Hinata raced eagerly to the blond boys apartment, not wanting this sudden strength to abandon her when she needed it most.
Her paces slowed, as she was faced within a 2metre distance to the entry of the boys apartment.
She could feel her nerves already starting to object, a strong side of her being persuaded to run as far as possible.
Getting to her crushes door had been something she could never do, slight accomplishment filled the back of her mind for even making it this far.
The raven haired girl stood silently, reaching deep down for the boost of confidence to rise back up.
For she would need all the strength she had right now to do this.
Taking baby steps toward the boys door, she breathed in slow, heavy breaths, fighting the doubt in the back of her mind.
Reaching her pale, trembling hand toward the wooden door, already preparing to bolt before he could see who was there, she forced her palm to a fist and hit it softly against the wood.
She knew he couldn't of heard such a silent noise, but a part of her was hoping he wouldn't be in there, so she could further delay this absolute nightmare.
Where had all the confidence faded to? In the moment she needed it the most!
Kiba's words managed to push there way through all of her anxious thoughts, she knew she had to admit how she felt, or, in her mind, she'd never be able to fully mature.
Clutching a hand to her chest she couldn't help but close her eyes and smile, Kiba-kun's words were so perfect and encouraging…When did he learn such inspiring words?
She made a mental note to remember to ask him about it later, but right now she had only one person in mind to talk to.
Lifting her hand up a second time, she much more confidently knocked on the boys front door, making sure he would definitely be able to hear her.
"N-Naruto-kun?"
Hinata eagerly knocked again, slightly more softer, trying not to appear too rude and persistent.
Her stomach seemed to drop down to her knees as the door went unanswered, struggling to not bolt away behind a nearby fence.
Another awkward moment past, still no reply to her pleading knocks.
"H-How could he not be home?!"
Muttering to herself, the anxious girl began to grow annoyed, as her excitement and confidence seemed to be turning into a huge waste.
"H-he has to be here!"
Knocking loudly on his door again she grew impatient, fearing she wouldn't be able to find this confidence a second time.
"Naruto-kun!!"
Her knocks turn to bangs, as she suddenly felt really angry at the boy for not being here for her to confess to.
What else could he be doing?! At the ramen stand? It's past lunch time! What does he do, eat 24 hours a day!!
The girls banging grew louder as she was overcome with such disappointment and frustration.
"Dammit! Naruto-kun! Answer the damn door!!"
She didn't even recognise her own voice at that moment, she'd never been this agitated before, especially not towards the boy she has loved her whole life.
With one final frustrating slam on the door, hopes turning to doubt, she heard a click at the handle of the door.
The girl froze, all that previous anger vanishing and turning to her natural anxiety.
H-had he been there the whole time??
The door slowly creaked open, her eyes wide with nerves, awaiting to see that familiar and refreshing face she's been so eager to found just a moment ago.
She was met with nothing.
The door had been unlocked the whole time, her powerful knocks causing to much trouble for the door to stay close under such pressure.
Hinata stood there, facing the empty doorway.
"H-hello?"
No reply greeted her.
What should she do? Close the door and leave before the blonde returned home? Or…
No, she couldn't…It would be impolite to intrude in someone else's home…Even if it was foolishly unlocked.
Though, the stronger part of her knew she couldn't just back away and pretend this didn't happen, she had to recieve some form of prize from all her newly found strength.
Slowly gripping the handle, she gently pushed open the boys door, flinching at every creak that escaped the wooden entrance.
It was a high possibility that he has just been sleeping the whole time, after all, he did sleep like a log.
A blush crossed her face at the thought of entering Naruto's room…The place she couldn't even dare dream about being in.
"Excuse m-me? N-Naruto-kun? Are you in here…?"
The room was lit
by an open window to the right of the room, revealing all the mess
covering the floor,
Raman packets and clothes were scattered
around all visible areas, she giggled, finding his mess and love for
ramen amusing.
Then she found something that made her heart sink.
The raven haired intruder picked up the photo album placed on a pile of dirty clothes, the page open to a picture of Naruto and Sakura cuddling together on his couch.
She noticed the rather annoyed expression on Sakura-chans face, and smirked.
As long as his feelings for Sakura were not returned, she still stood a chance.
Noises from down the hallway caught her attention, as she placed the album back down to the floor.
Naruto-kun…was here?
She eagerly stepped ahead, the picture somehow boosting her confidence, as she prepared herself for her moment.
Today, she would tell the boy she has loved for many years, just how she felt.
Hinata stood nervously by the boys bedroom door, shyly peeking inside to make sure she wasn't interrupting him getting changed.
Not that she'd mind at all.
Through the small opening of his door, she observed the same mess that covered his lounge room, and she noticed a picture resting on a desk…She couldn't quite make it out exactly, but she guessed it was of the old team 7.
Hinata felt sadness for the broken up team, she couldn't even begin to image losing once of her team mates…
Suddenly her thoughts were broken as a familiar boy filled her view, resting some of his weight against the cupboard, he chuckled and made a grin towards the other side of the room.
Not even thinking of what he could be starring at, she gazed upon the half naked body of the boy, barely managing to not let out a cry of surprise.
The blonde had gained such muscle in the time he was away training, even though this had been the first time she had seen such a revealed Naruto, she could tell he had matured greatly.
She wondered her body had matured that much…
Staring intimately at the boys bare chest, barely remembering to breathe, she suddenly heard another voice in the room.
He wasn't alone? How could she confess if he had company…But who could it be-
"Come on Naruto! Stop showing off, you big perve. Come over here already."
Hinata recognised the voice straight
away.
"…S-sakura-chan…"
Before she'd even realized she'd said anything, Naruto was staring across at the gap in the door.
"Hmm? Is someone there?"
The raven haired girl moved swiftly out of view, as she took in a breath and hoped he hadn't seen her.
"What do you mean? I didn't hear anything…"
Sakura protested at the attention span of her team mate.
"You know how I hate waiting."
Hinata heard footsteps from within the room and prayed they wouldn't walk out to reveal her intrusion
Then she heard deep breathing coming from inside the room. Carefully peeking around the corner, she was met with the image of both Naruto and Sakura, embracing each other.
Sakura's hands were trailing there way around Naruto's bare skin, running there way down to the rim of his orange pants. Naruto's hands were working there way up sakura's legs, slowly reaching up underneath her short skirt.
Hinata was shocked. What was happening? Why was Sakura touching Naruto-kun like that…-
Pulling her head back around the corner, she rested her head against the wall, heart pounding in her chest.
"Now…Let's get these restricting things off…"
The shocked intruder heard giggling among the two teens, as the sound of a soft moan escaped the blondes lips.
Hinata couldn't stand anymore, regaining some form of consciousness she raced her way out of the blondes apartment. Tripping over some empty packets of ramen on the way out.
Running towards somewhere, anywhere for her to try and come to terms with what had just happened, tears forming in her gentle eyes, she collided head on into a very familiar face.
Stumbling over into the ground together, the young man took a few moments to regain his breathe before realizing who the other was and, reaching across, wiped a fallen tear from his team-mates face.
"Hinata-chan…What happened?"
