It's Hinata's birthday and Naruto's worrying on what to give her.
/more/
to a greater degree or extent
The available ninjas belonging to the known Konoha 11 gathered and brainstormed for a very important and critical mission. The New Year's Eve festival was approaching yet here they were huddling over the best course of action.
Just like during the war, this time was also for one Uzumaki Naruto.
"What did you guys do this time?" Sakura and Ino asked while running towards their comrades.
Naruto slumped his shoulders and sighed heavily.
"Oh, come on now, Naruto! You gotta' be kidding me!" Kiba angrily remarked at the blonde. The Inuzuka pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head. "Hinata's not even rejecting you yet. You're just buying her a gift!"
Sai, although smiling, was already waving his arms in an 'X' manner as a form of warning that that specific topic was extremely red flag.
"Kiba…" Sakura warily put a hand on Kiba's shoulder and shook her head dismissively. "You don't even want to go there."
"So what have you guys planned so far?" Ino asked trying to move things forward.
Tenten, who was twirling her kunai, informed, "Well, these guys planned to have Naruto buy a special crochet set for Hinata, but they saw her, and her clansmen exit a stationery shop with a better crochet set in hand."
"What? I'm sorry. Crochet set?!" Ino asked and she burst in laughter with Sakura.
Sakura was even out of breath. "What do you think of Hinata? Some grandma or something?"
The boys looked at each other questioningly. Like, they didn't exactly get it. Who gets girls anyway?
"Well, come to think of it. Hinata has 'grandma hobbies' based on my observation." Shino interjected as he pushed up his specs.
Grandma hobbies…Kiba tried to stifle his laugh, but it was so true. Hinata did have 'Grandma hobbies'. It was also his observation even before, but he couldn't exactly put a name for it. He just couldn't help but laugh that they have a label for it now and he had something new to tease her with.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Who cares if Hinata has 'Grandma hobbies' -ttebayo? There's nothing funny with it!" Naruto spoke up seriously which intrigued his comrades.
"Whoa! The defensive ninja boyfriend, Uzumaki Naruto." Kiba teased as they all clapped their hands to join the bandwagon.
Oh, they love doing this! Finally, they have something to use to bully him. Back then, Naruto always got the upper-hand when it came to teasing people. He was the rambunctious Uzumaki Naruto anyway so it's either they gave up because of his energy to talk or Sakura would just find other ways to shut him up. Now, they finally got a weapon…
"No one's making fun of Hinata here." Sakura clarified. Well, maybe they were teasing Naruto, but seeing that he was really serious about this matter, they must get things moving. "We're here to help, okay?"
"I know. I know that. It's just…" Naruto ran a hand along his hair desperately. "I don't know. I want the best… Tonight's her birthday and…"
"We get it. We get it, lover boy." Ino encouraged him. "Don't worry! We got a solution for you."
Women's eyes sparkled with joy and couples lined up with hope as they decide the one out of a million dazzling choices.
Rock Lee beamed with pride as he proudly introduced one of their village's exclusive stores. "Welcome to Konoha Gold! Here we can find the finest jewelries made of youthful craftsmanship deserving of your love!"
Everyone sweat-dropped at the bowl-cut's highfalutin introduction. The boys rejected to enter the store while it's the girls who accompanied Naruto in the grandiose shop filled with beautiful jewelries.
Sakura, Tenten and Ino immediately roamed the shop on the hunt for the one ring that's best for Hinata's birthday.
Naruto, on the other hand, froze at the sight of them all. He gulped dryly as soon as he saw the items' price. And damn! A single band cost four B-rank missions! Of course, he didn't just want to give Hinata a simple band. He wanted to give her the best and he's so damn sure that the best would cost more.
Never mind! It didn't matter if it would all be for Hinata. She's worth more than any missions and he would get her the ring she deserved regardless of the price on the tag.
