Ch 26: Pizza Lodge (Part 2)

Hinata's POV:

"Say it Hinata," Naruto sung in my ear, "say it."

"Fine... you're the skeeball champion," I said in defeat, although seeing his excitement did make me smile inspire of myself.

"Ahhh music to my ears," he said dramatically before I elbowed him lightly in the side. "Alright i won't push it, what should we do next?" He asked as we walked around the arcade with his arm over my shoulder.

Everyone from our group was in the arcade playing games and having a great time and it really made me happy to see them all like this after struggling through finals.

I wish we could all be this happy all the time.

"I don't really care, I'm having fun just being here," I told him truthfully before something caught my eye. "On second thought lets do this," I said as I dragged him towards the photo booth in the corner.

He laughed as we squeezed into the booth and fed a dollar into the machine.

"Ok first let's do a duck face," he said with a laugh. We both made our most cringy duck faces as the screen counted down from 3 and then came the flash.

"Ok n-now let's just do a random silly face," I said as I puffed out my cheeks and crossed my eyes while Naruto used his fingers to stretch his mouth apart and stick his tongue out.

After the flash came we were laughing too hard to come up with a third idea so it was just a nice picture of us both laughing like lunatics. I was raking my brain trying to come up with a fourth idea as the screen started its countdown when I felt Naruto's hand on the back of my neck.

"Nar-" I had just enough time to look up at him and start to ask him what he was doing before his lips were on mine.

Holy wow..... this is...... wow

The kiss started off gentle enough but something about it just pulled me in like gravity and before I knew it I was turning into so I could kiss him more deeply. I could feel his hands in my hair while mine were wrapped around his neck. Eventually his lips left mine but our foreheads were still pressed together so that barely any space existed between us.

We were both breathing surprisingly heavy despite the fact that we were probably only kissing for a minute or two.

"W-what was that for?" I asked breathlessly.

His perfect lips curled into a slight smirk and mischievous delight twinkled in his eyes.

It is so not fair for him to be looking at me like this while we're in public....

"I just couldn't help myself... you were looking so cute trying to think of a pose for the last picture. I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me ya know."

Between the way he was looking at me and the way we just kissed, I couldn't speak even if I wanted too.

Words..... say words Hinata. Say something clever and flirty..... say anything you goof!

"Uh um... I.... y-you have a nice butt."

Nailed it.

He raised an eyebrow at me before leaning back and letting out a loud short laugh which made me blush. When he finished laughing he kissed me on the cheek.

"You have a nice butt too Hina."

I was about to respond when there was a knocking on the side of the booth.

"Hey you two the pizzas are ready, so put your clothes back on and let's eat," Sakura teased.

I blushed deeply as Naruto just rolled his eyes and collected the print outs from the booth. He smiled and handed me my copy.

"These are definitely keepers," he said as we walked out of the arcade and over to our booth.

I looked at the last photo and couldn't help but smile at how perfect we looked as he kissed me. We looked as if we were the only two people on the planet and that nothing else in the universe mattered.

"I don't know... w-we might have to redo this last one," I told him in a teasing voice as we slid into the booth. He just looked at me with a small smirk and a raised eyebrow.

"Would you two please stop eye-f*cking each other in front of my food?" Sasuke said in an exasperated but simultaneously uncaring tone causing Sakura to attempt to smother a small laugh. We both looked at Sasuke with varying degrees of annoyance.

That was a lot of words for him

"First of all Teme it's our food, second of all watch your language in front of the ladies," Naruto told him while Sasuke just rolled his eyes as he grabbed a piece of pepperoni.

Sakura leaned across the table towards me and stage whispered into my ear. "He's just upset that you two hogged the photo booth for so long," she finished with a wink causing me to blush which I tried to cover up by shoving a piece of taco pizza into my mouth. She chuckled and soon we were all talking about something else.

As everyone ate we all played a huge game of musical chairs trying to sit and talk with everyone else. I was currently laughing with Tenten as she told me about how she kept kicking Neji's butt at the alien shooting game in the arcade when I looked up and saw Kira laughing with Naruto across the restaurant.

