Day 36:
"Good morning, Hinata-chan," Dr. Haruno greeted softly. It had been three days since her surgery and Hinata had been asleep, recovering, most of that time.
"G-Good morning, Sakura-chan," Hinata greeted just a bit softer.
"Naruto-kun's been visiting you," Sakura began. "He was really worried about you, you know."
Hinata's face reddened to a degree that Sakura never thought possible. The raven-haired teen sighed sweetly, "h-he did?"
Sakura chuckled lightly, trying not to make too much noise, "he really cares about you."
The warmth that filled Hinata to the core was one that Sakura envied with vigor.
Poor Hinata-chan! She loved him her whole life, you guys! She's finally getting her chance! Ahh!
