A.N.

Hello everyone!!!

So yesterday was my birthday and I'm still hypeee! But today is Naruto's birthday and I have decided to make a oneshot special about him.

But with a twist.

I have decided to include characters from my two dark Naruhina stories: A Crazy Accident and Bound.

So if you have not read those books, you will surely be confused on what is going on in this chapter. Like you will seriously be confused. So I say, don't read this one.

Spoilers lie ahead if you haven't finished reading Bound.

A Crazy Accident and Bound has to be read first in order to read this Oneshot! So just to let you know as a disclaimer.

BUT, if you have read A Crazy Accident and Bound and are yearning to see more of Ray, Leo, Noah, Naruto, Hinata, Kureani, Ino, Tsuande, Stefan and even Eddie.

Then, here you are!

This chapter is very, very long. Like 40,000 words long. So I chose to split up the chapter into two parts. So you're probably gonna be reading for a while, I hope you don't mind.

Also, this oneshot has a lime and two lemons to let you all know. It's mature. But that's all I'm saying, hehe! I figured that'll make up for my absence.

Also, one more thing I want to mention. Inside the story you will notice that I have placed Naruto's birthday on a Friday instead of a Sunday. I did that on purpose. 😏

But anyway that is all!

Of course there will be more oneshots coming on the way!

But in the meantime, I really hope you enjoy! I worked so hard on this chapter.

Comment your thoughts and vote!

Happy Birthday Naruto!
ACA/Bound Edition

⚠️(Warning: Contains Mature Content)⚠️

Hinata has been contemplating for a long time what she should do for her fiance's birthday. He's been so good to her now that everything was peaceful. There was no more violence. No more killing. No more abuse. No more, Menma. Now, it was just a family bonding together but Naruto's 35th birthday was beginning to draw nearer and she has been stumped on what to do to celebrate. She wanted his day to be absolutely perfect but didn't know where to begin. Hmm, what to do? I don't know, seek help from Naruto's closest buddies, Ray, Stefan, Leo and Eddie. They'll know just what to do to make Naruto's special day... epic.

Hinata's P.O.V

Staring nervously back at a calendar within my kitchen, I set my top teeth down on my bottom lip, biting it in response to my nerves.

The large calendar that was strung up on the refrigerator by colorful magnets was marked with several reminders on certain dates which pertained to a few people in the house.

Like...

October 7:
Tuesday

-Noah's soccer practice.

Note to Naruto: Naruto, please remember to pick up Noah. His soccer practice starts at 4:30 pm after school and ends at 6:00 pm. Thank you so much, sweetheart!

-Truly yours, Hinata

October 8:
Wednesday

-Stefan's doctor appointment.

Reminder: Just a simple check up due to the injuries he's endured earlier in the year. Appointment begins: 11:30 am.

-Kurenai

October 9:
Thursday

-Ino, Kureani, Hinata and Tsuande's Day Off!

-Scheduled spa appointment for Ino.

And then there was..

Naruto's birthday.

My lavender eyes stared back at the number ten rooted on the right hand side of the paper, directed under the day..

Friday.

I then dragged my eyes up to the month that was printed in big letters at the top of the calendar.

October.

It read.

I bit my lip harder. "Oh boy-" But just as I said those words a loud masculine cheer rang out into the entire house where most of the household members were quietly tending to their own matters.

"Ahh, hell yeah! It's almost my birthday, fuckers!"

Loud and proud, my fiance rushed down the stairs in only pajamas which were green plaid pants and a grey muscle shirt which was worn over his highly defined chest.

Naruto's footsteps were boisterous, startling everyone in the house as he rushed down the stairs at full speed, both of his feet stomping the life out of each step.

The men of the house, Ray, Leo, Stefan, and Eddie were sitting comfortably within the living room while watching an action-packed movie. Occasionally, I could hear the four men talking loudly and cursing in response to the events of the movie they chose while I cooked lunch.

Tsuande was busy within her medical room which was filled with gadgets of her liking.

Ino and Kureani were instead outside, lying on the bench chairs to tan in the afternoon sun. Ever since we went on our cruise trip three months ago, they've grown addicted to the luxurious life. So often you can find them lounging by the pool, swimming, and drinking cocktails out back. Sometimes, I would join them. A girl's day out is always nice, especially when all three of us are not busy with our jobs and have absolutely nothing else to do. Of course some days we only choose to sit around and talk outside because the weather could be very chilly since it's fall. Swimming on those days is gonna only get you very sick. So we girls often keep track of the weather when it comes to our get-togethers.

And then, there was Noah, my son who has just recently turned eleven years old. Now, he was in the process of jetting out of his bedroom due to the sound of his favorite person's voice. A wide grin could be spotted on his tan face as he ran full speed down to the stairs where Naruto was located.

"Ooh, dad! You said a bad word! Actually," Noah stopped running briefly to count on his fingers how many profanites his father just said. He moved one hand up to scratch his blonde head as he carried on with his adorable little action. "One. Two." He gasped loudly, two fingers of his posted up which was a mechanism to help him count. But he gasped at such a sight.

And with that, he resumed running, practically throwing himself downstairs. "You said a lot of bad words, dad!" My precious son shouted, chastising his father as he rushed down the stairs as well, creating an even louder ruckus.

I giggled at the sound of my sweetheart's responses and moved out of the kitchen to greet Naruto and Noah. Slowly, I walked away from the calendar and from the meal I just made, which was a large dish of Italian meatballs and a side of hand-tossed salad. It was a meal that can be distributed between everyone.

The main dish, the Italian meatballs, was set on the stove, piping hot, just ready to be consumed which, will happen any minute now.

Everyone's hungry after all.

Excitedly as ever, I made my way into the large area that led to many places. The kitchen and where Eddie and Leo's room were located. No longer did Ray live within his own room downstairs but in Ino's room upstairs. The two love birds now shared a room together; that meant Ray moving in all of his stuff inside of my best friend's room to grow close to her.

So now Eddie stayed within Ray's old room as a new member of our squad.

A little down further was where two rooms could be found.

A bathroom and a room where laundry is mostly washed.

The bathroom downstairs however is hardly used since Eddie and Leo already have a bathroom connected to their room. But we always use the room where the washing and dryer is in.

Washing clothes is essential after all.

But across from the hallway and from Leo and Eddie's room was where the living room was found. And located towards the right hand side of the stairs was a door which led to the outside patio where the pool was also found.

But I only settled on rushing out to see Naruto and Noah who were tussling in the middle of the house, right in front of the stairs.

Noah was laughing his head off as he swung back and forth from where he held onto Naruto's shoulders from previously jumping on him from behind. Naruto, laughing in pure amusement, rocked Noah's small body side to side aggressively.

"Ah, Noah, you're such a buzzkill!"

"That's because you have a potty mouth, dad!"

Both looked so happy and honestly, I didn't want to ruin such a moment. It was truly a blessing to see the two smile so big as they do now.

Our past was so rocky and even this year has been insane, holding memories in which I want to so badly forget.

But these moments make up for everything.

And I wouldn't give it up for anything.

We've come so far and now, all we know is peace.

So that only brought me back to the special date that was coming up in four days.

Naruto's birthday.

For weeks I have been trying to figure out the perfect birthday gift for him because he's been so good to me, to the entire family these past few months.

It truly seems like he's a changed man.

He's been teaching Noah a lot about his powers. He practices with him, day and night, always making time for him. He even plays soccer with him as a practice mechanism and Noah appreciates it tons. Also, he always picks him up at school and from his soccer practice. He shows up to his soccer games and tends to be the loudest parent there.

I giggled to myself.

I can hear Naruto now.

"Noah! Kick the hell out of that ball!"

"Hell yeah! That's my boy!"

He's so supportive and really is a big help, especially when I personally cannot be there for Noah due to my new job at the hospital.

A different one, of course.

He's always there. Naruto's my confindate. A lover I can truly lean on if I am in dire need.

But he not only helps me but he's always there for his pals too. When his friends are feeling jittery, he tends to shower them with attention. And that is usually when the men go to the city for a guy's night out, hitting the bar.

Ever since Naruto's club has been destroyed, he has not stepped foot back into a single club since and only settled on spending his time at the bar with Leo, Ray, Eddie and Stefan, to chug a drink or two and share a conversation that lasts for hours. Naruto loves me very much and hasn't even thought of doing anything to jeopardize our relationship, not like he used to do before. He never leaves home alone and if he does it's only to pick Noah up from school or soccer practice during the day.

He's very committed.

Also, he hardly ever gets mad which I find a little weird seeing Naruto has a history of being a complete hothead with no restraint.

But nope. No anger.

No, abuse.

Hardly ever does he force me to have sex with him or force himself on me. Such an action when it comes to sex has no longer been one-sided.

Both of us are obliged to indulge in some lovely intercourse.

And oh boy is it lovely. He treats me right in the bedroom, just as he's done outside of it. He caters to my needs and never does anything I do not want.

He knows my limits and respects them.

No longer does he push my limits and in result cause me discomfort. No longer is he the man that degrades me during sex. No longer, does he treat me harshly.

The darkness that had a hold of him is long gone.

It's been that way ever since Menma died.

Naruto seems like a totally different person.

And I love him dearly for that. I cherish him so much, for he holds a very special place within my heart.

A place where I hold Noah.

I loved my son and fiance more than anyone and for that, I finally moved away from the wall I was leaning on to enter the hall where my special boys were playing.

I smiled, big and wide as I made my way near them. But I didn't have to get too close before the two noticed me. Just as if I was a magnet that draws in metal, Noah and Naruto whipped around to lock eyes on me, acting as the metal.

Instantly, at the sight of me within their presence it brought joy to the two of them.

Noah cheered loudly, dropping down from Naruto's strong shoulders to land safely back onto the floor.

"Yayyy! Mommy!!" He exclaimed in pure excitement, his body running straight towards me where I granted him in with open arms.

Nothing but warmth was offered to my dear son as he ran straight into my arms and from there, I hugged him as tight as I could, groaning softly.

Naruto smiled from afar but soon that smile turned into a sly one once his mischievous mind conjured up something sneaky.

Soon, he began to tiptoe his way towards us in hopes of surprising the two of us. And because I was too diatracted from the hug Noah was giving me, I hadn't even noticed the blonde male that was now stalking towards us.

Only until it was too late.

Suddenly, large hands wrapped around the both of us, Noah and I, and before we knew it, we were hauled up into the air, our feet completely leaving the ground which took us by major surprise. The action was done out of nowhere which violently ripped Noah and I out of our loving moment.

I gasped in shock as a response. "N-Naruto!" I yelped out which only caused the blonde male in question to laugh humorlessly, for he thought his sneaky plan was so funny.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest, taking them away from Noah seeing we were now in great hands. But, I didn't see Naruto's action as hilarious. It was cute, but I only wanted a moment with my son. However, I bit my lip once I caught the positive look that resided on my fiance's face, my lavender eyes taking it all in. I couldn't help but smile.

I suppose I could let it pass.

Naruto loves to joke around after all.

And so who am I to stop and ruin his fun? It's just like he said.

His birthday is coming up.

He has a right to joke and play around.

So instead, I allowed myself to smile while Noah was busy laughing because of Naruto's evil little plan which he found highly amusing.

Naruto chuckled, giving us a tight squeeze with his strong arms before setting the both of us down on the ground again.

"Mmm, you gotta stay alert at all times. There's no telling," He trailed off to move two fingers over to pinch my cheek and also ruffle Noah's blonde hair. We both giggled in relation. That brought a heartwarming smile to Naruto's face. "when someone will get ya!" He growled out, finishing his earlier statement of advice and from there, he went back to being the jokester he was because he began to tickle Noah like crazy, driving his fingers into the blonde boy's armpits, neck and his sides. Noah squirmed uncontrollably because of the action.

"Ahh, dad! Th-This, is overkill!" He said in between laughs while moving side to side in an attempt to get away from the world of discomfort which Naruto has forced upon him.

But soon, just as Noah wanted, Naruto stopped and he rubbed his head once again. "Alright, alright. I'll stop. But you run along, I wanna have a minute with your mother." He demanded while lightly pushing the boy away by giving his head a nudge forward, working his body towards the living room where the rest of the family was sitting.

Noah didn't say another word but jetted away obediently, leaving us alone without so much as a complaint. I giggled upon that.

Oh poor Noah.

I smiled faintly as I watched him quickly make his way into the living room only to disappear from my view. But turning around, a gorgeous blonde man was instead present within my view and I absolutely loved the sight.

I smiled at Naruto as he stepped closer to my form which was only wearing a black tank top and grey joggers, my feet accompanying bunny slippers.

Naruto let out a low moan at the sight of me before him, his blue eyes trailing my body up and down. He gave his lips a quick lick. "Mm, why hello, my sexy fiance. Don't you look good to eat." He whispered hotly from where he towered in front of me, his height overshadowing mine. But no longer did his presence so close intimidate me. Actually, with him being so close and smelling so good, he is only exciting to me.

I giggled upon his sultry words, my lavender eyes nervously drifting away. "N-Naruto-" But I was silenced by warm lips connecting with my own, large arms working forward to pull me into a large body full of muscles which I completely melted into.

