Hinata is silent, and Naruto feels

Hinata is silent, and Naruto feels his mood deflate. She gets like this whenever something doesn't go well with things, just shuts down or pretends like things aren't wrong. Naruto is the opposite, acting rash and angry and emotional (Kiba says he's more like the girl in their relationship when it comes to things like that, Naruto disagrees).

They work together, though, which is a lot more than he can say for any girl Kiba has dated. He and Hinata work, even when they don't.

He steps away from her and begins to move around the kitchen, thanking the gods that Sakura had gifted them with the several bags of groceries as a house warming present, since she figured neither of them would remember to do it until they went to make something.

He makes tea, placing it down in front of her. She reaches for it, nodding at him slightly, but doesn't take a sip or meet his gaze. With a look of determination, he goes for the apples Sakura had bought, rinsing one off in the sink, and then sitting down in the chair beside her, beginning to peel it.

"So today Ai picked a fight with the tall kid on Sasuke's genin team and…" he begins to tell her about his day, watching as she picks up the pieces of apple he'd sliced for her, popping it into her mouth and chewing slowly. Eventually, she turns to meet his eyes, resting her chin on her palm and even smiles slightly when he tells her how Ryuji fell into a mud pit on their mission today. By the end, she's cheered up significantly, and Naruto counts that as a win.

She reaches out, meshing her fingers with his tightly, inspecting their hands. Hers are small and calloused and pale, and his are large, smooth and tan. He likes how different they are. Scooting his chair closer to hers, Naruto asks, "What happened today, Hinata?"

Sitting back in her chair, Hinata offers him a shaky smile. "I stepped down from becoming clan leader, today. Hanabi is officially the heiress."

Dumbfounded, Naruto can only stare at his girlfriend. She attempts to pull her hand away, but Naruto tightens his grip, clearing his throat. "Hinata, are you…why would you do that?"

She swallows visibly, wiping at her eyes with her free hand. "They wanted to be sure the heir had the Byakugan, and to do so the heir would have to have two Hyuuga parents." She shrugs, running her thumb over his knuckles. "It was a pretty easy choice."

"So we would have had to…to break up, but now we don't? But what if—I mean, not now, of course, but sometime along the line we want to have kids, if one has your eyes, then doesn't he…don't you have to get the seal?" He's not sure how to process all of this right now. She chose him over running her clan, she picked him over her family basically, and he doesn't think he's ever been more in love with her, or more worried for her.

"I believe that when the time comes, Hanabi will make the right decision and abolish the curse seal." She answers slowly, wiping her eyes more. "And um, I-I-I don't want to s-sound forward but, I um, I was wondering if—"

"Move in with me?" Naruto offers carefully, tugging her off her chair and onto his lap. "Is that what you were going to ask?"

"Yes."

"Okay," he grins, moving forward to kiss her. He feels hot tears on his face soon after, and Hinata buries her face in the space between his shoulder and neck. His fingers sift through her soft hair, twisting it at the ends and watching is fall back straight along her back. "You never had to ask, y'know."

With a final hiccup, Hinata sits back, wiping at her face with the sleeve of her shirt. She still looks a bit upset, and he wonders if there was more to what happened than she told him. Was her father angry? Or Neji? How did Hanabi feel about all this?

Naruto pushed the questions to the back of his mind, locking them away and saving them for another day. Right now he needs to comfort her, not upset her more. "Do you want to go to bed?"

Resting her hands on either side of his neck, her thumb traces his pulse point slowly. "I just…I think I want a hot bath." Her smile isn't sexy or mischievous, it's tired and grateful, and Naruto stands, sweeping her into his arms, chuckling at her tiny gasp.

"Right away, miss," Naruto says, attempting to sound proper and failing completely. Hinata laughs into his neck, kissing his pulse point.

"Thank you, Naruto."

He doesn't say anything, just holds her tighter.

