Hinata came out from the kitchen. Shikamaru nd Sai helped with the stuff. Toneri just coming in and put the last box.

"Nothing left outside... We can take a break-" the bell rang before he finshed his words.

"Hey, we're coming to help!" Sakura and Ino were coming.

Hinata and Toneri just moved in their new house. Their friends coming to help with all the things. Since the hardwork part was already done, they guys part

was over.

"C'mon, Toneri. let's find" something to eat-" Sai prepared to go out.

"I guess I'll stay... I can't let the woman do the work alone-""It's fine, Toneri. Go have fun, we're going to finish this soon... don't worry." Hinata gave him the jacket.

"give a call if there's problem right away, ok?" He took the jacket and wore it. "Thanks, Sakura, Ino- I'll leave her to you. See you later-"

Then the guys left."...then~" Ino started. "How was it, your first night together?" asked her passionately.

"eh? nothing-... We're both tired yesterday-so..." Hinata looked a bit embrassed.

"So, your real first night will be tonight?" Sakura followed up. she was excited as well. "Then, let's do preparation on the bedroom first!"

"I think... that won't be necessary-" Hinata looked doubtful. "i'll do the bedroom,"

"ah... I see-" said Ino. Both Ino and Sakura was a bit down with her decision.

"Allright, let's finish this quickly so those guys don't hang around too far."

.

.

.

Toneri couldn't sit quietly. His mind was all about the house and Hinata.

"Hey, c'mon dude... they will be fine. it's not like Sakura and Ino will abduct her or what-" Shikamaru looked annoyed with his attitude.

"I'm sorry..."

"no, don't apologize-"

"seems you got nothing to do... want to come with me? I had a mission right after this-" Sai tried to invite him.

"Mission...? I never had one... and is that okay?"

"Why don't you just watch? it will be a great experience-" Shikamaru added.

"...Allright-count me in" said Toneri doubtfully.

.

.

.

The sun almost set, it's shone through the window with a pretty warming orange light.

"yosh, we're almost done-...ng? Hinata... this cups... where should I put them?" asked Sakura.

"wait, i'll take it-" Hinata was done washing some plate and dried her hands before.

She took the cup from Sakura and put it on the bathroom.

Then, Hinata looked around and everything seems done to her.

"anything else we can help?" asked Ino.

"Thank you Sakura, Ino-... ah, stay till dinner here, as a gratitude from me-" said Hinata.

"hmm let's call the guys before-" Ino took out her phone and made a call right away. after some little chat, she put her phone down. "they're on the way..."

"I'll make some drink, then-" Hinata immediately went to the kitchen."It's okay, Hinata. now, we just need to talk between woman-" Sakura brought her back to the living room. She looked so excited.

.

.

.

"i'm home..." Toneri stepped inside and pull off his shoes."are they still here?" asked Sai while he was looking inside.

"Ino-san called you, didn't she? well maybe they just-"

'EEHH!?' suddenly Hinata's voice heard all around. Toneri immediately went inside.

"Hinata?"

"o-...oh-You're back-" Hinata's face very red and she looked panic. Toneri immediately measured her body heat.

"hm... are you catch a cold?" asked him, looked so worried.

"eh? no-... it's just... nothing-" Hinata turned her face away.

Sakura and Ino giggled. They suddenly stood and join Sai at the front door.

"Then... you can treat us another time, we... kinda busy today-so, Have a nice day!" Ino pushed Sai even he looked confused. all of them went out and

closed the door. but, Sakura opened it so sudden one more time.

"Hinata, good luck!" said her and she closed the door, left Toneri and Hinata alone.

"...what's that? is she asked you to fight me?" Toneri looked really confused and sat over Hinata's place.

"mmm... I-... I don't know-hm? Where did you get those bruises?" Hinata spotted his wrist got bruised.

"huh? really?" He checked his wrist right away."ah... maybe that time-"

"that... time?"

"I joined Sai-san's mission... we got to battle a bit-"

"you're going to mission?" She looked surprised."i'm just helping... i'm not going to join anything serious-I promise-"

"...mm-" Hinata went to the kitchen and took a first aid box. She back to the living room and started to treat his bruises. "I don't know, but I have no objection if you want to go to the battlefield, you

know-"

"...huh? what are you saying... I'm not going to battle any-"

"then, it's up to you. What I want to say is the past is already past, isn't it?" Hinata cut the bandage and finished the treatment. "I hope it can help,

though-" she smiled.

Toneri was quite impressed by her words. He looked his wrist in bandage and tried to move his hand.

"Thanks-..."

"mm-... no problem-" Hinata was going to take the first aid box back, but Toneri was faster.

