The Fox and the Rabbit
Mission 14: Rain
Hinata was sitting quietly inside her home, a cup of tea in one hand, when she heard her husband of two years come in the room grinning, "Hina-chan!"
"What is it, Naruto-kun?" she asked, setting her cup down on the table.
He smiled and grabbed both of her hands, "Come with me."
She nodded, and Naruto tugged her outside. It was pouring rain, the drops thick and warm on her cheeks. Hinata looked up into the black clouds, and suddenly, Naruto took one hand of hers and twirled her in a circle, resting his other hand on her hip. She blinked, "Naruto-kun?"
"Dance with me?" he asked hopefully, earnestly, giving her that adorable face that made him look like a five-year-old in a man's body. She nodded, and he grinned, "Yes! Awesome!"
So together, the two twirled around in slow circles in the rain, in perfect harmony to the ratta-tat-ratta-tat of the raindrops on their windows. Hinata laughed in mirth, tossing her head back and letting the rain slide down her cheeks. Soon after, Naruto tugged her in the house, and sat her in front of the fireplace, bringing a blanket and wrapping it around her. Then, he disappeared into the kitchen for a few minutes, and came back juggling two cups of cocoa, which he set in front of her. Then, Naruto slid under the blankets next to her and pulled her close, playing with her dripping wet hair as she stared into the firelight, "…Naruto-kun?"
"What is it, Hina-chan?"
She smiled and curled against his chest, "…Thank you."
