Oh what shall happen.
My whole body was trembling. How the hell are we supposed to respond to that?
I peered over at Sasuke who looked worried himself. Did he know? What am I talking about? Of course he knows! Him and Naruto are best friends. Im sure he said something.
"Why won't the two of you say something?! Hinata and Naruto. What happened this morning?" Asked Neji once again. I could hear how impatient he was getting.
While I was too nervous to find words, Naruto finally said something. "I woke up this morning and went out for a jog at the park that's like a fifteen minute walk from here. As you can see, I'm still wearing my sweat pants. I was done with my jog and called Hinata to say good morning and how she was doing. I ended up coming over to your house because she invited me over to stay for a bit since she told me she woke up and wasn't able to go back to sleep. I was practically in the neighborhood so I said sure. I came in, and I was mad sweating from my exercise I did at the park so I took my sweater off and I didn't have a shirt under cause I usually wear something that causes you to sweat more than usual when exercising." God was he pro at lying. "Now the part where you asked why I was in her bed tickling her, well I don't know what to tell you Neji. We were playing around and she hit me with a pillow so I went up to her and started tickling her, then Hanabi came in and saw us. I know it sounded wrong that I was in her bed without a shirt tickling your cousin who's basically a sister to you, but it was innocent horse playing. I left right away to avoid wrong assumptions if anyone else woke up, but it's too late because here we are." Shrugged Naruto finishing off.
I was stunned at how quick he was adding things to the story. I would have believed it.
Neji fell back on the computer chair and folded his arms across his chest and stared at Naruto and I dead in the eye.
"What time did you get here Naruto?" He asked.
"Well I jogged since 4:30 in the morning and finished up around 5 sooooo I came here around 5:20 something" He answered.
"And when did you leave?"
"Around 6."
Neji raised an eyebrow and turned to me. "Hinata what time does mom usually leave for work?"
I tried to act cool about this. I couldnt let Neji try to break me. He'll know im lying.
I cleared my throat before answering him.
"She leaves at 8 for work."
"So why didn't you invite him over when she left? Better yet, how the hell did you know that Naruto was up early in the morning?"
"Well I was trying to text people to see who was awake and Naruto answered me and ended up calling me."
A smirk appeared on Neji's face as he shook his head at me.
"What?" I asked as he still kept shaking his head.
"Nothing it's just... I know this is all a lie" He answered.
"How?" said Sasuke.
Neji turned around to look at him. "Dude I swear, another word from you and youre out of this room. I'm talking to them, not you."
Sasuke looked like he was about to say something but I guess he saw how serious Neji was.
Neji turned back to us and talked. "The reason why I know this is a lie is because you guys took like 10 minutes to reply to a simple question. Hinata would barely even look me in the eye and Naruto, you kept shaking your leg the whole time and looking worried"
"I'm telling you the solid truth Neji!" said Naruto.
"Then why so hesitant in the first place?! Why not just come out with it when I asked the first time?"
"Because you're scary" I mumbled.
All 3 boys looked at me.
"I'm scaring you Hinata?" Neji got closer to me. "Please tell me how."
"Well look at you! For starters you're all up in my face for no reason. 2nd, you started yelling. How can I look you in the eye when you're yelling at me! You're scaring me! is this how you'd get angry before I lost my mind?!" I cried. "Everything Naruto said was the truth! If you don't believe it then what the hell do YOU think happened!"
Neji stood silent and rolled the chair away from me. He sighed and closed his eyes. "Sasuke...Naruto, you guys can leave"
Naruto hesitated "But I don't want you to think that something wro-"
"Just go!" He snapped still having his eyes shut.
Naruto slowly got up from my bed and mouthed "Sorry" and walked out the door with Sasuke who waved goobye to me.
Neji and I were left alone surrounded by silence. His eyes remained shut while his leg was moving up and down.
He opened his eyes and looked down to the ground.
"Look," He began. "I'm sorry. You just don't understand"
"Understand what?" I asked.
"You don't understand how much you mean to me. I know you're my cousin but I see you more as my little sister! I'm two years older than you and I just feel like it's my responsibility to look out for you and when it just comes to guys... Just understand me. I just want the best for you. Not all guys can be trusted"
"Naruto is a good guy. All of our friends that are male are good people."
Neji looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? So Kiba was one of those good people?"
"Come on now that's different"
"No it's not Hinata! There we were thinking that Kiba was a true friend and that everything was all nice and dandy, but what happened in the end? He fucked us all over. He almost tried to fuck YOU over too! Like I said, not all guys can be trusted." He said.
"Can you be trusted? You know, being a guy and all." I said.
