a topic of conversation Kankuro had yet to breach with Y/N. However, because of this, he had taken less consideration than he should have when it came to Temari.

“Oh, hey Kankuro, we’re just stopping by to grab my purse for some lunch, we’re going out to eat if you want to- oh!” She paused, eyeing Y/N mischievously. “I didn’t know you were busy.” She said, turning her smirk from Y/N to Kankuro, before quickly turning to her friend. “And to think, my own brother didn’t tell me that he had finally gotten the nerve to ask his crush out! The nerve!” The pair laughed and smirked at Kankuro again, grabbing Temari’s purse off the counter, shouting goodbye to Kankuro and Y/N as they slammed the door behind them, their laughter able to be heard from the other side of it as they resumed their chatter.

Meanwhile, inside the living room, it was deadly quiet, until Y/N broke the silence. “Well, that’s a relief.”

“What?” Kankuro’s eyes shot up to meet theirs.

“I was beginning to think my feelings were one-sided.” Y/N said with a small smile, before standing up and pulling Kankuro to his feet. “How about we go out for our own lunch date?”

It wasn’t until Y/N had dragged him out the front door that Kankuro blinked and said, “You have feelings for me?”

@jeonh0e: Hii can i have a match up? I wear glasses and i have brown hair and eyes. I'm v sensitive but i don't know how to express my feelings. Also i can be vvv sassy and sarcastic. I love watching movies and reading. Thank u~<3

I ship you with Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi wouldn’t mind your inability to express your feelings, moreover if you wished to talk to him about anything he’d listen and once he knows what upsets you he’d take precautions to ensure he doesn’t do anything that would hurt your feelings. He’d most likely find your sarcasm amusing and would manage to come up with a counter to every sarcastic remark you throw at him. Additionally, the two of you could spend many a lazy day watching movies together and discussing books, a word of warning however: he has a very specific taste in literature. Proceed with caution.

@queenofmyth: Hello there! I would really like to know who I will be shipped with in the Naruto Universe :) I am 4'10 (short, I know) with naturally long black wavy hair and brown eyes. To a stranger I look serious and a loner. When I'm with friends, however, I am funny and awkward (and a bit of a airhead). I have a soft spot for dogs, cats and sweets. I also draw and write stories. I prefer males but, HEY, whatever seems fit for me I will take it! (but seriously;GUYS!) Thanks~

I ship you with Sai. Sai wouldn’t be put off by your serious persona nor your tendency to look like a “loner” to those who don’t know you. He’d take a great enjoyment in getting to know you better and getting an understanding of your likes and dislikes, the two of you could have long discussions about stories and could spend time together drawing and trading art tips. Furthermore, he wouldn’t consider you an airhead and he can be a bit awkward when caught in conversations himself so that wouldn’t be an issue to him either.

@shy911: I think I'm ready to do the match up request now. I am calm though I do at times get excited talking about things I love. I'm an introvert and I enjoy spending time to myself. When I get irritated/angry I become mean and if pushed far enough I will start yelling. My hobbies are reading, listening to music,taking pictures, and occasionally drawing. In a partner I would like someone I could get along with. Someone not overly loud but goal oriented. Not too protective too.  Dang of all the things I forget it had to be the gender. Lol sorry i'd prefer male

I ship you with Shino Aburame. Shino would never deliberately attempt to make you angry nor would he push you if you’re feeling angry or irritated, on the contrary, he would respect your boundaries and always leave you alone should you want to spend some time to yourself. He’d understand that you could look after yourself and wouldn’t be overprotective, he also couldn’t be overly loud if he tried. In addition, he’d sit with you for hours listening to you talk about the things you love if that’s what you wanted, the two of you could engage in long conversations about whatever you wished or could just enjoy each other’s company whilst reading or engaging in another quiet activity.

