So, the dreams everyone was having a couple of chapters back made me want to write this, which is Hinata's dream, which I thought was just about the sweetest thing ever. So here we are! Tada!
It was… She felt so light. She was floating, drifting mindlessly, happy in this fuzzy little space that she never wanted to leave.
"You okay?" Naruto asks and she smiles, humming happily and coming down ever so slightly from that fuzzy head space.
"Yes. I'm fine. Just really happy." Hinata says, and those three words are truer than they have ever been.
They sit together, Naruto telling her stories about his day or something crazy that had happened during a mission or training, and Hinata couldn't be more content to just sit there with her head on his shoulder and listen and laugh and tell some stories of her own and just be so incredibly happy.
"You know your sister and cousin are watching us, right?" He asks, his voice a quiet and laughing whisper. She laughs, a bright and loud and happy thing, and snuggles just a bit closer into the spot she had found on his shoulder that seemed to have been made to fit her head.
"Yes." She giggles, "They've been there for a while. Let's let them get away with it for a bit longer."
He laughs and takes her hand in his and threads their fingers together, callouses and scars settling against each other comfortably.
"Then what? Should we do something to make them uncomfortable?" He asks with a deviously teasing tone, and she bites her lip to keep from laughing out loud because she should not be encouraging this behavior, though she thought that her shaking was giving her amusement away.
"No, Naruto," She says, trying to be stern, "We should not."
"Alright, alright," He laughs, "We won't freak them out." Hinata knew the heavily implied 'yet' was in there somewhere, but decided to ignore it for the moment. She heard the sounds of Neji and Hanabi whispering behind them in the bushes trying so hard to be undetected, but trying too hard for it to actually work, and she was with Naruto and was the happiest she'd ever been, and nothing could ruin this moment.
Nothing.
Yeay!
To Rohain Tahquil, the lovely woman who has been oh so very kind to me and has shared so much of herself with me, I wish your son a very happy birthday, just in case I'm not able to update before his birthday (the 20th, right?) So happy birthday wee little one!
And to my new darling Illuminated, whenever you shall get on to this chapter:
-I do not drink any kind of coffee, though if I did it most likely be sweet.
-Yes, after having the twins Hinata retired, though once everyone grew up she got back into it and started doing missions again.
-Thank you for the drink recommendations, though I don't think that they will be able to be looked in to seeing as I do not go out drinking and am content to stay in my room with my juice boxes.
And now to Hektols, and my darling this has happened another time before so I figured that I would address this: If someone in this story insults someone they care about, it is going to be in a caring and playful manner. I was in no way insinuation that Neji couldn't find a better wife than Tenten when she called him a looser, he was just called that because sometimes when you care about someone you insult them in a loving manner, because you don't mean it.
See you soon my darlings!
