You look really pretty today," he m

You look really pretty today," he murmured into her ear as they swayed gently to the music with his hands resting lightly at his waist.

She did look resplendent, in her ivory silk dress with a halter top and skirt that ended just below her knees. It clung to her every curve, hugging her body like a second skin.

Naruto never wanted to be an inanimate object as much as he did then.

They were spirited away almost immediately after the formal wedding reception. It was a boring affair, with many boring speeches. Naruto spent most of his time looking across the room, where Hinata sat at the head table, sandwiched between her father and her sister. Her midnight black kimono bearing the Hyuga family crest was served to accentuate and milky white eyes and dark hair which was swept back and held in place with the sandalwood combs he gifted her.

Even across the room, he could smell her scent of vanillas mixed with sandalwood.

She blushed prettily in his arms. She thought he looked very handsome, too. He wore a black kimono for the morning reception. Black was supposed to make someone seem smaller, but somehow, it made his broad shoulders even broader and brought out the gold in his hair and the blue of his eyes.

Now, he was garbed in a simple black sweater and dark slacks. Locks of his unruly gold nimbus fell into his eyes; she had asked him not to wear his headband the around his forehead tonight because she thought he looked adorable with his hair down.

"You look very good yourself," she said lightly, eyes dancing. "I think I saw the daimyo's daughter staring at you. I thought she might have asked her father to request for your hand in marriage from Tsunade-sama."

"She did," he picked up the banter. "Unfortunately, Tsunade-baasan wanted to keep me all for herself," he sighed dramatically.

Hinata found herself laughing in response. The past month with Naruto had been filled with happy memories. She had been surprised by how much he had changed, but change it seems, was inevitable, when she realized how much she changed herself.

It was very awkward between them in the first week of their relationship. The day after they got together, he had been dispatched on a 4 day mission to the grass country. Hinata was slightly sad to see him go, but at the same time relieved since it will give her a chance to sort out her feelings properly.

The day before he was due to return, she was still unsure about their new relationship. Everything happened so fast, she was still reeling in the aftermath. She spent the next three days carrying out the assigned local missions and trying to figure out her heart.

But by the third day, she was heartsick from missing him; yet fearful that when he returned, he would tell her it was one huge drunken mistake.

Hence, she nearly passed out from both happiness and nervousness when a little toad appeared at her window one night, delivering a missive from him.

The message was short and to the point. Meet me at Ichiraku Ramen Bar tomorrow night at 2000. Missed you.

And so, she had dutifully arrived at the meeting place for their first formal date.

He showed up dress in a navy blue sweater, with its long sleeves pushed back to the elbows to reveal muscled forearms and a pair of black pant. Hinata noticed that he was favoring dark colors more nowadays along with trendier styles, compared to his choice of clothes in yesteryear. And dear Kami-sama, he looked so gorgeous in them.

Hinata smiled nervously at the approaching figure. Blue eyes lit up and he waved enthusiastically and he broke into a jog. When he finally reached her, he leaned down and planted a quick kiss on her cheek.

"I missed you very much," he whispered.

"Ahh," she had blushed furiously. "I missed you too," she finally managed to squeak out.

Naruto laughed, and took her hand in his. Part of her died and went to heaven there and then, and she allowed him to lead the way.

To her surprise, they did not enter Ichiraku as she originally expected. Instead, he led her down the street, away from the ramen bar.

"Where are we going, Naruto-kun?" she had asked curiously.

"You'll see."

Her heart jumped a little when they finally ended up in front of an upscale restaurant serving Waterfall cuisine. It was famed for its seafood ramen, as well as its exorbitant prices. Rumors have it that the famous actress Yukie Fujikaze is a regular patron. Naruto made a move to enter, but she pulled him back.

"Eh?" he looked at her, puzzled.

Licking her lips, Hinata opened her mouth. No sound came out. She tried again. In her third attempt, she finally managed to say, "Are we eating there?"

He nodded and proceeded to enter when she pulled his sleeve again. "Ano, Naruto-kun?" she whispered, adverted her eyes from him. "Can we go to Ichiraku? I feel like eating ramen today."

