Well, I won't keep you any longer. I hope you like this one too! I'll be back on day 11! (probably not before)


#5: Friends With Benefits

Would it be so wrong?

Yes, it would.

But-

It. Would. Be. Wrong.

I haven't even asked anything yet!

And you won't.

But I am really turn-

Take a cold shower.

Naruto was having a hot debate with his consciousness.

Things were going well the night before. He went out with all his friends, apart from Rock Lee and Tenten that had to work a night shift on their gym, to celebrate Sakura's promotion to chief surgeon on the best hospital of Tokyo. They were drinking happily and laughing, drawing attention from the whole pub. Shikamaru kept swearing he was not drunk, but his raising and shaky voice betrayed him. Kiba was trying to put sake on Shino's whisky, but he couldn't tell which one was his glass, and always ended up putting it on his own drink. Sasuke tried to keep his cool looks, but Naruto knew he was drunk because he was staring at Sakura for more than ten minutes, not even blinking.

His two best friends would probably get together that night, finally. Naruto, smiled. It was a good night. Even Hinata was slowly sipping a glass of vodka and soda that a very drunk Ino convinced her to taste. She looked pleased and was the only (pretty much) sober person on that table. Every once in a while Naruto would put an arm over her shoulders and make her laugh with some lame joke. Although she was not drunk, her drink took away her shyness and she was starting to feel bold, but tried to remain cautious not to make a fool of herself, particularly in front of Naruto. She double checked every answer before she spoke it, and every idea before she carried it out.

Hinata felt it was a good idea to go to the restroom at that moment, not seeing anything wrong or alcohol-influenced on that decision. She excused herself and went to the restroom, those who could understand her nodded when she left.

Naruto himself was drinking more beer than his bladder could take, and a trip to the bathroom could not be avoided any longer. He was only vaguely aware that Hinata had just left too. Heading towards the end of the bar, not able to walk completely straight, he stopped at the two bathroom doors.

Wait, why is there two doors? Oh right, it's one for men and the other for women. Let's see…

He looked up to the sign on one door.

Ok, the one on the left is for… I think that's a business woman in a suit.

He looked to the sign on the right.

That's definitely a guy wearing a kilt. Haha, that's funny! I didn't know this is a Scottish pub!

Happy to have deciphered the bathroom riddle all by himself even though he was drunk, he pushed the door with the "guy in a kilt" sign and entered. No one was there, but one cubicle was closed, and there was a flushing noise coming from it. Naruto found that bathroom really weird, not like any he ever entered before. He entered one of the cubicles and unzipped his pants, not bothering to close the door. When he finished, he casually looked over his shoulder and froze, his zipper mid-way through its way.

Hinata was looking herself on the mirror, her shirt and bra off, massaging her breasts.

"That bra. Never again." She said to her reflection.

Naruto was drunk but not blind. And his body responded immediately. His cock grew hard on his boxer, and he panicked. What to do? Try to close the door before she could see him? He didn't even took off his hands from his zipper when Hinata turned her eyes on the mirror to his direction. She opened a smile, ready to make fun of him for entering the wrong bathroom, when her eyes noticed his boner. They stood that way, she looking at his boner and he looking at her hard nipples, for what seemed ages. Finally, he closed the door of his cubicle.

"You, ahm, can put your clothes on and go first. I'll be there in a minute." He said.

"T-Thanks."

Hinata put her clothes on again, doing her best to mask her rock-hard nipples marking her violet shirt. Naruto was not blind and neither was she. She saw the size Naruto had inside his boxers and her mind pictured the rest. Hinata was no nun, she had had her (few and short) relationships in college, and was not a virgin anymore. She knew she has felt something for him since they were kids in the same elementary school, but to this day she would not accept it was love.

She rubbed her nipples to make them disappear on the shirt and left the bathroom. Once she left Naruto calmed himself down and paced the room for long minutes before he could get out, his jacket on hand, concealing his crotch. When he got to the table, he saw Chouji and Shino sleeping on Kiba's shoulders, Ino and Sakura doing a can't-blink-first contest, Sasuke trying to sprinkle water on Ino's eyes so Sakura would win, Shikamaru trying to make a house of cards on the table (using their empty glasses), and Hinata looking extremely embarrassed.

"Hem-hem." Half of them looked at him. "We better go before the barman calls the security on us. Let's go outside and I'll call the cabs."

