Hinata licked chocolate off the tips of her fingers. Sweetness filled her mouth. Naruto would like it.
She watched as Naruto struggled to make his chocolates. "Naruto-Kun, that's too much sugar" she giggles.

"I know, I want it to be sweet so she likes it," Naruto responded pouring the rest of the sugar into the mix.
He really must love her.

"Ok so now we pour them into the molds," Hinata said after stirring her chocolate. They were together at Naruto's apartment making Valentine's Day chocolates.
Naruto had trouble putting the chocolate into the heart-shaped molds because it was so chunky.

"There, now we wait for it to cool," Hinata said wiping her forehead with the back of her hand.
'Hers look better than mine' Naruto thought as he plopped onto the couch defeated. Hinata hesitates then follows and sits gently on the couch beside him. '
She looks so cute with her hair up like that'Naruto thought.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, but neither of them knows how to confess to one another. They sat there in silence until Naruto asked: "how long does it take to cool?"

"A-about an hour" Hinata answers. "What?! That's a long time. I'm gonna be so bored…." Naruto complains loudly.

Hinata giggles.

I just wish I was the one he loves….

For the rest of the hour, they were chatting about everything. From how good ramen is, to how to talk to Shino.
At first, Naruto wasn't sure if he really loves Hinata. But now he was sure. He wanted to hug her, laugh with her, cook with her, and just be with her. He never had that feeling with Sakura.
But he knew it was impossible to have that with Hinata.

Hinata opens her eyes slowly as her alarm rang in her ears. She clicked it shut and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Today was the day she confesses to Naruto. Her stomach churns. Maybe I just should give the chocolates to Kiba or something. Hinata knew Naruto was going to reject her. Hinata almost wished she didn't know that he loved someone else; she would have more hope.

She sighed as she got dressed in her usual mission clothes. They were so baggy. There were new mission clothes that Kurenai gave her, but she never tried them on. She quickly pulled them on just to try. She had to admit, she looked good. They were more comfortable too, so she kept them on. Hinata brushed her teeth, did her hair, and put a little makeup because- why not? It is a special day after all. She grabbed the chocolates headed for the front door. When she opened it she found that the whole world was covered in white fluff. Snow.

She grabbed a jacket and slipped into it. The cold stung her face, she couldn't wait to ruin the perfect snow blanket with her shoes.

"Hinata where are you going?" A stern voice called behind her. Hinata froze. No, this couldn't be happening. I was in such a good mood.
She slowly turned around. Hiashi was standing behind her, arms crossed. "I-i am going...um…" she answered mumbling.

"Who are those for?" He asked referring to the chocolate, although he knew the answer. "Oh, these? Those are for… um...they're for…" she couldn't lie. "Naruto-Kun" she admits.

"You know you are engaged to Sasuke. You can't give those to the Uzumaki kid. "Forget about him," Hiashi said harshly.

Hinata looked down in shame. How could she forget?

"Every Valentines Day you make chocolates for that kid but you never end up giving them to him. Stick with Sasuke"

"I don't love Sasuke." She states firmly. "I'm not going to marry him"

Hiashi raises an eyebrow. How was she supposed to explain that she wasn't the one who agreed to the marriage proposal? That it was Naruto.

"You can't just call off the engagement like that" Hiashi said.

"I'll speak to Sasuke," Hinata said confidently. She turned around and left out the door. She has never spoken to her father like that before. It sure was scary, but what was going to be scarier is confessing to Naruto.
She smirked.

With a deep breath, she headed towards Naruto's apartment. She walked slowly at first, but then she started to pick up speed. Finally, she was at a full sprint. Hinata wanted to get away from her house and closer to Naruto. Tears formed in her eyes as the cold wind stung her face. Her cheeks were pink and her eyes were scrunched up. That's when Hinata slammed into something or someone, and fell butt first in the snow.

