Naruto and Hinata's Thunder Storm

A Series of Fortunate Thunder Storms 

Thunder Storm Uno: Naruto and Hinata 

It was a cold spring night and everything was silent. 

For now. 

Suddenly, a clap of thunder broke through the silence and made a small violet-haired girl squeak in fear."Eep!"Hinata squeaked as she dived back under the covers once again. Oh no...not another thunderstorm! Hinata thought frantically, hoping upon everything that she would just feint before she died of fright. 

You see, Hinata was deathly afraid of thunderstorms. And all this time she has had to deal with them all alone. 

She used to confide in her mother, because they both were afraid of thunderstorms. 

But her mother passed away when she was a little girl, and besides that, her father was too torn up to be any comfort. I miss mom. Hinata thought before diving back under the covers in fear. This needs to stop. I hate being so scared of thunder storms. 

Hinata had always been afraid of thunder storms, and she heard from her father before he grew cold that he was her mother's only comfort. He would hold her through the night and he would even hold her and Hanabi when they were babies. 

But Hanabi was no longer afraid of thunder storms, and her dad couldn't be there for her. 

Suddenly, Hinata had an idea. She could always go see Naruto and ask if he would let her spend the night with him. 

She and Naruto had grown close since they went on a mission together when they were 16. Now, three years later, they were the best of friends and she had managed to keep her secret love for him hidden and had stopped feinting all together(Save for the occasional thunder storm.) 

Gathering her courage, and a couple of things, she set off towards Naruto's modest apartment. She tried not to cry at every clap of thunder and streak of lightning across the purplish-black sky, but resigned to a small squeak of fear instead. 

As she approached the door to Naruto's apartment, she started to worry about something other than the distant thunder 

What do I say to him? Oh, I hope he doesn't laugh at me for being afraid of thunder. 

While she stood worrying about what to say, an especially loud clap of thunder scared her into knocking on the door as quick as she could. 

To her great relief, Naruto opened the door almost immediately. 

"Hinata? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" 

She would have been touched by his concern, but her eyes widened at what he said, and she reached up to see if she had really been crying. 

She had been. Well, was. 

"C-can I come in?"Hinata said, voice wavering with fear and a slight stutter. 

"Oh, um...yeah, of course!"He said in confusion, stepping aside for her to enter. 

"I'm sorry."She mumbled, knowing that Naruto could always understand her quiet voice. 

"Oh, it's no problem, Hina!"He said with a grin, not failing to notice her frightened eyes and soaked clothes. 

"N-Naruto...?" 

"Sorry Hina, but there's no time to talk right now. We have to get you out of those clothes."Hearing the words that just came out of his mouth, they both blushed a deep red color and Naruto waved his arms in a vain attempt to backtrack.
