Steadily, bit-by-bit, she worked on her newest scarf - despite her focus, she felt very warm.

Hinata knew why that was; ever since the mission with Toneri, a few months ago, Naruto had finally said that he loved her back. Words could not express the warmth, the joy, that she felt that day... especially after everything was over. She couldn't have stopped the tears if she tried; he wanted to be with her, she by his side, to never let each other go, forever! Ever since then, it's like she couldn't stop smiling, or crying, or even blushing to a lesser degree- Naruto had worried something was wrong when she cried, but relieved when she showed they were happy tears. Oh Naruto- he'd grown close to her, and she to him; the idea of putting her hands on his chest would have caused her to faint in the past, but now it was a little thing she did as his wife now.

Hinata Uzumaki

And their open-mouthed kisses, when their passions went a little stronger-

She squeaked slightly, working to not get distracted; she didn't want to miss even one thread, or it could come undone. Even when she'd been deep in thought before, about what happened to Hanabi's eyes with Toneri's influence, she-

Tap tap

Surprised, she looked over- Naruto stood outside, a little sheepish as he waved, breath visible in the snowy air.

Quickly, she put her work down, going to open the sliding door - Naruto came in quickly, letting out a breath as he rubbed his arms. "Wow, that air's cold" he said, shivering a little.

Without even noticing, Hinata worked to help him warm up with little touches. "Why aren't you wearing a coat, Naruto?" Hinata asked, worried. "It's really cold out there-"

"I know, I know" he breathed, rubbing his head. "But when I left the office, I was in kinda a rush... luckily, I made a Shadow Clone to go back and get my coat" he continued, a little embarrassed. "That one of me should be arriving fairly soon, ya know."

"Well please, sit down" she gestured, with a smile - Naruto just nodded, moving before he caught something in his sight- she looked too (his Shadow Clone). Quickly, she opened the sliding door again, and his clone skidded to a halt inside, shivering as well.

"Gah, that's cold!" his clone said, shivering like the devil, before tossing his coat to the original. "A-Anyway, t-there you go boss."

Poof

The real Naruto just sheepishly rubbed his head again, having reactions to his clone's experience, but he sat down, making sure his coat's properly taken care of. Smiling, Hinata moved toward the arm of the chair, sitting upon it- Naruto was a little surprised, but gave off one of his usual grins for a moment.

"It's kinda strange" he whispered.

"Hmm?"

"Part of me keeps expecting to see my old place, covered in everything" Naruto continued, looking up at the roof, gaze elsewhere. "After all, I'd been there for so long..."

Hinata smiled, gently touching his shoulders, bringing him back - she rubbed at his upper arms, including his prosthetic. "I know it'll take time, but I'll be here" she assured, to which he smiled back. "Still, I have the same feeling, for I lived in the same house for a long time... but though it was home, I never felt comfortable with all that luxury."

"Really?" he asked, leaning up a bit.

"Yes" Hinata whispered. "It just seemed too big, too much. I know my clan is an important one, but that style didn't suit me" she continued, before gesturing around. "It's places like this, even the smaller ones, that really make me feel cozy- because they feel like normal homes."

Naruto slowly leaned toward her, and while surprised, she willingly leaned toward him as well- his kiss still had a way of sending thrills through her system. As they kissed, her hands moved over his neck and cheeks, while his wrapped around her back... he seemed to urge her closer, and she did her best, before squeaking when he literally pulled her onto his lap...

She blushed a little, even if nothing else happened.

"Well, you're right" Naruto whispered, really close. "This is our new home. But as long as I can share it with you, I'll be glad."

"N-Naruto..." Hinata breathed, just so happy to hear that. "I love you."

A little grin for a moment, but his expression was soft. "Me too. I love you, Hinata" he whispered, "I'll never let you go."

Feeling small happy tears, she kissed him just as he finished- her affection surprised him, but he returned the favor. Sitting on his lap, kissing him this intensely, it should've made her shy at the least, but she didn't care anymore... she loved him with all her heart, a sensation enforced by the rings on their fingers.

"Thank you, Naruto" she whispered to him, hands on his chest. "I'll never let go either.

Even without looking, she knew he's smiling, glad to just hold her- but they definitely noticed when he shivered again. "Oh" Hinata breathed, quickly standing up. "Maybe I should draw you a hot bath; I don't want you to get sick."

"You don't have to-" he tried.

"Please?"

At that, he was a little surprised, but agreed - soon he got up and following behind her, though her cheeks were pink.

...

"Warm enough?"

Naruto tapped the water several times, smiling. "Yeah, it's great" he whispered. "Thanks."

