Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto!
Author's Note- Since I am leaving for a cruise I won't be updating for 2 weeks so here are two updates! How dense can you be and Just friends right? There are only 1 or 2 more chapters left of each it's almost over! Please revieww!
"I love you." He repeated, looking straight into her eyes.
"Naruto, I don't know what to say. I'm speechless." Hinata said, looking at him.
A silence filled the air as the wind blew through her hair. Naruto looked into her silver eyes and said, "I'm not asking for an answer. I understand this is terrible timing, with you getting married soon." Hinata nodded. of course this was terrible timing, she was getting married to Sasuke Uchiha.
"Just listen to what I have to say. I was a fool for not realizing my feelings for you and I took you for granted. Years just passed by quickly and I just assumed you would be by my side forever. After you fell for Sasuke, I felt neglected and alone. The thought of me being in love with you seemed to evade my mind. You have been my best friend for many years, after all." Naruto seriously said.
Hinata just looked at him and softly said, "Naruto." He looked into her eyes once more and said, "I'm so sorry for not realizing your feelings sooner. If only, I could turn back the hands of time. I would fix this. It looks like it's too late and I'm paying the price." he sadly said.
He ran off leaving Hinata to her thoughts. Naruto, so you know now huh? My undying love for you since the moment I met you.
Sakura's apt.
Thunder crackled in the sky as the rain poured like crazy. A certain pink-haired girl was sitting by her window waiting for Naruto. Waiting, hoping, he didn't get his heart broken in two.
She saw a figure outside her door but, she could barely tell who it was. She slowly got up and came outside to her best friend Naruto, standing out in the rain. She came up to him, "Naruto, are you crazy! It's raining and you're just sitting out here? You're going to sick, please come inside."
He looked up at her with those sad eyes and simply said, "How about you and I go out for real?" She just looked at him too stunned to speak. She pulled him inside. "You are such an idiot! You're going to get sick now." Sakura exclaimed.
She grabbed some towels and dried his face slowly and his hand reached out to touch hers. Their eyes locked and he kissed her lips softly. Perhaps, it was a moment of heart-break, confusion, and suppressed feelings. They had a moment of intimacy before.
She pulled away from him and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. What on earth was going on between them? "S-Sakura, I'm sorry. I should not have done that. I'm just…" He drawled out.
She turned back at him and said, "You're just what? What happened between you and hinata anyway? Did she shoot you down at once? What happened?" She demanded to know.
"Well, the truth is…." Naruto started.
Sasuke & Hinata
Hinata slowly walked back to her house. She couldn't believe what had just happened… The moment she had been dreaming of for years had finally came… Finally, Naruto admitted his love for her and realized her feelings for him.
Only, it's too late. As he said, she is getting married soon to his best friend. Their time has come and gone. Rain began to furiously beat down towards her. She dashed to her house to see Sasuke waiting for her.
"So, how did it go?" He asked, while hugging her. "It was fine." She smiled, weakly. "I love you, Hinata." He smiled as he kissed her nose. She giggled, "Oh, Sasuke stop! You're making me blush." "That's what I like. No one will ever see you like this besides me." He said, leaning towards her.
She held him close and said, "I love you so much, Sasuke." He grinned, "Hinata, I think we can both agree that we didn't expect to find each other the way we did but, I'm so thankful to have you in my life. I'd be lost without you." She couldn't believe what he was saying… Sasuke has always been sweet to her and was very over-protective and got jealous pretty easily.
She nodded, "I didn't quite expect to meet you and fall in love." Sasuke beamed, "Yet, here we are only weeks away to become husband and wife." She smiled at him. "My perfect bride." He said, holding her face.
"Yea." She said, looking away. "Don't doubt it, Hinata-chan. You are perfect." Sasuke insisted. yea, pretty perfect. Why is it that Naruto's confession that is still in my mind?
Sakura's apt.
"Naruto, you didn't even let her tell her how she felt?" Sakura exclaimed. Naruto just gazed up at the pink-haired beauty, "I know it's already too late. It was just enough for her to know my feelings. Plus, she looked too shocked to even speak. She must hate me."
