#naruto men

Kakashi

- he sits up so fast, instantly wide awake

- he heard what?

- he wouldn’t be more surprised if someone attacked him in his sleep

- he starts wondering if he just imagined it because he wants it to be his name

- but then he hears it again, a little louder, a little longer

- congratulations, your voice has just engraved itself into his memory forever

- a thousand thoughts race through his mind, and he starts feeling a little feverish

- now he definitely has something to think about for the rest of the night

--------------------------------------------

Sasuke

- he smirks

- of course you would think about him. who else?

- he decides it's so obvious you have a crush on him

- completely ignoring the fact that he spent last week losing sleep over whether you felt the same way about him

- also, he can't stop smiling like an idiot

------------------------------------------

Shikamaru

- he almost misses it because he was already drifting off

- but then he hears it again and opens his eyes, confused

- is that what he thinks it is

- well, that changes a lot

- also, you're bold for doing that with nothing but a wall between you

- you must really want him

- as if he hadn't been falling asleep thinking about you every night lately

-------------------------------------------

Naruto

- he thinks you're calling for him and leaves his room without thinking

- just before knocking on your door, he realizes what's actually going on

- and freezes there with the dumbest expression on his face, suddenly feeling very, very hot

- he quietly sneaks back to his room, face burning, butterflies going wild in his stomach

- and immediately presses his ear against the wall, hoping to hear a little more

----------------------------------------------

Gaara

- he's not entirely sure what's happening, but hearing you say his name in that voice rewires something in his brain

- he feels like he was never supposed to hear that and gets unbelievably flustered

- he'll never admit it happened

- but he'll treasure that memory in his heart forever

-----------------------------------------

Kiba

- definitely unexpected, but more than welcome

- he'll absolutely ask you about it later

- he wasn't completely sure you liked him that way before, but now that it's been cleared up, he has no intention of wasting any more time

- also, that's incredibely hot

- when he thinks about it, why he shouldn't just join in from his own bed

------------------------------------------

Rock Lee

- did you just...? No, there's no way

- but then he hears it again, and this time it's unmistakable

- he desperately tries to think if you know any other Lee, but comes up with nothing

- he stands up, then sits back down

- he turns pale, then red, then pale again

- his heart starts pounding, his brain short-circuits

Kakashi

- if before he had some issues figuring out his feelings for you — NOW HE KNOWS

- jealousy hits him right in the gut

- he’s overwhelmed with a flood of feelings

- yes, he knew you’re beautiful, hot, smart, and cool

- so how could he not predict that someone besides him might develop an interest in you?

- and all of that in just a couple of seconds while he stands there with a poker face, watching you blush while this dude is waiting for your response

- also, he’s pretending he doesn’t see the guy throwing glances at him, suggesting he should back off

- no way he’s leaving you with him now

----------------------------------------------

Sasuke

- it’s kinda funny how his face changes when he hears that

- from his usual annoyed glare, through something between shock and fear, to a mix of cold anger and smugness

- because what is this little shit doing talking to you?

- also — is he blind? Doesn’t he see who’s there with you?

- mf UCHIHA

- you’re completely unaware of what’s going on in his mind because he, of course, never hints to you about his feelings

- so you’re understandably in shock when he doesn’t even let you answer and tells the guy to fuck off and never interrupt you two again

- even if before you were just standing there in silence, waiting for the rest of your training group

- the guy leaves quickly

- you ask him why he scared your potential date

- he hisses and tells you to focus on training, not dating

-----------------------------------------------

Shikamaru

- he sighs and backs off a little to give you some privacy

- you thought he’d say something? Nah

- you can go on your stupid date if you want to

- see if he cares

- he can’t stop thinking about it for the rest of the day

- and night too — no sleep for him because of your date, apparently

- he runs through different scenarios in his head, including you getting married to another man

- when you see him the next day, he looks rough and is annoyed as heck

----------------------------------------------

Naruto

- not only does he not back away, but he joins the conversation

- the guy trying to ask you out is hella confused

- he tries to give hints that he wants to spend time with you romantically, but Naruto doesn’t seem to catch on and is already planning to meet up with both of you

- walk in the forest? Cool, you could practice ninja skills together

- ramen? Oh my god, he’s in

- watching movies at this guy’s house? Fantastic, he’ll bring snacks

- he’s not dumb — just panicking because he wanted to ask you first!!

