Here we go, I think I might be underestimating Naruto's brains on this one. XD
Enjoy...
Arrg! Naruto pulled his hair, "this is stupid!"
After everything he had done for the village he still had to study for the chunin exams. So he was stuck in his apartment until he finished reading and understanding all the manuals they had given him.
"Really? Aren't I past this level already, I have proven myself nicely, they should just give me the title."
He sighed... "This is stupid."
A knock on the door.
"I'm coming." Another knock...
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
He opened the door.
"Hello Naruto."
"Hinata? What are you doing here? Anything wrong?"
"No, Sakura told me you were going to study for the chunin exams."
"Yes," he scratched his head, "this sucks, I mean come on, I..."
"I know, you are stronger than many of the jonin in the village and I know you are stronger than me and I'm already a chunin."
He curled up in a corner, "don't remind me all of you guys are chunin or above."
"Ah, I'm sorry, cheer up! I'm sure that after you ace the exams you'll be a jonin in no time!"
He stood up, "thank you Hinata."
"Well! I already took the exam, they changed it a lot since you last took it, now you are actually watched not to cheat in a small classroom. So you need to know the stuff they ask."
"What!?"
"Yes, it's even harder."
He sighed. "I'll never pass, I already read this page three times and I still don't get it."
"Well I'll help you study!" She smiled and blushed at the same time. Sakura, thank you, this was a great idea.
"OK! Thank you Hinata! I need the help."
"Well then, let's get started."
"Right! Hinata-sensei!"
Sensei? She blushed again.
The hours passed and Hinata kept making examples and simplifying everything the best she could. Miraculously Naruto was understanding everything.
"And then you must..."
"Wait Hinata!"
"Hmm?"
"Let's take a break."
"I guess a break is a good idea," she stretched a bit, "it's already dark outside." We have been at this for hours now, but it seemed like minutes to me. He really is understanding everything.
"Hey Hinata!"
"Yes!" She came down from her cloud.
"You like cinnamon rolls right?"
"Yes!" She said excitedly, she loved them.
"Good!" He answered energetically, making her laugh awkwardly when she noticed her own excitement.
"I bought some yesterday, let's eat! I need the energy."
She felt happy eating next to him, but the awkward silence bothered them both.
"So..." They spoke at the same time.
"Right, go ahead..." He really had nothing to say.
"Hmm..." She didn't have anything to say as well. I guess after my confession things are just a little too awkward.
After thanking him for the cinnamon rolls she sat down again in the middle of the floor where all the study papers were and organized them to finish explaining a few things they still hadn't study.
He watched her from the kitchen as he threw away the empty containers and smiled. He didn't know why, he just felt like smiling. She's really helping me, but she seems to be having fun.
She felt his eyes studying her and couldn't help but look back him. He looked to the other side, thankfully for him a window was there.
I must be imagining things, ok, she clapped her face, let's do this!
He walked back and sat next to her. "Where were we?"
Three hours passed and they were almost done, Hinata yawned. It was getting really late.
"Naruto, you have been very quiet for the past minutes, are you tired too?"
"She felt something fell over her shoulder." She slowly looked to the side.
"Naruto?" She smiled and blushed. He's so cute.
He had fallen asleep while sitting next to her. His face pillowed by her shoulder.
Shyly and slowly her hand reached his hair and stoked it a bit.
She sighed, this is almost a dream come true.
He moved around a bit in her shoulder and turned his face toward hers.
"Hmm... that's nice," he mumbled. Her eyes widened.
His eyes opened, "Hinata."
She gulped. "Yes?" He reached forward and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Thank you."
"I... I..." She couldn't think.
Then his eyes opened wider. I'm not asleep, this is the real Hinata! Damn! What am I doing?
"Hi.. Hinata, I'm so..."
"Hinata? Are you ok?" She fell backwards.
"No! She fainted! Hinata! Wake up, are you ok?"
And so the study session ended awkwardly after a small sample of sincere affection.
:D That is all...
Don't forget to review and until the next one!