Hinata returned the smile. "Anytime" she assured him. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask..." she started to say, then trailed off because she realized the implications of such, e-even if she'd only be seeing parts of his chest and back.

Judging by the small bits of red on Naruto's cheeks, these weren't lost on him either. "I'm sure I'll be fine, ya know" he said easily, trying to play it off. "I mean it's not like I'm asking you to join me or anything- gah!"

"Eep!"

It was hard to tell who was redder in the face, Naruto or her.

"I didn't mean that!" Naruto back-pedaled, too embarrassed to face her. "I-I'm sorry..."

She managed to avoid a gulp, but could feel her heated cheeks, heart beating faster... luckily she's nowhere near fainting, but the question remained...

"Hinata, really, I'm sorry" he breathed quickly, more faint, as if worried she's mad at him. "I just-"

"I-"

"Huh?"

She felt herself struggling, but she had to, no matter how embarrassing. "Naruto, do you- do you really... really want me to?" Hinata whispered - his shocked reaction made it a little harder, but even so, she stayed where she was, even if heavily embarrassed.

One blink later, Naruto unfroze. "Wha- what?" he breathed, cheeks red again. "But I- Hinata, that's- why would- gah, I can't even put two words together!"

Even embarrassed, she stepped closer and took his hand, the sensation of which brought a little smile. He quickly noticed even as she raised it higher, fingers slowly lingering over the ring, the one she'd given him on their wedding day.

"You just did" she noted softly.

Cheeks red, Naruto slowly rubbed at his head. "I- well uh- that's-" he breathed, before swallowing. "Hinata... why?"

Hinata kissed his ring slowly. "Naruto, you're my husband now" she whispered, the words giving her a little thrill. "And I'm your wife. Sooner or later, we... we'll s-see each other like that, and it's- it's not wrong."

As she talked, Naruto's gaze softened a bit, and by the time she finished he'd kissed her gently- she welcomed it. It lasted awhile, long enough that she settled against his chest, but they were warm to each other, content in their closeness.

"Hinata... you'd really be okay?"

Slowly, she nodded. "Yes" Hinata whispered. "Though I want to make sure... things go slow. We get in w-without seeing, and after that..."

Naruto stirred, leaning close to her, their foreheads touching. "And after that, is up to us" he filled-in for her, she nodding again. "Alright... then yes."

Her heart beat faster, nervous, but also content.

"Naruto?"

"I'm not looking" he assured, turned around with eyes closed. "Really."

Several seconds passed, then Naruto heard her foot dipping into the water, followed by her entire body. More than that, the water rose considerably, going from above mid-chest level to just under his collarbone, little waves moving around the edges- only when she touched his shoulders did he open his eyes. Slowly turning, he saw Hinata smiling shyly at him, but that made him happier, and warmth that had nothing to do with the bath. After a moment, she slid even closer, and he quickly tried not to look at her chest- though it was obscured by her other hand/arm, in addition to the water.

Hinata seemed to see this, as the redness got darker, but said nothing as she settled against his side. "Naruto" she whispered, resting her head against his, hair bound up somewhat. "My heart... it's beating so fast, and yet I'm not afraid..."

"Really?" he asked, surprised, yet couldn't deny he felt the same. "Then-then you're not nervous?"

"I am" she breathed, looking at him with those lavender eyes. "But I find it... e-exhilarating."

Naruto felt his own cheeks grow hot, feeling exactly the same way, but how could he say that to her? On an instinct, he kissed her instead, trying to say it there instead- Hinata didn't mind at all, fingers touching his cheeks. Normally, they would've eased into a hug and/or a deeper kiss after a few seconds, just full of love for each other. They still had that love, but it's affected by shyness of knowing the other is- is naked, and though it isn't wrong, they'd never physically done anything like this before. Hinata's fingers moved down during their kiss, over his collarbone, then down his chest... eventually, it hovered over his beating heart...

"You're nervous too" she whispered gently, looking at him, breath a little heavier. "But not the same as I feel, Naruto."

He glanced to the side, gulping a little, more embarrassed than anything. "Well... yeah, I mean I'm not exactly 'pure', in that this- this is my first experience seeing... naked women" he mumbled, rubbing at his wet hair. "But I'm- I haven't had any actual experience... with anyone."

Hinata's fingers slowly circled his chest as he spoke, just listening, but he never heard a sound- after a little, she kissed his neck out of simple affection, but it got his attention. "I've known that for a long time" she breathed, still smiling, entirely assuring (he blinked). "After all, your- word of your Sexy Jutsu got around, as did all of your antics when we were kids."

