I'm sorry I'm a little late. It took me a while to write this one. I hope you guys like it!
Himawari woke up with a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her face. Everyone, including the ignorant Boruto, realized that she seemed extremely cheerful this morning.
Everything felt magical to Himawari and it was a perfect day. She managed to get up before her alarm rang (isn't that so much better than hearing that annoying ring?), her mother (Hinata) made her favourite meal for lunch and most importantly, she had her date with Inoijin today. That was what made everything worth it.
As she left for school, she informed her parents that she would be late today as she was hanging out with Inoijin. Naruto's fiercly blue eyes looked to Hinata's lavender orbs in question, which was returned with a smile.
After Himawari left, Naruto said "I will most certainly break Inoijin's hands if he messes with her"
"Calm down, darling. Himawari can take her of herself. She's a big girl."
"She's growing up so fast. I still remember when she was just a tiny little baby, trying to walk even after falling down repeatedly." Naruto said with a smile.
"Yes, she's grown up so much and she's such an independent girl."
The two proud parents spent some more time reminiscing before going about their work.
~ In school~
Himawari was engrossed thinking about Inoijin and their date that when she was taking her books out of her locker that she didn't realise there was someone waiting behind her. She turned around and gasped as she encountered undeniable handsomeness (It was Inoijin). Her face became evidently red and Inoijin, ever the charmer, teased her saying, "I have that effect on people", winking at her soon after.
Himawari was certain she would faint if he kept up the act. Luckily for her, he was in a hurry and only said "Don't forget about our date, meet me at 4 by the school gate" and then he ran along to class.
This was all she could think about the whole day. She tried guessing where they would go, but no amount of thinking could give her that answer.
She constantly checked her watch for the time during classes and when the school bell rang at 4, she was so excited, she tripped on her shoelace and fell face first on the floor. She looked around hoping no one had seen her, luckily, everyone else had rushed out of the room leaving it empty.
She straightened her clothes and patted her blue hair to make sure it looked presentable, running to the gate soon after. She then tried to catch her breath and keep her calm while walking towards Inoijin, who was patiently waiting for her.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yes"
"I have to go pick up my backpack from home and then we'll go for our date. I'm really sorry"
"No problem"
As they were walking, he said "I was going to blindfold you, so you wouldn't know where we were going, but you tripping over rocks wouldn't be the best start to our date."
Himawari giggled and walked alongside Inoijin. He slowly brought his hands closer to hers, and she could feel her heart beating faster by the second. They intertwined their hands and walked through the streets of Konoha, finally reaching the Yamanaka flower store.
As they walked in, Ino and Sai greeted Himawari. She greeted them too and Inoijin said he'd go get his backpack.
In the meanwhile, Sai asked "How is Naruto doing? Is he still eating ramen all the time?"
Himawari giggled and answered that he was obsessed with Teuchi's ramen.
Before Inoijin came down, Ino winked at Himawari and said "So you and Inoijin, huh?"
Himawari's face turned beetroot red and she was certain she would die of had always known that she liked Inoijin and loved teasing her.
Before she could be humiliated further, Inoijin rushed down with his backpack and dragged Himawari out the door before bidding his parents a hurried farewell.
Himawari was wondering whether it was obvious her face was red and she looked to Inoijin, who was wondering the same about his own flushed face. Himawari looked at him and giggled.
"What?" asked Inoijin.
"Nothing. It's just that you're blushing and I thought I was the only nervous one."
"I just want to make sure everything works out perfectly and that you like it."
Himawari smiled at him and he grinned back.
About five minutes later, they were by the woods at the end of Konoha's public park. Himawari wasn't sure if they were at the right place but she decided to trust Inoijin.
Inoijin took her deeper into the woods, and a few minutes later, they reached a massive tree. It branches were so high and spread out wide, Himawari couldn't see the treetop. Inoijin began climbing and Himawari followed suit. Finally they reached a neat little treehouse atop a sturdy branch.
Himawari was amazed to find such a treehouse. They got in and sat down. They were greeted by cute little pictures hung around that were definitely drawn by a younger Inoijin, they were even signed.
"These pictures and the treehouse are amazing! Did you build it?"
"My dad and I built it in the summer five years back. I used to hang out here all the time. I've never let anyone else come here. You're the first." He said with a smile.
"I'm flattered, Inoijin" Himawari said, blushing as she always did.
Neither of them realized that they were getting closer everytime they talked. Himawari was getting giddy, being alone with Inoijin for so long. Inoijin spread open a picnic blanket and set down a couple of sandwiches and orange juice from his backpack. The both of them begin eating and were talking about school and classes.
They finished just as the sun began to set and they sat back and watched the yellow, orange and gold hues of the sky. It looked absolutely magical, like a scene out of a fairytale.
The setting was perfect, Inoijin slowly turned towards Himawari and gently used one hand to hold her delicate fingers and placed the other on her cheeks. He brushed back her hair and Himawari could feel her pulse rising, her heart was beating faster and faster.
She could only see Inoijin and nothing else at the moment. He slowly brought his face closer and she could feel his hot breath on her. He then reduced the distance between their mouths and their lips met. Himawari didn't react at first, because she couldn't believe INOIJIN was kissing HER. She gradually started moving her mouth and she was a natural. While they kissed, it felt like the earth revolved around only the two of them. Nothing else mattered except Himawari and Inoijin.
After about 20 seconds both of them stopped, out of breath and visibly flushed. Inoijin looked into Himawari's eyes and said "You look beautiful." Himawari was uncertain how to react and replied with her signature blush.
After another 30 minutes of talking and more kissing, the two of them walked home hand in hand. Once she reached home, she replayed the kiss in her head a million times, it was perfect! She couldn't have asked for anything better. She spent the night dreaming about herself and Inoijin.
