Naruto: College Day's

By Coly456

The next morning Hinata was woken by the smell of food. When she tried to move to get out of bed she realized the weight on her midsection. As she turned her head she saw Naruto sleeping soundly a slight snore coming from him.

Carefully she tried to lift his arm but as she slid out from under it he moved and groaned rolling over in the bed his eyes blinking open. His hand reached for the night stand next to him finding his phone.

"Only ten, fuck." He groaned out then turned her way and jumped slightly when his eyes met her.

"Good morning Naruto." She laughed at his shocked face.

"Good morning Hina, sorry didn't meant to cuss" he frowned as they sat up climbing out of the bed.

"Smells like granny Tsunade stayed the night." Naruto yawned as he opened the door for her.

"Smells like?"

"Oh, yeah Jiraiya only ever cooks breakfast when she spends the night." Naruto laughed as they headed down the stairs

When they walked into the kitchen the island was already covered with food, Hinata could hear voices coming from the back deck. Naruto made them both a plate as Hinata got them both some juice and they walked out onto the deck where Jiraiya, Tsunade, Sasuke and Sakura were all sitting.

"Where's everyone else?" Naruto asked as they sat down.

"TenTen works at her family's shop on Sundays so she, Neji and Lee left early. Ino and Sai got an Uber or something back to Campus, Kiba works at the pet shop today and he drove so all the guys who came with him left with him." Sakura explained then took a bite of pancakes moaning at how good they were. Both Naruto and Hinata tensed at the sound.

"What's wrong with you two?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow looming between the two of them, arms crossed leaning back in his chair "you look sick, Naruto."

Hinata glanced over to see he did indeed look pale like he had last night "just hung over, Tsunade makes very strong drinks." She said cause the older woman to laugh and Sakura to agree.

"Y-yeah just need to eat something, that's all." Naruto mumbled, eyes shifting between the couple across the table before he began to eat.

They stayed long enough to eat, change into some real clothes, Hinata was too embarrassed to go back to campus in Narutos shirt so she wore her dress and swimsuit again, and helped clean the dishes before they headed back.

"It bothers you that they are together." Hinata said, finally breaking the silence.

Naruto let out a breath with both hands tightening on the steering wheel.

"It shouldn't bother me, but yeah I guess it brings up shit memories from high school."

Hinata nodded looking out her window "I'm sorry that it does."

"No I'm sorry, I know I've been a little all over the place with my mood and actions." He paused, "I can't even really tell you why." He sighed and Hinata's heart clenched as she looked at his tense face and body. She could tell he was struggling, she reached over to place a hand on his leg.

"It's okay Naruto. We are friends though so if you ever need someone, I'm here." She whispered his only response was a nod.

"You told him what!?" Ino shouted later that day as the girls sat in their dorm.

"Hinata, you just friendzoned yourself!" Sakura said with a frown.

"I know, I knew it the moment the words came out but he's struggling with something, and I just wanted him to know I was there if he needed me."

There was a moment of silence as TenTen put her arm around the lavender eyed girl.

"It will be okay, and if not you maybe you'll find another guy. I happen to know that Kiba asked about you multiple times yesterday."

"Why?" Hinata frowned

"Well he thinks you're hot for one, and nice so I told him I'd send you his number." TenTen shrugged slightly "

"I don't know, isn't that strange talking to one of Naruto's friends?"

"Look, Naruto is great and we all think he likes you but maybe talking with Kiba won't be so bad. This way Naruto can hopefully get his shit together too." Sakura shrugged as TenTen sent Hinata Kibas number.

Hinata couldn't help but think she should tell Sakura what was bothering Naruto, but then she figured that was none of her business. She sent Kiba a text, and for the rest of the day and into the night they talked about his life and hers, and soon she had a date for next Friday.

On Monday when she walked into her business class she waited to see Naruto as well, but he never showed. When she got back to her dorm Sakura asked if she had heard from Sasuke or Naruto, apparently neither of them were in classes and Sakura couldn't get ahold of Sasuke on the phone.

"That's it." Sakura picked up her phone but Thursday when neither guy had responded to calls or texts, "I'm calling their house phone." She said putting the phone on speaker, as the phone rang she tapped her nails on the desk.

"Hello." Hinata could hear who sounded like Tsunade answered the phone though her voice was more hoarse.

"Hey, Tsunade why are you answering Jiriaya's phone?" Sakura frowned on her face and Hinata could feel the pit forming in her stomach.

There was a silence and a sob "Jiraiya is gone Sakura." Tsunade said

"What? We just saw him Sunday? What do you mean gone?" Sakura banked her voice cracking

"There was a home invasion Sunday night" Tsunade sobbed again.

"Tsunade, who are you talking to?"

"Sasuke!" Sakura yelled "what happened?" she asked again but this time the only answer was the tell tale sign of the phone hanging up. They all were frozen, TenTen stood in the doorway, Ino was sitting next to Hinata on the bed, Sakura in the desk chair. Tears broke loose from Hinata's eyes, just as Sakura crumpled over with a sob. TenTen managed to walk over and soon they were all huddled together on the floor crying.

Hinata had only met the man once, but her heart hurt for him, as well as for everyone he left behind.

Needless to say her first date was canceled.

The funeral came and went, Sasuke started coming around more, staying overnight with Sakura. Naruto kept to himself, though he still sat next to her in class, he didn't bring coffee like the first time and he barely spoke. Texting or calling him was pointless, he never answered them.

The months went by, and soon Kiba and Hinata finally had that date, and then another, and another. Then she was his girlfriend.

Hinata had to admit, Kiba was a good guy and cute. She enjoyed their dates. Enjoyed how he treated her, even enjoyed how they kissed.

The night of her first kiss the other girls almost passed out with excitement. The only thing she hoped, was that no one asked if she was over Naruto.

When winter break came almost everyone went home but Hinata decided to stay since her father was on a business trip and Hanabi was with her friend.

Kiba held her hand as they walked through the courtyard, walking her back to her dorm after another dinner. Hinata was nervous because she had invited him to stay the night since she knew no one would be there.

Sakura and Ino teased her over text about making sure she had a condom.

As they got into the room and took off their coats Kiba stepped closer to her smiling and taking her hands in his. He pulled her to him almost roughly startling her as they kissed walking towards the bed. Hinata moaned as Kibas hands found skin under her shirt sliding it up and over her head, she quickly did the same with his. As they kissed Hinata felt her body getting more turned on at the thought of where this was headed.

"You sure?" Kiba asked gruffly as he laid above her, both of them naked under her sheets, Hinata nodded, and just like that she was no longer a virgin.

More months passed, and the first year of college was over. Kiba andHinata dated all through summer, but when school was starting again they decided they were better friends. Hinata was happy to see that during the summer months Naruto started to get his glow back. Though Sasuke said, the holidays, and Naruto's birthday were bad. Hinata wondered how Sasuke could handle the death of the man who raised him to well, Sakura later told her that behind closed fires when the two were alone that wasn't always the case. He was staying strong in front of Naruto.

They spent a lot of time at Jiraiya- not Naruto's house since it was his parents- over the summer by the pool. Hinata felt strange going over and half expected Jiraiya to just pop in and scream surprise. Sakura said Tsunade hasn't been back since after the funeral.

Apparently Naruto wasn't dealing with that very well either, she's always been there and now she is gone too.
