Naruto wasn’t the kind to brood over the
things he COULDN’T change, but that day,
he really wished he was born into a family
of a a higher status.
It was the princess’ birthday & the entire
castle workforce was involved in the
preparations for the grand ball that was
to take place later that evening. Not that
he cared much for BALLS. No, he was
more concerned about the princess, &
how likely it was that she would find a
SUITOR that evening. & the thought
made an uneasy feeling settle deep into
his gut.
He knew that he should be HAPPY for her, should
be rooting for her. But the very idea of the roseate
ending up with some posh, pompous prick who
saw
her as nothing but an ASSET, seemed … wrong.
She deserved better. Did she even know
that the king & queen had arranged the
ball for that PURPOSE? Even if she did,
she deserved better. Did that mean he
thought he deserved her, of course not.
He knew his PLACE.
But that didn’t stop his heart from racing the

That didn’t stop his breathing from stilling. That

causing him to almost trip over his own feet
in surprise, FLINCHING slightly.
He rolled his eyes & nodded at the fellow guard
pouting slightly & SMACKING the brunet upside
the head as he saw her chuckle softly behind
her hand, before grabbing the brunet by the cuff
& dragging him away, pointedly ignoring the
princess. It wasn’t his fault that she was so
DISTRACTING. & yet, he couldn’t help but
give her a side glance as he walked away, he
couldn’t help but give her a sheepish grin. He
couldn’t help but give her a small nod, as if to
promise that he will RETURN. After all, he too
had made a gift for her. & unlike those nobles’,
he had put in an actual EFFORT into his.
& so he took his leave to help organize the
SECURITY arrangements, the inexplicable
feeling of having left a piece of him behind
nagging at him. & he knew DEEP inside,

Please read the following rules and thank you for taking your time to do it. I really appreciate it! I might add new rules if absolutely necessary in the future (also check out my PSAs if you can). And by the way, the Naruto I RP is usually 17 years old. But its flexible depending on the thread. I RP both narutoverse and AU versions of my muse. Naruto is bisexual/polysexual but that does NOT mean I ship him with everyone.
