Years of it.
She had it for years.
She bottled up her emotions and never let them out. She never spoke and he never heard. The love of her life barely knew she existed.
Hinata was her name. And Naruto was the boy she loved.
She had written so many love letters that the writer's cramp in her hand almost made her a cripple. Now, she thought she finally had it right. All she had to do was muster the courage it would take to politely hand it to him.
But what would he think of her? What if…what if he rejected her? I mean, he did have other options. Sakura, Tenten, the list is limitless.
As she sat behind a tree, holding the heart sealed love letter in her hand, she glanced now and then towards Naruto, who lay in the middle of a meadow, without a care in the world.
She was going to do it. All she had to do was give it to him. That's all. She mustered up what courage and confidence she had. Just give it to him. Just…
Hinata began to step onto the flowering meadow when Naruto sat up and looked in her direction. She quickly ran back to behind the tree. Naruto put on a questioning look, and lay his head back on the fresh green grass.
Hinata's heart was racing. Could she do it? All her confidence from earlier had quickly vanished. Hinata sighed. She did a quick check on Naruto. Her heart skipped a beat.
He was gone!
Hinata only had a split second to come up with all the worst possibilities until she heard a poof behind her. She turned to see Naruto.
"Hey Hinata, did you want something?" he asked.
Hinata quickly hid her letter behind her back as her face turned red. "Uhh, no, Naruto. I…I just…" she had to think quickly.
"I…wanted to invite you to…the ramen shop." Hinata lied. Naruto cocked his head. "Hmm, I sure do love ramen." He straightened himself and put his hands behind his head. He put on his huge grin. "Sure Hinata, I'd love to! See you at noon. It's a date."
Naruto did some quick hand signs and teleported away. Hinata exhaled. Fear took over her as she realized what she just did. She had just scheduled a date…with Naruto.
Naruto.
Naruto.
She had to tell it to herself a few times. Naruto. She didn't realize it when she said it. She was scared. What could she do? She couldn't show. She wouldn't be able to keep her composure. Maybe she could just go there and leave the note. It sounded good. She drew out a pen and opened her letter. She put a quick P.S. at the bottom.
P.S. If you feel the same way I do, meet me atop Hokage Mountain.
It was perfect. She would leave the note and wait atop the mountain. If he showed, they would fall in love. If he didn't…
Hinata's life would be crushed.
It was a risk she was willing to take. She stuffed her pen into her pocket and checked the time.
3:56.
Naruto scheduled a date…four hours later than he planned. Hinata couldn't help but giggle at that. She did a quick set of hand signs and was off.

Yeah, you know, this is that typical NaruHina kind of fic. I actually only made this because I was bored…I think it is about three fifty-six in the morning. Time for some shut eye. Tell me if I should go on. This was going to escalate into a two part fic but I think it isn't…original enough. You tell me. Toodles.
