Monday morning was surprisingly a good start for Hinata. She didn't have to run to the shower before her brother to get ready, her little sister wasn't trying to rush her, and she knew exactly what she wanted to wear.

Once she had her breakfast, she grabbed her things and headed out the door. She walked along the sidewalk taking in the morning sun. She watched as cars passed her by on their way to work. Kids standing at bus stops waiting for the public transport to carry them to school.

Hinata turned a corner and kept walking, humming a tune in her head as she walked. Once she made it to Ezra's house, she knocked on the door. She was greeted by Ezra's mother. She smiled at Hinata.

"Good morning mom." Hinata smiles leaning in to hug Mrs. Takoiya. She hugged Hinata back and kisses the girl on her cheek.

"Good morning darling how are you?" She coos as she allows Hinata inside.

"I'm fine." She says. She looks up the stairs just in time to see Ezra's father rushing down them trying to adjust his tie at the same time. "Hi dad good morning."

"Well if it isnt my other baby girl!" Mr. Takoiya smiled before he got to the bottom of fhe stairs and hugged her. He kissed her forehead. "You two have a good day at school today alright?"

Hinata smiles and nods. "Yes sir." She says. She then walked up the steps to Ezra's room while the adults engaged in their morning conversation. She seen Ezra's door was open just a crack and heard her giggle on the other side.

"Good morning." She can hear the girl say. She spoke in a cute tone that Hinata was even surprised to hear. Pushing the door open she seen her ebony toned friend holding an article of clothing up to her body in her full body mirror and her phone tucked between her face and shoulder. The smile on her face was bigger than anything Hinata ever seen.

Ezra looked her way and waved slightly before throwing the shirt on her bed and grabbing the phone to walk to her closet.

"I was up before you so I'm almost ready. Unlike you." Ezra says cutely. Hinata cocked an eyebrow. Was this happening? "Breath all stank and everything."

Ezra threw her head back and laughed before covering her mouth.

"Who are you all giggly on the phone with?" Hinata asked crossing her arms. Ezra moved the phone away and pressed the speaker button.

"My breath actually smells good by the way." Kiba says. "You'd have to wake up next to me to know."

"No thanks you probably drool."

"Just a little."

Ezra giggled.

"Good morning Kiba." Hinata says.

Kiba clears his throat. "Good morning Hinata." He says. "Make sure your friend brushes her teeth I can smell the tartness through the phone."

Hinata covered her mouth to hide her laughter and Ezra giggled.

"Kiba I'ma sock you!" She says. Ezra handed the phone to Hinata. "Talk to him while I get dressed please."

"Well Kiba it's just you and me." Hinata says as she sits on Ezra's bed.

"I'd rather talk to you anyway Hinata." Kiba says. "You're nicer."

"I appreciate the compliment." Hinata says.

Ezra quickly slipped into her leotard and her distressed jeans. Her hair was still straight from Saturday, so she opted for a nice high ponytail. She then slid into her white sneakers and grabbed her long cardigan from her closet and slipped into it. After grabbing her keys and bag, she motioned for Hinata and took the phone from her.

"Kiba I'm hanging up I'll see you at school." Ezra says.

"Well I was talking to Hinata." Kiba says. "I was telling her that I was gonna pick you guys up and we can all ride to school together. I'll tell Naruto too."

"Are you even dressed?"

"Unlike you who have to give the phone to other people, I can multi-task." He says. "I'm walking to my car as we speak."

"Well hurry up and get here then!" Ezra says as she and Hinata walk down the stairs.

"Patience young grasshopper." Ezra could sense the smile on Kiba's face.

"Call me when you're outside." Ezra says before ending the call.

"Boyfriend in Traning huh?" Hinata smirked and crossed her arms. That's cute."

"Shut up."

——

Naruto's phone ranged loudly as he brushed his teeth. He grabbed it and looked at the caller ID seeing Kiba's name. He answered.

"Yo What's up dude?" He asked.

"Have you left with Karin yet?" He asked.

"No I haven't." Naruto replied after rinsing his mouth out. "Why?"

"I'm coming to get you and the girls."

"Awesome." Naruto smiled. "I didn't wanna ride with Karin today anyway."

