Naruto got touchy when he was drunk. You knew this. You had witnessed this first-hand on multiple occasions. And yet-

You tried to be annoyed at him. You really did. But you had a very drunk Naruto resting your chin on his stomach, arms wrapped around one of his thighs, looking up at you with disoriented eyes and he just.

“C'mere"

you said reluctantly. Naruto instantly perked up and jumped directly on top of you. You had to try and suppress a groan at how painfully Naruto was squeezing you. His arms and legs intertwined with yours like an octopus. He rested his head on the dip where your neck and shoulder met, releasing a content sigh once he was comfortable.

You knew Naruto got clingy when he was drunk. More so than when he was sober. He was a very affectionate person in general, but it was amplified by a good tenfold when he got drunk. So, it shouldn't have come as a surprise when he suddenly placed a sloppy kiss on your neck, but it still made your heart skip a beat. You looked down at your best friend, still happily nuzzling your neck. It was a little difficult with the tight grip Naruto had on you, but you managed to free one of your hands, at least enough to place it on his head. Unlike Naruto who relished physical contact, you absolutely abhorred it. It irked you when people walked into your personal space. You struggled to show Naruto the same enthusiasm when it came to physical displays of affection. The alcohol however, helped you in this regard. Naruto was humming contently. He still kissed your neck every so often, but it didn't catch you off guard as it did before. You two were lying comfortably on your bed. The only sound at this hour was the tick tock of the clock on his wall.

Just when you were beginning to doze off, a hand crept its way under your shirt, resting heavily on your chest. You immediately snapped your eyes open.

"Naruto?"

you inquired. Because what? Naruto mumbled something unintelligible before sighing and muttering a low "you're warm"-voice muffled by your neck- and placed another kiss there, biting the skin playfully right after. You knew the way you two acted around each other was anything but platonic. But since Naruto passed the word "friend" all the damn time, you always brushed off these intimate displays as Naruto just being...Naruto. But at times, like right now, you found yourself questioning if Naruto sought physical contact from you for reasons beyond friendship. When Naruto bit down particularly hard on your neck, you yelped. Naruto started giggling, while sneaking his other hand under your shirt as well. He pushed the hem of your t-shirt with his head until it was hunched over your shoulder and placed a kiss right where your heart laid before making his way downwards. Naruto was--Naruto was--What exactly was Naruto doing?

Naruto continued his journey until he reached your navel. You were having a very hard time breathing, and you realized why, when you released a breath you hadn't known you were holding, when Naruto finally looked up at you. He had a glint of mischief in his eyes, at which you raised a skeptical brow. And then, Naruto bit you. Hard. Right beside your navel. Naruto hid his face on your stomach, shaking slightly from laughter. Without even looking up, he mumbled,

"you looked so worried, like I was going to push your pants down and eat you or something. And I just had to-"

The rest of his words were cut off by his own laughter.