My eyes rolled in response as I felt the pleasant feel of Naruto's lips on mine, sucking and pecking my own in a love fury. He groaned into the kiss, moving his head to deepen it a bit. But only for a bit.

"Mmm, Hinata." He whispered before ending the kiss and allowing me to collect myself because I was definitely dazed. I blinked rapidly to get a hold of myself, my eyes completely hooded due to the wonderful kiss I was given from my handsome fiance.

Naruto chuckled at the glossy look in my eyes. "Heh, you're so cute, love. But even now, after all the intense sex we've done together, all the fun we have, you're still struggling to handle me. Mmm, that's okay. One day.." He trailed off to pull his lips down to my neck where he kissed and pecked expertly, just the way I liked which had my eyes rolling once more. One hand of his moved up to cup the left side of my face while the other slithered along my backside which he grabbed rather roughly, resting his limb there to help keep me still.

"You'll be able to tame me. But for right now, I am the dominant one in this relationship, baby."

My body was melting within his hold as Naruto whispered seductively against my skin while frequently leaving butterfly kisses up and down my sensitive neck, teasing me with his mouth and tongue which filled my world with pleasure. His impressive skill in pleasuring my body has always blown me away and even now, I cannot seem to get a grasp of it. He always overpowers me, always rocks my world like none other, leaving me begging, yearning for more.

And now, I feel the same, exact way. Just from having his lips on mine, on my neck, I now wanted every part of him. That, is how deeply devoted I am to the man in front of me.

He, is my everything.

And so, the rest of it all, was a blur.

With moans, I jumped up only to be caught by strong arms, hands slithering over my legs to hold onto my bottom. Now holding my ass, Naruto gave each buttcheek of mine a tight squeeze before rushing into the kitchen, my body now held up by his hands.

On his way to the kitchen, I took control and gave the man I love another kiss but this time it was much messier. The kiss quickly turned into making out because soon our tongues were involved which lapped crazily at the other.

I moaned loudly by the tingling sensations I felt from having Naruto's tongue encircle my own, our hips rutting against one another, desperate to feel the other's body.

"Ooh Naruto."

"Oh fuck. You're so hot, Hinata." Naruto whispered out underneath his breath before lightly setting me down onto the beautiful and clean kitchen island that was positioned in the middle of the large room.

And from there, Naruto gave my core a harsh thrust with his hips which caused my entire body to violently move away from him, my legs launching forward to cling on to his waist.

I yelped out in surprise by the immense pleasure I felt rushing through my body so suddenly. But I giggled as I looked back up at my horny lover, completely enjoying myself within my fiance's arms. "Oh Naruto. You're so rough." An amused chuckle cut me off, the blonde male's face working to draw closer to my own. And from there, I stared deeply within the powerful eyes that Naruto possessed which gazed down at me like jewels, twinkling and glowing within the kitchen light in which I previously left on.

My smile widened due to joy, one hand of mine rising up to cup Naruto's defined cheek, my thumb massaging along his strong jawline which was clearly evident even where it was positioned within his skin.

He purred at the feel of my soft touch which was the one true thing that could soften the heart of a man. A true man.

A woman's touch.

A woman's love.

Naruto looked in bliss as he stared down at me, marveling me from where I laid. Honestly, the look he was sending me at the moment made me the happiest woman on earth, I couldn't contain my smile.

He bit his lip in a seductive manner, his head leaning to cuddle within my hand. He even gave the inside of it a light kiss with his soft lips. He moaned. I bit my lip. "Ya know, Hinata, I can't remember a time in my entire life that I have ever been this happy. Even as a child, the week of my birthday, hell even on my birthday, it has never been this exciting, so fucking positive before. I am truly glad to have you. I don't d-deserve you b-" I placed a finger to his lips once he uttered the last words of his confession which were riddled with guilt and self loathing. I did not want my lover to feel that way anymore. Things were peaceful now and all I wanted for Naruto was to experience nothing but happiness. With everything he's been through, faced and learned, he does deserve to be happy.

Everyone deserves to feel happiness. No matter who they are.

And hearing him speak in such a matter brought back old feelings, ones I wish to never feel again. I shook my head, pulling my thumb up to instead caress at Naruto's lips, lightly brushing against them which managed to move them slightly. He calmed in response. I smiled. "Naruto, you are wrong. You deserve everything you have now. Yes, the past was..." I trailed off, averting my eyes to think of a correct word to describe our horrid past. But Naruto managed to beat me to it.

"Shit. The past was shitty, Hinata." He replied back soberly, completely serious as he spoke such vulgar words. But by now, I was used to his indecent vocabulary so I only settled on nodding for he was correct.

The past was horrible.

I let out a sigh. "Y-Yes. But it doesn't mean you don't deserve to feel happiness. You have atoned for your sins, my love. You have paid the price for what you've done and now, you are all sin free which means you are welcome to enjoy life to the fullest. You are a free man, a changed man. A man I love with every piece of my heart. Oh Naruto," I leaped up to give the blonde male I loved a huge hug, wrapping my arms around his neck and bringing him into my bosom. He moaned softly by my action, slightly taken by surprise. But he accepted it nonetheless and hugged me back, engulfing me with nothing but warmth.

I hummed softly, rubbing his back with the tips of all ten of my fingers which relaxed my vigorous lover.

"Please, don't say such things, Naruto. Please." I whispered pleadingly by his ear which managed to stick to his brain and from there, he grew convinced. Deeply, he listened to my words and took them into account that yes, he has done terrible wrongdoings but everyone of them has been paid for. He suffered from the horrors of prison where he stayed alone for ten years straight. He was denied the ability to see or talk to anyone, not even his family for years which could drive the sanest person mad. He missed ten years of his son's life, time he can never get back ever again.

Then afterwards, he was tormented by his cousin who was hellbent into destroying his life and what happiness he did have within it. Naruto was forced to endure a medicine, a poison that could convert his personality, change and twist up his memories so he was no longer the man I loved but a man of darkness. His family suffered. His friends suffered and to make matters worse, his eyes were taken away from him which frightened not only him but his family seeing his eyes possessed power, power beyond anything this world has ever seen. His eyes could control anyone that looked within them and from there, he was able to manipulate them with only his mind to do his bidding. But all of that flew out of the window when his cousin took them from him, stabbing each of his eyes with a knife which reprimanded him the ability to see. Thankfully, with a bunch of medical attention and my entire savings account, I was able to get his eyes back. But his punishments didn't stop there.

No.

There was one more thing he had walked away from unanswered for and because of that, he later on found his club lying in ruins, completely bombed due to the Shinigani members' rage caused by the fall of their mafia leader, Menma, who died by my hands.

I closed my eyes tightly at the thought of such a vile memory, holding back tears.

Naruto has been through so much in order to make up for all the horrid things he's done to innocent people, to his mother, to me, but now...

He is a man cleansed of his past sins.

He is a man that is worth forgiving, that is worth fighting for.

That is worth loving.

He has earned it all and even still he does so much to prove to everyone that he is capable of doing good. He has proven that the man he once was has died and will never come back again. So now, I held him close, so close to my body, hugging him as I do Noah, to erase all the doubt within his mind and to heal him. That, is what I do best and right now, Naruto needed my help and I was more than happy to give it to him.

I cradled Naruto within my arms, like a child, bringing my hands up to run it through his disheveled blonde hair, to further relax him.

He sighed breathlessly, truly enjoying himself within my arms. "Damn.. I feel like an idiot now. I'm sorry you have to put up with my bullshit, Hinata-"

"It's okay, Naruto. I understand completely. It's only been months since we've fought off Menma and had to undergo hell-"

"Fuck. It was so much hell. Damn, truly it feels like a dream."

I rustled my fiance's hair once more. "Yes it does but we lived it and survived. Standing strong, side by side, we managed to get through the worst of the worst which makes all of us-"

"Family." Once more Naruto cut me off to instead take the word straight from my mouth which only showed how well he knew me inside and out. And it also showed that he knew much of how my mind worked.

He pulled himself up so he was gazing down at me again, instantly spotting the pure emotion that was held within both of my lavender eyes, my messy hair lying in a bun, smashed into the counter underneath me. But I paid it no mind.

Once again, he stood frozen above me, just taking in my appearance, my facial features and my eyes. And I watched as the man that used to never smile, that only barked orders and abused his loved ones, smiled, directing the positive gesture down at me.

Just about all of his shiny, sparkly teeth were revealed, his lips parted wide to give me the biggest smile I have ever seen, a smile filled with joy and appreciation; love and understanding.

Naruto chuckled, moving down to peck my lips once more. "Mmm, I just love you woman." He groaned out which made me blush, the red hue taking over my entire face.

But I kissed Naruto back, slowly pressing my lips against his only to pull back to glance up at his eyes which never left mine.

I smile, large and bright as well, revealing the love I felt for him. "And I love you, Naruto."

-A Few Minutes Later-
In The Dining Room

Minutes passed from the small talk I had with Naruto and now, everyone was sitting upon a chair within the dining room with a plate of yummy food placed in front of him. Steam carried it's way from everyone's plates and into the air which tells everyone that the meal was very hot but well cooked.

A smile could be seen on my face as I carried my positive lavender eyes around the table, just inspecting my loved ones around me.

Sitting close to the end of the long grand table, Naruto could be spotted sitting beside me, alone at the end of the table. Occupied with the food he found scrumptious, he used his metal fork to stab each ball of meat in his plate to then guide it up to his mouth which he devoured quickly. His eyes were concentrated on his food for a while, steadily switching between the meat and his greens, his bowl of salad to fill his belly. Only until he felt eyes upon him, did he shift his eyes up briefly to spare his surroundings a look.

My smile widened once my eyes connected with blue ones which brightened at the sight of my gaze. Naruto's jaws were stuffed with delicious meat, encased in well seasoned tomato sauce but that little obstacle didn't stop him from expressing his emotions.

He smiled, a large one, his lips spreading from ear to ear for a brief moment at the sight of my gaze. My smile widened at him by such a sight. Once he chewed up his food, he was quick to swallow it. He chuckled once his mouth was indeed empty. But he kept his eyes on me the entire time.

I then watched as he lightly bit his bottom lip. "Hello, beautiful." He whispered before slithering his hand around his plate to reach for my own hand which I allowed for him to grab.

Instantly, my small limb was engulfed with warmth as my strong lover held it within his own, the thumb of his caressing the very top of my entire hand. Such an action alone heated my entire body up, causing my cheeks to turn red. I bit my lip as well. "Hello, my love." I whispered back which warmed Naruto's heart as well.

He gave his head a tilt which caused his unkempt blonde hair to shift over to one side, his eyes fixated on me which revealed how deeply entranced he was by me. A dreamy look could be spotted within his blue eyes now, a look that has only surfaced right after our talk. It was a talk he probably needed and it was good that I gave it to him, that I said the right things to make him feel better. Seeing Naruto happy and content, makes me just the same.

The blonde male that sat beside me let out a sigh of bliss, keeping his caressing up which felt wonderful to my smooth skin. "Hinata, I just want to thank you once again. You don't know how much your words of encouragement means to me. I cherish every single word. I appreciate the small talks we have. I-It makes up for all the time that I've gone without having a positive woman figure in my life. It makes up for the absence of my mother's guidance. So I-" Naruto paused for a second to look away, his chest heaving slightly as a result of his fervent emotions. His words were so deep, so passionate as he went about telling me something that he found touching about the talks we have, about the care that I show for him. I couldn't help but feel appreciated.

Now, that Naruto was a changed man one quality that he has taken on was now, he was more open. He was not afraid to tell me something that was bothering him. He confided in me and always loved talking to me for he absolutely yearned to hear what I had to say. Every time we talk, he walks away with a better mindset, a stronger and healthier one which explains why he grows more positive each passing day. Truly, I am so, so glad I play a powerful role in his life. It warms my heart and further makes these moments of peace memorable.

Enjoyable.

My eyes teared up a bit while staring back at my lover that sat beside me, my hand held within his. His thumb constantly caressed each of my knuckles, the finger of his encircling and massaging my skin in a way that caused tingles to form, sliding up and down my back. I shuddered in response. Naruto laughed at that.

And with my hand, he pulled it up gently to kiss the top of it, lightly pressing his lips on my hand which made me purr. He winked sexily afterwards. "Thank you, Hinata." He pulled down my hand, setting it back on the table as gently as possible. "Thank you, baby." He whispered once more before he ended our conversation to go back to eating, his hand leaving mine, sadly, to grab his metal fork lying on his glass plate.

I pouted a little now that Naruto was no longer giving me attention but, I returned the favor. "You're welcome, Naruto." I whispered back to him before turning my gaze to the rest of the individuals that sat at the table eating. They were so quiet, after all.

I sniffed back my heartfelt tears before turning my head to the right. But when I did, I instantly spotted why everyone was so quiet. Every single adult here, including Noah, were staring back at Naruto and I with a look of amazement on their faces.

My eyes widened at that, completely surprised. "Wh-What-?"

"Oh my goodness. Isn't that just an adorable sight! So cute!" Ino purred out, marveling at the sight of the loving moment Naruto and I had between each other.

Speechless, my mouth opened and closed several times. I didn't know what to say. I hadn't even known we were being watched. I was so into the conversation with my fiance, the world around me seemed to fade out.

