Hello everyone! Here's my first entry for NaruHina month! I wasn't going to miss this month again not when I'm still swimming in feels. I love them so much! If anyone didn't see the note on Tis the Season it's not done yet, but I will finish it. If you don't mind more holiday's fic then get ready for more cuteness!

Alright so the first prompt is Sunshine. Let's begin!

I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto-sensei does.

As much as Naruto smiled when he was out in public or around his friends that smile always faded when he went home. Every time he walked through the door he tried not to imagine a loving family that would welcome him home, but he couldn't help it. It was something he thought about whenever he neared the end of a mission or time out with his friends. He tried to take on more missions since the more mission he took meant less time spent in his dark apartment, but Tsunade wouldn't let him work all the time.

When he had to take a day off he trained to the point of exhaustion so he couldn't dwell on the silence that greeted him every time he entered his empty apartment. There were times when he couldn't tire himself out and the part of his mind he tried to ignore bought up all the mean things the villagers told him, all his failures, and the loneliness in his heart. There was a point when Naruto believed that. He would stare at his ceiling and wonder who would spend their lives with him when there were better people out there, not some failure of the village.

However, there was always a little voice in the back of his mind that told him it wasn't true. Well, that wasn't Kurama trying to get him to break so he could take over. A voice that reminded him that there was someone out there who actually liked him. Whenever that voice popped up, Hinata would appear in his mind too.

Naruto noticed that whenever he felt down Hinata was around to help him feel better. Despite the hate from the villagers, rumors, and his own negative thoughts, Hinata was right there to bring him out of the darkness. Sometimes he wondered what she saw in him when he messed up in front of her or said something without thinking. Those things normally earned him a stern glare or reprimand, not a smile that made his heart beat a little bit faster with an offer for help.

Whenever the darkness in his heart almost returned, Hinata's smile always helped him feel better.

Sometimes Naruto couldn't believe that he got to see that smile every morning he woke up and every night before he went to bed. The smile that greeted him when he came home from a long mission or when he was too sick to leave the bed. The same smile that warmed his heart when she accepted his proposal, that made his heart swell when she announced he was going to be a father, and always eased him after a nightmare. The same smile he saw on his children's faces and could bring one to his own face.

Hinata's smile was the ray of sunshine that broke through the darkness in his heart. Every morning when he saw her beautiful smile was another day to show her how much he loved it. It was another day to see that cute blush on her cheeks when he told her too.

I tried to end it on a cute fluffy note since for some reason the ending didn't match up for me, but I think it went by pretty well. I'm going to make sure I post the days for the story and try to make it up if I miss one. Let's hope I don't. Alright, until tomorrow everyone!
