Hello, so i'm sorry this took so long to get posted, with school starting again and me getting sick everything was all crazy. gomennasai mina! im going to do my best to post more often! I like the way this chapter came out and I hope you all will enjoy reading it. i do not own Naruto.
I've never been to a party before, but Neji had really wanted me to come so I couldn't refuse. He even bought me this amazing dress, it was a little too short for my liking, and it did show a bit of my chest but I'm sure that's because they're way too big for my own good. Neji was kind of mad at me because I decided to wear my chucks instead of the heels he bought me, they just aren't my style.
I wonder if Naruto will be there. … What am I saying; it doesn't matter if he's here or not! I have no business thinking of him at a time like this.
"Hinata, don't be so nervous! Sakura always has great parties and you have us here to have fun with as well!" Tenten was clinging onto me, and pulling Neji towards her. "So shall we go in or what?" she let go and then started walking towards the open door.
"This is what youth is all about!" scram Lee as he walked through the door with Tenten not to far behind him. Neji smiled at me and nodded his head towards the door, so I followed him in. I was looking around and that's when my eyes meet a familiar blue.
I felt myself freeze and my cheeks began to burn. He looked so good; it wasn't his usual way of dressing but somehow more attractive. Oh no, he's walking towards me, what do I do? Just stay calm Hinata, act natural! … Wait, why am I getting nervous? It's just Naruto, not like I don't see him at school every day.
Naruto was in front of me now; he looked at me from head to toe and opened his mouth to speak when someone jumped right in front of him.
"Hey Hinata! I didn't think you were going to come. You look amazing!" I got taken back to reality, it was Kiba. I felt a relief and strangely angry to see Kiba.
"Ha yeah I'm here Kiba" I smiled and gave him a hug.
"I'm happy you're here, now we can party!" he grabbed my hand and pulled me away from Naruto. My eyes meet with his again and he still had a shocked face on his, I'm guessing when Kiba came out of nowhere. Without fighting it I followed Kiba to where Shino and a few others were sitting on a couch. Kiba sat down and patted the cushion next to him for me to sit down; I did as I was told. I sat there and half listened to Kiba and Shino talk and smiled whenever they looked at me. I started looking at the others that were in my view. I could see Sakura and Ino dancing, Sasuke was drinking and talking to one of the other players. There were some of my classmates scattered around, laughing, drinking and dancing.
"Hina, do you want something to drink?" Shino asked as he got up from his seat.
"No I'm fine" I smiled back.
"Alright, well I'll be right back." He smiled and I realized that he wasn't wearing his usual sweater that covered his mouth, he had a nice smile. I watched as he was leaving and then scanned the room again.
"So what did you think of the game?"
"I thought it was great, Neji was so cool while he was playing." I didn't notice Kiba had turned in his seat to face me.
"Yeah, he isn't team captain for nothing, you know!" he laughed loudly.
I laughed with him, and we continued talking for quite a while.
"Do you want to go dance Hinata?
I looked at Kiba who had stood up and was reaching his hand out towards me. "I don't know how to dance though, so you go ahead" I giggled. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.
"It's no fun dancing alone though! Come on!" I followed along as he pulled me towards the dance floor.
"I really don't know how to dance though Kiba."
'It's okay, just do anything. Everyone else is doing it look." I looked and everyone was dancing pretty silly. Kiba pulled me closer to him and we started to dance together. Though I did feel a bit uncomfortable, it was fun to know I had a friend like him, he was always such fun. As we were dancing I looked around the room and that's when I saw Naruto staring at us. I felt my heart begin to race. He looked mad though, I wonder if something happened. Maybe I should go ask him.
"Hinata, lets get off the floor I'm thirsty" Kiba grabbed my hand and he started pushing through the others that were dancing. I looked back to see if I could see Naruto, but it was too late he was already out of my view. "Would you like a beer?"
"No Thank you, water would be fine."