"I can be trusted. I know well enough what the Do's and Dont's are when it comes to girls. I also know my limits which is important."
"Why won't you give Tenten a chance then? She's crazy about you!" I grinned.
"Nope!" He said getting up. "We're totally different people. I like peace and quiet, she likes to be loud and just annoying. Before I leave you alone, all I'm gonna say to you is that if I find out or so much as see Naruto in here at the ass Crack of dawn in your room without a shirt on... he's dead."
I nodded and stood up to give him a hug before he left my room.
As soon as my door closed I was able to breathe again and sighed in relief. That was close! I mean, could you imagine if he found out that Naruto slept over?! Hell no! I'd be no more.
I dragged myself into the shower and l Ioved how the water felt as it spalshed onto my body.
My eyes widened at a sudden realization as I poured shampoo onto my head.
My birthday is in 6 days.
Naruto
"So he bought it?!"
"Dude I don't know. It looked like he did" I said to Itachi as we sat at a coffee shop at 10:30 am.
After Hinata's house, we met up with Itachi at a Starbucks because Sasuke's inner white girl was kicking in and since ItachI wanted to know what happened, he came along.
"Let's hope he did cause I think I've had enough of drama with Neji" said Sasuke coming back from getting his drink.
"What the hell is that?" Asked Itachi pointing at his Starbucks in disgust.
"It's Java Chip with extra caramel and chocolate" he answered happily after taking a sip.
"You mean Diabetes with extra diarrhea and stomach pain later along the day?"
"Yes bitch" He said. "But anyway, I'm sure the whole Neji shit is over with. I mean from what Hinata said, it made Neji kinda just stop."
"Let's hope so" I said.
"But I think it's best you don't sleep over again dude. You don't wanna have to deal with happened today again do you?"
I shook my head no in response. I didn't wanna have myself or Hinata go through Neji again. Worse for Hinata since she lives under the same roof as him.
"So do you think you're going to see her again today?" Asked Itachi.
"I really want to." I said. "I wanna kiss her again. like even if she's asleep again!"
Sasuke almost chocked on his Java chip.
"Don't be doing it when she's unaware! " he cried. "Let her be awake you weirdo"
"Damn, busting a sleeping beauty on her or whaaat?" laughed Itachi.
"I can't help it! she's just so beautiful!"
"Dude she likes you. Like totes likes you" said Itachi.
"What if she doesn't?"
Itachi gave Sasuke a look and lightly nudged him in the shoulder. "You moron. What girl agrees to let a guy sleep over in her home, share the bed, and cuddle? I mean did you guys cuddle Naruto?"
"We did" I said nodding my head.
Itachi crossed his arms and fell back on to the chair. "Boom. Point blank obvious she likes our little ray of sunshine hair. See her today Naruto. You gotta take every moment and make it count to build her feelings and most importantly, make her remember you"
Hinata
"I'm just glad nothing too crazy happened. I just wish Hanabi didn't snitch" Said Sai.
"Where did you say he went again?"
"He went to the mall with Shino and Shikamaru to buy a few things im not sure. He took Hanabi with him so they'll be out for a while" I answered Gaara. "I wish she didnt snitch either but she did."
I invited Sai over and he brought Gaara with him which I didn't mind. We sat in my dining room table eating chips and salsa and talking.
"Hinata why don't you just tell him how you feel already! You said he kissed you in your sleep! He obviously likes you! I can feel it in my right nipple" said Sai.
"She doesn't want to tell him yet dude. Respect her decison" Gaara turned away from Sai and looked at me. "You know when you should confess to him?"
I shrugged.
"You should tell him how you feel on your birthday" he answered.
Sai frowned, "No don't. Why on that day? She-"
"Sai shut up and let me explain!" exclaimed Gaara throwing a chip at him then turning back at me. "Listen, it's the right time and place. It's on your special day and Naruto organized the whole thing just for you. It's evident he likes you Hinata. Thank him on that day and let him know how you feel."
"But there's a problem I ended up remembering just now", I said.
Both boys looked at me in question.
"What?"
"When I met Naruto after I lost my brain, he introduced himself to me and we talked. While we talked he told me that we have this friend in our group that likes me and he's gonna introduce him to me on my birthday. Like now I don't understand why he shows interest in me when he told me he's gonna introduce me to someone" I said.
Both Gaara and Sai looked at each other in confusion.
"What the fuck? What friend? We all hang out with each other every damn day at school and outside of school. Naruto's been the only one up on your sac, what friend?!" asked Sai.