"Still upset?"

"Yeaah."

"Understandable." Kiba nods. "I'll be there in five."

"Okay."

Naruto ended the call and finished up in the bathroom before walking to his room and getting dressed. There was a knock on his door.

"Naruto you ready?" Karin asked carefully as she poked her head in the door. Naruto looked over his shoulder.

"I'm catching a ride with Kiba today." He says. "You don't have to wait on me."

Karin's eyes traveled down. "Oh..okay. I see." She lingered for a little longer as if she wanted to say something but just didn't know how to. Then she left and shut his door. Naruto grabbed his things and his phone binged with a notification.

Kiba:
I'm Outside

Naruto:
I'm coming out.

Naruto slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked out of his room. He walked down the steps and made his way to the front door.

"I'm leaving!" He called.

"Have a good day Naruto please!" His mother walked out of the kitchen and to him hugging him tightly. She grabbed his face and kissed his nose as she always did. "No fighting today alright?"

Naruto nodded. "I'll try my best mom."

She smiled. "Thank you." She says. "Have a good day."

She released him and opened the door for him. He walked out and she watched as Naruto walked to Kiba's car and got in.

"Hey dude." Kiba says bumping fists with him.

"So what happend?" Naruto smirked. "Everything is good now?"

Kiba couldn't stop the smile from forming on his face.

"Yeah, we talked and we're friends. She and I have been texting all weekend."

"Good." Naruto smiled genuinely. "I'm glad to hear that."

"Yeah." Kiba's voice fades away as he puts the car in gear and pull off from the curb. He drives down the residential streets before making a left turn and he continued on. Once reaching Ezra's home, he called her.

"Hey, I'm outside." He says.

"Okay, we're coming." She replies.

After saying bye, Kiba hung up. They watched as the girls walked out of Ezra's home and to the car. They opened the back door and climbed inside.

"Good morning!" Ezra smiles as she places her seatbelt on.

"Well good morning." Naruto smirks slyly as he turned his body around to look at the two girls. "You're in a good mood this morning."

A blush fell on Ezra as Hinata held her laugh together. Naruto chuckled then his attention turned into Hinata.

"Good morning Hinata." He says softly.

"Good morning Naruto." She replies just as sweetly.

Kiba again pulled off from the curb and headed towards their school. When they arrived Kiba parked and they all filed out of his car. Together, they walked into the main entrance of the school. From there, they separated telling eachother they'd see them either at lunch or in classes. Hinata and Ezra walked their way to their lockers.

"Well, I see you and Kiba are on speaking terms now." Hinata sniggered. "Oh I'm sorry Boyfriend in Training."

"Shut up." Ezra says. "It's a joke okay?"

"Joke?" Hinata cocked an amused eyebrow. "You put his number in your phone didn't you?"

"Actually no he put his own number in my phone." Ezra says. She unlocks her phone and hands it over to Hinata. "You can read the messages."

"Don't mind if I do actually." Hinata scrolled up in the conversation.

Sunday 9:00am

Hinata handed the phone back to Ezra who was digging in her locker.

"So he asked you to winter formal." She says. "How cute. Did he ever call you?"

"Yeah, he called and we talked all day." Ezra replies stuffing her books in her backpack before closing the locker. The two of them then headed to Hinata's locker.

"Im glad." Hinata smiled. "I know you've liked him for a long time and it's nice to know he's felt the same. Has he told you exactly how long he's liked you?"

"Actually no." Ezra says. "We talked about literally everything but that."

"So how much about Kiba do you know?" Hinata asked.

"His favorite color is Grey." Ezra begans going down her list. "His birthday is July 7th. He's the baby child and has one older sister; Hana. He also has a temper like Naruto but it takes alot to bring that out of him. His favorite movie is Scarface and all the Rocky Balboa movies. He's a dog lover of course. His mom and dad were married, divorced once, then remarried eachother and had Kiba and just been together ever since."

"Wow." Hinata says nodding as she opened her locker.

"And I'm the first black girl he's ever took interest in."

Hinata coughed up spit.

"Why is that important?" Hinata frowned. "Things like that shouldnt matter in this day and age."

