Love Sparks Chapter 8: The confession, a naruto fanfic

OOOOOH. I am super duper amazingly sorry for the wait. You all must be dying.

Sooo many things going on at home so I was busy. But I'm back. And here to stay!

Narutobaby: again and again you reminded me. Without you I doubt this fic would ever get

written. Thanks for all your sweet little prodding.

…………………………….

Her world stayed black.

She had always hated darkness

Perhaps that was yet another reason she was drawn to Naruto.

He was light.

Pure and brilliant light.

She struggled to make her eyes open.

She had an odd feeling of weightlessness.

She wondered….

Was Naruto carrying her?

She didn't know if she could blush in her state…

But if it was possible she did.

The feeling of fingertips gripping her sides was all the confirmation she needed

He WAS carrying her.

Millions of fluttery winged butterflies took flight in her stomach.

Her heart was going into overdrive and she feared a heart attack if the rhythm didn't calm

She knew her breathing was out of order.

Any moment he would realize she was no longer completely unconscious.

Cautiously she twitched her fingers.

The fingertips that gripped her side skimmed along her body then gripped tighter.

Her body was shifted then.

The motion of weightlessness was gone.

They were…

Sitting?

And

She

Was

His

Lap

Hinata suppressed the urge to squeak

Her round bottom was situated between his thighs and her head was in a cradle hold

Slowly she felt a finger skitter across her cheekbone

She almost shuddered

fire, lava, heat, followed as the finger's shadow

"Hinata" she heard Naruto breathe

She shuddered

It was as if a shockwave of love, hope, heat, and joy had jolted through her body

She fluttered her eyes open even as she answered him

"Naruto" she breathed, her voice sleep-soft

He jumped a bit as he heard her voice

His arms that were holding her head shifted her so she was sitting up straight.

Slowly his arms entwined around her

Holding her in place.

Hinata made a move to get up.

Promptly she was pulled back onto his lap.

"No." Naruto said. His voice gruff

"N-naruto?" she inquired.

"Hinata. My Hinata." He said longingly

"Yours?" Hinata said quietly and turned in his arms.

Locking her lavender eyes with his cerulean eyes

Oh his eyes.

So many different gorgeous colors of blue

Cerulean, azure, baby blue, sapphire, cobalt

So beautiful

She felt as though she were looking into sparkling gems

She was lost in them

A cliché but true.

Her head was spinning.

Her eyes skittered across his face.

Defined cheeks,

With those amazingly cute whisker marks

The goofy smile still in place

His lips…

His lips were the most tempting thing she had ever seen

She would never be bold enough to kiss them…

But she wanted to.

She wanted to so badly.

What was he saying?

That she was…

His?

What could that mean?

Did he..

Did he love her?

No. Impossible.

He loved Sakura.

She was his everything.

He defended her.

Protected her.

He only blushed around Sakura.

Hinata shook her head

Her black-blue hair flared with the movement.

Naruto couldn't love her.

She wasn't good enough for someone like him.

She wasn't enough.

But as she stared into Naruto's eyes

As butterflies squirmed in her belly

Tingles reached from her head to her toes

And as Naruto smiled

Hinata melted.

Her resolve shattered.

She was vulnerable.

She was hoping.

Hoping against everything that told her no.

That he loved her.

Do you Naruto?

"Yours?" she ventured.

Cautiously

Carefully

Unsure

Her heart was on a cliff side.

It was waiting.

Barely balanced.

Waiting to tip over the edge

Waiting to break

Crack

Shatter

Rupture

Waiting

"If you want to be" he said

Hinata had never wanted anything more in her entire life.

Every moment she had suffered through

This was the climax

The pinnacle of her life

She opened her mouth.

No words came out.

She was unable to speak.

She watched as Naruto's face changed

His smile dropped

His eyebrows came together

He was distraught.

At that moment Hinata spoke

"I have never wanted anything more in my entire life."

His face lit up.

Hinata smiled.

"Hinata Hyuga, I Naruto Uzumaki love you with every heartbeat, I am entranced by your eyes,

Hypnotized by your nature, tempted by your body, soothed by your voice, amazed at your

Smarts and irrevocably, undoubtedly completely and fully in love with you. From the moment

Your lavender eyes shyly glanced my way I have been in love with you. Every step I take away

From you stings. I only want to be near you and be yours for the rest of my life. I love you, my

Hina. So very very much"

Naruto was still smiling after his little speech

Looking at her with love pooling in his eyes like the tears pooling in hers

She blinked in rapid succession.

Suddenly something clicked.

