Nightmares.

She always had those dreams. They were called nightmares she realized as each time it woke her up, panting and sweaty on the outside and a painful heartache in the inside. She would start to shiver and then she'd hug her petite body close to her and cry.

She hated herself every night it happened. It made her feel weak, insecure and vulnerable. And she wants, more than anything in the world to prove to everyone, her friends, her family and mostly herself that she is not.

So one time when she was assigned on a mission with him, she felt uneasy. Although she was very happy that he'd be her partner, she was scared that he would find out the nightmare that still haunts her.

And just like that night, she had it again, this time it was much worst. She was shaking from head to toe, an unknown coldness showered her, her eyes were wet and she found it hard to breathe.

"Hinata?" she heard his sleepy voice waking up from the sleeping bag next to hers inside the tent. "Na-naruto-kun…go back to sleep" she told him, trying to relax herself. The blonde shinobi rubbed his eyes and looked at her, a frown plastered on his face.

"Are you ok?" he asked, concerned. Hinata smiled a smile that had no meaning, a smile that was empty, and a smile that was faked. "I'm fine,"

She hated herself for lying especially when she's around him, but more than that, she hated to show how weak and vulnerable she is to him. He was strong, he was much stronger now, and more than ever she wants to stand just as tall as he is.

But she was surprised; the shock of it could almost make her faint, when he suddenly shifted and sat next to her and before she could turn to look at him, andlost herselfin his bright blue orbs, she felt his hand on top of her head and pushed it down gently to rest on his shoulder.

"It's okay Hinata," he said yawning, "I always have it too." Hinata kept quiet, she was lost of words. She was surprised by how little action that he did could clear up the storm inside her, "Arigatou…Naruto-kun" she said softly.

But there was no reply, the blonde shinobi had already fallen asleep, resting his head on top of hers, she could hear his light snores and feel his warm skin, warming up hers and the light rhythm of his heartbeat. She breathed in his scent; of freshly mowed lawn on a Sunday morning, with a hint of miso from his usual favorite meal.

That night the nightmare was gone and for the next nights, it had been their little tradition, even when the mission was over. He was her cure of her nightmare and unknown to her; she was his little comfort that he seek when he too was having his own nightmare.

End.