@claire-says: Hi, may I get a match up? I'm 18 yo female aquarius (INTJ if that helps). I'm bisexual, but I prefer men. I have brown/ginger hair and brown eyes and I'm 172 cm tall. I'm introverted and quiet, but with my close friends I'm funny and sarcastic. I like psychology, learning foreign languages and working out, but my one true hobby is reading. I don't really express my emotions and I definitely don't talk about them, but that doesn't mean I don't have them. Thank you and love your blog ♥

I ship you with Shikamaru Nara. Shikamaru would joke around with you when you’re alone together or with friends, and would always have an answer to your sarcasm. The two of you would get into many a deep psychological discussion (with an IQ like his he’d always keep you entertained with what he has to say), he’d find your interest in learning foreign languages rather impressive and, although he himself most likely wouldn’t work out with you, he’d be more than happy to discuss book recommendations with you and would be a good partner to read in the company of. Furthermore, should you ever wish to talk about your emotions he’d be there for you, but if you wish to stay quiet then he wouldn’t mind that either, whatever you want would be fine with him and he’d respect however you wish to express your emotions 100%. (Thank you for the compliment) ♥

Anonymous: Hi there, could I get a matchup with a male character please? I'm a female with dark brown hair and brown eyes. I'm very short, and I'm on the "thicker" side. I am pretty quiet and awkward at first, and I won't start conversations. When I'm with people I'm close with though, I'm outgoing, funny, witty, and sarcastic. Secretly, deep down, I have a big heart. I'm also a huge nerd, I love video games, reading fantasy/horror books, listening to music, eating sweets, and I also love animals. Thanks!

I ship you with Kiba Inuzuka. At the beginning of your relationship, Kiba wouldn’t have a problem leading most conversations with you, not minding how quiet you are and eventually once you were comfortable around him he’d adore how outgoing and funny you are and would always be willing to have a joke with you. Kiba would also always be up for playing video games with you and he’d take a great interest in your music taste. Bonus: your love for animals would be ideal in handling Akamaru and the white-haired ninja dog would probably take a liking to you as well.

Gaara keeps a picture of himself and his s/o on his desk inthe Kazekage office.

Don’t ask him who the person in the photograph with him is,once he starts talking about his s/o his mouth curls into a soft smile and hegets an affectionate look in his eyes and that’s him gone he will ramble onabout them for ages.

Gaara isn’t very big on PDA, however as his relationshipwith his s/o develops every now and then he’ll give them a quick kiss on thecheek or will sheepishly reach for their hand when they’re walking together.

If his s/o is a ninja themselves or has a particularlydangerous job which requires them going away for weeks at a time, Gaara wouldbe beside himself with worry in their absence and whenever they were due backhe’d find some way of getting time off work to spend the day catching up withthem and making sure they’re alright.

In a more modern AU, he’d create accounts on social mediawebsites for the sole purpose of following his s/o. He likes all their pictureson Facebook and reblogs all the selfies they post on Tumblr. If they had aYoutube channel 99% of their views would be from him.

For Christmas, Kankuro gets him and his s/o matching dressinggowns or something equally as cheesy like mugs that say “I’m his” and “I’mtheirs” as a joke and Gaara unironically loves them and uses them all the time.

Gaara likes to keep mementos of him and his s/o’s relationshipregardless as to how insignificant they may look to other people. One dayTemari is helping him have a spring clean and she finds an old napkin at thebottom of a draw and goes to throw it out and Gaara panics because it’s fromthe restaurant him and his s/o went to on their first date Temari listen it’simportant you don’t understand.

Gaara would name at least one of his cacti plants after hiss/o, he’d name an entire greenhouse after them if that wouldn’t be considered excessiveand a little bit weird.

Slowly, as Neji left his slumbering state, he became awareof several things. His significant other wrapped up in his arms, the gentle morninglight peeking through the closed curtains of their bedroom, and the soft sheetscovering his body being some of the items he picked up on. Although Neji had becomeconscious, sleepiness still hung over him like a thick fog, and so his lavendereyes remained hidden behind heavy eyelids.

In a corner of Neji’s mind, where he was doing more thanjust relishing in the warmth of his bed and savouring his partner’s touch, asthe rest of his subconscious was doing, he felt his significant other shift inthe bed next to him. He briefly registered that they had awoken, but his drowsythoughts decided not to do anything about this detail.

Neji didn’t feel his partner’s weight leave the bed. Instead,he noticed them leaning closer to him, and he felt a smooth hand push back alock of his hair, which had been laying over his forehead. He moved into theirtouch, ever so slightly, but not enough to key them into the fact that he wasawake. He allowed himself to relax as they stroked his dark, silky strands. Themovement of their hands paused for a moment, and Neji almost pouted in protestat the loss of the light touch, but new contact was found before he had thechance to do so.

