So last week was pretty much insane. Sorry I didn't get these out for you. I won't be doing all of the week's prompts, but I'll let you know when I'm about to skip one.

Anyway, this is an AU where Tsunade and Jiraiya are actually Minato's parents and Hinata is meeting them for the first time. Let the hilarity ensue.


Day Twelve: Meet the Grandparents

Naruto kept his arm around his girlfriend's waist as he knocked on the door of his parents' house. He knew she was nervous, just as she had been the first time she had met his parents. He had told her many times not to worry because he knew his parents were going to like her as much as he did, but it didn't seem to assuage her fears.

When his father, Minato, had called to let him know that his grandparents were going to be in town and were interested in meeting the girlfriend they had heard so much about, Naruto had eagerly agreed. Unfortunately, he had done so immediately, without consulting Hinata first and she had been a little shellshocked. They were ten months into their relationship and he had already introduced her to his parents. Now, only a month later she was going to meet his grandparents. It was all rather intimidating.

Naruto came from a family as boisterous as he was and while she really shouldn't have expected anything different, it was still a little overwhelming to walk into a house where a man almost identical to her boyfriend (who she'd only just gotten over blushing and stammering around whenever he touched her) greeted her warmly with a bright smile and twinkling eyes. Then, in a hurricane of red hair, Hinata had been bowled over by Naruto's mother, Kushina, who had proceeded to squeeze the life out of her while squealing about how cute she was.

All in all, Hinata had been grateful that his parents liked her. She had been pretty taken with their son ever since he became a new teacher at the school where she taught as well and her feelings had only gained in intensity since their relationship began. However, the experience was a whirlwind of crazy and she had still not quite gotten over it. So, when Naruto had chased her down between classes one day, excitedly telling her how his grandparents were going to be in town that weekend and wanted to meet her, she had been terrified.

And so, as they stood on the porch waiting to be let in, Naruto tried his best to reassure her.

"It's okay, Hinata, my parents already love you and I'm sure my grandparent's will, too!"

She replied with a small smile.

"Besides, you shouldn't worry too much about them anyway. Grandpa's a total pervert and Granny is usually at least a little drunk so it's not like you have to prove anything to them."

His description was met with wide, confused eyes, but before she could ask for further elaboration, the door opened and his bright mother again swooped her up into a crushing hug.

"I'm so glad you could come!" Kushina cried, already pulling her by the hand into the house.

Hinata looked back at Naruto for help, but he just smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up, beside himself that his parents approved so highly of the woman he cared about.

"Now, I don't know if Naruto's told you anything about them," Kushina whispered rather loudly, "but I thought I should probably warn you that Minato's parents are a little out there."

The fact that the redhead was the one telling her this just concerned Hinata even more.

Seeing her face, Kushina tried to reassure her, "But don't worry, if all else fails I'm sure Jiraiya will love you because of your great boobs!"

And that is how a furiously blushing Hinata found herself face to face with Naruto's grandparents.

Kushina had been pulling Hinata along so quickly and had stopped so suddenly, that it took great effort on Hinata's part not to hurtle straight into the large white haired man in front of her. He smiled at her, disarmingly, and she almost felt a little better until she realized that he wasn't looking at her face, but at her chest.

Horrified, she looked next to him, figuring that a drunk grandmother was probably the less scary of the two, but instead saw a woman with honey colored hair who looked to be no more than forty.

Trying to mask her confusion, she bowed to the two of them and said, "Um, hello, I'm Hyuga Hinata. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

When she straightened back up, she heard the blond woman speak for the first time and it was not at all what she expected.

"Hey, Brat! How'd you manage to find yourself such a polite little girlfriend? She's too nice for you!"

"Oi!" Naruto said and Hinata suddenly realized that he was standing right beside her, "I can be nice! Can't I, Hinata?"

Indigo hair bobbed as she nodded quickly, looking at Tsunade, "Naruto has been very nice to me."

Tsunade still looked rather skeptical, but Jiraiya piped in, "Aha, my boy, I see my lessons have not gone to waste!"

Naruto's eyes widened in horror as he realized what his grandfather was about to say and he shook his head vehemently, trying to get him to stop, but to no avail.

"Now, now dear, of course Naruto is nice to her! Just look at that rack! And to have a body like that with a face so sweet-I taught Naruto better than to let someone like that get away. He had better be very nice to her" he finished with a wink.

