A/N: I blame the existence of this fic (that I should not be writing because I have a fuckton of uni work to finish) on Rethaniel from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend from reviving my cheesy love for workplace romance.


Part One

"Hinata?"

She jumped awake and stared horrified at his kind smile, missing instantly the weight of the hand that rested briefly on her shoulder while he tried to wake her.

"I'm s-sorry" she felt so ashamed, she couldn't believe she fell asleep on her table like that. "I know it's no excuse, b-but think I didn't sleep well last n-night and-"

"Slow down'ttebayo!" He let out a throaty laugh. "I'm not here to accuse you of anything. To be fair, I'm really surprised you are still here. It's almost one a.m., I thought there was only me here."

"Oh... I was..." She hid a yawn behind her hand. "I was waiting for you."

"Hinata..." He frowned as she nervously started gathering her things from the table. "You really shouldn't. Your family must be worried..."

She stood up and smiled softly without looking at him directly.

"They are not. Did you... Did you finish? I will help you! I mean, if I can, I should had been helping you all this time, shouldn't I? That's why you are here until this late, because your useless secretary can't even do her job."

Her cheeks were red and puffy as she stared at him with a glint of maniac despair in her eyes. To think she was asleep moments ago, some energizing nap that was, he repressed the urge do smile at her antics.

"Wow, Hinata, just, wow! Are you ok? Why are you being so hard on yourself? You are the best secretary anyone could ask for, none of your said is true at all. Actually, I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you and Shikamaru with me. And to be true, I wasn't working... Not really... I was just avoiding going home and I took a nap on my table too for a little bit."

She deflated like a balloon filled with sadness instead of helium.

"I'm sorry..."

Now he couldn't help smiling, and put a hand over her shoulder.

"What are you sorry for?"

"I don't know, I just..."

He have seen that before, how she retracted inwards like a wounded snail when feeling insecure, he wasn't having that tonight.

"Hey, are you hungry?"

"What?"

"I'm kinda peckish. Do you think we can find anything open?"

He glanced over the window.

"I... I think there's a new food machine on the corner of the street."

He beamed.

"Great!"

"Are you sure your family won't be worried for you staying out so late?" He asked with a mouth stuffed with dry ramen noodles. "I'm quite expecting some sort of super scary Neji-like guy coming to get you."

She lowered her head to hide a little smile.

"No, no I don't get those anymore."

"Why not?"

He offered his cup of raw ramen to her, but she declined choosing to keep munching her M&M's.

"Since I resigned from my ninja career and got an office job I was invited to leave home and the Hyuuga clan actually, but I can't, I have the byakugan and I am well... My father's daughter... So I'm still Hinata Hyuuga for now, I haven't been sealed, for now, but I don't get bodyguards anymore and I can stay late as much as I want."

"Oh... I didn't know any of that. How didn't I know any of that? You are my friend, you are my secretary, I'm the Hokage!"

"It's not something you should be concerning yourself with Hokage-sama, you know how my clan is we don't like to make a big deal of things..."

"You are a big deal for me, Hinata! W-well everybody on this village is... But you should have told me."

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama."

"Like before, you have nothing to be sorry for... I'm the one in the wrong here. It must had been hard to you."

"I bit. I guess." She played with the plastic package of her candy. "But I also feeling unburdened for the first time in my life."

"Yeah, you family is a piece of work, I remember from the chunnin exams. Boy, that was ages ago. Do you remember how young we were? And I was such a brat!"

"You were not..." He didn't expect the found in her expression, her face turned forward, away from his as she looked at their shared past. "And..." her cheeks were redder than before and not just because of the weather or the couple of beers they drank each "I looked up to you a lot". She giggled and the sound made his belly feel weird, like there were bubbles inside him instead of the snacks and the alcohol they got from the machines. "Before you were the village's hero, you were mine..." she took a sip from her beer and then realizing what she just said she choked "I mean my hero, not m-m-my."

He chuckled, she was so cute.

"But Hinata, I was a loser then."

"But you were a proud one, you never let anyone bring you down, you never gave up, you just kept fighting, and look at you now!"

He stared at her for a few moments, and to his surprise she held the gaze, her expression fierce, her cheeks redder than ever. She was drunk, and after just two bottles, a lightweight drinker. She would remember none of this tomorrow.

And that's maybe why he did it.

He closed the space between them and kissed her.

It was a closed mouth kiss, and it was meant to be fast because he knew that was wrong milliseconds before touching her, but when he did. When the felt how bitter and sweet from the beer and snacks she tasted, and how so, so soft she felt, he stayed and, surprising him another time, so did she.

When he drew back, an apology on the tip of his tong, she still had her eyes closed, and she sighed. He swallowed the apology and it made bubbles even bigger on his stomach. She opened her eyes, they looked like half-moons floating in the dark ocean of her lashes. She licked her lips, he swallowed again, then opened his mouth to say something, but gave up and just leaned towards her again, his hands cupping the nape of her head, her lips parting to receive his, her hand snaking to his arm, the click of the empty bottle rolling to the floor.

