Naruto doesn't notice anything different about coming down from his medication. Though he knows Hinata's watching him. Not outright. Not like a bird of prey, circling him.
He would've preferred it.
No. She taking sneaking glances. Watching him in the morning before she leaves. Checking his dishes in the sink for what he's eaten, if he's eaten. Checking the laundry for this workout clothes.
He doesn't understand. Why doesn't she just ask? Her questions instead are thinly veiled, and he's never sure what she's actually trying to get out of him from it.
Her questions are bothering him. And his own replies are starting to bother him too. When she asks what he did today, he wants to answer with the correct responses. He really does.
He wants her to smile and him and tell him that he's done a good job. He wants to make her proud of him.
He doesn't want her watching him, but pretending she's not.
He goes to the gym. He usually doesn't like running. It annoys him. But twenty minutes of cardio a day are what's suggested to him, by his doctor.
Twenty minutes. He can do twenty minutes.
It's boring beyond belief and grueling work but he's done with it in no time (roughly twenty minutes).
When he's taking a shower, he's remembers the feeling. The feeling of soda pop in his veins. It's bubbly, and fills his with nervous energy. Even though he's just exercised.
So he cleans the apartment for Hinata, when she gets back. Mostly so he has something to do. He just needs something to do right now.
"You did a lot today." Hinata scans the unusually spotless room.
"Are you feeling okay?" She asks, giving him a sideways glance.
She's pretty. She's always been pretty, but she's especially pretty right then. So he wraps his arms around her and kisses her instead.
Is he feeling okay?
It's hard not to feel good when Hinata lets him pull her to the bedroom. It's hard not to feel good when he's kissing her, her mouth, her jaw, her neck, her chest. She's kissing him back. She's soft and warm and she smells nice and she makes sexy noises. Her legs wrap around his hips and when he pushes in, she grabs his back and gasps his name.
He's feeling fucking phenomenal.
Thanks for asking.
