bbsunshine is growin up yall

[aflashoffaith]

[There's probably something significant and heartfelt he should be saying today. It is, after all, the birthday of his only son, a day that... well.

A lot of things happened.

BUT that's more Kushina's thing really, she'd know the encouraging mushy stuff to say and he'd rather leave that to her. So-

Gather round children, daddykage has a giant stack of ramen vouchers to hand out.]

Comments

[willoffire]

[ aoisfhg ramen vouchers THIS IS WHY HE'S THE BEST DAD. Have a Naruto---

No, okay, have twenty. Maybe they're all clones but dad never said he couldn't snag a few extra vouchers, right? Right???

But okay he's gonna sneak a hug in too. Shh. He's totally manly. Like dad.

Not even gonna cry, see? ]

[aflashoffaith]

[RIGHT. He definitely understands an Uzumaki mind... that's why there's a MOUNTAIN of vouchers. Because he knows Naruto (and probably Kushina too, if we're being honest) will stuff as many as he can into his pockets.

DADDY KNOWS YOU RASCALS.

There's an equally as manly return hug though, and a hair ruffle. They grow so fast ;;]

[willoffire]

Daaad! [ glkasdhg hair ruffle. SO UNCOOL. Except he's still grinning. Whatever, no angsty teenagers here. ]

Man, you got so many! [ Peering over dad's shoulder. Kinda vaguely fixated on dem vouchers. Yep. ] I guess you came prepared, heh.

[kuramaless]

[Ramen vouchers. For Ichiraku's? This totally beats his university birthday party to himself!]

Mum ain't hidin' anywhere to steal those, right?

[aflashoffaith]

[Indulge him a little huh? He doesn't get to embarrass you much anymore.]

A ninja should always be prepared, hm?

[But he does stop the ruffling, hand moving to Naruto's shoulder instead.]

Happy Birthday, Naruto.

[aflashoffaith]

She might be.

[He'd stashed a few away for her, but it was really just a matter of time before she'd show up all shiny eyed over the sheer amount of free ramen.]

Guess you should take what you want now.

[willoffire]

[ Well, if you weren't dead... ] Damn straight! Especially a Hokage!

[ Even a dead one? No okay, he'll stop. Managing not to look to wibbly and touched at the last part. ] Mn. Thanks.

...

But now you've gotta come eat some ramen with me, y'know! It's only fair.

don't mind screwy icons doot doot doo

[aflashoffaith]

[That does put a damper on things, yes. Sorry about that whole killing himself thing.]

I'd love to.

[Because it's the simple things, like taking his son out for dinner, that Minato misses (and regrets) the most.]

Just try not to use all your vouchers at once.

its mini so theyre amazing eitherway

[willoffire]

[ KILLJOY?? No, it's okay it was for a good cause. ] Aww, yeah! Awesome! Let's go, right now!

[ What is patience? He's an Uzumaki. Tugging his father along lalala. Yep. Then a pause. Glancing back. ] I won't.

But if I did then it doesn't matter. You got more, right?

at least a making out one didn't pop up. awkward.

[aflashoffaith]

[Can he claim being used to this too? He just follows along at the tugging, doesn't even try to resist.]

You don't want to make yourself sick on your birthday, do you?

[Though... he doubts that's really possible.]

THOSE KEYWORDS ARE VERY RELEVANT WOW

[fervidity]

[Kushina's all for saying mushy stuff but right now is derpy ramen voucher handing out time and steamers and some large cake she's probably made over yonder.

But she's eyeing those vouchers VERY CLOSELY. Just in case there's leftovers for her to snag.

IN THE MEANTIME a party popper pops and sends confetti everywhere!]

[goninjagoninjago]

[And here be some dude who's just gonna hang back here. Watch the birthday festivities, look at how happy Naruto is, and just generally bask in the good will. Way too little of that in their world.]

YAY RAMEN DAY UZUMAKI HOLIDAY

[aflashoffaith]

[YAY LOUD NOISES AND CAKE AND BITS OF PAPER STUCK EVERYWHERE

This is definitely a day to celebrate, and not... think of other things.]

I have some for you, too.

[A little quietly, a little amused. He sees where dem eyes are lookin gurl]

[aflashoffaith]

[He trusts Naruto to bring about a time where celebrating and enjoying each others company will be a little more common. Even if he won't really see it... it's not just his family that he wishes for something better.]

It's nice to see you again.

[Sincerely. Kumo and Konoha may not have been allies in Minato's age but he always liked you, B.

He's glad, too, for the help you've given his son.]

NINJA HOLIDAY WACHU TALKIN BOUT

[fervidity]

[COLORFUL PAPER!

yeah no other things ever nope.

Kushina grins sheepishly though. Hubby knows her best, doesn't he.]

It's not my birthday though. Those are for Naruto.

[definitely forcing herself to look away and focus on celebrations]

WORLDWIDE HOLIDAY

[aflashoffaith]

I don't think he'll miss just a few.

[After all he'd never heard you scream like that before okay, momma deserves a little treat too.

And it's their son's like tenth sixteenth birthday, errybody gets presents!!!

quickly sneaking a few into her pocketand maybe copping a feel uhuhuhuhu datflash]

UNIVERSAL HOLIDAY; lmao i only have sexy icons sob

[fervidity]

[bb you indulge her so much no wonder she wins all the arguments

She gives him an Uzumaki grin.]

Just a few then. He wouldn't be here without us, right?

[Though she doesn't notice him giving her vouchers she DOES notice touchy touchy.

/blushuuuu

YOU CANT GET AWAY she grabs the arm of that naughty hand and tugs him closer]

Or without us being together. [TOGETHER.]

lmao HOW SCANDALOUS

[aflashoffaith]

[ahaha... caught yellowred-handed.]

