Hinata wakes deep into the night and she extends her hand in search for Naruto's body, which she doesn't find. She sits in a second, her two hands now looking for Naruto, but he isn't there.

She looks around her, with sleep still in her eyes and she catches movement out in the garden. She crawls on all fours towards the sliding door and cracks it open to steal a glance.

Naruto is there, practicing forms under the moon, with his robe all loose around his body, with his breathing controlled, fine.

He looks fine, and Hinata's heart sings in happiness. Naruto stops mid movement and stares at her, and Hinata realizes she has already walked out to the garden on her own.

She stands in front of him, looks up and can't help the hand that moves to touch Naruto's face, as if to make sure this is not a dream. He presses his cheek to her palm, turns his head towards it.

"Hey," he greets, and his voice is deep and low and it makes Hinata feel warm all over. She clings to him, lets her hands circle his neck and rest her weight there. She presses her ear to his chest and the steady sound of his heart is enough to make her feel anxious all over again.

"Hey, you okay?" Naruto circles his arms around her waist and Hinata lets herself sink into him. The realization of this being a part of her life now, the realization that the fear of losing him has nestled itself deep inside her and that she knows it will never leave her is downright terrifying.

She knows she will love him more and more in the future and even thinking about what that entails is enough to freeze her in her spot. No.

"Hinata," Naruto whispers and she just nuzzles her face on his chest. What can she share that doesn't let out the fear that's swirling inside her?

"You were s-supposed to wake up in the evening."

Naruto crouches to bring one arm under her legs, stands with Hinata in his arms and smiles.

It breaks her heart.

"Gotta make sure next time I wake up in time, then, right?"

Naruto walks to the hallway next to their bedroom, lets Hinata down with care and even when she's fully seated, with her barefeet away from the cold grass, she doesn't let go.

Naruto looks at her, confused, slightly worried. "It's gonna be all right," he whispers. A secret between the two of them, but Hinata is starting to realize that Naruto is thinking more about her well-being than his. And she refuses to let go.

"Is it all right f-for you to be ex-exercising?"

Naruto kneels, and now he has to look up towards her. "Yes," his hands travel along her legs, her thighs, in a clumsy attempt at keeping her warm, "the seal has settled, I'm good to do everything like always."

Hinata cups Naruto's cheeks, drags her fingers along his whiskers. Three on each side. She kisses him on the lips, peppers kisses along the way to his cheek and rests her head on the nook of his neck.

"Dad will give a last check when he sees me tomorrow," Naruto says, knowing she's anxious for him. Feeling guilty that he's feeling happy for this. "We gotta get you inside," he says immediately after, as Hinata's skin is cooling too much. Her arms circle his neck and her legs clasp onto Naruto's waist.

"Okay."

Naruto stands with Hinata clinging to him. He supports her body with one hand at her back and one at her bottom. He wants to laugh, he's scared about the bubbly feeling that wants to get out, and as he knows Hinata is still too anxious about him he bites his lips, hides his smile on her hair.

He gets inside and presses his cheek to her head, battling with himself, because he should be more restless about this whole ordeal, but Hinata makes him forget everything and he just basks in her hands wrapped around his neck, in the way she doesn't want to let go. He kneels on their bed, careful, lets Hinata's body rest against the bedclothes and tries to put space between them. But Hinata doesn't let go.

Her arms are clasped still behind his neck, and Naruto can't help the snort that leaves him.

He forgets her anxiety, he forgets the pain, he forgets his own worries and falls into this. He tries to bite her arm, playful, and Hinata giggles. He falls to her, lays his lips on hers and feels his chest tighten as her mouth opens for him.

"Are you all r-right then?"

"Yes, love. I'm all right."

It's the way her hands drag down his neck and shoulders that make him lock eyes with her. It's the way she brings him to her again to place her lips over his that make him groan in anticipation, and it's the way her hands travel down to his abdomen that make him feel so incredibly glad he is who he is.

He never really thought he would get that.

Her hands move careful, and every muscle she touches tightens, every hair on his body stands and when she reaches his belt, his erection is rising to meet her too.

Hinata palms him and Naruto sees the blush blossoming on her cheeks and he pushes his hips towards her, earning a suprised face from her he realizes he loves. Her lips part and Naruto brings his lips closer to hers, brushing, barely touching, her gasps come and go and she grabs his shaft with a soft curiosity that makess Naruto whine in pleasure.

"I don't... should I j-just continue?"

Naruto lets out a yes between strained groans. Hinata's other hand drags over his chest, his arm, his shoulder and ends up at his face, his cheek. She caresses his whiskers again, like so many times before, Naruto presses into her hand, her thumb is close to his mouth and he bites on it, his teeth barely pressing on it.

