"Phoof, what a training session! You sure do pack a wallop when you go all out, Lee!"





"Yosh! And you, beloved, are remarkable in your ability to take a roundhouse kick to the face!"





"Eh heh heh....it barely even hurt, really! I think I've always had this ringing in my ears!"





"Although I must correct your assertion that I was going 'all out'. I was hardly paying attention, if I may be honest."





"What?! I-I mean, uh.....is that right?"





"Hai! A thousand apologies for the sub-par spar, Naruto-kun! I must confess, I was.......distracted."





"And what, may I ask, was pressing enough to distract you from your fight with the legendary- and might I add, future Hokage!- Uzumaki Naruto?"





"Uzumaki Naruto himself, of course! I couldn't think straight at the sight of your sweet, adorable face- everything from your whisker-marks to your smile- it's dazzling, Naruto-kun! Like pure sunshine!"





".....S-sunshine?"





"Oh, no, you're turning red! Darling, have I said something amiss?"





"No, n-no.....just got this weird fuzzy feeling inside. Either one of your kicks broke my spleen, or....."





"Oh! You too feel the beautiful stirrings of the eternal springtime of love?"





"Ah ha ha.....um, e-either that, or I'm, y'know, bleeding inside my chest."





"A terrible dichotomy, my sunshine."





"Yeah.....but either way, I think a certain bushy-browed somebody might be able to kiss it better."





"Oh my! W-well then, I am at your service, future Hokage-sama!"

behold, my dumbass naruto otp





(they're wearing their outfits from that one Kingdom of the Crescent Moon movie)







it's kind of a rare pair and there's not a whole lot of shipping content for it and that really just butters my biscuits





best boys deserve to be happy togetherrrrrrr (fuckin fite me, kishimoto)





it's not like i don't enjoy other ships for these two (honestly i ship Lee with pretty much every character), but AHHHH THIS SHIP





they're both so genuine and passionate and kind and WEIRD and they'd make each other so happy, Naruto needs that infinite well of over-the-top lovin' that is Rock Lee, and Lee needs somebody like Naruto to ground him and challenge him and they're both so STARVED for love and friendship and affection, Naruto especially I feel would be hesitant to love anybody and be vulnerable, Lee would bitch-slap that doubt and fear into non-existence and they could find a safe space to be clingy and passionate and lovey-dovey with each other and screw anybody who looks at em funny





anyway best ship yep yep
