I'm On My Way. (Naruto Fanfiction)

Chapter Ten

     Walking with their fingers interlaced, Naruto talked to his date about the planetarium. "This may be surprising, but I've loved this place since I was a kid." He admitted as they sat down, getting ready for the show to start. "Really? I've never actually been to one."
He smiled brightly, "It's a good thing we chose to come here then."
As they looked up at the beautiful star simulator, Hinata couldn't help but think of how cute it was for Naruto to find it so interesting. Naruto whispered, "You know the word "constellation", comes from a Latin term meaning 'set with stars'."
She shook her head no and continued to listen as he told her other facts. It brought a smile to her face as she saw how fascinated and educated he was about everything.

After their date, Naruto took Hinata home, and she smiled at him brightly as they stood on her front porch. "That was fun, Naruto, along with your star and constellation facts."
"I'm glad you had fun, I thought you'd be bored." He said laughing a little, she shook her head while placing her hand on his shoulder.
"It was perfect, I learned a lot about you today." Taking her hands in his he smiled,
"We have to do it again then. Don't we?"
"Definitely." She nodded with a smile.
He leaned down and kissed her lips softly.
"Goodnight, Hinata."
"Bye, Naruto."

"Naruto? Took you to a planetarium? Naruto Uzumaki? Really?" Sakura asked in disbelief, making Hinata laugh. "Yeah he did. It was adorable, how he kept telling me little fun facts. I learned a lot about him tonight."
"Aww, you're learning more about him than I ever knew, wow. He must really like you."
Smiling she said, "I hope so. I really like him."
"Aww! Hina, you guys need to date already. You know homecoming is coming up, he's gonna ask you. Oh my god, I may not have a date, but we're going to look cute in our dresses. I can't wait."
Laughing a little, she said, "You're gonna get a date, Sakura, have you not seen every guy that stares at you? You're beautiful." Sighing she said, "Yeah, but I only want one guy and he's antisocial and stupid. I need to move on really."

Trying to think of who she was talking about, Hinata gasped as she had an epiphany, "Oh my god! Sasuke! You like Sasuke?"
Laughing Sakura said, "I've always had a hopeless crush on him. I hate it, he doesn't even like me."
"You realize he fought someone over you? He wouldn't of done that if he didn't like you."
"He just did it because he's always been protective, he probably thinks of me more as of a sister than anything."
"I'll get Naruto to talk to him, or maybe I'll talk to him, but I think you should just casually ask him."
"I can't do that."
"Why not?"
"That's weird, and what if I get turned down? I've never been turned down and it's not going to happen now."

Hinata laughed, "Sakura, it's not weird, who says you can't take charge and ask out a guy you like? Because the chances of you getting turned down, are slim. Even if he says no, do you know how many guys want to go to homecoming with you? You'll be fine."
She didn't say anything for a little bit, then mumbled. "Okay. I will."
"Yay! I'm gonna be cheering you on as you do."
She laughed, "Okay, Hina."

The next morning, Hinata was trying to be a match maker for her friend. "Does he ever talk about her?" She asked Naruto over the phone, as she set at her vanity styling her hair.
"Sometimes, why?"
"I can't tell you why right now, but he does, do you think he has interest in her?"
"Well yeah, he's the only girl he ever talks about, mostly. Did he ask her out or something? He didn't tell me, if he did."
Naruto said, clearly confused.
"He didn't, I just needed info. Thank you."
"You're welcome?" He more asked than said.
"I promise I'll tell you eventually." She said smiling."Okay, anyway what are you doing?"
"My hair, you?"

"Nothing, bored."
"Go do your homework." She suggested, he sighed. "I'm tired though."
She laughed while picturing him pouting cutely. "Me too, but then its gonna be late and you'll get points taken off." She sighed while looking at the time, realizing that it was almost time for her to leave. "How does this look?"
She asked, sending him a picture of her hair.
"It looks good, Hime."
She smiled and said, "Thank you, I will see you in school soon." He nodded with a smile, "See you there, Hime."
