“Hey Naruto your dad’s on his way up to see you” Choji poked his head around the doorway of his friends office, then noticing the look on his friends face he paused “Is everything OK?” “No…” Naruto was so distracted he gave an honest answer to the question. Raising an eyebrow Choji entered the office fully and asked “What’s up?” “Nothing… I’m fine” Choji was about to leave when Naruto stopped him, he turned back looking curious. “What is it?” “I need to ask you something…” “Sure” “How important is honesty in a long lasting relationship?” “Depends… if you mean tell the girls she looks gorgeous first thing in the morning, or don’t tell her all the things that go on in here then… honesty is what you make it. If you mean cheating, or manipulating someone else into doing what you want then it means a lot. Ino would never forgive me for cheating and if she thought I was trying to make her do stuff just for my benefit she’d kick me out.” Choji worded his response carefully, he knew what Naruto was asking and though he respected his friend he also deeply disapproved of his friend’s behaviour. “So you think…” “I think that one day this’ll come back to bite you in the ass. Hinata seems like a good kid, and she’d be good for you but you could screw this up so badly that she considers divorce before the marriage even happens.” Naruto was silent for a while before a knock at the door informed his that his father was here. Smiling he nodded Choji away and as he left Choji let Minato into the room. He listened with half an ear to his father’s instructions, he was still being treated like a complete novice when it came to this work and Jiraiya would be on his way back next month. His father seemed to notice Naruto’s distraction just like Choji and soon Naruto found himself being subjected to another searching look. “Everything alright son?” Minato’s voice had an understanding tone that made his son suddenly feel like he could trust his father with his secret. “Can I ask you a question?” Naruto said tentatively “Of course son” Minato was surprised by Naruto’s serious expression “What is it?” “Have you ever cheated on mum?” There were a few minutes of silence and then Minato nodded “Yes” “Oh” Naruto was surprised, of all the long time couples he knew that were part of their lifestyle only his parents seemed right. Every other couple argued like crazy, loads of them ended up separated and a few even made their way through the divorce courts. Divorce was looked down as it caused more leaks for police to get through, mistresses were widely accepted but as far as Naruto could see this only caused more problems. “You seem very surprised” “Well yeah, you and mum are perfect.” “We work well Naruto because we love each other… let me guess this thing with… Hinata?” he inclined his head questioning unsure of the name, Naruto nodded and he continued “just got serious?” “We haven’t even slept together” Naruto rolled his eyes at his father’s smirk. “Naruto with you that means it is serious” Naruto still didn’t respond but Minato wasn’t surprised at his sons reticence especially after his revelation “Naruto in your mind you’re protecting her right now, she’s probably not ready for sex and you’re making sure she doesn’t feel pressured right?” his son nodded “And that’s good… I’ve never given your mother reason to doubt me… and that’s why she and I aren’t like the others. They have affairs, mistresses, girlfriends whatever they want to call it, they have particular girls that’s where they go wrong. When there is a reason your mother and I can’t be together… she’s ill, or on holiday, stuff like that then I go elsewhere but the rest of the time she’s all I want and she knows it. If this girl means that much to you then you have to realise that there will be no other relationships, no second dates, in fact it’s best if you can make it no dates at all. Our membership to The Gilded Leaf helps in that respect.” “And that’s how it works?” “That’s how it works for us. If she means a lot to you then do what you need to make it work. It’d be nice to see you finally settle down.” “You’re hardly one to talk, you were older than me when you and mom hooked up” “Yes but my mother wasn’t hoping for grandkids.” “I hadn’t really thought about kids” Naruto’s brow furrowed as he imagined screaming baby’s and annoying toddlers, it was something he’d thought of before but this time as he thought about it he imagined Hinata soothing the wails and stopping their children from misbehaving. “I know that look” Minato smiled at his son “I’ve seen it on many faces, including my own. Son you’re running headlong into something you