Her hand moves up and down, with the slightest of pressures, and Naruto whispers for her to press harder. She tries, but her hand is still too soft for his liking so he moans and stands on his knees and Hinata follows. His knees touching her knees, with her hand pumping his erection while Naruto covers her hand and quickens her pace, presses into her hand.

Hinata stares at him, loses herself in between his moans and groans and as she gets closer to him, she rests her other hand on his thigh, searches for his face and kisses him. Naruto's eyes are closed shut, but he kisses her back with fervor, his hand digs into her arms and his forehead falls to her shoulder, there is a long drawn moan where his hand presses even harder into his penis and Hinata feels herself dripping in excitement.

"Fuck," he groans, repeats as his muscles tighten, as his hips stutter and Hinata feels warmth at her thighs, at her stomach, Naruto lets his head hang down and Hinata looks to her hand. There is semen leaking from him and dripping into his hand and hers, and the warmth she felt before are now white stains she cleans with her thumb. She wants... she wants him.

There is a moment where Naruto's pants are all she hears, a moment where the sweat running down his neck is everything she can look at. She gulps, and Naruto is kissing her immediately after. Insisting, with fervor, with want, and Hinata answers with the same energy. Hinata ends up sitting on top of him, her hands falling down his shoulders, massaging his scalp every now and then, in between moans and in between bites. The temperature rises, Naruto drags his hands wherever he can, buries his face in her chest and gives sloppy kisses, drags his tongue over her and then brings his lips to hers again. They separate, touch each other, then kiss again, it's never enough.

Naruto erection starts poking Hinata's thighs soon after and she knows what she needs. She tries to untangle her belt, but gives up halfway through, as the knot is too stubborn for her, and she doesn't have the patience now. She brings her hand to Naruto's penis and pumps, just like he did before. His mouth opens, his chest deflates in a moan Hinata can't catch. She stands on her knees, moves her robe away and gets closer, her chest touching his chest, his open mouth touching hers. Hinata starts to take off her underwear and Naruto's hand come up with the speed of light to help her get out of it, he lays flat on the floor and raises his hips to do the same. When he sits again, his hands find her lower back, her buttocks, and he caresses.

It's Hinata who aligns her entrance with him, it's Hinata who guides Naruto's erection inside of her, it's Hinata who digs into Naruto's shoulders as he enters her, slowly, careful. It touches her in ways Hinata hadn't felt before, and it's enough to make her stop midways and shiver.

"I know," Naruto whispers, his hands supporting some of her weight. His eyes are half-lidded and drunk in sex, and Hinata kisses him, bites into his lip as she continues going down.

Naruto covers her in her arms the moment her thighs rest on his, "relax," he whines, because her muscles tighten around him enough for him to need to breathe in and out in order to control himself. His hands dance around her waist, the need to grab and push growing stronger. Hinata kisses his neck, sucks on his skin and the distraction is enough. He digs his hand in her hair, now billowing behind her back, and he grabs, not to hurt, but to hold. Hinata moves her head back with ease and Naruto devours her lips. Their saliva drips down her chin and Naruto bites her jaw, licks her neck, and raises his hips without meaning to.

Hinata tightens and Naruto holds her close to him, groans into her chest while Hinata supports her weight on his forearms and brings herself up. Naruto brings her down on him and their pants intertwine. It's a tug and pull that never ends, her chest bounces all over the place and Naruto rests his face right in the middle of them, with his mouth dropping kisses every now and then that make Hinata tremble.

There are thoughts of this being indecent and crude in Hinata's mind, but Naruto's arms are tight around her, and his hips trying to follow her up are enough for Hinata to put them away. He wants this. He wants her.

But even more importantly, so does Hinata.

Naruto sets space between them, grabs her waist with his hands and angles himself to control his thrusts easier, but his hips stutter without restraint and he rests his weight on the floor, stares at Hinata riding him and digs his fingers deeper into her skin.

Hinata comes first, with her arms on Naruto's, with his hands pushing her into him, with his azure eyes drilling themselves into her. Hinata comes and her whole body shudders, her legs close as she climaxes and she can feel herself tightening around him, her mouth wide open, she falls into him and she feels him come.

Her robe is completely open, it falls into her arms and falls behind her like some kind of halo. Her breasts bounce and Naruto sears the sight into his mind. She comes, and falls to him, her face a mask of ecstasy. It's the way she gasps over him and the moans that follow as she closes her legs over him, with her vagina tightening around him as if trying to entice him into cumming that undo him. He feels himself spilling.

Hinata drags her hand over his chest, gives lazy kisses wherever her mouth reaches. She stands on her knees, with her knees trembling and Naruto's penis falls with a wet sound that makes them lock eyes immediately. He looks like a painting, with his chest heaving, sweat glistening, and the traces of their lovemaking surrounding his pelvis. His penis is washed in semen and Hinata's own fluids. He raises on one arm and Hinata finds him midway, their kiss is needy.

Long nights are to be enjoyed.