He felt a bit confused, and warmer. "And you... you didn't think it was weird?" Naruto whispered, slowly threading his fingers through her hair-

-which made her smile all the softer, and a bit more shy. "It was weird" Hinata whispered contently, eyes closed. "Maybe embarrassing. But it didn't change the fact that you never gave up, Naruto, no matter what people said or how many times you failed. You were my hero for that."

"Hinata..."

"You still are" she continued, pulling him closer. "And I'm ecstatic that after all this time, we're each other's. So please, as long as we're willing, don't think you have to go slow with me."

Naruto couldn't speak, his emotions in a (positive) jumble - she's nervous, as is he, but she's willing to grow closer to him. Breathing a little heavier, he held her back, then slowly pulled her own body close to his, pressing together-

-they both made sounds.

He felt Hinata's head move on his shoulder, breathing heavier, no doubt heavily embarrassed yet trying to get through it. He tried not to gulp, and didn't succeed, because honestly his body's getting a little fired up, Hinata's chest being pressed against his... he'd noticed at times how big she was, even when she tried to hide it, but not until now had he started wondering...

Oh wow.

Naruto was brought back when Hinata started giving his neck little kisses, each the definition of softness. "Hinata" he breathed, his hands moving over her back, but being careful about how fast/where he went, before returning the favor on her neck. Hinata moved as he did so, yelping a little when that included his tongue (in small measures), but didn't seem to mind after that. She was content to take awhile with the kisses, even as her back arced a little to his hands, while he tried to keep main focus on his kisses, but the sensation of her chest kept distracting him. "Oh... ohh..."

Hinata briefly broke her neck kisses to take his lips, which really made him feel warm, opening his mouth right away. After a little, Hinata returned the favor, before she hesitantly touched her tongue to his-

-ohhhh yes.

...

From the moment she'd started, Hinata knew in her heart that Naruto would be a bit conflicted: on one hand, he is a little perverted at heart, which was undeniable - and she knew that training under Jiriaya, rest his soul, had only shown him how not to do things. But at the same time, it's not enough to make him go crazy... he's one of the nicest people she's ever met in her life, and he cared for her more than anything else, so he wouldn't want to cross lines.

It'd be entirely up to her, regarding h-how far they go tonight... even though she's willing to accept that, it wasn't easy, as her fast-beating heart and heated cheeks/body made it hard...

Naruto intensified their kiss, his tongue pressing against hers with small want, making her squeak at the passion- it's so intense, so wonderful to her inexperienced self! She knew he felt the same though, and she can't let this stop her, for she does a-also have her chest pressed against his... she was certain he could feel her fast-beating heart, as she could his. Despite this, Hinata moved her hands around his back, his sides, what parts of his front she could reach- then she did a few bare brushes above his tailbone, before she could lose her nerve. Naruto reacted to that, briefly stalling in their kiss, but didn't let up after that, and there were no hints that he didn't like/dislike it, or that she should stop.

She briefly caught her breath, then when Naruto's lips found hers again, she repeated the brushes during their kiss.

Over the course of things, almost unconsciously, Naruto's movements pulled her closer and closer - her chest was already pressed against him, but her knees/legs weren't, and thus they got even closer. When her knees bumped his legs, they broke apart, both of them a little red-face from passion and the hot water.

"Can I?" she breathed, almost without thinking.

"Y-Yeah, of course."

Hinata kissed him in thanks, using her hands to close his legs, then she very carefully moved herself up- he had to adjust when she sat upon them, for even with the water she was a bit heavy. Her embarrassed feelings were higher, knowing full well this meant she and Naruto were both... close to each other's groins.

But it wouldn't stop her; it's okay, as long as they're both willing at each step.

When Naruto broke their kiss again for air, she took that opportunity to catch her breath too... but after several seconds, Naruto hitched, making her open her eyes slowly. "Naruto?" Hinata whispered, a little breathy - she quickly saw that his gaze was down, eyes a little wide, red cheeks fairly dark now, breathing heavier-

-because the water level's now below her chest, via sitting on his legs.

This realization, combined with the hot water, made her squeak really loud- it was amazing she didn't feel any urge to faint, much as she'd later be glad it didn't happen. Her heart was already beating fast, but now it's about ready to explode, realizing he's seeing her like... like this, even though she'd agreed... she had agreed...

And he's already seen; it's too late to go back.

Barely, just barely, Hinata stopped her arms from instinctively covering herself... it was hard, but the motion seemed to jar Naruto out of it, for his gaze quickly snapped up, breathing hard and dazed in expression. "I-" she tried to say, but it nearly came out a squeak; she swallowed and tried again. "N-Naruto, I- I said before that this... isn't wrong, r-remember?"

