Trouble in Paradise [private, English, possible chocolate milk (I have no idea what's gonna happen.)]

"Only in your head." she muttered, futilely wiping at her eyes when the first tear tried to escape.

"How'm I supposed to act on things any other way than they are in my head? I.. I told you I'm fucked up, that hasn't changed much as I wanted it to," he said bitterly to Kushina's carpet.

"I don't care whether you're fucked up or not, you know that."

"It doesn't feel right that I can.. do that, and you.. don't even seem to care. I know I told you I'd be up for another guy if you wanted it but... but it isn't right."

Another wipe at another tear. "I... Just... If, if ya're gonna... B-break up, 'ttebane... Just... Just promise we can still be friends? I... Don't wanna lose you. Not again. I couldn't stand not speaking to you."

He just sat there and sighed. "I'm.. I don't wanna break up. I just don't see how this can go well..."
After a minute, he started fumbling in his pocket, brought out a small box and handed it to her. "I got you this. You can.. keep it if you want it, or.. I dunno."

When she saw that, she froze, just staring at it. Was it.... Really? He'd.... Already gone that far...?

Then, very abruptly, the tears started really flowing, and she hugged him very tightly, muttering something, but the sobbing made it impossible to hear what it was.

Minato just held her, feeling.. kinda.. happy. It seemed she was grateful for this at least...

"I... I don't care hwhat you did. We'll. We'll work ppast it, somehow." she choked into his ear. "W-we could with the a-abortion, and... Oh goddammit, I love you so, 'Nato... Don't ever you friggin' dare leave me, 'ttebane." suddenly, the sobs turned into a growl right before she kissed him.

"Mmmmphh!" he.. uhm, argued. Or agreed. He.. didn't really get a chance to do anything else.

"I... I still wanna be with you." she muttered against his lips, sniffling. "Everybody makes mistakes. Big and small." a firm hold and squeeze of one of his hands.

Her speaking meant he got a chance to a) breathe and b) argue. He.. was kinda lost for arguments.
"I just... don't want.. don't want to not be able to do it right," said Minato quietly. "And.. and this sorta isn't. Right."

She sighed. "I know it isn't, 'Nato. I know." another squeeze of that hand. "But... Ya gotta make mistakes to learn, right?" she tried for a reassuring smile.

"This seems like a pretty massive mistake to me," he sighed. "Anyway. I'd.. I'd never just leave you alone again. Hell. Even if I did, Kakashi'd step up. He said that.... right after I punched him in the face..."

"Rather. After he woke up again, right?" she muttered. Yeah, of course she'd seen him faint a couple times after seeing his own blood. And she did know Minato was rather good at hitting 'jackpot'(aka; leaving at least a bloody nose) a the very few times he was pissed or likewise.

Then she sighed. "I know he would. But it'd only be to make me happy. It wouldn't be what he wants."

"I dunno what he wants," said Minato. Which was sort of a lie since... he did. A small blush coloured his face.

"Uhuh. He wouldn't have come onto you unless he really, really likes you."

"Yeah.. yeah, I get that." More blushing. "Damn... I really don't get it. I'm.. not a sex god or something." Sigh. "First Lily and now this..."

"... You're kind, honest, sweet... And, as I've pointed out so many times before," she poked his chest, "Very handsome."

"I'm short and skinny. And I've got weird hair. I'm not a sex god or rock god or anything."

"Not that skinny. The muscles are beginning to show." a weak smile. "And you'll probably grow some in the next few years. You still have that last growth spurt to hope for. And if you think you've got weird hair, you should've seen Kashi's before he got the fauxhawk."

"Yeah, but he's a rock star. A rich rock star. He can wear what he likes and look like he wants. I'm just a poor kid."

"I don't care about money, 'Nato."

"You might, once we're out of school. If I don't get a job to provide for you. Then you'd be.. much better off with someone who already had money."

She sighed. "We'll manage, 'Nato. If things keep going forward like they do now, I'll earn more than enough money myself. Don't think about the money."
