"N-no." She gave a small smile.

He was silent.

Curious on why he was so quiet, she looked up, only to see that he was staring at her, a goofy smile placed on his face.

She blinked, her cheeks growing hotter as she began to look away, unable to look him in the eye.

"Anyway!" Naruto grabbed a hold of her wrist in the same manner he took it yesterday before he dragged her to Ichiraku's. "Let's go take a walk!"

"Wh-where to?" Hinata tried to ignore the gnawing annoyance that her conscious was starting to be. It was urging her to just hold on to his hand.

"Everywhere!" He grinned. "Baa-chan gave me the whole day off just 'cause I'm doing awesome."

"U-um," Hinata mumbled, pulling her arm so that his grip on her wrist was no longer felt.

Naruto froze, surprised at the antic, a sad smile forming on his face, the habit of nervously rubbing the back of his head came. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to just—."

He stopped when Hinata grabbed a hold of his hand and intertwined her fingers with his.

She gave a shaky smile. "Sh-shall we go now?"

"You know, you don't have to." He frowned slightly, still oblivious to the motives she had behind doing the action.

To him, it was just her not wanting to make him feel bad.

To her, it was a bold move, a way just to make the best out of the opportunity, knowing that she won't be able to do this now that she's engaged.

"It's okay." She gave him a reassuring smile to show that she meant it. "I want to."

Taken back, but confused, he just smiled widely before he continued walking, hand and hand, with Hinata by his side.

Unlike Naruto, who seem to have not noticed, Hinata took notice of the stares everyone was shooting at them.

Most of them were disbelief; the others a hint of joy and relief.

She gave them warm smiles as she let Naruto lead her to wherever he had planned to go.

"So Hinata," He peered down at her, only to catch her smiling. "What's so funny?"

"On, nothing." She gave a small giggle.

He pouted. "Tell me!"

Hinata heard the whine in his voice and couldn't help but to giggle again. "It's nothing important Naruto-kun. Don't worry about it."

"Phooey." He mumbled. "All right then, I won't be spending my free-time with you."

Her eyes widened. "Wh-what? N-no!"

Naruto was shocked when he heard sadness in her plea and the way her body posture seemed to change. She had loosened her grip on his hand, but it only stayed there because he was holding on to her.

She looked like she was going to cry.

'Nice going there, kit.' The Kyuubi laughed.

Naruto mentally kicked himself. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean that!"

Cursing under his breath, Naruto tightened his grip on her. "I'm sorry. I'm just horrible at being social."

Hinata breathed. Of course he didn't mean it.

But deep inside, she still had a feeling that those words were true. Not that she's surprised she heard them, taking account that she was constantly reminded by mostly everyone aside from the Ninja 11.

She forced a laugh. "That's surprising, considering how you're always so loud and make friends easily."

He grinned. "Well, I don't really hit it off with them. I always manage to make myself look like a total idiot for a first impression. Then they hate me. But I guess I just grow on them."

"That's not true." She whispered, but Naruto still caught it.

"What was that?"

"You're not an idiot, Naruto-kun." She fiercely stated and looked him straight in the eye. "And I could never hate you. I never hated you or thought you were an idiot when we first met."

Naruto gave an awkward chuckle and began rubbing the back of his neck, looking away from her stare.

Hinata then realized that like her, he wasn't given much compliments and still can't seem to accept them properly.

