Hello my lovely darlings! I'm baaaaack!

Here's another chapter, just for you!

Hinata was a horrible singer.

Naruto fought back the laughter that threatened to overtake him as he discovered this, and just lay back on his bed to listen to her for a few minutes with a huge grin on his face. Of all of the things he had ever thought to find out about Hinata in their relationship, the fact that she couldn't carry a tune hadn't been one of them.

It was adorable, in an imperfectly perfect way.

Naruto sniggered as her voice cracked on another note and stretched his arms above his head. The sudden thought that she was happy enough to be singing made his grin even wider, because thinking about why she was so happy reminded him of the night before, and remembering that made him want to giggle like a little girl and do some singing himself.

Last night had been... amazing. And Hinata obviously hadn't hated it, because if she had why would she be singing in his shower?

Naruto had to cover his face with a pillow to smother the sound of his sudden laughter so that Hinata wouldn't hear and stop her singing or question his sanity—he was just so amazingly happy, happier than he had ever really thought about being—and the smell of her that had blended into the cloth over night assaulted him.

And that's when it really hit him.

Hyuuga Hinata was in his shower and was singing after last night, and now his sheets smelled like a delicious blend of the two of them and the pillow he was currently smothering himself with was dominated by her scent of... vanilla and honey and something a little... flowery.

It was delicious, she was delicious, and he wondered what she would do if he tried to join her in the shower. Probably stop singing and make that little squeaking noise she always made whenever she got embarrassed, she'd of course blush so red that she'd battle a tomato, and after last night Naruto now knew that when she blushed like that the color spread all the way down to her chest. And she'd probably stutter just the tiniest bit, even though it had been months since she had had any problems speaking other than last night.

Really, she was just too cute.

He heard he stop singing as the water shut off, and if he listened closely he could just hear the sounds of her humming. He sat up when the bathroom door opened, and his grin spread even wider as she stopped in shock once she saw that he was up and that ever predictable blush spread over her face and to the tips of her ears, painting her skin bright red all the way down to where she now desperately gripped the towel she wore.

Spots of her skin still had little specklings of water droplets on it that she had missed while drying off, and the thin towel just barely covered up what was necessary, something that embarrassed her greatly if the way she held it tightly to her chest as she simultaneously tried to stretch it down just a little bit further was telling. Her hair was still damp and the strands stuck together in wet clumps, pieces falling down her back and over her shoulders. He watched as her toes curled and uncurled into the wood of the floor—another one of her nervous habits—and he knew that if her hands hadn't already been occupied she would have been playing with her fingers.

"Hey." He said, holding back a laugh at the way her eyes refused to meet his. There was no reason to make her feel even more self-conscious.

"H-Hello." She murmured as her eyes flicked to him for barely a moment. "G-Good morning, Naruto-kun."

He bit his lip at the little bit of the stutter that had returned and sat up, unable to hold back his small chuckle at the way her eyes immediately went to his chest when the blanket slid down, his male pride swelling at the way she seemed almost glued to the sight before jerking her eyes away at the sound of his brief laughter.

He decided that it would probably be best for him to remain sitting and covered up, at least until she calmed down a bit. There was no reason to make her relapse and force her to faint.

"Are you okay? Does it still hurt?" He asked, and he supposed that asking her about it probably wasn't the best way to get her mind off of the things that embarrassed her, but he couldn't help but ask. Sure, she had told him it was fine and that it was normal, but he couldn't help but feel a little concern with the happy that threatened to overwhelm him.

Her blush toned down to a bit of a healthier and pinker color, and she sent him a small smile as she nodded. "Mhmm. I-I'm fine. Just a bit... sore." He nodded and grinned at her, and Hinata couldn't help but grin back. Everything was perfect, absolutely perfect, and she felt like nothing could ruin what she knew would be a wonderful day.

Except, maybe, her dropping her towel, but she was holding onto it so hard that she knew it would be impossible for that to happen.

"Do you want to go out and get some breakfast? We can go to that place that sells those cinnamon rolls you like." Naruto offered, and Hinata nodded happily, sending him a small smile.

They stared there like that for a few long moments before Hinata finally cleared her throat. "Umm... Naruto. I need to get d-dressed." She reminded him.

"Okay."

"I-I-I can't just get dressed in front of y-you!" She protested, her words ending on a loud squeak.

Naruto rolled his eyes and lay back, covering his eyes with his arm. "There. I'm not looking." He told her, and Hinata stared at him distrustfully for a moment before gathering all of her clothes up and hurrying to the bathroom.

"Cheater!" Naruto laughingly called after her before getting up to get dressed himself.

It was going to be a great day.

There we go! Hahaha! (and if you didn't guess it, they had sex)

I think that the day after would be kind of embarrassing depending on the person (I wouldn't know. I haven't even had my first kiss yet), and I think there would be a lot of embarrassed teasing cuteness with these two.

Notes about the last chapter:

~) No, the two councilors did not have that much power. They were just arrogant, and the boys chose to go to training, and Naruto let them (the parents were not happy with this or the councilors, however, because they put the idea into the boys' heads)/

~) In Kami's speech where he said "...I'm guessing that that's why yous were sent you to me, huh?", he was referencing how weak the boys were compared to him, and that they had been sent to him for training.

I'll be seeing you soon, my darlings!
