Chapter Sixteen

Naruto screwed his face up as he rolled over and felt something soft against his back. He slowly cracked open his eyes and looked down. He suddenly felt a sense of loss when he didn't see Hinata in his arms...

Naruto immediately looked behind him wondering whether the soft thing is Hinata. To his disappointment it wasn't.

Suddenly the smell of something very mouth-watering drifted into the bedroom and Naruto as if in a trance, slipped the blanket off him and followed the aroma... It led him to the kitchen and what he saw softened his eyes.

He saw the side view of Hinata as she stirred something in the pot and after a few seconds she lifted the ladle to taste the soup before giving a soft smile and switching off the stove.

She then took a bowl and used the other hand to carry the pot using its handle to the dining table. Naruto watched her intently as she poured the soup into the bowl and went back to the kitchen to place the pot into the sink and get a pair of chopsticks and spoon...

The blonde then decided to make his presence known as he cleared his throat just as Hinata has finished setting up the table and was pouring for him a glass of iced water.

"Morning Naruto kun...." Hinata greeted warmly as she looked up with a smile. "I've already prepared breakfast for you."

Naruto leaned against the wall as he crossed his arms.

"You didn't have to Hinata..."

"Of course I do. You are my husband Naruto kun... Besides, I promise to make you ramen every morning if I'm not in a rush." the bluenette replied.

"You did?" Naruto asked, surprised evident in his tone.

Hinata nodded as Naruto pouted at her.

"I was wondering where were you... I woke up and you weren't in my arms... I thought princess Hinata chan left me..."

Hinata froze at his words and Naruto only realised what he said when he saw Hinata as still as a statue.

"Uhm.... Ahm..." Naruto quickly uncrossed his arms as he flailed them in front of him. "I have no idea where that came from Hinata chan! Wait shit I said it again! Erm... I mean..."

"Na-Naruto kun..."

"No no I don't anyhow give nicknames to girls! You gotta believe me! I-I-I didn't know what the hell I was saying!"

"Naruto kun..."

"It just slipped out! I have no control over my mouth! Yea that's it!"

"NARUTO KUN!" Hinata suddenly yelled and Naruto stopped his rants as his blue eyes finally focused on the bluenette.

"It's fine..." she whispered as Naruto shook his head.

"No-no it's not... I... I told you I wanted to take it slow and here I am flirting with you... It's not fair to you that I'm stringing you and pulling back at the same time..." Naruto answered softly as Hinata's eyes softened.

"You are definitely not stringing me along Naruto kun... Believe me..."

"But that nickname I gave wasn't appropriate given our situation..."

"It is Naruto kun... It is... And you wanna know why?" Hinata decided to take control over the conversation as she took steps towards her husband, till they were standing right in front of each other.

Naruto is 180 cm tall whilst Hinata is only 160 cm but right now, the blonde feels intimidated by his petite wife as he just stared down into her lavender eyes.

"W... Wh-why..." Naruto managed to croak out as Hinata reached out for his hand and intertwined their fingers.

"Because... You always love flirting with me... You always love to make me blush and squeak in embarrassment even after we're married... And that nickname you called me... That's what you love to call me... Everytime..."

Naruto swallowed his saliva nervously as Hinata pulled him gently towards the dining table.

"Now if that's done, let's eat. Your ramen is waiting for you." Hinata gave him a warm smile as Naruto slowly smiled back at his wife and followed her...
