Shiver

A shiver ran down the girl's spine as the cold winter wind rolled against her naked back. She clutched on her shoal and wrapped it around her like a little cocoon. If she knew it was going to be this cold, she would never have worn such a dress. But, it was a fancy gala party, where she, the Hyuga heiress was expected to wear a dress that will catch everyone's attention. It's what her father wanted, and probably what she will have to oblige to for the rest of her life. She has no luck in love, after all. At this rate, she might die alone.

Hinata shivered again as she rubbed her gloved hands together to create some sort of friction for heat. She hated parties like this, which is why she escaped as soon as possible and now sat outside the mansion in the freezing cold. She didn't mind the cold as much though, she'd rather freeze than stand against a bunch of old men flirting and cooing over her.

The door that led inside to the warm party, opened and out stepped a man with unbelievable messy blond hair. He had on a black suit with a orange shirt and a red tie, decorated with black swirls. He buried his hands in his pockets and shivered when the cold hit his skin. His blue eyes scanned the surroundings and landed on the pale, naked shoulders of a woman.

"If it isn't Hinata," Uzumaki Naruto grinned as he approached the dark blue haired beauty. She looked up, shocked to discover that she wasn't alone.

"N-Naruto-kun," Hinata tried to say, but ended up in a stutter thanks to her teeth clanking together. Naruto's grin widened as he sat down next to her and looked up at the sky covered by a thick layer of dark clouds.

"What's the Hyuga heiress doing out here?" Naruto asked. Hinata shrugged.

"Escaping," Hinata stated as she too, looked up at the sky. Naruto glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

"Why do you want to escape?" Naruto asked, "Certainly your life isn't hell, thanks to paperwork?"

Hinata couldn't help but laugh, "No, no paperwork."

Naruto snorted, "Being Hokage is great, except for the whole paperwork bit."

Hinata smiled, "Well, having a dad who doesn't approve of you, does kind of get to you."

Naruto's grin faded, "Oh."

An awkward silence befell the two after that. The classical music could be heard from inside, as well as the constant chatter of guests. Hinata let out a shattered gasp as another cold gush of wind passed through.

"You cold?" Naruto asked. Hinata shivered again and nodded. Naruto grinned, sat down and motioned for Hinata to scoot over. Confused, she tilted her head to the side, but before she could ask what he was intending, Naruto grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. Hinata yelped as she felt Naruto's jacket gently caress her shoulders, and his arm wrapping around her to pull her closer.

"Better?" he asked. Hinata blushed and nodded. Naruto's grin grew even wider.

"T-thank you, Naruto-kun," Hinata mumbled.

A/N: Maybe a bit too long for a drabble? Meh. Inspiration came from the novel, "Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater. It's a must read.
