Naruto Uzumaki entered Konoha hospital with a handful of daisies from Yamanaka's flower shop, and a look of nervousness spread across his flushed face. Directing himself towards the nearby secretary, the wide, cerulean-eyed Uzumaki swallowed hard, before clearing his throat to speak. The secretary lady lifted her face to greet him, and stared genuinely before talking.

"May I help you?" She had asked so kindly.

"Hinata Hyuga's room please." Naruto replied with a light blush emitting on his soft cheeks.

The young women searched the through the data, before directing him to the nearest hallway.

"Room 104B," answered the polite secretary. "Door on the left." She had grinned after eying the flowers in his clammy hands.

"Arigatou Gozaimasu." Naruto bowed, and thanked her before leaving.

Making his way to the room, Naruto stole a glance at one of Hinata's teammates, who was reading attentively through a book about insects outside a doorway. This was apparently Hinata's room.

"Shino?" Naruto spoke hesitantly, because he was slightly intimidated by the Aburame.

"Naruto?" Shino muttered while cocking an eyebrow realizing he had actually remembered his name. Lifting his lenses to look at him, he stared through the opaque glass, realizing a look of remorse shown on the usually bubbly shinobi. Dropping his gaze from the blonde haired ninja's face, Shino stared confusingly at the bouquet of daisies in his trembling hands. "What are you doing here?" he had asked confusingly.

"I came to see Hinata chan." Naruto replied while swallowing his nervousness. He had never been this nervous before. He couldn't help but stare worriedly, before speaking once more.

"How is she?" He had fought hard to speak, his voice cracking mid sentence.

"Better," Shino replied before sighing. "She'll be fine." The Aburame figured that Naruto felt somewhat guilty, and responsible for Hinata's injuries, and practically near death experience. In way, he found it amusing, considering it wasn't Naruto's fault at all.

Naruto sighed in relief, "Thank goodness." He spoke eagerly. The blonde haired ninja somewhat felt like thousands of pounds were lifted off his shoulders. "Can I see her?" the Uzumaki had asked calmly before locking his orbs onto the entrance to her room.

"Go ahead," Shino replied forming a smile across his lips. "She's asleep though."

Naruto sluggishly entered the room, and quietly closed the towering door behind him. Staring wearily at the equipment, Naruto gaped at a heart monitor, and an ivy drip that was hooked up to the dark haired kunoichi. A frown formed across his lips before he made way towards her bedside. Pulling a chair beside her hospital mattress, Naruto slowly sat down before looking at the angelic Hyuga. Her lids were swollen, and her face, and arms had been bruised severely. He shuttered at the sight of the needles injected in her arms. Becoming squeamish, he brought his gaze back towards Hinata's innocent face.

Suddenly, the Uzumaki grasped onto the flowers in hands, shaking more and more, almost crushing them in his trembling grip. He could feel his face burn crimson, seeing her face to face after the last time he had seen her. Recollections of their last meeting burned deep inside his mind. The last time they had spoke, he had fought with Pein, a member of the Akatsuki. He could vision himself pinned to the ground again, and Hinata appearing from out of know where. He could distinctly remember the emotions he felt as she stood there, fearless, strong, and determined. He had never seen her like that before, usually when he pictured her, she was the shy, meek, and outspoken kunoichi that he known since the Ninja Academy. There she was, ready to fight anyone who threatened him. Naruto swallowed hard, remembering the way she spoke to him. He remembered that she said wasn't afraid to die for him. He remembered that she said that she wasn't afraid to die for someone she loved.

Because I love you. She had said to him, with a loving smile spread across her face.

Naruto formed a light smile across his lips. It had been so obvious, he had felt so stupid. Looking back, it was light as day. The way she had let him cheat off her tests during the ninja academy. The way she would always stutter, twiddle her fingers, blush, and nearly faint every time she was around him. The way she had offered him medicine after he had fought her own teammate during the third stage preliminaries. The Uzumaki chuckled lightly, looking back at it now; he found it kind of cute the way she had acted around him.

Slowly, behind thick black lashes, Hinata's heavy lids slowly parted, revealing her innocent eyes. Having blurry vision, she had squinted realizing she had company.