"Here, Naruto. It's Topaz. Hinata's birthstone. I'm sure she'll love it." Ino presented him a ring with a turquoise colored gem on top. "Plus, it's also reminiscent of your eyes, so she'll always remember you as long as you wear this."
"Oh, it really looks like your eyes, Naruto." Tenten commented.
Naruto inspected the piece and truly, the stone's color was the same as his eyes. The gem was not too big and flashy, so it looked like something Hinata would like. He inspected the price and it's a whooping how many A-rank missions!
He froze for a while. Holy cram!
For Hinata! For Hinata! For Hinata!
"You did a great job there, huh, Ino!" Sakura complimented but she presented Naruto with another different design. "But here, Naruto, is the symbol of what your love is to her. You said that you wanted to stay with her forever right?"
Naruto just nodded his head.
"Well, here's sort of an engagement ring." The pink-haired showed him a golden band twisted form a sign of eternity. "It's called an infinity ring."
He looked at the jewelry and admired how it was made. It was beautiful and there's no doubt that Hinata was more than perfect to wear this. He flipped at the tag and he wasn't surprised at the price anymore. The only problem now was choosing. Deep inside, however, there's something inside his chest that's nagging him.
Shouldn't he ask Hinata about what she likes?
Would she be happy with these designs? With these rings?
He exhaled his worries away as his eyes were suddenly caught by a ring with a diamond. That stone represented Hinata a lot. It was simple, pure and clear just like her. It also looked so sturdy yet very vulnerable, something you'd totally take care of and treasure.
"Sir, this is an original diamond." The salesgirl informed as she showed him the ring. She continued to speak about its carat and clarity, but Naruto's focus was smitten by its light.
Certainly, Hinata.
He came back to his senses once the salesgirl informed the price that made his eyes widen. This ring cost three rings altogether! He tried composing himself so as to not hyperventilate. This ring was the perfect one! He knew it!
"Naruto…" Ino and Sakura called out with a sympathetic expression.
They reconvened with their friends outside the store empty-handed as the three shook their heads in despair. The girls discussed the dilemma while Naruto tried to find ways to afford that diamond ring, when he heard several passersby.
"Are they even true?" The other one asked.
"I don't even know. PR stunt, I think. She's the Hyuga Princess!" Another added and continued. "It will be good for the lined-up Hokage."
Naruto pinched close his eyes. For long, the village had criticized him ever since he was a young child that he learned how to tune them down and prove them wrong. He just didn't expect that some would even speculate about his relationship with Hinata. He couldn't take it that other people talk shit about the love they share, but he always pictured how Hinata handled this situation. She was always calm and composed like those things didn't matter to her as long as they were staying strong.
Well, if Hinata could do it, he can as well, right? Besides, he still had to worry about the perfect gift to give her.
"Just say it, we can loan you an amount." Sakura whispered to Naruto while pointing to their smiling teammate, Sai.
The blonde just rubbed the back of his head while chuckling dismissively. "It's okay, guys. No worries."
Sakura sighed and she was called by Ino as they needed to discuss an upcoming project for the hospital. Surprisingly, Sai tagged along with them.
"Cheer up, Naruto!" Rock Lee smiled and tried to cheer his friend up. "Hinata-san loves you. I'm sure she will like whatever you'll give her."
"And Hinata was in the same position you are right now when she was thinking what kind of choclate to give you during last year's Valentine's Day." Shino added.
"Yeah, yeah, I can still remember her mustering the courage to give Naruto her chocolate." Kiba snorted and laughed. "But this idiot didn't even realize what it was for!"
"Kiba!" Tenten hissed as she pushed the Inuzuka away. "Don't mind what he said, Naruto!"
"Geez, I was just messin' you around. How about we'll be the ones to arrange for the get together later so you can go prepare your gift for Hinata?" Kiba suggested and they all supported.
Naruto looked at his friends and he could see the concern in their eyes. It was such a shame that he brought them into his own personal problem.
