"Passengers for Flight 8043 to Los Angelos, the plane is now boarding. Please have your boarding passes and passports ready as you enter the plane," the lady on the intercom announced.

I haven't even looked at Naruto yet. This is really....nervewrecking! I can't believe that I'm actually going to a resort during Winter break with the crush of my life. To top things off, he asked me!

"You ready, Hinata?" he stood up from the chairs we were waiting at. "You have our tickets and passports, right?"

I nodded, "Y-yeah, in my pocket."

"Why are you shuddering? Are you cold or something?" Naruto took off his Adidas' orange running jacket and draped it over my shoulders. An immdiate burst of heat shot straight to my cheeks as his hands brushed my small shoulders.

"Better?" he gave me his giant signature goofy smile.

I was honestly out of words. Seriously, if he blinked just once, I'd faint. First, staying at a hotel with him and now he's draping jackets over my shoulders? I'm gonna need God to survive this trip.

I nodded before grabbing my carry on (it's actually my school backpack) which, of course, Naruto yanked out of my hands and threw it over one of his shoulders, his own on his other.

"You worry about the paper work, I got out bags handled," he replied.

"Uh, thanks," I looked away before scrambling in line after a typical American family. A father, mother, a son our age and a daughter with her friend; also our age or maybe a year younger.

Naruto casually walked in behind me. I had to hold back a yelp as his broad chest brushed my back slightly.

And the trip hasn't even started yet...

"Hey, look at that guy," I was pretty fluent in English (been taking lessons since I was 3) so I was able to recognize what the daughter was saying to her friend. "He's really, really hot for a Japanese, don't you think?"

I caught sight of her friend (a brunette with curls and brown eyes) stealing a look behind her before returning to her conversation, "You are so right. He's probably on par with that other hot guy we saw when we were touring Konoha High's campus, remember? The one with spiky black hair and a pink-haired girlfriend attached to his arm?"

"Right..." the daughter shuddered. "His girlfriend was...tramautizing."

Something tells me they found Sasuke and the she-devil side of Sakura. I tried to hold back a burst of giggles.

The daughter sighed again, "But we're out of luck again. This guy's also with his girlfriend."

Oh I wish!

"It doesn't look like it," Bruentte looked again. "They seem like just friends."

And you're right.

"What makes you say that?"

"I can tell just by the way they're standing. The guy is close but not as close as a boyfriend would stand plus they don't seem like they're on speaking terms. More of forced to go to LA."

Well, we weren't techniqually forced to go together. Naruto just thought it'd be fun to take a girl who was crazy in love with him to a resort with him for the week, that's all.

...This hotel room better have two rooms or I want a refund... Itachi's head would be perfect...

"There's only one way to find out," the brunette snapped her fingers. "You ask for the guy's number."

"Oh no, I'm not letting you girls hit on some random guy and getting chased by his crazy girlfriend again," the brother (six foot tall and very, very familiar), "That was troublesome, tiresome, and annoying."

"Shut up, Axel," his sister snapped at him.

"Make me, Kylie." he rebounded.

She stuck her tongue out at her brother.

A breath of wind tickled my ear, "I'm curious about their conversation. What do they mean by the stance of a friend and a boyfriend."

My voice was completely stuck in my throat. Naruto didn't just ask that... no way could he have ever asked a question like that... right?

"Maybe it might might be our hands," his giant hand slid down my arm, causing goosebumps as they went. They finally reached my tiny one and he slid his fingers between mines.

"Or let me think," Naruto's hand left mines and his arm was in action this time. He wrapped them around my waist and deepened the contact between his chest and my back.

"Maybe this?" Oh gosh... he's giving me a back hug! Naruto Uzumaki, the guy I've fallen head over heels for is giving me a back hug!

"Nah, it's all this," his lips brushed my cheek. My feet felt wobbly, my heart was the beating louder than the engine of an airplane. I'm gonna be needing CPR soon.

No wait, that means Naruto might...

"Hey! Idiots what the hell you doing in the middle of an airport?!" thank you all the looking supernatural organisms on Earth for -

Sasuke?!

Naruto never let me go as he turned his head around at the sound of the voice, "Why the hell are you here?"

I turned my head just enough to spot Sasuke walking up to us, his hands in his shorts pockets and strolling casually up to us; of course a giant crowd of fan girls right behind him and...

"Oui, Sakura-chan," Naruto blinked. And almost like that, his arms left my waist. Complete hurt settled into my body...

Naruto still does have feelings for Sakura, doesn't he?

I didn't want to show him or anyone else I was hurt by the action, instead I just smiled and waved at them.

"Why are you guys here, anyway?" Naruto asked.

"Oh, we're not the only ones here," Sasuke shifted his carry on. "Kiba, Ino, Sai, Neji, Tenten, Temari, and Shikamaru are also coming. Choji had to help his dad with the restaurant so he couldn't come."

"How-?"

"You forgot that Sasuke also owns the resort," I replied a little harshly before turning to face the front of the line. Since we were the last ones in line, our friends just squeezed in.

Naruto blinked, "Oh, right."

I glanced at the two girls in front of us. They were too in shock because they ran into Sasuke and Sakura a second time in their trip.

The rest finally emerged when we made it to the front of the line. The lady gave us all a smile as we started filing into the the tunnel leading to the aircraft. Naruto was behind me but I wasn't walking alone. Ino and Sakura flaked my sides as we chatted and entered the airplane.

"Hey Hinata, sit with me," Naruto said as we reached our seats in the first-class section.

I honestly didn't want to sit with him. I don't blame him for noticing but I don't want to get anymore hurt than I already am. Neji seemed to have noticed something so he volunteered to sit with Naruto, who accepted with longing eyes at me. Too bad, your stupid feelings are still for Sakura.

And it doesn't seem like it's going to change anytime soon.

~~~~~

I know, I know, I'm sorry. How could there be so much NaruHina moments at the beginning of the chapter than Crash! Hinata is mad at him again.

But honestly, aren't you, too?
