Behind The Veil

Epilouge

Naruto beamed from his side of the bed and that itself gave Hinata enough happiness for a life time. Just two years ago, this boy was a ghost of himself, his trueself. A shell. And now here he is, proposing a liftime with her.

Of course she said yes. She'd be half stupid if she would have rejected him. It was so random. Like a slip of a tongue thing.

'Marry me hime', he said softly. So quickly she thought shr misheard his words.

But he stared down at her, uncertainty written all over his face, nervousness swirling in his beautiful blue iris'. Her skin flushed three different reds as she stumbled over her words, finally pushing a 'yes' out of her swollen lips.

Naruto did that to her. Kissed her so much, left his mark. And she loved it. He wrapped he in a tight hug, her ear pressed to his chest. She heard perfectly well the rappid thumps of his heart, and that triggered her heart to go thee times as fast.

She didn't care that they were only nineteen. Love doesn't wait for anyone she remembered her mother once saying.

She stared up at the boy, no man holding her so dearly. He's changed so much. He trained so much more after Sasuke was imprisoned, saying he had to work for him as well. She somewhat envied how he could be so devoted to his friends. She smiled as she lowered her hand to her stomache, wishing for something she wasn't sure she could have.

Would he want children? She imagined him with Konohamaru in the past years, he didn't seem to mind. Loved being a role model for the young ones. Her smile grew wider as she imagined him with a chold that had his hair and her eyes. A girl perhaps, she'd love that. But maybe he would like a boy, she could care less either way, they'd have her unconditional love.

"What is it Hinata?" His voice shook with worry. Only adding to her happiness, this big teddy bear worried about her. Her. The unworthy child of hiashi. The weak Hyuuga.

"Nothing", her arms wrapped around Naruto's neck as she yanked him down and stole his lips into a sweet, blissful kiss. She was thankful he had allowed her to see behind the veil covering his true emotions.

He smiled against her and she decided she couldn't ever live without these moments.

Without sweet, blissfull moments with Naruto Uzumaki.
