Hello everyone, I know I'm late in NaruHina month, but school happened then my anxiety kicked in and a whole bunch of stuff that isn't about NaruHina. So let's continue on with Day 10 even though I'm late here it is! Day 10: Dating. Thanks for the reviews everyone!

I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto-sensei does.

Naruto thought he would be prepared for anything. He saved the world, faced tough enemies, almost died, and fought on the moon, but nothing prepared him for dating. He couldn't remember a time when he was so nervous. He bugged Sai for a bunch of books on dating and visited Iruka many times for advice. Sai happily provided him book after book while Iruka teased him every time Naruto came over. He didn't mind because he needed all the information he could get about dating.

Sometimes he couldn't believe that Hinata still liked him. Then other times he felt bad that he kept Hinata in the back of his mind as a pleasant reminder whenever he started to doubt himself, but never imagined that someone would take her away from him. Naruto may have glared at a few guys when he returned to Konoha with her. He didn't no one to take her away again. Then again he didn't want to do something that would drive her away. He felt that it wouldn't happen, but he couldn't stop worrying about it.

However, he wasn't the only one in a sea of worry.

Hinata visited Ino for tips on how to wear makeup and walk in different shoes. She visited Kurenai for tips as well and for opinions on different outfits. Ino was more than happy to help her while Kurenai found the whole thing cute. Hinata had convinced herself that she would only be Naruto's friend, for so long that when Naruto hung out with her after a mission or training she drew a blank many times.

Her self-esteem may have improved since she was kid, but it didn't stop that familiar voice in the back of mind that reminded her that she could be boring. Hinata didn't want that, so before each date she read up on everything new that happened in the village. She came up with different topics of conversation and looked up things for them to do. She would make sure that they did something on every date.

Their first date started out a little awkward. Naruto didn't talk a lot while Hinata couldn't stop. However, throughout the day they started to calm down. Naruto finally talking while Hinata stopped jumping from different conversation points. Everything started to go well that Naruto wanted to try the chapter he read from Sai's books. That planned went out the window when he saw the prices.

Everything was so expensive! Naruto wouldn't have enough, until next week. He didn't know what to tell Hinata. He waited for the sigh of annoyance when he hesitated, not to feel her small hand in his bigger one as she suggested Ichiraku's.

Naruto couldn't believe it. He thought he ended their relationship before it started when it wasn't the case. Then she wanted to eat at his favorite place. He didn't know it was possible to fall deeper in love with someone. He smiled as he held her hand on the way to Ichiraku's. They eased into a comfortable conversation on their way to the familiar ramen shop. Ayame and Teuchi may have teased them, but Naruto couldn't think of a better way to end the date.

After their first date, Naruto made a promise to make their next dates much better. Hinata reassured him that he didn't need to that, but that pushed him to make them even better. He wanted to treat Hinata to the best things in life and see that bright smile on her face.

On their next date, Naruto did just that.

He always kept his word, after all.

I just love writing fluff with these two! I do I hope I can crank some more out before I have to go back to campus on Tuesday. Well see you later!