Naruto woke up to a pounding ache in his head. He groaned as he sat up in bed. Today was going to be a hard day. He got up and got dressed. I gotta taste the chocolate so I know if Hinata would like it. Naruto grabbed one of the chocolates and popped in in his mouth. It was too sweet. He sighed 'they don't even look like hearts they look like blobs maybe I should just give them to Sakura'

For some reason, he knew it would be better if he got rejected by Sakura. Even though Sakura would punch him senseless while Hinata would quietly and kindly tell him that she was interested in someone else, he knew it would hurt more.
He put on his trademark orange jacket and took the box of chocolates and went out the door. Once he stepped outside, he realized that his orange jacket wasn't enough to keep him warm. But that was the warmest clothing he owns. He walked towards the Hyuuga compound. But the closer he got, the more anxious he became. At that moment, a blur of purple slammed into him and knocked him backward.

He got shoved in the chest causing him to stumble back and almost slip in the snow.

"Hey! Watch where you're-" he opened his eyes only to see two purple orbs staring back at him "Hinata?"

Naruto put out his hand to help her up.

"I...I'm sorry. I was kinda in rush and...like I'm sorry" she mumbled softly as she got to her feet and brushed off the cold snow from her butt. If she knew she was going to fall in the snow, she wouldn't have worn her new mission gear. Her legs and butt were freezing and wet.

"It's fine" Naruto laughed "So where were you going in such a hurry?" He asked. Hinata blushes. 'Oh I was just going to give you this chocolate because I love you'

"I...I just was gonna give this to him" she answered holding up the box of chocolate.

"Oh…" Naruto rubbed the back of his head "haha I was gonna do the same thing" he held up his box of chocolates.

There was an awkward silence.

"So...um good luck," Hinata said poking her fingers together "You know with…"

"Yeah!" Naruto cleared his throat "good luck to you too."

"See ya," Hinata said awkwardly. She hated that her voice shook when she spoke.

"See ya," Naruto said swallowing hard. Even though he was freezing cold, he was sweating. They walked past each other. Hinata wanted to cry. Her eyes watered and her throat started closing up into a sob.

'This can't be it' Naruto thought worriedly 'I gotta confess to her'

"Hinata?" His voice croaked.

"Yes?" Hinata turns around. At this point, she wanted to go home and give up.

"I got something to tell you" Naruto mutters turning around hesitantly.

"M-me too…" Hinata got herself to say.

They were facing each other but both looking down at their feet.

"You tell me first," Naruto said. He wanted to procrastinate with the confession.

I gotta go it. It's now or never!

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata held out the chocolates in her trembling hands. "The...the person I want to give these chocolates to…." she bit her lip "is you!"

There was a terrible silence that lasted billions of years….at least to Hinata.

Naruto thought he had d heard that wrong. Wait, me?! No...she couldn't mean that. 'You're so dumb it's not you. It's obviously someone named yū.' Kurama growls jokingly.

"Yū? That's a weird name I've never heard of someone named Yū before. Is he a shinobi?" Naruto asked bluntly. Kurama chuckled.

Is he serious?

"No! His name isn't Yū...it's you, Naruto" she shoved the chocolates into his arms as tears spilled down her cheeks.

Naruto couldn't believe his ears. She loves me!

"Just… please accept it!" She cried.

Warm hands enveloped Hinata's face, gently caressing her cheeks.

Shit, I made her cry.

Kurama snorts 'you're so dumb.'

"Hinata," Naruto mumbles "you know I…" Naruto was cut off by Hinata's gentle voice. "I know" she whispered, "you are in love with someone else." She put her hands on top of his and gently removed them from her face. "I understand" she finishes wiping her tears.

"It's not like that at all!" Naruto yells. His blue eyes were staring right into Hinata's violet ones. "The person I was in love with was you!" Naruto yelled. Puffs of cold air swirled around as he spoke.

Hinata stood there in shock. Her arms were dangling helplessly at her sides, her mouth slightly open, and there was a slight blush on her cheeks.

"M-me!?" Hinata croaked. Naruto nodded his head violently as he gave her the chocolate. Hinata looked at the box and grabbed it tenderly with her shaking fingers and swallowed. Her mouth stretched into a small smile "Naruto-kun you…" she couldn't finish her sentence. This can't be happening! It is! He loves me!

'I'm in love with… an amazingly beautiful, strong, and smart girl that will never even consider someone like me'
He had said that about me?

Naruto blushed softly.

