Today had been a long, hard day, but it was still a great day to Naruto.
Nearly every day since he's been appointed hokage had felt like a great day.
His dreams had finally come true. His best friend, Sasuke Uchiha was now safely at home in the hidden leaf village. Although it had taken time, Naruto had finally convince the village to warm up to Sasuke again. The Uchiha was now a member of the secretive Anbu Black Ops. Naruto had finally managed to gain the respect of those who reside in Konoha, but there were still a few who refused to trust the demon that resided in his belly.. After training with his own squad for 3 years, the elders saw that Naruto was finally fit to become their new hokage. Naruto was so proud of himself. He had been the same age his father was when he was appointed hokage. His friends were just as proud. His wife, Hinata Hyuga, was the proudest of them all.
After the war had ended, Naruto couldn't help but to fall for the heirs. Their dates had been simple, yet fun. After returning from missions, the two love birds would eat at Ichiraku's, sometimes, on randomly selected days Hinata would go over to Naruto's apartment and teach him how to cook delicious meals, and whenever the two were free of ninja duties, they would go on picnics and enjoy the lush fields in the land of fire.
Naruto was scared half to death when he had asked Hiashi for Hinata's hand.
He was actually quite jealous when she was instated the official leader of the Hyuga clan. They had only been married six months when it had been decided that she would be their new head. Her hard work and initiative during the great war had showed the world that she is the best choice for the clan.
"Lady Hyuga and Lord Hokage" Naruto loved the way their titles sounded together. She was the leader of one of the most powerful clans in the world, and he was the leader of the most powerful village in which that clan resides. The couple was known as the most influential couples in the hidden leaf village.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Naruto realized he was at his front door.
"I'm home!" his voice echoed through the house. The two owned a nice house that sat perfectly in between the Hyuga Compound and the Hokage Tower. Naruto could hear the shower stopping as he stripped off his sandals. Hinata walked into their shared living room tiredly, wearing pink night shorts and a black tank top.
"Hello, love! Dinner is waiting for us in the kitchen, do you want to freshen up before we eat?" she said with a smile so happy to see her husband, it make his heart skip a beat. He walked up to her and sniffed the top of her wet hair. She smelled delightful. "I think I'll go was off the stench of today, I don't want to stink you up after you've made yourself smell so yummy." He caught her cheeks turning pink as he walked towards their bedroom. He showered as quickly as possible. The smell of delicious curry seeped through the bedroom door as he threw on orange shorts and a his favorite black t-shirt.
Hinata was already sitting at the table with her plate untouched in front of her as she waited for her husband. When he finally took his seat, she smiled brightly again. Naruto sighed, "You're so beautiful..." He was thinking out loud. Pink began to tint her cheeks. At the start of their romantic relationship, a comment like that would set her face ablaze, but she had grown used to it. "You're not too bad, yourself," she replied with the smile that continued to make him fall in love over and over again.
Naruto nearly cried when he placed that spoon in his mouth. "I'm so lucky to have married an amazing woman!" he thought as he continued to devour his meal. There was small talk here and there about their dish, but both of them focused on eating it.
Once, dinner was complete Hinata brought out a warm dozen of icing covered cinnamon rolls. They decide to snuggle up on the couch and enjoy each other's company while they enjoyed desert. "So Hinata, how was your day?" Naruto was always curious. "We're still focused on reorganizing the clan. Some are rejecting change, but we are making strides. Its really only the elders that need convincing."
She glowed as she spoke about the Hyuga affairs and the changes they've successfully made to the clan. She had been doing so much since she started, but he knew she would have to slow down soon. She was entering her second trimester and would begin showing soon. "What about you?" Hinata asked, nibbling on her cinnamon roll. "O-oh. Well I received a notice today. There's a Kage's conference coming up. I actually have to leave in about two weeks. I'll be gone for a month though." He saw the sadness in her eyes as he completed his last sentence. He knew they had planned on finalizing the ban on the cursed seal in the Hyuga Clan. They both thought it would be a great idea to celebrate with their friends and the clan and even announce their new edition to everyone. He knew she was disappointed.
"I understand, Naruto. I'll make arrangements to stay at the compound while you're gone," she spoke.
It was extremely unsafe for Hinata to stay home alone, although the Great War had brought the nations closer together, rogue ninja were still out there. It's not as though Hinata wouldn't be able to handle herself in a fight, but with the Hokage gone, the idiots might think it would be a bright Idea to ambush her, and they both know good and well her body is not in the condition to risk taking on an ambush alone."I'm sorry, Hinata. I'm making things harder on you," Naruto hung his head in sadness.
"No. Stop," she lifted his chin and looks him dead in the eye, "this is your job, your dream... Don't be sorry. You have your responsibilities and I have mine. While you're gone, I'll convince the Hyuga and the village elders that banning the cursed seal is what's best for the Hidden Leaf." She always knew how to make him feel better with words. Somehow, Hinata could be the shyest person in the world around their friends and during social gatherings, but when it comes to business she is the most confident person he knew.
"Ahhhh... Hinata... I should stop acting like a whiny loser around you. It make feel like.. well, a loser," he smiled at his wife as she completed her cinnamon roll while still looking in his eyes. "You know, you're the coolest loser I've ever met," Hinata said with a wink while sucking the remaining icing off her index finger. "Uhhgg," Naruto groaned playfully, "That was lamest thing you could ever say out loud." Hinata entered a giggling fit, but it was soon ended by her husband's lips. "Hmmm... loser," she moaned against his lips,"Since, you're leaving in two weeks, maybe we should..."
He didn't let her finish that sentence, and she didn't need to.
A/N: I might add more chapters, but I don't really know where this drabble is going. Thank you for reading :)
