As the morning sun gently streamed through the curtains, Hinata and Naruto slowly opened their eyes, finding themselves wrapped in each other's arms. They exchanged sleepy smiles and revealed the warmth and comfort of their embrace.
Hinata's eyes softened as he kissed her forehead, he chuckled as he heard her squirm and hide
under the covers. "It's too early" She whined while peeking her head out of the blanket.
"It's almost noon, we should get up," He says and sits up while strengthening, peeking her head out she catches a glimpse of his back and her eyes widen as she sits up to tough the marks.
"Oh Kami, Does it hurt? Where's your first aid kit?" Naruto said as she got off the bed her legs wobbled on the floor, Before she could fall Hinata caught her.
"Hey, it's fine but you need to take it easy you're going to be sore for a few days" Hinata picked up her ease as he walked towards the restroom and placed her on the toilet.
"But you're back-" He silenced her with a kiss, she pouted when he pulled away and he kissed her again "You can put the ointment on my back after we take a shower.
Naruto nodded while pouting, her arms crossed and head high and everything. Hinata shook his head as he pressed a kiss against her cheek.
He smirked seeing the blush bloom on her face, Hinata moved the sliding door as he turned on the water fixing it so it would be warm.
Hinata helps Naruto up on shaky legs onto the restroom.
She let out a sigh of relief as the warm water ran down her back. She raised an eyebrow when she saw him close the door.
"Aren't you getting in?" she asks while rolling her neck, He tries not to stare but the marks on her neck and skin make him feel a sense of pride.
"In a minute, I'm going to find us some clothes" Naruto nods as she closes her eyes. Naruto let out a small sigh before flinching as hands grasped her hips.
She turned her eyes meeting Hinata's before leaning back into his hold, she moaned softly as Hinata massaged her hips.
"Better?" She nodded softly, Naruto turned and squeezed some mint coconut body wash onto the scrubber and started scrubbing his chest.
"I'm sorry about your back" Hinata smirked as he held her chin.
"It's fine, you couldn't help yourself with all the pleasure I was giving you" Naruto slapped his chest lightly.
"Okay Jackass you can scrub your own back," She says while turning her long hair and smacking him in the face.
"Hey don't be like that" he moved her hair to slightly drag his lips down her warm neck.
Naruto and Hinata stood beneath the warm cascade of water, their laughter mingling with the rhythmic pattern of droplets on the tiled floor. The steam enveloped them, creating an intimate cocoon in their shared sanctuary.
Hinata reached for the shampoo, his fingers briefly tangling with Naruto's as they exchanged a knowing smile. He lathered her hair with gentle strokes, the scent of jasmine filling the air. Naruto closed her eyes, relishing the sensation as his hands massaged her scalp.
She did the same, while gently scrubbing his back that was marked because of her, she would kiss every mark softly, and Hinata's heart would swell with every kiss. Drops of water glistened on Naruto's skin, a testament to the intimacy they cherished in these stolen moments of togetherness.
As the water cascaded down, Hinata traced a trail of kisses along Naruto's neck, the intimacy between them deepening. Within the confines of their private world, the symphony of water and hushed whispers.
Naruto stood as Hinata helped dry her hair, she couldn't help but focus on the rapid beat of her heart, he had never felt this way except for Ino and it wasn't as intense. She was afraid to ask where this relationship was going but he did say he wanted strings.
But did he mean as a sneaky link? Or as an actual relationship?
When Hinata stopped drying her long hair, Naruto did this while standing on her tippy toes, her towel holding everything together as he was on his waist.
"Do you have a blow dryer?" Hinata gave her a look and she laughed while he reached for his college sweatshirt and joggers, offering them to her. "Here, you can change into these," he said with a soft, affectionate voice.
Naruto gratefully accepted Hinata's clothes and began changing. She slipped into the oversized sweatshirt and joggers.
"Thanks, and you're okay with me borrowing these? Even your boxers?" she whispered the last part, He smiled and leaned into a kiss against her cheek, causing her whiskered cheeks to glow.
"Yes it's fine and I figured you would be more comfortable with something rather than nothing, and I can ask next door if they have a dryer" Naruto smiled and leaned on her tippy toes to kiss his lips.