"I'm really sorry for bothering you with this." Naruto said sheepishly.
What kind of a boyfriend was he?
He didn't even have a clue on how to give Hinata the best for her birthday. He just wanted it to be special and memorable, because this was the very first birthday of Hinata that he could spend as his boyfriend. Probably, this was also the very first time he'd be celebrating the birthday of the person he loves.
"Don't worry we got your back, Naruto-kun!" Rock Lee assured as the blonde grinned at them.
Kiba flashed his sharp fangs and gave Naruto a thumbs-up. "Yeah, we got this, so we gotta hurry to prepare!"
His friends bid him farewell as they went on their own way. He was still thinking on how he can afford that diamond ring in the jewelry shop. Out of his pocket, he pulled out Gama-chan to count his remaining budget accidentally dropping several of his belongings on the snow-covered floor.
He stooped to pick them up, until he saw something and a sudden realization hit him.
That's it!
Sakura sat beside Kurenai-sensei. Recently, she was always overworking herself at the hospital. She was always known for living out her passion in life and it just so happened that her career was her passion. Perhaps, she was also taking her mind off from a certain someone.
Sasuke had visited Konoha during their Moon mission and yet…
She shook her head and the thoughts of him away. Right now, it was their get together for Hinata's birthday. It was not too big since their friend was not a fan of something too flashy.
Everyone was sharing a laugh while a bright blush was blatant on the couple's embarrassed faces. They're probably teasing them again. The last time Sakura tuned into the conversation, Hinata's teammates were revealing Naruto's cluelessness on Hinata's actions before the two got together even stammering and fainting at his presence, which was a big revelation for Naruto.
"I have never seen Hinata this happy." Kurenai-sensei said while Mirai-chan looked at them both.
Sakura smiled and thought the same. Hinata was always a withdrawn and gloomy child back then. Seeing her so open and bright now also made Sakura happy.
"And who would've thought that it would be Naruto who got to confess first." The older woman added which made the pink-haired one laugh.
"That knucklehead…He must learn it the hard way first before he gets it."
Kurenai laughed. "He's really unexpected. Just this lately, he insisted to be the one to buy Hinata's birthday cake."
That's so Naruto. Sakura thought.
They watched from a distance as others gave their gifts to Hinata and Naruto was watching with child-like curiosity as she opened each one of them. Sakura had already given her gift to Hinata. She intended to hand it privately, so Naruto won't snoop around.
"Recently, Hinata has been receiving a lot of gifts from everyone." Kurenai informed. "Just this earlier, a shinobi attempted to give her a ring, but she refused to accept."
"W-What!?" Sakura asked, shocked. That was Naruto's plan! "I-I mean… Yeah, of course, Hinata would decline. She's a very simple girl and she's already dating Naruto."
Kurenai nodded her head and added, "Yes, and you see… The Hyugas…they never really wear a ring. That kind of accessory would just get in the way of their taijutsu and I doubt a ring will survive a juuken strike."
Sakura didn't know how to respond to that.
She collected her thoughts for a moment and noticing that Hinata and Naruto were already saying their 'goodbyes'. She felt like she must do something.
Must she talk with Hinata that Naruto was planning to give her a ring? But that would take away the sincerity of Naruto's actions.
Must she inform Naruto about what she just found out? Well, he can still sell the ring.
That's right!
Sakura excused herself from Kurenai-sensei and hurriedly approached Naruto and Hinata. "Naruto! Word, please."
Naruto stepped a little bit away from his girlfriend. "Sakura-chan?"
"Listen, about the ring…"
The blonde waved his hand dismissively and confidently said, "Tsk! Don't worry about it -ttebayo!"
"There's something you should know!"
"Sakura-chan," Naruto pulled Hinata into him and draped an arm across her. "I got this, okay?"
Idiot! Sakura was left speechless and she can barely hear Hinata said farewell. There, she watched as Naruto carried Hinata away.
