I wrote this one shot in response to how I'm feeling right now...with the exception of the happy ending, that hasn't happened yet. This one also has a little Nejiten in it.

I don't own Naruto. If i did, there wouldn't be so many fillers...

BEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEP!

Naruto hit the snooze button. Should I even bother with getting up? Naruto was depressed. Sure, he had friends, he had a life, he had a roof over his head...but there was a gap. A gap that none of those things could fill. He had a longing. He had a longing for love. He wanted someone he could say anything to. He couldn't do that with any of his friends; they'd laugh. He wanted someone who would listen. He buried his face in his pillow. I'm lonely...oh so lonely... There was no one who would notice he was depressed and say, "Oh, poor Naruto!" and walk over and comfort him. He began to cry. He didn't want someone. He needed some one. He needed someone who would always be there for him. Naruto slowly cried himself back to sleep.

Hinata didn't want to get up. She was lonely. She couldn't talk to her dad, Neji, or her friends... they wouldn't listen they way she needed. Her eyes didn't have their usual diamond-like light; today they looked like dull marbles. Hinata hated her situation. Most people would want to be in her position, but the loneliness hurt... it hurt so much. I need someone. I need someone badly. She wondered if there was anyone else sharing her position. I doubt it.

Neji got up; he didn't want to, but he had to. Ever since he got in that fight with Tenten, she wouldn't talk to him. He went back to feeling the way he did before. Alone. Alone and hurting. He had known the pain of loss before, but now, after losing Tenten, it was so much worse. Maybe baka will know what I mean...nah...maybe Tenny will talk to me today... it's worth a shot.

Tenten ran through the streets, towards a certain someone'shome. She was crying. She knew she needed to apologize. She wanted to so badly. She only hoped he would listen.

0000000000000000000000

Hinata decided to get up. I'm going to go talk to Naruto-kun. He'll listen...I hope.

Neji walked out of his room, only to run into Tenten. She clung to him, weeping. She was talking, too.

"I'm sorry, Neji. I'm so very sorry."

Neji hugged her. "It's ok. I'm sorry too."

Hinata walked up to Naruto's door. She knocked. No reply. She knocked again. Still no reply. She walked in, and found Naruto sleeping. She walked over and climbed onto his bed. She hugged his sleeping form and fell asleep herself.

0000000000000000000000

Naruto woke up, detecting someone behind him. He didn't move, waiting to see what would happen. He felt someone climb onto his bed and hug him. Then he heard them begin to breathe in a sleeping rhythm. He rolled over carefully to find Hinata sleeping. He smiled and nudged her.

Hinata woke up. Naruto was smiling at her, and nudging her. He held up the blankets in invitation. She climbed in graciously. They hugged each other and began to drift asleep. before they fell asleep, each of them thought Maybe i do have someone who will listen. I love you.

Wow, that felt good! writing this took a burden off my shoulders.
