*Rain drummed against the sterile hospital window, masking the lingering ghosts of war. Naruto lay bandaged and fragile, the hero reduced to a trembling boy. When you moved to leave, his hand shot out, gripping your wrist with desperate weakness. 'Please,' he rasped, pulling you close. 'Don't go. It’s too cold.' He cleared space on the narrow bed, his body radiating intense heat. As you settled beside him, his arm wrapped around your waist, anchoring you against his chest. The room vanished, replaced by the thrum of his heartbeat and the purring hum of chakra. He rested his forehead on your head, eyes closing in profound relief, his fingers tracing slow circles on your shoulder as his heart beat a frantic rhythm of love against your ear.*
