Day 25: Pillow Talk
Hinata pulled the blanket over Naruto as he lay on the couch in his office.
"I'm way too old for this, y'know?" He slurred. He'd just returned home from a night of celebrating with his friends. "Hinataaaa, don't ever let me go out again."
"Of course dear," she hummed lightly.
"Why… why am I here again?" He gestured to the room, his office.
"Because you took one look at the stairs and declared that they were too difficult to go up and that made them evil." Perched on the edge of the cushion, she smoothed to blanket over his chest. "I'm glad you had a good time tonight. Just rest now, you have a big day tomorrow."
Naruto grunted, reaching out to touch her.
"Hey, hey." He rubbed his hand up and down her arm. "You are so pretty. And you're nice."
"And you need to go to sleep."
"But I need you to know. You always know how to make me feel better." Naruto hiccoughed. "And like right now, I'm really scared, y'know? But you're making me feel not scared and I really like that."
"Naruto, what are you scared for?"
"What if, what if I can't do this?" He breathed in deep. "I'm just, I don't wanna screw this up, y'know?"
"You can do this, and you know you can do this." Hinata brushed his cheek. "You've studied, done all the preparations. You're going to make a great Hokage."
"Tomorrow's gonna be a real good day, huh?"
"It will be. Now just rest."
AN: I'm going to leave this one here like this… I lost all sense of direction for where it was going and I can't seem to get it back on track… I'm sorry, I really want you to have quality and then this… ah well. I'll work really hard for the next chapter.