Does this mean I can be with her? Does it mean someone loves me for who I am

He hesitantly wrapped his arms around her. When he felt her reciprocate by putting her arms around him, he squeezed her as if she were to disappear. I don't want you to let go. Hinata thought. "I won't" Naruto whispered. She hadn't realized she said that out loud. Her hand rushed up to her mouth. Naruto laughed as he rubbed the back of his head nervously. Hinata smiles shyly as she looks down at her feet.
"Let's eat chocolate" Naruto suggests. He slowly peels the box open and popped one in his mouth. To his surprise, they were incredibly good. One he finished one, he kept stuffing his mouth with more.
Mine sucks compared to hers. He looked up at Hinata to see her eating his chocolates. "Wow, Hinata you made these perfect!" He complimented. "Your's are good too naruto-kun"

naruto smiled as he thought about how happy he was to have Hinata in his life. That's when a question popped into his head. "Hey Hinata," he asked. "Hmmm?" Hinata's face was stuffed with chocolates. She looks adorable. A thought popped into Naruto's head that didn't quite make sense. "If you loved me this whole time, then why did you get with Sakura-Chan when you were in my body?"

Hinata was surprised by the question. She swallowed "Because I thought you loved her and I thought about what would make you happy" she answered honestly.

Naruto thought about her answer. "Oh, okay" he didn't know what else to say. He had thought the same thing when he agreed to Sasuke's proposals in her body.

He thought about the hug they had shared earlier. He wanted to hold her again. "Hinata, can we hug again?" He asked innocently. He didn't need an answer because Hinata just plummeted into his arms. Warmth collided with warmth and they just stood there until they lost track of time. If this was a dream, I wouldn't wanna wake up. Hinata thought. When Naruto let go of the hug, he looked into her eyes. His mind was on autopilot.

What if I were to kiss her? He moved his head closer to her.

No way, is he gonna kiss me?

Before he knew it, their lips were less than an inch away.

'Just do it kit, you humans are so complicated.' Kurama pushed.

Naruto pressed his lips against Hinata's… cheek. Warmth filled the spot where she was kissed. Oh, Kami...

Hinata stood there in a haze. I can't believe he just did that.

Every atom in her body told her to run away in embarrassment or faint. But it took everything she had to resist. She was sure her whole face was red. There was something still bothering Naruto.

"Hinata," Naruto said seriously, "I love you but… there is just one problem."

Hinata's heart skipped a beat. Nothing could go wrong now….

"You are engaged to Sasuke!" he yelled in frustration. Him mentioning that reminded Hinata of her earlier interaction with her father. "I told my father that I was going to do speak to Sasuke about calling off the engagement." She admitted. Naruto's jaw dropped. that man is scary, she had the courage to tell him that?

"It's okay Hinata. Whatever happens, just remember I'm here. I won't let that jerk Sasuke take you away from me!" Naruto promised with a comforting smile. Hinata blushes at what he just said. "I'm glad I ran into you Naruto-kun," Hinata says. She didn't only mean that today she literally ran into him. She was referring to her whole life, she was glad their paths crossed. "Me to" he smiled.

Hinata sneezes unexpectedly.

Naruto noticed that her clothes were wet from the fall in the snow. "Hey Hinata, do you wanna come over to my house to dry up?" He asked. Hinata blushes and looks down at her soaked clothes. "Okay" She nearly whisperers. Naruto tries not to let perverted thoughts into his head.
They slowly walked towards his apartment. Naruto wasn't sure if he could hold her hand or not. As they walked through the busier part of the village, he started seeing more couples holding hands. What if my hands are sweaty? What if she doesn't think we are that close to each other yet? What if- just do it gaki. Kurama growls irritated. Naruto grabs Hinata's hand desperately. That's when he realizes that he can feel her pulse beating quickly. So I'm not the only one that's nervous.

