Chapter 7: Hidden desires

Naruto had a really small bed. So small in fact that he had hated it with his very being since he turned fifteen, that is until now. Right now, he was more than happy that his bed is small. He was praising his state of bankruptcy for never allowing him to have enough money to buy a bigger bed. Because at this very moment, he was lying on his small bed with his girlfriend flush against his side. Neither could move because they both fit on it barely. It was a single bed, so even though they both could lay on it, they had to be very very very close. Not that Naruto minded.

When Hinata had arrived at his front door at two o'clock, the weather outside had already been bad. There was a light drizzle and the heavy rain clouds were moving fast towards the village. She had only come to give him some home made lunch and planned on leaving right after. But right at that moment, the light drizzle had turned into a full blown storm with thunder and lighting and the whole deal.

So he had invited her in to wait out the storm. Couple hours into the storm and sitting at his kotatsu table playing go fish had grown boring quite fast. That's how the two ended up on his bed with Hinata on the side closer to the wall lying on her back with her head resting on his arm while Naruto too lay on his back with his left arm under Hinata's head and the other over his stomach and intertwined with her left hand between them.

He could see the darkened sky over head from his window and wished it would never stop raining. Naruto could feel her body heat radiating off of her skin and to his even through her jacket and his. At first it had been awkward for the two of them. He had been the one to suggest that they go on to the bed because sitting on the floor was hurting his butt and she had reluctantly agreed with a massive blush. In the first ten minutes they had tried to get comfortable on the small bed. When they finally found their position to be comfortable for the both of them, it had been quite easy find it normal to be so close to each other.

Though his arm is numb and they could both barely fit on the bed, he had never felt more at peace than he felt right now. To be able to be this close to another person and wish for the sensation to last longer was a concept that Naruto had a hard time grasping. But right now he wasn't thinking about the `why`s and `how`s because just having a person to be this close was enough for him. For nineteen years he lived in his house alone, ate alone, slept alone and since he started dating Hinata six months ago she had been vising him a lot. Whenever he opened his front door to be greeted by her gentle smile, he couldn't stop the beat that his heart skips.

Right now though, as they lay side by side, their bodies so close to each others and their hand intertwined, Naruto couldn't think of a better way to spend his day.

He turned his head from the ceiling of his apartment to her and just simply stared at her as she stared out the window as the rain came down on the roof and dripped off the side. He was conscious of the way her thumb kept on brushing over his hand softly, so lovingly. He stared at her like that for a long time. Stares at the way her long black blue eyelashes would slowly brush against the under side of her eyes every time she blinked, at the way her hair was falling on to her left side as she stared outside with a slightly tilted head. At the way she continued to stare outside as if the very concept of rain fascinated her. It must have really fascinated her too because it took her a long time to realize that he had been staring at her.

When she turned her head to him and saw him staring at her, she angled her head to look at him and get a better view. She noticed the small happy smile on his lips and she couldn't help the smile that came into her own lips. When Naruto saw her smile and read in her smile that she too did not want the rain to stop he lifted his head off of the pillow and moved his hand so that he was propped up on his elbow. Hinata's head hit the pillow and she looked at him confusedly. He broke their intertwined hands and her hand laid on her stomach and his moved to move her bangs from her forehead. She blushed immediately when his hand ran over her forehead as he moved her silky hair away and the same hand came down to her cheek to cup it.

She looked so absolutely gorgeous with her blushing cheeks and her hair resting on one side and her perfect pink lips parted in a silent gasp. She looked sinfully beautiful. And the thought that this angel was in his bed, in his arms is what made him lower his head to hers and run his lips over hers in a soft kiss. He felt her hand move between them and land on the back of his head as she pulled him closer. He lowered his body and both his hands moved to either side of her head on the bed holding him up and he deepened the kiss. He was practically on top of her and he was aware of every curve of her body as she moved her other hand to his back and pulled him even closer to her. He had the sudden urge to bite her lip and the instant her lips were between his teeth, he bit down rather harshly and he heard her gasp and he took her moment of shock to push his tongue inside her mouth.

