Hinata was tired, weary, and wanted nothing more than to sink into her bathtub full of hot steaming water. She'd been training all morning, and believed herself to be deserving of a break. Trudging back through the compound, she removed her shoes and stepped into the main Hyuuga house, halfheartedly bowing to anyone she passed (which thankfully didn't include her father).

But as she opened the door to her bedroom, she blinked at what she saw inside.

Hanabi.

Hanabi sitting on her bed.

Hanabi sitting on her bed with a very particular book in her hand.

Immediately she was awake again.

"H-H-Hanabi chan!" she squealed, launching across the room to grab at the tome. "W-what are you doing with that?"

The younger, more stoic sibling easily held the book out of her sister's reach, causing Hinata to crash onto the bed empty-handed. "Reading," she replied nonchalantly. "Obviously."

"But that's p-private!" the older sister insisted. "Put it down!"

"I never knew you liked him like that."

Hinata hesitated for a moment, but blushed. "I d-don't know what you're talking about..."

"It says right here, something about Ita -"

"S-stop!" Hinata whined, managing to swipe the book and hold it dearly to her chest. "It's...it's none of your business...Hana chan..."

"Father will be mad when he finds out," Hanabi noted, ignoring her sister's drooping head at her words.

"That's why it's p-private," Hinata mumbled. "Please...don't tell him..."

"I won't. But if you're serious about this, you better be ready to face him when it gets out." With that, Hanabi jumped off the bed and left the room.

Pouting after her sister, Hinata sighed sadly. Hanabi was right. If her father ever found out about her liking him...well, she might as well pack up and leave. He had refused to let her date outside the clan, but to date him, the heir of that clan? He'd probably commit murder.

She relaxed her grip on her diary, looking down at the deep lilac cover with somber eyes. Why did she have to crush on someone like him? Anyone but...him...

Itachi...kun... Blushing, she squeezed the book against her chest again at the thought of him.

She was dead if her father found out. But until then, at least she could dream.

Hello lovely readers!

So, I've decided to go ahead and upload my 365 Day Writing Challenge drabbles from deviantART over here to Fanfiction! And I've decided to organize them in several ways: Hinata-centric drabbles, Itachi-centric, ItaHina-centric, stand alone stories, and even a few with an RPC of mine! If a fic is short and not really it's own story, it will be uploaded as a part of the drabble stories as individual chapters. This fic "Privacy", for example, is the first "chapter" of the ItaHina-centric drabbles, which I've grouped together and called, "A Quiet Love". So, for any little ItaHina drabbles that aren't full short stories, look here!

Anyway, this piece was done for the prompt, "Privacy"! Short and sweet, but I tend to enjoy little snippets of my favorite Naruto couple.

I hope you guys enjoyed! If you did, maybe let me know in a review? They really are my favorite things n_n