"I-I remember" he mumbled, still redder, but nearly gulping himself. "H-Hinata... you've grown so much."

She was still embarrassed, but his sincerity made the soft warmth return a little, making things easier- she took his hand in both of hers. "Thank you, Naruto" she whispered, moving her fingers in his. "Do you... do you want to go a little further, w-with my chest?"

Much to her surprise, he didn't react much, nor did he glance downward at all- slowly, gently, he pulled his hand out of her grasp, shaking his head a little with a smile. "It's not that I'm unwilling, Hinata" he breathed, his hands slowly going into her hair, a feeling she liked. "It's just that... w-well, if I did, I think I might want to go all the way... a-and I don't think the bathroom floor would be the best place for that, the first time, I mean..."

Her embarrassment nearly grew again, but even still, she was touched by his concern for her- as well as agreeing, since her fast-beating heart had nearly forgotten about that. "I don't think I'd have been unwilling either, but yes, t-that's a little much" she whispered, smiling as his hair-digging got a little deeper. "Is that why you haven't looked again? So you won't get tempted?"

Naruto slowly nodded, returning the smile. "Yeah."

Hinata kissed him then, showing her love, which he easily accepted. "You can still look" she assured, embarrassed, but trying to distract herself by tracing his whisker markings. "Really."

He briefly looked away, embarrassed too before making a sound. "Well, maybe for a few seconds, when you get out" he mumbled, and when she was confused, he held up his hands- they were quite pruned from the water. "Though, I'll understand if you don't want that, Hinata."

Quickly trying to decide, she soon found that the thought of Naruto staring at her body (if for a few seconds), it still seemed a little much- but she can ultimately handle it. "A few seconds" Hinata confirmed, slowly reaching behind her, grabbing one of the towels. "Just- just keep your gaze above my waist."

"Eh- y-yeah, I will."

Carefully, she got off his legs, moving backward at the same time - both their cheeks were still red, but Naruto only looked at her eyes. Quickly, ready with the towel, Hinata stood up before she could lose her nerve... she couldn't look at Naruto at first, but then out of the corner of her eye, he was using those few seconds to look at her chest. Her face heated up, heart beating even faster, but she made sure to keep count- before she could say time's up though, Naruto turned around very quickly. Relieved, she re-focused on getting out, wrapping the towel around her body... not long after that, she got her clothes from the counter, glanced at Naruto before she exited the bathroom.

Outside, she leaned against the wall, breathing even heavier... oh god, that'd been so intense...

"Breathe" she whispered to herself, determined to learn, to experience this alongside Naruto. "Just breathe... just breathe..."

Nighttime

Man... he knew Hinata had grown a lot more confident, but he didn't know she'd be this 'okay'.

Despite the surprise though, Naruto couldn't help but smile. "I admit, I like it best when she's shy, but this new confidence is good to see too" he thought. "I think it'd take a lot to make her faint now, and it'd have to be sudden too; she just handled us in the bath fairly good. Or... well she was heavily embarrassed, j-just like me, but... she still did good."

"Far better than when she fainted just being near you."

Naruto made a sound. "Don't tell me you were watching us, Kuruma!"

"Hmph, don't be insulting, Naruto; I had no interest in your activities, and I was taking a nap anyway."

He slowly sighed. "Well, that's better, but I still have a sneaking suspicion you can see + hear everything I do" he said, but hiding a smirk.

"As if!"

He briefly cracked; yeah, Kuruma did, at least partly. Best not to dwell on it, but still - Naruto downed his water, even as Kurama's disgruntled answer was to go back to sleep. Speaking of which, he moved from the kitchen, finding Hinata just where she'd been for the last few hours; on the couch, gently knitting together new sections for the damaged scarf. "Hinata?"

She was quite engrossed in her task, enough that she didn't hear until the second time. "Oh?" she breathed, looking at him. "Naruto?"

"It's getting a little late" Naruto breathed gently, sitting down beside her. "Soon it'll- it'll be time for bed, ya know."

Her cheeks briefly turned pink; it still hadn't been long, and they weren't used to everything just yet. Hinata looked at the scarf for a bit, "I'm almost finished on this section" she whispered, very soft. "It'd only take about five more minutes."

A little sheepish, he nodded. "Well, I guess that's okay" he admitted, smiling.

"Thanks."