Naruto placed Hinata down as soon they neared the Hyuga compound.
Her birthday was always during the cold Winter and she always felt the same. The Hyugas hardly celebrate such festivities. Through time, her birthdays became warmer and she can never ignore that fact. Tonight, was the warmest so far and she knew that every birthday spent with Naruto-kun would only get even warmer each year.
She was very happy.
She was very happy that she felt the confidence to initiate holding Naruto-kun's hand. Besides, the street was practically empty so nobody could see them this close.
The action seemed to surprise him a little as he was always the first one to hold her hand, but Hinata felt a different kind of victory upon seeing his astonishment. This somehow gave her an idea to do this more often.
"Did you have fun tonight?" Naruto-kun asked, his voice was whispery and low making her feel like it was just the two of them.
She nodded her head in response.
"Really?" He asked.
She looked up and smiled, "Yes."
"Hmmm?" Naruto-kun puffed his cheeks. "Hinata…"
"Yes?"
"I didn't get you any gift. Would that be alright?"
She just looked at him dead in the eyes. Her expression bearing the common Hyuga stoicism. She let go of his hand and dipped her head low. "I can't believe it, Naruto-kun."
Naruto panicked. He never really intended to offend her. He was just being playful and all.
"Hi-Hinata, are you…are you upset?"
She shook her head. "More."
"W-What? N-No I mean. H-Hina-" He stopped once he heard and saw her laughing.
Hinata clung to Naruto-kun's arm, while she looked up to meet his gaze. "Of course, it's just fine, Naruto-kun. I really thought that the cake was already your birthday present. And even if you didn't give me anything, just having you here with me and getting to celebrate my birthday with you like this is more than enough for me, Naruto-kun."
Naruto looked at her with longing eyes and gave her a warm smile.
"Now, it's my turn" He said.
They stopped from walking and he faced her.
"Close your eyes and hold out your hand, Hinata."
She did as she was told so. In the darkness, she could hear several things in the background. She felt Naruto-kun's breathing coming closer to her and something really cold and metallic on her hand.
"Open now," he instructed.
Hinata opened her eyes and she was welcomed by something she never expected. She couldn't believe this!
"Yup! Hehehe…" Naruto rubbed his nape his usual way. "That one is for my bedroom, this one is for the bathroom…I don't usually lock them, but I give you a copy anyway. And that golden one, is for the main door."
Hinata just stared at the keys on her hand.
"I-I know it's very simple and not even pricey, because all I have is my name and that lonely apartment, but I was just thinking that perhaps you could share those with me."
She just looked at him like she was dreaming, still not believing that everything was true.
"I don't know if that makes any sense to you, but you can really do whatever you want with it y'know. Like maybe you can make my apartment your stockroom or whatever. I mean, feel free. I'm sharing it with you now. I mean, you don't necessarily have to live with me, because your dad might kill me. I mean, I don't care if you paint everything with purple. Just ask me to paint it for you and I'll do it and you don't need to worry about everything. Konohamaru and I already did a general cleaning earlier and.…" Naruto noticed Hinata's blank expression on the keys. He gulped and nervously asked. "Don't…Don't you like it-"
"No!" She protested and immediately wiped her tears. "This is worth more than anything out there. This is perfect, Naruto-kun! You…You just don't know how perfect this is...I… I never thought that…I'm really very happy."
"Hinata, just say it. I'll not get offended if-" He was halted when she suddenly hugged him.
"I love you, Naruto-kun." Her embrace on him tightened. "I know that these keys are also more than just keys to you. You said that all that you have are your name and your home, so thank you…Thank you for giving me a part of your everything,"
Naruto was glad. He was glad that he made Hinata happy and he was certain that she was genuinely happy right now, because for the very first time since they came back from the moon, he heard her say 'I love you'.
He hugged her back and pulled her face slightly away from his chest, so he can see her face. "I love you too, Hinata. Happy Birthday."
