Part 85

It was late at night, around 10:12, and the living room was alive with laughter and warmth. The entire family sat together, watching a movie while munching on snacks, the air filled with the sounds of playful bickering and uncontrollable giggles.

Naruto and Hinata were seated on the couch, a cozy sight with Naruto’s arm draped protectively around Hinata’s shoulders. In front of them, Boruto, Sarada, and Himawari sat on the floor, right in front of the couch, fully immersed in the movie.

Occasionally, Boruto would make silly comments about the characters, earning playful jabs from Sarada. Himawari laughed at their banter, her bright giggles lighting up the room, while Naruto occasionally chimed in with his dad jokes that made everyone groan but secretly smile.

As everyone focused on the screen, Naruto gently pulled Hinata closer, his arm tightening slightly around her. Hinata leaned a little more into him, resting her head on his shoulder, and whispered softly so that only he could hear:

Hinata: "Thank you so much, for everything, Naruto-kun…"

Naruto turned his head slightly, his expression softening as he glanced at her. He whispered back, his voice filled with emotion:

Naruto: "I should be the one thanking you, Hinata. Thank you for always standing by my side, for loving and supporting me even when I was a complete idiot back then. Thank you for this life…"

He paused, his gaze drifting toward Boruto, Sarada, and Himawari, who were laughing at something Boruto had said.

Naruto: "…for this family. For everything. Thank you for being born, Hinata."

Hinata’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she looked up at him, her heart swelling at his heartfelt words.

Hinata: (whispering) "Naruto-kun, I love you… so, so much."

Naruto leaned down slightly, his forehead brushing against hers as he whispered back:

Naruto: "I love you too, Hinata."

In that quiet moment, it was as if time stood still for them. The chaos of their younger years, the battles fought, and the sacrifices made all seemed worth it for the love and happiness they shared now.

Hinata wiped away a tear discreetly before settling back into his arms, the warmth of his love enveloping her completely.

Meanwhile, Boruto glanced over his shoulder briefly and noticed the tender moment between his parents. Smiling softly, he nudged Sarada and whispered:

Boruto: "Look at those two lovebirds. Makes me wonder if we’ll still be like that when we’re their age."

Sarada rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide the faint blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Sarada: "We’ll see if you can stop being annoying for long enough to reach that point."

Boruto chuckled, leaning a bit closer to her.

Boruto: "Oh, come on, you love me like this, Princess."

Sarada smirked but didn’t reply, her gaze returning to the screen, though her small smile betrayed her true feelings.

The movie continued, the room filled with the comforting sound of family, love, and laughter. It was another peaceful night, a memory they would all cherish forever.
