FRIDAY AUGUST 28th
The birds were chirping, the sun was rising against the thick blinds. At six the alarm went off, the fast melodic pace of an xylophone. For once, in a whole year, he didn't feel groggy or upset at all. Or already wishing the day had ended before it even had the chance to start. When he clicked it away, Naruto leaned back on his hands, looking at his large master bedroom with a smile on his face. He dropped back into the mattress in pure elation.
Hinata said yes to going on a date.
Naruto hadn't felt this much happiness or excitement in a long time. Hinata was that one missing piece he needed to complete his life, and he wasn't going to fuck up his chances.
Slow was a very annoying word to him. He wanted to kiss her, smother her, make love to her, fuck her, cook for her, shower her, and do anything to put a smile on Hinata's pretty face.
But he would live with slow because in the reality of it, time didn't exist any more.
They didn't have to worry about only having a few months of summer love, or the pressure of one of them leaving. Slow meant Naruto could do everything he didn't get to do for Hinata last summer. He didn't need to protect his heart from the idea of love, and neither did she. He really could wine and dine her, and not second guess what he was sharing with her.
Hinata was still very obviously playing it safe. She was taking her time to slowly let him into her life again and every moment has been a blessing. In the past week they've been progressing even more. She let him buy her lunch (secretly of course) and she even allowed him to send her flowers. Although their relations were to remain a secret from Kakashi, Naruto couldn't help but show his interest loudly.
Three days ago when he gave her a very expensive bouquet of pure lilac and purple roses, he sent it to their job.
Everyone was crowded around the receiving desk where Kiba was protecting the arrangement with his life. "Are any of you Hinata? NO! So stop trying to take the damn bouquet." Hinata had just gotten off the elevator when she saw everyone turn to her, calling her name. "Hina someone sent you flowers!" She nearly stopped walking seeing all of the eager and curious faces of her coworkers. Naruto stood several feet behind the crowd, pretending to be in conversation with Sai. But the second they locked eyes he winked at her, and she felt the electricity run from her head to her toes. She kindly took the flowers from Kiba, and opened the little note left inside, placed in between a plastic holding stick.
"I can't wait to kiss that adorable blush off your cheeks