He felt them press a small, lingering peck to his forehead,directly over his curse seal. Neji’s heart swelled at the motion, and emotionscoursed through his body. He was overly self-conscious about the mark that layupon his pale forehead, and the gesture touched his heart.

“Good morning, love,” Neji murmured his gentle greeting in aslightly husky voice. He opened his eyes to be addressed with the sight of hissignificant other’s twinkling face above his, and he gave them a soft smile inreturn.

@whiteladydragon: Match me! I'm a 24-year-old autochorissexual female looking to become a biomedical researcher. 5'9", blue eyes, blondish, overweight. I'm a Virgo with a Pisces Moon, Gemini Ascendant, and Libra Venus. ISFJ. Autistic. My hobbies include volunteer work, writing fan fiction, and naps. I like to go out to eat, watch movies, take walks, and visit zoos and aquariums. But I'm game for whatever my partner wants to do. Within reason, of course. I could go for any gender as long as we fit. Thank you!

I ship you with Choji Akimichi. He would find it admirable that you take time out of your own life to do good in the world with your volunteer work, even if you don’t get paid for it. He would always be willing to give you his thoughts on your writing, and would still read it, even if it wasn’t to his own tastes. Going out to eat and watching movies are both activities which Choji enjoys, so he would have no qualms with taking part in these things with you. The two of you would get along very peacefully.

Anonymous:  Hi, I was wondering if you can do a match up? I have short curly purple hair with blue eyes. I am pretty short and curvy and enjoy hanging around inside though I am surprisingly fit. I can be loud but I also enjoy quiet. I love making others laugh and laughing myself. I am highly sarcastic and I have a 'problem with authority'. If someone wants me to follow their orders I need to actually respect them otherwise I kinda just do my own thing. However, I am very loyal to those who earn my trust.

I ship you with Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto doesn’t mind hanging around inside with you, to an extent. He loves your sense of humour, and the two of you could spend hours laughing together about nothing and everything. Your sarcasm is something that he finds humorous, and he commends and appreciates your immense loyalty, which is a trait the two of you share.

Anonymous: Ello, could I get a ship/match-up please ? I'm a Aries, INTP, introvert, 5'0, Slytherin/Thunderbird, chaotic evil, pansexual, reddish dark brown hair up to my waist, hourglass body type, and dark brown eyes, I also wear glasses. I suffer from BPD, NPD, paranoia, and I have trust issues. I'm quite shy plus really, really lazy, often described as weird and crazy by my friends and with strangers I'm described as creepy. [1/2] I'm also a little sadistic, straightforward, blunt, and loud with people who I'm comfortable with and I'm kinda nice. When I'm angry or happy about something I kinda rant about it. Also an conspiracy theorist an a meme collector, I have a phobia of the dark, but meanwhile I really like the night. Plus I love reading scary stories and urban legends, also any genre of books + comics in general, except romance. I listen to rock music/heavy metal. Thank you, sorry if this is long! [2/2]

I ship you with Neji Hyuga. Neji would be patient in waiting for you to build up trust with him, would appreciate your logical thinking and would find your shyness rather endearing. He’d always listen to you politely whenever you wish to rant and if you were feeling upset, he would do his utmost to comfort you in any way you wish, being completely alright with staying up most nights to watch the stars with you and exchange spooky stories and urban legends (he’d most likely find them fascinating). Most of all he would respect your bluntness and tendency to be straightforward, the two of you would have a very honest relationship.

@lee-bunnii: idk if I've sent a matchup before, but I'm polite and positive around most people, but im more like myself and comfortable around friends. i value trust and honesty in relationships, and i look for someone i can rely on and i can joke with. (1/2) i don't really like immature people but i enjoy people who are passionate and i can easily talk to about how i feel. could i ask for a male & female matchup? I'm also infp, Gemini, and i like independent people. i need a partner, not a follower (2/2) (I'm sorry i keep sending asks about myself (3/3) I'm an artist. i like "me time" and i get tired from being around groups, but I'm okay 1 to 1.i have lots of aquantainces but few close friends. I'm open minded, like to see all sides.

