::: Chapter I :::

"I'm home…" Naruto entered the main door and removed his shoe.

Hinata came from the kitchen and greeted him with a warm smile as she always did. "Welcome home, Naruto-kun…" she said.

Naruto smiled. "I'm hungry, Hinata… and something's smells good…"

"Yes, I'm preparing something special tonight…"

"What— Uh, do we have guests?" his eyes widened.

Hinata shook her head slightly. "Uhmm… Nope"

Naruto blinked at her in confusion. "So, any special occasion?" he raised an eyebrow while removing his tie.

"No…" replied the wife simply.

"Your birthday?!" Naruto's eyes went wide.

Hinata pouted slightly. "No! It's a long way to go Naruto-kun…." Her cheeks went red.

"Ahahaha…" Naruto chuckled while absentmindedly scratching the back of his head. "Yeah… it's on… ah- on… December!"

The wife's eyes narrowed slightly. "Anyway, go and take your bath first then we'll eat together"

Naruto nodded and kisses her forehead before he went upstairs. Hinata sighed while staring at his back. "Hmm… it's indeed special, Naruto-kun…" she smiled.

After awhile, Naruto went to the dining room excitedly. "I'm so damn hungry!" he stated as he took a seat.

Hinata smiled at him. "You're always hungry…" she said, placing a bowl of rice in front of Naruto.

"Thanks, Hinata…" he said. "Itadakimasu!" and dug right in.

Meanwhile, Hinata ate silently, peeking on her husband silently. "Naruto-kun… do you know…" she said and glancing a little to get his attention.

"Hm?" Naruto tilted his head and looked at her, questioning.

"Uhm… well, Valentine's Day is approaching…"

Naruto's eyebrows rose. "Ah! Less than a week!" he counted his fingers. "Sorry… I totally forgot!"

"Forgot…?" Hinata muttered, saddened.

"Hm… so, you will give me chocolate as usual?"

"I guess so…"

"Make some extra Hinata!"

"W-Why is that so?"

"So I can bring some for my colleagues at the office!"

Hinata felt like crying. "Hmm… okay" she smiled anyway.

Naruto continued on eating happily and talking about his work.

"So, he really forgets that… it's our first marriage anniversary" Hinata silently thought. And her stomach churned at the sad thought.
