As my last Naruto one-shot got some nice feedback, I decided to write another one. The idea to write about a couple sleeping in a bed together, without any mature or explicit things going on came from my fiancée's bff.
Naruto stared across the training field at Hinata as she practised her gentle fist technique. He smiled as he watched her move gracefully, striking at the practice post with precision and skill. Ever since the chunin exams years ago, he had started to see Hinata in a different light. No longer was she just the shy, quiet girl who spoke so softly. She had grown into a strong, confident woman who still maintained her kind heart and humble nature.
As he continued to observe her training, Naruto thought back to how she had always believed in him, even when no one else did. She had been one of the few to recognize his potential and inner strength. And during Pain's invasion, she had bravely stood up to protect him, willing to sacrifice herself for his sake. That was when he realized the depth of her feelings and affection for him.
After the war ended, they had grown closer, spending more time together between missions. Hinata began to open up more around him, laughing at his jokes and supporting him in his dream to become Hokage. Naruto found he could talk to her about anything and she never judged him. She saw him for whom he truly was.
She beamed and nodded, hurriedly gathering her things before joining him.
It was a clear, moonlit night as Naruto and Hinata strolled through the quiet streets of Konoha, hand-in-hand. They had just enjoyed a late dinner at Naruto's favourite ramen shop to celebrate Hinata's recent promotion to jonin.
As they approached Naruto's flat, Hinata felt a nervous fluttering in her stomach. They had been dating for a few months now and she knew where things were heading. Though she was anxious, she also felt a thrill at taking this next step in their relationship.
At the door, Naruto gave her a gentle, reassuring smile. "Would you like to come in?" Hinata nodded, blushing faintly.
Once inside, Naruto showed her around the modest flat. When they got to the bedroom, a sudden shyness overtook them both. Their eyes met briefly before glancing away.
"I'll just get ready for bed then," Naruto mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck. He went into the adjoining bathroom to change and brush his teeth.
Alone, Hinata looked around the room, lit only by moonlight streaming in through the window. She neatly folded her clothes and slipped under the covers wearing a lavender silk nightgown. Her heart pounded in anticipation.
Naruto emerged in a t-shirt and pyjama pants. He slid into bed next to her, careful to leave a bit of space between them. They lay stiffly side-by-side in silence for a few moments.
As they lay in bed together, Naruto propped himself up on one elbow and gently caressed Hinata's face, brushing a strand of hair away from her eyes. Though they had shared many intimate moments before, he felt a flutter of nervousness about having her here with him like this for the first time.
Hinata gazed up at him, her pale eyes full of tenderness and longing. She reached up to pull him closer, her fingertips tracing delicate patterns on the back of his neck. Naruto leaned in slowly until their lips met in a soft, tentative kiss. Both of their hearts raced at this delicate new expression of their love.
They kissed again, more deeply this time. Hinata sighed blissfully as Naruto's arms encircled her, holding her close against his muscular chest. Though she had loved him for so long, being with him like this exceeded all her imaginings. His strong yet gentle embrace made her feel cherished in a way she had never known before.
Naruto marvelled at the feel of Hinata's body nestled against his own. Her graceful curves moulded perfectly to him, like corresponding pieces of a puzzle. He had never felt as comfortable and content with anyone else. As they parted from their kiss, he nuzzled his face affectionately into her hair, breathing in her floral scent.
Hinata trailed her fingers languidly up and down Naruto's back, revelling in the closeness they shared. She placed a line of tender kisses along his jaw as he hummed in pleasure. All her life, she had longed to be this close to him, to express with her body the love that had always filled her heart.
As Hinata curled up against Naruto's chest, he tenderly brushed over her bare arms with the back of his fingers. "Your skin is so soft," he murmured in awe.
Hinata smiled shyly at the compliment. "Your touch is so warm," she whispered back, splaying her fingers across his broad shoulders.
Naruto leaned in and brought his lips to hers in a deep, lingering kiss. As they parted, he gazed into her pale eyes, seeing the love and trust shining in them. "I've never felt this close to anyone before," he said.
"Neither have I," Hinata agreed, lightly tracing her fingertips along his jawline. "Being here with you like this...it's like a dream."
Naruto smiled and squeezed her tighter. "I never want to wake up from this dream, either."
Hinata nuzzled against his neck, breathing in his comforting scent. The warmth of his body enveloped her completely. "I didn't know it was possible to feel so safe and loved," she murmured.
"You better believe it," Naruto grinned. "I'll always be here to keep you safe." He leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.
Hinata tilted her face up towards his for another sweet kiss. Then she settled back down with her head resting over his steadily beating heart. As she drifted off, she whispered, "Goodnight, Naruto. I love you."
