Wait For Me (Reader Insert)

Chapter 13: >(^•w•^)<

Raising your hand to gently knock on the door, the said door flew open and a sudden force pulled you into the house, along with a sudden pain that greeted your head openly.

"Ooowww." You groaned as warmth enveloped you.

"How could you have been so careless, you ungrateful child! I was worried sick, ya know!" Came Kushina's loud, yet strained voice. You could feel her arms tighten around you as something warm and wet dripped onto your shoulder. Your once tense muscles relaxed into the embrace.

"You really had us scared there." Sounded Minato's usual calm voice. You almost flinched at the suddenness for you were sure he wasn't right there beside you the whole time... Was he?

"The moment that the news that you had been captured reached us, we finished the mission as soon as possible and rushed back here.

His words surprised you beyond comprehension , making your eyes water a bit. "You really did all that... for me?"

"Of course, we wouldn't want any harm to come of our precious friend. It's almost like you're apart of our family. I'm sure that my noisy wife agrees." He softly patted your head and smiled at you as he said this, causing a smile to shift it's way under your mask.

Without you even realizing it, your arms had found itself returning Kushina's welcomed hug as you buried your face into her neck. "Thank you.. for everything." You softly whispered.

Neither of them reacted or said anything back, instead they just stood there relishing in the moment. Minato keeping a hand on your head as Kushina held onto your small figure, giving you a feeling you haven't felt in a long time.

'Part of their family, huh?' You thought to yourself. Deep at the back of your head, you could've sworn you heard a faint scoff, but ignored it.

After a while of smiles, hugs, and warmth, Kushina let you go and you, Minato cleared his throat.

"Speaking of being apart of our family," he began to scratch his cheek sheepishly as he continued on with his sentence. "how would you like to make it official?"

You looked at him confused of what he meant, hoping that he would elaborate on his suggestion. Assumingly getting my confusion, he spoke up again.

"Me and Kushina had been think a lot lately, and over the time we have spent together, we had already felt like you were a part of this family. With your permsission, we'd like to adopt you." He finished.

You looked wide eyed from him to Kushina who only smiled and nodded at me. Warm tears formed at the corners of your eyes at the thought of it. 'They wanted to adopt me...' the idea was almost unreal.

"Sorry, was that too much? I didnt mean to make you cry." Minato and Kushina lookes a bit panicked now as you tried to conceal your tears.

"N-no, I mea yeah, I mean-" You wiped the tears from your eyes, soothing your quickening breaths as you looked to form an actual sentence. "I wouldn't mind..." You bit your lip, looking down, my cheeks were flushed.

"Really?"

You nod your head yes, taken aback when Kushina had hugged you again.

"That's great, y'know!"

"We can go first thing in the morning then to get the papers filled out." Minato was smiling now. "Meanwhile, you should head to bed. We got a long day ahead of us." He ruffled your hair once Kushina let you go.

Immediately, you bowed and bid them goodnight before going back to your room. Although, upon your entry, came something you didn't expect; a little someone pressed against your window, to be exact. You fell back on your bum the moment you noticed him and began to wonder how long he was there.
