Daui/C

· Spending so much time together escorting the Raikage, Darui and C often find themselves in need of personal time when they’re off. Not that they don’t want to go out on dates or just relax together. They do that as well. But unless they’re out on a date together it’s unlikely to see them side by side when they’re off duty in the village. Spending their time instead with other friends, they know that at the end of the day they’ll be side by side again.

· When Darui is named as the next Raikage, C decides to celebrate with a picnic for two at their favourite spot in Kumo. The two of them end up having dinner, reminiscing about all of the missions they’ve gone on together and the things they’ve seen, and as they’re finishing up C looks at Darui and jokingly tells him “don’t forget the little people up in that big seat of yours”. Darui immediately leans over and kisses C, smiling at him when they pull apart and telling him “I could never forget Kumo’s best kisser, even if I tried.”

Darui never payed much attention to his soulmate mark. He had a lot on his mind, and training always took precedence. It wasn't that he wasn't interested in who his soulmate was. He just didn't have much time to think about his soulmate.

And then he was placed on a team with C. Expected to work beside him, and that was fine. Darui is great with people, and he got along right away with C.

Then one day, while they were guarding the Raikage, C took a bad hit from an Enemy. Not the norm, considering he's the medical ninja of the team and would often leave the major fighting to Darui, but Darui was there to help him out.

Taking a look at the injury on his arm, Darui stopped what he was doing suddenly and just stared. There, on C's shoulder right under his uniform, was a soulmate mark.

One that looked exactly like the one Darui had in the exact same spot.

Darui couldn't belive it. He had been working beside his soulmate for years, and he hadn't noticed. Hadn't even thought to ask him about his soulmate mark like he had heard others do.

He doesn't mention it to C. Doesn't know how. But he knows now, and he becomes a little more protecitve of his friend because of it. Determined to keep him alive.

Darui never actually tells C until the war. When they're standing there unsure if they're going to live. If this might be the last day they see each other.

He tells C about the day he saw his soulmate mark, and C laughs.