----------------------------------------------

Kiba

- for some reason, he starts acting like he’s your father

- asks the poor guy where he’ll take you, at what hour you’ll be home, what’s his family name and where he lives

- doesn’t seem to care you’re both adults

- he’s eyeing him with suspicion

- orders Akamaru to check the guy’s scent in case he might need to find him later

- that’s the last straw — the guy is spooked and runs away

- you’re confused and angry, but Kiba seems to be proud of himself

---------------------------------------------

Rock Lee

- you can hear his heart breaking

- he almost runs away

- but halfway there, he remembers you are the one for him and he should fight for you

- he understands it’s only his fault he still hasn’t confessed to you and you have every right to date whoever you want

- but now he’ll be training every day to be a better man for you in the future

----------------------------------------------

Gaara

- he didn’t know you could do that

- just come up to someone and ask them out

- he’s staring at you in shock and making mental notes

- and about this guy? Oh well

- he might as well disappear the next day, who knows

- he’s not serious though, he wouldn't do that

Kakashi

- he leaves early in the morning, probably out the window

- comes back with a small bouquet of wildflowers while you're still asleep and leaves it by your bed

- high-fives himself in his mind, admiring how beautiful you are and realizing you're his girlfriend

- he'll be back after work, you can be sure of that

- and he won’t keep his hands away from you — nope, there’s no return to your shy beginnings. From now on, you’ll have Kakashi glued to you

- in the evening, you'll be cooking together, and it'll be the sweetest

- with hugs from the back, kisses on the neck, slowly dancing in your kitchen...

- and round two afterwards, of course

------------------------------------------------

Sasuke

- his face turns red immediately when he sees you in the morning

- you love this shy version of him

- he tries to act cool and trips when leaving the room

- you see his ears become even redder

- he loses it again when you lean forward to kiss him

- he comes back with coffee for both of you, almost calm and collected

- you can tell you broke him a little — his heart racing, breath getting sharper, eyes hazy

- he stays close to you, looking at your mouth, wanting more

- and you can see he's ready for more

- so you give it to him

-------------------------------------------------

Gaara

- girl, you'll be getting love letters for days

- even if you two speak daily

- he wants to worship you, express his feelings in some way

- there's no chance he could focus on Kazekage paperwork. He’s wandering on the village walls all day, looking at the desert

- and when he sees you again, you can expect a lot of affection. And I mean a l o t

-------------------------------------------------

Shikamaru

- he's more tired than usual

- but he’s not as annoyed, and people are wondering what happened

- he didn’t even flinch when someone at work made a mistake

- everyone was shocked

- You can be sure he thought about you on every single one of his smoke breaks, with a smile on his face

------------------------------------------------

Naruto

- he tells everyone

- even Kurama who, you know, technically was there

- he's just so happy and full of feelings

- and wants to brag a little

- he thinks you're the most beautiful, cool, smart, and kind person in the entire world and he just had sex with you

- so he cackles every time he thinks about it

-----------------------------------------------

Kiba

- he won’t leave you alone now

- his eyes sparkle when he looks at you

- he demands praise all the time

- tell him he was a good boy and he’ll be in heaven

- he won’t shut up about your gorgeous scent and spends most of his time with his nose glued to your neck

- he touches you all the time — hand on your ankle when you're sitting next to him on the sofa, arm around you when you're going out together

- when he needs to leave you alone for a moment, he leaves Akamaru with you so he can guard you

------------------------------------------------

Rock Lee

- boy will be dazed for days

- his team needs to look after him because he got lost twice already

- all anyone could get out of him is your name

- he doesn’t even respond to Guy-sensei, which makes everyone worried, and they call you

- you explain indirectly, blushing

- they walk him home and leave him with you so you can take care of this mess of a man

- it seems you’re the only person he recognizes; he smiles at the sound of your voice

Kakashi

Y/N,

I’m incredibly sorry I left after you told me how you felt. I’ll understand if you never want to see me again.

I’m a coward, nothing more. I got scared and run away. Not because I don’t feel the same — but because I do.