"Yea, of course! You don't even know how she feels! What if she was to…"She faltered. She just looked at her best friend and he said, "If she was to what? Say that she still loves me after eight years? I highly doubt she holds any feelings for me anymore. I ruined our friendship with my bare hands." Naruto exclaimed.
"Naruto, you're being too hard on yourself." Sakura said. "Being too hard on myself? You have got to be kidding me! How many times have I denied being jealous of Sasuke being with Hinata?! And how many times did you ask me if I was jealous and I said no! It's over and I'm too late." He said, almost crying.
Sakura held him close and said, "Naruto, stop this! I can't stand you beating yourself up like this! We all have our flaws like Sasuke is antisocial, Ino takes about herself too much, I am sometimes too nosy, and you are dense. It's always been like this."
"Well, thanks to me being dense. I lost the only girl that ever mattered to me." Naruto said. Sakura just looked at him with her eyes lowered, "I'm going to sleep."
Moments later, Naruto realized why she left so abruptly. I'm such an idiot.
Sasuke & Hinata
"So, have you decided?" Hinata asked. "Yea, I think you're right darling." Sasuke said, holding her. "Right about?" Hinata questioned. "right about making Naruto my best man." He said.
"Yea, Naruto…the perfect choice." She said, looking out the window. "Don't forget that the wedding planner is coming tomorrow." Sasuke reminded. "I haven't forgotten." She smiled at him. She slowly made her way to her room and the words that naruto spoke to her still hasn't left her mind. "I'm so sorry for not realizing your feelings sooner. If only, I could turn back the hands of time. I would fix this. It looks like it's too late and I'm paying the price." I
Charming, Sweetest guy you'd ever meet, Silly, loyal, honest and dense… if anything he was dense. Though, it didn't bother her much.
Next day
"Hinata, the wedding planner is coming to double check on stuff. I'll be out confirming things. Alright, sweetheart?" Sasuke said, kissing her forehead. "Okay, honey." Hinata said.
"Ms. Hyuuga, this is the dress you bought?" The wedding planner said.
"Mhmm." She said.
"It looks beautiful." The wedding planner said.
"My best friend chose it out. He's very sweet." She said."He?" The wedding planner said.
"Yea, Naruto my best friend we've known each other since we were little." Hinata said, smiling.
"Hope you aren't getting cold feet now." The wedding planner, joked.
"Cold feet? Why would I have that?" Hinata said.
Naruto & Sakura
"You won't believe what just happened!" Naruto exclaimed. "What is it?" Sakura asked. "Sasuke just called to say I'm going to be his best man!" Naruto said, shocked. "B-Best man!? You!? You and Sasuke aren't even friends anymore." Sakura said. "Well, I agreed. It's fine. Are you Hinata's maid of honor?" Naruto asked.
"Yea, she asked me a long time ago." Sakura nodded. "Naruto, since we both have essential roles in the wedding. We shouldn't screw up the wedding." Sakura added.
"Screw up the wedding like?" Naruto asked. Sakura narrowed her eyes, "Like confessing your undying love for hinata at the wedding! Or stealing her away!"sakura exclaimed. "I know, I know. It's late for anything like that anyways. She has her mind made up." Naruto said.
"Don't worry, I'll always be there for you Naruto." Sakura said, leaning towards him. She slowly fell asleep and Naruto stroked her hair, "I still love you Sakura-chan, I probably will always care for you."

"Thanks, Naruto." She said.
"I'm sorry about before…You can forget everything I said. I didn't mean to ruin your wedding or anything like that." Naruto explained.
"It's alright, Naruto. I actually wonder myself how things would've turned out if Sasuke didn't get between us." Hinata said, truthfully.
"Are you sure about this?" Naruto asked.
"Don't make me say it again. I've made my choice." She said, smiling.
There she walked down the aisle the prettiest girl there and she turned to meet the groom.