"Thank you, I appreciate it." He smiled and pulled on his top and a pair of joggers. Naruto was secretly hoping his neighbor wasn't a girl or gay, because of the way his muscles ripped and flexed with that tight shirt, she didn't want others to see.
Yet he did have a few hickey's on his neck so she didn't mind as much.
Naruto pulled on the clothes Hinata gave her and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as he gave her a bra from last night and not just any bra it was her good one. She felt like wearing her sports one.
He came back and shook his head, She shrugged her shoulders while flipping her hair to finish drying it.
Hinata leaned back against the doorway and watched, he couldn't help but notice something different about Naruto. He saw a hint of red peeking through the roots of her hair.
"I noticed how long you keep your hair, it's beautiful but do you have red hair peeking out?" Curiosity piqued him and she turned towards him.
" I was born with naturally red hair on the haft of a side of my head. But when my parents passed, I've been dying it blonde because…Ino told me I should. He said I would look more beautiful that way."
Hinata's eyes widened with surprise, but his expression quickly softened into one of understanding. As he gently caressed her cheek, he said, "Naruto, you are stunning just as you are. Your natural red hair is part of who you are, and it's beautiful. You do not need anyone's approval or opinions to be beautiful."
A genuine smile spread across Naruto's face as she pulled her hair back into a messy bun. After she was done she grinned and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You wanna see what I looked like before I dyed it?" He grinned and nodded as his hands were placed on her hips.
"Ablosulty, while I put my sheets to wash, your clothes we could eat breakfast at dinner" She smiled and kissed him. She yelped as she was picked up and placed over his shoulder.
"Hey!, what are you doing?" Hinata grabbed his keys and wallet while slipping on his shoes, he carried her over his shoulder while giving her his sandals as he gently placed her back down.
"Enjoying the fact that you look adorable pouting" This caused her to pout and he laughed, kissing her lips.
Hinata held out his arm and Naruto grumbled as she raised her chin while grasping his arm. They walked out the front door and into the car. Hinata chuckled as Naruto grumbled the whole way there. Once they arrived, Hinata opened the door for her and helped her out of the car.
They held hands while walking into a diner, Naruto loved the aesthetic of the old restaurant, and they sat in a booth, it was nice and quiet Hinata thought this would be a good idea to get to know the pretty girl before him.
"So you going to show me that photo?" he says with a raise of his eyebrow and Naruto laughs as she shakes her head, she pulls out her phone manages to grab and opens a photo.
Her eyes soften as if it was a photo of her and her parents, her eyes get teary as she shows Hinata, that photo she remembers clearly.
It was her first day of pre-school and she was holding both of her parents handsome but her father had been crying while her mother waved goodbye. It was so sweet she hadn't been alone that's probably why she wasn't crying.
Quickly she wiped her tears before Hinata could see, but when he looked up she turned away as he held her hand.
"You look like your mom, she is gorgeous just like you. I would have loved to meet your parents" Naruto's eyes softened as she bit her lip, she laid her head against her shoulder.
"They would have loved to meet you, well my dad probably would have tried to intimidate you but I hardly doubt he would because of my mom" He chuckled as he raised her chin with his thumb.
"Would he now? Tell me more about them" Naruto smiled and Hinata let her talk about her parents while showing him photos until their food had arrived.
"What about you? your parents, siblings?" Hinata's eyes softened and he told her all about his home life, the death of his mother, and how strict his father became after she died. Naruto learned he has a little sister and he's in his final year of business school as he got his masters.
"Your father must have been tough to live with" He breathed in a sigh and he cut into his sunny side-up eggs with his fork.
"Yeah I'm glad I moved out I don't think I could handle living with him breathing down my neck, but he is less strict with my sister so I'm glad she has it better" Naruto nodded and smiled as a nother thought came to mind.
"What about Hockey? How does he feel about it?" Naruto asks as she takes big bites of her fluffy pancakes while taking a sip of her frappuccino.
Hinata smiled as he wiped the whipped cream off her lips and licked the bit on his finger. "He was excited about it, I think mostly because he played during college also but now and then he gets nervous about how dangerous it could be"
"He has a point to worry you know, Hinata babe you could get seriously injured" Hinata is taken aback but his own heart starts rapidly beating, they are already on nicknames.
