The man sighed as he fixed his collar and examined himself in the mirror. If he would have known that he was signing up for constant ridicule he wouldn't have even spared a glance at the application. However, the reality was he was dirt poor. Always had been ever since his parents and godfather died when he was five. He went from the posh world of mansions and having anything he could ever want to having to go into hiding and hunt for food. A few years ago the people responsible for their deaths had been captured and he thought his life would go back to normal.
Turns out that, according to those in charge of the case, his inheritance had disappeared. He knew it was bullshit though, he was sure some dirty cops stole it. So when he saw a job in the newspaper that had great pay, provided housing and food he could not pass it up. So that was how he found himself working as a butler for the prestigious Hyuga family. They all knew about his circumstances and most of them were absolute assholes about it. He had to refrain from punching someone daily. The only one of them who was any good was Hinata, his boss's oldest daughter. She was gorgeous, kind, and had a banging body. She was also completely out of his league. He was a lowly butler and she was a rich girl who had all the options in the world.
"Uzumaki, get in here!" screamed his boss.
"Yes, sir," he replied as he scrambled to get to his boss's location.
"I have a new job for you this week. If you do it well you'll get paid double your salary." the man stated.
"Yes, sir. Whatever you need sir," he replied dutifully.
"Hinata is sick. She's come down with a cold and she's going to need to be on bed rest until she's better. We can't risk her infecting anyone else. So for the next week, you're going to be doing whatever she needs. Bring her food, water, and keep her company. You got that Uzumaki?" the older man questioned.
"Yes, sir. Thank you for the job, sir," he said while bowing.
"Chop Chop Uzumaki, she's waiting for you." his boss demanded while shooing him away.
The blonde man turned around quickly so the old man wouldn't see the twitch in his eye from being treated like a damn dog. The other emotion he felt was joy. This was his chance to get to know the pale-eyed girl better. Plus even if he couldn't charm her he would still be getting paid double his salary. This was a win-win situation in his eyes. So he walked swiftly to the girl's door and gave a soft knock.
"Miss Hinata, may I come in?" he asked.
"Ye-cough- yes," she replied.
"Hello miss. I was tasked to be your personal butler for the duration of your illness. So anything you need feel free to ask." he said with a smile and a thumbs up.
"Oh, Naruto-kun! You don't have to be so formal." she scolded playfully.
"Says the girl who still calls me Naruto-kun" he sarcastically rebutted.
"Touche," she said with a blush.
From there the conversation was easy. She, like always, confessed that she hated asking him to do things for her. He reassured her that not only was it his job but that he would do anything for her regardless. Which caused her to grow red and him to try to save himself by saying that he would do anything for her because she was sick. After that awkward exchange she said that she was going to bed and he wished her a good night.
"Fucking idiot, why'd you have to say that?" he mumbled to himself on his way back to his own room.
After that disastrous first day on the job, he went back the next day with a glint in his eyes. He was determined to not completely make a fool of himself in front of her. He kept it up for the rest of the week he was supposed to do his job. Then they discovered that Hinata was sick once again and that he would have to be with her for another week. He had no issues with it. Another week of double play and more time with the blushing vixen? Sign. Him. Up.
On the first day he could tell she was restless about something. She would constantly fidget her fingers together and avert her eyes every time he caught her looking at him. By the third day of the same treatment he was sick of it and decided to confront her.
"Hinata is there something wrong," he questioned softly.
"U-um no," she whispered.
"You sure?" he asked again, determined to get her to express her worries.
"Actually there is something wrong. I'm not actually sick!" she burst out.
"Oh?" he said curiously.
"I just wanted to spend more time with you," she mumbled while tightly squeezing her eyes closed.
"Oh!" he yelped excitedly.
"I'm sorry for deceiving you. I just really like you, Naruto-kun." she said hopefulness clearly in her tone.
"Look at me Hinata," he commanded.
"N-Naruto-" she squeaked as she was cut off by his lips landing on hers.
Before long she melted into his embrace. She moved her fingers into his hair and gripped the locks tightly. This turned him on immensely but even he realized sleeping with her would be a bad idea now.
"Hinata, I really like you too, but are you sure you want to be with me? Your father may disapprove given my social standing. " he panted.
"Of course Naruto-kun! You're amazing. You're so kind and you work hard. You inspire me to do the same. My dad may not like it but he isn't the one who has to love you, I do!" she gushed.
"This feels like a dream come true. I've wanted to be with you for so long," he confessed.
"I'm so glad Naruto-kun. Kiss me please," she begged.
Kiss her he did. They stayed in her room until the week was up. Kissing, hugging, and getting to know each other more. He obviously left at the end of the night so as to not raise any suspicions, but other than that they were attached at the hip. He felt incredibly lucky that he was able to find such a great partner at the job that had caused him grief beforehand. He felt that he could look forward to the future now that she was in his present.