"Yeah but you know." Ezra shrugged. "Some parents would want their child to have pure bread children ya know?"

"Ezra you're not even a pure bread yourself." Hinata blinks as she placed her books in her backpack.

"According to law, you are whatever ethnic background your father is." Ezra says with a shrug. "My dad's black so therefore—"

"Ezra, you're mixed." Hinata says blandly.

"And you're japanese so what?" Ezra shrugs. "Naruto's mixed too. There's no way you'd be an american with a name like Naruto."

Hinata giggles. "I see your point." She says. Hinata then closes her locker. The two girls roam around the school, bumping into Kauri and Choji.

"Hey." Kauri greets them. Ezra of course didn't say anything but Hinata did.

"Ezra, a word with you please?" Karui says looking the girl squarely in the eye.

"You already said one too many words, Kauri."

Karui rolled her eyes. "Okay, look; I understand you're still mad, but get over it now. Im apologizing—"

"Oh that's what this is?"

"Ezra." Hinata's voice was stern. Ezra sighed.

"Fine, it's good. We're good. I don't like confrontation. Let's not talk about Kiba and I being friends now."

"Wait what?" Kauri smiled. "Really?!"

"He's her boyfriend in training." Hinata adds.

"Seriously?!" Kauri squeaked.

"I seriously just said let's not talk about that." Ezra throws her hands in the air.

"I'm happy for you." Kauri smiles. "Maybe from now on we can see that little soft spot of yours. I'll see you guys at lunch."

As Kauri walked away holding Choji's hand, the bell rung. The two girls said their goodbyes to one another then headed on their way to class. Hinata walked into her math class, finding Kiba and Naruto sitting near her seat talking. She walked to her seat and sat.

"I don't know if I want to do that." Kiba says nervously.

"You're a pussy." Naruto frowns.

"Looks whos talking, puss—oh hey Hinata." Kiba smiles once she sits.

"Hey." Hinata raised a curious eyebrow. "Uh, what's going on?" 

"I uh, sorta hinted around to Ezra about winter formal and I don't know if I really wanna ask her or not." Kiba says. "Naruto's calling me a pussy for it."

"I think you should." Hinata smiles. "Ezra really isnt a dress and heels type of girl but if I push her hard enough she'll do it."

"Are you a dress and heels type of girl Hinata?" Naruto found himself asking. Kiba smirked watching as Hinata blushed.

"Well kind of." Hinata tucks her hair behind her ear. "My father is always going to alot of fancy events where I have to wear dresses and heels and makeup and such so it doesnt bother me."

"Ah." Naruto nodded. "Are you going to Winter formal?"

"I was thinking about it." Hinata nods.

"Oh cool." Naruto says as his voice fades away. Kiba snickered and turned around in his seat. Naruto frowned at him.

Their math class seemed to have dragged on forever before they were finally dismissed to go to their next class.

"What do you have right now?" Hinata asked the both of them as they walked along side her.

"I have chemistry." Kiba says. "With Ezra."

"Yeah we know that Kiba." Naruto says gaining a laugh from Hinata. "She said what class subject you have."

Kiba heaved a sigh. "And the jokes begin."

"Sorry." Hinata giggles. "But it's only fair after a while of only teasing Ezra nonstop."

"What do you have Hinata?" Kiba says.

"I have Criminal Justice." Hinata answers.

"Well, this is where I part." Naruto says. "I have history."

"Good luck dude." Kiba says giving him a fist bump.

"Thanks." He chuckles. "See you guys at lunch."

The two waved goodbye before heading down the hallway as Naruto turned into the classroom.

"So uh, Hina." Kiba says. "Mind if I call you that?"

"Sure." Hinata replies.

"Great." Kiba nods. "I wanted to thank you."

"For?"

"Well, Naruto and I talked and he told me that he thinks you talked to Ezra on Saturday and convinced her to give me a chance." He says stuffing his hands into his pockets. "I was really beating myself up about what I told her on Thursday, when I actually just wanted her to hear me out."

"How long have you liked her Kiba?" Hinata found herself asking. She was genuinely curious.

Kiba chuckles as a red tint formed on his cheeks. He brushed his hand through his hair and Hinata smiled finding his embarrassment cute.

