Sorry for the long ass update lol, I got stuck at some point because I seriously over think my work and plus school and work pretty much take up the majority of my free time. Anyway hope you enjoy!

Hinata kept her hands over her face in brace of the impact with the thugs hand despite the fact that he had stopped mid-way.

"Aaaaa?" The thug looked toward the direction where the voice came from. There was a man with blonde hair a few feet away with a flushed look on his face. However, his eyes were fierce and glared straight at the man. The thug flinched, feeling somewhat intimidated by the man until one of his friends pointed out that he was drunk. He squinted his eyes to take a closer look on what they were talking about and realized that the man couldn't keep his balance. He was slightly swaying where he stood and ended up leaning against the wall next to him. The thug laughed feeling his confidence come back.

"Who the hell are you, pal?"

"My name is Uzumaki, Naruto! I'll be the next hokage!"

"What? The fucks a hokage?"

Hinata finally took a peak between her fingers at the direction of her savior.

Naruto pointed his thumb to his chest with the same hand that he used to lean against the wall for support causing him to lose balance making his drunkeness more noticeable. His shoulder landed against the wall with his head resting against it. He stayed in that position in silence for a few seconds before falling asleep with a loud snore.

Hinata could feel all her hope for rescue fly through an imaginary window.

The thug was both amused and annoyed. "Hey!"

Naruto jerked his head up. He narrowed his eyes toward they're direction forgetting the situation for a moment. He perked up once he realized what was happening and pushed himself off the wall. He heavily swayed and took a wide step to keep himself up.

The thug and his friends laughed at Naruto's clumsiness.

"Listen, ya drunk bastard, just mind your own fucking business and we'll consider not hurting you after we're finished with this chick." The thug grabbed Hinata's wrist pulling it away from her face. She squealed and kicked the thug's shin which made him howl in pain.

"Goddamn you!" Again, the thug swung his arm back but this time he was stopped by a strong grip on his forearm. "What the-" The man and his friends widened there eyes at the drunk Naruto, who just a moment ago stood a few feet away and couldn't keep his balance, standing over the thug.

Hinata herself was equally shocked as her harassers. She was able to see clearly Naruto's face this time. He was noticeably drunk but his eyes were of a sober man filled with fire.

He tightened his grip on the man's arm, "I said let her go."

"How the hell-" The man was stopped with a sudden upper cut form Naruto's right arm immediately knocking him out and letting go of Hinata's arm. The man fell to the floor while his friends jumped back. They were going to counter by ganging up on him but Naruto's eyes had made them hesitate. He stared at them as if he was anticipating their attack. Then he began to position himself into a fighting stance, specifically a boxing stance. He was prepared to fight and he seemed as if he definitely knew how.

The thugs were intimidated and decided to retreat not before they picked up their unconscious friend on the floor. They cursed Naruto as they fled and Naruto just gave a drunk giggle. "Cowards!"

Hinata stood there amazed. She kept her eyes on Naruto all the while he punched the thug and watched them flee. She felt his confidence and his strength and she was in awe. It was hard for her to believe that he was drunk.

She jumped when Naruto suddenly turned to her.

"Are you okay!? Are you hurt!?" HIs voice was loud and energetic. He had a genuine concerned look on his face which made Hinata a little nervous.

"O-oh, yes. I'm not hurt..."

Naruto sighed in relief. "That's good! I'm glad!" He smiled brightly at Hinata which made her heart give a little jump. She's never felt this way before so she became uneasy. She wanted to quickly thank him and leave when, suddenly, she felt his hands gently grab her face. Before she could react, Naruto had pressed his lips against hers.

She quickly pushed him away wiping at her mouth and just stared at him with wide eyes and a red face. That was her first kiss.

It was far from how she imagined her first to be. She didn't want to be intoxicated nor did she want her partner to be as well, let alone for him to be a complete stranger. She just wanted a normal kiss. Still, she couldn't help but feel some sort of sensation linger from where his lips contacted hers.

"Are y-y-you mad!? How could you do that?!"

"Eh? Ah?" Naruto looked at her confused. "But you're my wife?"

Hinata looked at him as if he was crazy. "Your w-w-w-wife? How is that even possible!? You don't even know my name!"

"Sure I do! You're-" He suddenly let out a burp.

Hinata gave him an appalled look. She was tired and tipsy and she did not feel like being pushed around any further. All her frustrations from that day began to rise up in her. Her mind was running from the memories of her cousin scolding at her and drunk ino making fun of her innocence. She's had enough and she just wanted to go home.

