#naruhina fake dating au

[no-hugs-peach]

Figured out why I hit a wall on one of my more ambitious fanfic ideas: while I knew what's going on now I forgot to account that the characters have 10+ years of knowing each other in this AU before the plot begins.

So I'm now poking at my AU to explore some background ideas and details. If you guys wanna ask me anything about it (couple details, funny incident you think any of these characters may've had, what the rules of the parties are, etc), my ask box is open.

Harbor Having Fun:

The annual Christmas Party is a tradition. Everyone is invited, but since college it's been harder to get everyone together and this year is no different. Secrets can't stay hidden forever and sometimes you have to face your fears. But the holidays are also a great time to connect with old friends, meet new people, and hide from your overbearing parents and other extended family. Also known as: People give Gaara and Ino way less credit for maturity than they deserve. They also give Shikamaru and Temari way more credit than deserved. The following individuals are hiding secrets: Neji, Shino, Karin, Hana, and Tenten. Fake dating isn't that fake when everyone but you insists that you're dating a friend. But it is when you bribe another friend. And remember, friends don't let friends host single.

The couples in chapter one are: NaruHina, ChoKarui, ShikaTema, ShinoKarin, KankTen, SaiSamui, NejiHana, and (allegedly) KibaShiho.

I'm also working on working on the rules, and backstory for the rules, of the Christmas party. Along with determining which rules will be added from this year's chaos.

POV Characters: Konoha 12, Karin, Suigetsu, Samui, Matsuri, Sand Siblings, Hanabi, Itachi, and Shisui

There also a bunch of non-pov characters, rule of thumb is that if a pov knows them in canon they know them in this modern-au.

Hello! I don’t know if you’ve gotten this ask before, and if you have please feel free to link it! But do you know of any fake dating NH fics? AU or cannon/divergent is okay with me. Please and thank you!

Oh yah

Fake Relationship AU

“Mission Together” from “Proud Failures to Proud Parents” by xHinaLovex - Rated T, Canon-Divergent, One-shot. “You will be posing as wealthy newlyweds on their honeymoon for the investigation.”

“Hand(s)” by @ssa25 - Rated T, Royalty AU, One-shot. After sneaking out of the palace, Hinata finds herself in quite a commotion...

Untitled wip by @matchaball - Rated T, Modern AU, Short one-shot. He will always entrust her to watch his back in a heartbeat.

“Spy AU” by @magmawrites - Rated M, Spy AU, One-shot.  They were one of the best teams The Agency had ever seen. Until they broke one of their most important rules…don’t fall in love with your partner.

I hadn’t really read this trope before in NaruHina, so I attempted to write my own - “Undercover” - Rated E, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. Naruto and Hinata join the Twelve Guardian Ninja of the Land of Fire’s Daimyo. But not really. Their mission is to smoke out the rat among them who’s selling political secrets to insurgents, while making sure the other Guardians don’t figure them out. Neither can tell when their acting became so convincing.

bkgsbby / naruhinasbby / browniefic / trinity used to have two fake dating SocMed AUs on her Twitter called “A Little White Lie” and “pas de deux”....maybe one day she’ll reupload them 🙏🏼

Happy Reading!!

Non-massacre AU where

After Itachi shoved it in their faces that he was not giving into their demands and continued to date Izumi - who, despite everything, is still not a “pure” Uchiha in the elders’ eyes - the Uchiha clan elders turn their eyes to Sasuke. In an attempt to keep them away from her youngest son, Mikoto files a mission request for Sakura to act as Sasuke’s girlfriend. 

Now Sasuke and Sakura have to decide whether they’d rather fake date each other or watch as the youngest Uchiha gets dragged into a loveless arranged marriage.

An Affair of Honor

Hinata Hyuga, the eldest of her clan, was forced into a loveless marriage and stripped off of her own will and rights. At least, until the Duke of Uzushio formulates a plan to fake a courtship with the future Hyuga Heiress, hoping that it could attract other proper suitors for the girl and lessen the Duke's popularity with the women in the village. Though as fake as their relationship might've initially been, they fear that their feelings for each other were anything but. Bridgerton Inspired.

"Your 18th birthday is in a few weeks."

Ever the stoic man that he was, her father reminds her (as if he hasn't done that plenty of times already) of the big bright elephant in the room. The elephant that she's been arduously avoiding for the past couple of days.

"I am aware." Hinata answers like the obedient daughter that she is. Eyelids lowered, back straight as a board and her monotonous tone does not go unnoticed.

Hiashi whips his gaze to his eldest and supplies even further. "And? What are your plans then? I haven't seen a single man— or let alone a bouquet of flowers waiting outside our doorstep. Or are you simply that unattractive, that no man in the village would dare sweep you off your feet."