"Freshman year." He answers.

"Have you told her that?" She asks smiling. "That's really cute."

Kiba again chuckles, his face turning a slight shade of pink. "N-No I haven't."

"Why not?" Hinata asks. "You know how long she's liked you don't you."

"Well no, I dont. But if I tell her I'd sound like a creep stalker dude or something."

"Im sure she wouldn't look at it that way."

"You really are her best friend arent you?" Kiba smiles down at Hinata as they reached her class. She smiled too.

"Of course." She answers. "You're suppose to know your friends that way. You can't just call anyone your friend without really knowing them right?"

"I guess you're right." Kiba nods.

"Before I walk in class, I have a question."

Kiba nods.

"You and Ezra are friends now correct?"

"Yeah." His eyebrow went up with confusion.

"So, as a friend you somewhat know her likes and dislikes, correct?"

"Okay where are you going with this?"

"What's her favorite color?" Hinata shifted her weight on her leg from one side to the other.

"Brown, why?" Kiba asked. Hinata laughed.

"Oh she's such a cheeseball." Hinata turns to head in class but Kiba grabbed her hand stopping her.

"What?" He asked. "Did I get it wrong?"

"I can't disclose that information." Hinata smirks. "You do have really nice eyes by the way Kiba." Then Hinata walked in class leaving him there confused.

——-

"What's your favorite color?" Kiba asked sitting next to Ezra as she took out her chemistry book and notebook out her backpack. She looked at him oddly, his gaze was serious.

"Brown." She says in a duh sort of tone. "I told you that."

"Somehow I don't believe you." Kiba grabbed his things out his bag as well and set them on the table he shared with her. He looked at her again, this time more sternly. "What is your favorite color?"

"Brown." She says furrowing her eyebrows. Then a thought clicked in her head and she immediately reached for her phone. "Hold on."

Ezra👭:
Hinata Hyuga
What did you tell Kiba?

To Bananas in Pajamas👩‍👩‍👧‍👧:
Besides the fact that you're a HUGE cheeseball, nothing 🙂

Ezra👭:
Then why'd he flop down next to me and ask me my favorite color?

Tenten🐼:
👀 yeah Hinata !

Kauri☁;
This makes me happy that this isnt a private conversation.

Sakura🌸:
Fuck yeah!

Kauri☁:

To Bananas in Pajamas👩‍👩‍👧‍👧:

Ezra👭:

Tenten🐼:

Kauri☁:
Slightly impressive 👏🏾
Highly cheesy. 😂

Sakura🌸:
Oooooou

Ezra👭:

Every single one of yous.
Just dicks!
Specially you Hina.

To Bananas in Pajamas 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧:
I learn from the best 😊
Honestly though?
Brown?
Im surprised he didn't catch on.
Specially when I laughed in his face.
I even told him he has nice eyes.

"Ezra." Kiba looked over at her and she quickly put her phone away as she looked at him as well.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Hinata laughed when I told her what you told me your favorite color was." He whispers as their teacher began their lecture. "Why'd she do that?"

"Why does Hinata do half the things she does, Kiba?" Ezra says with a nervous smile.

He looked at her with a cocked eyebrow then twisted his lips.

"I'm gonna get to the bottom of this." He whispers to her.

——-

Lunchtime came soon enough and Kiba walked through the halls with Ezra heading towards the cafeteria area.

"So are you gonna tell me now?" Kiba asked stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Kiba, it's not that serious." Ezra sighs.

"It is serious if you're lying to me."

"Over a color Kiba?" Ezra scoffed. "Come on."

Kiba heaved a sigh. He then took his arm and placed it around Ezra's shoulder pulling her close to him as they walked. He leaned down to where his mouth was inches from her ear.

"So what's with Hinata laughing then?" He asked in a low tone.

Ezra chewed on the corner of her lip. "Because she's crazy."

Kiba chuckled and straightened himself up as they walked into the cafeteria. Hinata and Naruto already at the table with Kauri and Tenten. Kiba removed his arm from Ezra so they could sit. Tenten looked their way and covered her mouth to hide her giggles.

"Cut it out!" Kauri playfully pushed Tenten's shoulder as she snickered as well.