Female: I ship you with Temari, she too wouldn’t like a relationship not based off of trust and honesty and would be open with you about everything, there’d be no secrets between you. She’d be down for joking around but would also take your feelings very seriously and would make it very clear that should you need someone to talk to, you can turn to her. Male: I ship you with Itachi Uchiha, if it’s reliability you’re after then Itachi would always be at your side whenever you need him. He would treat you like an equal in very way and would never patronise you, or joke around with you should you wish to be serious. Additionally, he’d love how open minded you are.

You were relaxing comfortably in the home that you sharedwith your boyfriend, Gaara, and awaiting his return. You loved him deeply, andalthough it was only earlier that day when you’d last seen him, you werebeginning to miss him. The bond the two of you shared was unlike any other, andyou both struggled when you were apart.

When you heard the door open, which announced the arrival ofyour loved one, you felt your heart give a happy leap. You got to your feet ashe entered, and pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek. “How was your day?”

Gaara nodded, his eyes looking past you. “It was okay.”

“What are you thinking for dinner?” you asked him. “Do youwant to eat out tonight?”

“Sure. Whatever you want,” he replied, his round, green eyeslooking faraway.

You frowned. Gaara appeared distant, and was acting unresponsivelytowards you, which was unfamiliar. Your relationship was usually filled withhealthy communication, and you were able to pick up on the issue which wasobviously bothering Gaara straight away. “Are you okay?” you asked him, yourvoice sounding caring and kind.

His eyes flickered towards you, and it was the firstinstance of eye contact that had occurred since he had returned home to you. Immediately,his irises began to wobble, and you saw tears lie upon his eyelids.

“Gaara,” you whispered his name softly, caressing his cheekwith a comforting hand. “Talk to me.”

“I’ve done something awful,” Gaara confessed. He didn’t speakabove a murmur, but the tremble in his tone was easy to hear.

“It’s okay,” you comforted him. “Tell me what happened.” Yousaw him shudder, and you guided him to a seat, patting his back as he began hisexplanation.

“I-I took a walk around the village today. A woman… sheapproached me, and… Y/N, I don’t know what happened. All of a sudden her lipswere on mine, and…” he broke off, and you saw a tear run down his pale cheek.

“That’s not your fault, Gaara! I trust you; I know you wouldnever do something like that on purpose,” you reassured him, his devastatedexpression tearing you apart.

“But Y/N…” Gaara sobbed.

“It’s okay,” you told him, pulling him into your arms.

“I’m so sorry,” he apologised sincerely, his crying makinghis thin frame shake.

“Don’t be, it’s alright.”

You held your boyfriend close to you, not heartbroken thathe had kissed another person, but heartbroken that some woman had done this tohim. You allowed him to cry in your arms, enabling him to let his feelings outas you comforted him.

Naruto:

A day with Naruto was never uneventful, and this meant therewas quite a lot of jostling, which was okay with you. Anyone who wasn’t okaywith that probably wasn’t suited to being one of Naruto’s loved ones. However, inthis moment, the playful shoving got rather too rough for your liking. Notbecause he hurt you, but because he happened to knock off the sunglasses youalways wore. You scrambled to pick them up and replace them but you weren’t fastenough to hide your eyes from Naruto.

He peered at your face, unabashed. “Whoa – what happened toyour eye?” Naruto asked, his voice audibly uneasy. His words were blunt, but youknew it wasn’t Naruto’s intention to come across as insensitive, so you didn’t treatit that way.

Your heart pounded as you struggled to find the words youwanted to say. “I-I… I’m blind in one eye.”

Naruto accepted this immediately. “Oh,” he commented,looking deep in thought, “That must be pretty rough.”

“Please don’t think of me any differently,” was all youreplied with, anxiety practically oozing from you.

At this, Naruto looked genuinely confused. “Why would I? You’restill the same old Y/N to me,” he said, a grin appearing on his bright face. Reliefspread through you, and you beamed as he threw an arm around your shoulder.

Gaara:

You picked up your treasured sunglasses and replaced them asswiftly as you could, but one look at Gaara’s troubled expression told you thatyou hadn’t managed to keep your eyes out of his view. You said nothing, andwaited for Gaara to approach the subject.

