Chapter 9: Lee x Hinata
Lee was a frequent visitor. Often he burned himself out training for a day, then he would be carried into Hinata's room by Neji, who expected her to take care of him. Hinata, being the healer that she was, could not say no. Besides, he was a good guinea pig.
When Lee woke, he usually thanked Hinata with a hug, an impossibly large smile, and a thumbs up. And really, that had been all she needed. She did not look for more – Naruto still loomed in her mind, a large crush she could not get over, despite how impossible she knew it was.
But more and more often, as Lee lay unconscious on her bed, she found herself thinking of Naruto less and less. She stared at Lee when he was there, and often thought of him when he wasn't. Naruto, though still a big tug on her heart, was slowly diminishing, to be replaced by the irrepressible Rock Lee.
Hinata smiled. That had a nice ring to it. Maybe the next time he was dumped unceremoniously in her room, she'd tell him that. And maybe he'd give her a kiss, call her cute, and go out to train again. Or, maybe she was just dreaming.
Well, it wasn't against the law to dream, and it was a nice fantasy.
