I'm baaaaaaaaaack! I took some much-needed time off from all forms of social media and basically anything on the internet. I'm real sorry for doing it so abruptly but I just needed a break. I'm working on a mega update for More Than One Life, so I thought a nice fluffy piece or two on here would be fun!

Libraries Aren't So Bad – Late April

Research, research, and more research. Naruto thought to himself, flipping aimlessly through the text before him. I've done nothing but study for the past month. Slamming the book shut, a gruff noise coming from the pink haired girl beside him.

"Sorry," Naruto mumbles "I'm just bored Sakura, we've been nowhere but this library and with Kakashi-sensei and these damn book in over a month." Sighing, he lays his head down on the table.

"Well," Sakura pauses placing her finger, marking her spot in the medical text before her "you have a lot to catch up on, with leaving for those years to train and then the war you've falling behind." Smiling up at him, as he chuckles recognizing her words.

"I slacked off through school and still made it, I don't see why this can't be the same." Naruto tilts his chair back, resting his feet across the table.

"Being Hokage is a little different dummy, you have to do more than just punch people."

"Aaahh come on Sakura, ya know, is that all I'm good at…" Naruto turns, his sentences trailing at the sight walking towards their table

Hinata… Narutos mouth going dry, he shakes his head. It's just Hinata.

"Come to join our party?" Sakura questions, motioning to the growing stack of books before them.

"Oh, no." Hinata mumbles, glancing at the pair then back at the stacks.

"Why, not we're having a regular good time." Naruto laughs. "Sakura here is obsessed with some new medical book, but not enough to take a break and insult my intelligence, ya know." He smiles up at her, his grin widening as her cheeks turn to pink.

He's sweet, as always….I mean I guess I could stay I really do just need to read the book, but I'm not sure how much I'd actually remember with him here. Hinata turns, running her finger along the spines of the books on the shelf.

" I would, but I need to bring this book back to Kiba and Shino. We have a mission tomorrow regarding some ancient text."

"Really!" Naruto exclaims, his tone jealous. "I'd kill for a mission." Sighing Naruto looks up, noticing how Hinatas shirt had raised, exposing a strip of pale skin and the curve of her hip.

Hhhmmm… Shaking his head again, as the same feelings from the funeral begin to cross his mind. I bet her skins soft, it looks like it would be soft. Tilting his head, Naruto bites his bottom lip. Her hip would fit in my hand I bet…like her shoulder did at the festival. A small cough interrupting his thoughts, looking up to see Sakura giving him a pointed smirk just as Hinata turns around.

"I better get this to Kiba, he's a slow reader!" Hinata smiles, her eyes meeting Narutos. "Maybe next time?" She questions.

"Yeah next time." Naruto mummers, his eyes trailing down her legs as she leaves, the silences broken by Sakuras stifled laughs.

"Oh, shut up."

I know, I know, short and fluffy but I just wanted something to show Naruto developing feelings and we all know where those normally start for a teenage boy
