She smiled. Why am I not surprised? Thought the raven-haired girl just ten feet away from the boy of her dreams.

Him and his Ramen, its like his own personal drug. She laughed.

But he's just to cute to ignore!

Hinata blushed crimson red as she pondered how she would start her conversation. She had always been shy and nervous, especially around Naruto (as much of a goofball as he may be).

Today was the day she decided she would admit her feelings to him. It had been over 2 years since she first saw him, and ever since then she has been madly in love with his bold perseverance, over confidence, and enthusiasm that could only come from the blonde haired boy himself.

But on top of that, it was the fact that she wished to be like him more then ever. He contained everything she lacked, or at least she thought so.

Every time I see him, it motivates me to be strong. And its time he knows that, and because of it I love him.

As she watched the knuckle headed ninja slurp the last of the ramen out of his bowl (his fifth by the way), she decided to get moving. As she slowly crept toward him at her usually shy pace, she could help but blush and nearly faint.

Pull yourself together Hinata. You can do this.

Suddenly and without much warning, Naruto turned around, slid off his chair and rushed out of the Ramen shop to come face-to-face with Hinata, who was still shocked by the fact him leaving so early.

Naruto-kun is…so close…

"Hey Hinata! I was just getting out of here to visit grandma Tsunade and I-

The girls face turned tomato red, and she felt her body go limp. Out of embarrassment, she fainted and fell into the ninja boy's arms.

"Eh? Hinata? Are you ok?" Oh man I better get her to a hospital…Why is it always when I'm around that she faints like this? People are going to eventually get suspicious!

Hinata woke up the next morning to find herself in a hospital bed. She hadn't been out for very long but it was enough to keep her there over night.

Naruto sat next to her bed and gave her his usually goofy grin when he saw her eyes start to open.

"Na-Naruto-kun? What happened? You took me here when I fainted last night?"

"Well, yeah. You started to act kinda weird and you turned really red so I thought you must be sick or something and needed to be taken to a hospital."

"Oh. Um...Thank you Naruto." The shy girl whispered. She smiled and blushed a little, but didnt faint this time.

"Don't mention it! Here, I got you some ramen. One cup of this and you'll be better in no time!"

She tried not to laugh, but couldn't help giggling a little. Naruto saw this and joined in, although he was unsure what was so funny.

They both let out long yawns before Naruto decided it was time to leave.

"I'll probably see you today at the training grounds, I've got some training with pervy-sage."

"Oh, I'll try to see you there Naruto-kun."

They said their good-byes and Naruto left her alone in the hospital bed.

Ill ask Sakura why she keeps blushing like that. She knows girls much better than I do.

The knuckle-headed ninja headed off to look for his pink-haired teammate, Sakura Haruno.

Well this is my first story, I'll try to update every week or so, maybe quicker. Please review, the more comments I get the more motivated I am to continue writing. Thanks for reading so far, chapter 2 coming up in a week or so.