“Y/N, I don’t mean to be intrusive, but… is your eye okay?”The expression in Gaara’s voice made his concern obvious, and your palms beganto sweat. You must have looked distressed because Gaara continued, politely. “Youdon’t have to explain anything to me if you don’t wish to. It is your business,after all.”

“N-No, it’s okay,” you responded, cursing the stammer thatleft your lips. You inhaled gently.

“Take your time,” Gaara told you gently, covering your handwith one of his own as a comforting gesture. It did its job, and soothed yousomewhat.

“I’m blind in one eye,” you clarified, and Gaara noddedunderstandingly as he listened intently. “I don’t show people. I don’t wantanybody to think of me differently for it. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier.”

“Don’t apologise,” Gaara reassured you. “This doesn’t changemy opinion on you, Y/N. You’re very close to me, and nothing can change that.”

“Thank you, Gaara,” you said with a smile, feeling as thougha huge weight had been lifted from your chest.

“I’m pregnant.”

The words echoed in Gaara’s head, over and over again. He couldhear them so clearly, in his significant other’s nervous yet gentle voice. He triedto mull things over, but he was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t seem to figureanything out.

“You’re going to be afather.”

Gaara didn’t know if he was ready. He hadn’t had a fathergrowing up, not really – not an active one. So, how was he supposed to knowwhat to do? He couldn’t be a suitable father for his child. The child wouldhate him. These harmful thoughts swam around Gaara’s brain as he made thejourney to Konoha. He had to talk to Naruto about this.

The journey to Konoha was an uneventful one, for which Gaarawas very thankful. Although, with thoughts of his partner at home without him,his stress levels were by no means low.

As the unexpected visitor reached Konoha, he sighed. He didhope Naruto wasn’t busy, and regretted not declaring his trip before hedeparted. He wouldn’t want to be an inconvenience to his friend, who wasusually busy, and played an important role in the maintenance of his village. SinceGaara was a kage himself, he understood how irritating it could be when anunforeseen visitor showed up on a particularly hectic day.

Gaara chewed on his lip as he was escorted to Naruto’soffice, more anxious thoughts clouding his head. With a tentative tap on thedoor, Gaara stepped into the round, well-lit room that was the younger man’sworkplace.

Naruto stood instantly, a wide grin showing on his face. “Gaara!I wasn’t expecting you.”

“It’s been a while,” Gaara smiled back, his nervesimmediately calmed by Naruto’s enthusiastic nature.

“What can I do for you?” Naruto asked, and Gaara approachedthe desk which Naruto was stood behind.

After a moment, Gaara spoke up again. “I was wondering ifyou could give me some advice on something.”

Naruto would have expected the situation to be the other wayaround; it wasn’t uncommon for him to request guidance from the moreexperienced kage, but it was rare that Gaara needed something from him.Nonetheless, Naruto was more than happy to help his friend.

“What’s up?” Naruto asked cheerfully.

Before speaking, Gaara took a deep breath. There was no wayto explain the situation without stating it outright, and he didn’t want todance around the subject, but he hadn’t quite come to terms with the news yet,and the words were difficult to say. He closed his eyes briefly. “Y/N ispregnant.”

Naruto gave Gaara a hearty pat on the back, clearly unableto read Gaara’s sober mood. “Congratulations! You’re gonna be an amazing dad.”Naruto was beaming, but it only increased Gaara’s nerves.

“That’s what I’m worried about,” Gaara confessed. “Will I bea good father?”

“Of course,” Naruto replied, sounding certain on the matter.

“I’m not so sure,” Gaara said, his voice carrying sombretones. “What if they don’t bond with me? What if they don’t love me?”

“Gaara. You’re one of the most sensible and caring people I know.You have nothing to worry about, the kid’s going to love you. Trust me,” Narutotried to set his friend’s mind at ease, placing a hand on his shoulder.

“Thank you for your reassurance,” Gaara said sincerely. “But…I’m not convinced. Being a father – is that the right option for me?”

“Only you can answer that,” Naruto responded thoughtfully. “But,let me tell you, when my kids were born… the feeling is indescribable. Childrenare the best gift in the world, I promise you.” The expression on Naruto’s facewas perhaps more elated than Gaara had ever seen him before, which was a feat. Hefelt significantly calmer about the situation.