Hinata's cheeks were becoming redder and redder and Naruto put an arm around her protectively before saying, "Stop being such a perv, Grandpa! It's not like that! Hinata's a nice girl! She was real quiet when I first met her, but she made me feel welcome at the school when a lot of the other teachers acted like stuck up snobs who knew everything. Sure, she's real pretty, but that's not why I love her!"

Lavender eyes opened wider than ever before. Had he just said that he loved her? She had felt that way for a bit now, but hadn't actually had the courage to say it. Hesitantly, she glanced over at Naruto, unsure whether or not he realized what he had just said. Judging by his blush, he did.

Before either of them could address it, however, Jiraiya had some more advice to give.

"Sure, sure kid. Just remember, it's always the quiet ones you have to watch out for," he said with another wink.

Thoroughly mortified, Hinata watched in awe as Naruto's grandmother swung her fist at her husband's head. He ducked it with the ease of someone with years of practice and Hinata was surprised at the amount of force she felt as her fist continued to swing. That would surely have caused some serious damage!

"Damnit, Jiraiya," Tsunade said, "Can't you see they were about to have a moment?"

All eyes turned back on the two of them and Hinata attached herself to her boyfriend, burying her face in his arm.

"Oh come on, I'm just so proud!" Jiraiya retorted, "It's not every day I find out that my grandson is also a boob man!"

Curious, Hinata snuck a glance at Tsunade and realized she had been so distracted by her youthful looks earlier, that she had not taken notice of her very ample bosom.

"For gods sake, stop talking about the poor girl's boobs!" Tsunade thundered.

Kushina leaned over and whispered, "I told you so," to Hinata while giving her smile and a thumbs up.

The indigo haired woman was starting to feel faint, which did not go unnoticed by her boyfriend and his grandmother who, it turned out, was actually a doctor.

"Come on," Tsunade said as she pulled Jiraiya away, "Let's go help get things set up in the dining room and give these two lovebirds a moment.

Kushina looked torn as she wanted to stay and observe the sweet interaction between her son and his cute little girlfriend, but Minato wrapped his arm around his wife and led her away.

Naruto and Hinata stood there, facing one another in awkward silence.

"Uh, well I think they like you," the blond said, while rubbing the back of his head nervously. He hadn't forgotten what he'd accidentally let slip earlier.

Hinata nodded, but mostly kept her eyes averted. She was too nervous to look at him after what he had said.

"They seem… um, nice?" she said, always needing to be polite but unsure how she was supposed to describe them. Apparently that had been the right thing to say because Naruto beamed back at her.

"I'm glad you think so!" he said. "I know they can seem like a bit much, but they're actually really great people and I wanted you to like them because I was kind of hoping you could be part of the family one day, but I was worried they might scare you away because of, well, you know because you met them…"

Hinata stared at him wide eyed. He… wanted her to be part of the family one day? Was that an indirect proposal?

Naruto again realized that he had spoken without a filter and became a little flustered. "Heh, I, uh, well I guess if you haven't run out yet then that means you probably don't hate me, right?"

She smiled and shook her head, "No, quite the opposite. I, um, I actually feel the same."

His breathing quickened and he stepped closer to her, "The same? You mean what I said earlier?"

Hinata nodded.

"So.. if I said I loved you then you would say it back?"

She nodded again.

"Hinata, I love you."

She bit her lip to try to contain her huge smile.

"I love you, too," she said shyly.

Naruto leaned down to kiss her, but the moment was suddenly interrupted with a loud whooping noise coming from the next room.

The couple looked over to see four smiling faces observing them not-so-sneakily from the doorway.

Kushina had tears running down her face, but was smiling like she had never seen anything more wonderful.

Minato managed to look a little sheepish at getting caught spying, but he and his mother were smiling at the young couple.

Jiraiya's smile quickly turned from happy to pervy as he said, "Now that that's settled, I can give you two some tips that are sure to make your love as lasting as mine! If you know what I mean."

Between the crazy introductions, Naruto's impromptu confession and her response, and Jiraiya's inappropriate comments, Hinata had had a bit too much. The world around her dimmed and she promptly fainted, sending the Namikaze household into even more of a frenzy.

At least her family life would never be boring.


I didn't actually edit this like I usually do, so sorry if there are any mistakes. I figured instead of editing I'd rather get to writing more so if there's anything obvious let me know and I'll go in and fix it later.
