ONE-SHOT:
Girl in the water

"Can you write something about Naruto discovering Hinata was the girl he saw dancing naked at the waterfall and Hinata being mortified?"

(T, Romance)

Naruto turned and twisted as he found it difficult to fall back asleep after being awoken by Kiba's out of the blue howling. More so, he was also disturbed to find out Lee's head in between his ankles.

He got up and untangled the limbs of his comrades that were obstructing his way, trying to avoid waking them up.

It had been winter for long in Konoha and the circle decided to have a vacation together at a neighboring village to enjoy a warmer season. Sakura and Ino were the ones who arranged the event and they chose a great spot for their outing. It was a resort with an indoor water park.

This morning was surely fun. They had beach volleyball and a treasure hunting, which became a battle between Sakura and Ino. Everything went fine and all.

Although Hinata was being too shy, hiding herself inside a hoodie jacket, he was glad to be paired up with his girlfriend during the treasure hunting game. They won, of course. All thanks to Hinata's Byakugan.

But Naruto couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. He was not able to have some quality time with her for the duration of the day! By quality time, he meant spending time with her without their friends' prying eyes on them.

God, he just wanted to, at least, kiss her! Don't get him wrong. He'd been away for missions after missions without her presence, but this was different.

She was just right there! Inches away from him! Standing beside him yet he couldn't hold her close properly. The closest he got this day was his arms around her waist and that's it! Attempts of kissing her, was always futile. There's that time when he noticed Sakura and Ino observing them as he shared a parfait with Hinata. He was so damn near, but he felt their eyes on them.

Naruto peered outside the window and observed the night sky. Perhaps, there's still a way for them to have their own private time together.

Carefully, he went out of the men's guestroom, hoping that Hinata took the side beside the window, so he can signal her to come with him outside.

Luckily for him, their rooms were just on the ground floor. However, the girls' was still on the other side of the resort, which meant that he still had to make a detour around the water park.

He quietly strolled the vicinity, when he noticed a certain figure under the man-made waterfalls.

Naruto was so entranced that he halted and absent-mindedly neared the scene, drawn by her enigmatic beauty. Under the moonlight, her graceful movements were bewildering.

Gradually, his mind recalled the mission he had with Team 8 way back then. Her unique dance and even the unexplainable familiar feeling he got while watching her-they were all present at this moment. It was like he's reliving the scene all over again.

For years, he thought she was just a dream; a dream he was constantly having even as he grew up. She was probably the one who captivated him the most, until Hinata. Her aura felt very familiar and very warm that he couldn't just forget her after all these years. It was as if he knew her.

Naruto smiled to himself. There's no point in knowing who this girl was. He already had Hinata, the most beautiful and the most amazing woman in the world. The important thing for him now was to see her and be close to her while they have the opportunity to be alone.

He turned around without hesitations, but failed to notice the step in the pool and almost slipped. Without thinking, he hissed due to the mild pain.

W-What?! Hinata sharply turned her head towards the sound's direction.

T-This can't be…

Reflexively, she crossed her arms over her chest, feeling bare despite her orange one-piece.

At first, she thought that the comfortable feeling was all because the water was getting warmer. But as soon as she saw those bright golden locks, she knew it.

Naruto-kun? She hurriedly turned around and prepared to run.

If Naruto-kun would see it's her, he'd know for sure that the girl he saw under that waterfalls from their mission from long time ago was also her. Worst part was, she was naked back then. Take note: Naked! No clothes, no underwear, just plain naked all for him to see during that night of their Bikochu mission.

Her face reddened and she fumbled as she tried to run. In panic, she twisted her ankles and tripped.

She heard splashing sounds of someone approaching her.

It's him!

With shaky hands, she tried to get up, keeping her best to maintain her balance.

Hinata felt Naruto's hand on her shoulder. She swiftly moved away. His tight grip on her shoulder and her too sudden movement ripped apart a strap of her swimsuit.

Shocked, she faced him, not realizing that she just revealed who she was.

"Hinata…"

She immediately attempted to piece back the torn strap and dipped her head low in embarrassment.

This can't be happening!

Naruto just stared at her.

Everything finally made sense.

He took in her blushing face and her state of almost (thank god it didn't happen) undress. Good grief, he just tore only a strap of her bathing suit. He respected her so much that he didn't want her to misunderstand that everything happened accidentally. But god damn! That hoodie from earlier didn't do her figure any justice! Also, he couldn't deny that he was getting a tingling sensation, though. He felt the spark right at the moment he clasped her shoulder. His said hand was now resting on her upper-arm, which was a more dangerous property, but he had to act as a man she deserved.

Naruto calmed his composure and scooped Hinata up into his arms, causing her to elicit a tiny squeak.

"Na-Naruto-kun!" She protested.

"You tripped. Let me check up on you."

Hinata kept quiet as she let Naruto carry her towards the nearest bench. He positioned her on the other side from him. Gently, he stretched her legs and cradled her feet on his lap, one of which had an injured ankle.

Naruto made it a point to keep his eyes on his movements as he softly aided Hinata in ankle rotation.

"Am I hurting you?" He asked without looking.

"No, it's not that painful. Thank you." She answered with a frail voice.

They both knew that they needed to address the situation at hand. Hinata must face the fact that Naruto finally knee it was her and Naruto must admit to her how stupid he had been all this time.

If he only knew that the girl underneath the waterfalls was her…

If he only knew that she was the beautiful image that visited him during his sleep way back…

Being the more assertive one in the relationship, Naruto gazed upon Hinata and intentionally caught her eyes.

He trembled at her sight, flushed face, beautiful eyes and radiant skin. Every bit of her wad inviting to be touched. His eyes trailed along the droplet of water that fell from her chin down to her collarbone. He wanted to capture that single drop. He wanted to know how sweet it would taste against her skin.

He was just a man.

He missed his girlfriend so much and the discovery that she's the one hunting his dreams made his yearning even stronger. Not to mention, that her swimsuit made it even more difficult for him to resist his urge to touch her, to feel her and to hold her tight.

Call him greedy but she's the most beautiful woman in the world and he would never again waste another time to have her so close.

Hinata felt Naruto's warm and rough hand skimming up against her bare leg. It stopped as soon as it reached her waist, gripping tightly as he inched forward close to her face. He raised his other hand and gently tied the torn strap of her swimsuit. His ragged breathing was matching her erratic heartbeat as he did so.

Knowing what's about to happen next, she closed her eyes and let out a helpless whimper as soon as he could feel his breath onto her lips.

And then they touched.

He was slow and sensuous, not leaving any detail of her lips untraced. It was a rhythm that made her comfortable and wanting more, even.

Naruto parted with little distance and she was left aching.

"I thought you were just a dream. A dream I always have." He whispered.

Could they skip the explanation and just go back to kissing?

"I was never about to approach you back there, until I realized it was you, Hinata. All this time it was you." His voice low and sandy, making her weaker.

With how close they were, she was starting to lose all sense of reason. Probably, because of the intense embarrassment coming from the fact that Naruto-kun already knew that she was the girl dancing in the water and the fact that she was wearing a bathing suit made her want to forget this embarrassing scenario.

She closed her eyes and gripped his shirt, pulling him closer to her.

"Naruto-kun" It was a demand.

Surely, having his lips on hers almost made her forget how to breathe again. However, they only have until dawn for themselves before their friends wake up, so they better make the most of this.

Hi guys!

TBH, I have a separate concept about this which I consider is OG for me. The "OG" version was supposed to be uploaded in star vessel, so this one-shot right here is just another angle on how I see it happening.

FEEL FREE TO DROP PROMPTS!