For the mashup fic!! Naruhina (obviously xD))

Massage AU + "I didnt mean to turn you on" 👀👀

pssst! Thank you so much for the ask, @char-lotteral !! It was a lot of fun!! 😍

Fic under the cut. ;3

Hinata is majoring in Massage Therapy and her dropout boyfriend works construction. She owns a massage table in her apartment and Naruto let's her practice what she's learned that day in class on him. He thinks it's a win-win since his job often leaves him with all kinds of aches and tension, and personally, he would rather keep saving up for the ring than spend $80-$100 per hour for a professional.

He feels as giddy as he did on their first date when he gets ready to receive his first massage. His girlfriend of three years looks so damn cute in her heather gray spa uniform. He also loves how it hugs her incredible curves.

A confused mix of pride and jealousy flits across his mind briefly when he imagines the day a customer tries to hit on her. He'll be more than happy to upgrade their treatment to a year of Physical Therapy if they try anything with her.

Hinata hands him a towel to hide his bits and he tosses it onto the massage table before reaching to unzip his jeans.

His clothes are pooled at his feet before he hops on the table, settling his face comfortably in the face support ring, completely unaware of the effect his stripping had on his girlfriend.

His body is completely different since his first day on a construction site half a year ago and it throws her off. She doesn't recognize him at all, but she's not complaining.

She asks herself whilst fanning her face how is she ever going to navigate this new terrain. And beneath that thought sprouts another albeit strange one: Is it cheating if this new Naruto inspires dirty thoughts faster than his previous self ever did? Somehow it feels like cheating. Her palms simply itch to touch him, to explore him, to memorize every tough swell of muscle until he's tender beneath her hands. She simply can't get her hands on him fast enough.

She shakes off her weird train of thought and grabs the bottle of massage oil from her utility tray. Her first mistake is greasing him up like a hibachi griddle. The cool oil shocks him, and Hinata apologizes profusely.

She knew better, too. She can't believe she didn't warm up the oil in her hands first.

Her next mistake is massaging him too lightly.

He doesn't know what to tell her. Between knowing that he wasn't going to get any relief before his next shift and not wanting to discourage her, he stays quiet at first before having the boneheaded idea to fake contented groans.

Hinata realizes there's no way he's feeling good from her self-conscious massage, so she amps up the applied pressure.

That's her third mistake.

But when it comes to Hinata, Naruto has god-like patience for her and he doesn't let this first experience scare him from being her practice dummy.

The moment he leaves her apartment, the smell of his skin is still clinging to the oil along her palms, and in the sanctuary of her bedroom she can hardly stop herself from reaching down into her panties. The oil feels so, so gooood.

The next massage, she doesn't excuse herself from watching him undress, neither for the third time. The fourth time, however, he notices her engrossed stare, and his smug smile nearly gives her a heart attack.

It feels so good by the sixth massage when her well-oiled palms smooth up and down his back, he can no longer contain his genuine grunts and groans.

He begins to wonder what kind of sounds she would make on the massage table. He vaguely considers taking up Massage Therapy, just so he could be her exclusive masseuse, and wouldn't have to share her noises with another person, no matter how professional they may be about their job.

The idea of squeezing her thighs with lubed hands, eliciting sweet little moans from her lips, it causes him to swell to full length.

What he wouldn't do to have her wrap her oily hand around him and jerk him off to completion.

But this is for her school.

He doesn't have the stomach to turn such an innocent arrangement into something so perverted.

So he doesn't.

Back at his apartment, he's so relaxed he could fall asleep yet so restless that he can't.

He swore off initiating sex ever since she followed him out of University. Back in high school, their sex life didn't seem to affect their grades all that badly, they still graduated after all! Although her cousin Neji seemed to vehemently disagree. 'So she should've had a 3.8 GPA and not a 3.0, so what?' is what eighteen-year-old him thought, but then he found out she was getting dropped from course after course, and he blamed himself.

They were drinking too much, sexing too much, and hadn't the coursework to prove they were serious about any earning any sort of degree.

That's why he chose this paltry one-room apartment, when he could be splitting the rent with her. He needs to give her her space to study and grow.

Even if this isn't the occupation she originally envisioned for herself.

The last thing she needs is distraction.

But when the fifteenth massage is a chest massage and she needs him to lie on his back, he realizes just how much she herself is a distraction.

Her masseuse student uniform is hanging a little loose as she bends forward, the softest line of her cleavage is peaking up from her V-neck collar, and the motion of the massage is causing her large breasts to sway powerfully.

The things those breasts used to do for him to get him off.

The memory tortures him.

He knows this isn't her intention, but he's so goddamn horny for his little massage therapist. He wants to massage deep inside a place nobody teaches you about. He's a self-taught expert thanks to her, but he's sure there're a few more lessons they haven't studied yet together.

A draft settles over his hot-and-bothered region.

