It was the day after Valentine's Day and Naruto and Hinata were sitting on the couch watching TV at Hinata's house. Since it was about noon, there was absolutely nothing on. All kiddie shows or stupid movies. Naruto was nearly asleep when Hinata broke the silence.
"N-Naruto"
"Yeah?"
"I was just wondering... I have a friend that works at the Ichiraku ramen bar and they gave me two free meal coupons. I thought since it is lunch time that we could maybe..."
"Sure! And Hinata?"
"Y-Yes?" Naruto leaned over closer to her and said
"You don't need to be nervous anymore. I love you and you love me, you don't need to keep any more secrets or be nervous"
"Really?"
"Of course not" Naruto put his hand under her chin and looked into her eyes "You are the single most precious thing to me right now and nothing can change that. You're sweet and kind but more people need to know that"
"But I'm a social disaster..." Hinata sounded disappointed in herself.
"But I'm going to help you. You may be shy and secluded now, but after a few days, you'll be a social butterfly" Hinata looked at the butterflies around her flower garden and thought
'To float free with others like a butterfly...' Hinata was an aspiring poet and sometimes would write poems or draw in her spare time.
"Okay, but lets start now. What's first?"
"Well let's put in the form of a question. Will you go on a date with me Friday night?"
"O-Of course, I mean I would love to!" Naruto kissed Hinata's cheek.
"But let's go eat first"
"Oh right!"
Naruto held Hinata's hand and led her out the door. They walked to the ramen bar and Hinata gave the coupons to the chef and he cooked up two good looking ramen bowls. The chef then brought the bowls and sat them on the counter. Naruto began to eat, but not like a maniac as he usually did. Naruto didn't want to embarrass Hinata by acting impolite.
"So Naruto, where would we go for our date Friday?"
"I was thinking you would decide"
"How about the hot spring out in the forest?"
"I've never been there before sounds interesting"
"So does that mean yes?"
"Of course!" Naruto sat his bowl on the counter and Hinata finished hers soon after.
"Hey Hinata? You want to go to the park?"
"Okay!" Hinata was excited that her time with Naruto was extended. They both walked to the park and walked along the path for a little while. They sat down on the ledge of the fountain.
"Hey Hinata, watch this" Hinata looked on as Naruto held out a finger. In a few seconds a bird landed on his finger and sat there. He let it sit for a little while and then it flew off.
"How did you do that!" exclaimed Hinata.
"Release chakra from your fingers and for some reason birds like it and will sit on your finger.You try!"
"Okay" Hinata held out her finger and started to release chakra. But... instead of birds, a few butterflies lighted on her finger. Hinata and Naruto both laughed and watched as the butterflies flew away. Naruto's watch beeped and Naruto said he had to go because he was supposed to meet Sasuke somewhere.
"Okay bye Naruto!" Naruto flipped home to meet Sasuke for CSI: Miami.
It was nine at night and Naruto was in the middle of taking a shower.
"Oh Damn! No soap, I forgot to get some. Hmm maybe Hinata has some I can borrow" Hinata was in the apartment next to Naruto's so Naruto walked over in a towel. He rang the doorbell and a toweled Hinata came out and blushed as red as a rose.
"Naruto?"
"Uhh, yeah... I don't have any soap and I was hoping I could borrow some" Hinata was about to walk to get some but she felt something inside of her just nagging her 'Don't you dare pass this up! You'll never have this chance again!' and something inside Naruto was saying 'Wow she's sexy!' (One track mind I guess...) Hinata suddenly built up confidence and decided to be a bit more playful.
"I don't have much soap left but I do have a pretty big Jacuzzi tub in here"
"Well it seems you've made some progress" said Naruto as Hinata pulled him through the door. Naruto's towel got stuck in the door as he went in and it turned out... Hinata didn't have any soap either.