But thankfully, Naruto caught onto the situation. The sound of Ino's voice reeled him in.

His eyebrows furrowed a little as he chewed his food aggressively, his blue eyes narrowing playfully. Once he swallowed his chewed up food, he pointed one finger down to the laughing men at the end of the table and snorted. "What's so funny?"

Ray held up his phone and showed it off to Leo who sat beside him, a video recording playing on his device.

"Thank you, Hinata. Thank you, baby."

Naruto growled in response to Ray's mischievous deed, his finger directed at the ripped brown male at the end of the table, across from him. "Oh, so you guys think that's funny, huh? That moment between my woman is exclusive. Delete that shi-" He paused in his words before shifting his eyes over to Noah who sat across from me, but beside Naruto. His blue eyes stared down at the blonde boy as he ate away at his saucy meatballs and even his bowl of salad, several hums escaping his mouth. The eleven year old boy seemed completely in a different world as he just ate away at my cooking. But that didn't settle with Naruto. He wanted to be able to tell his giggling friends off and he didn't want his innocent son to hear a single word he said.

So with that, he reached over the table to place two hands on both of Noah's ears which alerted him.

"Hey!"

"Shush, Noah."

Noah frowned, now unable to hear the conversation that was being said. But that, was Naruto's plan all along. Now with his son unable to hear the many profanities he was about to say, he returned to the conversation.

With playful eyes, Naruto nodded at Ray's phone which was playing the video the male previously took over and over. The brown haired male was steadily showing it to people. Ino, Stefan and Eddie.

"Delete that shit, Ray."

Ray chuckled, pulling up the phone to wave it teasingly at the blonde man from afar. "Nope! This video is too adorable to delete. Just face it Naruto, you're not winning."

Leo, hand covering his face was laughing his ass off at the sight of his former boss revealing mushy emotions, ones that obviously was new to the three men. Even Eddie sat with a smirk on his face.

Kureani laughed from where she sat beside me, laughing at Ray's response.

I shook my head. "Come on, you guys. This isn't funny. That moment was serious." I chimed in, trying to put my say in the situation. But everyone was so wrapped up in their excitement, I wasn't heard at all.

Everyone at the table took the situation as amusing which in result riled Naruto up and embarrassed me. I let out a sigh from where I sat as nothing but laughter filled the entire room, Ray exchanging his phone with Kureani next who wanted a look at the video herself.

Now, I could see the video for myself and I leaned towards Kurenai a bit to see more of it. The black haired woman pressed play on the large device and from there, I saw an entire video that was shot from afar which captured the scene where Naruto confessed that he truly liked the talks me and him have due to the fact they make up for having no mother that would talk to him the way that I do. It was truly heartfelt.

Kureani cooed in response, placing one hand down on her chest. "Oh, now isn't that sweet. Naruto, this was wonderful. The intensity in your eyes was so effective. Hinata deeply deserved to hear such words. They were so, shocking." She giggled, which cut her words off. "Wow." She declared, complimenting Naruto on his ardent words. But the blonde male only rolled his eyes, letting go of the situation which he found childish.

"Fine. Keep the damn video." He remarked distastefully but stopped to whisper one thing underneath his breath. "Fucking weirdos." And with that, he pulled his hands away from Noah's ears. So now, the young boy can hear again. We all watched, amused, as he switched his eyes around the table, taking in the smirking people around him.

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait, what's happening?" He asked curiously which I only settled on shaking my head at him.

"Oh nothing, Noah. Let's eat again, hm?" I declared happily which was done to convince my son to ignore his curiosity and instead resume eating his dinner. Successfully, my command worked.

"Okay, mommy!"

I smiled but turned towards Naruto to see him staring back at me, a small smile found on his face.

He hummed, before pulling his hand over to caress my cheek. "It doesn't matter if they think my mushy moments are funny. It doesn't change the meaning of my words. I mean everything I said to you." He whispered softly which once again caused everyone to coo, their eyes still plastered on us.

"Oh goodness! This is definitely something to get used to!" Ino screeched.

"Shit, that's beautiful. You surely do have a way with words, Naruto." Leo chimed in, finally putting his two scents into the conversation. Naruto ignored the people around him and only stared down at me, smiling.

"Don't listen to them, baby. Keep your eyes on me, I wanna give you something. I wanna put on a show."

Cheeks red, I stared in anticipation as Naruto leaned forward towards me while keeping his hand posted on the side of my cheek. His eyes closed and with that, his lips planted themselves onto my own, giving me a soft kiss filled with love.

I groaned while everybody cheered as if they were watching a romantic movie or something.

Noah's mouth dropped at the sight of our kiss but his eyes were quickly covered by Tsuande who sat beside him.

He groaned, folding his arms across his chest in frustration, his eyes now covered.

"Ah man!"

Our kiss wasn't long, our heads pulling away from the other. My eyes stared at Naruto lovingly, once again completely dazed and excited. But Naruto's eyes were directed on Ray, Leo and Stefan at the end of the table, a slyness held within his dark blue orbs.

Throwing up the bird, Naruto chuckled. "Now record that shit." He declared amusingly before lowering his hand away from my face to grab his fork again.

Ray, a smirk on his face, glanced over to his lover that sat beside Eddie on the side Noah and Tsunade were sitting on, his brown eyes giving Ino a dreamy look. "Damn, now it's all hot in here. Makes me wanna act up." He chuckled out before pulling one hand down to caress my blonde friend's thigh which caused her to giggle. A smile spread across her pale face by his teasing action and she bit her lip, soon whispering something that must be kept from everyone else.

"Later, Ray."

My eyes averted from them to give them their moment. Besides them, I am more respectful when it comes to giving others privacy. I don't tend to pry.

But because we're family, I can let their ways slide.

So, I put up a smile and settled on grabbing my glass cup which was filled with red wine, a substance that my taste buds were itching to relish in. So slowly, I grabbed my cup which was positioned by my plate of food and I pulled it down to level it at my lips.

From there, I sipped my cup until I tasted the delicious flavor of wine which soothed my taste buds, dampening my throat.

I hummed in response, satisfied to say the least. And then afterwards, I put down my wine glass to start eating. I grabbed my fork and just stared down at the bunches of meatballs that were bundled up within my plate, completely covered in red sauce, sprinkled with spices and seasonings to make the taste of the dish much more impactful.

Beside it, laid a bowl of salad which was drenched in thick ranch sauce. The salad contained many vegetables to help balance out our meal and make our dinner more healthy. Such a sight before me was marvelous and so, I quickly went to eat.

Now, everyone was growing quieter because they were now caught up within their dishes, eating the food I cooked with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Naruto spared a glance at the people at the table, taking in the fact that everyone was now mute due to my cooking. He smirked in triumph. "Now that you all are done acting like children, heh." Naruto huffed, folding his hands over his empty plate. "What do you all say to Hinata for cooking this wonderful meal?" He asked with a definite nod, seeking for the family to give me recognition for cooking the food they were now filling their bellies with. The gesture from Naruto was so thoughtful, I couldn't help but coo. But his words were also heard from everyone at the table who instantly sent me their regards, their feelings of what they felt about the food.

Ino was the first to comment and she cheered in happiness, one hand of hers holding on tightly to her fork. "Thank you so much for cooking today, bestie! Your cooking is always great."

"Oh hell yeah. I'm definitely getting seconds." Ray chimed in with much enthusiasm which made me giggle.

Noah burst up with loads of energy, raising one hand up as if he was in class still. "Chef mommy, I want more too!"

Everyone at the table told me lots about how much they enjoyed the meatballs I cooked. Many of them wanted more which really showed me how much they truly loved the meal. Such a sight brought a happy smile to my lips. Inside my chest, my heart was leaping for joy because I felt so deeply loved and appreciated which felt so wonderful. It felt good to the soul.

So with that, I stood up to go fetch the pot of meatballs to serve my family more of them, my chair sliding back a bit. "Oh thank you, everyone. I'm so glad you enjoyed the food. I'll be right back with more." As soon as I said such words, all the adults in the room cheered, including Noah which made me laugh.

Afterwards, I left the room to instead enter inside the kitchen, blue eyes following me the entire time..

Naruto's P.O.V

Fuck, I just love that woman.

Keeping my eyes on my fiance as she scurried herself into the kitchen to grab the large pot of meatballs which was the dish that was mainly wanted, I couldn't help but give my lips a lick at the sexy sight of her.

For some odd reason, I just couldn't take my eyes off of her. Every glance I took, every look I gave, it seemed I couldn't get enough of her beauty. It seems everytime I look at her, I fall in love with her all over again.

Hinata's overall appearance was truly beguiling, her personality made it even more beautiful. If I could indulge my time with her every single day, I would.

And I wouldn't get tired of her.

That's, how tight the leash is which she has on me. I was so madly in love with Hinata Hyuga, anything she did either excited me or made me super happy.

Is that, normal?

To be so in love with someone you constantly think of them, constantly marvel and melt inside at the mere sight of them?

Is it weird that I would grow excited just watching Hinata sleep or eat? I threw my head down, pulling one hand up to grasp my blonde hair tightly so it could cause me pain. A sharp painful jolt ran straight through my body which instantly erased the crazy thoughts in my head.

Yes fucker, that's weird.

But the feeling I felt was just truly unexplainable. I've never felt it towards anyone before.

Not towards a family member.

Not towards a fling.

Not even towards my friends.

The love, the appreciation I felt towards Hinata was truly off the charts. And I had a good reason to feel that way too. The woman has stuck by my side through not only good times but bad times as well. She took the ugly as if it was pretty.

She endured hell just as I did and during the way, she made it her top mission to keep me sane. She tried her hardest to pull me from the darkness which was something that was committed to pulling me under.

The darkness came for me many times.

Sometimes it won. Sometimes it took over my soul and possessed me to do the unthinkable. It whispered it's sweet lies within my ears and from there, I was driven to do lots of things that now, I wouldn't dare do.

I want to turn my back on my past forever.

I can't even bear to think about it because I would feel immense guilt. Thinking about it, about what I've done, the pain I caused would only ruin my day. My mood would be ruined. A groan slipped from my lips, memories of the past forcefully rising to the surface, against my will.

In the past, I hurt so many people to benefit myself. I had sex with woman.

Numerous of them.

More than I can count or even remember.

I raped women, teenagers, naive girls that saw me as a pretty face that wouldn't dare hurt them. But, I did. I hurt them more than anyone else could have ever done and for that, I regret it all.

I regret the fact that I messed with the lives of my followers, my gang affiliates. I hate the fact that I used my power to control them to be just as bad as I was, to hurt the lives of innocent people. I was a sick fuck, corrupted by my traumatic past and my overall life choices. I was put into numerous situations where I had to survive on my own.

I had to fight to live.

I had to kill to survive.

And in the process, I grew emotionless to murder, gore and death. Screams of fear, agony and torment began to sound exciting to me.

I didn't care about anyone. Only about myself.

It was all a game to me. A means to win, to come out on top.

And I surely did so.

But when I met Hinata, everything was different.

She, was different.

Far different from all the other girls that I've encountered before. Never have I ever met someone holding so much empathy before; so much strength.

Even my own Mother didn't possess the positive qualities Hinata has.

Even though Hinata didn't know me at the time, she saw something within me, within my heart and saw right then and there that I could be saved. She fought regardless of how much bullshit I put her through and pulled my sick ass out of the darkness. She woke me up.

She saved me.

There was many times where she could've gave up on me and walked out of my life completely.

But she didn't.

She stuck by my side so I owe everything to her. Maybe, that is the root, the origin, the reason as to why I feel these intense emotions. Maybe that is why I absolutely love to talk to her, to listen to what she has to say. Her intelligence was captivating, making me yearn to learn more from her.

She is everything I wanted.

And truly, I'd say that her as well as my new family that bred positivity was enough. Everyone that loved me now, that has stuck by my side:

Hinata, Noah, Ray, Leo, Stefan, Ino, Kureani, Tsuande.

Even damn Eddie.

They all were a gift.

My early birthday gift.

Everything I have now, is a blessing and I won't ever have anyone take it from me.

"Naruto. Naruto! Damn, he's really out of it. Naruto!"

My body shook in surprise upon hearing Leo's voice from afar which was loud enough to break through my trance. The thoughts that previously ruled my head were now a distant memory as I slowly came back to my senses, returning to reality.

And upon taking my eyes away from the half drunken glass of wine in front of me, I looked up to see everyone staring back at me. Hinata was back with a pot of meatballs and was busy distributing them out to everyone with a huge spoon.

Scooping out a spoon full of meatballs, she placed them down on Stefan's plate, a sense of worry disturbing her mood.

She turned to me from where she stood and frowned. "What's wrong, babe?" What's on your mind?" She asked in concern, seeking for me to tell her what's bothering me. But, I looked around, glancing briefly at the many concerned filled eyes that stared back at me. The people who possess such eyes kept their yearning gaze on me, also wishing to know what kept me in a trance for so long. I gritted my teeth.

No, I can't tell Hinata now.

Telling her what's haunting my mind will only ruin the mood here.

And I don't want that.

Now isn't the time for one of our talks seeing everyone's here so to keep the peace, I lied.

