Disclaimer: Naruto ish not mine dammit!!! But Apple is :)


Orange x Apple

"B-b-but K-kiba.." stuttered Hinata. "I'm sorry Hina-chan, but I can't handle your stuttering. As friends I could because we don't really talk during training," explained Kiba emotionlessly.

"I'm sorry," he said again before he turned his back on her and stalked away. Hinata hung her head sadly and made her way to one of the benches nearby. She sat down slowly and let out an audible sigh. 'I knew he'd dump me..' thought Hinata sadly. She had already noticed his pained looks every time she said something.

And also because Ino had been warning her to dump him before he did because she had spotted him frequenting Ichiraku's lately. Chouji said he had been flirting non-stop with Ayame. The Hyuuga heiress cradled her head in her hands.

Naruto skipped along the stone path, tossing an apple into the air as he whistled merrily. He froze as he saw Hinata sobbing all by herself on a bench. Naruto snatched the apple out of the air before it hit the ground and went over to her trembling form cautiously.

He absentmindedly polished the apple on his orange jacket and slipped it into his pocket. He stretched out a finger and tapped Hinata tentatively on the shoulder. She looked up with red-rimmed eyes and tried to stifle a sob.

"H-hey.. What's wrong Hinata-chan?" asked Naruto with genuine concern in his cerulean eyes. Hinata pressed her lips together tightly and shook her head. The heiress sniffled softly as a gust of wind blew through the park, scattering leaves and flower petals alike.

Naruto noticed her slight shiver and shrugged off his jacket. He draped it over her shoulders, only to find her look up at him, astonished. She had long given up on her infatuation with Naruto because she believed that he would never like her back. A simple gesture suddenly made those forgotten feelings resurface.

Something hard knocked her on the elbow and slid a hand into his jacket pocket delicately. She pulled out the crimson fruit and looked at Naruto quizzically with her pale eyes. "That's for Tsunade baa-chan," explained Naruto while he rubbed his neck, blushing. "You can have if if you like Hinata-chan."

"Really?" asked Hinata, eyes shining. Naruto nodded seriously. "It's a really nice apple. I looked for it for ages! I'll just go buy another one for Tsunade baa-chan," said Naruto as he stood up, patting Hinata on the back. "Don't be sad okay? You can have my jacket!" he called back as he ran back in the direction he came from. A rosette tint coloured her cheeks as all her former feelings came flooding back, stronger than before. "Thank you.."


Please review! Dedicated to my very own Apple-kun. Daisuki..