She tasted so heavenly every time he kissed her. It was different every time and every time he loved it more and more. The kiss that had started off being a soft chaste kiss had now turned into one of passion and desire. His tongue was exploring every part of her hot and delicious mouth and her hands were pulling him closer and closer to her body and the two lovers could barely hear the rain outside their window. Instead their ears were filled with the heavy breathing of the other as they tried their best to go the longest without breathing and the moans and groans of the other every time their lips met.

The barely held in moan of "Naruto-kun" that escaped her made Naruto lose all coherent thought. He moved his right hand from where it lay on the bed, giving all his body weight to his left hand, and pushed it from under her jacket and slowly moved it to her breast. She gasped into his mouth as soon as his hand made contact with her soft and smooth skin. She moved her head away from his mouth and looked to the side but his mouth moved from her lips down to her jaw to her neck all the while he cupped his hand on her breast over her mesh shirt.

She only had a bra on and no binding because she did not have a mission and he was so grateful for it too as he felt her softness on his fingers.

"Naruto-kun..." she moaned as he trailed kisses down up and down her neck. God he loved it when she called him that. It only drove him to squeeze her harder and lick the mark he left on her neck more fiercely.

"Naruto " she said as she put her hands on his chest and pushed him away from her. He lifted his head and stared at her questioningly but she didn't say anything which he took as the cue to continue. He dipped his head again to her neck but she pushed him away from her. "Naruto-kun...please...no." she said quietly and he lifted his head to look at her as he heard her pleading voice. His blue eyes went to her lavender ones and saw that they were not filled with the love she seems to have in them whenever she looked at him. Instead her eyes were filled with unshed tears as she stared up at him, her cheeks blazing red and her breath coming out as heavy pants.

Naruto's heart started beating loudly in his chest and he quickly removed his hand from under her shirt and sat down on the bed, facing her. He was now aware of the pelting rain outside his window as he stared down at her broken expression. He didn't know what to say. He hadn't meant for it to get that far. He had no idea what came over him. He had never planned on doing this like that. But then again, you can't exactly plan things like that either. But to think that lust and desire had the ability to impair all coherent thought from a person was exciting as well as terrifying.

The tears finally escaped her eyes and rolled down the side of her face and she sat up abruptly and stood up from the bed.

"Hinata" he called reaching for her hand as she ran towards the door but barely missed. "Hinata." he called again his voice reaching desperation, but she did not stop. She ran out the door leaving behind her shoes and well as a hurt Naruto. He knew he should have run after her, except he didn't because he had no idea what he was supposed to say to her.

He stared at the door of his apartment for a long time before lying down on the bed again facing the ceiling. He immediately missed her warmth and buried his face on the pillow that still had her coconut shampoo scent on it. Oddly enough, suddenly he found his bed to be way too big.


Naruto didn't know how long he stayed like that on his bed with his face buried on his pillow. But when he heard the knock on his door and bolted upright hoping that it was Hinata, the rain had fully stopped and the the sky was a beautiful blue with the sun peeking through from the roof tops overhead.

He yanked his door open only to be disappointed because on the other side of his door was not Hinata but an ANBU.

"Oh." the disappointment he felt, he knew, was not concealed well.

"Good morning to you too dobe." he heard Sasuke's muffled voice through the mask

"Morning?" he asked finally understanding that he had slept through the night.

"Yeah. The hokage wants to see you right away." Sasuke said before disappearing as soon as he had appeared. Naruto closed the door behind him and sluggishly got ready to go see baa-chan. He couldn't stop thinking about yesterday. It had been so exciting. He had never experienced something like that ever in his life. It was similar to the adrenaline rush he gets before a battle, yet it had been so different as well. He felt the adrenaline and the rush but the fear and the need to finished it as soon as possible were no where to be seen. He just wanted to keep touching her, keep feeling her, keep tasting her. The fact that she felt uncomfortable with his explorations had not even occurred to him.

He wasn't usually like that. He always makes sure that everyone else is comfortable. Especially Hinata of all people. Then why had he not thought about how she would feel? Why had that not occurred to him as he ran his hand over her body?

