"So Naruto-kun, what's the matter?" Hinata said breaking the silence that grew awkward in the little shack. Naruto turned and quirked his head at her, noodles hanging out of his mouth.
"Hinata have you ever… loved someone?" Naruto's reply almost sounded as if choked out. Of course she did. She loved Naruto or that's what she had thought all those years.
"O-of course…" She whispered back, barley audible. Naruto didn't hear he just kept talking.
"Someone that doesn't seem to know how you feel and finds happiness with someone who doesn't even return your feelings?" Naruto asked. 'Oooh he was pushing it'. Hinata stood her fist clenching and unclenching.
"And you feel like their so blind that sometimes you hate them more than anything. Well, that's how I feel, I guess you wouldn't know." Naruto finished completely unaware of his remarks and the way they affected her.
"That's it." Hinata raised her head anger flared in her opal eyes the first time Naruto has ever even seen feeling come out of the girl. "Naruto. Do you know how hard I try for YOU and all you think about is HER. I'm quite literally tired of it. All I think of day and night is making you proud, but it's like your blind to my feelings. I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE"
Hinata got up from her stool and started to walk away, but something was holding her back. She looked down and could see his hand holding on to her arm. She looked up and her eyes met his, their feeling fought just through contact.
"I-I'm sorry" Hinata said as she pulled her arm from his grip. She kept walking. Naruto just stood there dumbfounded.
Naruto started walking home thinking of what happened. He knew of her feelings towards him but never actually acknowledged it. He fumbled with his keys as he opened the door to his apartment. Everything was tossed around completely messy.
'Hah, Sakura-chan's gonna kill me for messing up her four hours of work.' Naruto thought back before he brought Sasuke back.
"Ahh, I needa move on" Naruto said aloud to his empty apartment.
Sakura lay in bed beside an ever so stoic sleeping Sasuke, thinking over the past events; when team 7 formed, when Sasuke left, when Sasuke ALMOST KILLED NARUTO, That stupid smirk. Her temper flared.
But marrying him was her dream since she was a little girl, right?
