Time to meet the parents! [During the summer holidays at Kushina's house. Open to anyone who'd be there, I guess :)]

"Uhm... Well, I just guess... Iah... Nobody in taekwondo, of the other few girls, have, y'know. Wide hips. Or ass. They're, well, more slender... I just... Though It was supposed to be like that, I guess..."

"That's because they're too skinny," Minato decided, with a disapproving look. "You're strong. So you're built.." he waved his hands trying to find the right word "powerfully."

The blush grew a bit more prominent, and she couldn't help but grin. "That's what André said, too."

Minato's face visibly fell. "Uhm.. is that.. another ex-boyfriend?"

She laughed, now. "No, silly! That's my brother."

...phew.
"Well, he's right, at any rate. You're.. well.. uhm, you.." he blushed a little. "You can tell how hard it is for me to keep away from you. Uhm. You're. Gorgeous."

... There, he took her completely by surprise.She just... Stared.

"Uhm... Kushina? Did I.. was that wrong?"

The blush traveled nearly all the way down to her chest, as she looked down. "Uhm, Iah.. Just... No-one's said that before..."

Oh...
"Well... I better tell you a lot more, then? You're the.. uhm. Hottest. Girl. I ever saw."

"Eeh..." a shy smile, still blushing like mad. "But you're th pretty one... Uhm... Handsome, I guess you say with guys."

"Unless you wanna tell me that I look like a girl - which I do - it's handsome, yeah," he teased. "But really. No. You're.. uhm." He waved his hands again trying to find the right words, unconsciously outlining her full figure. "Voluptuous. Gorgeous. Really."

"... Volu-wha?" that look of pure incomprehension took over her face.

"Er.. y'know? Full.. like, curvy?"

"Oh." a small grin. "Well... Glad you think so." still blushing as she put on fresh underwear.

"You're perfect, anyway. Don't change. If you get skinny I'll start force feeding you. Not that I need to, your mum will," he was rambling a little, pleased that he seemed to have said something OK to her. Girls always fussed over their bodies, he knew. Dangerous territory.

A small grin, a kiss, and she went into the bedroom again, to put on some clothes. "Yep, she will."

He trailed after, drying his hair and checking out her ass before she put clothes back on. "If you were skinny, you couldn't kick as hard," he remarked.

"Mm. Like when I finally got your ribs," she smiled fondly at the memory of that training session. His side had been bruised for two weeks or so.

"You sound a little too happy at that," he groused, massaging his ribs at the memory. "As if one operation wasn't enough... you just want to maim me.."

"I was just proving to you that I'm fast enough. I can do it again." she grinned.

"I'm faster now," he raised an eyebrow. "Dattebane."

"so'm I," she told him, nudging his side. "and get a move on. You gotta get downstairs and meet him!"

"I thought you liked me just lounging around being naked," he teased, though he was blushing.

She chuckled. "It can wait 'till evening." a promising wink his way, then she - as quickly as possible - ran a brush through her hair.
