1. Cuddling

"Hinata~! I wanna cuddle~!" Hinata stifled a giggle and returned to her task, placing ornaments on their small Christmas tree.

Naruto frowned and kept rolling around his living room, happy that he could see Hinata from this point of view—which was a view to appreciate—and sad that she ignored his request for cuddling.

"Hinata~, can we please?"

"Naruto-kun, I still have to make hot chocolate—"

"—that can wait—"

"A-And I have to start making your ramen—!"

"Cuddling with you is always better than eating ramen." He smirked when he saw her blush.

Her heart was beating a million miles per second and her heating cheeks didn't help to keep down the buzz that was going on throughout her body.

Naruto crept up slowly behind her.

She was oblivious and reached up to fix a crooked ornament when he encircled his arms around her waist, surprising the lights out of her.

"Naruto-kun!"

"Cuddling first, scolding later!" He ran to their room, she was squirming in his arms, and fell down. Hinata was pressed tightly against him and her blush was now a dark red, the tips of her ears also burning. She buried her head on his chest and she felt him rumble with content laughter.

She couldn't help but smile shyly.

2. Holding Hands

Their date, by far, was going great. She didn't faint and he didn't eat his food like a starved animal. She didn't stutter as much and he didn't trip over his feet. He paid for her food and she thanked him greatly with a bright smile. By now, however, they were walking aimlessly around the quiet village, trying to prolong the end of their wonderful date. Neither spoke it out loud but they didn't want this night to end. Their heart beat in unison when that thought registered in their mind and they both chance a glance at the other, only to lock gazes with each other. It was a long intense second before they looked away. Hinata glanced down and clasped her hands together while Naruto scratched his head, nervous that he's been caught.

A sudden thought passed through his mind and glanced at Hinata only for his face to fall when he saw that both of her hands were occupied with the other. He wanted to hold her hand so badly, to feel close to her. He mentally applauded himself when he close the distance between and slyly moved his hands so they can be touching her arms. She felt his heat mingling with her own and watched from the corner of her eye as his hand began snake its way to her arm. Maybe he wanted to hold hands…? The thought made her nervous. What if her palms were sweaty? Taking a chance in life, she closed her eyes tightly and released the tight lock her hands had with the other and slowly moved her hands to her side. She felt his knuckles rub against her hand and she couldn't help but intake a sharp breath. Her heart beat thundered in her ears and she opened her eyes too late. She tripped over her own foot and the shock made her body shut down. Great, now she was going to embarrass herself in front of Naruto-kun! Oh, what would he think when—?

"Hinata, are you okay?" His questioned fanned her ear and his arms were tight around her. For a moment, she couldn't speak, couldn't breathe, but regained control and nodded quickly.