"Alright my lady." He smiled and went to grab us drinks. I looked back towards the dance floor but I still couldn't see him. I wonder if he went somewhere else. "Here you go"
I took the water and took a big drink from it. "Thank you for the water Kiba" I laughed as I recapped the water. He just smiled as he drank his beer. We stood there and I was still looking for Naruto, I wonder what's wrong with him. But why am I so worried in the first place?
"Hinata, can I ask you something?" my attention snapped back to Kiba, he was looking at me with a slight smile on his face.
"y-yes Kiba, you can ask me anything." I hadn't noticed how close his face was to mine until now; it must be because of the music being so loud. I backed away a little, but was stopped by a wall.
"When we first met, what did you think of me?"
"Well, I thought you seemed like a nice guy."
"What else?
"Umm, why do you ask Kiba?" I didn't know what to say to him. I didn't really put much thought into him when we first met in all honesty.
He started leaning in closer to me, I pushed against the wall as much as I could. "I thought you were really cute and I kind of got a crush on you." He closed his eyes and I could feel his breath on me now it smelled like beer, he started leaning in more and more. Our lips were about to touch when I felt a heavy tug on my arm and then myself being pulled towards the front door. I looked back to see Kiba calling towards me with a very angry expression. Coming to my senses my heart was racing and my cheeks felt hot. Was he about to... k-ki-kiss me? NO WAY! Kiba was just a friend and there's no way he could think of doing that. No. no. no! Crush? On me? He never acted like he liked me though? Or was I just not paying attention? None the matter, why now? Why in all places? Maybe he just had too much to drink.
I kept questioning myself when I realized I was cold from the wind. When did I get outside of Sakuras house? I looked forward and saw a big hand tightly wrapped around my wrist, and that's when it hit me, we were walking and fast away from the party. I followed along the long arms that were in front of me. My eyes landed on the blond, that was bright even in the dark, Naruto. My heart started racing again, even though he stopped me from ki-kissing Kiba, why did he? What should I say to him? Ugh my stomach is starting to get tight and my face feels hot even though my body feels cold. I have no idea where we're going, or how far we had gotten from Sakuras house. I hope Neji hasn't noticed I left without telling him, or without even knowing I had left in the first place. I wanted to say something but nothing is coming out.
We walked for a while and his grip on my wrist had loosened some, but he still didn't let go. We stopped and I looked around, we were in a park now. It was completely empty and there were only a few street lights on, just enough for me to see his face. He was looking up at the sky. He looked a little mad but at the same time calm.
We stood there in silence, only hearing the noise of our surroundings. "Hinata, I'm sorry I don't know what came over me." his grip tightened again. "I just saw him getting closer and closer to you and before I knew it I was holding onto you and rushing towards the door." He looked down to the floor and started kicking the grass. I looked at his face and I could faintly see a red starting to show on his cheeks. He looked so cute in the moon light, like a baby.
"Um, I don't really know what was going on at that moment, but thank you for uhm pulling me away." I looked down and covered my face with my free hand.
"I wanted to say hi when you first got to the party, but then Kiba got in the way." He cleared his throat and sighed. "You look really stunning in that dress Hinata."
"Thank you, I think you look very h-handsome yourself Naruto." We stayed in silence for a while and I realized his hand was still around my wrist. My stomach started jumping around. I looked around the park, for anything to distract me so I could calm down. I started to shiver from the cold air hitting my skin. I didn't think of bringing a sweater. Great. I began to rub my skin to try and warm it up.
Naruto let go of my wrist and I started rubbing the other side of me. I heard a shuffle of the grass then a sudden warmth around my back, my arms and my stomach.
"I don't have a sweater and I hope you don't mind but this is the best I can do for now Hinata." Narutos arms were wrapped around me. I started to feel like I was going to pass out, but I needed to fight the urge as much as possible. "I could let go if you want me to?"
"I-it's okay, I feel a lot warmer now. Thank you"
"I hope this isn't weird or anything, as soon as you get warmer we can leave deal?"
"Deal" I smiled and let myself take in his warmth. His arms were so long that they almost completely wrapped around me and I could feel him slouching a bit. I didn't realize how much taller he was. I didn't think I'd feel this way here. I only came to be with Neji, but how did this happen?
