Hinata walked into the Ichiraku ramen bar, in her usual spot, next to Naruto's usual spot. As usual, he was there, eating in his usual, piglike way. She ordered her usual bowl, light on broth, extra eggs.
The monotony was driving her mad. Every day, the same old thing, without any change apart from what Naruto had ordered. There he goes, saying thanks and leaving in the usual way. Day in, day out. And Hinata could not bear to change it. Could not bear to say the one thing that would change her life forever.
"Ramen guy, I love you."
