This was it. Hinata's special moment. He stood outside waiting for Takumi, the guy he had a secret crush on. They were about to climb a mountain together, Hinata had romantical intentions, but he would see how things went.

It was a hot day and actually a little too hot for climbing a mountain. But this was the best chance he had. He wore casual clothes, which he thought made him look kind of cute. Thinking about the idea he had to blush, but he did all he could to hide that. Then the moment came! Takumi came around the corner and he saw Hinata standing there, looking the cutest he could, ready for a journey he had always dreamed of.

"Hey Hinata, I see you're wearing normal clothes today?" He said.

"Hey lord Takumi! I thought it would be too hot for my armor... but you're just in time!" He said smiling.

"Cool!"

Hinata and Takumi started climbing the mountain. They didn't talk a lot, only things like: "Watch out, there is a rock that sticks out." Then Hinata tried to break the silence.

"Nice weather, huh?"

"Yeah," Takumi answered "just a little too hot for climbing a mountain..."

"It tests our courage! So it's only good that it's a little too hot!"

"Yeah I suppose so..."

...Silence came again... but this time it was Takumi who broke it: "I like to see you wearing casual clothes, it's something different."

"Thanks lord Takumi! Now you can see what my normal style is, do you like it?" Hinata realized that this question could make things awkward. "I mean would you wear this too?"

"No... but I do like it on you." Takumi said while Hinata tried to hide his red face. Takumi looked at the top of the mountain. "This is quite a long trip, I wonder if we'll make it for dinner."

"Wow, thanks lord Takumi! I think we'll have enough time, we even have enough time to rest, I brought some snacks!"

"Cool! But you don't need to say 'lord' now. When it's just the two of us, you don't have to behave so formal."

Hinata thought: This happened in my dream as well! Things are going the way I wanted! "Sure, I'll call you just Takumi then, Takumi!" He raised his eyebrow as he said that, and Takumi laughed.

They looked at eachother, this time Hinata took the time to observe Takumi's face: He had cute, silver looking hair that shined when it was exposed to sunshine. Then he had those beautiful eyes! The brown colour in the centre of his eyes looked so deep, so... romantic... But best of all his face, was when he was smiling, a beautiful sight. Sometimes it was a rare thing and it could be very difficult to achieve, but that smile is one of the most beautiful things you'll ever see! That smile, that was on Takumi's face at this very moment.

"What is it you're looking at Hinata?" He suddenly asked.

Hinata had been staring at him for maybe a bit too long. "Oh, your smile. It's nice when you smile..." Then he realized that he said that. He didn't keep it for himself, he accidentally told him. He worried that he would be hearing something that he didn't want to hear...

"Oh, Thanks, let's continue now, all right?"

That was all, he didn't get awkward, he didn't get mad! He liked it, he thanked me for it! Hinata thought. "Yeah sure thing!"

They continued walking towards the summit. Then Takumi said: "Can we take a break, I'm getting sweaty..."

"Yeah sure, wanna drink something Takumi?" This also happened in Hinata's dreams! Takumi got sweaty, and that was the point where Oboro waked him up! He was super excited for what was about to happen.

"Yeah, cool! What do you have to offer?"

Hinata grinned. "Water, soda, Cold Tea?"

"I'd like Ice cold Tea!"

"Sure, here 'ya go!" He threw a bottle of Ice Tea.

Takumi sat down. Hinata did the same, close next to him. "Beatiful view!" Hinata said. "But there is something more beautiful with me right now..." He wispered so that Takumi couldn't hear it.

"I know! I'm glad we did this together, it's a good training and it's nice to have some time together with you."

"Haha, yeah!" Hinata said and he drunk some Ice Tea. "I like spending time with you as well!"

"..." Silence again. Hinata looked at the view but he felt that Takumi was looking at him.

"You're getting a little beard!" Takumi then said.

"What? Really? I don't want one...! Or does it look good on me?"

"... I don't know, you should ask Oboro, she is the style expert after all."

"Yeah, I will. I didn't even notice, haha!" Hinata laughed.

"It's not even that big yet, I think you should shave it off."

"That would look better on me?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah, I think so."

Takumi drunk the last bit of his Ice Tea, Hinata did the same after seeing Takumi do so. "We should get going then." He said.

So they did. Hinata began thinking: Wow, so much has happened today! He normally almost never compliments me! He told me he likes my casual look, he prefered me without beard, he liked to spend time together! Maybe he is interested in me after all! I'll just ask: "Hey Takumi... can I ask you something?"

"Anything Hinata!"

"Have you ever felt, you know, love...?"

"... Where is this coming from?"

"J-just asking... I mean... I wonder if you know what it feels like?"

"Hmm... I don't think I can help you with things like that... Sorry."

"I-it's all right..." Hinata said. He tought: Well, that didn't go as I wanted...

"I never really had to oppertunity to do anything that has to do with love... I don't really mind anyway, it would have been a distraction in my training."

"Yeah I guess so, but would it hold you back now?"

"We're in war, but I guess I wouldn't mind if I got married..."

"Yeah, me neither!" Hinata said.

Again silence fell. Then Hinata saw some pinecones laying on the road. He grabbed one. "Look Takumi! There are pinecones all over the road here!" He showed the pinecone he just picked up.

"Hey indeed there are! Haha" He bended to grab a pinecone.

Hinata threw one off the mountain. "Haha! See how deep it falls!"

Takumi came stand next to him and he threw his pinecone from the mountain as well. Then Hinata picked up another one and friendly threw it at Takumi.

"Ehh! You hit me!" He said rubbing the spot where the pinecone hit him.

"I know, Sorry!" He grabbed another one and threw it again at Takumi's belly.

"Ehh! You're doing this one purpose!" He grabbed one too and threw it at Hinata.

They started throwing pinecones at eachother. "Haha DODGED!" Takumi said.

Hinata ran into the woods to grab more pinecones and came back with more than 5. "Let's get wild!" He said and started throwing the pinecones at Takumi.

"Auch! Auw! Oww! No stop! Stop it, haha!"

Hinata stopped and they both laughed a lot. Then Takumi lost his balance and fell on the ground. He grabbed one last pinecone and threw it at Hinata's leg so that he would trip. It succeeded and Hinata fell next to Takumi, part on top of him.

"..." They both blushed akwardly.

"Haha," Takumi said. He grabbed Hinata's head and rubbed his head with his knuckle.

Takumi stopped but Hinata kept in that position for as long as he could. It was nice, laying so close to Takumi. Part on his chest. Suddenly he hugged Takumi and Takumi wasn't awkward with it and hugged him back.

"You're a good retainer... You're skilled and you got an awesome personatlity!"

"Haha! You're a good liege... I would sacrifise my life for you!"

"Oh yeah, you're very brave and loyal as well! Let's just hope you'll never have to sacrifice yourself! It would really hurt me if you got hurt!"

Hinata looked at Takumi's face and could barely resist giving him a cheek kiss, it would make things complicated. He looked at the sky and at the clouds. He saw a shape in one of the clouds, the shape of a dove... He looked back at Takumi. Then he noticed: "Takumi fell asleep! Haha"

He snuggled in and relaxed, laying on the half of Takumi's chest... It was dreamy... He doze off as well...
