Twenty-Eighth Sunshine [Video Post]

[hyuugahime]

A-Ano ...

[Hinata is fidgeting, and she's all red, for a change. Which is due to the gift she received while having no idea that it was customary this time of year for most people.]

I-I ... didn't know there w-was a holiday and p-people had to give g-gifts, so ... I'm r-really sorry, but I didn't do anything f-for anyone, a-and ... And I want to say thank you to everyone who ...


... I'm s-sorry !

[The feed is hastily cut off, but if people looked closely, they will have noticed a Konoha headband on Hinata's bed. A headband which isn't hers, since she was wearing it around her neck as usual.]

C-Come over ... ?

[Video]

[thelonegenin]

Yeah, sure. We could have ramen?

[Video]

[hyuugahime]

... O-Okay.

((OOC : Offline okay ?))

[thelonegenin]

Alright!

[OOC: Yoooooosh, awesome!]

[It takes quite some time, and a lot of courage before Hinata finally show up and even more time before she actually knocks on the door.

... Naruto actually invited her. To come to his house. To have cookies. She's on cloud nine right now.]

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

[Unfortunately for Hinata, Naruto just sees it as an invitation to a good friend for cookies. It's not his fault he's utterly oblivious - To the lateness of her arrival, to her need to build up the courage to get here, to her affections.

Practically bouncing to the door he throws it open, instantly grinning at her.]

Naaa, Hinata-chan! You made it!

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

[And now she's all red.]

H-Hello.

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

[And Naruto is frowning.]

... It must be really cold.

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

N-No, it's ... f-fine !

[She just stands there, fidgeting, since he didn't invite her in.]

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

... Your face is all red.

[Of course! She's cold you nutcase. Understanding is slow, but he steps aside.]

C'mon, c'mon!

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

[She's only too aware of it, Naruto.]

Th-Thank you ...

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

[and he'll think it's just the cold forever.]

Naaa, we have so many cookies! You should taste 'em, Dad's real good at it now. The first ones burnt!

[He's closing the door behind her, and bouncing through into the kitchen, still rambling.]

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

[She follows him into the kitchen, cheeks still burning.]

I-I'm sure they're fine !

[A deep breath, then ...]

I-I'm glad ... you have your father with you, Naruto-kun.

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

[He's quite happy to get out the cookies from a box in the cupboard, throwing it down onto the table in there.]

Ah, Yeah. It was hard, you know... but, I'm happy now. Thanks, Hinata-chan.

[There's the potential for him to ramble about it, but instead he sits down on a chair and pulls open the box.]

Try one, try one!

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

[She'll pick one and take a small bite. She's so happy right now she could faint, so she quickly bites into the cookie again to hide it.]

I-It's really good.

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

[Like a gentleman, he lets her take one first. Naturally, the wait has him almost vibrating by the time he goes to take one himself, and so very unlike a gentleman, he takes a massive bite out of it, speaking before he's even had the chance to swallow what he's eating.]

Mn, dey're really good, hmnf?

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

[Hinata nods and takes another bite, stifling a giggle with it. Naruto is so honest with what he feels and what he wants. Which ... sort of makes her flashback to Inugami Akira, the boy who managed to shake her heart while she was here.]

A-Ano, Naruto-kun ... do you ... do you have some one you ... ?

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

[The rest of the cookie was stuffed in his mouth as he watched her, a knowing grin on his face. Hinata always found something to hide behind. At the question he paused his munching, lifting the back of his wrist up to rub his mouth with it.]

Huh? Someone what?

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

Someone that ... that you like.

[There, she said it, and she's all red again.]

[Offline] Lol. I apologise for him.

[thelonegenin]

[Naruto stared at Hinata, it was difficult to know why she would ask something like that. She had gone a weird kinda red, too... what was that about?]

Uh...

[He paused for a moment, obviously thinking about the question.]

Ah... Well, I like Sasuke and Sakura-chan and Dad, Usagi-chans fun and Rei-chan too.

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

[She can't help it. She'll giggle. Because this is so Naruto that she can't even be disappointed that he didn't mention her name.]

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

[If he's 'forgotten her' it's only cause she's here in person... and how could he not like her?! She's Hinata-chan!

The giggling makes him look puzzled though, and he leans in.]

Uh... What's funny?

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

N-Nothing ! It's nothing.

[She's still a bit red, but her smile is genuine.]

... I-I'm happy to see you.

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

...

[That makes it his turn to blush. He grins though, and lifts his hand to rub the back of his head.]

Ah... Me too.

Happy to see you, I mean! Not me!

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

Hehe ... Y-yes, I know.

[She's one of the few who's awlays believed in you, after all.]