If there’s still a chance to talk to you… please message me. Anytime.

And I’ll try to make everything up to you.

Yours,

Kakashi

--------‐-----------------------------------

Sasuke

I heard today that you’re leaving.

No, of course I won’t try to stop you. And I know damn well you’re too proud to confess anything to me.

I’ll never send this letter — so this paper will be the only one that knows the truth.

I realized a while ago that I love you.

At first, I thought it was just physical — I couldn’t take my eyes off you. Every time we touched, it felt like my skin was on fire. I couldn’t concentrate when you were around.

So I tried to isolate myself from you. And it only got worse.

I kept thinking about where you were — and with who.

Maybe you remember that one night when we ran into each other at a bar — I saw you laughing, looking beautiful, surrounded by men. I left immediately, even though you saw me and tried to call out.

I was afraid I’d lose it.

And then came the moment I’ll never forget — when your team was sent on a mission and I heard you’d been critically injured.

I don’t even remember what I said or did. My mind went blank, and somehow I got to the hospital.

I didn’t leave your bedside.

And I made everyone promise not to tell you I’d been there.

Since then, I’ve known: you’re my greatest weakness.

And I have a feeling you might feel the same.

I noticed how your face lit up when we talked. How you always picked the seat next to mine. How you asked my friends about me when I wasn’t around.

And I remember that long conversation, when you said you could never make the first move.

I suspected — maybe that was your first move.

And I let you down.

It was hard to watch your smile fade. But I thought it was better that way.

And now you’re leaving. I shouldn’t be surprised.

Maybe I should be glad I won’t have to see your future with someone else — I’m not sure I could take it.

I guess this is goodbye, even if you’re not supposed to read it.

Maybe someday I’ll stop thinking about you.

Sasuke

Found this letter and sent it to you. You’re both idiots.

— Naruto

---------------------------------------------

Shikamaru

Y/N,

I know everything. Ino told me.

She said I’d be a dumb fuck if I let a girl like you go.

Well… I agree.

And that’s the only reason I’m writing this.

I like you.

Y/N — I’m not a romantic. I thought you knew that. I don’t have much patience or experience with this kind of stuff. But if it’s that important to you — fine.

I think you’re smarter than most people in this village. I like being around you. You don’t annoy me — most of the time. And I think you’ve got a really nice ass.

Including the ass.

…I’m teasing. You’re beautiful.

What do you think? Did I do okay?

So if we could stop playing games, that’d be great. This whole thing is giving me a headache.

Then meet me after training.

Shikamaru

Gaara

(Written on official Kazekage letterhead)

Y/N,

After a few sleepless nights, I came to the conclusion that I need to write this letter.

It might surprise you, since I know I’m a reserved person — some even call me cold.

But that’s not exactly true.

At least, not when it comes to you.

I’m not sure I’m capable of expressing these thoughts properly, but I’ll try.

It’s difficult to put into words someone as extraordinary as you.

You are more than your beauty — though I’ve never seen anyone who could make a desert sunset look dull in comparison.

You are more than your intellect — though every time we speak, I learn something new, gaining a perspective I couldn’t see on my own.

You are more than your kindness — though I’ve never met someone as empathetic, generous, and thoughtful.

I love you the way night loves the moon.

I need you like a shadow needs the sun.

I’m forever yours,

Gaara

Naruto

Y/N,

IT’S SO STUPID THAT I CAN’T JUST SEE YOU.

I’m really not good at writing stuff like this.

But Sakura yelled at me and said I had to do it the right way.

Listen — when it comes to some things, I might not be the brightest.

I mean, yeah, I’m one of the greatest shinobi of all time, future Hokage, etc.

But turns out I can be completely blind when it comes to the stuff that actually matters — until it’s too late.

And by the stuff that matters, I mean you.

(Sasuke helped with that sentence. But I meant it.)

I can’t lose you. Now I see I took your friendship for granted. I missed all the signs, and I probably ruined my chance to be with you.

But I’m not giving up.

I’ll show you what it’s like to be adored by Uzumaki Naruto.

Sakura said I shouldn’t deliver this letter in person and should wait patiently for your reply.

…But I’m not listening, hehe.

See you soon, Beautiful.
