Hinatacentric: The Morning After

Her mouth was slightly open, lips begging to be kissed, but he held himself back; she needed the sleep. A small smirk appeared on his face at the reason why she was so exhausted. He lifted his hand and gently ran his fingers through her midnight locks, amazed again at the silky smoothness. How did he possibly manage to capture this beautiful creature?

"I love you, Hinata." He whispered to the sleeping woman beside him, eyes shining with his conviction to always uphold the vows he made to her last night.

"I love you too." She replied with a smile.
