"Hinata, while we were fighting alongside the 4th, he said something to me that opened my eyes." "What was that Naruto?" "He told me; That's a sweet girl you have Naruto, keep her and never let her go, she's a lot like me but much more beautiful!" "T-t-t-the 4th said that about me?" "Yeah, and that's when I realized just how beautiful you really are; blood running down your arms, palms all red from battle, Byakugan activated with your tattered vest, I have never seen anything more beautiful in my life. Until just now with your hair up in that nightgown, it was your mothers wasn't it?" "H-h-h-how did you know that Naruto?" "It smelled different than you usually do, it was more flowery, not that you don't smell fantastic, you do I like your smell better, ya know?" Hinata couldn't help but laugh, she liked when Naruto was the one getting flustered instead of her. "Dammit, I must sound like an idiot." Naruto always thought he sounded stupid while talking to pretty girls. "You think I smell fantastic, huh Naruto?" "Well yeah, I mean Kurama gives me a super heightened sense of smell, like a bloodhound." "Awwe, good puppy." Hinata never got to tease Naruto before and it was out of character for her, but he had that effect on her sometimes. "HEY! I'm not a puppy, I'm a fox." they both laughed. "You are no fox Naruto, that would be me!" "I know Kurama, it was just a joke." "I know that, humans aren't the only species that has a sense of humor." "Wow, I didn't know you understood humor, that's awesome, I'll have to tease you more!" Kurama didn't answer he just smiled to himself. Naruto and Hinata sat and talked for what seemed only minutes but was actually a few hours.
"U-u-u-um Naruto?" "Yeah, what is it Hinata?" "Well, I um it's getting late." "Oh shit! You're right, I have to be at the Hokage's office at 7 or Grandma Tsunade will kill me!" "Well uhh, goodnight Naruto." "I'll see you tomorrow Hinata!" Naruto lunged toward Hinata and kissed her on the cheek and jumped out on to the balcony and across the compound's rooftops. "H-h-h-he kissed my cheek." Hinata laid back in her bed with the biggest smile she could muster. "I kissed her cheek, why did I do that? It felt amazing, my heart is racing like the heat of battle. Is this how dad felt about mom?" Naruto ran along rooftops until he came to his roof, he sat down and looked at the stars. He felt like Shikamaru, but much more happy and much less apathetic. Naruto sat and watched for constellations and smiled, he knew he had to be up and at 'em in a few hours but he didn't care to go to be, he was too excited. "Hey 9?!" "Yes human?" "Have you ever been in love?" "No, I haven't, but I have seen its power first hand." "You mean with my dad and mom?" "Yes Naruto, they wielded the strongest power in the universe, not even I could stop it." This made Naruto hopeful about Hinata and himself. His eyes were feeling heavy all of the sudden, "Thanks Kurama" Naruto said as he fell asleep on his rooftop.