At times like this, Naruto could feel that no one was around to see what they were about to do. Cupping her cheeks with his hand, he leaned forward until they were just inches away. His lips were already faintly touching her soft ones.
Naruto was just building up the anticipation and trying to tease, but it turned out that it was even difficult for him. He gulped. His throat felt like he was thirsty, and a dry cough echoed in the cold atmosphere.
He grunted as Hinata immediately parted away from him. He turned his attention to the guy who awkwardly dry-coughed just interrupt his moment with his girlfriend.
"Naruto, I'm sorry to disturb you, but the Hokage calls for you. You have a mission."
Naruto sighed in disappointment and said 'goodbye' to Hinata, but she ran up to him just to give him a quick kiss on the cheek which boosted his energy and made him smile.
"I'll come and find you when I get back!" He said, looking back at her.
"Take care, Naruto-kun." Hinata said while waving her hand at him.
Unlike before, Naruto was more efficient when dealing with his missions. Most likely, because he was more excited to get back and have a free time. Hinata was assigned to organize the festival booths so that means she's not having missions in faraway villages.
"Oh, I see. I didn't expect to receive these herbs this fast, Naruto, Chouji." Ino commented as she inspected something with Sakura.
"Someone's inspired though," Chouji commented while nudging Naruto, which made the girls hoot.
"Did Hinata accept the ring?" Sakura asked, not taking her eyes off from the microscope.
"Ah no! I didn't give her the ring."
"What?!" Ino asked. "So what did you give her?"
"Please, Naruto. Tell me, you at least promised to give her anything." Sakura said.
Naruto clarified. "No! No! I already gave her something -ttebayo!"
"Really? So what is it? Huh, Naruto?" Ino asked.
"Well, keys." Naruto cheekily grinned. "I gave her-"
"Wait! Was it the limited edition Kondora Key Pendant Necklace?" Sakura asked, intrigued.
"Or maybe it's a charm bracelet!" Ino added.
"Uh…none of those."
"Eh? So what is it?" The girls reacted.
"I gave her the keys to my apartment dattebayo." Naruto proudly announced as h closed the zipper to his bag and picked it up. "Ahh…I gotta' go now, Sakura-chan, Ino!"
The two girls remained frozen as Naruto sped away with Chouji in tow. The information just dawned to them until…"What?!"
Naruto headed straight to the onsen to join Kiba and Shino after he reported for his recent mission. He was planning to hurry home just to drop his bag then he's off to find Hinata. She must be at the festival grounds checking the booths or somewhere at the marketplace waiting in line for her cinnamon bun.
At the foot of his door, his face automatically lit up just thinking of her. However, his grin dropped as soon as he reached his apartment.
There was something.
His eyes carefully wandered over the shiny wooden floor then at the spot where he usually placed his footwear and the alignment of his shoes and slippers.
At that moment, Naruto felt his head spiraling and eyes getting blurry. He clenched his fist tightly and gulped dryly. Slowly and carefully he lifted his foot to step forward.
His chest was gripping, and he wasn't sure if he's ready yet.
Like a star, she beamed at him while wiping her drenched fingers with her apron. Her eyes were sparkling and the tenderness in her features made it feel like it's hard to breathe. She's worth more than a diamond ring.
"Okaeri, Naruto-kun!"
Naruto immediately turned around as his tears fell involuntarily in the guise of taking off his shoes. He'd never thought that this day would come to him. He'd never expected this to happen. He'd always come to an empty room, but Hinata's gentle and welcoming smile made his lonely flat a home.
Cool, Naruto. Cool…
Covertly wiping off his tears, he flashed a smile and hastened to the kitchen where Hinata was cooking.