To his horror, he realizes that he forgot to move the towel around his front. So instead of tenting, the folds have completely fallen away, and he's fully erect as she kneads her palms into him, the utter concentration on her face captivating him as it always does, reminding him of how he fell for her in the first place. How he needs to hold himself back for her sake.

The sound of the wheezing oil bottle breaks his horny enchantment, and he wonders where the rest of it went.

The next day, she asks him if he can pick up another bottle of oil.

On his way to her apartment, he searches his brain, trying to understand how sixteen ounces could dwindle so fast. Now that he thinks about it, between massages, the amount wasn't static. No, it was definitely decreasing.

His stomachs sinks.

The thought of her relying others for practice gets to him, and he can't seem to make sense of this bitterness sprouting up so suddenly.

She needs this.

She needs this degree more than she needs his shenanigans.

Maybe even more than she needs him.

She'll make more money than him, that's for damn sure.

All he's done is cause her trouble, hasn't he?

He's not with her all the time. He can't be. And sometimes he's too wiped from work to even come over, and if he does, he passes out on her sofa.

The time they spend together has dwindled to frequent yet brief visits, marred by exhaustion or a need to abstain from distracting her.

There are gaps in her daily life left open for another person to fill.

And she's probably been using all of her oil on him.

When he arrives outside her door, she welcomes him with the same precious smile and he enters the threshold to remove his shoes.

He told her he was on the way.

So if another pair of size twelves had been here, they had been given ample warning to skedaddle.

She takes the bag from him, thanking him, and he numbly follows her inside, his eyes sweeping her apartment for any clues of a previous presence.

Maybe a second cup of tea, partially sipped. Or half-eaten senbei abandoned in their haste.

"Naruto-kun?" she calls from behind him. He turns around, dully humming in question. She's preparing the massage table. Disinfecting it as if, maybe, someone else had used it before him.

Her eyes connect with his. "You look exhausted. Is a massage no good today?"

He can't answer her. The words, his worries, they all feel lead in his voice box. So heavy, they just sink back down from wherever his sifting fingers had managed to unearth them.

He just has to come out and say it.

"Where is all of your massage oil going?"

Her eyes widen and his heart begins to break. Red fills her face and he thinks it's the color of her guilt. It's made all the worse when she ducks down, hiding herself from him. She's wringing her hands, the silence stretching on, stretching his normally god-like patience and he thinks he could be happy for her.

Maybe whoever her new guy is they might try and encourage her to chase her dream, the one he ruined without even trying.

"... it's embarrassing..." she utters so quietly it barely qualifies as a whisper.

"Where is it going, Hinata? This stuff should last forever."

"I-I'm putting it to g-good use."

He tilted his head. "Hah?"

Her eyes squeezed shut. She pressed her balled fists up to her cheeks, and imagined she was about to break down and cry.

Maybe he is exhausted.

Not thinking straight.

He carried three tubs to be installed today. Not by himself, but still. Going up stairs with that shit was tough.

"Whatever, forget it," he sighed, rubbing the back of his head. "I'm taking a nap, then I'll be out of here."

As if he'd be happy with that.

She doesn't stop him.

He collapses in the usual spot, with his arm curled beneath his head, but this time he's facing inwards, as if he's shutting her out while he rests.

He hopes he'll feel better when he wakes up.

He'll apologize if he has to, but right now he needs sleep.

Just as he's drifting in between realms, her presence settles down behind him, her soft, pretty whisper brushing the vestiges of consciousness, holding him in the waking realm for just a moment longer. And what she told him became lost in the plausibility of being a dream.

"I use it when I think of you, Naruto-kun. I miss you so much."

"Hmm?" he mumbled, so drunk with sleep. "Oh. Sorry. I didn't mean to turn you on."

A Little Faith

This is an AU story that I’ve recently started, it was originally two prompt writings but I’m joining them into a longer story. There will be certain chapter where it chances up POV but this will mainly be a BoruSara fic but there will be hints of SasuSaku and NaruHina. Oh and thank you @kairi-chan for giving me the confidence to do this! This story if for you

Rating: T (could change but only because of language)

Word Count: 3406

Chapter 1

“They party starts in just a few hours Sarada! You and Boruto need to get dressed in the outfits I laid out.” My mother’s voice echoes through the large hallway. I can’t help the eye roll that ensues when I plop down on my desk chair, letting my forehead thud against the hard wood. Tonight my grandparents are coming over for dinner and after that the rest of my family is coming for an importance announcement. Grandpa Fugaku is retiring as CEO of Uchiha Corporations and tonight he’s naming his successor, which will most likely be my father since my Uncle Itachi has no dream of running the company.