“I really think you should talk it over with Y/N,” Narutorecommended. “This is something the two of you should discuss together.”

Gaara nodded, feeling foolish for running from the villageafter hearing the news. “You’re right.”

“Why don’t we go out for dinner tonight, and we can talkmore? It’s my treat,” Naruto offered.

“I would appreciate that. Thanks a lot,” Gaara smiled.

“Not at all,” Naruto replied, giving his friend a broadgrin.

Naruto

Naruto is constantly going on about his s/o topractically anyone who’ll listen, he’s so incredibly happy to have someone aswonderful as them that he’ll use any excuse he can to bring them up inconversation.

Whenever he sees his s/o again after being awayfrom them for a long period of time, they’re always greeted with a bonecrushing hug.

Naruto is incredibly talented when it comes tocheering up his s/o if they’ve had a bad day, no matter the circumstance healways knows just what to say to make them laugh.

His s/o should prepare themselves for an immenseamount of PDA.

Itachi

Itachi really enjoys cooking for his s/o, hesurprises them with breakfast in bed every now and then.

He also enjoys spoiling his s/o, always offeringto pay the bill when they go out together and never taking “no” for an answer.Should Itachi’s s/o see something in a shop window they like the look of he’lldo his upmost to get it for them.

Itachi is very prone to offhanded compliments,telling his s/o that they look beautiful at least three times a day.

He always remembers anniversaries and birthdays.

Obito

Obito always makes sure his s/o is never bored,he’s partial to entertaining them by rambling on for hours and hours or byshowing off some of his ninja skills.

He’s incredibly good at keeping conversationsgoing with his s/o even when they should’ve shrivelled up and died hours ago.

Obito always goes above and beyond when it comesto gift giving, he always manages to get the exact thing his s/o wants, theydon’t even need to drop any hints.

He blushes bright red at any form of PDA, if he won’t stop talking initiatingPDA is a 100% reliable method of shutting him up.

The idea of being alone with his child for thefirst time would make Gaara incredibly nervous, he’d be scared of accidentally hurtingor upsetting his child.

He would most likely let them get on withwhatever it is they wish to do, play with their toys, climb on the furnitureetc.

To begin with he’d only intervene when it lookedas though his child was liable to hurt themselves, as their time aloneprogressed however he’d end up reacting more and more to his child, becoming gradually more comfortable with the idea of it being just the two of them.

When his child begins to get bored of playingwith toys and starts to take a greater interest in Gaara himself, Gaara discoversthat a great way of entertaining them is to create sand sculptures. Hischild loves this so much that it becomes the go to method for calming them downwhenever they’re upset in the future.

Every time his child smiles or makes a silly facial expression at him, Gaara responds in a similar fashion, his child finds this incredibly amusing and Gaara thinks their reaction is adorable.

After this first time being alone with hischild, the nerves Gaara had in the beginning about being left in charge would melt away and he’d requestto be left alone with them more often.

Shino would be more than willing to help you get over yourfear of bugs, and would be very pleased that you were prepared to try for him.He would begin by assuring you that you could always back out if things got toomuch for you, and if you wanted to leave, then that was perfectly fine. He wouldwant your happiness and safety to be the top priority, and wouldn’t want you toleave your comfort zone too much.

Before introducing you to any bugs, Shino would educate youabout them. He would teach you about their role in the ecosystem, as well astheir many battle techniques, so that you could see how important their role inthe world was.

At first, Shino would introduce you to some of his moregentler bugs, and ones with less negative connotations, such as butterflies, orladybugs. He would know that you’d find aesthetic value in these bugs, andwould think this may help you become more comfortable around them.

He would introduce you to the bugs personally, telling youtheir names and explaining their quirks and personalities, so that they wouldn’tseem so scary. He’d believe that this would help you understand that the bugswere not menaces, and were not out to get you.

Shino would make sure to praise you once you pass everyboundary, and wouldn’t hide his pride.

With Shino’s calming presence, and all of the preparationthe two of you had been through together, you would eventually be able tohandle any bug, big or small, even the ones you had previously been terrifiedof.