"Tadaima!" Naruto greeted quite nervously as he was still bottling up his emotions. "I…I was overwhelmed so I wasn't able to…"
"It's okay! I…actually it's me who has to be sorry for barging into your home, Naruto-kun…" Hinata stated while her fingers fidgeted on her apron. "I…I was just about to drop some groceries or m-maybe cook some dinner for you but…I ended moving your stuff and…But don't worry I just moved around the kitchen and living room and nothing else!"
Naruto gently gripped Hinata's shoulders and sincerely looked at her eyes. "Hinata, haven't I told you that you can treat this as your home? That we share this now. Plus, you could wait for me. I could have helped you. You could ask me to do anything, y'know. I can clean for you and do other things."
He was sure that he cleaned his apartment with Konohamaru but he never thought that it could still be this sparkling. Things were stacked properly, and everything was well-organized he couldn't believe it was the same messy and tumultuous apartment.
"I love doing this, Naruto-kun." Hinata placed her hands atop Naruto's. "I chose to do this. For years, I've been wondering how's it like for you to live all by yourself. I always wonder who does things for you, how do you get food every day and who takes care of you."
Naruto just stared at her frozen. He knew the depth of Hinata's love through her sacrifice for him during Pain's assault, but hearing these things coming from her, hearing these things he had never heard before…
"I-I-I know that… I wasn't in a place back then to worry and…but...I always feel it deep in my heart that Naruto-kun just wanted a place to belong. That's why…I'm very thankful and happy…" Though her tears triggered to fall, her smile stopped them and made her feel more comfortable. "Because I get to be the one to greet you home."
Feeling weak in his knees, Naruto gave his weight up on the nearest chair and firmly wrapped his arms around Hinata's waist, burying his face into her soft abdomen. His shoulders were shuddering as she smoothed circles on his back while her other hand gently patted his head.
"I'm not crying dattebayo." His voice muffled as he hid his face on her belly, his remark making her giggle.
"Back then, I remember, a little boy once told the village that he's not crying while he's wiping off his tears with his shirt." Hinata moved a little and reached out for Naruto. She met his eyes as she wiped his tears. "And now, he's saying the same thing while he's wiping off his tears with my shirt."
He gazed upon her admiringly until he elicited a grunt. "I can't believe this! This is so not cool. I cried in front of you dattebayo. You must think that I'm such a loser that I'm not really a-"
"Naruto-kun, it's okay." Hinata assured while giggling. "It's okay with me."
"How can you be like that?" Naruto pouted as he squeezed his cheek on her belly. "What if…What if I became too jealous?"
"It doesn't matter. It's alright with me."
"What if I become too clingy?"
"It's still okay, Naruto-kun."
"What if I need too much of your attention?"
She giggled. "Still okay."
Naruto tightened his embrace around her waist and looked at her. "What if…"
What if you stay here with me just like this from now on?
He couldn't describe how perfect she fit in his arms, how perfect she was in her apron while cooking, how perfect she was when she greeted him home. Most importantly, how perfect everything would be if she could stay with him from this forward.
But he couldn't be selfish. He couldn't just decide things for her. He couldn't just demand. He loves her and he must also think of what she likes and what she wants. As much as he wanted to spend his every day with Hinata, he also wanted to her to be ready. She'd been waiting for him for long years now, and he can't just enter her life and take her away just like that.
"Naruto-kun?"
He smiled at her and giggled. "Hmm…What if I couldn't get you a diamond ring?"
Hinata burst in laughter which she covered with her hand. "It's totally okay, an accessory like that can never stand our taijutsu that's why we never use one as Hyugas."
"Oh…"Naruto parted and chuckled nervously. "Is that so…"
"I remember Hanabi used a ring once and it broke while she's training." She added then her expression turned mortified. "W-Why? N-Naruto-kun don't tell me…"
"No! No! Don't worry, Hinata!" Thank god he changed his plan! "I mean something so expensive like that…"
"Yeah…It's very expensive…" Hinata worriedly muttered. "Something as expensive like that must be, I guess, decided by the both of us?"
