"A panic attack?" You questioned quietly, wiping away tears.

The two of them nodded, and you sighed a sigh of relief. For a brief moment, it felt like you were actually back in that place; thank goodness you weren't.

You rubbed your face before looking up again, also noticing the puke next to you. Ew. You were about to stand when Naruto offered a hand. Too shy to take it, you stood up on your own. You turned to the old man and bowed, "I'm so sorry! I-I'll clean it up! P-Please don't be mad!"

"She just had a panic attack and that's what she's worried about?" Sakura whispered to Naruto, who nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry about it," he assured you, "You should go home and get some rest."

You bowed again, "T-Thank you..." you said a little shakily.

Naruto walked over and put some money on the counter before going back over to you, "Let's go home," he gave his signature smile.

Home... I've never really had one of those. Is this for real?

When the two of you arrived,you realized just how tired you really were, you wanted to go to bed right then and there but you knew you should probably change (and shower) and return Naruto's jacket.

Naruto walked into the living room and you trailed behind him. It was a little cold in the apartment, so you tugged your sleeves over your hands and turned to see if the window had been left open. You were greeted by a face peering in through the window. You shrieked, falling down in the process.

Naruto was by your side in a second, "What's wrong? Do your wounds hurt?"

You shook your head and Naruto followed your gaze to the window before he chuckled and walked over to the window.

"Hey Bushy Brows," Naruto smiled.

"Hello Naruto! Hello (Y/n)! My deepest apologies for startling you."

"I-It's okay."

You nodded, watching as he turned to Naruto, "Naruto, I have come to ask if you would like to train with me tomorrow!"

"Sure, I guess." Naruto turned to you, "You can come if you want, (Y/n)."

You have a silent nod and Naruto smiled.

"Well," Lee said, "I shall be going now! With the power of youth!"

Then he disappeared into a blur of green. You directed your gaze at Naruto, and tilted your head to the side in a questioning manor. Naruto simply chuckled, "Yeah, he's a little strange, but he's a good guy."

You nodded.

Naruto was about to leave but you wanted to ask about using his shower.

"N-Naruto?" You said, barely above a whisper.

He didn't hear you, so you reached for his arm, fingertips barely brushing against him before you retracted your hand and took a step back. You cringed about the contact.

"Hm?" He replied.

"D-Do you mind if I u-use your shower?"

"Nah, not at all." He hgave you a smile, "I'll be in my room if you need anything."

You gave a silent nod and watched him disappear into his room.

Once he left you gathered what you needed and went into the bathroom to take a shower. It would feel so refreshing to shower after today.