"You guys are dicks." Ezra facepalmed.

"What's going on?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing Naruto." Ezra quickly replied. He cocked an eyebrow.

"Nard, ask her what her favorite color is." Kiba says.

Kauri covered her mouth, Tenten's face turned completely red as she tried to hide her laughter and Hinata turned her head away.

"Uh, What's your favorite color Ezra?" Naruto asked awkwardly.

"Brown." Ezra replies quickly. Naruto looked at Kiba, before looking over at Ezra then the girls who huddled together trying to contain their laughter. Naruto looked at Kiba once again before he finally caugnt on.

"Dude." Naruto chuckles. "You're an idiot if you don't get it."

"Get what?" Kiba's eyebrows furrowed.

"Guys—"

"Okay He's suffering we should tell him." Kauri says.

"No!" Ezra frowned.

"No tell me." Kiba urges.

"Guys No!" Ezra covered her face with her hands.

"Kiba, what color are your eyes?" Naruto says crossing his arms.

"Brown why—" He stopped, looking over at Ezra. "Really?" He turned to Hinata. "Is that why you said I have nice eyes?"

"I have to use the bathroom." Ezra stood but Kiba grabbed her by her waist and pulled her back down.

"Oh no you dont." He says pulling her down. "You're not getting out of this."

Ezra huffed. Her eyes shot to Naruto.

"Naruto, what's Hinata's favorite color?" She asked.

"Huh why?"

"Just answer the question."

"Yes, please answer the question." Tenten urges.

"Blue." Naruto's voice trailed off as he slowly turned towards a blushing Hinata as she cleared her throat.

"Um, I gotta go to the bathroom." Hinata shot up and scurried away before Naruto could properly react.

"I'll go after her." Ezra says prying Kiba's arms from her and getting up. He slowly let go of her and let her leave. Kauri and Tenten followed as well. Kiba and Naruto looked at one another.

"They're so cute." Kiba says placing an elbow on the table and resting his chin in his hand. "I never woulda thought she thought she'd use my eye color as her favorite color."

"Did you see Hinata's face?" Naruto slightly blushed.

Kiba smirked looking at his friend.

"Well, blue is her favorite color." Kiba teases. Naruto's blush deepened.

"Fuck off Kiba." Naruto rolled his eyes but the blush remained on his face.

"Do you even have Hinata's number?" He asked.

"Well—no." Naruto ran a hand across the back of his neck.

"What are you waiting for?" Kiba asked.

"The right moment I guess."

"Naruto, I'm not telling you to kove fast, but what I am telling you is that eventually you're gonna have to spend time with Hinata without us. You'd need her number to do that."

"Are you gonna be hanging out with Ezra alone?" Naruto asked.

"This aint about me and Ezra Naruto."

"Why not?" He shrugged. "It started with you two."

"Ah, no." Kiba chuckles shaking his head. "This started when you bumped into Hinata and stalked her while she was in the library."

"I didn't stalk her!" He frowns.

"Dude you stood outside the library watching her." Kiba laughs. "That's stalking."

Naruto grunted. "She's just so delicate ya'know? I dont want to mess anything up."

"I understand." Kiba nods. "It's nothing wrong with that. But then again, if you're not putting some moves on her how is she gonna know you like her?"

Naruto stared at the table top in deep thought.

"I'm not saying confess your ever lasting love to her, but at least try a little harder, yeah?" Kiba smiles at his friend and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "What I'm saying is start dropping hints. Flirt; shoot your shot. You'll never know how she feels unless you tell her. She probably just thinks this is all for me and Ezra when in reality l, our focus is mainly on you two."

"Us?" Naruto's head went up as he looked over at Kiba who nodded.

"That pink haired girl came to the table and asked if you thought Hinata was hot." Kiba says with a smirk. "When you weren't looking, I snuck over to the table and asked Hinata did she think you were hot. Of course Kauri wanted to know if I was attracted to Ezra before Hinata gave her answer. And now here we are."

"Did you tell them anything?" Naruto asked.

Kiba shook his head. "Besides the fact that you occasionally checked out Hinata, no."

