My name is Hinata and I'm hopelessly in love.

Blond hair, bright blue eyes and whisker-like cheek marks as a charmingly characteristic trait. Simply beautiful. But not just on the outside. The object of my affection has the most selfless, strong and unwavering personality I have ever seen in a person. It's what drew me to her in the first place, several years ago. Indeed, many years have passed and my feelings have only grown stronger. I know I will feel like this for the rest of my life, even if it remains a one-sided love, even if she never notices the extent of my feelings.

The thing with her is that she makes me feel like it's not one-sided at all, because her love is encompassing, warm and undiscriminating. She loves everyone. Of course, I realize that I will most likely never have a romantic relationship with her, but that's something I've never even seriously considered. Her happiness and well-being mean more than the world to me. As long as I can continue to watch her, as long as her faith in humanity never dies, I will be content with the way things are.

She's the reason I am able to face the mirror without looking away, the reason I have the will and determination to keep growing, as a person, as well as a ninja. She is the last person I think about when I go to bed and the first person in my mind when I wake up.

Naruko is not just my love interest. She is everything to me. And it's okay if she never finds out. You see, our relationship is fine the way it is.


"Hinata! Why are you zoning out?"

Naruko leans over me where I'm crouched against the bridge railing, pursing her lips and waving her hand worriedly in front of me. The flattering manner in which her soft-looking bangs frame her angelic face, which is partly illuminated by the morning sun rays, and unruly pigtails cascade down her shoulders knocks the breath out of me for a brief moment. Something so simple, yet I can't look away.

"It's nothing, don't worry. Let's get ready for our mission, shall we?" I reply at last and try not to fidget or make my blush too obvious, although I am well aware that she's too dense to ever realize what it means. Another thing I find oddly endearing about her.

"That's the spirit!"

She flashes me a wide, toothy grin. Anyone else might have rolled their eyes at her antics, but I smile fondly and accept the hand offered to me. Her beauty truly is out of this world.


Gasp. I wrote yuri (?) … NarukoxHinata is actually my guilty pleasure. I just love it. Ofc I also ship NarutoxHinata, (Naruto somehow strikes me as bisexual lol) but but.. the slash. I am a sucker for slash.. and Naruko. Also, there is waaaay too little NarukoxHinata out there, seriously. We need more. (At least I do.) And Naruko needs to be an official character, really.. I'm silly.. I'll stop now. Go ahead and review if you want to make a lazy fanfic author happy (and possibly give motivation for some future yuri!NaruHina drabbles.) :D
