~Bumblebees~
It was a bright and sunny day. Hang on. That's too cliche and overrated of a start. Correction: It was a dark and dreary day. That's too...depressing. Happy day? Warm day? Dry? Lovely? Forget it. It was a day.
In one of the parks of Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Hinata were sitting under a large tree, with a blanket under them and a small picnic basket by their sides. The shy Hyuuga heiress had finally worked up the courage to ask her revered idol out, though Naruto had taken the offer up as a friend, and not in any romantic point of view.
Nevertheless, Hinata was positively ecstatic. She had packed two bentos, making each onigiri in them meticulously, and spent yesterday drifting around on a high cloud of happiness.
The duo had met in the park, and, cerulean eyes sparkling, Naruto had complimented her on the carefully made lunch. Hyuuga Hinata had never felt so incredibly happy.
That was, until a small buzzing noise was heard, and Naruto-kun began screaming and ran off in the other direction.
Feeling rather hurt, Hinata looked up to see what would warrant such loud exclamations and running. She didn't do anything...
"Naruto-kun? D–Daij–joubu (are you all right)?" she stuttered out, blushing a light crimson.
When she saw a flash of blond hair in the tree above her, she realized that Naruto had climbed the tree to get away from her.
Feeling tears come to her lavender eyes, she murmured, "You don't want to have lunch with me? You could've told me instead of running away."
Eyes widening, Naruto dropped back down gingerly. "It's not that Hinata-chan, it's just that–" Before he could finish his sentence, he yelled again, and hid behind Hinata.
The girl raised an eyebrow, though mentally.
"What is it, Naruto-kun?"
"The bee."
"The bee?"
"Yup. Bumblebees are scary, and after I discovered I had a bit of an allergic reaction when stung...multiple times..." he trailed off.
"Oh," Hinata answered.
"Sorry. I have to go now, before the bee comes back. I'm really sorry about this, Hinata-chan," Naruto apologized Sincerely.
Hinata felt a twitch of annoyance. "If the bee leaves, you can stay, Naruto-kun?"
The blond nodded hesitantly at Hinata's sweet tone. "We could always meet up again..."
"No," Hinata murmured softly. "I'll...take care of the bee."
Naruto watched with wide innocent eyes as Hinata turned around to face the small creature buzzing around. Seconds later, the little thing hightailed out of the park as fast as it could fly.
The high school student watched incredulously with wide eyes as sweet little Hinata turned back to face him, and smiled. "Did you like the onigiri fillings? I have some dessert too, if you're done."
Mentally, Naruto reminded himself that Hyuuga Hinata was related to the infamous Hyuuga Neji, who was rumored to have made a grown man run screaming. Then again, it was just a rumor, right?
Watching lavender eyes smile at him, he decided that he wasn't going to be trying anything that would appear to be provoking anytime soon.
Inspiration is really running lately...as usual, please do review.
