I know I said I'd be working mostly on requests, but since they were all for pairings I've done already, I decided this particular one needed a little love. Especially since I listed it in pairings I write, but had yet to write anything for it. It's short, sweet, and pretty much to the point. Enjoy!
I do not own Naruto.
Tapestry
---Eight: Speechless---
They ended up sitting on a bench near the edge of Konoha (the village's most infamous bench, according to Sakura, but neither of them knew that). Though one of them was normally extremely talkative, both of them were currently staring at the ground, unable to think of anything to say.
"Are you hungry?" Naruto asked, brightening at the idea and turning to see his companion's reaction.
Hinata looked at the expression on his face and hesitated for a moment. Since he was asking, that meant he was probably hungry. She didn't want to deny his right to food, but she really didn't want to lie to him either. She blushed and shook her head.
"Oh. Okay." Naruto felt bad about being unable to keep the disappointment out of his voice. This would surely be easier if he could have taken Hinata to Ichiraku… but then, none of the other guys seemed to have an easy time with their girlfriends. Except possibly Neji. Possibly.
Not that Hinata was officially Naruto's girlfriend, not yet. This was only their first date, and it wasn't going very well so far.
"Maybe we could…" Naruto began as he turned towards Hinata. She turned towards him at the same time, only faster, and their faces collided.
Well, mostly their lips did.
Both of them leaned into the accidental kiss until they realized what they were doing. Hinata pulled back, her cheeks now an even brighter red than before. Naruto's blue eyes were wide, and he appeared to be speechless.
Well, almost speechless.
"Dattebayo…"

I just have this image in my head of if Naruto and Hinata ever kissed, that's what would happen. It amuses me, and hopefully you found it funny too. Thanks for reading, happy Halloween, and please review!