When he arrived at the hokage's office, he was called in immediately and he stood in front of baa-chan waiting to hear what she had to say. He did not miss the strange way Tsunade looked at him or the odd look he received from Shizune outside. But he decided to be ignorant to all of that and instead listened to Tsunade.

She seems to hesitate before beginning to speak.

"Naruto , everyone has come to a decision to name you the next hokage." she said carefully and Naruto's blue eyes widened and he could have sworn his heart stopped beating for like a second before restarting again. "But since you are too young, you will be in training with me for a couple of years until you are ready. You have more than proven your self to the village and the whole world that you are capable of the task." she finished with a smirk on her lips and Naruto didn't know how to react. He had wanted this for so long and right now it felt like he was dreaming. "Congratulation Naruto Uzumaki." Tsunade said with a warm smile and Naruto couldn't even say anything to that so instead he nodded his head and left the tower.

As soon as he stepped out of the hokage tower he wanted to see Hinata. He wanted her to be the first to hear the news. But he had no idea how to face her after what he had done. He truly felt ashamed of himself for giving into his lust but he had just received the greatest news of his life and he needed her to be the first to hear it.

Which is why he made silently made his way to his apartment even though all he wanted to do was climb up to the hokage monument and scream the news to the entire village.

He contemplated what he should say to Hinata for a long time. This kind of thing had never happened to him. So he had no idea how to fix it and he needed to fix it. He had to. So when the skies darkened and night fell around the village of Konoha, he made his way to the Hyuga compound. When he got close to the gates, he decided to avoid it all together. He didn't like the guard anyway. So he made his way to the back of the compound and sneaked with all the stealth he had in him. If he were to get caught sneaking into Hinata's bedroom in the middle of the night, he would lose his head for sure.

He made his way around the compound as quietly as he could but he stopped dead on his tracks when he found exactly the person he was looking for. Hinata was on the second floor of the compound looking out her open window deep in thought from what he can see.

He looked at her as she looked out her window. Her mid night hair was swaying to the slight breeze of the night and her eyes seem to sparkle brighter than the stars of the night. Naruto watched as Hinata tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear and he realized how truly beautiful she really is.

He concentrated chakra to his feet and jumped to her window sill, successfully scaring her and earning a squeal as she backed away from the window with a kunai in hand. Well...now at least he knew she was prepared if an intruder came in.

"Naruto-kun?" she asked bewildered as she dropped the kunai on her bed and all he could do was grin and scratch the back if his head sheepishly.

"Hey Hinata." he said facing her. She wasn't in her usual ninja attire. She was wearing a light purple gown, what he assumed is her night gown. It ran all the way down to her ankles and it was tied with a ribbon just above her chest. It was weird seeing her in a dress, but he wouldn't deny that she looks stunning in one.

"Naruto-kun...what are you doing here?" she asked as she looked at her bedroom door before facing him again.

"I-wanted to tell you something." he began quietly. She looked at him waiting for him to continue. "Hinata I...I was chosen to be the next hokage." he finished looking at her. She seemed too shocked to do anything for a while before her eyes widened and her eyes filled with tears. Naruto panicked for a second unable to figure out why she was crying. But the next thing he knew she jumped into his arms wrapping her arms around his back and pulling him against her.

"Naruto-kun...congratulation. I'm so happy for you." she said into his shirt and her quiet voice was muffled by his shirt. He heard her sob and felt her shoulders shake as she cried and that's when he realized that she was crying for him.

"Hinata? Ar you...crying for me?" he asked as his own arms went to circle around her.

"I'm- I'm so happy Naruto-kun. Your dream is finally coming true." she said through sobs and his hands tightened around her.

"Yeah it is." Naruto whispered as the full extent of the news he had received this morning hit him.

This was his dream, he had worked so hard to get here. He had wanted this for as long as he can remember and he had someone to celebrate his biggest achievement with too. Five years ago if somebody had told him that he would have someone by his side when his dream finally came true, he would have laughed at them. Naruto never would have thought that he would ever have someone in his life to cry for him like Hinata is doing right now. To have someone be so happy for him that they would cry tears of joy for him.

