It's been a while since I wrote a new chapter for this story. To tell the truth, I hadn't written anything for it until this week. Why? I couldn't think of a story. It wasn't until this week did I think of something fluffy, so I decided to type it up! Enjoy!

The Best Friend & Superstar
Rating: K+

Hinata sat on her queen bed. The light purple covers were made and the matching pillows neatly piled along with several smaller and furrier pillows. One side was up against the white wall where Hinata leaned, focused on the book in her lap. The lazy Sunday day was dragging on since she woke up early that morning, and it was only noon. Hinata fortunately she was already finished with homework for school and work for cram school. It didn't come to her mind to go see Naruto, thinking he would be busy with his homework. Soon enough she was lying down and closed her eyes, but the peace only lasted around 5 minutes when the door bell rang the familiar notes. She sat up and walked over to her doorway, and opened the door. She walked down the hall and was stepping down the wooden steps when she heard two voices conversing. She reached the bottom of the stairs when she saw Neji's figure in the door way, his back facing her.

"Neji-nii-san? Who are you talking to-?" She asked him. Neji looked over his shoulder at her with his usual stoic face.

"You didn't hear him? It's for you." He said. He stepped aside, and Hinata could see the figure of a boy around the same height of Neji stood in the doorway.

"Oh-?" She commented as she walked near the door way when she had the breath taken away. Naruto blond hair was the only thing she could really see although it was also blurred. The next moment after closing her eyes shut she felt herself on the thick rug that lay near the doorway. She had a heavy and warm weight on top of her.

"HINATA-CHAN HEY!" His voiced rang out as he placed a quick kiss on her cheek as she lay on the rug.

"N-Naruto-kun!" Hinata gasped when she opened her eyes after the impact. She could see his eyes and the rest of his face grin at her.

"Hinata! I totally surprised you! But sorry I jumped on you, are you hurt?" He got off from her and sat on the floor right next to her as she sat up.

"I-I'm fine." She said to both Naruto and the alarmed Neji. After a persuading him she was alright, he left to go back to what he was doing and they both went upstairs into her room.

"Naruto-kun what are you doing here? Don't you have homework?" Hinata asked him with a concerned face. Naruto walked around her room with his hands crossed behind his head in a casual manner as he looked around. "Well?" She asked, waiting for him to answer.

"What about you, Hinata? I don't see any homework out." He looked over to her where she stood near her bed.

"I'm already finished, but are you, Naruto-kun?" She persisted. Naruto remained silent for another moment, but he knew she would continue to wait for his response, even though she knew his response would be in the negative.

"Well, I can finish it tonight! No worries, I left the easiest of work to do!" Naruto assured her with a confident smile, but she saw he was going to crack on the homework still at home when he returned.

"Oh, Naruto-kun, you really should finish your homework so you don't have to worry about it later." Hinata said as she looked at him.

"But Hinata-chan, this is very important!" Naruto's face changed into a serious one, but Hinata saw he was acting like an agent- meaning he wasn't really being serious.

"What are you talking about?" Hinata asked him, as he hid his smile. There was a moment of silence that hung over both of them. Hinata jumped out of her skin as Naruto ran toward her still with the serious face, and she backed to the wall on her bed. Naruto stopped at the edge, with a card out. Hinata tried to regain her breath as she relaxed back.

"Hinata-chan! Look at this card! Sakura gave it to me!" He cried happily, holding the card up for Hinata to get a better look. Hinata leaned closer as she looked at the card. It was a dark background speckled with lights, taking as stars in the dark sky. The pale moon shown near the top corner and she saw on the opposite side was a larger, distinct star. Right next to it said in bright yellow letters was the English word "superstar".

"Wasn't Sakura so nice to give this to me?? It was so weird too, I was just walking and she was passing by, so I said hi and she actually calmly greeted me back and gave it to me! What do you think, Hinata?" He asked her, eagerly waiting for wonderful praise from her. She looked at the card again for a moment and looked back at his patient face.

"Superstar?" She asked, looking at him. He sat up straight as he turned the card so he could look at it for the umpteenth time.

"Is that what it says? I was wondering. Do you know what it means, Hinata?" He asked her with a slight confused look.

"Let's see- it's a phrase in English." Hinata tried to think of it. Really, she was suppose to learn more grammar and literate words in English, but the phrase was used a few times around, as it was common.

"What is it? Some sort of pet name or something?" Naruto asked her.