Wait a minute, what am I saying? There's nothing happening here. I don't feel anything for Naruto, he's just a classmate, just a friend and nothing more. I didn't come from Japan just to have these feelings, whatever they are.
"Hinata." My heart jumped when I heard him say my name.
I cleared my throat, "y-yes?"
"Do you want me to let you go?" I stayed quiet. "I know this is probably weird, especially with Kiba trying to kiss you and all, so I can let go" he started to move away but my body moved on its own and stopped him from letting go. What was I doing?! He chuckled and put his arms back around me. "If you didn't want me to let go, you could have said so." Oh no what am I doing? I should have let him let go, but then again I didn't want him to. A part of me wanted to stay like this just for a while longer. And that's exactly what we did.
For a long while we stood there, not saying anything. I listened to the way he breathed and my breath had started to match I started to feel water fall on my face and I looked up.
"Crap it's starting to rain. Out of all the days to rain in California, it had to be today!" Naruto pulled me closer to him trying to cover me from the rain. "Come on, my house isn't that far from here." He grabbed my hand and I followed behind him. We ran a few blocks and reached an apartment complex, he lead me up some stairs and we were covered. He slowed to a walk now and then reached into his pocket for his keys, still holding onto my hand. Our fingers were intertwined, his hands were bigger but it made me smile, it kind of made me feel safe. He opened the door and then gestured for me to go in, I let go of his hand and walked in. "make yourself at home, I'll go get you a towel to dry off." He went into the hallway and I went to his living room.
It wasn't too big but wasn't too small, just enough for one person to live. Did he not live with his family? I looked at my dress and noticed how wet I was, I was dripping all over his floor. I rushed back towards the door so I didn't get anywhere else wet. Naruto came back with a towel and handed it to me. I nodded thank you and started to dry my hair and dress off. Oh no my phone! I reached into my pocket and luckily it wasn't wet at all, I turned it on and looked to see if Neji had messaged me but I had nothing. Wait is it really 12!? Oh no uncle is going to be furious! Maybe Neji was still at the party? I'll text him and tell him that I'm fine and where I am.
"Hey, if you're worried about Neji not knowing where you are I told him already." I looked at Naruto stunned.
"Thank you, I was just about to text him right now, my uncle must be mad that we aren't home yet. Though he probably isn't coming home till late tonight."
"I'm sure Neji can't drive right now so he's probably going to crash at Lees house like usual. If you'd like I can drive you home?"
"It's okay, I can walk home once the rain lets up"
He looked at me like I was crazy, "if you think you're walking home at this hour, you're insane. Plus, Neji's place is pretty far from here, you guys live on the other side of campus and that's already far from here. I'll give you a ride, so don't worry."
"If it's not too much trouble."
He smiled at me and started rubbing his towel through his hair "none at all, but you must want to get out of that dress right? Follow me." he walked back into the hall way. This dress was uncomfortable since its wet, I started to follow him and he led me into his bedroom. The bed wasn't done and there was a few things scattered on the floor but he quickly picked them up. "Sorry about the mess, I don't have guests very often aha"
"I don't mind," I smiled. He opened a door and went inside, and a few seconds later he came back out with a white t-shirt and orange sweats.
"This is all I have that should fit you but they might be a little big." He handed them to me and began to walk out of the room "just come out to the living room when you're done changing." He smiled and then shut the door. He really did have a cute smile; it was always big and made me feel happy. I felt myself smiling as well. Oh goodness, what is going on with me! I started to take my dress off, struggling a bit with the zipper in the back. I finally gotten it off and put the shirt on then the sweats, they were pretty big, so I got my hair tie and tied then to fit snuggly around my waist, though they still were a bit lose. The shirt on the other hand, could have been a dress. I got my dress and my shoes and walked out of his room, he was sitting at his table eating a cup of ramen.
"Thank you for the clothes Naruto" I placed my wet dress, shoes and socks by the door and went to sit at his table. He smiled and got up.
"I made you some so here you go" when he got up I realized we were dressed the same, he too was wearing a white t-shirt and orange sweats. It was kind of cute and it made my stomach dance around. "I hope you like ramen" he chuckled as he placed it in front of me.