Naruto tenderly stroked her long, dark hair. "Goodnight, Hinata. I love you too," he whispered before also falling into a deep, peaceful sleep, still cradling her in his arms.
Pale morning light filtered into the bedroom as Hinata slowly awoke. During the night, she and Naruto had shifted positions but remained wrapped up in each other's arms. Her head was tucked under Naruto's chin, her body pressed fully against his. Their legs were intertwined beneath the blankets.
She smiled contentedly, cherishing the warmth and closeness. Naruto's steady breathing tickled her ear. She ran her hand lightly across his chest, tracing the contours of his muscles. Even in sleep, he held her in a protective, loving embrace.
As pale sunlight filtered into the room, Naruto awoke to the soothing sensation of Hinata's fingers lightly trailing up and down his back. Keeping his eyes closed, he focused on the feel of her body fitted perfectly against his own, her curves moulded to him beneath the sheets.
He tightened his arms around her, one hand splayed across the small of her back, the other buried in her long, dark tresses. Hinata made a small noise of contentment, nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck. Naruto could feel her warm breath tickling his skin, sending a tingle down his spine.
Her fingertips continued their unhurried exploration, tracing delicate patterns on his shoulders, arms, and chest. Naruto breathed deeply, inhaling her sweet floral scent. He caressed the silky skin of her back, then brought his hand around to gently cup her cheek.
At his touch, Hinata lifted her face as he leaned in for a slow, sweet kiss. Her full lips were soft and inviting against his own. When they finally parted, Naruto gazed into her pale eyes, getting lost in their tranquil depths.
"I don't ever want to leave this bed," he murmured, rolling onto his back and pulling her along with him. Hinata settled against his side, resting her head on his chest as he stroked her hair. She draped her arm across his torso, tangling their legs together.
"Alright, five more minutes," she sighed blissfully, snuggling into him. Naruto smiled and held her close, continuing to leisurely trail his fingers up and down her arm.
They lay wrapped up in each other, blissfully unaware of the morning light brightening around them. The outside world could wait – right now, all that existed was their shared warmth and the steady rhythm of each other's heartbeats.
After a while spent cuddling, Hinata gently extracted herself from Naruto's embrace. "I should make us some breakfast," she said softly.
Naruto immediately missed her warmth, but the thought of her homemade cooking made his stomach rumble. "That sounds amazing," he grinned.
Hinata slid out of bed, the thin lavender nightgown skimming her curves. Naruto's eyes followed her, drinking in how the soft fabric clung to her body. She looked so beautiful and he felt a tingle race through him.
Catching his stare, Hinata smiled shyly. "I'll just be in the kitchen," she said.
"I'll be right here admiring you," Naruto winked.
Hinata laughed, her cheeks flushing pink. She leaned down to give him one more lingering kiss before slipping out of the bedroom.
Naruto sighed happily, thinking how perfectly right it felt to have Hinata here in his flat, cooking breakfast in his kitchen. He could definitely get used to waking up like this every morning.
After a while, the delicious scents of eggs, rice and miso soup wafted into the bedroom. Naruto's stomach grumbled impatiently. He rolled out of bed and pulled on some clothes before padding eagerly to the kitchen.
Hinata stood at the stove, her hair pulled back as she stirred the soup pot. Two full plates of food sat waiting on the counter. Naruto came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"It smells so good, Hinata," he murmured, nuzzling her neck. She leaned back into him with a contented hum, savouring this domestic bliss.
After enjoying the delicious breakfast Hinata had prepared, Naruto helped clean up the dishes. As Hinata dried the last plate, Naruto came up behind her and embraced her once more.
"That was the best breakfast ever," he said, kissing her cheek.
Hinata smiled, leaning back into him. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."
Naruto turned her around to face him, looking into her pale eyes. "Having you here this morning...it just felt so right. Like this is how it's meant to be."
He took her hands in his, his expression serious. "I know it's only our first night together, but...I don't ever want to be apart from you again."
Hinata's eyes widened at his bold words. Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest.
Naruto gave a small, nervous laugh. "I mean, maybe that's too much too soon. But what I'm trying to say is, I love you, Hinata. And last night only made me realize how much I want to be with you always."
Hinata threw her arms around his neck. "Oh Naruto, I feel the exact same way! I never want to leave your side, either."
Naruto hugged her tight, relief and joy washing over him. He picked her up and spun her around, making her giggle.
"So I guess this means you'll stay over more often?" he asked with a grin.
Hinata smiled radiantly. "Definitely. As often as you'll have me."
They kissed passionately, both incredibly happy to start this wonderful new chapter together.
