Naruto: The Prince of Lust

"Zabuza?" With a shrug, he answers, "not sure. Haven't seen him since. How about Ōyashiro? I felt bad I couldn't sell him the sword."

It was planned for Samui to appear sad or troubled when she responds, "he fired me as his bodyguard before leaving Konoha." Instead, she seems indifferent to being fired and left behind. Mabui's mind gripes, 'how am I supposed to work with that?'

Fortunately, Naruto responds, "that sucks! What an asshole! Why would he do that?"

"I don't know," Samui plainly states. Mabui blinks in morse code, 'elaborate.' Samui then adds, "he left me here… and I've been alone ever since."

Internally Mabui sighs at Samui's blunt discourse, however, Naruto seemed fine as he responds, "well you're not alone anymore."

The three engage in general small talk about Konoha's weather, jobs, and hobbies before Samui asks how they met. After Mabui explains their chance encounter in the library, she curls closer to Naruto as she confesses to Samui, "you see, I absolutely love intelligent men; to the point that it's a fetish for me."

Expressionless, Samui questions, "you do?"

Leaning up, Mabui places her soft, juicy lips against the hot skin of his neck, imagining the arteries sending oxygen-rich blood cells to his mammoth of a brain. He leans into her warm kiss before she repositions her full lips to suck on his skin a moment. When she pulls away, he's caressing her legs over his lap as she answers Mabui, "they excite me more than anything."

"You must be quite intelligent, Naruto," Samui manages to hum with surprise.

"I don't know about that," Naruto bashfully admits. "I'm a little better than most at Fūinjutsu but that's about it."

"No," Samui disagrees without animosity. "I was present when you defeated a renowned missing-nin from Kiri. You're strong as well."

Snug against Naruto, Mabui asks, "what about you? Any man in your life? Maybe back home?"

Though Mabui's mind prays that Samui is tactful in her phrasing, the blond beauty answers, "I've experienced sexual activity on nine separate occasions."

Mabui's mind yells, 'too blunt!'

In an unexpected moment, however, Samui shares in a genuine way, "thus far, the experience isn't… how I've heard others describe."

Mabui's training instantly kicks in, narrowing her green eyes and closing in on the moment by asking, "what were you expecting?" It's a small deviation from the plan, but one Samui is going to have to accept, because as the blond captain likes to say, 'it's for the mission.'

Samui hesitates in deep thought as she answers, "more… impact."

"Emotionally?" Rather than answer, Samui simply nods. Mabui then professes, "emotional connection can be a very difficult thing for some people. Is there anyone you love? It doesn't have to be romantic."

"My brother," Samui answers, warming Mabui's heart.

Naruto leans into Mabui, apparently touched as the silver-haired beauty continues to orate, "as humans, we place an intensely high value on love. It's easy to believe that love makes us fundamentally human, but for those that have a harder time feeling and expressing love, it can make us feel anxious or alien, like we're not normal. All because we believe we're not experiencing love the way we ''ought'' to."

Without asking, Samui speaks of her own accord, detailing, "I've been told in order to be a decent person, I should be in a sexual relationship and constantly thrilled to be with the other person."

Horrified to hear that—and secretly planning on learning that person's name—Mabui precisely guesses, "but you couldn't, could you?" Though cognizant of how far they've departed from the plan, Mabui trusts that Naruto will respond more to a genuine interaction then pre-planned talking points. He's always struck her as empathetic, and as this is Mabui's operation, she continues assuming of Samui's experiences, "you couldn't act like you didn't feel."

After Samui nods affirmatively, Naruto states, "I used to think that's how you were supposed to love too. Crave to see them every day. Always want to ask them out, always hugging and kissing and just want to be together; I never did get past the asking out part though. Still, turns out there's more to loving someone than that romantic love."

"Very true," Mabui chimes before adding, "plenty of people focus far more on idealized love than they should, because without that, it can feel like they're not decent, sane, or normal, which is, of course, incorrect. That's only one of three basic aspects of love; each with their own virtues and seasons that can powerfully extend our sense of what love can mean. Eros, Philia, and Agape. Eros is the powerful attraction we feel at the beginning of a relationship. Popular romantic love says that your entire relationship should be sustained by Eros, but that's not practical. Like all things, that sexual intensity wains over time, and at that point, a relationship can either die or evolve into Philia. Philia is a warm, loyal, friendship type of love." Tilting her head up to Naruto, Mabui sneaks in, "that's what our polyamory is heavily based on."

"Polyamory," Samui curiously repeats.

Mabui waves it away as she continues, "Philia is a great foundation to base marriages on. It's a touching nuance to a union, like a partnership. Essentially, being in love without having to constantly validate the relationship. Sadly, many Eros-based relationships don't reach this point and vice versa. The final type is Agape and that's the kind of love one might have for the flaws and weaknesses in all of us. Basically, compassion and forgiveness for others even if they've wronged you."

Thoroughly impressed, Naruto squeezes her athletic calf muscles with pleasurable finesse as he compliments, "jeez, intelligence really is sexy."

Looking affectionately into his kindly sky-blue eyes, it feels completely natural to Mabui, the way they lean into each other and experience their very first kiss. He isn't overly aggressive or wet or uncoordinated and his warm lips knew how to suck, press, and tilt in perfect synergy with her; even his nose seemed to caress hers. Feeling the command and confidence behind his lips impresses Mabui more than she expected for someone so young. The honey-skinned beauty is actually disappointed when he pulls away, forcing her to remember where they are and what she's doing.

Mabui's warm and tingling when Samui admits, "you are both sexy. And polyamorists?"

Concerned, Naruto turns to Mabui to answer, however, this moment was his and she nods for him to take the lead. He chuckles nervously before admitting to the blond bombshell, "as you can see, I have a gorgeous girlfriend. She's wicked smart and really kind and I'd be happy every day if it's just us, but, if we were lucky enough to find another person to we'd both love, we can be a bigger family. So even though I'd be happy with a two-person relationship, I think we'd be even happier with a three or four-person relationship in which we all love each other." Naruto turns to Mabui with questioning eyes and she responds with a smile and nod of her lovely head.

"So, as an example," Samui dispassionately voices, "if I were in a relationship with you, I would also be in a loving relationship with Mabui-san?"

"Yeah," Naruto answers. "And like Ma-chan said, it could be Eros, Philia, or Agape. I get that it's not for everyone-"

"You're right, it isn't," Samui interrupts, and Mabui can feel Naruto tense under her legs. "However, I'm not against it." With Naruto's surprise, the silence stretches long enough that Mabui morse code's, 'more.' Taking a breath, Samui adds, "if love is indeed more than romantic gestures… If an emotional connection can be built on loyalty and friendship… it appears that is something I can offer."

"That's good. Don't ever believe you have to act a certain way to be in love," Mabui voices before asking the titular question. "Do you think a polyamorous relationship is something you'd be interested in?"