A slight burning sensation started bubbling up in the pit of my stomach as I watched her place her hand on his shoulder. I could see he looked a bit uncomfortable but was trying to stay polite.

Stay calm Hinata, he's a big boy he's allowed to talk to other girls, he's just being friendly, and he'd never do anything to hurt you

I watched as Kira excused herself and walk towards the bathroom. She turned back to see if Naruto was watching her walk away and I almost laughed at the annoyed face she made when she saw that he wasn't.

Don't do it Hinata, nothing good will come of it if you go in there...

I got up and followed her into the bathroom not really sure what I was going to say once I got there. When I walked in Kira was looking in the mirror trying to touch up her make up as if there was something wrong with it.

This is stupid, she hasn't noticed me yet I should just go

"Something you wanted to say?" I looked back over my shoulder. She wasn't even looking at me, she just continued to add more make up as she spoke.

Deciding not to back down I turned and walked towards the sink next to hers. "Why? Is there something you need to hear?" I asked trying to keep my voice even and steady.
She looked at my reflection in the mirror and smirked a little before turning back to her own reflection.

"Nothing I haven't heard before. I'm used to girls threatening me or worse pretending to be nice to me," she paused to dab at her lipstick. "For what it's worth though I think you've got good taste," at this she finally looked at me with raised eyebrows.

I didn't trust myself to say anything so I just stood there with my arms crossed and looked at her with a face that I hoped said "are you waiting for an invitation, cut to the chase".

She rolled her eyes and leaned against the sink. "I suppose I could give you the whole 'I always get what I want,' 'he's too good for you,' 'I could make your life hell,' blah blah blah speeches but those get so old and boring."

Well at least she's not so full of it that she thinks I would be dumb enough to fall for any bs that she could come up with.

"So here's the thing, I like flirting and I'm not going to stop. Naruto is the only guy who I haven't been able to get my hands on, wh-"

"What about Sasuke?" I asked cutting her off, but she just rolled her eyes.

"Sasuke wouldn't have been any fun despite how hot he is.. Sure the dark and brooding thing can be kinda sexy but the guy barely talks or shows any emotion. I would've had to do all the work and that's just not worth it."

Ha if only Sakura were here.

"Anyways the fact that Naruto is so dense and has never realized I've been flirting with him is what makes it so much fun. So before you try to intimidate me or whatever, the answer is no I won't stop hitting on him.... but I'm also not going to try and "steal" him from you, 'Kay?"
And on that she walked out like nothing ever happened.

I stood there with a mixture of thoughts and emotions rolling through my body, not really sure what to make of the conversation.

Did.... did I win?

I walked out of the bathroom still not sure what I felt about what just happened. When I sat back down in the booth Sakura gave me a questioning look but I just waved it off letting her know that I'd tell her later. I was sitting in my seat deep in thought while munching on some pizza when I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder.

"Hey are you good? You've been acting strange since you left the bathroom?" I looked up at Naruto's concerned expression and immediately felt relief. I smiled up at him and kissed his cheek.

"I'm f-fine, it's really nothing," I said before snuggling deeper into the crook of his arm. I caught Kira eyeing us from across the restaurant. She didn't look sad or mad or jealous, she just looked amused.

When we were leaving and boxing up our leftovers Naruto brought me over to say goodbye to Mikey P.

"We're heading out Mikey, thanks for everything tonight the food was as perfect as ever ya know!"

"Only the best for you kid c'mere!" He laughed as he pulled Naruto into a rough but loving hug. When he released Naruto he turned to me and smiled. "Now you take good care of this guy ok? He doesn't always follow the rules like you and me, he's a bit of a trouble maker!"

I laughed and gave Mikey P a quick peck on the cheek "I'll make sure he s-stays out of trouble, thank you for tonight."

Everyone said goodbye and we all piled into the cars and made our way back to the cabin where everyone went up to their rooms to change into pajamas. Lee ate his pizza with enthusiasm as everyone was hanging out downstairs and talking.

I sat on the couch wrapped in Naruto's arms and I'm not exactly sure when but I fell asleep in them with a soft smile on my face.