don’t understand, and I pity you for it but there’s no fighting it.” “Dad…” “Son do you do things just because it makes her like you? Have you done things to make her feel like she depends upon you?” Naruto’s eyes widened, as his father voiced exactly what he felt. “Are you doing all you can to make sure she thinks you’re her hero? Son you’re going to love that girl, and it’s going to last. You just need to decide what to do about that, is she going to know everything about you or is she going to only ever see you as her hero. Both are hard but you must choose only one in order for this to work.” “I do like being her hero” “So be that for her, just understand that one day she’ll need more than that, she’ll need a partner she can rely on. Your life is about to change drastically, if you need help with the changes just call me.” “Thanks Dad” Naruto grinned at his father, both his and Choji’s advice had made sense but it was his father’s guidance that he would follow. Ino and Choji were childhood sweethearts and Ino had never lived a life without an element of illegality to. Hinata was an honest young woman much like his mother had been before she settled down with Minato, if anyone knew how to bring someone so far into the life that it was like they were practically born to it his father did. “If only I could work out how to take things further without freaking her out, I know she wants to, she admitted that last night but… she’s really innocent.” “I do have one piece of advice that might help you out my boy…” Slipping a hand into his pocket Minato pulled out his wallet and extracted a card from it “Call this guy, tell him your problem, he’s… helpful.”
“I can’t believe I got drunk” Hinata moaned into Sakura’s shoulder, the pink haired girl exchanged a small smile with Ten-Ten who was mixing coffee for them all, the brunette had a wry expression. “I never really drink and the cocktails were fruity and sweet, it didn’t really feel like I was drinking.” “That’s the danger of cocktails and alco-pops. He shouldn’t have let you drink so much.” “He was trying to be nice, he knew I was missing Hanabi so he was letting me try whatever I wanted.” “Or trying to get you so drink you would fall into bed with him, it’s a good thing you turned him away.” “That’s just it, he didn’t try a thing… I don’t remember much about the car ride home but I know he didn’t even… try to touch me.” “You mean he didn’t cop a feel?” Ten-Ten asked with a grin, the blushing young woman nodded in agreement “Well that’s surprising for Naruto… are you sure your clothing was all in place?” “Of course, all he took off was my shoes, then he tucked me in.” she smiled dreamily in remembrance, it had been so long since someone had taken care of her that she appreciated the gesture. “That does sound romantic” Sakura agreed with an indulgent smile. “I think it was, but then I have very little romance in my life” “Don’t we all” Sakura agreed, it had been a long time since she’d been in a relationship and they had never been hugely romantic even when she was. “How did Naruto react to it all then, he seems to have been the perfect gentleman so far.” “He stayed that way, when he walked me to the car he just put his arm around my waist, it was sweet. He called this morning to check I slept alright and to ask me out again” “Well if it’s a place that serves alcohol be a little more restrained this time.” Sakura smirked at Hinata’s flush “And remember not to mix drinks cos that’s even more fatal, don’t switch from wine to spirits or vice versa.”
Shifting the shopping around in his arms Naruto managed to get his keys from his pocket but as he inserted the correct one in the lock he paused. Turning back Naruto looked over his shoulder, he had a feeling he was being watched and it puzzled him. Naruto was not a suspicious man but he could usually tell when someone was spying him. Shaking his head he decided to forget about it, he had big plans for tonight and no one could get to him here, before the security was as perfect as it could get here but he’d strengthened it when Hinata had moved in wanting to ensure her protection. He entered the house and found that Hinata was still not home, she’d told him that she was going to stay out with friends will later in the evening, she’d agreed to another dinner date and he had decided that this one should be at home, he was taking his father’s advice and making sure she was comfortable would be important for this situation. He put in a lot of hard work wanting to show Hinata his potential for domesticity before he did all he could to ensure that he got exactly what he wanted from her.