During those five minutes, they spent it in comfortable silence, the only sounds being that of her knitting. A little nervous, Naruto slowly reached toward her, or rather her hair- as soon as his fingertips touched it, she hitched a bit from surprise. Just as he was instinctively tried to movie, Hinata's hand gently keep it there, giving him a little nod with pink cheeks. He answered that with a little sheepish grin, but felt warmer as he gently threaded through a few sections- she always felt so soft that way, and he wouldn't mind doing this for hours. Hinata's cheeks remained pink, but she was clearly happy - her smile alone told him that, but considering what happened earlier, he's just glad she isn't jumpy.

She probably wouldn't be any hurry to repeat taking a bath together, for awhile, but he's still glad she's okay.

"There" Hinata whispered after awhile, putting her knitting needles away, as well as the completed section. "That should be enough."

Naruto hummed a little, before extending his hand- Hinata took it without hesitation, letting him lead her onward, though her cheeks remained pink.

Getting ready for bed went normally, so he's not gonna mention it.

In bed itself, Hinata snuggled closer to him, which he didn't mind at all- he gently kissed her forehead. In return, she did the same on his neck, though he did gasp a little when she nibbled... but her resting in the crook of his neck afterward made him smile. "Hinata."

"Naruto" she whispered back, content. "I was thinking, the entire time I knitted."

"What about?"

She moved her head even to look at him- he always liked seeing her eyes. "About... the entire mission on the moon" she breathed, really close. "I remember everything we did together, but now I see them a little differently. You were realizing you loved me the entire time, right?"

Naruto could only nod, a bit sheepish- she kissed him in response.

"I'm just sorry it took a genjutsu for me to realize it, Hinata" he whispered back. "And more than that, for yours to intertwine with mine, and a comment from Sakura in addition."

"Don't apologize, Naruto."

"Heh, sorry."

Hinata kissed him again, running her fingers along his hair, his whisker markings, and a few other places... which felt really good, in the small ways. He tried to return the favor, both in kiss + little things, yet always holding her close no matter what.

"And there's something else" she whispered (he went 'Hmm?'). "Something a bit more serious. Remember... when he took Hanabi's eyes, yet they looked different?"

Naruto slowly remembered, trying to ignore his at-the-time reactions... wait, yes, Toneri's eyes hadn't looked like Byakugan. They'd been something else entirely, before + during that new chakra mode - he'd also noticed this new version faded away, after he'd landed the final punch, leaving them as Byakugan again when Hinata forcibly took them back.

"Yeah, I remember" he whispered, looking at Hinata. "What was that about anyway?"

She gave him a little smile. "He called it the Tenseigan - separate from what we destroyed, yet same name - and apparently, it was the result of Hanabi's Byakugan mixing with his clan's chakra. They took awhile to fully mature, and he suffered painful pulses in his eyes, but that's how it came to be- and maybe why it faded so suddenly, because it hadn't been too long since he'd gotten them."

"Tenseigan" Naruto breathed to himself, making a sound; kinda like Sasuke's Sharingan turning into a Rinnegan. "I have to say, that's interesting, and I'm sure the village researchers would love to hear about it, ya know."

Hinata slowly closed her eyes, breathing steady. "There's more: for Toneri, his clan's chakra is the norm" she whispered. "But I have Hamura's chakra now, in addition to my own."

His brow furrowed, wondering what- wait- he made a sound, blinking. "...you, Hinata? You could develop the Tenseigan?"

"Possibly. If I wish to."

Oh wow, can't say he expected this. "Well, that's..." Naruto breathed, a bit shocked, before he kissed Hinata. "Hinata, that's really something. Have you decided yet?"

She shook her head, blushing-yet-happy from his kiss. "No, I just had the thought today" she whispered. "What do you think, Naruto?"

Good question- carefully, he tried to imagine Hinata with the Tenseigan, at least eye-wise. Wow... her having pupils would be quite a change, whether it's permanent or temporary... but no matter what changes she goes through, long as she's the woman he loved, he's certain he could easily adjust. And that's what he told Hinata, which made her blush deepen, but snuggle against him again- smiling, he returned the favor.

"Thank you, Naruto" she breathed. "I'll try and decide soon. But for now, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

A little M-rated 'fun' between them, and my introduction to the Naruto fan-fiction base, hehe.

As for the Tenseigan bit at the end, if I'm understanding it correctly, Hinata has the capability to develop it. After all, it's requirement is the combination of Otsutsuki chakra combined with the Byakugan, and can only be activated within the Otsutsuki + Hyuga clans, all of which she has/is in some fashion. I will admit, it'd be interesting to develop those abilities for her, even have some practice fights to do so in-universe.

What do you all think? In general, for specifics, other; go right ahead.
