NaruHina Oneshots || Naruto x Hinata

First Date

Naruto's heart raced as he stood outside the quaint little restaurant, waiting for Hinata. This was their first official date, and he couldn't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions – nervousness, excitement, and a pinch of self-doubt. He had been through countless battles, but this was uncharted territory. 

He glanced at his reflection in a nearby window, adjusting the collar of his jacket and running a hand through his unruly hair. The Hokage could handle anything, he told himself, but dating was a different kind of adventure.

Just as he was about to send a clone to check on Hinata's whereabouts, he saw her approaching, her soft, lavender eyes filled with anticipation and a shy smile playing on her lips. Naruto couldn't help but feel a warmth spread through his chest at the sight of her. 

She was the one who had always believed in him, even when he doubted himself. Now it was his turn to make her feel special.

"Hey, Hinata," he said, grinning broadly as she reached him.

"Hello, Naruto," she replied, her voice soft and gentle. "Thank you for inviting me."

Naruto nodded, offering his arm for her to take. As their fingers interlocked, he led her into the restaurant. It was a cozy, dimly lit place with soft jazz music playing in the background, creating a romantic ambiance. Naruto had picked it after asking Sakura for some advice. He hoped it was the right choice.

They settled into their seats, and Naruto couldn't help but admire how beautiful Hinata looked in the candlelight. She was wearing a delicate blue dress that complimented her eyes, and her dark hair framed her face perfectly. As they looked through the menu, Naruto felt a surge of confidence.

"Hey, Hinata, I've been practicing some cooking at home," Naruto said, trying to strike up a conversation. "But I think this place is way better than anything I could make."

Hinata giggled softly. "I appreciate your effort, Naruto. I'm sure your cooking is delicious."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, grinning sheepishly. "Well, thanks, but I didn't want to mess up our first date."

Their conversation flowed naturally from there, a mix of nostalgic tales from their childhood and dreams of the future. Naruto talked about his experiences as Hokage, and Hinata shared her hopes of becoming a strong and compassionate leader herself. The nervousness from earlier began to fade away, replaced by a sense of connection and familiarity.

As the night continued, Naruto noticed a pair of musicians setting up a small stage nearby. The live music added to the enchanting atmosphere of the restaurant. He leaned across the table and asked, "Do you want to dance, Hinata?"

Her eyes widened in surprise, and she blushed slightly. "I'm not very good at dancing."

Naruto chuckled, taking her hand. "Don't worry; I'm not an expert either. Let's just have fun."

They rose from their seats and moved to the small dance floor. Naruto held Hinata close, feeling her warmth against him. Their feet stumbled over each other at first, but as they swayed to the music, they found a rhythm of their own. The world around them faded, and it was just the two of them, dancing in each other's arms.

The song ended, and they returned to their table, both flushed from the experience. Naruto couldn't help but feel a deepening connection with Hinata. They shared a dessert, and as the evening came to a close, he realized he didn't want the night to end.

Walking her to her front door, Naruto nervously said, "I had a great time tonight, Hinata."

Hinata smiled, her cheeks tinged with a soft blush. "I did too, Naruto. Thank you for everything."

He leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Can I see you again, Hinata?"

She nodded, her smile brightening. "I'd like that, Naruto."

As he walked away from her house, Naruto couldn't help but feel a sense of elation. The date had been a success, and he looked forward to many more adventures with Hinata. His nervousness had turned into excitement, and he knew that this was just the beginning of a beautiful journey they would embark on together.
