It was Hinata's seventeenth birthday: December 27th. Naruto ran around in circles in the Uchiha mansion, where he and Sakura were coming to make sure Sasuke actually showed up at the party.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke questioned annoyed as he walked over to the blonde.

"He's trying to figure out how he's going to ask Hinata-chan out," Sakura answered.

"Aa."

"Uh…no that's too lame…no…maybe…not…nah…I need your help Sasuke-teme!" Naruto proclaimed grabbing his friend's shoulders and shaking them.

Sasuke pushed the hyper ninja away. "My help?" he questioned.

Naruto nodded.

"How can I help in this situation?" Sasuke asked.

"You know the most about girls," Naruto stated.

"I do?" Sasuke asked in confusion.

Sakura giggled.

"Well yeah, you have all those fan girls," Naruto pointed out.

"That's different, I haven't said two words to most of them," Sasuke stated dryly.

"You should ask Lee-san, he probably knows a bit," Sakura put herself into the conversation.

Naruto looked at her. "Fuzzy Eyebrows?" he blinked. "You're right, thanks Sakura-chan!" He ran out of the premises screaming "Fuzzy Eyebrows!" He ran straight into Lee, both of them falling to the ground.

"Ow," Naruto mumbled as both of them stood back up. He looked at Lee. "Fuzzy Eyebrows, just the man I was looking for!"

"What is it, Naruto-kun?" Lee questioned.

"How can I ask out Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked with big eyes.

Lee smiled. "So, you finally are going to ask her out, it's about time," he stated.

"So…how?" Naruto repeated.

Lee thought for a moment. "I have no idea," he responded.

Naruto fell over and hopped back up. "What do you mean you have no idea?" he bellowed.

"I always go 'Will you be my girlfriend?' but I'm always turned down. They don't know what they're missing," Lee stated sighing.

"That could work," Naruto started.

"No! It needs to be romantic, it's her seventeenth birthday, you bakas," Sakura butted in.

Naruto blinked. "Romantic?"

"A girl wants the guy of her dreams to take hold of her tightly and kiss her, and tell her his innermost feelings that she's been dying to hear," Sakura answered with passion, her emerald eyes fluttering.

"You want me to kiss her? I've never kissed anybody before," Naruto stated.

Lee raised an eyebrow. "I thought that…"

"That was an accident and doesn't count!" Sasuke and Naruto defended as they shuddered.

Sakura placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "You don't need to know how to kiss, she won't either. You just let your feelings take the lead," she stated.

"Wow, that's deep Sakura-chan," Naruto commented.

"Thank you," Sakura said smiling.

"So, what would you do if I did that to you, Sakura-san?" Lee questioned, his teeth shining.

"Uh…Lee-san we have talked about this," Sakura claimed.

Lee sighed. "I know, we're just friends. But you can't be alone forever, Sakura-san," Lee stated.

"What if she says no and I'm left in the garbage?" Naruto asked looking at the ground.

"Something tells me she'll say yes," Sakura answered smiling.

Naruto wiped his running nose with his sleeve. "You think so?" he questioned hopefully.

"Of course she will," Lee answered giving Naruto a toothy smile.

Naruto was about to grin when his face fell. "Oh, no! How could I have forgotten?" he shouted as he turned to run.

"Naruto, where are you going?" Sakura questioned after him.

"I forgot to get Hinata-chan her present, I still need to pick it up!" Naruto shouted back, running into town.

Sakura sighed. "That baka," she muttered. "He'll never learn."

Sakura rang the doorbell, Naruto, Sasuke, Lee, Ino, Shikamaru, TenTen, Kiba, Shino, and Chouji behind her, most holding party poppers. The door opened and they let the poppers loose. The strands fell all over Neji?

"Happy…you're not Hinata-chan," Naruto stated.

"No frickin' duh, baka," Neji said dryly, taking out the strands in his hair.

"N-Neji-nii-san, who's at the door?" came a timid voice.

Naruto pushed Neji out of the way and walked inside to face Hinata. "Happy Birthday, Hinata-chan," he shouted.

The rest walked into the Hyuuga mansion. TenTen giggled and pulled out a pink strand from Neji's hair as she walked passed him. The Hyuuga crossed his arms over his chest and walked over to the rest.

