A/N: I think we all know that I don't own Naruto :P but I hope that you all enjoy my new fanfic. It'll revolve around KonoxHana in their older years unlike the one I did last time that was more fluff with them in their teens... (Baby Sitting! Read it if you haven't hee hee) Also we will have our basic pairings in here. (i.e NaruHina, SasuSaku, SaiIno, ect...) But this will be about their journey into adulthood, together and experiencing love in new ways now that they can choose what they want :3 Please review and favorite! Enjoy!
"Okay, Hanabi, I can catch it this time around!" Konohamaru opened his mouth wide. The young woman giggled as she tossed a popcorn kernel at him. It hit his nose then landed on the floor with all the other sad pieces of popcorn.
"Augh… I really thought I had it this time... " He sighed as he took the bag from Hanabi. She rolled her eyes.
"You're really bad at this game."
Konohamaru pouted, pulling Hanabi into his arms and leaning back into the couch. He rested his face on the top of her head, as he always did. Hanabi smiled as she cuddled closely to her loved one. They had been dating now for a significant amount of time now. The two young people are nearing the age of 23, and the young man has finally moved into his own apartment. Konohamaru is now going to be leading Boruto's 3 man team, and Hanabi had finally inherited the Hyugan compound. Life was simple and easy-going.
"I'm not bad at this game… You just have terrible aim." Konohamaru teased, tickling Hanabi's neck with his nose. She hummed a little and smiled over at him.
"I beg to differ… Don't you have to visit the 7th Hokage today? He's a very busy man."
"Ah! Y-yeah… I've been meaning to inquire him about something important…" Konohamaru murmured. Hanabi released herself from the shinobi and grasped his large hand in her dainty one.
"What is it about? Anything I can help with?"
"Naw, it's nothing really. It's about some mission… Nothing for you to be concerned about," Konohamaru smiled sweetly.
"I suppose it can't be helped. Well, I need to go to some meeting with all those stuffy elders." Hanabi sighed as she stood up, stretching her limbs and arching her back. Konohamaru nodded, standing alongside her. He turned her around and pulled her in by the waist.
"Don't let them bring you down. Be safe on your journey... " He smiled gently down at the beautiful Hyugan. He kissed her lips sweetly before setting off towards the Hokage building.
"Don't cause too much trouble for the Hokage, alright?" Hanabi smiled as she stepped out of Konohamaru's apartment.
"Naruto, I'm freaking out!" Konohamaru walked around in circles in front of the Hokage.
Naruto clicked away at his computer, paying no mind to the young man standing before him. Too much work, and Konohamaru bothering him about his love life wasn't on the agenda.
"Hanabi... Augh! I'm crazy about her! I just...! Ugh! I don't know how to pop the question!"
Naruto arched an eyebrow, his eyes still studying the screen before him. "Mm hmm..."
Konohamaru flopped down in a chair and angrily ran his fingers through his hair. The little box in his pocket felt heavy... He finally bought the perfect wedding ring for the most perfect woman in existence. The problem was executing his plan...
"What do I do?"
The blonde man lazily scratched his stubble and leaned back in his chair. He yawned a bit as Konohamaru's eyes desperately studied the man before him. Naruto tapped his chin and hummed thoughtfully. His eyes suddenly lit up, Konohamaru's heart leaping with excitement.
"That's it!"
"What is?! What do I do?!"
"I forgot to water the plants today!"
"GAH!" Konohamaru groaned. "Where you even listening, you idiot?!"
Naruto glanced up and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Ah… Sorry, Konohamaru… I've been swamped with so much work that even I haven't had any time for Hinata. I feel like if I don't get any one-on-one time soon, I'm gonna go crazy."
Konohamaru sighed, leaning forward and placing his face in his hands in agitation. He felt a warm calloused hand rest on his shoulder. He peeked up and saw the blonde looking down at him with a sympathetic look in his eyes.
"Look, Konohamaru. You don't have to worry so much about how to ask her. I mean, I went through the same process you did. From what I learned, the person you love will appreciate and cherish any memory shared with you. Whether that be getting ramen together, or proposing. Just trust your gut." Naruto softly smiled down at his brotherly figure.
Konohamaru nodded, straightening up. Naruto was right. He needed to trust himself more with Hanabi. He knew her inside and out, upside down and sideways. He loved her, and he was pretty sure Hanabi was equally head over heels with him.
"Okay… I'm gonna do it!"
Naruto grinned and gave him a hearty pat on the back. "Great! I know everything will turn out as planned! Eh… Konohamaru?"
"Yes?"
"Can you stop by my house and water my plants?..." Naruto scratched his cheek and gave a lopsided grin. "Thanks."