"Unless he was talking about himself" Said Gaara shrugging his shoulders. "I mean, Sai's right. We all hang out on the daily. There's like 14 of us, we hang out in groups if we're not all in one bunch. You, me and Sai are hangin out in a group right now. Neji, Shika and Shino are in a group hanging out at the mall. Like that. He was talking about himself. Don't worry about it at all."
"You think so?"
"Yeah! Who else could it be?"
"You're right." I nodded. "I'll tell him how I feel on my birthday"
"Good! Now if you excuse us," Said Gaara getting up. "We gotta go now"
"Oh that's right!" Smiled Sai stuffing his face with chips. "You promised me a lunch date!"
"Shut up fag."
"A lunch date?" I laughed.
Gaara sighed and rolled his eyes. "Last night Sai and Sakura invited me over to her house and we played poker. We made bets and Sai put a 20 dollar bill, Sakura put 10 and I put 20 too and Sai said that if he won, he gets to use the money to have me pay to take him out to lunch"
"So Sai won and you get the money to take him out for lunch?" I asked.
"Yeah. I mean if I won I wouldn't be wasting time, gas and my winnings on him. So let's get this over with Sai" He groaned taking his keys out of his pocket.
Sai smiled and stood up and gave me a goodbye hug right after Gaara. I walked both of them to the door and waved at them as Gaara backed out of my drive way.
"Have fun!" I shouted.
"I wont!" Said Gaara back.
As soon as I shut the door my phone began to ring.
It was Naruto.
"Hey!"
"Hey Hinata how are things with Neji?" He greeted.
I walked over to the sofa and sat down. "It was pretty scary but I got him off our backs. He said that if he sees you shirtless in my room and in my bed again, he'll kill you and most likely me too"
"I'm sorry you got in trouble. I shouldn't have tickled you. It wouldn't have made Hanabi hear you and come in" He said.
"Hey it's all over and taken care of now" I assured him.
"Do you mind coming over to my place for a while?"
"Sure!"
"I'll pick you up then"
"Alright"
"See you soon beautiful" He said.
We hung up and I ran upstairs to change out of my pj's I was still wearing.
I put on a white crop top, some high wasted shorts and my red flannel over with my sneakers. I brushed out my hair and tied it up in a pony tail and swooped my bangs to the side.
I Applied some eyeliner and winged it and put a little bit of some blush and gloss.
The wonders of makeup.
A few minutes later I received a text from Naruto telling me to come outside.
I went out and locked my door and made my way to his car.
He smiled as I got in. "You look gorgeous"
"Thank you" I smiled back and buckled up.
"Pizza or burgers?" He asked as we began to drive.
"Uuhh for what?" I asked.
"No questions. Just choose"
"...Pizza"
"Doritos or Cheetos?"
"What kind are we talking about?"
"Hmmm Cool ranch and Hotcheetos"
"Cool ranch"
"Nice choices" He laughed.
"Why the food questions?" I asked.
"You'll see" He smiled.
We stopped by Domino's and picked up a large pepperoni box of pizza and at the store and bought a big bag of Cool ranch Doritos and an Arizona for each of us.
We got to his house and I helped him carry the chips and drinks while he carried the pizza.
"Are we gonna be fattys at your house?" I said as he was unlocking his front door.
"Yes. Yes we are" he grinned.
We said Hello to his nana and made our way into Naruto's room.
I blushed uncontrollably as I saw blankets on his bed and fluffed pillows and Netflix on his TV screen. He planned a day filled with good Pizza, chips and a movie for us!
"We're gonna be fat asses together while watching your choice of movie" He said placing the Pizza in the middle of the bed.
We took off our shoes and got under the covers.
"Can we watch a scary movie?" I asked as I put the chips next to the pizza.
"Course we can. It'll be a good excuse for you to hold on to me if you get scared"
I laughed and cuddled up right next to him.
We picked a movie called The Conjuring and ate pizza and the chips we got.
There were a few jump scares and I found myself burrying my face into Naruto's v-neck whenever I got scared.
He had his arms around me and my legs rested on top of his.
"Too scary for you?"
I shook my head no. "Not when I have you to protect me"
"Am I your super hero?" he said putting his forhead against mine.
"Yes. You're my super hero from all scary movies" I giggled.
We began to rub our noses together and I gave him a small kiss on the tip of his nose.
He smiled and kissed my nose too. I kissed both sides of his cheek and he kissed my forehead and cheeks as well.
He carresed my face & looked into my eyes.
"You're so perfect" He whispered.
I am horrible at updating. But I did promise I'd finish and I will. Hope you guys liked it. Leave pretty reviews and stuff :)
