Ok, so MAYBE I shouldn't start ANOTHER fanfic but I really, really want to do a story about Naruto and Hinata. They're my favourite couple and it kills me that Naruto doesn't see it. Well I have the fanfic about SasuSaku, one about Kimimaro, and I'm thinking about doing a songfic about SasuSaku to the song Nothing by The Script. :D Well hopefully I finish this story and it's not just another one of my discontinued stories. :D
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I'm not Masashi Kishmoto or whatever his name is, although just because I don't know his name doesn't mean he doesn't hold a special place in my heart, it just means that Naruto doesn't belong to me. Neither does Starbucks D:
"Hey, Hinata! Are you coming with us?" Kiba asked me.
I looked up from my sketchbook at Kiba. "Uh, yeah. One second. Let me just finish shading here." I quickly, but carefully finished drawing the shadow under the clouds and stood up. I put my sketchbook back in my bag.
"Where are we going again?" I asked Kiba as I followed him to his car. He was my ride to like everywhere.
"The movies, duh. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you earlier but my cousin is coming in from Suna. He might or might not be joining us in the movies." Kiba said cheerfully.
"So you don't know for sure?" I asked him, surprised.
"Yeah, well, that's my cousin. A real wild card." He said rolling his eyes.
"O-ok, then." I said quietly. Another friend to make…. But wait what makes me think that he even wants to be friends with me? I mean I'm really quiet and shy and not at all pretty, despite what my friends say.
"Are you gonna stand there all day, Hinata?" Kiba asked me sounding annoyed. "The movie starts in half an hour and it'll take fifteen minutes to get across town. Plus we gotta stop at Starbucks for my coffee."
"O-oh. Sorry, Kiba." I said and got in his passenger seat.
"Lighten up, Hinata. I'm just playin' with ya. Sakura just texted me and told me she'd save some seats for us as long as we got her something from Starbucks." Kiba said to me as he drove along.
"I'm sorry, Kiba. I'm just really shy. You know that." I said quietly as I shrunk down in my seat.
Kiba groaned. "Seriously, Hinata. Quit apologizing. It's ok. I'm not actually upset. I think I'm going to tell the girls to give you a makeover to force you out of your shell or something. You always wear the jacket. Seriously you would be really hot if you flaunted what you have."
I blushed a deep, crimson red. Kiba looked over at me and rolled his eyes. "Ok, Hinata. I'll get off your case, but I just want you to be a little more confident in yourself. I don't want you to have any regrets this summer. I mean we'll be seniors next year. We need to live life!" he said as we pulled into the Starbucks parking lot.
"You go in. I need to send some messages. Here's twenty-five bucks. Get me a small coffee double-double. Get Sakura whatever you're getting." He said and thrust the money at me. Kiba always had money on him. It made me wonder where he got it from.
I took the money and got out of his car. I walked in and stood in line. There was only one other person in line with me so I looked around as I waited for him to order.
This Starbucks was just like any other Starbucks you would find around the world. Same chairs, same paintings, same equipment. The guy in front of me finished ordering so I stepped forward.
"Small coffee, double-double, and two small mocha frappucinos." I ordered. I dimly heard the bell over the door chime as another customer came in but I ignored it.
The girl at the cash took my-or rather Kiba's- money and gave me my change. I pocketed the change and went over to where my drinks would come out.
"Here you go." the guy behind the counter said as he handed me my drinks. I didn't take the tray even though it would've been easier to carry it on them. I hated those dumb trays.
I turned around, and took a step forward. Just as I did I rammed into someone and one of the mocha frappes went all over him.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry." I said. I could feel the heat burning my cheeks.
"It's ok. It was my fault. I should've watched where I was going." He said and looked at me with brilliant blue eyes. I couldn't help but stare.
"N-no it's really my fault. I'm such a klutz." I stammered.
He smiled and I felt my heart start to race. He had spiky blonde hair that fell into his eyes, which were the brightest blue I'd ever seen in my life. He was taller than me by at least a head.
I tore my eyes from his and looked down at his ruined shirt. "I'm really sorry." I said quietly.
"No worries. I was just hoping that someone would spill a mocha frappucino on this shirt. I was getting tired of it." He joked.
I still felt horrible. "I'll pay for you for your shirt. I set down the drinks on a nearby table and started to dig around in my pockets for the extra money.
"No it's really no big deal. It's not every day I meet a beautiful girl who spills cold coffee all over me." he said.
No way was I beautiful. I couldn't even cut pretty.
"Uh, I'm really sorry again about the coffee, but my friend is waiting for me. I really have to go. Sorry again." I spit out and then ran out of there.
Kiba didn't even comment on how long it took me to get coffee; he just took one last look at his phone and then slid it in his pocket.
"Hey, where's your drink?" he asked me.
"Oh I didn't get one." I lied as I put the money in his glove compartment.
