Summary: what would happen if Naruto had a massive crush on Hinata (not Sakura) who really didn't like anyone. Throw in the fact that he can't properly speak to her and things get more hectic

He had met her back when they were five years old, when she was being bullied by some boys for being 'weird'. He had stuck up for her and ended up being beaten up.

But her warm words and hands made sure he was okay before she was dragged away to her compound, leaving him in the snow with a bruised cheek, but he couldn't feel it.

The second time was at the academy during preschool. He saw her being picked on, again. Couldn't these guys leave her alone?! what did she do to them?

She had gazed up in his eyes and he felt his face become red as he stood up for her. He got beat up again and oh my god he must have looked so much like an idiot. Came to her rescue twice and got beat up in front of her... UGH.

Yet again that strange man with the cold glare directed at him, dragged her away.

Then the third time was when they entered the Academy.

She hadn't noticed him, but he did notice her. He had attempted to talk to her, but failed as it came out as.

"I- You... I uh... Seeing you again.. Um... Hi...? I mean uh I alrea- no i didn't say that but- uh... ummm... Y-you were the gi- I mean um..."

He had quickly bowed in apology and ran away to sit on the other side of the classroom, behind her a couple of desks at the back since she was sitting in the front row.

For the whole morning he stared at the back of her head, well not stared, glanced yes, but not stare. He was blushing every time he saw her black-blue hair that was shining in the light.

For the next few weeks he learnt her name is Hinata Hyuuga, the clan heiress. She had a younger sister, and he mother was dead, her father was mean and that strange scary guy was named Ko and was her escort.

NO he was not stalking her, only... watching from afar when he saw her time to time. Those were things he should know about his classmate! (Even though he didn't bother to learn anything about his other classmates)

He loved her eyes, not the grey ones that everyone else in her clan had, no they were a beautiful light lavender. They held almost everything he knew, keyword: almost. She had things he recognized in his. most noticeable was sadness and loneliness, those he knew too well. She also had innocence, something he lost.

She had a loving stare at anything, like she appreciated everything. But it also held this self doubt and uncertainty, he wanted to see her boldness.

She was beautiful.

He never really used the word before, nothing was 'pretty' or 'beautiful' no. He never had anything Pretty or nice, and really he didn't even now.

But that is what she was. All the other girls were... well.. weak. They all fawned over Sasuke Uchiha and forgot their training and such, making them behind all the boys who actually trained. But Hinata was different. She was too smart, no, she was somewhere in the middle, but in things such as Psychical and hands on things, she was at the top.

She didn't even look at Sasuke, she ignored him and focused on her training instead of fawning over some boy.

She was... amazing.

She was adorable.

So many things he liked about her.

But there was a few things he didn't, those were: The way she was too shy

She was self conscious.

Timid sometimes

Shy

She was uncertain sometimes.

She didn't notice him.

Nope not at all. She didn't notice how he looked at her when she wasn't looking at him, she didn't know about his feelings. Really it was sort of amazing how she didn't know about his feelings, Hell no one in the class knew.

But that was because they didn't care.

They didn't care about Naruto Uzumaki, or his feelings, only that they shouldn't get to know him, keep their distance.

Ignore him.

He wanted to be known, he wanted to shout out his name, but he was too afraid.

Afraid of being embarrassed in front of his crush, to make her disappointed in how stupid he would act for attention.

Sure sometimes he blurted things out, and he would mess up some times and no one in the class really liked him.

But there was those moments, when he'd see her giggling at him in light humor. It brought a lush and a smile to his face, that he could make her have that expression.

Really he just loved her smile