"You have nothing to worry about Naru, I will be fine," He says while hugging her, and Naruto hugs back but gently slap his head.
"I'm still going to worry, you have to tell me when you're hurt" He chuckles as he kisses her forehead, he can't count how many times he kissed her this morning, Hinata couldn't help it.
"I will, I still can't believe half of your hair is red" she laughs and touches the top bringing out the small red strands with her fingers.
"I have been wanting to cut it so I can donate it, maybe I should re-dye half of my hair to my natural color" Hinata lifted a piece of her hair before raising her hand to kiss her wrist.
He pulled back with a smile "You do whatever you want" She smiled, kissing his chin. A waiter came by and Hinata confidently ordered a cinnamon frappuccino, much to Naruto's surprise.
"Cinnamon? I thought you were more of a black coffee kind of guy," she remarked, raising an eyebrow.
Hinata chuckled and shrugged. "I like to switch it up sometimes. Plus, I have a sweet tooth."
Naruto nodded, understanding his point. She did love sweet drinks but only in her coffee, Naruto laid her head against the counter with a smile on her face as she stared up at Hinata.
Hinata looked down and raised his finger to gently rub at her bottom lip "What are you smiling about?"
The way her dimples got deeper as she closed her eyes and smiled made his heart thump loudly in his chest, Hinata looked down as he kissed her forehead he couldn't help it. She was just so beautiful.
Naruto opened her eyes and smiled at the tickling feeling of his kiss. When their drinks were finally ready, Hinata took a sip of his and let out a contented sigh. "This is perfect," he said, a satisfied smile on his face.
"The drink?" She said with a giggle, Hinata looked at her with a smirk "No but you are" Naruto rolled her eyes before taking a sip of her drink and couldn't help but agree. The rich, chocolatey flavor was exactly what she needed.
As they continued to chat, Hinata reached over and dipped his fingers into the whipped cream on top of Naruto's drink. Before she could protest, he placed a dollop on her lips and leaned in to kiss it off.
Naruto's heart fluttered at the unexpected gesture, and she couldn't help but laugh as she wiped the remaining whipped cream from her lips.
"You're such a weirdo," she teased, shaking her head in amusement.
Hinata grinned, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Just adding a little sweetness to your day." They both laughed, enjoying the lighthearted moment before diving into their caffeine drinks and continuing their conversation.
Hinata checked his watch and sighed, even though they were off from school because it was the weekend but he still had practice.
"I hate to cut this short, but I've got practice in half an hour," he said regretfully, Naruto nodded they were hand in hand.
Naruto nodded as she looked at the passing cars. "No worries. Thanks for dropping me off." Hinata pulled up in front of Naruto's dorm and turned off the ignition. He turned to her with a smile.
"I had a great time with you," he said earnestly. "I'll wash your clothes and be back as soon as I can, I promise." Naruto felt her cheeks flush at his words, but she smiled back at him. "I'll hold you to that," she said, feeling a flutter of excitement at the thought of seeing him again.
She stayed silent, he had walked her to her dorm but even though he sounded sincere she wouldn't know.
If she was being played or if she wasn't, Naruto was so happy that she had forgotten that it would end.
Hinata leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips, causing her heart to skip a beat. They lingered in the moment, before reluctantly pulling away.
"See you soon," Hinata said, giving her a wink before she rolled her eyes
Naruto couldn't stop smiling as she watched him drive away. She felt a warmth in her chest As she walked into her dorm. As she walked into her single Naruto slipped off the shoes and Clicked on the answering machine.
Naruto moved her neck around as she took sips of her coffee. Naruto shimmers off the joggers as she listens to different voicemails.
"Hey crazy night huh?, look I'm sorry for what happened yesterday I was drunk but you had no right to slap me, you also did it in front of everybody"
"Hey it's Shika, I hope everything is okay please call me when you get this"
Naruto closed her eyes while rubbing her temples. She felt guilty for not calling Shikamaru and Ino filling up her answering machine made it worse.
She pressed off the answering Machine and sent a quick text to Shikamaru before dropping into her bed in nothing but Hinata's boxers and his sweatshirt.
Hey loves lemme know what you think ?