Naruto smiled and looked at Hinata, gulping. 'Don't get nervous.'

"Happy Birthday Hinata," Ino said smiling.

Sakura smiled as well. "So are you excited to see what you got?"

Hinata smiled, nodding. "You guys d-didn't have to."

"We wanted to," TenTen informed. "It's no big deal."

"Time for cake!" Chouji shouted running into the kitchen.

Shikamaru shook his head. "Chouji," he mumbled under his breath.

They ate the food that the girls prepared and had the cake. After that Naruto looked at Hinata and grabbed her hand pulling her with him. "Come on Hinata-chan, I got something to show you!" he claimed excited.

Hinata smiled and looked at him. "O-okay."

Neji watched then exit. He turned to Sasuke and Sakura. "What was that about?" he asked quirking an eyebrow.

Sakura smiled, giggling. "It's so cute."

Lee nodded. "Naruto-kun's got guts."

"What is that loser doing with my cousin?" Neji asked giving them a 'better tell me before you regret it' glare.

"Ah relax Neji," TenTen suggested smiling at him. "Just let Naruto do his thing."

"His thing?" Neji questioned, not liking how that sounded.

Ino looked at Sakura. "Who would have thought Naruto would go this far…it's shocking but really adorable."

Sakura nodded smiling. "He's finally grown up a little. Hinata-chan is going to be so happy," the pink haired kunoichi remarked.

Neji crossed his arms over his chest once again, what was Naruto planning?

"Should we peak?" TenTen asked smirking with her eyes closed.

Ino giggled. "I like the way you think TenTen."

Sasuke looked at them from the corner of his eyes. "Do you think Naruto would like you guys spying?"

Shikamaru mumbled, "girls always are melding their noses in someone else's business."

Ino bopped her old teammate on the back of his head. "Keep your mouth shut."

Sakura looked at TenTen then Neji. "You know you want to…its Naruto after all."

Neji cursed. "Whatever."

Kiba snickered. "I want to see him mess up."

Naruto sat Hinata down by a tree. He grinned and pulled out a guitar from behind the tree. He cleared his throat and played a note.

Hinata's eyes widened. What was her crush doing? She blushed it was cute.

"You're a stuttering little buttercup, that's what you are," Naruto sang as he played more soft strings.

Hinata turned red.

"You're so sweet and cute," he kept singing, "and when you smile, I feel my world would forever light up and shine."

The others' eyes were wide and most had sweatdrops forming on their heads.

"Dobe."

"Loser."

"Naruto-kun has finally gone off the deep end."

Naruto started to play hard core. "So, will you be my giiirrllllll!" he finished.

Everyone, except Hinata, placed their hands over their ears.

Hinata wiggled in her seat as she fumbled with her fingers. "W-What, Naruto-kun?" she questioned, hoping she hadn't heard wrong.

Naruto blinked. "Do you need me to repeat the song?" he asked.

"No!" screamed the eavesdroppers. They then cleared their throats.

"Don't mind us," Lee stated.

"C-Can you r-repeat the first part?" Hinata asked timidly.

Naruto blushed. "I asked if you'd be…my girlfriend," Hinata turned purple at hearing this. "You don't have to say yes." Naruto sounded heartbroken and he frowned.

"I…I…." Hinata was at a loss for words.

Naruto turned away. "It's okay, Hinata-chan, I'll be going now," he stated his bangs overshadowing his eyes.

Hinata stood up. "No, Naruto-kun, my answer…it's yes! I'd be honored to be called your girlfriend!" she shouted running over to him.

Naruto turned back around grinning. "Really?"

Hinata blushed and nodded.

"Excuse me?" Neji questioned.

TenTen rested her head on his shoulder. "It's so cute."

Neji looked at her.

"Yeah! I have a girlfriend!" Naruto exclaimed picking Hinata up and spinning her in a circle. Hinata turned as red as a tomato.

Ino covered her mouth. "Though he's annoying, at least he's sweet, unlike other guys I know," she stated eyeing a certain Nara.

"What are you implying?" Shikamaru questioned.

"Nothing," Ino responded crossing her arms.

Naruto hummed happily and to Hinata it was her best birthday, by far.

Here's Hinata's birthday for you! Yea, the fluff! See you next time for New Year's!