Naruto felt an incredible warmth seep through his whole being as he held Hinata in his arms as she cried. Teats when his resolve to apologize for his insensitivity increased by ten fold. She was too wonderful, she was too great and she loved him so much and he loved her so much as well, so he would keep her, he would protect her and he would love her to no end because he felt that they belonged with each other. They were meant for each other.

"Hinata." he said her name softly and held her shoulders and pushed her away from him to look at her face. Her eyes were red from crying and her nose was also red but she looked up at him in question. "Hinata I...I'm sorry about yesterday. I got carried away and I didn't think about how it would make you feel. I'm really sorry." he finished as his eyes bore down into hers conveying his apology to her. She stared at him for a moment before breaking into a beautiful gentle smile.

"Naruto-kun...that's not it at all" she said as she reached her hand and laid it on his cheek and the warmth from her hand seeped into his face and he wanted to take her hand and press if more firmly against his skin just to feel her."The reason I...told you to stop is because..." she paused looking away from him as a familiar blush creeped into her pale cheeks. "I'm not very...shapely like Sakura-chan or beautiful as Ino-chan. I was just...embarrassed." she finished in a quiet voice totally avoiding eye contact with him and her face turning an impossible colour of red.

Naruto stared at the top of her head for a long time in disbelief. It didn't take him long to burst into laughter, he knew he shouldn't laugh, but he couldn't help it. He tried his best to control his voice as his laughter died down. When he looked down at her she was pouting and she looked so adorable that he ended up laughing again. When he calmed down to a certain extent he looked down at her.

"That's ridiculous Hinata. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." he said in between his laughter. It was indeed ridiculous. He spent most of his days thinking about how beautiful his girlfriend is and his girlfriend doesn't think she's beautiful. Naruto watched as her eyes moved to his face, looking at him with uncertainty. Naruto stopped laughing and looked at her seriously. He cupped her cheeks in his hands and lifted her head a little to look at him. "Hinata, you are breathtakingly beautiful. I don't know what would make you think otherwise." he said in all honesty and her eyes danced with happiness as he said it. He leaned forward and landed his lips on her forehead and lingered there for a little longer before moving his head back.

"Naruto-kun, thank you." she whispered with a smile.

"Hinata, I think we should wait. I know yesterday got a little...exciting, but I think we should wait." he told her softly and she nodded her head in approval at his suggestion.

It had taken him a long time to come up with that decision and he knew it was the best one. As much he wanted to give into his hormones and rip her clothes apart, he wanted to wait. Wait until they were both ready, until they were both older and wiser and...married. He knew he would one day marry Hinata, there was no doubt about it. But until then he would wait because then even if she had doubts, She would not have them after they were married and he didn't want her to have doubts.

A knock on her door disrupted the couple and they both stared at each other until the second knock came and that's when they panicked.

"Hinata-sama, are you alright in there? I heard a man's voice." they heard a female voice from the other side of the door.

"Oh...yes I am alright Aki-san. I...I didn't hear anything" she said as she bit her lip hoping her maid would leave soon.

"Oh must've been my imagination then. Good night Hinata-sama." and they heard her foot steps walking away from the room. They both let out a sigh and looked at each other before smiling in amusement.

"I should leave before someone else shows up. All these guards at your house makes eloping not even worth considering." he said jokingly as he made his way to her window. she blushed as she let out a laugh at his comment.

"If we decide to elope...I promise I will find a way to make it through all the guards and all the obstacle I have to face to come to you Naruto-kun." she said gently and he looked at her in surprise. But really he didn't have to be surprised because he knew she would.

"I know." he said to her before leaning forward to peck her lips softly.

They said their good byes and Naruto quietly made his way out of the compound and walked towards his apartment with the widest grin imaginable on his lips. He would never elope with her. She will be the hokage's wife even if he had to beg her father for her hand in marriage. He would make sure of it.
