It was her big day. On that day, Hinata turned 16 and would celebrate her birthday in style. And best of all, their longtime crush would come too. He had grown up and also become much smarter and stronger, but he had retained his somewhat childish charm. He was still a bit clumsy, but she found it more sweet than annoying. For her he was the dream man. And today he would only come because of her!
She just had to smile happily at the thought. She got up and got ready. Then she went down. When she got downstairs, she was immediately greeted with a "Happy Birthday, honey" from her mother. Her father smiled at her. Then came Hanabi too. “Congratulations, Hinata!” She hugged the birthday boy. "Thanks."
Hinata was overjoyed. Her life has been going well for some time. Some time ago she had passed the Jou-Nin exam, her father no longer saw her as useless, but as a worthy successor and today she would celebrate her birthday with her friends.She went back to her room and found something to wear for her party. But somehow she didn't find the right one. It wasn't until she'd cleared out the entire closet that she saw something she liked. She saw a summer dress in white with light blue and lilac flowers. She tried it on right away. It went up to her knees and her back was exposed because it was tied at the nape of the neck. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. She liked it. But she decided to ask her sister anyway. "Hanabi, can you come?" Her sister came. “What?” “Do you think I can put the dress on?” Hinata's younger sister nodded. “Yes, that looks great!” And then she was gone again. Then Hinata looked for suitable shoes. She opted for flat sandals with laces that tied around the leg. She also found a fine silver bracelet with a small heart pendant. ° Maybe the trailer will bring me luck. ° She put on make-up, but not too much because she didn't want to look painted.Then she looked at the clock. One more hour until the start of the party.
She decided to go on the way and see if the servants had already prepared the buffet.
As she stepped out the door, the sun was shining happily towards her. She, too, seemed happy about Hinata's life. The Kunoichi stretched her face towards the sky and closed her eyes. The sun's rays caressed her skin. It was a nice feeling.
After a while she finally made her way to the hall. When she got there, she noticed that everything was going to her complete satisfaction. She spent the rest of the time straightening the decoration again. After all, everything should look perfect. "You don't need to do this, that's what we're here for," said James, her attendant politely, when he saw what she was doing. "But I'm happy to help," she smiled. This young woman kept surprising James. He had worked for many wealthy families.The children were always very spoiled. They were used to getting what they wanted and were just shooing their servants around. They asked for things to be fetched, even if they were right next to them. But Hinata was different. She did most of the work herself and even helped! She was helpful and kind, which was rare in rich families.
After a while the first guests came. First, Ino and Sakura. “Congratulations!” “Thank you.” They hugged Hinata. The next were already coming. She was also greeted with a "congratulations!" welcomed and received a present. Slowly the rest of them came in too. She had received flowers from the teachers. Since everyone was there, she opened the other presents. Many of them gave her jewelry or particularly beautiful kunai and the like. Then came Naruto's gift. She opened it and a desk lamp came out. ° Great gift °, Sakura thought sarcastically.But Hinata liked it. She put the plug in a socket and turned it on. But when she took a closer look at the lamp, her face turned red. Because when you switched on the lamp, a red lettering came to light. "I love you" was now written on the lampshade in large, red, glowing letters. The same thought shot through the minds of everyone present: ° He finally got it! ° But in the next moment their hopes were dashed when Naruto scratched the back of his head, embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was on it." Everyone sighed. He hadn't understood. "I'll exchange them," he added, but Hinata, who had become more confident over the years, waved it off. "No, it's okay. I like the lamp. I especially like the writing." She looked at him uncertainly. What would he say Now the others also drew hope again, because Hinata's statement had been pretty clear.But again their hopes were dashed. "Okay," he said with a shrug. “If you like it.” Sakura slapped her forehead with one hand. "Naruto ..." she sighed. Before anyone could say anything else, Choji saw the buffet and shouted: “Delicious Esseeeeen!” He had never been able to curb his appetite. But Ino grabbed him and hissed: "Hinata has not opened the buffet yet, so hold back if you please, right?" Choji grumbled "Yes, okay" and she let go of him. Meanwhile, Tenten turned to Hinata. “What are we going to do?” She pointed to the stage and smiled. "Sing karaoke!"
