Expectations

Young NejiHina Fan fiction

Warning: Again, this is a NejiHina fic. Don't like it, don't read it. I suck in making titles and summary, you already know that. I'm also not good in English so yeah, bad grammar and spelling. Maybe, a little bit OOC.

Note: This takes place after Hinata's third birthday, where Neji also got his cursed seal and before Hiashi activated Hizashi's cursed seal (when Hizashi made that 'killing intent' look). Neji is obviously 4 years old here and Hinata is a year younger than Neji.

Summary: They already made their expectations, even though it's too early for them to do that.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, NejiHina wouldn't be considered incest so many fans can love this 'couple'.

It was a fine morning and little Neji is still asleep since yesterday after receiving his cursed seal. His father, Hizashi stayed by his side the whole time to make sure Neji is still fit. He knows how hard it is to have such seal carved on the forehead that's why he did his best to make sure his four year-old son feel better.

When he opened the sliding door, the sunshine touches Neji's sleepy face. Its warmth is what made him woke up. Then there he goes; he rubbed his eyes and yawned and tried his best to stand up. His father smiled at him and went to him. He touched his son's shoulder and said, "I'm very proud of you, Neji. You are really strong." And with that, he hugged his father and smiled, too with a little blush on his face.

They went now to the branch house's kitchen to get their breakfast. While Hizashi was preparing, the little boy asked his father about something.

"Father, since when did you learned of Hinata?" He was really curious to know his father's answer.

Hizashi wasn't surprised with Neji's question. Instead, he expected it from his son since it is really surprising for Neji's part. "Why'd you ask?"

"Nothing, father. It's just that I'm confused that you know her and I don't." Neji pouted his lips and looked bit envy with his father.

Hizashi laughed a bit. "First and foremost Neji, you shall call her Hinata-sama, not just Hinata. Do you understand?"

Neji's eyes widened. He did an apologizing smile and scratched the back of his head. "Sorry, father…"

"It's okay. Just remember that always, okay?" Hizashi said while filling their bowls with rice. Neji straightened his body on his seat. "Yes, father!"

Hizashi went to the table and served their breakfast. Filling his son's glass with milk, he decided to answer his question. "Hinata-sama was introduced to the whole clan when she was born. You were still one year old by then…that's why it's useless to tell you since you cannot even remember it." Hizashi smiled and it's his glass now that he is filling with. "Also, wouldn't be a great surprise to see her on her third birthday?" Hizashi wore his bitter smile but Neji wasn't looking. He was concentrating on eating his breakfast. Seconds just after that, little Neji spoke. "I see, father."

They continued eating their food. When suddenly the door opened and a branch house member entered. "Hiashi-sama wants to see you and Neji-kun."

"Okay. Tell them we are on our way." Hizashi said, bowing to each other. He then turned to his son. "Neji, finish your food already. We will see Hiashi-sama."

"Yes, father!" Neji then increases his speed in eating. "Be careful not to choke up." And with that Neji finished his food and his milk. "Finish!" Little Neji was so excited again. 'Maybe I can get to see Hinata again' Neji giggled inwardly.

While walking through the hallways, the little boy did wonder again. "Father, are you related to Hinata's father?" Hizashi looked at Neji with a blank face. "Oh-oh… sorry, father, I forgot; I mean, Hinata-sama's father." Hizashi wanted to laugh but he supressed it; he didn't want to make his son look embarrass. "Yes. I am. He is my twin brother but he is older than me…just a few seconds." "Oh…" and this was all Neji can say.

They just continued their walk until they reached a sight of a room where Hiashi and his daughter, Hinata was standing outside of it.

"It seems that Hiashi-sama is giving Hinata-sama some talk." Hizashi explained to the young boy that seems blushing. "What is he saying to Hinata-sama, father?"

"I don't know. You know it's better if we don't mind their business. Maybe they are just having their father and daughter moment." But in reality, Hizashi knows that his twin brother is saying some things to Hinata that is obviously cannot understand by a 3 year-old girl.

'Hm, Hinata-sama looks terrified. I wonder why…' Hizashi thought to himself.

Neji keeps blushing, staring so deeply with the cute heiress. 'I wonder if Hinata-sama remembers me from yesterday'

Hizashi wanted to laugh at Neji, "You know, son, it is unmanly if you keep on blushing."

Neji snapped from his daydreaming. He felt a bit embarrassed. "S-sorry, father."

Hizashi gave him a smile and a strong squeeze on his shoulder. "You know what is a manly thing to do?" "What is it, father?" Hizashi looked at Neji on his eyes. "Make the girl blush for you."

The little Neji was so happy to hear that 'advice'. "Okay, father, thank you for that." Neji then looked determined. Silly but determined to make the shy Hinata blush…for him.

Neji decided to ask again his father. "Can I also know what this seal is for?" Hizashi was silent at some moments. He wasn't prepared to answer this. Somehow, he knows his son is also not prepared to understand the answer to it, too.

"I'll give you a clue. It's related to Hinata-sama." And thus, all was Hizashi can say to his son.

"Oh… Okay, father!" And once again, this determined boy was feeling proud of himself. 'This means I can spend more time with Hinata-sama.'

'Sorry, Neji.' Hizashi apologized to himself.

They finally made it and greeted them. "Hiashi-sama, you called us."

"Ah, yes…Hinata, you can stay here outside. Wait for me here." Hiashi said to his daughter. "Y-yes, father."

"Please, let us go inside… Also, you" Hiashi looked at Neji before opening the door. Hiashi went inside the room first.

"Yes, Hiashi-sama." But before Neji went inside, he stole a one last glance at Hinata and finally went inside.

oOo

That's it for the first chapter. So, what do you think? I thought I can make this story into a one-shot because I'm still scared to make story with chapters but I realized I had to break it maybe into 3 or 4 chapters. I'm still not sure, we'll see about that.

Thank you for reading and for your reviews in advance!