Putting up a fake smile, I only wave my hand at her, trying to reassure her. "Oh don't worry, sexy. Everything's fine." I remarked while wiggling my eyebrows at her. By my seductive action, I managed to pull a blush on Hinata's cheeks and make everyone else laugh.

But Noah recoiled. "Yuck dad. S-Sexy, really?"

"Come on, Noah. I think you should take notes here. I, am the ultimate master at seduction."

"Ew dad no!"

Laughter flooded from the table after Noah's response of disgust which was honestly the cutest thing ever. It was certainly something everyone found humorous.

While letting out numerous chuckles, I pulled one hand over to roughly rub my son's blonde hair from where he sat beside me, directed to my left. In response, his soft, shaggy hair shook wildly within my hold, flapping side to side which caused my son's head to do the same.

"Dad!" He called out in embarrassment, his blue eyes shifting towards the many adults that sat laughing at him. Even Hinata was giggling a bit as she made her rounds around the table to give everyone seconds, another scoop of meatballs.

Now placing a spoon full of meatballs in Eddie's plate, she sent a reassuring smile over to her flustered son. "Oh Noah, it's okay. We're not laughing at you. We're laughing with you, sweetie." She replied back with a smile, my blue eyes watching her as she moved over to Tsuande to place more meatballs on her plate too.

I bit my lip briefly at the sight of my baby carrying out her task, my eyes taking in the smile she gave her stand in mom, my ears taking in the small conversation they had.

"Oh Hinata, you're getting so good at cooking. The meal you cooked today tastes amazing. I'm so proud of you."

"Oh, thank you, Tsunade. But I know you still surpass me. Your meals are unbeatable."

"Oh darling, you give me too much credit. You don't know it but your skills are actually very impressive. Your marvelous cooking skills are rivaling my own."

"Well then, to put our skills to the test we may just have to hold a cooking battle."

"Oh I would love that, sweetheart."

I chuckled to myself after hearing the entire conversation between Tsunade and Hinata which I found interesting.

But my attention was soon granted by Noah who commented quietly to Hinata's response from earlier.

"No, you all were laughing at me. I could feel it." The remark was done underneath his breath. It wasn't disrespectful so I made no moves to address him on it.

I let it slide.

So with that, I continued to watch Hinata as she made her way over to Noah with the silver pot in hand, the other holding the spoon covered in sauce to scoop up the meatballs inside the container to soon place on his glass plate which was empty.

Next, she ventured towards me and with that, I gave her a smile once she was near. She returned my smile with a beautiful one of her own and scooped up meatballs for myself with her spoon, soon placing the steaming meat on my plate. I nodded at her. "Thank you, Hinata." I voiced, showing her my gratitude. And upon that, everyone did too.

"Thank you, Hinata!"

Hinata, standing with the biggest smile on her face, smiled as she watched her family dig in once more to the dish she's made, everyone happily eating their share.

She giggled, nodding to show her appreciation. "You're welcome, everyone!"

-A Few Minutes Later-
Hinata's P.O.V

A few minutes passed and dinner time was officially over and now, everyone was teamed up to indulge in activities of their own choosing.

Tsuande and Eddie were busy cleaning up the kitchen. Noah and Naruto decided to use the rest of the day to play soccer outside. I decided to watch them so now, I sat with my two best friends on chairs positioned on the patio, my lavender eyes watching as they ran back and forth across the large yard while kicking at a soccer ball Naruto bought for Noah.

Ray, Leo and Stefan resumed watching the action movie they left off so all three of them were inside the house, along with Eddie and Tsuande.

But being outside felt so nice. The breeze ran through my pajamas in a way that made me calm and satisfied. Now with my belly full, it was great to lay back and indulge my time in what nature had to share. Kureani and Ino thought so too.

Both of them sat at the table I did, which held a large umbrella that stood up tall in the middle of the table which covered us whole, acting as a shade. The umbrella was useful when the weather was harsh, meaning if it was raining or if the sun was too bright. The umbrella was another feature that relaxed us. It was an item out on the patio I deeply enjoyed.

I smiled to myself as I watched my two sweethearts run and kick the soccer ball back and forth over to our left, away from the pool which was quite close to the patio, to us.

Naruto and Noah occupied the yard a few ways away from the pool, using the wide space there to kick the ball as they pleased. Two soccer goals were set up behind them which was an item Naruto also bought in order to help Noah practice more. And it certainly did the trick.

Because of the practices he's done with his dad and with his teammates at school, Noah's now very good at the sport he loves to play: Soccer.

Noah has gotten so good at the sport his handle on the soccer ball is very impressive and his passes are just as skilled. He has great endurance so he's able to take the ball down a large soccer field, dodging and running away from a huge crowd of players no problem without breaking a sweat. He was a great player and even better listener.

Now, I watched as Naruto stood in front of one of the soccer goals in which Noah was just about to kick his soccer ball towards. Standing in front of the ball now wearing a black shirt with a soccer image printed on the front of it, green shorts and black cleats, his body rocked back and forth in excitement. A large smile could be seen on boyish his face as he stood in front of the ball where it was settled in the freshly cut grass, just ready for Naruto to give him the signal to kick it.

Naruto, also wore an attire that was appropriate to exercise in. On his tan, heavily built body was a plain orange shirt with blue shorts, all bright orange shoes for his feet to match.

Kureani, Ino and I watched their practice in silence, deeply amused by it.

Suddenly, Naruto threw both of his hands up to wave them at Noah, which was a signal that he was just about to give Noah an order.

"Noah, show me a curl kick, bud!"

Noah's eyes lit up upon Naruto's order which was one that mentioned a technique that he knew very well. A curl kick was a specific kick where you influence the soccer ball to curl upon kickin it. It's a certain way you have to position your leg before kicking and Noah knows the technique well due to soccer practice and his father who also tends to educate himself on the sport. He does so in order to help Noah.

Like the good father he is.

And with that, Noah threw a thumbs up. "Okay dad!"

So with that, we watched as Noah took several steps back, to give himself some running room to kick the ball that he once stood in front of.

Underneath the sky which was painted in all different colors due to the sun setting, the young boy that I love so dearly moved his body so he was in a comfortable position to kick the ball in front of him.

His blue eyes were concentrated, narrowed and serious. Whipping his head up, he turned his attention onto his father from afar. He clenched his fists, sending a nod his way "Alright dad. Here I come!" He shouted which signaled for Naruto to get ready for Noah's curl kick.

Rolling his shoulders forward a bit, pulling his hands out to position them directly in front of him, Naruto was ready to potentially catch the ball Noah was about to kick.

And he didn't have to wait long because soon the blonde boy could be seen running full speed forward only to swing his foot in a curve motion, kicking the ball dead on which sent the ball flying.

Because of the form Noah had before kicking, he managed to have the ball fly in a curl, straight towards the goal where Naruto stood.

My mouth dropped slightly to see the precision in Noah's kick, the soccer ball flying through the air at high speeds. It was certainly a sight to see and I couldn't be more proud. I cheered, in response.

"Whoo! Go Noah!"

"Great kick, buddy!"

"Yas! Go, go!"

Once I began to cheer, Kureani and Ino did too, so now we both resembled a bunch of cheerleaders on the sidelines, cheering Noah on who jumped up and down in his spot in glee.

Continuously, the ball soared towards the goal and Naruto shot his body towards it. To get the ball from hitting the net, Naruto launched his body towards the left to catch it. But, Noah's ball was just too quick for him and so, he missed it.

Falling on the grass floor with a thud, the ball flew past the fallen Naruto and hit the net with a low whoosh which further made Noah happy.

"Yay! I did it!" The blonde boy switched his head towards my direction and smiled, the biggest and childish smile ever. "Mom, did you see me? Did you see my kick?" He asked in excitement, seeking for my answer in a frenzy which made me giggle.

I nodded, also giving him a thumbs up. "Yes Noah, I did. Great work, sweetheart!" I announced with a toothy grin and with much enthusiasm in my voice. I was proud of my son. I was proud that he was able to just be a kid despite what we've been through.

Despite his father's past.

Seeing Noah so happy now, running and kicking the ball with his father was such a glorious sight, it brought tears to my eyes.

I've always wanted this for Noah.

Things could've gone differently. One wrong move in the past, could've messed everything up.

But no. Everything has worked out perfectly. My kindness, my selfless effort has been repaid.

Everything that's happening now, is a dream come true.

I sniffed lightly to myself which managed to get the attention of the two women that sat beside me, their eyes glancing over at my huddling form.

With my arms crossed on the round table I sat against, I held my head lowered which allowed a few loose strands to fall from my messy bun. The expression that overtook my face was a strained one, full of emotion which worried Kureani.

She frowned and moved two of her fingers over to lightly pinch at my arm, just enough to get my attention. Upon feeling the slight tug at my skin, I snapped my head up to stare back at my two frowning friends.

Kurenai tilted her head, nothing but a black robe fitting her body, tightly closed in the middle. She pulled her elbow down so it could rest on the table and from there she used it as a headrest. She kept her eyes on me the entire time however. "Hinata darling, what's wrong? Why the long face?" She asked in concern, clearly bothered. Ino was too for she nodded as well.

"Yeah, Hinata. Why do you look so sad? Are you stressed? Did something happen at the hospital? Or here?" She lowered her head briefly, her fingers tapping at the table before her. "Is it Narut-"

"N-No, no!" A loud outburst shot from my lips at the sound of Ino pinning my emotional moment on my fiance. Just hearing the fact that she thinks he could potentially still be a problem hurts me so bad. My heart as a result weighed heavily within my chest upon hearing such words come from my best friend's mouth.

Naruto's been good and yearns to always be.

Kureani's eyes widened upon my sudden outburst but then turned to shoot a glare at Ino who threw her hands up in defense. "Hey, hey, I'm sorry. I was just asking. There's nothing wrong with asking." She retorted back while Kureani only rolled her eyes in relation.

"Oh yeah? Now why did you expect it was Naruto, huh? The guy has redeemed himself. Hell, I look at him totally differently now and that's saying something." The middle aged woman shook her head, pulling one hand up to run it through her curly black hair which fell over her shoulders. Such a hairstyle truly enhanced her beauty. "I fucking hated the old him so fucking much. But the new him..." Kureani cut her words off to shift her eyes over to the blonde man that was slowly getting up to his feet from the grass floor with the help of his son who was laughing at him all the while.

Naruto also laughed while giving his clothes a pat to work the dirt off of them.

"Damn Noah, your kick was amazing. It literally knocked me off of my feet."

"Haha! That's funny dad! You just can't keep up which means you're getting old!"

"Wait, what did you say?"

"See you're losing your hearing! You're definitely getting old!"

"Noah, stop calling me old. I'm not old. Do you see these muscles? Do you see a single wrinkle on my face?"

"Noo.."

"So I'm not old. Ya know, you're not showing good manners, Noah. You should never tell an adult they're old. Even if they are."

"Oh okay. Well I won't tell you you're old then. Even when you do have wrinkles."

"Noah!"

I watched a smile come on Kureani's face from the amusing conversation between Naruto and Noah before she turned her attention back to us, to carry on from where she left off.

She giggled softly. "The new Naruto is different. He's actually being a father to Noah. He's kind to everyone. He's kind to you, Hinata. He loves you, and you can really tell by the way he looks at you. You're his entire world. It's a look I have never seen him express before. All the times I hung at his club, witnessed the many sex shows he put on with many women I have never seen him show such positive emotions to someone like he does to you." In the middle of her words, Kureani pulled one hand over to place on Ino's shoulder and then she put one on my hand which made the both of us smile. She looked at us, from Ino to me to also give me a smile of reassurance, of assertiveness. "He's changed, girls, all because of you, Hinata." She announced gaily while keeping her positive smile which made me also smile.

Within my seat, I surely thought I melted because every part of my body felt extremely hot and my heart felt super jittery. I felt extremely happy that Kurenai has finally changed the way she sees Naruto. I am glad she's finally giving him a second chance. Hearing such a thing from her, the woman that hated Naruto for years, loathed him and everything he did. The same woman that was hurt by him due to his actions of brainwashing her boyfriend to think and act like a monster has finally let go of her hatred and has finally forgiven Naruto.

Naruto has finally earned Kureani's forgiveness.

It's been a long time which was totally understandable but now hearing such a thing was enough to bring more tears to my eyes. I whimpered softly, pulling one hand up to cover my mouth from view, to help contain my emotions. I pulled my other hand up to grab Kureani's hand, gripping it tight. "Oh thank you, Kureani. Naruto has always wanted to be forgiven. He's always wanted a redo, with all of us. He is ashamed of his past and wishes he could erase it. His past hurts him. That is why, he is working his butt off to redeem himself, to show everyone that he is a different man. And I am so glad you both have finally accepted him. He only wants your love and acceptance, that's all. He only wants a family. Nothing else." I sobbed out, my voice cracking through my words because the emotion I was feeling was growing too strong. I was overjoyed, filled with relief for Naruto, relief that things are finally changing.

Our life is finally a one that is normal. One that is without pain and heartbreak.

It is now one that is innocent and kind. No longer are we surrounded and hurt by Naruto's past which was filled with crime, death and darkness.

No.

