Happy Birthday

The frosty morning was cold. It was the beginning of Spring, yet, the mornings were still as cold as the ones in Autumn. Hinata didn't want to get up. She was awake but not up. She snuggled into the covers as she remembered when the two met four years ago. A smile crept up on her face.

"Good morning!"

Hinata moaned. Naruto was awake and had disturbed her thoughts. Though she didn't really mind, she wished he could've stayed quiet for a few more minutes.

For Naruto, it was different. It was Hinata's 19th birthday. He planned for a big surprise for her. Naruto, already 20, wanted to give the one he loved a very special day. He thought of what to do when Hiashi opened the doors of her room.

"Happy birthday my girl!" he said.

Tenten and Neji walked in the room, side by side. They were married and a happy couple they were.

"Happy birthday!" said the couple in unison.

Naruto didn't say anything. He sat up on the floor and seemed to be lost in space. Hinata was upset. She had usually received a big birthday hug from him and would say 'I love you'. Naruto saw the disappointment in the girl's eyes and muttered a quiet 'Happy birthday'. He was still planning on what to do.

'I knew I should've planned everything yesterday!' he thought.

It took him a few minutes before he thought of a great idea. Tenten knew what was going on and convinced her husband and father-in-law to leave the room and leave them in peace.

"Naruto," Hinata said quietly.

"What is it Hinata-chan?"

There was a silent pause before Hinata answered. "Nothing," she said.

Naruto gave his usual cheeky grin. "Get dressed Hinata. We have to get going!"

"F-for what?"

"It's a surprise," he teased.

Hinata complained as he chuckled. She then got dressed single strapped pale lavender-coloured shirt and a light blue mini-skirt. It was one of her favourite outfits. Naruto just wore his normal orange and black jumpsuit.

Naruto and Hinata were ninjas. Hinata, because it was a special occasion and nowhere to place, didn't put the Konoha forehead protector on. As for Naruto, he wore it with pride.

They soon left the Hyuga household with Hinata following behind Naruto.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"Somewhere to eat and enjoy ourselves before the surprise," he answered.

They walked to a small restaurant where their friends would usually meet up with them. Naruto loved his ramen but would only miss it out if it was a special occasion. He knew Hinata didn't like ramen as much as he did.

They ate their meal while talking about stuff that happened days ago, even weeks ago when Naruto or Hinata were away on missions. Their meal wasn't finished until half an hour had past. Naruto paid the bill and walked off with Hinata's hand in his.

"Where to now?" she asked.

He didn't answer. He dragged her away without any force. She gladly followed behind.

It wasn't long before they walked to one of their favourite places, the lake. The water sparkled like crystals under the sun as birds sang their song. The trees gave shade to people, hiding them from the sun. It was where their thoughts can wander off without coming back to their troubles. Their minds were relaxed as they sat under a tree.

"Happy birthday Hinata-chan," he said.

He gave a light kiss on her cheek. Her father had forbidden him to kiss her on the lips. She felt her cheeks turn slightly red. What she had received was more different and more mature than the past few years.

She placed her head onto his shoulder and closed her eyes. There was nothing to worry about. Nothing could ruin the moment.

"I love you," she said quietly.

"I love you too."

Though it was only eleven in the morning, Hinata dozed off to sleep.

It was the afternoon when the heiress woke up. She didn't remove her head from his shoulder since his head was resting on hers. Her stomach grumbled in hunger. The slight noise had woken Naruto.

"You hungry?" he asked.

She nodded. She didn't want to eat though. She wanted the moment to last forever.

The man got up and held out his hand. She placed hers in his and stood up.

They had their late lunch. It was simple, just a sandwich and a bottle of water. It did satisfy them both.

"Hinata-chan," Naruto began. "There is a place I want to show you."

Once again, Hinata followed, curious to what this place was.

They walked towards to where the Hokage faces were carved in the mountain (is it Hokage Mountain?). Hinata continued to follow Naruto along a narrow path up the hill. It was a place she didn't see before. They were getting close to the top.

"Close your eyes. I'll guide you."

Hinata did what she was told. Naruto covered her eyes with his hands just in case. They continued to walk up the rocky path until she could feel soft grass under her feet.

"Open your eyes," he said as he removed his hands.

Her eye sight was a bit fuzzy but quickly recovered. The sight made her gasp. Though it was only a small area, the place was beautiful. Trees were shading them from the radiant sun. Flowers surrounded the outskirst of the small area as if professional planters had decorated the place. What excited her the most was that they could see all of Konoha.

"This is my favourite place to go to when I'm troubled or when I return from a mission to relax. I found it a year ago."

"Th-this place, it is just beautiful from up here," she said, still shocked.

"Take a seat." They sat down. "You know, you're the first person to see this view with me."

"I am?"

"Yep, I kept it a secret."

Hinata sat where she was, admiring the view. She found the place better than the lake.

As the sun was beginning to set, Hinata laid her head on his lap. He started to stroke her soft hair. They watched the sun go down. It was beautiful. The sky turned from blue to red, to orange, to pink and to purple. Before the sun had disappeared for the day, he stood up with Hinata's hands in his and got down on one leg. He pulled out a small blue box from his pocket and placed it in his hand.

"Hinata-chan, will you marry me?" he asked as he opened the box.

Inside was a gold ring with a shining diamond on the top.

Hinata jumped up and squealed at the sun disappeared and the village lights were turned on. She tightly wrapped her arms around him.

"I will marry you Naruto!"

He only smiled and placed the ring on her right ring finger. She admired the cool object and found some writing on the back.

End of chapter 1. Well, I finished one story but I can't think of anything for the other. All I could think of is this story and completing it. Sorry if this didn't start as well as the first chapter in the other story. Please review!
