The Wonderful and Heartfelt Times of NaruHina

ナルトとヒナタのワンダフルと心からのタイムズ

Day 1

Sunshine

It was too early to wake up, damn it. Last night, he was surrounded by paper work that seemed to pile up more without his consent. To make it worse, he didn't get to see his wife all day. He came home late to find his food cold and his wife already asleep. He couldn't blame her, really, because she was in maternity leave and the pregnancy was getting her tired than usual. A simple walk could put her to sleep for four hours. He sighed wistfully and climbed in bed after warming and eating his food. And now the sun's rays were hitting him full blast and he cursed the slight crack between the curtains. He turned to his left to see 6:30 a.m. in bright, red colors and he laid his head back on his pillow, sad that he wouldn't be able to sleep again. It irked him that no matter how many times he tried to go back to sleep, his body wouldn't let him. Finally giving up after ten minutes of twisting and turning, he lay on his side and smiled widely. Hinata was still dead to the world and her bed hair was tangled in balls. He tucked a strand of indigo behind her ear and caressed her cheek, savoring the feeling of soft skin underneath his callous thumb. He scooted closer to her, drawn in by her warmth and comforting aura, and rubbed his nose with hers, careful not to wake her. She shifted in her sleep and, as if she sensed that her husband was closer, snuggled into his chest. This was a perfect moment for him, seeing his wife—the one he came to love, the one who loved him first before anyone knew him—sleeping contently beside him, in their house, and pregnant with their child. He sniffed back his emotions and winded his arms around her, his nose buried in her hair, taking it all in.

It was worth waking up so early.
