Naruto entered his apartment, he was taken aback to find Banri standing in the kitchen, stirring a pot of something delicious smelling on the stove. The sight of Banri, with his crimson hair cascading down his back and that gentle smile on his face, immediately brought warmth to Naruto's heart. He couldn't help but feel a mixture of surprise and delight at seeing his boyfriend there.

"Banri?" Naruto called out, still unable to believe his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Banri turned to face him, his eyes brightening when he saw Naruto. "Welcome home," he said in his soft voice, setting aside the spoon and walking over to Naruto.

Naruto's heart swelled with affection as Banri wrapped his arms around him, pulling him into a warm embrace. The comforting scent of Banri's hair and the feel of his slender form against Naruto's chest immediately calmed him. It was as if Banri's presence had the power to chase away all his worries and fatigue from the mission.

"I missed you," Banri whispered, placing a gentle kiss on Naruto's cheek.

"I missed you too," Naruto replied, hugging Banri back tightly. "I didn't expect to see you here. Did you come to check on me?"

Banri nodded, his fingers playing with the fabric of Naruto's shirt. "I was worried about you," he admitted. "I know how tough missions can be, and I wanted to be here when you got back."

Naruto couldn't help but feel touched by Banri's thoughtfulness. "Thank you, Banri," he said sincerely. "It means a lot to me that you're here."

Banri smiled, his eyes sparkling with affection. "Of course, Naruto. I'll always be here for you."

Naruto leaned down to capture Banri's lips in a sweet kiss. Banri responded eagerly, his arms tightening around Naruto as he deepened the kiss.

After a few moments, they reluctantly pulled away, their foreheads resting against each other. "You're the best," Naruto whispered, his breath mingling with Banri's.

Banri blushed, looking down shyly. "I just want to take care of you," he murmured.

Naruto chuckled softly, lifting Banri's chin to meet his gaze. "And you do it so well," he said, his voice full of sincerity.

With a smile, Banri led Naruto to the dining table, where he had set up a simple yet delicious meal. They sat down together, and Banri served Naruto a bowl of the food he had prepared.

As they ate, Naruto couldn't help but marvel at Banri's culinary skills. The flavors were rich and comforting, and each bite seemed to fill a void in his heart that he didn't even know was there.

"Wow, this is amazing," Naruto praised, looking at Banri with admiration.

Banri blushed, his cheeks turning a delightful shade of pink. "I'm glad you like it," he said softly.

"I more than like it. You're the best cook," Naruto said, taking another bite.

They spent the rest of the meal chatting and laughing, the heaviness in Naruto's heart slowly lifting with every moment he spent with Banri. The redhead had a way of making everything feel right, and Naruto couldn't help but feel incredibly lucky to have him in his life.

After they finished eating, Banri insisted on helping Naruto clean up the dishes. As they worked side by side, Naruto couldn't help but steal glances at Banri, who seemed to fit so naturally in his home. It was as if they were meant to be together.

Once the dishes were done, Banri led Naruto to the living room, where they settled on the couch together. Banri curled up against Naruto's side, resting his head on his shoulder.
