Sakura's throat tightened painfully, and she wrapped an arm around Naruto, drawing him in closer - he made a soft sound of startlement, then burrowed into her embrace the way he always did, as though afraid it would be taken away - and swearing silently, and not for the first time, to see to it Naruto got as many happy things as she could make happen for him.