The memory of Naruto holding her had in the shinobi war flooded Hinata's mind. His strong and comforting hand enveloping hers. She subconsciously squeezed for comfort. When they reached his house, Naruto had to let go of her hands to open the door. Hinata was disappointed, but the feeling was quickly replaced by butterflies. She was going inside his apartment- but this time as his "girlfriend". (AN: The reason I put quotations around girlfriend is because they aren't a couple up til Hinata isn't engaged anymore)

When they entered, relieving warmth washes over them. Hinata took off her coat and sat down. Naruto looked in his small closet to try to find something that would fit her. He eventually found one of his old pants from before the war.
"Here you can wear these until your clothes dry" he offered holding up the bright orange pants and a black t-shirt. Hinata smiled shyly, "Thank you" She barely whispers.
Inside Hinata's mind is all jumbled together. It took all her willpower not to faint at the fact she was going to wear naruto's clothes. She swallowed and nodded as she made her way to the bathroom to change.
When Hinata put on the pants she realized they were tight. They hugged her butt but were baggy around her ankles. She looked at herself at the mirror and quickly looked away. She couldn't help but smirk a little at the sight of herself in naruto's clothes. I look kinda good. I hope this happens more often. She touched her cheek. And he even kissed me. Hinata's hands covered her face to hide her huge smile. She nervously ran her fingers through her dark purple hair. As she pulled on the oversized shirt, she noticed the Uzumaki clan symbol. Maybe one day she will be able to proudly wear it on her back every day. She paused.
What am I thinking!? How could I think about that now? I just started "dating" him!... I'm such a loser…

It took all her willpower not to squeal.

There was a knock on the door. Hinata jumped at the abrupt sound. "Y-yes?" She cursed herself for stuttering. "Are you okay in there?" A muffled voice asked from the other side. Hinata swallowed, she didn't realize how long she took. "Um..I'm fine Naruto-kun" she answered slowly opening the door. She met naruto's blue eyes but quickly looked down. She looks so cute in my clothes. Naruto thought. Hinata held up her wet clothes. "Where do I put these?"

"We'll just hang them up here…" Naruto took them from her hands and put them on top of the shower bar. Her clothes are so different from her baggy hoodie. They looked kinda good on her. N-not that she didn't look good before! He could feel his face go hot. "Is everything alright Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked innocently.

"It's just that I think you looked cute in your new mission gear," Naruto admitted, causing Hinata to blush. They stared into each other's eyes until naruto looks away and changes the subject. "So um are you hungry?" He asks turning away and walking into the kitchen. Hinata follows him and sits at the table. "Um, I guess"

"Then I'll make ramen!" Naruto exclaims. In all honesty, he was feeling extremely nervous. He felt as if they were supposed to do something. This isn't one of ero- sennin's books! Hinata wasn't dating him yet. Not until she calls off the engagement. I scary thought burst into his mind. Oh Kami, his heart was about to burst out of his chest. He remembered what Hanabi told him about how Hinata rejects proposals. "First thing Hinata says is that she is sorry, she is in love with someone else."

If the person she loves is me… If I asked her to marry me… would she say… yes? Naruto was startled by his thoughts. I certainly wouldn't mind marrying her… he glanced over at her. Her head was resting on her arm and her expression was lost in thought. She is beautiful. I'm so lucky. Sasuke better back off. I'll beat his ass. I'll lose my other arm for her. He continued to make the ramen. We are going straight to Sasuke's house after this.

Naruto knocked violently on Sasuke's door. "Go away sakura!" Sasuke's muffled voice called from inside. "I'm not Sakura!" Hinata called. "Sorry Naruto, I'm gonna have to do all the talking" She looked up apologetically at Naruto. She knew he came here specifically to yell at Sasuke. Sasuke opened the door and glared at Naruto. "Why did you bring the dobe?" he asked in a monotonous voice. "He wanted to come" Hinata wasn't sure if that was the right thing to say, but was later to hear naruto's response. Sasuke eyes Hinata's attire wondering why "Ya! To talk with you teme!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Come in"

"So you're proposing we call off the engagement?" Sasuke asks trying to hide the fact that he was relieved. He had no intention of marrying the shy Hyuuga princess.

That's exactly what I'm asking" Hinata assures.

"No" Sasuke answers bluntly, knowing that she- they won't take no for an answer.

What does he mean by "no"? Naruto thought furiously.