"Why did you have to put me through all that? I've loved you ever since I first saw you. I've

Loved you with a passion that burns in my face when I get near you, I have fainted, blushed,

And trained all for you. In every action I performed, every mission I took, every word I said I

Have loved you. Your presence is light in a hell of darkness. Your voice gives me confidence

And for every time I am near you I never want to part. I have loved you with body, mind, soul,

Heart. The world knew. The world frowned. But you kept your feelings hidden to yourself. If

You love me. Why did you chase Sakura? Why did you make my heart break every day when I

Contemplated how invisible I was to you? Why did you ignore me, treat me like a mere

acquaintance? Naruto. I love you. But I don't believe you love me."

Hinata broke free of his grip and ran the opposite way.

Tears streamed behind her like a silvery trail.

Her heart was crushed.

He said he loved her….

But then why??

……………………………………..

This was one of the best moments of his life.

Carrying Hinata.

Being close to her was a gift.

He stared down at her babydoll face.

Beauty personified.

An angel on earth.

He was too tainted to have her.

He harbored a demon.

And yet…

He couldn't stand it.

She was so lovely.

He loved her.

More than he had ever loved anything.

She was his reason for existing.

For living.

If she was gone..

He had no purpose.

If he became Hokage

Then he would have the prominence.

The privilege of offering her marriage.

But now..

No.

He was nothing.

Shunned by the village.

Did they know how he felt?

They couldn't guess…

If they did then everything would break.

Hinata's finger twitched.

He couldn't resist the urge.

His fingers skimmed along her sides.

His grip tightened.

He didn't want her to wake up.

He wanted to hold her.

Just a little longer.

Let him dwell in this fantasy…

Let him believe that she could be his.

Would she even want that?

He thought she did once..

Did she still?

She still fainted.

Still blushed.

She was his Hina.

His beautiful Hinata.

But she wasn't his…

Not yet.

He sat them on a bench.

Cradling her precious head.

Her silky locks were tangled in his fingers

They were so smooth and shiny.

Her face…

So peaceful.

So smooth.

So clean.

Her ivory complexion was perfect.

Her features unearthly

She was a goddess among mortals.

How many other men had noticed?

How many other men wanted this angel?

He slid a finger across her cheekbone

An electric jolt went through him

It coursed through his body with the power of lightning.

She caused such reactions in him…

Only she could…

"Hinata"

It was longing

Her eyes fluttered open.

Was there ever a prettier color than lavender?

Staring into her big beautiful eyes he didn't think so.

Lavender was his new favorite color.

So pretty.

The light shade in her eyes…

It drew him in.

"Naruto"

Her voice…

Her voice soothed and excited him at the same time.

So innocent and so sexy.

He sat her upright on his lap.

But he refused to let her go.

His arms caged her.

Don't leave me.

She made a move to get up.

"No." his voice was gruff.

Desperate.

"N-naruto?"

"Hinata. My Hinata." He said longingly

"Yours?" Hinata said quietly and turned in his arms.

Their eyes locked.

The energy.

The heat.

The electricity that radiated in the space between them was palpable.

Naruto was very aware that his nervous fingers were still holding Hinata.

He was entranced.

Her eyes…

They were undefined.

All seeing.

Yet seemingly blind.

Her eyes..

They were so emotional

Expressive.

And every time she looked at him.

He saw the love she felt.

Was it love?

He could only dream.

Only hope.

Did she want to be his?

Was it possible?

He had slipped again.

Calling her his.

It was a dream.

A fantasy.

Impossible.

He was a demon.

She an angel.

But… did she love him?

"Yours?" she ventured again.

The uncertainty was clear in her eyes.

"If you want to be." He replied.

His voice was steady.

But he was turmoil inside.

Utter chaos reigned as his heart beat frantically.

One word and she could break him

He waited.

Slowly his smile melted off his face.

He was worried.

Her plump lips were parted but no sound escaped them.

His eyebrows shot together.

Was he too bold?

"I have never wanted anything more in my entire life."

Hinata's words….

He was a bird soaring in the clouds.

She wanted him.

"Hinata Hyuga, I Naruto Uzumaki love you with every heartbeat, I am entranced by your eyes,

Hypnotized by your nature, tempted by your body, soothed by your voice, amazed at your

Smarts and irrevocably, undoubtedly completely and fully in love with you. From the moment

Your lavender eyes shyly glanced my way I have been in love with you. Every step I take away

From you stings. I only want to be near you and be yours for the rest of my life. I love you, my

Hina. So very very much"

He let every ounce of his love pool in his eyes.

His speech was heartfelt.

The long hidden feelings revealed.

He had kept them in so long.

Worrying.

Debating.

And now..

They were out.

Hinata blinked rapidly.

When she spoke her tone was hurt.
