Authors Note:
I put in for the claim earlier at the community and figured on getting a jump start since the claim should generally be completed in one month. The claims are simple and fun so it's not really a stressor.:3.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. 'Nough said.;b.

So...for the 10_snuggles community at LiveJournal.
Claim: Naruto Uzumaki x Hinata Hyuuga. My Naruto Het, OTP.X3.

Theme/Prompt: 1. Blankets.

Walking into the clearing, she spotted whom she had come to see. Knowing he would be there. Her silent years of watching him helped with that.

He stopped his practice motions and looked over at her curiously before his infamous trademark grin appeared on his tanned face. Hinata smiled softly as Naruto waved her over.

While walking over, she was careful not to drop her cargo. The sun was starting to set and the purple haired girl had a feeling that he might be getting hungry so she had brought a few things.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Hey Hinata!" He saw a slight blush darken her pale face but she was smiling. "H-hello Naruto." She was now just a few inches away from him. "I-I thought you might be hungry since itF's so late." She was quick to glance down at the picnic basket she had prepared.

His stomach picked that time to growl and he chuckled nervously. "Guess you were right." Getting an idea he turned to see one of the bigger trees not far away from the training ground. "How about we set up over there." He pointed to where he was mentioning.

"Sure." The two started off while a warm breeze swept through the evening.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Not long later the pair were seated on a traditional red and white checkered blanket and each eating a riceball.

"This is really good! Did you make this stuff?" He asked happily after swallowing a bite of riceball.

"Y-yes. I'm glad you like it." She replied in a lower tone after fighting having a light blush come to her face from her boyfriends compliment. She had brought some riceballs, dumplings and a couple of bento boxes along with a few bottles of water since she was not quite sure what to bring to drink in case she had been wrong and he left the training grounds earlier then she thought.

They ate with a peaceful and comfortable silence between them. It was only broken a few minutes later when Hinata pointed to the darkening sky. "Look, it's beautiful, isn't it?" Naruto looked to where she had pointed to.

What was left of the sun was slowly fading out of sight as the sky grew darker and more stars could slowly be seen. "Yeah." He agreed while looking up at it. He squinted a little at one of the shades of color in the sky to get a better look at it reminded him of Hinata's hair color.

////////////////////////////////

They sat like that for a little while and Hinata blinked after feeling something against her shoulder. She cast a glance over to see that Naruto had fallen asleep and found her shoulder to be a good pillow.

She couldn't help but smile at him. Even though Kakashi was away on a three day mission and Sakura was busy with Tsunade, he still came to train alone. She knew in her heart that he really would be a Hokage one day. He was so dedicated to it.

Pushing those thoughts aside, she carefully reached into the basket that was to her left, to pull out a folded up light blue blanket that was a little bit smaller then the one they were sitting on. She had used it as a cushion for the items that were previously inside.

She had been as careful as possible about unfolding the blanket and using it to cover their upper bodies. Only freezing once when he moved a little but remained asleep.

After getting settled. She inched just a little closer to him and figured that she could wake him later but for now she was enjoying having him beside her and to herself.

Tomorrow things would go back to being busy. So for now, this moment was theirs. She was contented with the thought while looking back up to the starry sky.