Entering her home Hinata paused in the hallway sniffing at the air, the scent of good well cooked food pervaded the air and she followed it stripping off her coat as she went. Naruto grinned at her from the stove were pots simmered and caused the glorious smells that had drawn her in. He grinned at her in welcome and she smiled shyly back suddenly very conscious of her grubby jeans and faded t-shirt. “I’m serving in 10 minutes, is that OK?” “Sure.” Mentally running through her wardrobe Hinata wondered what she could throw on that would look halfway decent, Naruto was dressed in what he considered to be casual but to her it seemed a lot smarter than she could manage. “I’ll just go get changed” “You look fine as you are” Naruto told her honestly, he would prefer her in a skirt but her t-shirt had a habit of falling from her shoulder an action that exposed the pale skin underneath and informed him that she was not wearing a bra. “Are you sure” she looked doubtfully down at herself but he just nodded and invited her to try the sauce he was making. He moved around the kitchen like a whirlwind making Hinata watch him with fascinated interest. When she was finally sitting at the dinner table Hinata couldn’t help but blush at the effort he’d put into all this, there was a neat array of gardenias on the table and the food he placed in front of her looked like it had come from a gourmet restaurant “The flowers are beautiful, and everything smells delicious.” “Good” Naruto poured wine into both of their glasses and then sat down across from her “This way I can have a drink with you.” “Are we so sure I should drink?” Hinata asked bashfully but Naruto just laughed “We’re at home, if anything goes wrong I’ll just tuck you in like last time.” She blushed beautifully at that, he smirked and reassured her “It was very cute” “Thanks but cute suited me when you knew me before, I’m not ten years old anymore.” “Thank God for that considering the other thing you and I talked about!” “What?” her eyes widened “What did I say…? You said it wasn’t embarrassing!” “It wasn’t… you just said you were looking forward to us… spending the night together.” His expression told her all she needed to know and she flushed deeply “That’s embarrassing!” she exclaimed angry that he brushed it off so easily “Why didn’t you tell me?” she covered her face with her hands. “Because I wanted you to look at me” he reached across to her “See, you won’t look at me.” “I can’t believe I said that!” “Neither can I but I’m glad you did” he waited for her to peek through her fingers before saying more “Hinata we’re moving slowly at your request but it’s tough for me… It’s nice to know you’re looking forward to it to.” “Oh God!” her fingers closed back up after hearing that, he just laughed and took a sip from his glass “Hinata the food is getting cold.” “Don’t care” she muttered petulantly but soon her hands dropped from her face and she looked over at him “I didn’t act too foolishly did I?” “No, not at all.” He watched as she slowly started to eat the meal he had prepared, her eyes lit up as she tried it and she began to eat a little faster. “Good?” “Very good.” The rest of the meal passed pleasantly with no more embarrassments for Hinata and by the end of it she had forgotten her mortification. She sat still as they finished and he moved to clear the table and bring her dessert, he told her to go and pick a movie whilst he arranged everything and she did as she was told, the wine made her feel wonderfully light and she was enjoying being spoiled. Ever since she had entered this house she had felt like she was living in a dream, now with Naruto, an attractive man who she trusted deeply, waiting on her hand and foot she felt like she had achieved a sort of Zen state. When he walked out with a glass of white wine and a slice of chocolate cheesecake she was sure of it. The blond sat on the couch with Hinata, one arm lifted for her to settle under and she did so blushing furiously, the evening had been better than he’d planned. Naruto was an excellent cook, sure the cheesecake had been brought from a local patisserie but everything else had been his own work. After his discussion with his father Naruto had made a decision about Hinata’s ‘fear’ and his ever growing hunger for her combined with their declining alone time so when he poured her white wine he had added a fine white powder to the glass and mixed it in. Now as he watched her sip it he was glad she didn’t have a refined palate, something like that might have tipped her off straight away to the slightly odd taste to the chardonnay.
I know I promised a lemon in this chapter but I was having trouble finding time to write it, it’ll be in the next one though.