Those awake helped the others to get up and the 8 of them waited on the sidewalk. The first cab arrived, and Naruto put Chouji, Shikamaru and Ino on it, since they lived close to one another. The next cab took only Sakura and Sasuke, with him insisting he would pay for the ride and be sure she would get proper sleep. Naruto doubted that, but let them go, trying to suppress a laugh. The last cab was for Hinata, Kiba and himself. The 3 of them sat on the back sit, Naruto putting Kiba in the middle. Unfortunately, Kiba's place was the closest, so he left Naruto and Hinata with their awkwardness. They dropped her first, and he finally went home, crashing on the couch.

The next morning, he started debating with his consciousness about the fact he was turned on by Hinata and how he wanted to propose an arrangement to her.

He did have a cold shower, taking off last night's scents and putting on clean clothes, but his resolve to talk to her did not diminish. Taking his bike, he rode to her house.

Naruto rang the doorbell once, then twice, and waited. Fate was trying to destroy him, he thought, as she answered the door with a very small shirt and even smaller shorts. She let him in without a word, led him to the living room, and left. He waited 3 long minutes in one of the couches before she reappeared with a sweatshirt and pajama pants, sitting on the couch in front of his.

"Hi." He said, idiotically.

"Hi." She said back, not lifting her eyes from the floor. "Sorry, I was washing my clothes, didn't have anything else to wear."

"You don't have to explain yourself, don't worry! I came here because I wanted to talk to you, about… well…"

"We don't need to." She interrupted. "I made both of us feel uncomfortable, even though I didn't mean it and-"

"Wait, wow, stop right there." He raised his hands, finally getting a glance from her. "I was the moron who entered the wrong bathroom. And I believe you girls do… that… often when you go to the bathroom, right?"

"Well, yes. My bra was hurting me, so I took it off. Girls usually change in public bathrooms when there's no one around and you need to use the mirror.

"Right." He pushed away the mental image of a bunch of girls with their breasts out in the open in every bathroom across the country. "So you see? It was not your fault, it was kinda half of my fault, and that's not what I'm here to talk about."

She blinked in confusion, curious of his meaning.

"You noticed that… that… I had… I was… turned on." He breathed out the last words, too embarrassed of his sentence. "And I might be wrong, but I think you were too."

She felt her face could burst from the heat that colored her cheeks. Hinata didn't answer him, but he knew it was only because contradicting or confirming him would demand her to speak, and right now she couldn't.

"Here's the thing, I haven't felt like that by just looking at a woman for less than five seconds since a while ago. So I came here to propose an arrangement.

"Arrangement?" She managed to say.

"Yes. Friends with benefits." He said, not averting his eyes from hers. "We could do all the touching we wanted and remain good friends, as we always were. I care for you a lot, and I don't want to hurt your feelings. I'm not saying I want to… you know… with you because I'm madly in love. I'm not, by the way."

Hinata didn't know what to make of that. She flinched when he said he cared for her (a lot, he said a lot!), and then the next moment he says he's not in love. It seemed to her Naruto didn't really know his own feelings.

"It's not my intention to take advantage of you, that's why you can say no and it'll be ok with me." he continued.

She didn't answer again, but her eyes were locked on his, and Naruto could see the wheels on her head turning. Hinata was considering his proposition, and most certainly was not disgusted by him.

"It just seems a damn waste not to have the fun we can have together."

She continued not moving or saying anything, and his anxiousness made his body move before he could think about it. He got up, crossed the few steps between them and sat beside her, their eyes never breaking contact, moved his head a bit closer to hers, and waited for her reaction. She could push him away, punch him in the face, scream, run, faint, he'd be prepared for all of that.

What he was not really prepared for was the hungry look she gave to his lips.

"So what say you?" he asked, his own eyes tracing the lines of her lips.

Hinata tried to concentrate the way she did the night before, when the alcohol was clouding her judgment and she couldn't separate a good idea from a very bad one. His scent, a mix of acid perfume and sweat from riding the bike, was having the same effect on her body that the alcohol did.

"Naruto-kun, don't you think we could get hurt? I mean, if one of us starts having feelings for the other…"

"Do you have feelings for me?" He said, startled, moving away just enough to look better at her.

"Oh, no. I-I mean, it's not like that!"

"How is it like then?"

Panicking, Hinata thought about what she should answer. Did she love him? Probably. But she would never admit it to him if she could not even bring herself to admit it to herself first. So she answered with the truth she had at that moment.

"Maybe it's the same way you feel about me. I care for you a-a lot, and I feel good whenever you're with me. You inspire me to be a better person."

Naruto wasn't expecting her to be so truthful, but he was very glad she was. Hinata was the kind of person that could make your fears go away by simply saying she believe in you. He did feel the same way she did, he liked being around her, her presence had a calming effect on his anxieties.

"I'll tell you what. If anything of the sort happens, we stop right away. But we have to promise to be true to each other about that, ok?

