Missed
Hinata laid on her side, staring listlessly out her dark bedroom window and listening to each tick of the clock. At first, she hadn't been able to do much since Naruto had arrived earlier that day. She'd never been angrier with him than she had been that morning.
He had to report to the Hokage.
She should feel lucky that he came home first anyway.
She should be happy that he was back.
She should be happy…
She closed her eyes when the bedroom door finally opened. Naruto's footsteps were soft as he padded across the room. The bed dipped slightly as he laid beside her with a grunt. A strong arm wriggled its way around her waist, pulling her into an impossibly warm body but she didn't acknowledge the shift.
She didn't open her eyes.
Lips pressed kisses against the back of her shoulder before his nose buried into the crook of her neck.
"Hinata."
She didn't want to roll over but it was hard to stay angry at Naruto. At any moment he could be off saving the world again. Reluctantly she rolled to face him and found her fiancé already smiling at her in the dark.
"Hey." He said.
His voice was husky from fatigue, the flurry of activity from that day finally catching up to him. Hinata gave him a weak smile of her own, her heart clenching painfully as she did.
"Hey."
His warm hand pushed on her hip, urging her to lay on her back. He shifted to hover above her, spreading her legs slightly with one of his knees.
"I missed you." He whispered.
Did he? Did he miss her as much as she missed him? As wrong as it was...as much as she didn't want to think so...she knew that he hadn't. Swallowing her doubt, Hinata closed her eyes and allowed his kisses to take over the forefront of her mind.
