Months passed, Naruto and Hinata got together whenever possible. They talked and ate ramen together, sometimes they had missions together. If one went on a mission, the other would wait until they returned and then they told each other everything that happened. When Naruto was away from her he would often wonder what that feeling in his chest was. He never felt anything like it, he just couldn't figure it out.

Hinata never got the courage to finally confess to him, and she didn't want to ruin their friendship by saying it, she still didn't know how he felt. Time flew by and a year had passed. It was now the day before Naruto's 18th birthday. He was still thinking about the felling he got when he was around HInata, (He's really slow, i know I'm sorry) He thought for hours, He really liked Hinata, she was the best friend he could ever dream for. Then it hit him, (finally, i know XD) could he like her more than a friend. What if he loved her, he did love her smile and she was the nicest person he had ever met. He began to blush as he thought about all of Hinata's wonderful qualities.

That was it he would invite her to where they met on his birthday one year ago, and he would tell her about his feelings, he only hopped she would return them.

The next night (his birthday) he found Hinata sitting in the grass looking up at the sky. She looked so beautiful, he couldn't believe he never realized it back in the academy.

"Hey Hinata." Naruto called. Hinata looked away from the sky and let her eyes fall on Naruto.

"Hello, Naruto-kun." She said with a smile, "Happy birthday."

"Arigato Hinata." He said returning her smile. He sat down next to her.

"do you remember what I told you last year, Hinata." Naruto asked

"Of course, Naruto-kun, you told me all about your past and about how the Kyuubi lived in you." She said calmly.

"Yeah, I'm really glad I told you, you never acted shocked, you acted as if it didn't matter." He said smiling and looking up at the sky.

"that's because it doesn't matter, Naruto-kun, I don't care that the kyuubi lives in you." She said also turing to look at the sky. Naruto chuckled.

"Arigato Hinata. You really are the best friend anybody could have." He said. Hinata blushed.

"Uno, Naruto-kun." Hinata said. Naruto turned to look at her.

"yeah Hinata."

"Um, here." She said holding out a small box. Naruto took it and opened it. Revealing a pair of Finley crafter chopsticks. They had his name engraved in it, and were covered with a orangish furnish. " I wasn't sure what to get you, and um i noticed you never had a pair of nice chopsticks, so um, Happy Birthday."

"wow, Thank you, Hinata!" Naruto said, and without thinking he gave Hinata a big hug.

"Huh!." Hinata said surprised by his actions, but then returned his hug. "your welcome, Naruto-kun."

"Ne, Hinata. There was something I've been wanting to tell you…" Naruto said releasing her from the hug and looking at her. He was stopped by a sudden boom of thunder. Then the rain came pouring down. Hinata gave a small shriek, surprised by the sudden down pour. Naruto grabbed her hand and lead her under a giant tree that shielded them from the rain.

Hinata let a out a sigh. 'Thank you, Naruto-kun." She said looking at him and then looked down at her hand, which he was still holding. She waited for him to let go, but he never did. She looked up at him.

"Naruto-hun?" She asked. Then before she knew it he kissed her right on the lips. She was so shocked, she didin't know what to do, so she just sat there stunned. When Naruto removed his lips from hers she was still in shock. He could see it in her face.

"Hinata?" He asked sounding a bit worried.

"Huh." Hinata said snapping out of her shock and looked into Naruto's eyes. They were full of emotion.

"Hinata, are you all right." He asked sounding realy concerned. "Aw damn it I messed it up." He said with a thin line of blush crossing his face. He slid to the ground leaning against the tree's trunk, and letting go of Hinata's hand. "I'm sorry, Hinata, you probably don't even feel the same way."

"Huh?" Hinata said a little shocked at what he said. 'feel the same way' did that mean… She thought.

"Well, I like you Hinata." He said looking up at her and blushing. "I mean, I think I love you." The blush turned darker. Hinata sat facing him at his side. She couldn't believe she was hearing this. He really liked her.

"are you joking." She asked still in disbelief.

"Of course I'm not joking!" Naruto said the blush on his face turning even darker.

"Really?" Hinata said.

"really." Naruto said with a sigh. That was all she needed. She threw her arms around him and began to cry.

"Hinata?" Naruto asked sounding worried.

"I-I-I love you too, Naruto-kun." Hinata said through the tears. Naruto looked at her in shock, he didn't think she would actually say she loved him back.

"R-really." He asked.

"H-hai." Hinata said. Letting him go so she could look at him. His eyes went from shocked to nothing but care when he saw her face. He gently wiped the tears from her eyes, and slowly bent down and kissed her on the lips. This time Hinata kissed him back. It was a long kiss full of love and all the emotions they felt for each other.

When they finally broke apart, Naruto gazed into Hinata's eyes, and she gazed into his.

"I love you Hinata." He said gentally kissing her forhead.

"I love you too, Naruto-kun." She replied.

They stayed under the tree for hours siting side by side holding hands, and giving the ocasional glance at each other and watching the rain. It didn't seem to be letting up. Then all of a sudden there was a flash of lightning and a large rumble of thunder. Hinata shrieked and beried her face in Naruto's shoulder. He looked down at her.

"Hinata you wouldn't be afraid of thunder would you?" Naruto asked. Hinata lifted her head and nodded slowly. ( I don't know, yeah I figure why the hell not, it gave me a reason to write this) He smiled gently at her and scooped her up into his arms. He gently lay her down in his lap, so her head could rest on his shoulder. There was another strike of lightning followed by thunder. Hinata shrieked again, holding onto Naruto's jacket and burrying her face into his shoulder. He gently rubbed her shoulder and kissed her on the forehead.

"it's alright Hinata, Theres nothing to worry about." He said resting his head on top of hers.

"Arigato, Naruto-kun." She said nuzzleing into his jacket. Soon they were both fast asleep.