"They serve ramen in there too," he told her. "Waterfall's ramen's the best in the world, even slightly better than Ichiraku."

"I, I'm not attired appropriately," she tried to dissuade him.

"You look as pretty as ever."

Despite his reassurance about her appearance, she was still highly reluctant to enter.

Blue eyes squinted at her, bewildered. "Don't you like the place? I'm told it's one of the best eateries around."

"It's not that," she swallowed nervously. "It's just that I heard it is very expensive," she said at last.

He smiled at her. "It's okay. I brought enough money with me, if that's what you're worried about."

"But I'm really fine with eating out at Ichiraku."

Her boyfriend sighed. "This is our first date, Hinata-chan," he said patiently but firmly. "And I think it's only appropriate I treat you to something classier than Ichiraku. Come on."

They entered, and Naruto gave his name to the man at the counter. Soon, they found themselves seated at a cozy alcove, away from the rest of the crowd.

As the heir of the Hyuga clan, Hinata was accustomed to such finery. Instead, she was rather worried about Naruto being able to adapt.

Her concerns were unnecessary as her companion conducted himself extremely well through out the entire course of dinner. In fact, he acted as if he had been doing it all his life.

She found it rather hard to believe that this was the same boy who used to drink his ramen.

They took a walk after dinner, hand in hand with her lagging slightly behind, continuously blushing as people threw surprised glances at them. The air was cool and balmy and the chirping of crickets interrupted the otherwise silent night. After a while, they found themselves in a park.

He found a bench and sat down and pulled her down to sit beside him. They sat together in silence for a while.

But Naruto being Naruto, just couldn't keep quiet at last.

"Hinata-chan?"

"Hai?"

"Why are you being so quiet?"

Hinata blushed so hard it was almost painful. "I, I, I am always this quiet," she replied.

"The Hinata-chan I remembered from the bar was quite vociferous," he said.

"I... I... I was drunk," she admitted shyly.

He looked extremely amused. "I was quite certain you were drunk, without you telling me."

"What I mean was, I lose control of my tongue when I'm drunk," she clarified hastily.

"Ahh," silence fell between them for a moment before he continued, "I think I should buy us some Sake then."

That shocked her. "Why?"

"Because," he explained with a dead serious look on his face, "the drunken Hinata-chan is way more interesting than the sober Hinata-chan. And sake is like a key to unlock your voice box."

She hung head in shame, "Gomen ne," she whispered. "I'm not very interesting, I'm afraid. I understand if you want to break things off..."

She broke off when she noticed that his shoulders were rocking with laughter. Without warning, he hugged her.

"What I meant was, I would like to get to know you better," he said without releasing her. "And I can't do that if you won't talk to me."

Her pale eyes widened at his words.

"You did say, you would like to change, right?" he prodded her.

"Hai," she answered shakily. "I will try to, talk more."

"I can't hear you," he teased her.

"I will try to talk more," she repeated sheepishly a little louder.

"Good," he replied, satisfied with her answer.

They kept quiet for a while. Hinata struggled with her inner urge to remain silent, but she wanted to try to keep her word to Naruto.

"Ano, Naruto-kun?" she started uncertainly.

"Hmm?"

"Umm... Umm..." her eyes darted back and forth and she twiddled her thumbs, a habit whenever she was nervous as she racked her brain for a topic of conversation. "You... you... you were very familiar with the restaurant we went to earlier. Do you go there often?"

"That particular restaurant?" he asked. "No. But I've frequented many similar establishments before during my travels with Ero-sennin."

"Oh."

He turned to her, his blue eyes twinkling. "Are you wondering why I know which fork to use, and all that table manners bull shit?"

Her dark head bobbed up and down. He smiled, "Ero-sennin often took me along with him when he is invited to the daimyos' castles for dinner and other occasions. Said it'll help me make contacts and learn to blend in at formals – essentials in a shinobi's education."

"Ahh," that was all she could say.