"No Naruto-kun… It's more like telling someone they're talented, or has wide recognition." Hinata had to think for a moment describing it. Naruto pondered it for a moment until he understood.

"Ah! Sakura actually thinks I'm talented! Amazing, I knew it-" He was going to go on ranting to Hinata when she stood up from her bed. Naruto stopped as he watched her cross to her desk across the room. "-Hinata-chan?" He called her name, but she remained silent. "What's wrong?"

"Naruto-kun…" Hinata mumbled as she opened one of the drawers under the flat surface. Naruto watched her remain in her silence when he began to worry. He realized when he looked down at the picture in his hand at what he had done.

"H-Hinata-chan, wait! I didn't mean to sound like that! You know-" He had a serious and worried face as he reached out for her, but she stepped back, making him grab thin air. "No, Hinata-chan! Please don't angry, or sad! I didn't mean it! I-!" He pleaded, but she then turned to face him in the middle of his cry, and he stopped when he saw her holding an object. He then noticed it was a card, the same size as the one in his hand. Upon further inspection, he saw it had the same art style, but this time the scene was a field full of flowers, and he saw many were sunflowers.

"W-what is it?" He looked at it, and saw the sun popping out, just like how the smaller star looks like. Right next to it in bright colors was another phrase in English, but he didn't read it. He looked up to see Hinata's calm face; no anger, no sadness, no disappointment.

"I had gotten a card from Sakura too, not too long ago. She told me she's giving them to everyone because her father returned back from America. She didn't really like the strange words and phrases on the cards, but decided she wanted to give them anyway." She explained to him as he stared motionless at the card. He reached his hand for it, and she handed it to him as he looked closer at it.

"Really?" He looked up to her, and she nodded in confirmation. He groaned as he held his head and lay on the wooden floor. "Dang! I really thought Sakura had actually thought of buying me something instead of just hitting me…" He mumbled.

"That's not true- Sakura is always nice to you, Naruto-kun. You know that!" Hinata told him. He sat up, and smiled up at her.

"Thanks, Hinata-chan." He thanked her for the comfort and assurance she always gave him, even with his irrelevant rants. He then remembered how earlier he was trying to apologize. "Oh, about what I said earlier- I'm so sorry, Hinata-chan, I really shouldn't exaggerate so much…" He blushed in embarrassment as he apologized again. There was silence, so Naruto looked up at Hinata to see what was wrong. "Hinata-chan, please don't be mad at me-"

"Sorry for what?" Her face was shining with oblivious as she looked at him questioning. Naruto dropped to the floor seeing her cluelessness- she clearly hadn't heard him or paid any mind to his not-so-serious love for Sakura.

"It's nothing, Hinata-chan…" He waved it off and sat back up. He looked down where he dropped Hinata's card and picked it up. He stared at the word in English. "Hinata-chan, do you know what this says?" He lifted it to show her, and she nodded.

"It says "Best Friend"." She told him, hiding her small smile.

"Ahh, that makes sense! I still like my card…" He commented. He sighed in boredom as he looked up at the walls of her room when he eyes found the clock. "It's only one o' clock… Don't you have anything planned today?" He asked Hinata. She shook her head and was focused reading one of her books she kept near her bed. He narrowed in irritation at her laziness and stood up. She watched in surprise as he took out his wallet, and checked inside it. Still with a serious face, he looked over to Hinata and started walking toward her.

"Naruto-kun? What are you doing-?" She asked hesitantly as she saw him getting closer. She couldn't back away, when he yanked her hand. He started pulling her toward the door. "N-Naruto-kun, what are you doing??" She asked as he dragged her out.

"We're going to go get some ice-cream or something! I don't know how you don't die from boredom, but I can't take another minute! Come on!" He urged while Hinata was still in shock by the force.

"Naruto-kun, please- wait a minute!" She cried out, trying to stop sliding across the floor.

"No! You're not staying here! We'll be going! You have to leave this house!" Naruto gritted, trying to continue.

"Naruto-kun, just wait!" Hinata cried out almost as a whimper. Naruto stopped pulling and looked over to her in concern. "What is it? Did I hurt you?" He asked worried. She shook her head, pouting. "Well what then?"

"I have to get dressed in clean clothes!" Hinata cried.

"Oh, right. Sorry Hinata-chan." Naruto apologized.

Even with the OOC, I wrote it for the fluff and I always wanted Naruto to act like that. Hope you enjoyed!