Naruto gulped. Hinata's correct. "Yeah, I believe so. That's right."
The lid of the casserole on the stove clanked signaling that what Hinata was cooking might be ready. She went to check on it and soon she served their dinner. They talked while eating and Naruto was gradually discovering that playful side of Hinata. She was not showing everything yet and it seemed that he had a new goal of bringing it out of her.
Naruto washed the dishes while Hinata packed the leftovers. It was late at night already and he knew that he must walk her home. The wind was so cold outside, and he had an arm around her as they walked through the street.
Time always felt so short whenever they were together, but they treasure even that little time they have.
Stopping in front of the Hyuga compound, Naruto rocked back and forth as he sheepishly looked at Hinata.
"Uh…" He started and she looked up at him shyly.
They both scanned the area and affirmed that there's nobody around. Blushing, they reached towards each other for a quick kiss.
"Good night, Hinata." Naruto whispered.
"Good night, Naruto-kun."
Naruto began walking but he hesitated. He looked back at her and saw her watching him while feebly waving her hand.
They both felt it.
Ever since Hinata stepped into Naruto's apartment, they both knew that they wanted to stay together and never separate.
But Naruto must not be selfish.
And Hinata couldn't leave Hanabi yet and she hadn't talk with her father yet.
Hooking each other's gazes, they both went after each other and dove in for a kiss.
Her arms were both wrapped around his neck as she was on her tippy-toes. His hand was tangled on her hair while the other was on the small of her back pulling her flushed to him.
Their lips clashed in their own exercised way, however this time they were feeling like they still needed more. Both of their breathing became ragged and their kiss was getting heady. Involuntarily, Hinata elicited a moan which made Naruto accidentally glide his tongue across her lips.
They stopped momentarily, until Hinata had both of her feet on the ground. Naruto cupped her nape with his hand and deepened the kiss.
Should they be doing this? Is this alright? Hinata let him explore what he unintentionally did a while ago. Although his tongue tracing her own and her lips made her feel nervous and embarrased, it was also making her feel something weird yet satisfying. She knew that they weren't used to this kind of kissing yet, but it seemed to be the kiss that suit what they needed. This was so unbecoming of her. Her heart was supposed to give up with the sensation she's having but it felt like it only got stronger. She was having mixed feelings about this but she felt too weak to let go and she was not even sure if she even wanted to.
Naruto probed their kiss with his tongue tied with hers more and more. Hearing her soft and constrained moaning was making him lose his senses and all he could feel was the heat rising inside of him and this unquenchable need to nibble on her lips. He gulped as his throat felt like he was thirsty.
Suddenly, a dry cough echoed in the cold atmosphere.
All the heat that boiled inside of him dissipated and was turned into a frightening cold. His eyes widened and body froze. Shit!
Hinata pushed Naruto away with force and hid her face with the curtain of her hair. She was trembling and stammering and embarrassed. This can't be happening.
"Hinata."
"O-Otou-san!"
Hi guys!
Oh no, Naruto! You've been caught…red-handed!
It's Hinata's birthday! I'm not actually about to focus on Naruto's present but I really wanted to make the giving of his keys to Hinata as something really really special.
More apartment scenes on the way…Perhaps, more steamy apartment scenes… Eherm!
I know they sorta' made out, but it was just a teaser, guys. If secret lovers was about them being oblivious to each other's love, well this was about some other kind of tension if you know what I'm talking about. Don't worry. I'll make the elevation worth it and entertaining and perhaps not too long, but just at the right time. We all want lemons anyway.
So yeap, I might answer your reviews later or maybe on the next installment since my eyes hurt and I have an integrated marketing campaign aligned with this.
Again, thank you for your support! I couldn't voice it properly, I know. That's why I'll continue to write contents for you guys. That's why for prompts, ideas, any kind of crazy reactions cuz I'm totally reading and enjoying them I'm just batshit busy right now, drop 'em down below!
See you next update!
