Not shy any more!

I hate being shy. The never ending stuttering and nervous ticks. I can't talk without stuttering. I can't even be in the same room with Naruto-kun with out blushing, and depending on how close he is, fainting. Does he even know I like him? He pays all his attention on Sakura-chan and ramen.

I tried to be like Sakura-chan but she noticed. When we were done with team training she confronted me.

"Hey, Hinata-chan are you ok? You are acting a little today at training? Is it for a special some one?" She winked and nudged me playfully in the side.

"W-what do you-you mean? If-if you don't like me the way I am you can just leave me alone." I stuttered, weakly with false bravo.

"Hinata. I know you too well for you to lie to me. Why or who are you doing this for?" Sakura demanded, her face twisited with worry.

"I-I'm s-so sorry S-Sakura-chan. B-but I thought if I was mo-more lik-like you that Nar-Naruto-kun would like me, like he does you." I said. I started to lower my head but my head was snapped to the side. I looked up to see Sakura looking at me angrily, her hand raised.

"S-sorry" I whispered quietly, tears burning in my eyes. My eyes struggles to focus on her, the edges of my vision blackening.

"Stop saying sorry, stop crying, stop be so nervous and stop fainting. Just stop for once." I looked her in the eyes as she laid her hands on my shoudlers.

"Listen to me Hinata-chan. Don't try to be anyone else other than your self. You're awesome! I mean look at yourself for once your beautiful and if you aren't then I'll be damned. You're crazy strong, you just need to believe in yourself. And if whoever you've been trying to impress hasn't noticed that before than there either really dense or just an idiot. Just as my lil' bro would say 'BELIEVE IT'" Sakura bellowed, ending her improuto speech.

"O-ok. I-I need to think some things over, thank you Sakura-chan!" I said, smiling. As I walked away the information started to sink in to my brain. I than turned around and shouted to Sakura-chan.

She looked at me with a smirk playing on the edge of her lips, eyebrows raised.

"Did you say 'my lil' bro'? "

"Yeah, why did you ask?... Wait did you think he had a crush on me?" Sakura looks on the verge of tumblinf over.

"Oh god, that's to funny, Hina-chan!"

"What about when he said 'Will you go on a date with me' "I mumbled.

"He meant to hang out not a really date. He-he had a rough childhood and doesn't know social ettiquite l." She answered.

"S-so you mean that he doesn't like you like that?"

"Yep!" Sakura answer with a sly smile

"So um c-could you, um, maybe if you would- um tell me who he likes. " I whispered

"Isn't it obvious? He likes you! Why do you think he is always be so clumsy when you are around?"

"Soooo you mean?"

"Yep"

And with a whoosh I was gone and on my way to find Naruto, who I found training at ground four. I ran up to him but he spoke first.

"I need to tell you something important."

"Me too" Without stuttering.

"Ok then on the count of 3 lets say it ok?"

"Ok" My nerves started to fray and I'm beginning to lose my nerve.

1…

2…

3…

"I like you!" We both shouted in unison. Naruto-kun's eyes went wide with shock before his face nelted intot the smugest

"Hinata will you go out with me?" Naruto asked me.

I felt my face get hot I felt like I was going to faint but remember what Sakura-chan told me 'Stop fainting'.

"Yes. Naruto I will"

~Years later~

At the park near the academy

"Hinata remember when I asked you out?" Naruto-kun, my boyfriend of ten years asked leading me to a near by bench

"Yes, I do. It's one of the happiest days of my life." I answered, wondering why he was mentioning this now.

"Hinata, I've grown to love you in ways I never knew were possible. The way your nose crinkles when you giggle, and your hair looks perfect even when you just woke up, and how you chop wirh your left hand even though you're right handed, and how you sleep with onlt one sock o-" Slowly he began rambling, his face was brighr pink.

"Sweets, please slow down. I understand what you are trying to say, I-I feel the exact same way." I was blushing horribly by then, my index fingers began to twich by habbit.

"What I'm trying ro say Hinata, is these past years with tou have been the best years of my life and." Naruto had cleared his throught and search his pocket before going on one knee, presenting a shiny rin- dragonfly pin?

All I could remembee thinking was 'OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod!!!'

"Hinata, I don't have a lot money, I don't have a lot of fancy things that you're used to but I have a lot of love for you and I want to ask you-" He drew a deep breath, a bead of sweat rolled down the side of his flushed face

"Hinata Hyūga, will you make the rest of my life as perfect as you have these past ten years and marry me?"

"Yes! Of course!"

And in that moment I noticed something.

I'm not shy any more. All thanks to Sakura-chan and Naruto-kun.

One things for sure Sakura is going to be a happy auntie in a few months.
