Chapter 12: First Kiss

...(sweatdrop)

I am currently writing this on wordpad, praying that will read html and/or rich text format...

You guys are so lucky I love you so much, or I wouldn't be updating! I really do thrive on reviews! XD

Their first kiss was a cliche.

It was innocent and completely accidental: in fact, it was before they even started dating. It all started with a single bowl of ramen at Ichiraku. Naruto decided that after a long day of training together, he and Hinata should get ramen. It was so simple, so easy...but that was before he realized that poor little Gama-chan was slightly flatter than he thought. So, the two of them simply constituted on sharing the bowl of barbecued pork ramen.

Easier said than done.

"You don't mind sharing, do you Hinata-chan?" he asked, tilting his head to one side questioningly.

She shook her head furiously, "N-No! Of course not! Th-that's perfectly fine, N-Naruto-kun."

"Really? Great!" Naruto broke his chopsticks gleefully and shouted, "Itadakimasu!"

Hinata whispered, "Itadakimasu..." and did the same, daintily sticking the wooden utensils in the noodles and scooping them expertly. Naruto shoveled more noodles than she thought was even possible in his mouth, grinning the entire time. They continued like this for a little while, until the matter of the last soba noodle came to their attention. Sort of.

She was far too busy trying not to faint to notice it; he was too busy stuffing his face. Naruto slurped far faster than her, until he was practically falling off his chair following this one stubbornnoodle to it's end...

And that was that. Their lips touched and both teens stared at each other in wide-eyed shock. Neither of them moved: it took a full ten seconds for them to fall out of their own little dream world and back to reality. Hinata squeaked and jumped away, touching her lips with trembeling fingers and Naruto stared after her, slight confusion painting his features.

Ayame giggled as she took the ramen bowl away from the counter, "Well, Naruto-chan, aren't you going to say something? You did just kiss her, after all."

"..." he stared at Hinata in complete wonder, watching her tap her fingers together with a small smile on her face. I didn't realize Hinata-chan was so pretty..., "Ne, Hinata-chan...?"

"A-ano, y-yes, Naruto-kun?" she could barely bring herself to look at him, because if she did, she was sure she'd faint right there.

He grinned and wrapped an arm around her slim shoulders, causing her to jump and blush an even deeper shade of Shocked, "...Want another bowl?"

This idea just popped in my head and refused to leave me alone. XD I think it's the perfect situation for Naruto's first kiss, don't you agree:)