Gai and Kakashi both wanted to start, but they couldn't agree who could. So Kiba suggested that everyone sing a duet in pairs. Hinata agreed, as did the others. Then the two Jou-Nin chose a song. They stood on the stage as a matter of course, the others concluded that they could sing quite well.But they were very wrong. As Gai sang the first bars, everyone snorted. Kakashi was no better either. One was bad, but when they sang at the same time, it was pure torture. Worse than scratching a chalkboard with their fingernails. On the other hand, because they sang so badly, it was very funny. When the song ended, they bowed and walked off the stage. "Sensei, that was just great," laughed Naruto. Kakashi smiled. "Of course it was. Now try your luck." "Huh?" And before Naruto knew it, he was standing on the stage with a microphone in hand. Suddenly Kiba started to grin and said: “There is always two singing!” Then he grabbed Hinata who was standing next to him and dragged her onto the stage as well. Now Naruto and Hinata were on stage and didn't know what to do. Kiba intervened again. "I'll choose a song for you." Hinata suspected what he was up to.He always wanted to pair someone up so that he could say afterwards that it was he who brought two hearts together and made them so happy. And when Naruto was there on stage like that, Kiba had seen his chance.
A melody sounded. One that Hinata didn't necessarily want to hear at the moment. The melody of "You light up my life". If that wasn't a love song ...
She threw Kiba a venomous look that said: “If I can get my hands on you ... then God bless you!” Kiba had to admit that this look scared him, but once the two were together, then she wouldn't hold it against him anymore. Or so he hoped.
Hinata's assignment was about to come. She looked at Naruto, who just shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "Then let's just sing." "Okay." So Hinata started to sing:
So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside meAlone in the dark but now
You've come along ...
Everyone was amazed because she had a wonderful voice. ° She could have become a singer °, Naruto thought enthusiastically. Now came Naruto's intervention. He was also a very good singer. Nobody expected that. They were all gone.
While Naruto and Hinata sang, they looked at each other. They hardly noticed that they were getting closer with every word. And when the passage "You light up my life, you give me hope to carry on ..." appeared in the chorus, the audience felt the crackling between the two. The song was coming to an end. Their voices grew lower and lower. Then it was all over, but they still stood very close and looked each other in the eye.
But abruptly they were brought back to reality when thunderous applause rang out. Hinata took a step back and smiled at him. He smiled back. “Seems to have liked it.” Indeed it had, Lee called out, “Zuuuuugaaaaabeeeeee !!!"The two of them left the stage. Hinata went outside for a moment, she was quite warm. Outside a refreshing breeze was blowing towards her. ° It was really nice to sing with him. And I meant every word I sang. ° Suddenly she felt something being put over her shoulders. It was nice and warm. She turned to face Naruto. He had a jacket around her shoulders so she wouldn't freeze. He smiled at her. And she replied It. They seemed to understand each other without words. He stepped up to her and hugged her. Then he went very close to her ear and whispered: "I understood what you meant when you said, you especially like the writing. I love you too, Hinata. "He broke the hug and looked at her." Really? "Naruto nodded, leaned down a little and kissed her tenderly. When they looked at each other again, he noticed the tears in her eyes." What is it? "" This is the best birthday I've ever had!“They kissed again.” I think we should go back inside. "He took her by the hand and together they went back to the others. And when they saw them, everyone knew that fate had finally brought them together.

Soooo, that's it with our FF! ^^
Maybe something will come back at some point, but let's see.
And to the song that Hinata and Naruto sang:
We think it fits the relationship between the two perfectly when you think of the Hinata versus Neji fight. She didn't give up because Naruto was there etc. and in the text it says: You give me hope to carry on ...
So, of course we ask for clerks! ;)
