Still Falling for You [NH year 2020]

March - Fanfic/Fanart inspo

She couldn't help but shiver. He made her melt so easily in his arms that she kept her lips parted when his pulled back, not too far, for air. Since when hadn't they felt the other's warmth? Too long since he crashed her lips once again for another dance, holding her a bit closer against him.

"Fuck... you're really here" he mumbled, letting his thumb scrolled on her damp lip. "I'm not dreaming, I'm not mad."

What was he saying? They already saw each other, talked to each other. But his agitated gaze was saying something else. He was surprised to see her. How was it possible? Hinata took in several breaths to stay focus but his breath mixed with hers, his strong smell intoxicated her senses. She pushed him away, pull him closer, and this contact shoke her. His hands kept wandering, taking advantage of her body and it was so pleasant! Stop, she had to think.

"I missed you..."

She jolted. As he made his way between her tights, longing for her warmth, and he kissed above her collar bone, she took her knife and pressed it against her stomach. Blinking to get rid of his intoxication, Naruto stopped himself. Both panting, their gaze found each other.

"Touch me again and I'll cut you in half."

Having hear the message loud and clear, he moved away, not far enough, letting Hinata go back to her senses but she struggled to contain herself. Among her restless night, her feelings and desire for this closeness she was fighting since they last saw each other, she felt all her questions rush on the tip of her tongue.

"You left me and you dare say you missed me?! Go to hell Naruto!" She loudly kept talking to cover his voice "Where's my chest, like that we're done with each other." she continued, moving towards him while he wanted to talk. "We made a deal: I free you, you tell me where you hid what I need to leave!"

"Listen to me dammit!" he exclaimed, gripping her shoulders. "I thought you were dead!"

"Dead? Dead! You're the one who attacked me that night!" she was furious.

"I would never do such thing, Hinata. I love you!"

As it came, the tension fell again. Truth inhabited his tired pupils but Hinata had proofs, her memory didn't ticked her, neither did her beating heart. No, she mustn't fall in his trap. That night, he had hold her as he was doing now.

"Stop lying..." she disengaged herself.

"I'm not! On the beach, pirates who had recognised lashed out at us. I tried to protect you but they were outnumbered me. They knocked you out and hold me while they threw you in the sea. Hinata..." his voice broke. "I thought I've lost you forever."

"Why didn't you say something when we saw each other the other day!"

"I thought I was hallucinating since I see you in my dreams and in my moments of madness. I talk to you when I zone out or when I'm drunk or when I'm sober. Like a ghost, you haunted my mind Hinata because I thought that, because of me, you were dead... Please, believe me..."

An expression of deep pain appeared on his face, knotting Hinata's stomach. She didn't know what to think anymore. The more she listened to him, the more that reality matched with her memories. Despite that, a blank was left in her mind.

"How did I ended up on the island if it's not you who took me there? How did I survived?"

No sooner had she finished her question than she thought of her first experience with Uzushio's eddies. They didn't know each other yet so he could never have saved her that day. Moreover, no one could cross them, except for Naruto, she reminded herself, and... and for herself... her eyes widened.