We are all free from that. And I couldn't be more happy.

We did it. We actually did it.

Naruto, did it.

I sniffed and whimpered to myself as I sat within my thoughts, Kurenai steadily rubbing my hand for comfort. She tilted her head, keeping the loving smile on her face. "I'm glad that you're finally happy, Hinata. You deserve it. After everything you have been through, from the beginning to the end, you deserve to feel peace and happiness. So I am glad everything has worked out in your favor." She finished off and with that, she gave my hand an extra rub before moving away.

She also gave Ino a pat on her shoulder before pulling her hands down to work her body upward, so she was standing. As she rose from her sitting position, her chair moved back in response which granted our attention.

With teary, glossy eyes, I pulled them up to now see Kurenai standing. Ino furrowed her brows. "Wait, where are you going, Kureani?" She asked with a tilt of her head, clearly expressing confusion. My face scrunched up slightly from the same emotion but I remained quiet.

Kureani, now standing, pulled her hands up to place them gently down onto her robe, giving the fabric a small rub. She bit her bottom lip nervously. "Well, I promised Stefan that I was going to head to bed early and um.."

Ino's eyes widened and she whipped her head around which caused her long bang to briefly sway, revealing her right eye. "What, You and Stefan actually have sex now! Since when?"

"Shh! Noah can hear you and that's none of your business, Ino. We actually know how to contain our voices despite you two." She spat teasingly which instantly made the both of us blush flaming red, silencing our debate. I glanced away from the smirking woman and blew out a deep breath which worked my midnight blue bangs upward. "That's easier said than done." I muttered underneath my breath but I was of course heard and Kureani rolled her eyes.

She even laughed. "Oh Hinata. You're cute but seriously, I gotta go. We'll gossip about this later." She giggled out before moving to deliver a kiss to both of our heads to officially end the conversation and even grant us a good night. She pulled her head down to kiss Ino first which was an action that resembled an elder sister. Lightly, she pressed her lips on the side of Ino's blonde hair, pecking it before rounding the table to make it to me.

She wrapped an arm around me once she was close and pulled me in, hugging me as she delivered a kiss to the side of my head also. "Mm, goodnight, you two." She whispered before pulling her arm and body away from my sitting form to head towards the patio door, to enter back inside the house. But she didn't leave before glancing back over at Noah and Naruto who were continuously playing soccer, kicking the ball back and forth. By now the sun had set and the sky was filled with stars and darkness which made the two a little hard to make out from afar.

No longer was it a great time to play any sports but it didn't stop them. They continued, only until the two grew too exhuasted do they usually stop and come inside.

I watched with a thin smile as Kureani left us to go inside the house, leaving us outside.

Ino smiled. She too watched as the black haired woman left us, the patio door opening and closing shut behind her. But after Kureani was gone, she then turned to me with a question in mind. "Say Hinata, you know Naruto's birthday is coming up, do you even know what gift to give him, or what we should do to celebrate?" She asked with uncertainty in her voice which revealed that she obviously did not know the answer to the questions she asked of me.

And neither do I.

My mouth opened and closed for a brief second for I was heavily relying on my brain to come up with a decent answer to tell Ino. But like the weeks before today when I did nothing but fail miserably at coming up with a plan, now I also couldn't come up with anything to celebrate Naruto's birthday.

So, I shrugged nervously. "I-I honestly don't know and I am so ashamed that I can't figure out what to do for Naruto's birthday. It's a special day for him and I want to make him feel special. It's the least we can do to thank him for all that he's done, ya know." I responded back with a sigh, completely guilt-ridden that I could not come up with a decent idea for my fiance for his birthday.

Naruto always surprises me with wonderful presents and gifts all the time, on days that aren't even my birthday.

Now it's my turn to surprise him with a gift and I can't even think of a single thing which saddens me. It makes me feel guilty. But on the flip side, I want to actually do something for his birthday that is out of the ordinary, that is something that Naruto wouldn't expect.

I want to blow his mind.

The surprise I have to come up with has to be one of a kind and it has to be perfect.

I only have one chance to do this.

And Friday is approaching fast already and I still haven't thought of anything. I let out a gruff groan, my head falling into my awaiting hands. "Ugh, I'm totally not stressing about this, Ino." I muttered out sarcastically which earned me a slight giggle from Ino. She pulled one hand up and gave it a shake, her long hair moving as well from her gesture.

Unlike me, Ino actually wore an attire that was more presentable. She wore a green tank top with a white skirt, white flats to match. Ino looked absolutely adorable. It seems even as she grows older, she just gets more and more beautiful.

I am literally so glad she's still in my life.

Ino blew a raspberry, dismissing the negative emotions that haunted me. "Oh Hinata, don't stress out about this. Whatever you plan for Naruto, I'm sure he'll be happy with the result. Like Kureani said, he loves you and won't judge you at all. So whatever you end up choosing, it will be the right choice, I just know it." She admitted with a cheeky smile, placing both of her hands on the side of her waist and confidently pushing her chest outward. By her amusing pose, it actually made me laugh.

I peeked through the openings of my fingers as they sat plastered on my face from just moments ago from using them to palm my face in frustration. But her words reassured me to relax but I was still stumped on what to do, what decision I should make.

I have to think about this. I have to come up with something fast-

But my thoughts were interrupted when Ino suddenly gasped before moving to tap the table before me rapidly which immediately got my attention. I dropped my hands to stare back at her with surprised filled eyes, my lavender eyes widened severely. I spared her tapping finger a glance and pulled my shoulders up to shrug. "What? What, is it Ino?"

She cheered, excitement clearly shown on her face. She pulled her finger up to point it at me. "Ooh, I got it. Since you're at odds upon what to do for Naruto's birthday, what if you just ask his buddies? They'll probably know what to do."

My eyes lit up. "Ask... Ray, Stefan, Eddie and Leo?" I commented back, really loving the idea.

Gosh! I hadn't even thought of asking Naruto's friends.

They know him just as much as I do about Naruto, so they should definitely have a lot of ideas in store to give me.

Ino's face brightened up at the sight of the happiness shown on mine, both of our worlds lightened up. "Yep! You should definitely ask them first thing tomorrow. And then once you do, be sure to tell me afterwards. I really wanna know what you all plan." She acknowledged with a nod which I nodded straight back.

"Of course, Ino! Thank you so much." I responded back while dancing within my seat. I was so glad that I now have some sort of plan.

I can finally get this show on the road.

"You're welcome, bestie. But-" A yawn cut Ino's words short, one hand of hers moving up to cover her gaping mouth. I giggled upon the display of exhaustion from my best friend who afterwards let out a groan from the sudden yawn she experienced.

She blinked away the dampness in her eyes, even moving to wipe some away. "Wow. That was so random. Well, I guess I'm gonna head in. You should round up your boys too. It's pretty late." She stated cautiously while nodding her head over to the two boys from afar who were awfully quiet now. I turned to spare Naruto and Noah a glance through the darkness of the night only to see the two exhausted males now lying on the grass, side by side while panting heavily.

Both seemed pretty tired after all the exercising they've done. Such a display before me made my heart flutter. It was truly adorable to see.

But the sight made Ino giggle. "Yeah, you might wanna handle that, Hinata. I'll be inside if you need me." She said to tie the entire conversation together and end it. And to respond back, I gave her a nod of appreciation, deeply taking to her words.

"Thank you, Ino. I will let you know if I do."

"Okay. I'm counting on you, Hinata." She said playfully before also standing up from her chair to only slide it back to the table. She also slid back Kureani's so everything was nice and neat again, just like everything first was before we chose to sit here today. I, rose from my seat too but to call my two sweethearts so both can take a shower and finally get into bed.

I hummed, sliding my chair back forward.

Wow, the bed sounds so nice right about now.

So with that, I waved good-bye to Ino because I know this will also be the last time I see her tonight. Once we get around our significant others, we don't hear from each other the rest of the night and only the morning right before work.

So afterwards, Ino left and I decided to hang back to get Noah and Naruto's attention. And how I did it, I settled on throwing one hand up and waving it, posting one hand by my mouth. "Noah! Naruto! It's time for bed!" I yelled out towards them, my eyes zeroed in on the two males who were lying quite peacefully in the green grass underneath the shiny stars.

But by my sudden voice, they both jumped up only to look my way. And before I knew it, I was walking inside the house while two hands gripped mine. And even though the two limbs held mine differed in size, they both granted my body a warmth that I couldn't put into words.

It was a warmth of love; A warmth of positivity.

A warmth, of happiness.

-Later-
9:00 PM

An hour had passed from spending our time outside and with that time, Noah and Naruto settled on taking a shower to clean up. They were both incredibly sweaty and dirty from indulging in soccer activities outside so it was incredibly important that they washed up for tomorrow.

Afterwards, Naruto settled on tucking Noah in his bed within his room. It was nine at night and it was certainly important for our son to be in bed since he has school in the morning. He also has soccer practice later on in the day so he needs all the rest he can get.

But while Naruto tended to Noah, I decided to take a shower of my own. I was pretty dirty myself so it was nice to stand in the water and clean. Also, I could use the silence to plan more on Naruto's birthday coming up, Friday.

But just like before, I did not come up with an idea that was awe inspiring enough so I stopped thinking about it altogether. Soon, I walked out of the bathroom now cleaned and refreshed. Holding nothing but a towel around me, I scurried off to my room to hurriedly enter inside it.

Everything and everyone was quiet within the house which signaled that most people were probably already sleeping.

So I entered my room in no time, holding the clean white towel around my body tightly which covered everything but my legs and shoulders, my free hand slowly closing my bedroom door behind me.

Now, I was welcomed to a large, clean room which was dimmed, only a floor lamp on to give the room a bit of light. But only, a bit. Steadily playing on the Tv was a crime movie, which had cops and guns involved. I turned my head towards the massive bed within the room and smiled to see my fiance lying on top of it.

Sprawled out on the bed with nothing but red boxers on, his blue eyes shifted towards me and instantly he disregarded the content on the TV as if it hadn't been interesting at all.

He smiled, keeping his dark blue eyes held on me which gave off a very sexy effect. "Hello gorgeous. How was your shower?" He asked deeply, his voice reaching my ears with no problem.

I sent a pleasant smile towards my sexy lover and moved my body over towards my dresser to pick something out to wear to bed.

As I did so, Naruto moved his body over to grab the remote from the night stand that was positioned beside him. With the device, he pulled it up to turn the TV off, shutting off the movie he was watching.

"It was nice, Naruto. Very relaxing and quiet." I commented happily which caused Naruto to chuckle. "Ahh, that's good to hear." He replied back while placing the remote back down on the nightstand, riding it from his hands. And from there, he moved to hop off of the bed. I turned to him in response, one hand of mine still holding on to my towel which was the only thing covering my naked body from the world and of course, Naruto's eyes.

He walked up to me to only hug me from behind, pulling his arms around my covered waist. I hummed upon the pleasant feeling of having his warmth smother me. It felt so nice.

I bit my lip briefly, "So um, how did you shower, Naruto?" I questioned back because I was quite curious about how he felt during his own shower. But he only shook his head, moving his lips to kiss my cheek which made me giggle. His lips were so soft, his kiss gentle. His overall touch tickled my skin so I couldn't help but react.

He chuckled at my response to his romantic action. "The time I took my shower was lonely, Hinata." He pulled down his lips so he hovered them over my right ear. He moaned in it before carrying on with his words. "You, weren't there, baby." He whispered sexily, tantalizing and baiting me with his seductive words and his pleasant touches.

I blushed upon the signal Naruto was giving me which I knew all too well.

He wanted my attention tonight.

I bit harder down on my lip and briefly glanced back at the tall, blonde man behind me which held my body close to his. I pulled one hand up to caress his cheek and I watched as he leaned into it. I could have sworn I felt my insides melt at such an adorable sight.

"Oh Naruto, maybe next time, I could be there. I, could be there to..." I whipped my body around abruptly which surprised Naruto. He gasped slightly but a groan slipped from his lips once he caught sight of my appearance. My hair was still a little damp which caused my hair strands to look crinkled. My shoulders were bare and I only stood within a towel which could easily be removed by just a yank.

A soft moan spilled from my lips as well and I pulled one hand up to run it against Naruto's toned chest, marveling at all the hard earned muscles I felt against my soft skin.

Rough and bumpy, my hand slid across his chiseled-tan skin seductively for I was also playing along with Naruto's game. I was no longer afraid to bring out my sexy side. Just as Naruto wanted to seduce and flatter me, I also wanted to do the same.

And it was working because the male was shuddering like crazy by my touch. I moaned once more. "If I was there, I would have cleaned every inch of your sexy body, Naruto. I could have rubbed your skin as I do now."

"Mm, fuck yes." He whispered softly in bliss, deeply liking the feel of my touch. "I would've enjoyed that very much." He also added which made a satisfied smile come upon my face.

Ooh, he likes it does he?

My confidence skyrocketed because of that. So, I continued and even took it a step further with my naughty play.

I bit my lip as I began to carry my hand downward, passed his rock-hard abs and passed his visible v-line to what was covered at the moment.

His member.

Poking against his boxers, fully erect was Naruto's member which was just itching to be free and showered with attention. And just like always, I was ready to give my all.

