Idiot In Tin Foil
"S-sorry I'm late!" Dark haired Hyuuga Hinata said, out of breath as she dropped her bag and coat on the floor and sliding onto it. "I was with-"
"Naruto?" Pinkette doctor-to-be Haruno Sakura finished, pushing a steaming cup of vanilla latte towards her friend, smiling. "We know."
"H-huh? How did you-"
"Oh please," Yamanaka Ino butt in, hands caressing her own warm coffee mug, sky blue eyes reflecting that warmth. "Ever since you told us" - she indicated to the small group of them sitting there; Tenten grinned, Matsuri giggled, Temari winked and Sakura smiled still - "that you were dating, you've been…glowing. And blushing."
"More than normal," Tenten added.
"Oh." The Hyuuga girl took a sip of her beverage, letting it warm her insides. It had been oddly cold in Konoha for the time of year…
"So what did you do?" Temari asked, all of the females leaning slightly towards Hinata.
Her cheeks became dusted with delicate rose as talk of her morning (and early afternoon) with her boyfriend - boyfriend! - started.
"W-well we…We went for a walk around the park-"
"Did you hold hands?"
"Y-yes…"
"How adorable," the blonde said, appearing satisfied with this information while Matsuri cooed at the embarrassed Hinata. "Carry on."
"O-okay…" She took another small sip of latte before continuing. "We walked all the way around, under the cherry blossoms and past the duck pond…" A dreamy expression took over Hinata's features. "I-it was really romantic. And then…"
"Yes?" By now Tenten and Ino - the two furthest from the bluenette - were standing up, ears straining to hear the rest of the tale.
"And then he took me to his favourite eatery-"
"Wait." Sakura interrupted, her face dropping. "You said he took you to his favourite eatery, right?"
Hinata nodded eagerly on her part. "Yes! His favourite place to eat…"
As the Hyuuga's lavender-white eyes took on a wistful quality, the other girls shot each other a range of looks, from confusion (Matsuri) to disgust (Ino).
"You guys all know Naruto's favourite eatery…?" Sakura trailed off.
"Ichiraku Ramen," Hinata and Tenten said in chorus.
Uzumaki Naruto had taken Hyuuga Hinata - the Hyuuga Hinata, cousin of Neji, daughter of Hiashi, older sister to Hanabi - to a ramen bar on a date?
Temari's right eye twitched. Matsuri gave an 'are you serious?' glance to the day dreaming Hyuuga. Tenten shook her head. Sakura sat, impassive. Ino face palmed.
Hinata carried on, oblivious to her friend's reactions.
"A-and when I got there, I realised I didn't have enough money for a bowl, s-so Naruto-kun offered to buy me one." She sighed blissfully. "He's the nicest boyfriend I could wish for, like a knight in shining armour."
More like an idiot in tin foil, the others thought.
End
A little idea that struck me when reading a quote on someone's profile: 'My knight in shining armour turned out to be a loser in tin foil'. Thanks random person whose profile I was looking at/person who made this quote up!
I thought about where Naruto would be likely to take Hinata on a date and what the other girls would think about it and bam! Story.
Review please? I like knowing how I did :3 And I value my reviewers highly [I try to either thank you via PM or review one of your stories].
I'll go away now XD Bye! *Bows*
