"Alright boys, time to go to sleep" spoke Hinata with her head poking out her sons bedroom door.
"alright mom, g'night"
"okay aunt Hinata"
"night"
"good night"
Hinata smiled at the four 10 year old boys, before turning off the light.
Once her footsteps were no longer heard, Boruto shifted his position in his sleeping bag so he was facing Danki, and grinned "Soooo.. hows it feel, finally your 'first' sleepover".
Denki smiled,"its been great, the video games, the snacks, movies, it was amazing", which only made Boruto grinn even wider if that was possible.
"meh wasnt too bad" Inojin said with his usually irritating smile, which later was the reason for the pillow that was thrown to his face.
"i agree, it wasnt as troublesome as i thought, it was- pretty fun" mummbled Shikadai before covering his face with his sleeping bag blanket and was the first to fall asleep.
"yup! i wish Mitsuki ,Metal and Iwabae could of made it though"
They contined to talk and secretly played one round of cards untill one by one Boruto, Danki, and Inojin yawned before it was finally decided that it really was time to go to sleep.
Only 30 minutes later Inojin got up, 'bathroom'. He got out of his sleeping bag, tiptoed to the door and closed it as queitly as possible.
He passed Himawari's room, making his way back to Borutos room, when he heard the movment of sheets. He took a few steps back so he was infront of Himawari's room, and pressed his ear against it
'..this is creepy, what am i doing' he thought and moved away from the door to get back to where he was going in the first place till he heard it again, again but with wimpers as well.
He went back over to her door, but this time he knocked, "uhh.. Himawari, are you awake" he whispered, he said it so lightly, that he was really suprised when he heard "big brother?"
"not really, more like big brother's friend"
there was a pause..
"can i come in Himawari"
"is it.. brother Inojin?"
"bingo"
he heard a giggle "alright"
He entered her room and left the door open, just enough so there was a crack of the hall light showing, he didnt want to give her the wrong impression.
He then walked over to her bed, "you good" he asked, she replyed with a nod and a sniff, "trouble sleeping?" he asked again
"just a little" her voice was soft so soft, and so quiet
"could you repeat that please"
she opened her mouth but suddenly her bottom lip started to tremble and she quicky covered it with her hand.
soon her whole body began to lightly tremble
"Himawari? are you-" but he cut himself of when she turned her face the opposite way covering it with her teddy
"Himawari, do you want me to call your mom"
she shook her head no
"i can wake up Boruto if you like"
hearing her brothers name gave her some reaction, she stopped crying and started to whimper a little.
"did Boruto say or do something to you, cause if he did, we still have some left over orange juice id gladly spill over him" he said with the effort of calming the little girl down but it didnt work.
he patted her head gently "whats wrong?"
"big brother he..he" she stopped mid way tears spilling out again
"he what?"
"he, he doesnt spend time with me anymore"
"what do you mean, he's always thinking about you, he 'loves spening time with you' "
"yeah, but.."she started trembling again. Inojin sat next to her on her bed and rubbed her back in encouragment.
"he.. he spends time with you and, and brother shikadai and has so many friends he always plays with you guys, and comes home late. *sniff* Soon he'll go on missions and not come home for days and- and he'll end up like daddy" her last words came out as high pitched whispers.
Inojin didn't push it any further, he pulled her head under his chin and wrapped one warm around her rubbing her arm soothingly while he used his other hand to pat her head.
"it selfish, hic* but hic*but.. he used to come home and say the food was great and that it was because i helped out that it was so yummy, and-and then we'd brush our teeth together, he'll ask about my day and i'd ask about his, and he'd read me a bedtime story"
"im sure your mom would gladly brush her teeth with you and read you a book" he siad
"she does!, but its not the same!"
there was another pause between them..
"he comes home late and gets so tired he doesnt even want to play 'if i went to the moon' we always play that game, every night. If i say 'pretty please' he'll play but only beacuse he'll feel like he has too or because mommy will tell him too."
"whats 'i went to the moon?.. can i play?"
Himawari seemed to like the idea and rubbed her tears away, "first, we need to lay down so where facing eachother"
just like she said they both lied down facing eachother with a decent amount of space in between, " now we each take turns saying things we'd take to the moon, it can be anything. Ramen, a bunny, video games, anything. I'll start by saying 'if i went to the moon i'd take a ..teddy' then you'll say 'if i went to the moon ill take a teddy and.. a umm.., a sandwhich' and we play the rest of the rest of the game like this. Oh, and we need to close our eyes and imagine it like its real"
"okay, why dont you start"
she nooded her head, 'if i went to the moon, i'd take.. a pony"
Inojin chuckled "okay if i went to the moon id take a pony and.. my super beast scroll so we can draw there"
Himawari smiled "if i went to the moon i'd take a pony, your super beast scroll, and a picnic"
"if i went to the moon i'd take a pony, my super beast scroll, a picnic, and a flash light"
"big brother would always take one as well, if i went to the moon i'd take a pony, your super beast scroll, a picnic, a flash light and a *yawn* a picture of mommy, daddy, big brother and me "
Inojin could tell it wasnt long untill she was going to fall asleep, "if i went to the moon i'd take a pony, my super beast scroll, a picnic, a flash light and a picture of.. hmm, Himawari would i be taking a picture of my family or your family?"
she didnt reply
"Himawari?"
when she still sisnt reply he opened his eys, she was asllep. He got up and tucked her in, walked towards the door and looked back, "good nigh Himawari"
Okay now he was really tired, he needed to get back to his sleeping bag. But, what he didnt notice was that Hinata was watching him, she was about to go to bed but noticed Himawari's door cracked open, she was going to close it before she saw Inojin inide, she watched untill Inojin started making his way towards the door, she brisk walked behind her bedroom door.
Once Inojin was in Boruto's room she went inside and checked on Himawari, the little flower was asleep cuddled with her teddy bear and a pinkish tint on her cheeks 'she's probably too warm, i should turn down the heating, or maybe- no shes still so little hardly 8 years old.. but then again i was only, hmm' she pressed a kiss on her forehead and went to her room.
