Flashback

The sea breeze carried to the cabins the first rays of sun but the members of the crew hadn't finished their night of sleep. Everything was then free of human activity on the camp: waves peacefully washed towards the beach, smoke slipped out of the fireplace and some birds were already singing happily.

Their melody arrived to the ears of the captain who was not yet used to wake up so fresh and ready in the morning. Laying on his bed, eyes looking up at the ceiling, his hand which wasn't behind his head came and went along the necked arm wrapped around his torso. He could feel her belly against his side slowly rising and falling to the pace of her sleepy breath. The moist warmth created by both their bodies under the sheet wasn't bothering him. On the contrary, it was relaxing and he wondered what did he do to be able to enjoy these peaceful moments.

Him who had been nothing but a brutal pirate then an alcoholic grumpy hold in this very moment the lifebelt which helped him floating on the surface of the turbulent water. Was it for that he had survived the island eddies? He always believed that life had cursed him but what if it was the opposite. What if he had to lose everything to understand the meaning of his existence, of his power? What if meeting Hinata despite his wrongs had always been his destiny? What if she was the one to heal his soul, to help him gained back his confidence? It was to find an answer at all these questions that he watched her from afar since her arrival but soon enough, he mixed his own feelings and dared approach her. Not in the best way possible, he had to confess but given he was on cloud nine since then, for nothing in the world, he would change something.

The only problem was to know how she felt because read people was unfortunately not his forte. Was she seeing him just like a man with whom have fun while time was passing by? That idea made him frown because, if it was true, it would mean that she will leave as soon as she will be at Kumo.

"Hey. You're already awake?" her soft voice came from his side.

Looking down to her, his heart quivered when he saw her beautiful smile on her still sleepy face. Still not used to all of this routine which naturally began between them, he quietly admired her, continuing to wonder if he was dreaming. How a girl like her could live in a world with pirates like him?

At his silence, she rolled on her belly before pushing on her arms to have her full lips at the level of his. Her kiss was quick but Naruto didn't need more to lose control of his emotions. She just moved herself away from him and his body already ached for hers to touch him again. He couldn't get enough of her. She was so beautiful, so perfect. Did he really deserve her?

Her slightly tilted head removed her hair from her neck now exposed to his watchful eye and the desire to put his lips on her sensitive spot right above her collarbone clenched his guts. However, a light hand caressed the creases of his forehead, getting rid of his sensual thoughts.