"Sir, I am thankful for you saving me, but please don't t-tease me like that!" Hinata was red with embarrassment and anger. She turned to leave. "If you will excuse me-"

Again, she was stopped by someone grabbing her arm, but instead if a thug it was a drunk Naruto. She quickly turned to face him.

"Let me go-!"

"Hinata!" Naruto suddenly yelled.

She stopped. She was in complete shock. "How... How do you know my name..?"

"Like I said, you're my wife!"

She immediately got angry again. What if he actually has a wife that looks similar to herself and he's mistaken her? He shouldn't be messing around with others if he does, Hinata thought to herself. She quickly took a look at his hands in search of a ring and couldn't find one. Then she looked him in the eyes.

"Excuse me, sir-"

"Naruto"

Hinata blinked. "What?"

"You call me Naruto!"

"Uhm, okay. Naruto, you are-"

"-kun."

Hinata this time just looked at him.

"You usually call me Naruto-kun!" He gave a small laugh and let out a strong scent of alcohol.

Hinata just ignored the madness that was before her and continued. "Sir, you are drunk. It's best if you head home now so that you don't get yourself into any more trouble." She kept slighlty pulling her arm towards herself as a hint for him to let go but he didn't.

"If you're not my wife then we should get married." Naruto said with all seriousness. Hinata hasn't realized it but Naruto has been lowering his voice and talking more quietly. It created a more intimate feeling between them and HInata's heartbeat started to rise.

She was still completely red and her heart started to jump up to her throat. "I-I-! But-! You don't even know me! You don't know what kind of person I am!" Hinata started to be confused with her feelings now. She wasn't sure if she was still frustrated or if she was actually becoming infatuated wit the stranger. All she knows is that not once did his eyes leave hers.

"You're a good person!" He chuckled. "I can feel it in my gut." He patted his belly with his other hand.

Hinata then decided to label her feelings as frustrations. It was crazy for her to ever think that this drunk man was serious. She felt like a fool for believing him for a second. It was still a mystery to how he was able to guess her name right but she no longer cared. She turned her head and started to pull hard away from him.

"I'm leaving."

But before she could walk away, Naruto, with his strength, pulled her back to him and had her body in his arms. Their bellies were touching and Naruto had his hands grasped on her waist. Hinata has never been this close to a man before and her heart ket thumping like crazy. She looked up at him with wide eyes and she could feel the heat run across her face.

She could have screamed like she did with her harrassers. She could have kicked him in the shin, or slap him, maybe give him a good knee kick to the gut, but it felt different with him. It didn't feel as if he wanted to hurt her. It was as if he desperately wanted to hold on to her. And she could tell that he was desperate with the look that he had on his face. His eyes were almost watery and he no longer held a smirk. His eyes looked so alone and lost, it was a feeling that she could relate to.

"Please... don't leave me alone." He said, just before he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. Hinata's heart rate was out of control at this point and it was hard for her to think straight. But out of all the reason she could have told herself, her mind went straight to what Ino had told her in the bar while she was drunk. You've got to live in the moment, Hinata!

Slowly, Hinata wrapped her arms around Naruto as well. Hinata surprised herself, she would never had let a man she barely knew hold her like this. The most affection she's gotten from a male was from her cousin who patted her shoulder for helping out with a project at work. She was always careful and always kept to herself so she never had the opportunity to go on dates.

But she didn't care anymore. She melted in Naruto's arms. The heat he emited from his body surrounded her and she felt so warm and safe. She soaked in this moment, it felt absolutely pleasant.

Her heart jumped when she felt Naruto kiss her neck. At first it was just a light peck but the kisses gradually become bigger and right away Hinata could feel his tongue on her skin. There was a sensation between her thighs that she's never felt before and her legs started to become weak.

"N-Naruto-kun, wait..." She said in her usual soft voice. She was soflty panting and gently pushed him away so that she could look at him. His eyes were no longer lonely but were filled with lust, and she wondered if hers were too.

"Is... Is there a place we can go..?"

Naruto immediately perked up and held her tighter. "My place isn't far from here."

kukuku we know what happens after this xD

Thanks so much for all the follows and likes on this! I really appreciate it! And also I'd like to point out that this is a modern AU so don't be confused when Naruto ever mentions shippuden stuff. It happens when he's drunk hahaha which I'll explain later in the chapters. Plus it's my way of showing some appreciation to Kishimoto and his original work.
