Hey people! This is my first Naruto fic and also my first one-shot. It's a prequel to my story warmth which is part one of a trilogy. So I hope you read those too.
This is a Hinata story, and I guess you can kinda say its naru/hina but she's basically the only character in this one shot since it's happening at one in the morning. I think I can relate since I first wrote it down at 1 in the morning.
I dedicate this one shot to all Naruto/Hinata fans! Just because I'm one of them. Teehee.XD.
Hinata's thoughts
"Talking"
Normal
Second thoughts
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Hinata.
It was one in the morning and Hinata lay wide awake in her bed. She couldn't fall asleep for some reason; it was almost as if she was waiting for something but what? She turned over so she would be on her right side. "Otousan will be mad if I look bad tomorrow." She informed the empty room. It was true, it was her birthday and even though her father thought she was too weak to be heiress she still was and she was better off if she didn't make him look bad.
No it wasn't her birthday she was waiting for. Nothing special ever happened on her birthday. And this year would be no different seeing as the one person she wanted to be there, wouldn't be there. She let out a sigh. Naruto-kun, I don't understand why you can't come. It was true. He had never done anything wrong to her or her family; he was one of the best out of the rookie nine. Heck in her eyes he was the best. But what would it matter? It's not like things could ever change between them.
Once Naruto had come back from his training with Jiraiya, and she had summoned enough courage, they had actually become good friends. They hung out together practically everyday, sometimes she would cook for him, or help him clean his apartment; she even made a habit of kissing him on the cheek goodbye. But that was it; she would never have enough courage to take it any farther.
What if I could? What if I got stronger? Braver? Like I promised myself I would? What if? She was once told that phrases like should have, would have, and what if were useless and shouldn't exist. Because you can't turn back time and change anything( should have and would have), and if you're not gonna do anything about it, you shouldn't even think about it.(what if)
Then I will do something about it. I'll get stronger and braver and someday I'll tell Naruto-kun how I feel. But what if he doesn't feel the same way? And shuns her and treats her like a freak and a psycho? That's true; I don't wanna lose Naruto-kun's friendship. But what if he feels the same way? Oh this isn't helping.
She shifted to her left side, to face the window. The moon was nearly full, and the sky was glittered stars. How pretty. She thought. Somehow this gave her an extra amount of courage, though she didn't know how. I'll get braver, and I'll tell him, even if there's a chance he doesn't feel the same way. I don't have to rush into it, I can take it slow.
As if that was what her mind was waiting for, she felt her eyelids get droopy, and she let out a yawn. She snuggled into her covers for warmth. Making her look like a little girl. She yawned again. What if? It isn't such a useless phrase. Then she let herself drift off to sleep.
Ok, thanks for reading my story! please review people, please I ain't too proud to beg. Gets down on knees, then gets back up and dusts jeans off Ok I am. But still tell me what you think