"I don't know if I should be upset that you told them I check her out or relieved that you said I occasionally check her out and made me sound less of a creep." Naruto laid in his folded arms on the table. "I'm such a jerk though. That fight with Sasuke on Saturday changed herbwhole views of me I'm sure."

"Hinata doesn't seem like that type of person to judge you off that." Kiba says. "And if she did look at you differently, she wouldn't have told you her favorite color was blue."

Naruto couldn't help but smile a little. "Hinata's eyes are beautiful." He mumbles.

"Then tell her your favorite color dude."

———-

"Practice is canceled today." Sasuke read the taped paper that was plastered onto the boy's locker room door to the Baseball team. "Apparently coach's wife is going into labor so he said practice is canceled untill further notice.

"Come on Naruto." Kiba pulled the blonde by the arm and pulled him away before he could say anything.

"Well that's relieving." Naruto says after a stretch and yawn. "Now we can have more time with the girls."

"Yeah but their helping Tenten with her work too mostly." Kiba says stuffing his hands in his pockets. They walked into the main building of the school and headed down the hall towards the library. Arriving at the library, the two of them walked inside to see the four girls sitting atbthe table hard at work. They approached and took their seats.

"What are you guys doing here so early?" Kauri asked in a whisper as the girls looked up.

"Coach's wife is in labor and he canceled practice untill further notice." Naruto says as he lays on the table.

"Well that's good to know." Tenten smirks then her smirk faltered. "Wait, that means my practice is canceled too."

"Huh?"

"Volleyball." Tenten says again. "Kureni is my coach and she was pregnant. She's been on maternity leave for about two weeks now, and left Anko in charge for the time being but Anko can't teach teenage girls volleyball when she's a college student herself."

"Woah I never knew Asuma and Kureni were married." Karui says.

"What rock have you been under?" Kiba jokes.

"Choji." Ezra says causing the table to laugh.

"Fuck you Izzy." Kauri says with a small smile.

After their study session, everyone was now on their way home. The streetlights were officially on, and the school was practically bare of anything living and moving. Kiba, Naruto, Hinata and Ezra walked through the brightly lit hallways to the exit and the student parking lot where Kiba had his car parked.

Naruto and Hinata walked side by side as they watched Kiba and Ezra walk ahead of them. Kiba's arm draped comfortably over Ezra's shoulders as she looked down at her. Whatever it was the two of them were talking about, gave both of them the biggest smiles on their faces. It made Hinata smile. Noticing the small small on her ivory skin made Naruto blush.

He watched as Hinata's hair bounced with every step she took. How those midnight blue locks brushed against her cheek. Her straight perfectly cut bangs swaying slightly across her brow. Her eyes showing genuine happiness as she watched her best friend walk with someone she really liked.

"She's so beautiful." Naruto found himself saying and Hinata's eyes darted towards him though she never moved her head. Naruto noticed and looked away quickly before running his hand across the back of his neck trying to focus on something else. Hinata turned towards Naruto and looked at him completely. She noticed the red tint on his birthmark whiskered face. How the redness of his cheeks slightly bringing out the speckle of freckles that danced across the  bridge of his nose. How his blonde coils bounced, how a lock of gold touched the tip of his nose as he looked down at the flooring. His bottom lip poked out into a scowl as he tried with everything in him not to look at her.

Hinata felt her heart skip a beat as she removed her hand from the pocket of her sweater and brushed it against Naruto's. Upon feeling the contact, Naruto's blushed deepend. Hinata took Naruto's hand in hers, never lacing their fingers together. Their hands intertwined with one another as they walked. Naruto couldn't stop himself from blushing and he looked down at he and Hinata's hands. Her hands were much smaller than his, and much more soft and smoother. While his were slightly rough from the sport he played but gave off just the right amout of heat to think this is the best feeling in the world for the both of them.

"White with hues of lavender." Naruto says to Hinata as they finally make it to Kiba's car. Hinata looked over at him confused.

"What?"

"T-That's my favorite color." He says. "It's not orange. I lied."

Hinata pursed her lips together and softly smiled. She watched the blush on Naruto's face deepend as he stared into her eyes.

"Pure blue." She whispers. "It'll always be my favorite color."