He woke up in a bed that definitively was not his, it was too clean and the sheets had no obnoxious print on it, also the mattress as softer and the air smelt like flowers.

"Oh... You are awake. G-good morning."

She was half-ready for work, but she was still suffering from a serious case of bed hair that became even more obvious now she wore it short again, she also was wearing a pair of fluffy slippers and there was a huge mug in her hand.

"Good morning'ttebayoo... What time is it?" He raised his upper body noticing as the comfort fell and exposed his naked chest that he was wearing nothing beneath it.

"Almost seven and a half."

He noticed how her face went pink as her eyes wandered over his exposed chest and images of the night before flooded his head, specially those in which he found out the extent of her body through that pinkness spread.

Then he noticed his other morning companion. Oh noes.

"I... I think it's better if I leave first. I'm almost ready to go anyway."

"You should have awakened me earlier, Hinata."

Hinata who used that morning to memorise every freckle of his sleeping face didn't agree and didn't respond to that.

"I've left some coffee and rice in the kitchen, and the spare key you can put under the flower pot. I'm leaving now."

He tried to get up to reach her but then remembered he was naked. A voice inside his head commented that she had already seen everything, but he ignored it and just firmly held the flowered comfort.

"Hinata, can we talk about this?"

She didn't turn to him.

"Y-yes. Later."

And then she was gone.

Work went normal. When he got there, almost one hour late from doing her dishes and hitting home to change clotting, she was sitting at her usual place working, and greeted him with a soft "Good morning, Hokage-sama" as if nothing had happened between them. It burst some of the bubbles in his stomach.

The day was so utterly ordinary that he almost forgot the night before. The weird conversation under the lamp light, the beers they shared, the sweetness of her lips and the tangy of her folds as she crushed his head between her tights. Well, maybe he didn't forget it at all.

Finally, the work day was done, not that he did actual work that day at all. He kept looking at the door, whishing he could see through it and finding ridiculous excuses to go outside and walk past her, he went to de bathroom seventeen times and bought instant ramen five times, at end of the day he was feeling nauseous and he couldn't say if it was pure tension or just too much food. He was just glad that Shikamaru was out on a mission and didn't see that. He was also sorry for the same reason because he could use the advice, an at the same time he felt like he couldn't talk about what happened between him and Hinata with anyone. It was so weird, he never felt so nervous after sleeping with anyone before. Maybe it was because of how his last relationship ended. If you could call that a relationship.

It was almost nine o'clock when she entered his room, her eyes focussing everywhere but him.

"You s-said you wanted to see me."

He got up from his table, his hands on his pockets, he walked towards her in silence.

"I want to apologise. I shouldn't have taken advantage of you last night. I was sad, you were drunk. It wasn't fair dattebayo… And if you don't want to work here anymore, I'll fully understand."

"You didn't." Was what she finally said after a long silence that made his guilty grow so big it almost crushed him on the spot.

"What."

"You didn't t-take advantage of me. I… I wanted that. I was the one to invite you to my house, remember?"

Well, that was true.

"But still… Hinata…"

"I wasn't that drunk. I'm actually usually much a heavier drinker than I was last night. I know what I was doing."

Well, that was some interesting information.

"But if you want me to find a job somewhere else I will understand, but can I stay until then? It will be hard to pay rent otherwise…"

"Hey, Hinata, you don't have to go anywhere if you don't want to! I just thought… If you felt uncomfortable…"

"I'd like to stay if it's possible then."

"Of course'ttebayo! Actually, I was very worried that you would want to go, where would I find such a good secretary?"

He gave her his trademark Uzumaki a thousand watt smile, she smiled back and they shared a little moment, until her eyes doped from his to his lips, he followed the gaze and swallowed hard, remembering how the night before she bit and sucked his bottom lip so much that he still felt it a little sore.

Unconsciously he stepped forward, almost invading her personal space. But she was the one to talk first.

"Why were you sad?" She whispered.

"I don't wanna to talk about it right now."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't snoop in…"

Her eyes dropped to the floor and she threatened to leave, but he stopped her by putting a hand on her waist.

He could feel the goosebumps going through her skin.

"Hinata… I…"

What was fucking wrong with him? He had just apologized for this kind of stuff!

But she was giving him the half-moon look again.

"Tell me if this is ok."

She crossed the imaginary line between them, there was now only a thin layer of air separating their bodies.

"It is."

And next thing he knew, she was laying in his table, most of the important papers on the floor with pens, scrolls and empty ramen cups. His hands holding hers to the shaking table, her teeth biting his shoulder and his hips been held by the firm grip of her legs pushing him closer and deeper.


A/N:I have no idea of the part two, that I hope, will be the last of this fic will come, but I pretty sure think that some comments might me want to write it sooner than later.

And as you gather from the porn without plot without porn tag I have no idea of how to write smut, so don't wait for it.
I hope everybody who read until here enjoyed the ride.
See ya.