For Naruto.

But first, I wanted to tease him. I wanted to hear more of his moans first.

So bravely, I pulled my free hand down to give his crotch a gentle squeeze through his boxers which jolted his entire body forward. With my ears, I could hear his breath hitch in surprise and quickly I felt his hand grab a hold of mine. His member was extremely hard and upon touching it, I could feel it twitch against my hand.

Naruto groaned, falling forward only to place his free hand on the dresser behind me. Now, our bodies were touching, pressing extra close to the other. Naruto's face was just inches away from mine and with that I sent a sly smile up at him.

He panted, opening his eyes to reveal the intensity in them and the overflowing amount of lust. Nothing but lust could be seen within his darkened eyes which made me hum. "Mm, you like-?" But I couldn't finish my words before my lips were taken up into a deep kiss, one large arm moving to wrap around my neck. From there, I was taken roughly forward, away from the dresser, the arm wrapped around my neck influencing me to follow Naruto's commands.

Eyes closed from the blissful kiss Naruto was giving me, I was oblivious as to where he was taking me, his body steadily walking backward. His hold on me was tight and rough, his strong arm locked around my neck while he back stepped to take me to a location only he knew, somewhere I can only guess.

Our bed.

Naruto pecked at my lips with his teeth to distract me, soon after diving his tongue forward in a frenzy through my parted lips to lap at my own tongue. I moaned shakily within his hold as I could feel my body start to grow hot, super hot. I was practically trembling within my fiance's hold, every part of my body overtaken by lust which made it hard to think, to do anything. All my attention was on the man in front of me for he was definitely blowing my mind.

As usual.

I could never get used to it.

I let out a moan of bliss, continuously standing with my eyes closed. Naruto's arm was wrapped around my neck to keep my body still, right in the position he wanted.

And once, he was done showering my lips with attention, once he thought I had enough, he pulled his lips away from mine; ending the kiss. Now, eyes opening to reveal how hooded and murky they were, I was taken by serious surprise when my body was whipped around so my back was facing the direction where our king-sized bed was located.

But in that moment, the change of my position wasn't all that happened. The towel that was still wrapped around me, tied tightly to my body was yanked off roughly and thrown away to land in an unknown source.

Naruto's eyes were a dark blue now, filled with lust and a want to dominate, the arm he used to hold me slipping away so his other hand could push me back harshly. I yelped out in surprise as my body raced backward by Naruto's strong push, landing directly onto a fluffy surface which dipped down upon feeling my weight come in contact with it.

My body now was completely bare as I laid in the middle of our bed where the sheets were slightly wrinkled and disheveled but we didn't care. Naruto and I were ready to indulge in another night of pleasure and since our sweet son was sound asleep, we were able to do so.

I bit my lip as I stared up at my sexy lover who was beginning to crawl his way onto the bed for me, his eyes dark and mysterious. His muscles flexed and bucked as he grabbed a hold of the surface of the bed and crawled his way on to it. I watched as he pulled his tongue out of his mouth to lick at his dry lips which was a gesture to show that he saw me, lying before him completely naked, as a delicious meal. A meal that was only for him.

Exclusively for him.

And of course, vice versa.

He groaned as he continued to crawl forward, his heavy body weighing down the bed which caused it to dip once more. My breath hitched upon feeling that. Naruto moaned upon hearing such a sound escape my lips. "Mmm, I can't wait to be inside you, Hinata. These are the moments that I wish for, that I long for. You and I, alone, here in our bed making love until the sun comes up." He purred out as he crept his body over mine, placing both of his hands beside my head, pinning my smaller body to the bed with his much larger one.

His blonde hair fell and tickled my cheeks and nose which made me giggle, my head turning up so I could show him all the happiness that was revealed in my lavender eyes at the moment.

One, soft hand of mine pulled up and I used it to cup the side of his cheek, my thumb setting out to caress his jaw line. He purred upon the pleasant feeling he felt from my touch and began to give my bare crotch a hump with his mighty hips.

His hips rolled deliciously against mine, driving his covered cock against my wet lower area which begged to be touched, to be played with.

And of course, since Naruto was able to read my mind, was able to read the language of my body perfectly; he was able to decipher my hidden desires. His eyes narrowed playfully upon the look of desire in my eyes and so he went to pull his fingers down to give my pussy a touch, his rough fingers connecting with my opening which he rubbed gently. I shuddered from the action, my legs trembling from where they were spread.

Naruto let out an amused chuckle as he continued to tease and manipulate my pussy in a way that I liked, diving one of his thick fingers into my opening to finger my inner walls.

I whined upon that which granted Naruto's attention, his head whipping back to look at my reddened cheeks and the bliss held in my eyes. He chuckled again. "You're so fucking wet, Hinata. What, what is it, baby? Were you thinking of getting fucked this entire time? Were you thinking of having your pussy fondled? Heh, ya know..." He pulled his head down so his lips plastered themselves beside my right ear. He groaned into it which managed to make my body squirm, soon after his mouth opened to carry on with his dirty talk.

"All you had to do was ask. I'll be more than happy to rock your body just the way you like."

"Ooh, Naruto. Please." I whispered, responding to his sexy words which made my pussy even wetter, my love juices seeping out of my opening which Naruto was only gently fingering. He was teasing me. Normally, he never fingers me as gently as he does now. He's very experienced in foreplay so he always has me cumming within seconds. And of course, he knows my body like the back of his hand.

He knew the right spots to press to have me writhing in pleasure all night long. He knew just what to do to have me submit to his hand, to his dick every single time and there's not a moment where I don't show him my appreciation, my gratitude for making me feel like the happiest woman alive.

I felt glorious with him on top of me, pleasuring me like his life depended on it. He knew what made me happy and not once did he hesitate to make me so.

Naruto chuckled against my ear at my pleads, moving his lips to give my ear lobe a kiss. "Please what, Hinata? I could easily read your mind but heh, what's the fun in that? I want to hear you moan your desire for me, to tell me as my woman how you want tonight to go." He paused in his words for a thought suddenly came to his mind, his head whipping away from my ear so I could see the broad smile that was now on his face. My chest heaved upon seeing it for it exuded nothing but mischief which made me even more excited.

Naruto grinned and instead moved his body so he was rooted on the side of my lying form on the bed, his pace down below suddenly quickening.

From there, he used one hand of his to work back to cradle my neck which he also pulled forward so my face was close to his, and with his other hand he chose to add another finger inside of me which stretched my pussy walls deliciously.

"Maybe this'll do it." I heard him whisper.

Instantly a strong jolt of pleasure racked my body but that joyous feeling increased when Naruto began to work his fingers back and forth against me vigorously which caused his palm to slap against my pussy every single time, the squelching sound of my love juices inside of me growing in volume.

My legs shook tremendously upon the sudden change of pace, my eyes rolling and my mouth falling open to allow many squeals of pleasure to escape.

"Oh kami! O-Oh Naruto, I'm gonna cum!"

"Already? You wanted this shit that bad, huh?"

"Yes! Please don't stop, Naruto! Please!"

"Oh, I wasn't counting on it! Cum baby. Cum all over my fingers."

Naruto's dirty talk was always uncensored. He was not afraid to say the forbidden. He said anything that could invoke a reaction out of me and could grant my body pleasure. His words were also another factor to work me over, to make me wet and excited.

I secretly liked when he talked dirty to me. It made me feel so naughty and yet so good.

I moaned my tail off, whimpering and spasming in Naruto's hold as he continued his aggressive fingering. His digits seemed like they hit everything inside of me at once, striking my inner walls, my g-spot with enough force that had my breath hitching over and over.

The smacking of his palm against my trembling lower area was loud and filled the entire room but we didn't care.

I, didn't care.

I was just seconds away from cumming and I was enjoying the entire ride.

Subconsciously, I threw up my hand to grab ahold of Naruto's arm, the one that cradled my neck, leveling my body up a bit so he was able to finger the right spots inside of me from below, spots that blurred my vision once touched.

Naruto grinned against my lips as he took in how glossy and unreadable my eyes were. He found amusement in my expression. "Mmm, tell me what you want, Hinata. Tell me."

"I-I want you t-to make love to me, babe. I want you to touch my b-b-body more." I whispered out bravely because I knew what he wanted to hear. Just as Naruto knew my desires, I knew his and he liked when I voiced out my desires, the things I wanted him to do to my body.

He chuckled amusingly. "Now that's my good girl." And as a reward, he settled on making me cum on the spot, curving his fingers inside of my damp and hot cavern to rub a certain spot, a sensitive one deep inside of my pussy which made the flood gates inside of me burst wide open.

Every part of my body tingled from the overwhelming feelings of pleasure to the point I could no longer talk. My words were lost within my throat for all I could do was moan and scream.

"I'm cumming! I'm cumming!"

"Fuck yeah, baby. That's it." Naruto whispered before yanking his fingers out of my twitching opening to rub my clit as I released my fluids. Fast and swift his hand went as he steadily attacked my sensitive clit over and over as I squirted my essence, nothing but my love juices pouring out of me and onto the bed below us.

I groaned, my chest rising from the overwhelming pleasure I felt. The cord inside of me had long snapped and now I was left with a very sensitive pussy, my body spasming from the after shock climaxing left me with.

But Naruto wasn't done with me. As usual, we would kick off our sex night with a bit of foreplay and then afterwards, we would get into the real deal. So now, Naruto was just about to start round one.

Finally, Naruto's fingers stopped their fondling and he gently set my head back down onto the bed sheets once more, allowing me to fully lay upon them.

I watched him with hooded eyes as he gave me an amused filled grin before sliding off of the bed to remove his boxers.

My eyes sat plastered on him as he stared back at me, his fingers falling down to pull his boxers off to uncover his mighty friend which was another part of him that I loved very much.

Naruto's smirk widened once he saw my eyes light up at the sight of his dick reveal to me, flying out of its confines.

His boxers fell down to his legs and from there he stepped out of them to instead round the bed. He glanced back at me, chuckling to see that I was tracking him. "Did you enjoy yourself, Hinata?" He asked while venturing his now naked body towards the night stand positioned by our bed, the one that he placed the Tv remote on earlier.

Bending down slightly, he pulled the little drawer open in which our nightstand possessed to grab something out of it which was of great importance.

A condom.

To protect ourselves from potentially creating another child, Naruto made sure to always use protection during sex. He hated it with a passion but he was willing to do anything to make me happy so he sacrificed his feelings and used a condom during sex.

I smiled, deciding to move my body up a little so I was instead lying on the bundles of pillows near the head board of the bed. And afterwards, I sought to respond to Naruto's earlier question. "Yes, I did enjoy myself, Naruto. But I'm always ready for more." I seductively moaned out, once more revealing my sexy side which was a side that made the blonde male even more excited.

He whipped his head over at me and chuckled, his fingers ripping apart the golden paper where his large-sized condom was found inside. He placed the shredded paper back into the drawer once he managed to get what he needed and then he closed it back with his free hand.

"You know you're fucking sexy, right?" He commented with a laugh which also made me giggle. I bit my lip gently but gave him a playful shrug. "Well, I can be anything you want me to be, Naruto. I'm yours and I will always be yours."

"Shit Hinata. That's hot as fuck. Keep talking like that and I promise I'll keep you up tonight."

"Mmm, is that so?"

"Oh that's very so, babe. I'll fuck you until you lose feeling in your legs and your cute little toes. I'll fuck you until you're unable to walk."

My body shuddered upon Naruto's deep and husky voice which promised me things I know he is more than capable of doing.

I've felt it before.

The numbing of my limbs after a long sex session. After being fucked repeatedly.

I swallowed nervously. It was pretty enjoyable but I can't afford to endure such a thing tonight.

I have to work tomorrow.

So, I turned my head towards Naruto and watched as he slowly pulled the clear condom onto his dick, sliding it down to his base so it covered all nine inches of him. I squirmed once he pulled his intense gaze on me with an intent on doing as I previously pleaded.

To make love to me.

He walked around the bed to hop on it. Now this time, he wasted no time and slid his body over to where I was positioned to attack my neck with his lips.

I instantly moaned upon feeling his hot and damp lips attack my neck needingly, my arms and legs wrapping around his crouched body in response. I groaned, moving my fingers up into his hair, gripping his blonde strands tightly. "Naruto, I c-can't-"

"Fuck, I toally forgot about your job, babe." He whispered out. "Well then, I won't get too carried away. I'll do just enough. We can have more fun another time." He finished his words before pulling his hand down to grasp his condom covered cock and with it, he didn't wait to enter it inside of me.

Nothing but intense fullness was granted to me once Naruto shoved his member inside of my twitching hole. I moaned loudly upon that and subconsciously my grip tightened on his blonde hair.

"Oh yes. Thank you, Naruto." I whispered in his ear which he shuddered to. But he nodded, placing his hands on either side of my head to steady himself over top of me.

He smirked, moving down to peck my lips. "Oh, don't thank me just yet." And with that he proceeded on thrusting his hips back and forth which caused his dick to move inside of me. His thick member felt even better than his two fingers from earlier so it didn't take me long to reach my climax again.

I mewled in joy underneath my sexy lover as he thrusted away at my core, striking my insides with an even stronger force which caused me to feel a considerable amount of pleasure.

