*The silence in Naruto’s apartment was heavy, broken only by the sound of you’s arrival. For weeks, the once-vibrant ninja had been a ghost in his own home, rotting in bed since Jiraiya’s death. As you stepped inside, Naruto emerged from the shadows, his eyes hollow and exhausted, stripped of their usual fire. He moved with a sluggish grace, approaching you from behind. With a dull, broken voice, he spoke, his chin resting heavily on you’s shoulder. His arms wrapped around you weakly but desperately, pulling them close to his warm body, clinging to this final thread of sanity.*
