A/N Ten-ten is the same age as Hinata which is 17.
3rd P.O.V
"WE'RE HEREEEE! COME ON GUYS WAKE UP!" Naruto yelled, excited that they finally reached their destination. There were groans, moans of complaint and a kick to Naruto's seat courtesy of Sasuke.
"Oi! No kicking the driver!" Naruto complained.
"Tch. You had it coming with your loud mouth," Sasuke said.
The group exited the car and stretched their almost numb limbs and took in the view of their location. They stood in front of a mansion that had structured in such a way that it was a mash up of traditional and modern, well as far as their eyes could see in the light of the setting sun.
"This place is amazing," Ten-ten complimented. Hinata nodded in agreement. They followed Naruto inside and leaving the group even more impressed with the interior design. Entering the house, the teens removed their shoes by the main entrance and had gladly accepted the inside shoes offered to them by the care-takers that had been tasked with looking after the house. As it would seem, the mash up included the interior as well. Most of the doors inside were shoji and the decorations classic traditional designs as well.
Naruto ushered the group into a den (which was perfectly modern). There were brown couches that lay in a semi-circle with a glass table in the middle, a huge HD television was planted on the wall, lining on side of the room was a bookshelf and on the other end were large windows with a patio outside.
"You've really outdone yourself dobe," Sasuke remarked. Naruto replied with a 'believe it' as the two friends watched the girls explore their surroundings. Ten-ten dragged Hinata out onto the patio and squealed.
"I tell you Hina," Ten-ten exclaimed, "This place totally resembles my dream house. I think I'm in heaven"
"It's truly amazing," Hinata agreed.
As the girls continued to admire their surroundings, Naruto and Sasuke settled themselves on the couches. Naruto grabbed the TV remote and started surfing the channels. When Hinata and Ten-ten joined them, refreshments were already on the table. Ten-ten poured herself a glass of water, while Hinata took a pear.
"Thanks for inviting us here Naruto," Ten-ten said, "this place is amazing"
"It's nothing. I should actually be thanking you guys for being here. It's nice to have friends around. For now just freshen up. Tomorrow we can all go to the beach," Naruto replied
"That sounds fun," Hinata said.
"Well," Sasuke interrupted, "I'm going to shower. Where's my room, dobe?"
"That's right," Naruto responded, "since its six now; we could freshen up and meet back here at eight for a movie marathon. Everyone agree?"
They all agreed to Naruto's suggestion and had been shown to their separate rooms. Unlike the rest of the rooms in the house, the bedrooms had normal doors. However, Naruto stayed back a bit and knocked on Ten-ten's door. Ten-ten opened it, surprised to see Naruto and let him in. Naruto sat down on a chair across from Ten-ten who sat on the bed.
"What's up Naruto?" Ten-ten asked the blonde.
"Has Hinata mentioned anything to you about Sasuke?" Naruto questioned.
"As in?"
"Well anything"
"Huh. She doesn't say much. Just that they hang out a few times. Why are you asking?"
"Well..." Naruto muttered.
"Wait, do you have a thing for Hinata and are you jealous about them hanging together?" the brunette demanded.
"It's nothing like that, believe me Ten-ten. It's Sasuke. I think he likes her"
"And where's that deduction coming from?"
"Well, Sasuke pretty much enjoys her company and acts more relaxed around her. He even talks about her every once in a while. And honestly, I've never seen Sasuke so happy"
"What's your point Naruto?"
"Do you think Hinata feels the same way about him?"
Ten-ten sighed and shook her head. Beginning to remove the ribbons that secured her buns, she replied,
"Naruto, assuming Hinata even liked Sasuke back, they can never be together. I mean, I agree there is that possibility because Hina's been different too, but our current society doesn't exactly permit such a relationship"
"I know," Naruto sighed in defeat.
"You wanted to pair em up?" Ten-ten asked softly. Naruto nodded glumly.
"I wouldn't mind that too. I mean, Sasuke's gorgeous"
"Yeah, yea... Hey he's not the only gorgeous guy around. I'm here too!"
Ten-ten giggled and approached Naruto and tapped Naruto's shoulder.
"Aw, is the wittle baby jealous," Ten-ten teased, moving to poke his reddening cheeks.
Naruto huffed childishly, trying to ignore the fact that a girl was within inches of him. Ten-ten giggled as she raked her fingers through her now flowing hair. Naruto stared, mesmerized by the beauty in front of him. His hand moved on its own towards her face, reaching for a lock of Ten-ten's hair and placing it behind her ear. Ten-ten, having stopped laughing, froze at Naruto's actions. Her cheeks were now dusted with pink, and her tummy felt funny as Naruto rested his hand on her right cheek. Naruto's fingers caressed Ten-ten's cheek, slowly leaning. And crazy enough, Ten-ten seemed to be leaning in as well.
Ten-ten's phone ringed, bringing the teens back to reality. Rushing to her phone, Ten-ten checked the caller id. Turning to Naruto she said, "Uh, it's my mom. I have to take this. See you at 8?"
"Yeah," Naruto said softly. Ten-ten smiled and answered the phone as Naruto left the room.
Minutes later, the call ended and Ten-ten was rather confused. What just happened? She thought, the question constantly repeating itself.
Elsewhere, a blonde teenager stood in his shower. Wondering about his earlier actions towards a certain brunette. He had never felt so confused. It seemed as though his worries about his best-friend will now be upon him as well. What was he going to do?