From Naruto's frequent movement against me, the bed rocked back and forth, creaking and squeaking but we ignored that particular detail. We were enjoying ourselves once again tonight. We were enjoying ourselves in each other's arms.

Nothing else mattered at the moment but Naruto and I. And so, we spent half of our night moaning and groaning in pleasure while speaking steamy words, of love.

"I love you, Hinata."

"I love you too, Naruto."

-The Next Day-

Bright and early, I arose to the sound of my alarm clock which steadily rang it's annoying little tune throughout the quiet, morning air.

Lying completely bare next to my snoring fiance, my body jolted upward and I opened my eyes with a yawn.

Great. Time for work.

Certiantly, I was not in the mood to go anywhere, not after the wondrous night I had. Being beside my fiance felt so joyous, I didn't want to leave his side.

I pouted, now sitting up on my bed which squeaked due to my movement. I glanced over at the blonde male briefly who laid partially on my side of the bed, his body turned to lie on his right arm. His face was directed towards my direction so I could clearly see that he was still sleeping, mouth open and eyes closed.

He looks so adorable. So peaceful.

I couldn't help but giggle at him. But I made no moves to wake him.

Not yet anyway.

Instead, I moved to turn off the blaring alarm clock that was steadily ringing loudly throughout the room. But since I've clearly worn Naruto out, he seemed too exhausted to even hear the boisterous sound the alarm clock let off into the room.

So, I settled on reaching one hand over to the night stand positioned on my side of the bed, my other hand holding the blankets close to my naked body, covering it from view. I was also covering myself because it was quite cold in the room I was in. Being underneath the blankets was enough to warm me up.

So tapping the right button needed to turn off the alarm clock, I finally silenced it so now I was left with a room that was once again quiet. I sighed upon that, pulling my body back over so I was no longer reaching but instead simply sitting within my spot on my bed.

Masculine snores flooded the room from Naruto as he laid beside me, completely worn out. The soft sounds he was making within his sleep was more than enough to get my attention and from there, I turned back to him.

A large smile slid across my lips and with that, I reached one hand over to lightly nudge his body, watching as it shook slightly because of my action.

"Hey Naruto. Wake up, honey." No response.

I shook Naruto again, lightly pressing my fingers on his bare shoulder to shake him to hopefully wake him up. It took a couple of shakes to bring the male back to reality.

I watched with a small smile as Naruto finally began to stir awake, groaning a bit. With one hand, he pulled it up to run it through his blonde hair just as he slowly opened his blue eyes. He landed those beautiful orbs directly on me and instantly, his face lit up brightly.

He grinned, a lazy grin, "Good morning, baby. How are you feeling?" He whispered out softly, pulling one hand over to grab my thigh, massing it through the blankets which I currently used to cover my naked body. We both were naked at the moment due to the sexual activities we entertained ourselves with last night. And because we did such things, we are now content.

I smiled, biting my lip. Memories of last night were constantly flashing within my head which made me tingle all over. "I feel great, Naruto. All thanks to you." I announced with a hum, moving one hand down to ruffle it through his blonde hair. Naruto chuckled in response. "Mmm, sounds like music to my ears, sweetheart. I feel just the same." Naruto commented with a slight moan. I watched with delighted eyes as the sexy man before me pushed himself up so he was no longer lying down but sitting up. But because of his action, the blanket that once covered him fell which caused his muscular body to show. His glistening chest, strong arms and legs were exposed and my eyes drunk up the glorious sight before me eagerly.

I hummed while Naruto grinned. He made absolutely no moves to cover himself. Actually, he wanted me to see his body.

He chuckled, pulling his face close to mine, his blue eyes continuously eyeing my lips. "Mm, you like what you see, Hinata? What? Are you craving for more, hmm?" He whispered against my lips which instantly brought his morning breath to my attention.

I groaned once I smelt it, instantly pulling one hand down to press it playfully on Naruto's face. From there, I shoved it, working his body back down to lie onto the bed. "Uh, Naruto. You know if circumstances were different and I didn't have to go to work and if your breath didn't um.." My words trailed off once I caught the male I was talking to squint his eyes at me, his body lying comfortably on our plush pillows.

Naruto tilted his head, pulling one hand up to place it against his mouth. From there, he shot out a quick breath so he was able to smell it. Instantly, he recoiled. "Damn my shit reakes." He whispered underneath his breath before glancing back at me. "Sorry Hinata. Guess it's time we get a little more serious and focus on starting our day."

"Yes please. You have to take Noah to school today."

Naruto groaned upon that, pulling one hand up to cover his eyes. "Fuck, I wish I can just stay in bed." He whimpered before clutching my thigh with his left hand, the one that's been caressing my thigh this entire time. "Hinata, please let's stay in bed. Cuddle with me." Naruto begged with a pout, tilting his head further to allow his blonde bangs to fall over his adorable eyes. I couldn't help but coo at the sight of my pouting fiance. His offer was an enticing one but I can't possibly take it up. I have a job to get to. Noah has school. So I ignored how cute Naruto looked and instead shook my head, soon tilting it at him. "Now, now, Naruto, you know I wish I could but we can't. We have duties to fulfill today. Noah needs you." I responded back with a faint smile, trying to motivate Naruto into getting out of bed. And thankfully, it worked.

The blonde male was still tired but he knew that I was right and besides, he loved Noah too much to let him down so for his sake and mine, he gave in to his responsibilities.

He groaned. "Fine."

-A Few Minutes Later-
7:02 A.M.

"Alright, we're off, Hinata!"

After taking 30 minutes to get ready, to shower and to dress up for the day, Naruto and Noah were finally ready to leave the house.

Standing by the front door, I watched as both of them rushed up to me to deliver their farewell kisses which honestly made me laugh. Both loving boys gave me two and three kisses on both cheeks. But Noah went the extra mile and wrapped his arms around me, giving my body a tight hug.

"Bye mom! I hope you have fun at work." He giggled out against the warmth of my body. I giggled as well for his words amused me greatly. Honestly, there was nothing fun about my job but I didn't tell Noah that. I didn't want to ruin his mood. He seems very energetic this morning which means he's gotten enough sleep last night to be extra ready for school and soccer practice today. I was thankful for that.

I smiled down at my son and even bent down to give him a kiss as well, placing my lips briefly on his cheek, showering him with affection in return. "I will, Noah. I hope you have a great day at school as well. I wish you luck today for your soccer practice. I know you'll do great." I verbalized positively, with joy held in my eyes. Now that I've leveled myself down to Noah's height, I was able to look at him directly within his bright blue eyes which was filled with the same emotion I was feeling.

Happiness.

The young boy smiled, a wide smile before giving me a thumbs up. "Thank you, mom. Thank you so much." He declared before Naruto stepped up, making himself known.

I lifted my head up to spare the tall blonde male a glance, my lavender eyes instantly meeting his heated blue ones.

For today, Naruto wore a white jacket which had two zippers that worked horizontally on the front of it to act as the design for the particular coat. The jacket covered a grey shirt which hugged Naruto's build, revealing all the hard work he's committed himself to in the gym. I briefly lowered my eyes to check out the black jeans he wore and the sk8-hi true white canva vans he wore for his feet. He looked so sexy, I couldn't keep my eyes off of him.

Noah on the other hand wore an outfit that looked so adorable on him. He wore a navy blue tracksuit with a red zipper running down his jacket. His overall attire and with the way the fabric looked honestly seemed pretty comfortable to wear. And to end it off, he wore white Nike air huarache runs. Overall, his outfit will no doubt top everyone in his class, thanks to his father's fashion sense.

I gave Noah one last smile, even moving up to rustle his blond hair a little before standing back up.

Now, I turned to give Naruto my attention who had his eyes on me the entire time. He smiled, instantly pulling his hands around my body to give me a warm embrace as well. We both moaned softly at the feel of our bodies colliding. We enjoyed this, very much.

Naruto squeezed my body softly with his strong arms, cradling me to his chest. "Mmm, you have a good day, okay? Don't overwork yourself and..." He trailed off to pull his lips close to my ear, lowering the volume of his voice so Noah wouldn't hear since he was close.

I shuddered once I felt Naruto's hot breath meet my sensitive ear, my eyes closing briefly in the embrace he's given me. But as I stood, lying against Naruto's chest I could easily pick up his next words which brought even more chills down my spine.

"If anyone harasses you, Hinata. If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable at your workplace.. If anyone even fucking looks at you funny, you tell me immediately, understand? I'll deal with it in a heartbeat. You don't have to worry about anything, anymore, baby."

Naruto's words were said slowly, totally harsh. The man I shared an embrace with meant every single word he said which made me gulp nervously. Hearing his words now brought me back to Naruto's old ways which always used to bring me to tears. He always scared me. Naruto hardly ever shows that side of himself now for he has chosen to leave that part of him in the past. So hearing his words of malice now caused a wave of fear to sweep over me. And as a result, it began to show physically; my breathing quickening and my body trembling.

Naruto pulled back quickly, moving away from my ear to make eye contact with me, revealing how serious his eyes were. Narrowed and unmoving, he kept his dark blue eyes on mine, soaking in the uneasiness in them.

Immediately at the sight of the fear in my lavender eyes, Naruto's stern eyes softened, his finger rising forward to gently caress my arm. "I don't mean to scare you. That is the last thing I want. I just don't want you to feel any pain anymore. I don't want the past to repea-"

"I know." Quickly, I cut him up with a whisper, desperately wanting him to change the subject. I hate talking about the past. I hate talking about things that could upset Naruto. I wanted him to remain the positive person he is. But by him straying to matters that involve negativity, it seems to always harm his mood and as a result make him so paranoid and stressed. I know it has to be a side effect from feeling peace for a while. I know he secretly thinks it's all too good to be true.

I whimpered underneath my breath, picking my head up to direct it at the worried man before me.

Oh my poor Naruto.

Briefly, I glanced over at Noah who was still standing beside us, his ears taking in everything we were saying. And as a result, his eyes were slightly widened in surprise.

I sighed upon seeing such a look on Noah's face.

Naruto and I shouldn't talk like this around Noah. We must not include him in any more drama.

I made a promise to myself that from now on, I will shield Noah's eyes and ears from things a eleven year old should not see and hear. Noah, our precious son must be protected in order to grow into being a normal, well functional human being. I want him to keep his innocence and live his days as a child and even as a teenager without any worries and negativity.

I want him to be happy and pure.

I do not want him to be involved in anything harmful or corrupting. To this day, I am deeply ashamed of myself for getting Noah involved in the hell Naruto and I went through with Menma. I hate that he was harmed.

I can't let that happen again.

So with that, I returned my attention to Naruto and I discreetly gave him a head nod, moving one hand up to cup his cheek. He instantly leaned into it.

"What is it, Hinata?"

I shook my head. "Let's talk about this later, Naruto. You have to get Noah to school. He's, um, gonna be late." I whispered while nervously biting my lip afterward, trying to signal that I wanted the conversation to end for Noah's sake.

Naruto's head tilted briefly because he didn't quite get it at first. But once I caught the way his body grew stiff and his blue eyes darkened, instead taking on a color that could rival black, I knew he was using his powers.

I remained calm as possible as the male in front of me searched my mind with his magical powers which he absolutely adored. And because he's gotten pretty good at using them, it didn't take long for Naruto to figure out why I wanted to end the conversation.

Once he found the answer, he practically face palmed himself. "Oh fuck." He groaned, shifting his lightened blue eyes over at Noah who was standing beside us, taking in the situation as if he was merely watching Tv. He was soaking up everything we were saying which was all our fault.

Naruto sighed, moving one hand over to grab the back of Noah's head. With it, he nudged him around, working his body to the front door which snapped the blonde boy out of the deep trance he was in.

"Hey, dad! What were you and mom talking about? Hey, stop pushing!"

"Quiet Noah. What Mommie and I talk about has nothing to do with you. But you wanna know what does?"

"What?"

"School. Now let's go."

"Ah man!"

I laughed from afar as I watched the two boys I loved dearly make it quickly towards the front door with intentions of leaving. Noah held on tightly to his dark blue backpack on his back which rattled and shook due to his abrupt movement which was provoked by Naruto's light shoving.

Naruto briefly pulled his arm up to glance down at the blingy silver watch on his wrist, grimacing a bit at what he saw on it. "Damn it." He retorted underneath his breath before, throwing one hand out to unlock the front door and pull it wide open. But he didn't leave without saying one last thing to me.

He whipped his blonde head around to wave at me. "We can talk another time, Hinata! I'll call you later, promise!" He yelled out on which I nodded, quickly throwing a thumbs up to show that I

understood because as soon as he said those words, he was gone.

The door slammed shut leaving me within the living room alone, silence filling up the room.

I smiled faintly to myself.

Oh those two.

I giggled once more before quickly leaving the living room to get on with the task that I've had in mind ever since I've woken up. Taking Ino's advice, I quickly made my way through the house to wake Naruto's buddies to soon talk with them to conjure up an idea for Naruto's birthday party. Which is something, I desperately need..

Naruto's P.O.V

I let out a sigh as I watched my hyperactive son run full speed towards the garage that was surrounded with cars, inside and out which was located across the yard. The morning breeze was quite chilly which caused my body to shudder a bit, my shoes stepping through wet, dewy grass which was thankfully cut.