Hinata diam, dan Naruto merasa mengempis suasana hatinya. Dia mendapat seperti ini setiap kali sesuatu tidak berjalan dengan baik dengan hal-hal, hanya menutup atau berpura-pura seperti hal-hal yang tidak salah. Naruto adalah kebalikan, bertindak ruam dan marah dan emosional (Kiba mengatakan dia lebih seperti gadis dalam hubungan mereka ketika datang ke hal-hal seperti itu, Naruto tidak setuju). Mereka bekerja bersama-sama, meskipun, yang lebih banyak daripada yang bisa saya katakan untuk gadis Kiba telah tanggal. Dia dan Hinata bekerja, bahkan ketika mereka tidak. Dia melangkah menjauh darinya dan mulai bergerak di sekitar dapur, berterima kasih kepada para dewa bahwa Sakura telah berbakat mereka dengan beberapa kantong belanjaan sebagai hadiah rumah pemanasan, karena dia pikir tak satu pun dari mereka akan ingat untuk melakukannya sampai mereka pergi untuk membuat sesuatu. Dia membuat teh, menempatkannya di depan dirinya. Dia meraih itu, mengangguk padanya sedikit, tapi tidak mengambil seteguk atau bertemu tatapannya. Dengan tampilan tekad, dia pergi untuk apel Sakura telah membeli, membilas satu dari di wastafel, dan kemudian duduk di kursi di sampingnya, mulai mengupasnya. "Jadi hari ini Ai memilih berkelahi dengan anak tinggi di Sasuke Tim Genin dan ... "ia mulai bercerita tentang hari itu, menonton saat ia mengambil potongan-potongan apel ia diiris untuknya, memasukkannya ke dalam mulutnya dan mengunyah perlahan. Akhirnya, ia berbalik untuk menatap matanya, beristirahat dagu di telapak tangannya dan bahkan tersenyum sedikit ketika ia mengatakan bagaimana Ryuji jatuh ke dalam lubang lumpur misi mereka hari ini. Pada akhirnya, dia terhibur signifikan, dan Naruto menghitung bahwa sebagai menang. Dia mengulurkan tangan, meshing jari-jarinya dengan erat-erat, memeriksa tangan mereka. Miliknya kecil dan kapalan dan pucat, dan nya besar, halus dan cokelat. Ia suka betapa berbedanya mereka. Bergeser kursinya mendekati miliknya, Naruto bertanya, "Apa yang terjadi hari ini, Hinata?" Duduk di kursinya, Hinata menawarkan senyum gemetar. "Saya mengundurkan diri dari menjadi pemimpin klan, hari ini. Hanabi secara resmi pewaris." Tercengang, Naruto hanya bisa menatap pacarnya. Dia mencoba untuk menarik tangannya, tapi Naruto mengencangkan cengkeramannya, membersihkan tenggorokannya. "Hinata, kau ... mengapa Anda melakukan itu?" Dia menelan jelas, menyeka matanya dengan tangannya yang bebas. "Mereka ingin memastikan ahli waris memiliki Byakugan, dan untuk melakukannya pewaris harus memiliki dua orang tua Hyuuga." Dia mengangkat bahu, berjalan jempolnya atas buku-buku jarinya. "Itu pilihan yang cukup mudah." "Jadi kita akan harus ... putus, tapi sekarang kita tidak? Tapi bagaimana jika-maksudku, tidak sekarang, tentu saja, tapi kadang-kadang sepanjang garis kita ingin memiliki anak-anak, jika seseorang memiliki mata Anda, maka dia tidak ... tidak Anda harus mendapatkan segel? " Dia tidak yakin bagaimana untuk memproses semua ini sekarang. Dia memilih dia atas menjalankan klan, dia memilih dia atas keluarganya pada dasarnya, dan dia tidak berpikir dia pernah lebih cinta padanya, atau lebih khawatir untuknya. "Saya percaya bahwa ketika saatnya tiba, Hanabi akan membuat keputusan yang tepat dan menghapuskan segel kutukan. " Dia menjawab perlahan, menyeka matanya lagi. "Dan um, III tidak ingin s-suara maju tapi, aku um, aku bertanya-tanya kalau-" "Pindahkan dengan saya?" Naruto menawarkan hati-hati, menarik dirinya dari kursi dan ke pangkuannya. "Apakah itu yang Anda akan bertanya?" "Ya." "Oke," dia menyeringai, bergerak maju untuk menciumnya. Dia merasa air mata panas di wajahnya segera setelah itu, dan Hinata mengubur wajahnya di ruang antara bahu dan lehernya. Jari-jarinya menyaring rambut lembut, memutar itu di ujung dan menonton adalah jatuh kembali lurus sepanjang punggungnya. "Anda tidak pernah meminta, kau tahu." Dengan cegukan akhir, Hinata duduk kembali, menyeka wajahnya dengan lengan bajunya. Dia masih terlihat sedikit kesal, dan ia bertanya-tanya jika ada lebih banyak untuk apa yang terjadi daripada dia mengatakan kepadanya. Apakah ayahnya marah? Atau Neji? Bagaimana Hanabi merasa tidak tentang semua ini? Naruto mendorong pertanyaan ke belakang pikirannya, mengunci mereka pergi dan menyimpannya untuk hari lain. Sekarang ia perlu menghiburnya, tidak sedih lagi. "Apakah Anda ingin pergi ke tempat tidur?" Istirahat tangannya di kedua sisi lehernya, ibu jarinya menelusuri titik denyut nadinya perlahan. "Aku hanya ... saya pikir saya ingin mandi air panas." Senyumnya tidak seksi atau nakal, itu lelah dan berterima kasih, dan Naruto berdiri, menyapu ke dalam pelukannya, tertawa di terkesiap mungilnya. "Segera, miss," kata Naruto, berusaha terdengar tepat dan gagal sepenuhnya. Hinata tertawa ke lehernya, mencium titik denyut nadinya. "Terima kasih, Naruto." Dia tidak mengatakan apa-apa, hanya memegang erat.