She nodded. That was it. She knew she could regret it, but it was stronger than her. The desire she felt whenever he touched her skin, and how bad she wanted to know how his lips would taste like.

"So…" He scratched the back of his neck. "Are you busy this morning?"

What? Right now?!

He saw the frightened look on her face and raised his hands to assure her he would not try to force anything she didn't want to do.

"Sorry! We don't have to do anything today. It's just... I can't get you out of my head! Since yesterday all I can think about is..."

He stopped, his face deep red. How could he say things like that to his childhood friend? She guessed the rest of his phrase, "...your naked body". Her face was as red as his, but Naruto noticed that she didn't back away from him. She closed her eyes a split of a second longer than a normal blink, gathering courage.

"So...are you? Busy?" He asked again.

Hinata shook her head slightly, which made him move closer to her again, anticipating the longed kiss. His lips were soft, and she melted when he slipped his tongue inside her mouth, touching her own tongue and exploring every inch he could access. He loved the way she responded to him, even more when her hands grabbed his hair with urge, their kiss growing from sloppy to fierce and moist in a matter of seconds. Naruto could not wait for more contact, putting his hands on her waist and pulling up her sweatshirt just a bit. He broke the kiss just enough to see if she wanted him to stop, but Hinata claimed his mouth again.

Deciding against to break the kiss again just yet, he didn't take her sweatshirt off but instead slipped his hands inside of it. His left hand went to her back, convincing her body that half-lying down on the couch would be nice. His right hand stroke her belly softly until it reached her breast, realizing she wasn't wearing a bra, and it paused beneath it just enough for Hinata to know it was there. She wanted him to touch it, she wanted it bad, and the woman said that to him by sucking his tongue with her mouth. Good God, that's good, he thought. His hand then engulfed her enormous breast and squeezed it gently at first, but firmly as she continued to make him go nuts with the kiss. His index finger and thumb found her nipple and started playing with it.

She was hitting all his weak points, Naruto could not form a single coherent thought anymore, and that was when she pulled her legs up on the couch and embraced his waist with them. Naruto jumped in the couch with her, adjusting her body so he could lay on top of her. She could feel he wanted to get rid of his clothes as soon as possible, and lowered one hand to his crotch, gently stroking it.

"Hinata, you…" He couldn't even finish the sentence.

He didn't care things could get out of hand anymore, he just wanted to give her the greatest pleasure that wonderful girl ever had on her life. His hand released her breast and went past her belly button, entering her pants and slowly searching for her sensitive point with his fingers. He felt her wet even with her underwear still on, and that made him grin.

Naruto hungrily took her mouth with his own again, while she still stroke his crotch. Hinata moaned inside his mouth when he found her clitoris and rubbed it between his fingers. Her hand unconsciously squeezed his cock underneath his clothing and he broke the kiss.

"You'll drive me crazy. Can I..."

"Yes, you can." She didn't need for him to finish speaking. Her body was getting warmer by the minute and she was getting anxious to feel him inside her.

Naruto used one hand to pull her pajama pants off, along with her panties, and the other to take out her sweatshirt. She unzipped his pants, letting it fall from his hips and reveal his tight boxers and hard member. She only had to give one look at it and back to Naruto's eyes before he took that piece of cloth off too, along with his shirt.

Lifting her legs by her knees until they touched her torso, he saw her opening widen and invite him in. He looked at Hinata's face and was reassured by her little smile. His cock slid in almost to the end while making her gasp and grab the couch to support. He gave a few thrusts, letting both of them adjust and enjoy. Hinata moaned under her breath every time he moved. He would not stop there. Naruto lowered his body on top of hers, hold her legs on his shoulders and sucked her nipple, then licked up her neck to her earlobe. He stuck his tongue inside her ear, making her sink her fingernails on his shoulders.

Hinata would not let him command the whole thing. She decided it was time she changed places on that play. She lowered her legs and put both hands on his sweaty chest, pushing his back towards the couch. He stopped thrusting when she moved him, startled with her sudden move. When he hit his back hard on the cushions, she smiled at him.

"Sorry, Naruto-kun. My turn." And then started riding him.

Hinata would move her hips up enough to almost get him out of her and slowly sit down again until she hit his hips. She used his chest as support to her arms to raise herself, her breasts moving up and down.

Naruto could not believe how skilled she was. He was walking on clouds. He did try to get up and mouth her nipples again, but she held him firmly on his place. "She is bossing me!" he thought. That was a new feeling for him. He was used to be the main character with other women, they would treat him like a god since he saved the city, but not Hinata. And he liked it. He liked the way she was riding him and bossing him around on their action. But that was a game for two.

