I do not own Naruto nor any of its characters.
Yes, I did skip Day 9 (Lord of the Rings AU) but I have Day 10 here for you!
I hope you all like this one
Day 10: Dating
It has only been an entire six month this special couple have been together and there were tough times, sad times, happy times, and even bad times. But they knew that this is what they've always wanted with each other and it made every problem go away within a snap of a finger.
He was ready to tell her that he loves her just as much as she loves him, but he was terrified. Naruto was well aware that she is deeply in love with him, but he feared that it was too soon for him to announce his own feelings to her. She was kind, she probably wouldn't judge him at all but he still held onto that nervousness.
Was she this nervous when she confessed to him? The way she did it, it seemed like she had no time to be nervous about about sharing her feelings she had a motive and that was to protect him. He wasn't exactly too sure she would be able to understand why he felt so nervous.
He knew exactly the moment he fell in love with her the day he fought her father to be able to date her. This was a few months into their relationship and she allowed him to meet her father and Hiashi wasn't too happy about it. No violence was involved but Naruto used his heart and soul to put out words that made Hiashi not decline their relationship.
Tonight, Naruto was taking Hinata out to a tea room since he saved enough money and he decided that would be the right time to tell her how much she means to him. He knew that Hinata would love it there and love it even more when she hears the three words come out of his mouth.
"The jasmine tea is really nice." Hinata grinned while she sniffed its aroma.
"It does smell pretty nice." Naruto agreed when putting down his cup of tea, "How about we look at the different tea sets throughout the years."
Hinata nodded before she stood up and she took his hand in her own, "You seem very nervous, Naruto-kun. Is something wrong?"
Her hand gave him a sense of ease. She wouldn't ever do anything to hurt him and he needed that reinforcement at his most vulnerable moment.
"I-I am a bit nervous." he stammered, "I'll tell you why soon."
Hinata bit her lip and gently squeezed his hand while the two viewed all the different tea sets. Her heart rate was accelerating and she was thinking the worse possible things.
Was he breaking up with her? Did he do something bad? Did he fall in love with someone else?
Hinata shoved all those bad thought to the back of her mind, she only wanted to think positively when she was around Naruto. But it didn't ease her thoughts when he behaved this way because he hardly was nervous around her.
While viewing the tea set of the First Hokage's wife, Naruto put a halt to their walking and let out a broken sigh while he gripped onto Hinata's hand tightly.
"Hinata, I want to tell you something." he managed to get out.
Hinata looked up at him seriously and found that his eyes were glossy and his breathing was uneven, "Y-Yes, Naruto-kun?"
Naruto gulped and took in a deep breath, "We've been together for awhile now and I have to confess something."
Hinata nodded and she held him close to her.
"I love you, Hinata. I loved you yesterday, I love you now, and I'll love you tomorrow and as long time will allow me to." He finally told her, "It took me long enough to realize it but I have and I want you to know that my heart won't ever falter and that it's all yours."
Hinata felt herself tear up before she brought his face down and gave him a needed kiss upon his lips. Tears of happiness streamed down both of their faces and they held each other tightly.
When they broke away the smiled at each other and wiped off each other's tears.
"I love you so much, Naruto-kun." she replied with tinted cheeks, "I'm so happy you feel the same way about me."
All the anxieties they shared before Naruto said those three words quickly vanished and was replaced with happiness and love. It was the best date, they've had yet.