Naruto stood up abruptly to punch the teme in the face. He felt warm fingers wrap around his wrist and looked down only to see Hinata's watery eyes looking up at him. "Naruto Sasuke is right…" her voice came out shaky and frail- not the same strong Hinata Naruto knew from before. "If we call off the engagement, multiple problems will occur"

Naruto sat down hesitantly. "Especially Hinata's father" Sasuke finishes. "But you two aren't gonna get married… right?" Naruto askes slightly defeated. "No," Hinata says while at the exact same time Sasuke says "yes".

"What?" Sasuke asks. "I already told my dad that I'm going to talk to you about the engagement. I refuse to marry you Uchiha Sasuke" Hinata regains her confidence. Sasuke narrows his eyes. "Fine…" Sasuke gave up. "I can't force you to marry me"

"You better not!" Naruto yelled, fist up in the air. Sasuke ignored him. "However I think that our marriage would consist of many advantages for both the Hyuuga and Uchiha" Sasuke finishes.
"I don't love you Sasuke-Kun. I agreed to our marriage at your proposal thinking that I have no chance with Naruto and that I'd have nothing to lose marrying you." Hinata tried to justify why she- no naruto agreed to the marriage. "Hn" is all Sasuke said.
Naruto's blood was boiling with anger at Sasuke. He wanted nothing more than to bash his head into the nearest wall.

In all honesty, Sasuke didn't mean to cause all this drama. Hinata's acceptance of his proposal took him by surprise. His plan was to ask Sakura to marry him that night but he abruptly changed his mind thinking it would be best for Sakura. "Now get out of my house" Sasuke growled.
Hinata smiles and stands up while naruto snarls at his best friend. When the two of them roam far from the Uchiha compound naruto looks at Hinata. "Hey Hinata," he says. "Since it's Valentine's Day and all," he gulped "do you wanna go on a date?" I actually asked her on a date. Wow, that was harder than I expected. Hinata's eyes met naruto's and she smiled as if to say 'yes'. Naruto smirked back. "There is a place I wanna show you a really cool place," Naruto said excitedly, starting to walk faster.

"Follow me"

Hinata expected the 'really cool place' to be Ichiraku's. But before she knew it, they were hopping from rooftop to rooftop to an unknown location.
It took Hinata a few moments to realize that Naruto was leading her to the top of the Hokage monuments. They landed on the hair spike of the fourth Hokage.
Naruto was looking at the village proudly— almost as if it was his.

"Here we are," Naruto says, though Hinata could barely hear him over the excessive wind blowing at her ears. "The best place in Konoha!" Naruto said louder turning, looking Hinata in the eyes, and making her flush. Her eyes roamed away from his to the village underneath them. It really was a beautiful sight.

"Do you come here a lot?" She asked breathlessly. They were closer to each other now; there was no need to yell over the wind anymore.
Naruto nodded, not breaking eye contact with her. "Whenever I feel alone" he answers.
Hinata nods understandingly "I know how you feel" she answers softly. I think right now is the best time to kiss her kit. Kurama grumpily suggests. Naruto blushed as he moved his face closer to hers.
Realizing what Naruto was about to do, Hinata moved her lips closer to his not wanting him to get another cheek kiss. He placed his trembling hands on her waist, gaining confidence from Hinata to finally meet his lips. She could feel her heart thumping against her chest. She could feel his lips trembling against hers. That's not a kiss. Are you guys just gonna stand there and touch lips? Kurama askes.

Naruto breaks the kiss and looks into Hinata's eyes. Hinata felt as if her heart had finally escaped her chest. My first kiss. Her actions were running solely on adrenaline. She cupped his face and pushed her lips against his, making the kiss much more passionate than the last. That's when, to her surprise, Hinata felt Naruto's tongue push to enter her mouth. She hesitated before she reciprocated, pushing her own tongue into his. Naruto deepened the kiss, earning a slight moan from Hinata. That broke the kiss, they both parted to catch their breath leaving an embarrassing trail of spit between them. "You're a good kisser" Naruto complemented. Hinata's eyes widened realizing what she's done. Her face grew red as she started to lose consciousness. This time she didn't have Kurama to snap her back to life so she fell straight into Naruto's arms.

The end
