Being back in Konoha brought back painful memories. She just wanted to stay in at her new apartment.
Hinata sighed as again Kiba was begging her to join him.
"I just finished unpacking, everyone understands and I'll go next week." She sighed as she rested on the couch next to Shino.
Out of all the friends in high school she was the last one to come back home. Before her it was Sasuke who came back last year.
"And it's not like there's much to catch up on. I Skype with you two and the girls every week."
The girls being Sakura, Ino, TenTen, Hanabi and surprisingly Temari who she met through Ino and was now Shikamarus wife.
That's how she knew about Sasuke and that six months after his return he asked Sakura out on a date. They two have been dating ever since.
"I think you're just scared to see you know who." Kiba teased but hidden in his tone was an edge. "You can't avoid him now that you're back."
"I'm not avoiding anyone." Hinata knows that her two best friends can tell she's lying.
She hasn't seen nor talked to Naruto since the last time a year ago when she visited for the holidays. She didn't tell them the details just that she embarrassed herself and can't show her face anymore around him.
"Whatever you did can't be that bad."
She looked to Shino for help and he shrugged, "He was really sad when you just left abruptly last time and he told us you've been ignoring all his calls."
Last time she saw Naruto the group wanted to go to the clubs and let loose. Hinata got really drunk and everyone noticed how Naruto stayed by her side all night. Hinata noticed as well and had hoped the drinks would let her be brave.
They made her too brave.
She remembers everyone leaving and Naruto whispering in her ear about how beautiful she was. About how sexy she was dressed. Her response was to pull him in for a kiss.
After that she doesn't know how they got there just that they were in his bedroom. She gasped when he grabbed the low top of her dress and ripped it off her.
"Naru-" She moaned as he tugged her underwear down. When he finally got her naked he threw her on his bed. She bounced a little and she saw how mesmerized he was by her chest.
Suddenly self-conscious she tried to cover her breasts with her arms but he grunted and pinned her hands away.
"You're so fucking beautiful."
Hinata remembers it everyday. How hard and fast he pounded into her, she especially liked it when he was pumping her from behind like a wild animal. How she moaned and a fresh gush of her juices came out when he pulled her hair. They both came so many times Hinata lost count.
It wasn't till early in the morning when he fell asleep but she was wide awake. Not because she wasn't satisfied but because she sobered up and realized that she had sex with Naruto. The man she's been in love with since Pre-K.
The boy in high school who rejected her because he was in love with Sakura at the time.
At that thought Hinata is reminded of her confession and her rejection and a wave of pain crashes through her heart. She knows this was only a one time thing so she gets up quietly and sneaks out.
She's been ignoring him ever since.
"EARTH TO HINATA."
She jerks out of her memories and goes wide eyed at how close Kiba is waving his hand in her face.
"Oh sorry Kiba." She mumbles and leans on Shino to rest her head.
"That's it! You can't avoid him forever!."
She gasped and sat upright shaking her head profusely.
She heard Shino sigh and turned towards him.
"Hinata he's right. Let's go."
She protested but rather weakly because she knew they were right. That's how she surprised everyone by showing up to dinner.
Everyone was so happy to see her. She blushed at all the attention she was getting and was ushered in by Ino and Sakura. She was so nervous she couldn't make eye contact with the handsome blonde haired man who was staring at her. She could feel his gaze on her as she sat a few seats down next to her cousin who had ushered her to sit there.
Being with everyone again and not just seeing them across a screen was amazing. It had been too long and Hinata was really glad that her friends had made her come.
After dinner a few of them went to the bar. She tried to protest but Ino wasn't having it. You had to be blind not to notice the way Narutos attention was divided between his friends and Hinata. It was like watching a predator stalk it's prey.
Hinata being the meek little bunny and Naruto the sly fox.
So even the friends who were calling it a night after dinner urged Hinata to stay out. Shino was sitting it out but Kiba said he'd stick by her all night.
He lied and sure enough Hinata was sitting by herself at the bar. She felt silly with how she was under-dressed in jeans and a loose blouse but to her surprise the bartender slipped a drink in front of her that she didn't order.
"From the guy over at the end of the bar." He gestured with his head.
She looked over thinking she'd see Naruto but the eyes she connected with were the wrong shade of blue and his hair was white. She smiled timidly when he nodded at her. She reached for the drink unsure if she'd like it before her wrist was pulled away.
"Ah-" she gasped and there was Naruto behind her trapping her in with his arms on either side of her.
"You belong to me."
Hinata blushed and couldn't control her body reacting. She tried to squeeze her thighs together to ease the sensation and she heard Naruto chuckle.
"Come with me." He demanded.
She must be going crazy because her body reacted to his demanding tone. She tried to be strong and not follow his every command but it was such a turn on for her.
"Hinata you're only making it worse." He all but growled in her ear.
She gulped and slipped off the stool. He clasped her hand in his big warm one and pulled her to the exit.
She made eye contact with Kiba and sent him a good signal. He sighed in relief and then winked at her. She blushed and gripped Narutos hand tighter.
This time she wasn't drunk on the way to his house. Naruto grabbed her hand and held it on his lap as he drove. He caressed the back of her hand slowly.
Hinata let herself believe this was how it could be if they were a normal couple dating. All too soon he was leading her in his bedroom.
"Strip." She obeyed.
"I should make you deep throat my cock for ignoring me all this time."
She gulped as he too stripped in front of her.
"Almost a whole year."
She blinked. That's what he was so angry about? He had to wait a year before he got laid again. Suddenly she wasn't in the mood. He must think her some easy lay.
She couldn't stop the tears and she shakily started putting her underwear on.
"What are you-"
She gasped as she struggled to get dressed and tripped in her rush.
Naruto always the gentleman caught her before she landed. She pushed him away.
"Hinata what is it?" Gone was the commanding voice and now it was concern for her.
She didn't want to speak. She reached for her bra but he beat her too it, holding it in the air above her.
"Not until we talk."
She wiped her tears away, "I can't do this with you. I want more than the occasional hookup."
He stepped closer, "Me too! That's why I kept reaching out to you. That night was amazing. When I saw you I was mesmerized. And then that night it was so amazing, the best. I wanted us to try even if there was distance between us. I was so close to just flying out to you."
Hinata looked at him in shock. He took that moment to drop her bra and step forward to caress her cheek.
"I wasn't serious about being mad because I waited a year. I know you've been waiting for me for a lot longer. I could wait for you just like you did."
Now it was happy tears streaming down her face. "Do you mean it?"
He laughed and leaned forward so their foreheads were pressed against each other.
"I'm sorry it took me so long." She smiled up at him, all was forgiven.
"I love you Hinata."
She grinned and took him by surprise by sinking to her knees and taking him deep in her throat.