I don't think he needs all the details, Kushina.

[He likes where your mind is going though, maybe after the ramen induced coma they can sneak off /ok]

Doesn't seem so long ago though, does it?

[They did kind of get to just skip ahead a few years, maybe it doesn't count.]

ONLY GOOD FOR SMUT NOW

[fervidity]

[still blushing so YEAH but that grin is very mischievous]

It's fun embarrassing him though.

[HAVE TO FIND OTHER WAYS because exploiting sex life is totes embarrassing for her too. except when it's Minato]

Yeah. [rubs her stomach a bit, looking down at it softly and remember how she was swollen with unborn child

then she grins widely again]

This time my stomach should be big from ramen instead.

[kuramaless]

Heh.

[Forget the vouchers for a moment, he's just launching himself at you, Dad!]

I better take 'em all right!?

[aflashoffaith]

[Uzumaki tackles are his favorite ♥

Have all the hair ruffles and shoulder pats and big hugs kiddo.]

Might be the best idea.

[kuramaless]

[All the Uzumaki tackles for you!

His hands drop away the moment he feels a hand on his shoulder, and he lets them swing at his sides for a few moments, looking up with a huge grin.]

You gonna have some too?

THAT'S ALL SHE WAS GOOD FOR BE- well and sammiches

[aflashoffaith]

Some things should be private, I think.

[It embarrasses him too okay. But he'll never turn down an opportunity to be frisky huhuhuhu.

The ramen comment gets a small laugh out of him but...]

We could always have more.

[SINCE FUCK YOU FLOATING AROUND IN HEAD SPACE.]

You were quite adorable when you were pregnant, Kushina. But gorging on ramen sounds like a good plan, for now.

[aflashoffaith]

Of course. We are celebrating today, after all.

[kuramaless]

[Can this smile get any brighter?]

Hell yeah! Er, I mean - yeah. C'mon!

[aflashoffaith]

[HE CAN LET THE LANGUAGE SLIDE... it is your birthday and all.]

After you.

[goninjagoninjago]

[The smile takes a little while before it shows, as Bee was honestly not really a hundred percent certain if Minato would be glad to see him or not. But when it comes, it comes genuinely.]

Could say the same to you too, Mister Flash~. Been a while since I've seen you... less so since I've seen your likeness.

[He nods to the other scraggy-haired blond...s... man did the kid go Bunshin-crazy or what?]

the perfect waifu. sex and sammiches

[fervidity]

[the yellow flash is NOW PERVY NAME flashin kushina

BLUSH. NO Slgkjdg not adorable hnn now you're embarrassing HER]

I-I wasn't! [besides isn't she adorable all the time hmm?

HMMMMMMMMM?]

The only way I was adorable was because I had a baby Naruto inside me.

[and he's adorable. that makes sense :I

GORGING ON RAMEN IS ALWAYS A GOOD PLAN. BIG GRIN. and man laugh]

[aflashoffaith]

[Completely busted fourth wall in this place aside...

This Minato has been around a bit, has had the good fortune of spending time with his son (several of them), and knows a great deal about Naruto's life and the things that have happened in his absence. Changes in the shinobi world could happen in an instant, enemies became allies, allies became enemies, and nothing was ever really guaranteed- he didn't dare presume that what he once knew still held weight.

There were very few grudges Minato held in life, and now, in death. Naruto trusts and respects you Bee, that's all he really needs to know.]

He's a bit hard to miss, hm? Takes after Kushina in that regard...

[There's pride in his sheepishness though, having another wild Uzumaki around is pretty much the greatest thing ever to him.]

perfect husbando offers the same services

[aflashoffaith]

[Definitely adorable ALL THE TIME.

Just supa kawaii when all chubby and waking him up at 4am for ramen and strawberries and babbling about crazy hormone induced dreams and wiggling her toes at him for a massage. All at the same time.

She'd never been more beautiful to him than when she was flushed and grinning, chattering excitedly without leaving him a hope of joining in about their son. Best time of his life. /sap]

Is that how it worked? I guess with the both of you the adorable factor may have gone up a bit.

[IT'S FUN TO GET YOU ALL FLUSTERED LITTLE LADY]

the perfect couple then

[fervidity]

[Or when they were out walking around in those rare moments to themselves and even when Kushina got so much as a WHIFF of Ichiraku she was grabbing him by the hand and leading him in that direction for a bowl despite eating it every day otherwise.

OKAY. YES FLUSTERED. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. that icon is sorta blushy sh]

H-Hey, seriously! I wasn't that adorable, ya know! Naruto is still a lot more cute than I am!

[where is he so she can pinch his cheeks and stuff

and then his ear when he has no manners when eating his bday foods]

[goninjagoninjago]

[Were Bee aware of Minatos reasoning, he could possibly have been a little bit more open about his own feelings on the matter: namely that Minato was one of the few who had come close to actually killing him, and as such had been the subject of a massive man-crush on Bee's behalf. A eventually had to forcibly make Bee stop including lines on how the Yellow Flash had totally outrun A into his raps simply because it was getting downright embarrassing to have to hear his brother praise an 'enemy'.

But hey, that's Bee's perspective for you. An ever curious combination of detachment and boundless passion- it was like he had decided long ago that all this village-rivalry was a bunch of ostentatious, ridiculous nonsense, a big joke that everyone else was secretly in on even if they would never admit it, hoping that one day... one day, he'd find someone who thought the same.]

Heh. Guess since me and the Spicy Habanero never got to figure out who was the baddest between the two of us, the Orange Surprise will have to be next best thing~.
