-kiba pov-

I yawned and blinked a few times, slowly waking up. I noticed I couldn't get up. I looked down to find Hinata cuddled up on my chest, on top of me, causing me too blush hard. I didn't want to wake her up, so I just stayed there and waited. Closing my eyes, and listening to her chest rise and fall.

-hinata pov-

I slowly opened my eyes, and saw Akamaru sitting on the end of the bed. I also noticed a pair of arms wrapped around me. I remembered Naruto telling me I could sleep with Kiba yesterday. And if Akamaru was here that means...   I looked to the slightly up and to the side, and saw Kiba with his eyes closed. I slept in the same bed as Kiba. My face heat up immediately. I didn't get up, I just stared at his face.

"He's so cute.." I whispered to myself.

"Glad to know you think of me that way." He said in a husky voice due to just waking up. I squeaked and jumped out of bed, blushing even harder. he was laying down on his back propped up on his elbows, eyes now open and on me.

"Oh! H-Hi Kiba! W-Were you awake!?" He nodded. I can't believe he heard that! I was about to faint, but fought against it.

"Did... did you mean it?" He asked slowly. If I answered no, I probably wouldn't have a chance with him anymore. But if I answered yes, it might ruin what I already have! I decided to go for it.

"...Y...Yes." I answered quietly. I put my head down and shut my eyes. A few seconds had passed, and he still hadn't said anything. I did it. I ruined our friendship, with my stupid feelings. Tears started falling slowly.

"Sorry." I said so quiet, if he didn't have enhanced hearing he probably wouldn't have heard it. I was crying in front of him. Now he would see me as weak too, if he didn't already. I heard him get up and walk over to me. I expected him to hit me, or yell at me, but instead he wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me into a hug. I cried into his shoulder. He probably just felt bad for me.

"Um, Hinata?" He asked. I hummed in response, and waited to tell me he was sorry, and didn't feel the same way.

"W-Would you be my girlfriend?" He said extremely fast. My eyes widened, and I blinked a few times, processing what he just said. It was probably a joke, but I didn't care.

"Of course Kiba." I said sweetly, smiling. He sighed loudly and chuckled.

"Thank god." He said dramaticaly. I giggled, no longer feeling shy. When we pulled away, I leaned in and kissed his cheek. It was so cute watching him blush and stutter in response.

"How about we go get some breakfast?" I said still giggling. He nodded, and we headed down the stairs, holding hands.

-Naruto pov-

I went downstairs and decided to make breakfast. Temari was on the couch with her eyes closed, but I could tell she was awake.

"Hey Temari, watch doin' down?" I asked.

"I didn't want to listen to Kankuro's snoring, so I came down here. I hope that was ok, I mean-"

"No no, it's fine! By the way, how did Gaara sleep?" I asked the last part quietly.

"Actually, he slept better than he has in, well, forever! Well, when he came back. Do you know where he went? He left not long after you did, and was gone for hours." She asked, I could hear the worry in her voice.

"Oh, we were talking in my room until I left." She looked like she was thinking over what I said, then she smirked.

"Treat him well, ok?" She said.

"W-What?! No no, it's not like that! I don't- it's-"

"I'm not blind. And he seems to really care for you, so you better not hurt him." She said, pointing a finger at me aggressively. Did he really? And... did I like him? I started thinking about it, about him. About his cute red hair, about about his raspy voice, about his lagoon blue eyes that I could drown in. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts, I almost burned the pancakes.

"That smells so good!" I hear Choji say, coming down the stairs with Ino. She nodded in agreement. A few seconds later, Shino, Sasuke, Sakura, Kankuro, and Gaara come down as well. I smile at Gaara, blushing slightly. They sit down at the table. I took out three more pancakes out of the pan, and putting them on the plate with the others, and brought the plate to the table.

"Go ahead and start eating, I can make more when the others come." I said. In a split second, all the pancakes were taken, and everyone was fighting over the syrup. Then, I saw Hinata and Kiba walking down the stairs holding hands. I smirked as they walked over.

"Finally! do you know how long I have been waiting for you guys to get together!" I said, throwing my hands in the air. Kiba blushed, but surprisingly, Hinata smirked.

"Well, didn't I say I would ask him out after you got a date? Looks like I beat you." She said, sticking her tongue out at me Kiba looked shocked. I gasped, put my hand on my heart dramatically.

"How dare you. I'm hurt." I said. She giggled and sat down beside Kiba at the table.

-Sasuke pov-

I would never admit it, but Naruto's cooking was... I had no words for it. I was of my third pancake, and I didn't want to stop any time soon. I was also thankful to him for talking to Sakura. Whatever he said made her stop fangirling over me, which was a huge relief. It also made her start actually start training. Hopefully now she wouldn't hold our team back anymore.

"Hey Choji, where's Shikamaru?" Ino asked.

"He's shtill shleeping, I think." He said with a mouthful. Naruto sighed, and mumbled something about 'wasting potential with laziness' before going upstairs. He came back down a few minutes later, literally dragging Shikamaru with him.

"Just five more minutes." He mumbled. Naruto dropped him, causing his head to hit the ground.

"ow." I honestly thought he was going to go back to sleep on the floor, but he got up and sat down instead. I stopped eating after another two pancakes. Not because I wanted to, but because I shouldn't eat any more.

"Hey Naruto, are you still going to train me?" Sakura asked.

"Yup, I was planning to as soon as we got back." He responded. Sakura seemed... excited? This was a first. I hadn't seen her looking forward to anything, unless it had to do with me.

"Thank you for housing us Naruto." Shino said. I was surprised he spoke at all.

"Yeah, seriously, thanks!" Kiba said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Naruto scratched the back of his head.

"It's no problem! Actually, it's nice having company. Other than Hinata and a few others who don't live in this village, I haven't had anyone over." I wasn't all that surprised.

"Really?" Ino says. He nodded.

"Also, don't tell anyone this place exists. Only the people I've had over, a few ANBU, and the third hokage knows it exists. So I would like to keep it a secret." He said. we all agreed.

"Oh, also, I went out last night and got you guys scrolls."

"WHAT?!"