Thanks to Leo.

Leo usually cuts the grass. Stefan occasionally cleans the pool, Eddie help the women clean the house and Ray... I chuckled to myself.

Ray doesn't do shit.

We all are just a couple of bums, lying in our dream home underneath our dream women. We all enjoyed our new place in life and we were grateful that we were able to live it.

Given all the fucked up shit we did in our past.

Most of my life, most of my friends lives were filled with nothing but evil, killing and fucking. We knew nothing of love so to feel it now was a dream come true. I smiled at my thoughts as I steadily trotted along the yard, the large building behind me which I call home slowly growing farther and farther from me until I made it directly in front of the garage and I quickly pressed a button on my keys to open it.

I watched with amused filled eyes as Noah jumped up and down in excitement in front of the long, rectangular door which was slowly rising up, causing high pitch squeaking and grinding noises to erupt.

But Noah couldn't wait until the door opened completely for he quickly shot his body underneath it, entering the dark confines of the garage where a few cars were parked inside. 

I chuckled at his enthusiasm but went to do the same, pulling my head down to quickly slither myself into the garage, underneath the rising door.

Now, we were both introduced to a large space which was filled with four cars in total which sadly did not belong to me.

All of my cars were destroyed back at the club during the bombing. So what lies before me were possessions of Hinata's, Ray, Leo and Stefan's. Usually I'd snag one of my pal's cars but..

"Ooh! Ooh! Let's take your motorcycle, dad. I wanna ride that!" Repeatedly with excitement fueling his actions, Noah pointed at the all black motorbike that was leaning against the wall located to my right. I turned my attention onto it, tilting my head. My bike was the only thing that I managed to keep. Because I left it here way back then when I was trying to impress Hinata with it, I still have my precious bike. I hardly use it because it means so much to me. I didn't want anything bad to happen to it. It means the absolute world to me. So hearing Noah want to ride it made me highly confused.

Noah has never rode my bike before.

So, I raised one blonde eyebrow by Noah's request. "You want me to drive you to school... on my bike?"

"Yes, dad! I'm gonna look so cool in front of Zoey and all of my friends. They're gonna be completely jealous because of how awesome my dad is." The young blonde boy declared with a toothy grin while holding the straps of his large book bag where it was positioned on his back. The schoolbag was one which held all of his school supplies in.

Hearing Noah's words just now definitely made me chuckle and that alone made me consider his request.

"Fine, fine. If taking you to school on my bike will raise your cool points, then so be it. You are in desperate need of my help anyway." I replied back with a laugh, my feet slowly taking me over to my bike.

I grabbed the handles with both hands and with my foot I lightly kicked the stand on the bottom of the vehicle which was keeping it from falling over.

From there, I was free to hop on but I didn't leave without grabbing the two helmets that came in the color of black which were positioned on hooks above my bike, my blue eyes switching over to Noah who was quite flabbergasted by my response from earlier.

He threw his hands up and completely gawked at me, watching as I slowly pulled my legs over my bike to sit.

"Wait a minute. Are you saying I'm not cool, dad? Because I'm definitely cool." He retorted with a stern nod, folding his arms across his chest as a show of displeasure.

But I only saw his response and angry stance as adorable. I directed my blue eyes back at my son and I raised an eyebrow, my hands busy tightening up one of the helmets for Noah. "Ya know, son. Adorable and cool are too different things."

"I'm not adorable, dad! That's a girl term! Stop calling me that. It's weird when you do."

"But you are."

"No I'm not!"

For a few extra seconds, we both bickered back and forth about nonsense, completely wasting time. But to me, I saw this time as something meaningful. I saw it as bonding time with my son and I enjoyed every second.

But soon, Noah gave it a rest and instead stomped his way towards the bike I now sat on to hop on behind me. Now that Noah was sitting on the bike, I turned to give him his helmet while I pulled on my own. We both strapped in nicely, securing the helmets on our heads to ensure our safety. Once our helmets were secured, I turned to start up my bike, inserting the key into the ignition.

The bike sparked alive with a loud roar which was certainly music to my ears. It was always a treat to ride my motorbike. It brought back memories. It brought me peace.

But I didn't go just yet. First, I turned to check on my son who had his arms wrapped around my waist, holding on to my body from where he sat behind me.

I smiled down at the boy who had features that resembled my own. He, was a creation of my doing and everytime I look at him, I feel a sense of undying happiness. Not only did he remind me of myself when I was younger but I saw Hinata in him as well. Her teachings, her innocence, her love. In Noah, I saw the woman that saved me, that loves me with all of her heart and I love her just as much, probably even more.

I love Hinata and Noah to death.

My smile widened at Noah, my head turned over my shoulder so I could see the young boy fully. And because he caught my smile, he gave me a positive one back as well.

"Are you ready son?" I asked cautiously on which I got a nod back.

"Yep, I'm ready, dad! Let's do this!" He declared happily which was all I needed to rev up my bike, twisting the handles and stepping on the gas.

"Alrighty. Hold on tight." Was the last thing I said before I rode straight out of the open garage and onto the road, shooting down it and making it to Noah's school in no time.

Hinata's P.O.V

"So Hinata, what's the meaning of waking us up so early?" Leo commented groggily while letting out a yawn afterwards.

Now no longer lying in bed, Naruto's closest friends, Leo, Ray, Stefan and Eddie were sitting within the living room before me.

Eddie was quiet for the most part, just silently attending for I only woke him up so he could be a part of the conversation. I didn't want to leave him out.

So, I stood in front of them from where they all laid slouched lazily on the living room couch, all in a position as if they were going to go back to sleep any minute. A small smile came upon my lips at that.

I clasped my hands over the blue shirt that I wore, blue pants fitting my legs to match. The attire was one that nurses often wear, which is my job.

I, am a nurse.

I help others, treat them and listen to their problems. It's something I've always liked to do and I yearn to keep pursuing even still. My job can be stressful at times but overall, I deeply enjoy the medical life. It really suits me.

I shook my head, getting back on task. I chose to wake up Naruto's friends in order to ask them for any ideas for Naruto's birthday that's coming up in three days.

I need to know something now!

So with that, I bit my lip briefly. "I-I'm sorry for waking you all up. I just um, really need your help. It's urgent." I explained solemnly, my shoulders slumped. Because of my body language and my words, it immediately raised concern within the men before me. Instantly, they seemed to wake up and grow alert.

Ray sat up straight from slouching to tilt his head at me, his brown eyes squinted in worry. "Hinata, what's the matter? What's going on?" He asked slowly with stern eyes because he was quite anxious by my words. Even the other men looked worried.

But quickly to clear up any confusion, I waved my hands, giggling softly. The four men were staring at me as if I was just about to tell them some really bad news and that wasn't the case at all. I do not want them to worry. "No, no. It's nothing bad, I assure you. I've just been thinking and ya know, Naruto's birthday is coming up and I was wondering if you four have any ideas in mind to give me to celebrate. I sadly do not have a-any good ones." I turned to the four men with a pout on my face. "I really want Naruto's birthday to be something worth remembering. He's changed so much. He's changed for the better and I just really want to give him a reward for all that he's done. I really want him to enjoy his special day. So that's why, I need your help."

While explaining my intentions, I poured my heart into my words, trying desperately to clarify why I needed the men's help. And in response, I managed to get all of their attention. They complied with my wishes without so much as an argument or complaint. They were all for it when it came to helping me and I appreciated it dearly.

Ray gasped, pulling his hand up to run it through his brown hair, his body sitting up on the black living room couch before me. "Shit, why didn't you ask us sooner, Hinata? We could've figured something out and have everything planned before, ya know-"

"Don't you have a job to get to?" Stefan intervened with a raised eyebrow. "Kureani, Ino and Tsuande have already left, hun. I really don't want you to risk getting to work late because you've decided to talk to us idiots." He stated concerningly while scratching his head in confusion. The black haired man seemed very worried about my punctuality but I needed him and the other three men to focus. The faster I get a birthday idea from them the faster I can leave. I know this was last minute but..

It's better late than never.

And I have time. So I am willing to use it wisely.

So with that I shook my head at them. "Look, I know. I know, this is sudden. I know this is bad timing and I do apologize. But I really need an idea fast. If we come up with something right now, we can definitely have everything ready for Friday." I explained once more with a smile which managed to finally get the men on board.

They nodded in response. A devious grin slipped on Ray's face. "Alright then. So you're seeking an idea to celebrate Naruto's birthday, huh? Simple, you with no clothes on will do just the trick. Dancing, stripping, riding him-" As soon as he said such vulgar words, a full on blush began to cover my cheeks and for a moment, I felt like I was nineteen all over again.

"H-Hey! No inappropriate ideas!-"

"Oh yeah. You should definitely include sex toys and lingerie. Boss will absolutely love that shit." Stefan added, moving to dab Ray up who both laughed boisterously, their voices and the impact of their hands connecting filling up the entire room.

I shook my head vigorously at the sound of their unpleasant ideas. They were not ones I was seeking for which were only wasting my time further. Yes, I was planning to give myself to Naruto for his birthday but that isn't something I want his birthday to be surrounded with.

I don't want his birthday to be only about sex.

I wanted it to be filled with love and joy. I wanted it to be where his new family is present.

But hearing the men before me laugh and joke made me want to just reconsider asking them anything. I groaned, my eyes hardening on them. "You all are only wasting time. Could you at least be serious for one moment, please!" I shouted out at them, chastising them for how rude they were being. It was totally childish and it was seriously rubbing me the wrong way.

My chest heaved as a result of my unsteady breathing, my eyes filled with anger and frustration at the men in front of me. And thankfully, at the sound of the anger in my tone, I managed to get the chatty men to quiet their laughter.

Ray gulped. Stefan bowed his head, keeping quiet for my sake.

"S-Sorry, Hinata." Ray whispered out, his brown hair falling over his brown eyes from where he sat slouched forward.

Leo scoffed upon Stefan and Ray's obscene behavior, deeply bothered by it. "Yeah, shut the fuck up, why don't you? You heard Hinata, Naruto's birthday is right around the fucking corner and we still have no idea what to do for it. So I say, let's get a little serious and start mother fucking planning-"

"Oh um, I have an idea." Speaking over Leo's infuriated rant, Eddie finally contributed into the conversation which instantly managed to get my attention and also, the other men as well.

Leo silenced himself by Eddie's response, and instead whipped his redhead over at the blonde sitting on the end of the couch. The curly haired man briefly glanced at the men who stared back at him in interest before turning his attention up to me.

He smiled faintly. "Why don't we have his birthday party here? This place is fucking huge so I was wondering maybe have the party in the backyard. Buy a hell of a lot of balloons, buy a cake, a few gifts and play in the pool. Ya know, let's celebrate like a typical family would. Naruto, I-I mean boss would appreciate that. He's never had a birthday where he's around people like you before so I think he will love that very much." He explained profoundly, putting out an idea that sounds pretty simple and ordinary to a real family but to us..

To me..

I totally fell in love with the idea. My eyes shot wide open and the happiest smile spread across my lips, my body growing super excited due to Eddie's wonderful idea. I began to cheer. "Oh my kami! Thank you so much, Eddie. You don't know how much your idea means to me. We can definitely do that. We can have a pool party!"

"Hell yeah!" Leo chimed in with a satisfied grin, one that showed that he too liked the plan. Stefan and Ray did too for they also let out their boastful cheers and delightful laughs.

"That's dope as fuck."

"Wow, why didn't we think of this sooner?"

Eddie, now sitting with a slight blush on his cheeks due to everyone's cheering fits to his idea, a nervous chuckle escaping his lips. "Oh you're welcome, Hinata. Ya know I owe you for saving my life so whatever you need," His eyes softened, a meaningful smile spreading across his tan face, one that was full of emotion. "you can count on me, Hinata." Eddie's words were so astonishing and heart wrenching, I honestly forgot who I was talking to. I never seen Eddie show this much emotion before. He was also so quiet and reserved, only speaking when spoken to or only helping when no one expected him to. Eddie was someone that I haven't been able to get closer to. But by his words...

That's not the case after all.

He respects me for what I've done on his behalf. I saved him from death. I risked my own life for him which was slowly being stripped away from him due to Naruto's darker half.

The darkest parts of Naruto. A side of him that I managed to tame.

But back then, that side of Naruto was ruthless and merciless. He cared less about anyone but his own needs and because Eddie betrayed him, turned his back on Naruto and sided with Menma..

Naruto's sworn enemy.

It drove Naruto completely mad. He sought to kill Eddie for his deeds, stabbing him over and over. Such a memory was engraved into my head, stuck there as long as I live.

It was too horrific.

But, because of me, I managed to save Eddie from Naruto's wrath and now, here he is, smiling in front of me, completely appreciative of me as a person for what I did. And he was also appreciative that I took a liking to his idea. That alone, brought tears to my eyes. The moment before me touched my heart.

My cheeks ached by how wide they were spread but I didn't care. I was happy and the men before me were happy that I've gotten what I've yearned for.

An idea for Naruto's birthday party.

I can finally do this. We can finally make Friday a day to remember.

-End of Part 1-
