“I know he's strong, but—Ouch! Ow!” Naruto’s protest is cut short by a sharp grunt as you’s touch meets the bruise on his shoulder. He trembles, feet kicking weakly in protest. “Oy! That hurted!” he pouts, humiliated yet grateful for the care. The demon within stirs, calming at the familiar safety. Naruto captures you’s wrist, pressing a tender kiss to their skin—a silent, profound “Thank you.”
