Naruto laid in the meadow staring at the clouds, like Shikamaru had done so often. He wondered what Shikamaru had found so neat about it, because he just couldnt seem to find out. He thought it was outrageously boring. He was much more the type to be running around like a spidermonkey than to be daydreaming.
Just as Naruto was about to run of and find something to vandalize, Hinata plopped down beside him.
" Oh hey Hinata....Watcha doing out here?" the blonde boy asked.
"Uh...Well. I, uh, brought you a bento box. I saw you didnt get anything to eat for lunch," Her face was flushed, as usual.
" Well...Thanks. Stay here if you dont mind," Naruto asked Hinata.
Little did the two know, Sakura and Kakashi were hiding it the bushes, just meters away. Sakura wanted Hinata and Naruto together, because Hinata was a great girl, and she deserved Naruto, after all the hell he had put her through. Kakashi on the other hand was just spying for the hell of it.
"You are the only one who has brought me any lunch. Thanks," Naruto said while stuffing his face with ramen that Hinata had oh-so-kindly brought.
"Y-Youre welcome. You deserve it..." She said, almost regretting saying it.
"Hm? What do you mean?" Naruto questioned.
"Well, y-you work so hard, s-so it is almost natural y-you deserve it..." Hinata was nervous, very nervous.
Naruto emraced Hinata, making her face flush a deeper pink than it was already.
"N-Naruto, what are you-"
"Hinata, Im in love with you," Naruto confessed, tightening his hold around her.
"So do I Naruto..I just havent ever h-had the courage to tell you," Hinata replied.
Sakura and Kakashi, still lurking in the bushes wondered if a subtle love was ever going to be possible for them, or anyone at that.
And though love is complicated, to Naruto and Hinata, it was well worth it.