Iruka isn’t the type to get into bed with someone he justmet, and it would take him a while to prepare himself for being intimate in arelationship, and he would expect you to wait patiently. He is rather shy inthe bedroom for the first few times, and he isn’t the type to enjoy casualnudity; sex and bathing are the only time he’ll take his clothes off. Iruka israther shy when it comes to these things.

Iruka will get incrediblyfrustrated with you if you leave any marks on his tanned skin duringlovemaking. He will groan in annoyance, temporarily distracted with thoughts of‘How will I hide this tomorrow?’ Althoughhe can’t deny how much he loves the feeling of his partner scratching, biting,or suckling on his skin.

Although Iruka has moments of dominance, most of the time heprefers to take a submissive role in the bedroom. The trust he would feel forhis partner would mean he has no worries about handing himself over to themcompletely. He wishes to feel their control, and would be drowned in pleasurewhen his partner dominates him.

Aftercare is very important for Iruka. He cherishes thetimes after intimacy that are filled with cuddling and sweet words. He is alsofond of a relaxing shared bath, if possible.

Deidara

Deidarawould be cool with pretty much anything, but preferably somewhere public soeveryone can see him and his significant other together (he’d want to show themoff).

If himand his date were to go see a movie it would have to be one with a lot of actionand explosions otherwise he’d get bored and start complaining about how it’sabsurd that movie making of all things is considered an “art form”.

Alternatively,if they were to take a walk through a park somewhere together there’s a highchance he’d want to make a good first impression by showing off his explosivetalents in an attempt to wow his date.

Startswith him denoting a few small clay creatures.

Endswith seven injured passers-by, a lot of damage done to the local foliage andone very unimpressed park attendant.

Hidan

A firstdate with Hidan would begin with an attempt from him to persuade his date intopreforming a sacrifice to Jashin with him, once that idea is debunked howeverhe’d settle for anything providing it doesn’t fall under his definition of “boring”.

Unfortunately Hidan’s idea of “boring” covers a wide majority of things 

He might enjoy going to a concertwith his date, as long as it’s agenre of music that allows him to scream as loudly as he wishes.

Anylocation that is okay with a weird grey-haired immortal raising his voice tocomplain about something or preach the word of a religion no one’s heard ofbefore every ten minutes and isn’t “boring” by said weird grey-haired immortal’s standards is an instant go to for any date with him.

Kakuzu

Kakuzuisn’t about to splash out on someone he’s only just now going on a first date with.

It’s verylikely him and his date will end up doing something rather cheap such as justgoing on a walk together or to an eating/drinking establishment somewhere that won’t make a hole in his wallet.

Him andhis date are also very likely to engage in a long conversation at some point inthis first date as Kakuzu would want to get a good sense of whether or not thisperson is worth his time.

Shouldhis date annoy him in any way at all he’s gone, and he’s leaving them to payfor any bill he may have left.

Itachi Uchiha

Itachi islikely to take his partner to a small, peaceful café somewhere on their firstdate and he’d insist on paying for everything his date orders.

Regardlessas to how his date behaves he would be very calm and relaxed throughout theevent, he’d listen (with genuine interest) to them talk for hours about whateverthey want and would make mental notes of everything.

He’s alsolikely to walk his date home, prolonging their date a little bit more.

Alternatively,a first date with Itachi may mean a home cooked meal courtesy of the man inquestion, whatever they end up doing Itachi will probably find some enjoymentin it, so long as it’s not something too extreme or in a location too loud.

Konan

Konan probably wouldn’t have a preferred place to go or thing to do, she’d be content so long as the person she’s with is happy.

Preferably not somewhere too loud or obnoxious though, maybe to a restaurant or to see a romance movie of some sort.

If her and her date were to go to a fancy restaurant or establishment of the like she’d wear her best attire.

Regardless as to what her partner does Konan will approach their date together with a calm, friendly attitude, she’ll just want to have an enjoyable time with her date and in turn, want her date to have an enjoyable time with her.

Sasori

Sasoriwould probably wish to do two things on a first date:

The firstbeing taking his date to an art gallery, should they encourage his passion thenhe’ll talk none stop about which art pieces he finds truly beautiful and whichhe thinks are complete trash. He’ll make his opinions very clear.

The secondbeing finding a place where he and his date can simply talk for a while,communication and gauging what his partner is truly like would be key for him.

