Just a cute little Naruto story I made because I can't seem to write anything. ( I can now, but I couldn't several months ago.)
PS Set in modern times. By the way, I do not ship this pairing. This is a one time thing, unless people vote NaruHina on EL. So, not my longest fic, but still pretty good, no?
DISCLAIMER- I don't own Naruto. Nope.
1/21/2014 Edit Notice- I have MAJORLY doctored the authors note for many, many reasons. Thanks.
Goodnight

Naruto POV
I paced back and forth through the waiting room, worry and fear blatant on my face. "Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. Oh God…. No no no no no…. Did she really just do that?1 It's my fault! It's all my fault! Oh shit, what have I done!" I muttered as I paced frantically. Suddenly I felt a gently hand on my back.
"Naruto, calm down, ok? I'm sure she'll be fine," Sakura said calmly, but I could tell she was just as uncertain as I was. Though she didn't have to feel guilty.
"But what if she's not, Sakura?! She has been in surgery What if, what if she has her arm amputated! Or what if she has brain damage and can't walk or talk or think right or something?! What if she DIES Sakura?! It's all my fault for not watching behind me on the road! If she hadn't pushed me out of the way or that stupid eight wheeler truck, she wouldn't be in there right now!" I said frantically, grasping her shoulders.
"Shhhh, Naruto. If she didn't push you out of the way, you'd be dead."
I was about to protest when the nurse called us up.
"Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Neji Hyuuga, Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Kakashi Hatake, and Kurenai Yuhi, please come to the front desk. I repeat, please come to the front desk," said some nurse.
I raced up to her before the others even got out of their seats and grabbed the nurse by the collar. "How is she?! Is she ok?! Did they have to amputate anything?! Brain damage? Coma? Can she talk and walk?! Is she alive?! ANSWER ME WOMAN I AM OBVIOUSLY FREAKING OUT HERE!" I near shouted, words flowing out of my mouth a mile a minute.
"Slow do- Sir, please slow down- SIR! WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP FOR A MINUTE! Thank you! Hinata Hyuuga has just woken up from surgery. She is in room 206. You may go see her if you—like?"
I raced away before she could finish her sentence. Ok, room 206, 206, 206 where are you… Alrighty, 203, 204, 205…. 206! I ran through the door and up to Hinata's bed.
"H-hey, Hinata-chan. How are you feeling?" I said quietly.
Hinata lifted her head and smiled at me. "O-oh. I'm f-feeling fine, N-Naruto-kun. What about y-you?"
"Perfect, 'cept I've been pacing the halls for over five hours now, so my legs are a little sour. Heh heh." I said. "Can I sit by you?"
Hinata bushed furiously, but hid it well behind her deep violet locks. "Ah, s-sure, N-naruto-kun…!" she said quietly.
"Hinata, I' so, so sorry! If I had looked behind me, had taken out those stupid earphones, and hadn't been so fed up with Kiba for his little prank, I'd have seen that eight-wheeler. I'd have moved, and you'd still be okay. It's all my fault, Hinata-chan. I'm so, so sorry!" I said, my eyes starting to water.
"It's ok, Naruto-ku-" she began, a soft smile on her lips before I cut her off.
"No, Hinata, it's not ok! You could have had brain damage, or been put in a 10-year coma or something! Hinata-chan, you could have died! They said your heart stopped twice! I just feel so guilty! It's my fault this happened, Hinata! You should hate me! You should-" And suddenly, I was cut off too.
Hinata pressed her lips firmly to mine, catching me completely by surprise. After a few seconds she pulled away, her face a deep crimson. "And you should shut up, Naruto-kun." She said confidently. Wow. That's like, the first sentence she had ever spoken without stuttering! Woah.
I pressed my finger to my lips, stunned. "H-Hinata-chan…"
"Naruto, do you know why I pushed you out of the way? Because I used to always cry and give up… I made many wrong turns… But you… You helped me find the right path… I always chased after you… I wanted to catch up to you… I wanted to walk beside you all the time… I just wanted to be with you… You changed me! Your smile is what saved me! That is why I'm not afraid to die protecting you! Because… I love you…" Hinata said, looking me deep in the eyes. I could tell she was serious.
My mind began to race. Hinata loves me. Hinata loves me. Hinata loves me. She is so nice, and kind, and caring. Sweet, shy, innocent Hinata loves me… And I knew then that this was it, this was destiny, and it was always meant to be,
"I love you too. Thank you."
And I kissed her back.
Wellp! Short, crappy, and suuuuper uber sappy! But the important thing it it helped me get back into writing mode! Whoo hoo!