"good job with the home decor, everything looks good-" He put the box on the shelves where Hinata took it. Then, he went to the bedroom to look around.

"Ah, I worked on the bedroom myself... Sorry if it's a bit too plain for you-" Hinata suddenly made an excuse.

"mm? it's fine, anyway-... it just enough" he sat on the bed while keep looking around the room. "I personally like it, actually-"

"...thank you-" Hinata looked relieved. but, she also felt her heart beating so fast.

"...I don't really know, since that castle the only kind of home i've ever stay until a year ago." He finally finished with the bedroom and came back to the

living room and sat beside her.

"oh-..."

"Until I find you-" He took the tip of her hair and kissed it.

"p-please don't play with my hair-""I love you, Hinata-" He suddenly kissed her lightly. "-Every part of you" said him while pushed her down.
But Suddenly the door bell was ringing and he stopped.

"...-who..." He looked annoyed and went to the front door. it was Hinata's dad, Hiashi Hyuuga.

.

.

.

"I thought you were still busy tidying up the house, I brought you dinner-" He kept talking while Hinata put the karaage on the big plate.

After Hiashi came, suddenly it became a dinner with father-in-law.

"um... Hiashi-san, are you coming here without any notification?" Toneri tried to be as polite as possible.

"hmm... I didn't say anything to the house though-" He looked calm.

"But, the clan member will surely going to find you right away, Dad-..." said Hinata while sat beside Toneri.

"then let them-"

'Miss Hinata, Is Hiashi-sama in there?' suddenly someone rang the bell and asked from outside.

"...it's faster than I imagine..." Toneri was quite relieved.

"Allright, it's time to go, then-" Hiashi stood and walked to the front door. Hinata nd Toneri followed him up. "Tomorrow you must show your cooking skill to

your husband, okay Hinata?"

"...yes, Dad-"

"and... Toneri-" He looked at Toneri seriously. "I'll leave my daughter to you... Don't. Ever. Make. Her. Cry." he gave him a serious warning.

"ah... Yeah, I'll do my best-" Toneri felt his hand already sweaty.

"Then, have a nice day you two-" said Hiashi before left their a href=" " /a/pey were silent for some first second.

"F-for now let's have dinner first-" Hinata suggested. Toneri nodded and went back to the table.

"Your dad just worried," He added. "well... it's 'me' we're talking about-""nothing wrong, he just will do the same to anyone-" She gave him the rice. "Here,

"thanks-..."

"itadakimasu-" said Hinata, followed by Toneri as well.

.

.

.

"you can have bath first, I have something to do after-" said Hinata while washing the dishes.

"Allright... ah-how about the soap and shampoo? I put it on the box-"

"I've put it all in the bathroom," she replied.

"ok, thanks-" Toneri immediately went inside the Hinata done washing the dishes, she went to the bedroom and take her bath yukata.

then, she saw a blue male yukata on the bed. Seems it was forgotten by Toneri. Hinata was quite confused, but then she decided to hand it over.

Before the bathroom, there are a dry room. She knocked t

he bathroom door slowly.

"T-Toneri, I'll put your yukata here, okay?"

"Right, I forgot it-Thanks, Hinata" said him from over the blurred glasses sliding door.

"mm, it's fine-" she immediately left the room.

She sat on the living room and turned on the TV. Hinata made sure that she didn't forget anything if she go to bath. then, she heard the door was came out while drying his hair.
Hinata immediately went to the bathroom after him.

She was getting so nervous.

Hinata even clean herself twice. She felt like it's better for her to stay there as long as possible.
so she washed her hair again.
Meanwhile Toneri was reading a novel that Naruto gave him. He didn't really understand but he knew it wasn't something nice for children.
then, he took a magazine under the table. it was female magazine, maybe it's Hinata's.
He kept turned the page without read one. then, he looked at the FAQ article about domestic violence.

"...what-" He was surprised reading about the questions and answers. it never crossed his minds that someone can do that to his wife.

"Toneri?" before he noticed, Hinata already standing behind him.

"...! oh-... Hinata-" he was startled and put the magazine. When he looked at her, he was impressed with Hinata's appearance in Yukata.

"...? what just you read?" Hinata tried to distract him.

but he didn't hear that and he touched her cheek gently. She was startled but she couldn't move.

"you're so pretty..."his hand was moving to her hair and stroaked it. "...and smell so nice-"

"T-Toneri...?" her face was red. "The bandage... You must change it-" said her when he looked at his wrist.

"...-oh, right" Suddenly his sense was back. Hinata immediately took the first aid box and put it on the table. But she took a space between them.

"...so-sorry I just... surprised-"

"No, sorry-..." Toneri looked guilty. he took off the bandage on his wrist and threw it on the garbage can.

it getting swollen and blue. seems it worse than before.