Sasori wouldmake sure his date was completely aware of his feelings towards them from theget go, if he does want a serious relationship with them he’ll want to get onwith it and if he doesn’t he won’t want to waste either of their time.

requests are still closed, sorry!! the ask box is really full right now, but hopefully it won’t take too long to clear out!! we’ll make an announcement when it’s open again~

You had never felt nerves like this before. The feeling inyour heart was more than nerves; it was complete and utter panic. You had heardthat Sasuke was going to abandon the village, and you had turned runningimmediately, desperate to find him before he left you. You hadn’t taken thetime to pick up a coat to protect you from the evening’s chill, but this didn’tbother you. You hardly felt it. Despite the biting breeze, your palms werecoated with perspiration, and a hot, dizzy feeling swept through your head.

The paved streets of your home village blurred under yourvision as you raced through them, not focusing on any of it. Your heart raced,and you felt as though you would never stop running. Until your eyes caughtsight of him.

His silhouette was as recognisable as ever, or perhaps itwas only recognisable to you, as you had seen it so many times. You tried tocall out his name, but your dry throat only permitted you to gasp. He must havesensed your presence though, as he stopped walking, and turned his head ever soslightly towards you.

“Sasuke,” you finally managed a whisper.

“Y/N,” he spoke after an eternity had passed, or at least that’show it felt to you. “I knew you would come looking for me.” His voice didn’t soundparticularly emotional at all, although you could tell how scared he was. To mostpeople, Sasuke was unreadable, but you could figure him out easily.

“You can’t be serious. You can’t leave the village.” Even toyour own ears, you sounded broken, and it mirrored how you felt insideperfectly.

Sasuke turned around fully, and took a few steps closer toyou. Your breath hitched, and you had to fight the tears in your eyes fromstaining your cheeks.

“I have to go,” he insisted, although you could tell he didn’ttruly want to leave.

“No. You have tostay,” you argued, adamant that you wouldn’t let him go.

He shook his head. “There’s nothing for me here, Y/N.”

“There’s me. I… I love you, Sasuke.” As the words left yourlips, even you were startled. You didn’t plan on revealing your true feelingsto him, but somehow, they had escaped anyways.

His muscles visibly tensed instantly after your confessionmet his ears, and his shock was evident. He looked away from you for the firsttime. His voice was hardly above a murmur, but his words echoed throughout yourhead. “I feel the same way.”

The air seemed to leave your lungs, and you simply gazed athim in the moonlight, waiting for his dark eyes to meet yours once again.

“I’ll come back for you. No matter what,” he promised, hisvoice sounding determined, and with that, he was gone.

You remained still as you watched him leave, too shocked togo after him, and too shocked to fight. A silent tear rolled down your cheek.You would wait for him.

Iruka stifled a yawn as he pushed open the door to the househe shared with you. The door wasn’t locked, which would usually indicate thatyou were still waiting up for him – but this concerned Iruka, as it was quicklyapproaching midnight. Although he felt flattered, and certainly glad to seeyou, Iruka didn’t like it when you stayed awake to wait for him. It worried himthat you were missing out on sleep, just for him. He would have gotten homesooner if he could have, but things were busy at the academy, and he really couldn’ttear himself from his work even a minute sooner than he did.

Iruka locked the door behind himself, and made his waytowards the lounge in your house. His lips were parted, ready to greet youtiredly, but he was cut short. He closed his mouth, and, as exhausted as hewas, his face stretched into a loving smile at the sight of you.

It was evident that you had fallen asleep by mistake; youwere in an upright position, and your head was resting on your palm. Iruka shookhis head, but walked over to you nonetheless. He pressed a gentle kiss to yoursmooth forehead, and shook your shoulder gently.

“Y/N,” Iruka spoke quietly. “Come to bed.”

You awoke with a confused jolt, but were met with Iruka’sface in front of yours, his expression soft and caring. He wrapped an armaround your frame as he led you to the bedroom you shared, and you fellgracefully into the bed. After a few moments of loneliness while Iruka gothimself ready for bed, you were greeted with your boyfriend once again, whopulled you closer to him, and enclosed you in his arms. You eased back intoyour peaceful sleep with a small smile on your face.