"I do, thank you." I began to eat so I can calm my stomach and we ate in silence only laughing at each other when our eyes met. He had finished eating before me, and was just sitting there watching me eat. It was making me kind of nervous. I started taking bigger bites so I could finish faster and it helped, all I had was the soup left. "I appreciate the food and clothes Naruto"
"Don't mention it, like I said earlier, I don't get many guests so it's nice to eat with someone other than myself." he got up and took the trash and threw it away. I thanked him once again and stayed seated at his table. He looked at me and then went back to his room, I looked after him to see what he was doing but couldn't see anything so I looked back at the table. I heard footsteps coming back towards me and them a towel hit my head. "Your hair is still pretty wet; I don't want you catching a cold so I'll dry it for you."
"I can dry it myself, I don't want to trouble you even more Naruto."
"It's honestly no trouble at all. I want to make sure it gets nice and dry" he began to rub the towel along my hair.
"Thank you Naruto." I let him do as he pleased and honestly I was enjoying him touching my hair, it felt nice.
"There! That should be dry enough, your hair is pretty long Hinata." He sat down next to me and threw the towel onto the table. He continued to play with my hair, but I had no intention of stopping him. "Hey Hinata, can I ask you something?" my heart jumped. The last time I heard that, Kiba was about to kiss me.
"Of course."
"When Kiba was going to kiss you, did you…" he trailed off and cleared his throat, "did you want him to?" I looked at him kind of stunned by his question.
"Well, I didn't really think about it honestly. He kind of caught me by surprise and I was too shocked to do anything at the moment."
He looked like he was in a deep thought. "I-I see." He looked at the celling and then back at me. "If he did kiss you, do you think you would have liked it?" his cheeks turned a bright red and he looked back towards the ceiling.
I cleared my throat again and covered my mouth with my hand, "uhm, well I wouldn't know how to feel since uhh it would have uhh been my first kiss." I coughed into my hand, hoping he didn't hear me say that. Why did I say it in the first place, I'm making myself look like a total fool. Wait, it doesn't matter, not like anything is going to happen between me and him. I looked back at Naruto and our eyes met.
"Did you just say f-fi-first kiss?"
"Uhm yes, I did."
His cheeks began to turn even redder. He sat straight up into his seat and fixed himself to sit towards the wall. We sat there staring at the wall.
"Hinata," Naruto looked at me, with now a slight blush on his cheeks.
"Yes Naruto?" I looked back at him and our eyes locked onto each other. He started to lean towards me.
"Is it okay if I kissed you?" he continued to lean in until our faces were inches away. "That is, if you want me too"
My heart was racing, my ears felt like they were on fire, and my stomach felt like a bunch of baby monkeys were jumping around. "Yes Naruto," I whispered as our lips began to touch. His lips were moist and soft, his tongue began to trace my lips. I opened my mouth slightly and felt his tongue enter my mouth and it slowly played with mine. Our breath began to get heavy and rapid, his hand had found its way to the back of my head and his fingers were tangled in my hair. Without my consent my body started wrapping my arms around his shoulders, while I slightly tugged on his hair. I could feel our bodies getting closer and closer, when he picked me up into his arms and moved towards his bedroom. I know I needed to stop but his soft nibbles on my lip and the way his tongue moved along with mine took control of my body, it felt so hot and it was moving on its own now, I had already wrapped my legs around his waist. He walked slowly and kissed my neck a bit, I tried fighting back the slight moans that were escaping me, but it felt impossible with every nibble he took from my neck. He laid me down on his bed and got over me. He looked me in the eyes and kissed me again before he laid next to me and wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to push you too far." I felt my heart sigh in relief that he had stopped, but then again I wanted more, my body wanted more. My body wanted Naruto. "Can you stay with me tonight please?" what's this feeling, its making my heart so tight. This can't be happening, I don't know what this is but I can't let it happen. His grip got tighter and he pulled me closer into him as he kissed the back of my head. I rubbed his hand that was on my stomach and let myself go into his embrace.
"Yes."