"a-are you sure you won't go to hospital?"

"Nope... it doesn't feel as hurt as it seen-"

"...hhh-" She sighed. Toneri looked at her like he was waiting something. "what...?"

"I couldn't do it myself-" said him.

"...here-" Hinata wasn't sure but it couldn't be helped. She took the new bandage from the box and wrapped his wrist with it. "ok... it's done-"

When she finished, she didn't realized that he was already right in front her.

"thanks-" he smiled. Hinata was about to move to another seat but Toneri stopped her. "are you afraid of me now?"

He looked worried. Hinata was looking for a word to describe how she felt.

"No-it's not afraid-..." she lost the words again when Toneri gazed at her andshe couldn't avert her eyes.

"Can I kiss you?" asked him so sudden.

her cheeks were redden and she looked anxious, but she nodded , He came closer to her face and Hinata closed her eyes in nervous. but she felt he kissed her forehead instead.

"...-oh," she was relieved and looked way more relaxed. But Toneri didn't stop there. he kissed her eyes, her cheek, and her ear. Hinata was trembling as his breath felt on her face.

"I love you-" said him while smiling gently to her.

Then, he kissed her on lips. it was longer than before and deeper. Hinata couldn't pushed him away or do anything. their hair both still a bit wet, but they

didn't know whether it was their hair or sweat.

Toneri stopped right before she was out of breath. Toneri looked nervous as well, but he could always keep a smile to cover it.

Hinata could feel his feelings towards her. that wasn't a passionate kiss, that was an affection. Then, she realized that she never said something about he

feelings toward him.

"u-um... I-..." she was too nervous to say it. it felt like she was about to confess for the first time.

"...hm?" Toneri put his hand on her cheek like before.

"...-I..." her face felt warm. "I'll do my best-..."

"in what?"

"...so I can pay your feelings... as much as you gave me-"

"You don't have to return anything, by chose to being here... you've made me really happy-" he linked his forehead to Hinata's.

"...mm-" she giggled but her worries still left.

"let's rest for today, you've been working all day. you must be tired." he stood and reached his hand for Hinata.

"...huh? oh-... mm, sure-" Hinata accept his hand and stood.

"don't worry... I won't do anything unless you ready and allow me." said him while opening the door.

The room was still clean. the bed was simple and wasn't so big but enough.

their clothes had been arranged at the cupboard nicely. Everything looked perfect there with a table lamp beside the bed.

"are you prefer the light on?" asked Toneri.

"no, i'm okay..." She replied. then, He turned the main light off.

"...even I said that-" he mumbled

"huh?"

"nothing... ah, I'm going to lock the door and window first-" he went out immediately. Hinata was sighed to let out all her nervous.

She was glad that he didn't force her. But, she felt a bit dissapointed since he didn't ask and just decided as he also impossible if she asked him. that would be weird. All she wanted just to know him more

the door opened and Toneri came in. He locked the door as well and went to the other side of the bed.

"Goodnight, Hinata-" said him while pulling the blanket. Hinata still sat on the bed, thinking.

It wasn't like she didn't see him coming but she didn't know what to do. While she was still thinking, Toneri embraced him from her back.

"T... Toneri?"

"Are you waiting me to attack?" he whispered on her ear.

"...Um-"

"now, I'm asking you-what do you want me to do?"

There was no other sound beside their breath and heartbeat. Hinata was hestitated to answer. But then, she made up her mind and nodded slowly.

"...it's fine-" said her.

"huh? really?" He was the one who got surprised. "i-if you don't want it, it's okay-don't force yourself-" he suddenly released her.

"I'm fine-...!" She made clear her looked at him and brave herself.

"Hinata..." Toneri couldn't believe it. but he grabbed her hand and looked serious. "i'm going to be gentle, please leave it to me-"

"...yeah-" she nodded.

Toneri kissed her like before, slowly and gently. then, he pushed her down and kept kissing her.

She extended her hands around his neck, slipped under his yukata and made it loose. He pulled off her hand and kissed it. he stopped and smiled to Hinata who looked scared.

"It's okay... nothing is scary, it just me-" he gave her a warm hug and pulled her obi. Toneri also took off his upper side of yukata and half naked.

"T-Toneri...! it's-...!" Hinata looked away and embrassed but he just laughed.

"no, look at me, Hinata... this one is yours, after all-"

She tried to take a glance. people got their clothes ripped apart in the battle and went half-naked. but this was different, it's so close and she could feel the movement of every muscle.

Hinata touched his shoulder. it was thicker than how it seen. Toneri gave her a kiss once again before he took off her yukata.

"I love you-..." he whispered on her red ears.
