[Yeah... He had a feeling that particular line of questioning had more to it than just an interest in his and Kushina's relationship.
There was a hint of a smile on his expression, both at Naruto's confession and leftover from his own previous line of thought. But Minato listened to his son, exhaling a thoughtful hum before he spoke.
Shit, he'd always thought he'd have a few years before he'd have to dole out relationship advice.]
You're all still young Naruto, your interests today... they could be something completely different tomorrow. Whether it's a hobby or even the person you're attracted to.
[Says the guy that knew he'd marry a certain redhead when he was like ten. A WOMAN'S HEART IS AS FICKLE AS THE AUTUMN SKIES~
He'd heard something similar from Jiraiya when he'd muster up the courage to talk about his feelings for Kushina... and he'd hated hearing it every time, just as much as it probably irritated Naruto now. Still, there was some merit to what his Sensei had tried to make him see (Plenty of women out there Minato! Why settle for just one?)- that you really needed to think about this sort of thing, and know completely what you were getting into. That you had absolutely no doubt when it came to the person you were planning on spending your life with.]
But... [Because he was sympathetic to how his son felt, the confusion, the frustration at not knowing what to do.] sometimes that feeling lingers, and grows into something you can't ignore. Your mother and I were very lucky to find each other, but we certainly had our fair share of arguments and stumbling along the way.
If you believe it's meant to be... it's worth fighting for, isn't it?
