My Song Is Formless

Chapter Fifteen

Chapter Fifteen

Naruto was discharged the following evening and Hinata helped him to their bedroom and undressed him for the night into his pajamas.

Naruto assured Hinata that he's fine with her caring for him. Actually he's still embarrassed but it breaks his heart to see the crestfallen look in Hinata's eyes so he insisted that he's fine with her doing stuff for him...

After washing herself up, Hinata climbed into bed with Naruto and the blonde suddenly cleared his throat.

"Hinata..."

The bluenette faced her husband.

"Hm?"

"I... I don't really feel like going to sleep yet..."

"Erm... Okay... What do you wanna do?"

Naruto bit his lip before answering her.

"Ano.. Is there something I love to do if I don't sleep at night? I know I remember everything but somehow I can't seem to remember this..."

Hinata's face blushed uncontrollably as she looked away from her husband and started fiddling with her fingers.

"Erm... Ahm... I think you can't remember because it has something to do with me and I'd rather not say..."

"Come on Hinata... You promised to help me remember stuff... Now I'm having difficulty sleeping so tell me... What do I like to do when I can't sleep at night?"

Hinata refused to look at her husband when he suddenly grabbed her face and forced their eyes to gaze at each other.

"Hinata... What's wrong? Do I like to do illegal things at night?"

Hinata suddenly burst out into laughter as the blonde frowned at her.

"Aww come on Hinata! Don't make fun of me! I'm the one with the memory loss here!" Naruto pouted as Hinata wiped a tear away and cleared her throat.

"Well... It's not something illegal that's for sure... But..." her cheeks reddened again. "I don't know whether you're comfortable with the answer..."

Naruto screwed up his nose as he thought hard before shaking his head.

"What do I like to do?"

"Erm... You used to be a player remember?"

"Huh? What does this.......... Oooohhhhhh...." Naruto answered in realisation as he remembered his past.

"Uhm... That's what you love to do with me if you can't fall asleep..." Hinata whispered shyly as Naruto scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Ano... Don't get me wrong Hinata... You're hot... You're the hottest girl I've ever met but... I... Erm how do I say this... I mean I just got discharged and you're not a one night stand... You're my wife... So... If I were to sleep with you... I want it to be proper and special... Not when I'm in a recuperating condition... You get what I mean?"

Hinata's eyes started brimming with tears but she quickly blinked it away.. She noticed Naruto immediately gives in to her whenever he sees her hurt... She doesn't want Naruto to feel guilty towards her...

"It's fine Naruto kun. I understand." she gave him a soft smile. "I'm not gonna force you anyway... But I'm telling the truth when I say that's your hobby since you insisted for me to tell you..."

Naruto blushed a bit before tucking a hair behind her ear.

"Well... We can do a twenty questions thingy about ourselves so I can learn more about you... I'd like that..."

Hinata frowned.

"But Naruto kun... Sakura told me you can't be fed with too much information if not..."

Naruto shook his head with a smile.

"It's okay Hinata... If my head starts to hurt we'll immediately stop. Okay?"

Hinata gave a nod after a few seconds of thinking it over.

"Erm... soooo... what is your hobby?" the blonde chuckled nervously as he ran his fingers through his blonde hair.

Hinata blinked at him a few times before lying down on her pillow.

"Hmm... Playing the piano..."

Naruto's eyes sparkled at her answer as he too laid down beside her, both facing each other.

"Really? Well that's my hobby too!" then he gave a nervous laugh. "Oh well you should know since you're my wife... Silly me..."

Hinata gave a soft smile as she placed a hand on his whiskered cheek.

"Naruto kun, it's fine. I'm here to help you every step of the way, not make fun of you... Please trust in me..."

Naruto swallowed harshly as he slowly nodded his head.

"Well then, what's your next question?" the bluenette removed her hand as she said encouragingly.

"Hmm... Oh yea how long are we married?"

"Seven months twenty one days to be exact..."

"Wow... Only seven months and we've already gone through so much? I'm so sorry..."

Hinata's eyes widened.

"Sorry for what Naruto kun?"

"Uhm... Sorry for causing you to worry and put you through so much trouble that I'm in this state..." the blonde answered guiltily as Hinata snuggled closer to him and buried her face in his chest, resting her head underneath his chin.

"Naruto kun, please don't apologise. I'm really thankful to god that you're back in my arms... You have no idea how scared I was when Sakura told me about your accident... I was so terrified of living in a world without you..." Hinata confessed as she gave a few sobs here and there.

The blonde was taken aback by Hinata's gesture and after a few minutes, he finally wrapped his arms around Hinata...

Naruto was really confused.

He can't remember a thing about the pale beauty in his arms...

However, he's damn sure she wasn't lying about her status... He saw how their house was decorated and he even had time to look through their wedding album as he waited for Hinata to finish showering... Heck his friends and cousins told him that Hinata is indeed his wife. He even got to talk to pops over the phone and he confirmed it too...

Why can he remember everything except such an important person in his life??? He feels awkward for even entertaining thoughts about being intimate with her though he as hell want to... God he lost count the number of times he wants to jump her ever since he laid eyes on the beautiful bluenette... He remember his player ways and how he doesn't have attachment to the girls but he just can't shrug off the soft spot he has for Hinata...

Naruto was so lost in thought and only snapped out of his reverie when Hinata shifted against his body. The blonde finally looked down and slowly pulled his wife away, realising that she's already asleep. He placed her head back onto her pillow as he did the same for himself. He reached out a hand to trace her soft pink petal lips as he imagined what it would be like to kiss them...

"God what the hell am I thinking?!? I promised myself and Hinata that I will only sleep with her once I'm ready and the moment is right... I know I'm already married to her so technically the moment is right but... I want it to be built on memories since I don't remember a thing about us..."

Naruto mused over his thoughts and slowly, he too drifted off into dreamland like Hinata...