"Hey there," Naruto spoke relatively calm. "Your awake."

With widened eyes, the dark haired kunoichi stared in bewilderment at what seemingly was Naruto's face.

"Nnn…Naruto?" She had stuttered softly. She had wiped her eyes, before staring at the grinning blonde haired shinobi. Suddenly, a pink blush embedded itself onto her cheeks.

"How are you feeling?" Naruto had asked, trying to hide that fact that he noticed her face blushing heavily.

"B…better." She replied while rubbing her right arm nervously, with her ivy needle still attached to her left arm. "The nurse said I might be discharged within a week." She said before smiling.

"That's good to hear." The Uzumaki spoke caringly.

Suddenly, Hinata glanced at the daisies in Naruto's hands, and her heart shaped face became crimson. Naruto stared confusingly at her, before realizing she was eying the daisies in his hands. He grinned happily before holding them out to her.

"These are for you." He spoke almost flirtatiously.

Hinata brought her shaking hands towards the flowers, and Naruto gently placed them into her hands, his fingers brushing against hers. She shuttered feeling the electricity as their skin touched. Slowly, she brought the daisies to her chest, and began to embrace the flowers, but not enough to crush them in her slender arms.

"Th…Thank you Naruto kun." The Hyuga started to stutter again.

"Your welcome." He replied genuinely.

Hinata's heart began to race, as he watched her caress the bouquet in her sweaty palms. She felt warm sweat form from her temple as he scooted closer.

"Hinata chan?" The blonde haired shinobi whispered before taking her hand into his.

Hinata's face grew in darker shade of red, as he started to rub his thumb over her petite fingers.

"Y…Yes?" She spoke nervously with her voice sounding shrill.

"I'm sorry you got hurt." He said remorsefully.

"It's okay." She replied almost confusingly. "I'm fine now."

"I feel partly to blame." He admitted.

"How is that?" The dark haired kunoichi asked shockingly. "It was on my own free will to fight."

"Seeing you nearly die," He started. " Made me feel like should have put a stopped to it-"

"But you did!" She sounded almost angry. "Without you, I could have died!"

Seeing her flustered like, Naruto couldn't help, but smile subconsciously. "I guess your right." He said before gripping her hand tighter into his.

Hinata became nervous at once, as his blue orbs gazed into hers. His face crept closer to hers, their noses almost touching.

"N…Naruto?" She whispered nervously.

"Hinata chan." He spoke lovingly, before bringing his firm palms to her face. He gently caressed her reddened face into his hands. He stared passionately into her eyes.

"Your so cute when your nervous." The Uzumaki teased her playfully.

"Cute?" Hinata thought to herself.

His sweet breath lingered against her pouty lips as he crept closer, this time allowing him to ghost against hers lightly. The Hyuga's face was now burning like rapid wildfire, and she started to shake nervously.

The blonde haired shinobi laced his rough lips against hers, finally kissing her. His eyes slowly closed as he parted his lips allowing more of deepened kiss between the two. Hinata's eye remained opened, realizing the boy that she loved was kissing her. Trying her best regain composure, she parted her lips further allowing him to deepen the kiss. This time, Naruto slid his eager tongue into her heated cavern lustfully crashing his against hers. Hinata surprisingly oblige, and feeling somewhat confident, the dark haired kunoichi grasped onto the back of his spiky locks, pulling him in so she collide her soft tongue against his. Wanting him more, she gripped onto his shoulders, and pulled Naruto onto the mattress, and pulled him down on top of her. Opening her lust filled orbs, her eyes fogged over with blissful emotion, as she continued to kiss him. The Uzumaki cradled her head into his hands as, he brought his lips to her neck, kissing and nipping at her soft skin. A girly whimper escaped from her pouty lips, as he suckled against her skin. As Naruto was about to leave love marks onto her neck, Hinata's heart monitor grew loud. Embarrassing enough, Hinata's face reddened, realizing her racing heart had set it off. Naruto couldn't help but chuckle, realizing how hot and bothered he had gotten her. Before getting off the mattress, he had kissed her forehead. Hearing footsteps from a distance, Naruto knew it was nurse rushing to see if Hinata was all right. Sitting back into the chair, Naruto had act like nothing had happened.