"Oh ok. That's good." He said distractedly. "My cousin said he's going to the movies by the way. He just texted me."
"Oh, that's cool." I said softly, my mind on the blue-eyed stranger.
We bought our tickets with ten minutes left until the show started so we hung out in the lobby. Sakura, Ino, Tenten, and Temari came out of the theater with their massive purses. They grabbed my arm and pulled me into the bathroom.
"Come on, missy. Kiba told us that his cousin was coming and we're going to set you two up. But we're gonna sexify you first." Temari said as they set down their purses on the long counter.
Temari pulled out some jeans and a shirt out of her purse while the other girls started pulling out makeup.
Let me just say that you don't say no to Temari. Like, ever. So I was powerless to deny. I took the outfit and went into an empty stall. I quickly changed out of my clothes and into the outfit. Everything was a little tight even though Temari and I were the same size. I think it was because she got everything a size too small.
The jeans hugged my legs like a second skin, and the shirt was tight and v-neck. It had three-quarter length sleeves though which was good, because I got chilly in the movies. Even in the summer.
The shirt was really interesting to look at. It was blue and it had a bunch of sparkle all in weird designs. It was a beautiful shirt.
I emerged from the stall and the girls all oohed and ahhed.
"Alright, Hinata only needs a little makeup on so put the essentials in front of me girls." Ino said. She was a whiz with figuring out what makeup could go with what.
She picked out some mascara, lip gloss, an eye shadow. Then she handed them over to Sakura who had a really steady hand.
She quickly put on a little of everything. "We're not letting you look in the mirror, because you'd only make us wash it off. Just trust s when we say you look amazing." She said when she was done.
I sighed. "If you say so."
We all walked out of the bathroom together. "Wait, I forgot to get my other clothes. You guys go ahead into the movie. Just save me a seat, ok?" I said to them.
"Are you sure?" Tenten asked me.
"Yeah, of course. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." I said, and then went back inside the bathroom.
I forgot which stall I had used so I had to check all of them. When I found my clothes I wadded them up in a ball –after I resisted the urge to put on my jacket- and walked out of the bathroom.
Kiba was standing facing the bathroom talking to someone with spiky blonde hair when I emerged. He must have waited for me, how sweet.
I froze when I heard some of their conversation.
"She was so amazing though man. Not anything like the girls I usually go for. She was really quiet and shy and kept apologizing." The blonde was saying. Uh oh.
"That sounds exactly like my friend Hinata. She's still in the bathroom but she'll be out soon." Kiba said. He must not be able to see me from where I was standing.
"I'm glad I had an extra shirt in my car. Man, I would take another frappe to the chest if I could see her again. She's not like other girls man. I can't stop thinking about her man." The blonde shook his head and then turned around. His eyes wandered around and then landed on me. His face lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Hey, dude, there she is!" he said pointing at me. I blushed and started walking towards them as the blonde pulled Kiba to me.
"Figures Hinata would be your mystery girl, man." Kiba said to the blonde. Then he said to me "You didn't tell me you met my cousin at Starbucks."
I blushed even deeper. "I didn't know he was your cousin." I replied.
"Well then let me make the introductions. Hinata, this is my cousin Naruto. Naruto this is your Starbucks girl Hinata." Kiba said.
Naruto opened his mouth to say something but Kiba cut him off. "Shut it, lover boy. We gotta get into the movie remember?"
"Oh, right." Naruto said as we went over to the guy looking at tickets.
He took our tickets, ripped them in half, and then gave them back to us.
"Third theatre on the left." He said tiredly.
"Thanks, bro." Kiba said with a smile. We followed the ticket collector's directions and walked into the darkened theatre.
"KIBA!" stage-whisper shouts said. They seemed to be coming a few rows up. We waited until the screen got light again and saw our group sitting near the top. We walked up the steps. The only seats left in that row were at the very end. Kiba went first, then me, then Naruto. I could feel his breath on the back of my neck and it gave me the shivers.
We all sat down, me between Kiba and Naruto. I think we'd decided on a romantic comedy this time. But I didn't recognize the title. I settled in for a boring movie.
"Wanna ditch?" a mouth very close to my ear whispered. I jumped about five feet in the air and then turned to look at Naruto.
"Um, what?" I asked him stupidly.
"Do you want to ditch with me?" he asked with a smile on his lips.
I glanced around the theatre to see if anyone was paying attention to us but no one was.
"But I paid like eight dollars for this movie and so did you." I said.
Naruto shrugged. "I can pay you back." He said.
I glanced around again.
Naruto seemed to note this and said "Look, it's ok if you don't want to go you just looked like you really didn't want to watch this movie. I hate RoCo's." he said.
"You call them that too?" I asked him surprised.
He grinned. "Yeah. So are we gonna go or what?" he asked me.
Wow, was he single-minded or what?
I glanced at the screen, and in that one glance I could already tell how the story was going to end out.
"Yeah, let's go." I said.