Hinata was speeding up her pace, ready to reach her climax. Naruto took that opportunity to raise his hand to her clitoris and rub it hard. She arched her back, never stopping moving.

"Ah... Naruto... You..."

"Don't say anything. I will make you..."

He could not finish it. She began contracting her lower muscles, her entrance swallowing and tightening his member to the point he could not hold any longer. Her body shook from head to toe with her climax and started his. He let her lie down on the couch and pulled himself out of her.

He let his body fall on the couch again while she recovered, her breath short and superficial. Hinata raised from her position and sat beside him, not sure about what to say.

"You're awesome, Hinata. I mean for real, you're hot as hell."

She blushed a little, collecting her clothes to put them on again.

"What? Are we done? I thought you said you weren't busy this morning!"

Hinata could not help but smile at his sad puppy face.

"Yes, but it's better if we take things slowly, just so we can get used to this... arrangement."

She made him put his clothes on again and rushed him out of the house before he could convince her to have sex just one more time.

They have been doing their friends with benefits arrangement for almost three months now. It was going well, but Naruto seemed incapable of being away from her. He started going to her house every day. Sometimes Ino and Kiba were there, so they only talked, ate or went out with the rest of her friends, but Hinata knew he was disappointed every time he didn't find her alone. Even so, Naruto was very happy to use some of their time alone to talk to her, she was a very good listener. It had grown from being a habit to being a need.

Hinata thought she should ask him to limit his visits, her buried feelings were trying to crawl back to the surface and claim their rights at any moment, but she was weak. She wanted him close to her, she liked his smiling face and how vulnerable he was whenever he talked about his fears. Three months was a very long time to have sex with your friend and still call him just that. But it was not treated as an issue by both of them until Hinata had to leave the country for two months in a business trip with her family company.

On the first week, Naruto thought he was doing fine, even though he had to text her every five minutes.

On the fourth week, he was getting more and more anxious and depressed, his good-humor vanished, making him cranky and annoying with everyone around him.

Sakura went to his house on that weekend, and he barely talked the whole lunch.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Naruto?!"

"What? Nothin's wrong. I'm super."

She narrowed her eyes, noticing how he would look at his phone so often it was getting on her nerves.

"It is the middle of the night there, she is sleeping."

He looked up startled.

"What?"

"There are like twelve hours of difference between Brazil and Japan. It's 2 pm here, which means it's 2 am there."

"I-I was only waiting Hinata to answer my last text, but I think she fell asleep."

Looking deep into his eyes, Sakura saw that something was different.

"What have you two been doing?"

And when he looked away to face his feet, she knew.

"Oh my god. I can't believe it. That's why you touch her and sit next to her at any chance you got! How long you guys have been doing this?"

"Hm, thr-three months..."

"You've been sleeping with Hinata for three months?" She raised her voice and he cowered on his couch.

"It-it-it's not like that! We have an agreement. We're only friends! If any of us starts having feelings-"

"What, on God's name, makes that stupid brain of yours think that she doesn't have feelings for you already? Pray, tell me. You might have been crushing her heart every day with your lack of sensibility!"

"She has feelings for me?" he blinked. "Since when?"

"Since the fucking sun rises on the east!" she rubbed her temples, feeling a migraine coming. How could her best friend be so stupid? "She's been in love with you her whole life, most likely."

"But she... She said she only cared for me the same way I cared for her and- Oh."

His voiced died when his brain clicked, finally understanding the situation. Sakura looked angrily at him, waiting for his mind to make the connection it should have made ages ago. He was in love. And if she liked him the same way he liked her, like she said, she was in love too.

"She should've told me. We agreed that if we started having feelings, we would stop doing this."

"What you need to understand, Naruto, is that she loves you, but she must've been hiding that away from everyone, including herself. And when you proposed 'friends with benefits' for her, she must have seen this as an opportunity to stay close to you and learn how to remain your friend. But I don't know how the hell she came up with the idea that sleeping with one's friend makes one less in love with him."

Sakura looked at him, letting her words sink in. Then he made the last thing she would expect him to do: he smiled.

"What is it? Why are you smiling?"

"Because things will get a lot easier now." He handed her his phone, showing the last text he had sent to Hinata.

Hime, I'm very sorry. I think we need to stop. I need to honor our arrangement. Very few feelings allowed on it. And I fear my feelings have become so big I can't even make it fit my own heart, let alone our arrangement. I'm sorry.

Sakura opened her mouth to say how proud she was, when the phone buzzed on her hand and the screen lit up. She unblocked it and read the text before Naruto could stop her.

Smiling widely at him, she handed the phone back.

"That's for you."
