Without even thinking, Naruto and Hinata's bodies leaned toward each other.
They eyes drifted shut, their hands still on another's shoulder. Their lips suddenly touched. Lost in the moment Naruto and Hinata just kissed; their minds just drifted away; their lips pressed closer and softer, their free hands put themselves around the other's shoulder so that both their arms were hugging on another. It lasted almost twelve seconds. Not knowing or thinking of anything else; not caring of right or wrong. They hugged and squeezed closer and tighter. Their lips pressed closer, further, warmer.
Eventually they let go.
Pulling away, Naruto and Hinata came back to reality. Their eyes slightly open. Their hearts racing. Both with lovely smiles looking at each other.
'Hinata…..' Naruto just whispered.
'Naruto……..' she whispered back.
Her eyes closed. Her face red. Her mind blacked out and she suddenly began falling backwards!
"Wha…… Hinata!..." Naruto yelled.
Coming out of his trance, he quickly ran after Hinata and caught her in his arms, just inches away from her crashing into the ground.
"Are you okay? Say something?" Naruto panicked. But Hinata didn't respond.
But then Naruto suddenly flashed back: at the hospital, Hinata fainting after running into Naruto upside-down, their faces so close to each other.
Naruto smiled brightly and laughed to himself. 'Of course' he whispered. It was by far not the first time he watched Hinata faint. And to finally realize, all those times she did was all because she was that much in love with Naruto, and he didn't even suspect it back then; it made that much funnier to Naruto. He grasped Hinata's unconscious body and kissed her forehead.

Just moments later, Hinata's eyes finally opened back up. She woke and found herself laying on her back, propped against the side of a tree. Through her blurry eyes she could see they were still on the cliff, overlooking the moonlight and the village, a few feet from the edge.
As she started coming back, she began feeling an arm that'd been holding her; her head resting on a warm shoulder.
"So you're finally awake huh?" she heard Naruto whisper.
Hinata woke up at last. Breathing and gasping out loud, she looked to see herself leaned up against Naruto, laying down under a tree on the cliff. Her head leaped up in shock and looked to him.
"Na….Naruto?" Hinata frantically said. "Wha……what happened?"
"You fainted." Naruto said. "You had me worried there for a moment Hinata."
And that's when Hinata finally remembered: just seconds ago they kissed; her and Naruto had finally hugged and held each other close and kissed in the moonlight; all just seconds ago.
"We…… we're….." she whispered frantically.
"Hinata, relax." Naruto whispered. He began brushing his hand thru her hair and scratching her head. "It's okay."
Hinata finally realized she was really with Naruto: in his arm under a tree in the moonlight. This wasn't a dream. It was real! She remembered everything.
Hinata immediately leaped and rolled over in excitement on top of him.
"Oh Naruto!" she said. Smiling brightly she wrapped her arms all around Naruto and squeezed him tight, pressing her face on his shoulder. "I can't believe you and I…….. I can't believe we're here."
Naruto giggled, and wrapped both his arms back around her. "I know" he said. "I can't either. I love you to."
Hinata suddenly lifted her head back up. Looking at Naruto, her cheeks slightly red, she reached out and kissed him. It caught Naruto off guard, but Hinata in a burst of love and excitement pressed her face and her lips into Naruto's. Her tongue slipped inside to massage his; Naruto's eyes shot wide open as she kissed him and squeezed him tighter, but sure enough, he gave in to. Pulling Hinata to him, his eyes closed slowly as the made out. Slowly and softly their lips pressed and their tongues wrapped around one another. They tried to relax as they made out. Both were still rather tired because of the late night. They couldn't even wonder if it was right or wrong, if they had rushed into it too quickly or not. All they cared out was that they were here, together, in love kissing and making out for the real first time.
They held each other kissing nonstop for almost five minutes. Finally worn out, they breathed heavily and out loud, propping their heads back on the other's shoulder.
"I love you to, Naruto" Hinata said. She had waited her whole life to tell Naruto that, and there they were.
Naruto lifted her head and they looked at each other.
"All this time", Hinata said "I thought I was just dreaming……... that when I woke up, I was gonna find out that kiss we had….. earlier was just a dream; and when I woke up in your arm, I thought that was a dream at first to you know…… can you believe I….."
Naruto giggled to her. "I know" he said. "I would've thought the same thing to, Hinata."
Hinata giggled as well.
"We don't have to worry though anymore" Naruto told her. "Now we can just relax, and savor the moment, because it's for real."
Hinata laid her head back down. "I know. We really can…….. oh Naruto." They were still hugging and holding each other.
Naruto began to realize again how late it was. He didn't have a watch but it was around one-fifteen already.
"We'll defiantly have to come here again Hinata" Naruto said. "You wanna come back tomorrow, say right at eleven in the morning?"
"Of course. I'll defiantly be here." Hinata whispered, resting her head more. "I don't wanna think about tha right now. I wanna enjoy this night."
"Me too" Naruto said smiling. He began looking up into the moon again.
The air was still warm and lovely. The breeze had finally calmed down. The clouds stayed in the sky, but now reflecting the moonlight onto earth.
Naruto was scratching Hinata's head, brushing through her hair again.
He suddenly realized Hinata was asleep; sleeping in his arms. Naruto was stunned and couldn't believe it. Hinata was so comfortable, so relaxed, so in love, she had actually drifted off to sleep with Naruto holding him, and still holding Naruto herself. Naruto giggled to himself again.
He too became drowsy. It had been an awfully long day for him, coming back from the mission, dealing with Sakura, working out his feelings of depression and eating ramen and walking with Hinata. Naruto without knowing it drifted off to sleep himself with Hinata.
The night eventually drifted on.
An hour or so after they fell asleep under the tree, Hinata finally woke up. Naruto woke briefly just in time to see Hinata looming over him and have Hinata tell him she had to leave for real. Naruto didn't have the energy to get up, but he knew what had to be done. The last thing she told him was she loves him and they'll see each other in the morning……. back at this same spot on the cliff, like they had planned.
Hinata left and Naruto laid down some more, letting Hinata get home before her family would notice something. Naruto eventually got up himself and had a long walk back to his home. But he walked and hummed out loud smiling brightly the entire way back. He was too tired and in love though. The minute he made it home he literally crashed into his bed and drifted back to sleep seconds later.
Both Naruto and Hinata slept a long time that night, thinking and dreaming about each other.
However Naruto was sleeping too long. The sun began to shine through his window and into his eyes.
"Arrrrgh" he mumbled.
His eyes opened a little bit as he began rolling around. "Man what a night" he whispered to himself smiling brightly.
Through his blurry sleepy eyes, he drifted towards the clock and began to look closer at it.
--10: 50 a.m.
"ten…… fif….ty…..a.m." he mumbled, then closed eyes.
But then they shot right back open.
"WHAT?!" Naruto suddenly shouted and woke wide awake!