"Ti-tidak." Dia tersenyum kecil. Dia diam. Penasaran mengapa ia begitu tenang, dia mendongak, hanya untuk melihat bahwa ia menatapnya, senyum konyol ditempatkan di wajahnya. Dia berkedip, pipinya semakin panas saat dia mulai berpaling, tidak dapat menatap mata. "Pokoknya!" Naruto meraih memegang pergelangan tangannya dengan cara yang sama ia mengambil kemarin sebelum ia menyeretnya ke Ichiraku itu. "Mari kita berjalan-jalan!" "A-mana?" Hinata mencoba untuk mengabaikan gangguan menggerogoti yang sadar dia mulai menjadi. Itu mendesak dia untuk hanya berpegang pada tangannya. "Di mana-mana!" Dia menyeringai. "Baa-chan memberiku seluruh hari libur hanya karena aku melakukan mengagumkan." "U-um," Hinata bergumam, menarik lengannya sehingga cengkeramannya pada pergelangan tangannya tidak lagi terasa. Naruto membeku, terkejut dengan antic, senyum sedih membentuk di wajahnya, kebiasaan gugup menggosok bagian belakang kepalanya datang. "Oh, maafkan aku. Aku tidak bermaksud untuk hanya-." Dia berhenti ketika Hinata meraih memegang tangannya dan terjalin jari-jarinya dengan nya. Dia tersenyum gemetar. "Sh-akan kita pergi sekarang?" "Kau tahu, Anda tidak perlu." Dia mengerutkan kening sedikit, masih tidak menyadari motif dia balik melakukan tindakan. Baginya, itu hanya dia tidak ingin membuatnya merasa buruk. Baginya, itu adalah langkah berani, cara hanya untuk membuat yang terbaik dari kesempatan, mengetahui bahwa dia tidak akan bisa melakukannya sekarang bahwa dia terlibat. "Tidak apa-apa." Dia memberinya senyum meyakinkan untuk menunjukkan bahwa ia bersungguh-sungguh. "Saya ingin." Diambil kembali, tapi bingung, dia hanya tersenyum lebar sebelum ia terus berjalan, tangan dan tangan, dengan Hinata di sisinya. Tidak seperti Naruto, yang tampaknya belum melihat, Hinata mengambil pemberitahuan dari tatapan semua orang menembak . pada mereka Kebanyakan dari mereka percaya; yang lain sedikit sukacita dan lega. Dia memberi mereka senyum hangat saat ia membiarkan Naruto membawanya ke mana pun ia telah merencanakan untuk pergi. "Jadi Hinata," Dia mengintip ke arahnya, hanya untuk menangkapnya tersenyum. "Apa yang lucu?" "On, apa-apa." Dia memberikan tawa kecil. Dia cemberut. "Katakan padaku!" Hinata mendengar merengek dalam suaranya dan tidak bisa membantu tetapi tertawa lagi. "Bukan apa-apa yang penting Naruto-kun. Jangan khawatir tentang hal itu." "Phooey." Gumamnya. "Baiklah kalau begitu, saya tidak akan menghabiskan saya bebas waktu dengan Anda." Matanya melebar. "A-apa? Ti-tidak!" Naruto terkejut ketika ia mendengar kesedihan dalam permohonannya dan cara postur tubuhnya tampak berubah. Dia telah melonggarkan cengkeramannya di tangannya, tetapi hanya tinggal di sana karena ia berpegang pada dirinya. Dia tampak seperti dia akan menangis. "Bagus pergi ke sana, kit." Kyuubi tertawa. Naruto mental menendang dirinya. "Aku-aku minta maaf! Aku tidak berarti bahwa!" Mengutuk pelan, Naruto memperketat cengkeramannya pada dirinya. "Aku minta maaf. Aku hanya mengerikan di menjadi sosial." Hinata menarik napas. Tentu saja dia tidak berarti itu. Tapi jauh di dalam, ia masih memiliki perasaan bahwa kata-kata itu benar. Bukan berarti dia terkejut mendengar mereka, dengan mempertimbangkan bahwa ia terus-menerus diingatkan oleh sebagian orang selain dari Ninja 11. Dia memaksa tertawa. "Itu mengejutkan, mengingat bagaimana kau selalu begitu keras dan membuat teman-teman dengan mudah." Dia menyeringai. "Yah, aku tidak benar-benar cocok dengan mereka. Saya selalu berhasil membuat diriku terlihat seperti orang tolol untuk kesan pertama. Kemudian mereka membenci saya. Tapi saya kira saya hanya tumbuh pada mereka." "Itu tidak benar. " Dia berbisik, namun Naruto masih menangkapnya. "Apa itu?" "Kau bukan idiot, Naruto-kun." Dia keras menyatakan dan menatap lurus-lurus. "Dan aku tak pernah bisa membencimu. Aku tidak pernah membenci Anda atau berpikir Anda idiot ketika kita pertama kali bertemu." Naruto memberikan tawa canggung dan mulai menggosok bagian belakang lehernya, pandangan dari tatapannya. Hinata kemudian menyadari bahwa seperti dia , ia tidak diberi banyak pujian dan masih tidak bisa menerima mereka dengan baik.