The door clicks open and I watch Boruto enter from the corner of my eyes, a noticeable shit eating grin plastered on his face. I haven’t even inspected the ridiculous clothing cluttering my bed but knowing my mother there’s an elegant formal dress and brand-new suit waiting on us. Whenever my great grandfather Madara comes to our estate she gets into this frenzy of making everything perfect. He’s never approved of my mother, I honestly have no idea why either. Sakura Uchiha is the country’s leading surgeon, she runs two of the country’s top cutting-edge hospitals and even opened up her own children’s mental health clinic. Patients travel from around the world to be treated by her and there’s a two-year waiting list to become an intern with my mother. Needless to say, she’s impressed me more than my great grandfather ever has.

“When are the old geezers coming over?” My best friend/ boyfriend snorts out as he takes a seat on the small couch tucked against the large window. He’s never been a fan of the way my mother is treated either. It doesn’t make things any better that our families are very close personally and business wise, Uchiha Corporations and Uzumaki Technology work hand in hand. Hopefully when my father takes over we can merge the two into one.

“Sooner than I want. Great Grandfather Madara will be here to harass my mother, so her pride is going to be chipped away soon.” I say before lifting my head to scroll through the new emails in my box. A few weeks ago, Boruto and I graduated from college and now dozens of companies are requesting interviews with me, but honestly, I have no intention on working for anyone other than my father. I’ve spent my life trying to catch up to him and Uncle Naruto, one day I want to be able to run both of our companies with pride.

The sound of crinkling plastic catches my attention and I spin the chair around to see the ensemble my mother picked. It’s a deep red, floor length dress with simple crystals sewn into the bodice while Boruto has a standard suit with a matching red tie and pocket square. Part of me knew not to expect anything less from my mother, rolling my eyes I sink into my chair.

“I’m not wearing a tie!” Boruto whines as he releases the clothing to fall back on the bed. Whenever Uncle Naruto and Aunt Hinata throw parties Boruto does whatever he wants, I’ve only seen him wear a tie to company meetings and graduation.

“Well I wish I could say I’m not wearing a dress, but I have to.” I frown sets on my face before I spin back around and slam the laptop close. Mama always goes overboard with these things. As always, my father lets her too, he does anything to make her happy. Closing my eyes, I prop my head up and release a sigh I had been holding in.

“You’ll wear whatever Sakura has set out. Tonight, is a big night for everyone.” A deep voice cuts through the silence and my eyes snap open to see my father leaning against the door frame. He’s already dressed in a jet-black suit, matching his hair almost perfectly, although his tie is missing. A casual smirk adoring his face as eyes stare daggers into my boyfriend, it seems I have no choice but to wear that monstrosity.

“Auntie Sakura always gets frazzled whenever they come over Uncle Sasuke. It’s starting to get annoying.” I cut my gaze over to the blonde idiot and mimic my father’s glare. Even if it’s the truth, you never speak that way about Mama in front of him. My father has fired many employees for that same tone or just looking at her in the wrong manner. I look back to my father and see him take in a deep breath.

“Sometimes we have to do thing we don’t necessarily want just to make others happy. My grandfather is still a skeptic of Sakura, he doesn’t believe she’s worthy of the Uchiha name. So, my wife put every ounce of pride and dedication into these things to prove him wrong.” He stops just for a moment to take a sip from his glass, I didn’t even notice he was carrying one. My father only ever drinks on two occasions, formal parties and after tough days in the office. Judging by the look on his face it’s the latter.

“As you both know, I’ll do whatever it takes to make Sakura happy. So, either you two dress yourselves or I will.” For a moment I see my father’s eyes go red, a shiver runs up my spin as I reach for my dress and take off into the bathroom. Father-1, Sarada-0.

Hours later, Boruto and I make our way down the stairs into the large dining room. I’m shocked to see Uncle Itachi sitting at the table and a large smile comes across my lips. He’s been away on business for almost two months and I missed him at my graduation, but now he’s home and we can talk later. My eyes lock onto my mother who is speaking with my grandmother Mikoto. The best days of my childhood where spent with those women, they helped mold me into the person I am today. I notice my mother is wearing a dress almost identical to mine except in black, opting to go simple just for my father.

“Ah Sarada. Good we can get started with dinner.” A blush creeps across my face as I’m escorted to my chair, at least Boruto can behave at the right times. He takes his seat beside me and I can’t help but smile as I lock eyes with my uncle. I’ve missed him more than I care to admit. His eyes look to the left and I follow his gaze, Madara sits at one head of the table while my father is on the other end. Even in his old age Madara looks almost youthful, his black hair never grey and a few wrinkles but nothing more than my grandfather. A shiver runs through my spine as his dark orbs shift over to me and a smile cracks across his lips, like he’s trying to force a simple smile.

“Congratulations Sarada for graduating. When do you plan on starting at the office?” The small sip of water I took causes me to choke slightly. Always so blunt and to the point.

“I’m waiting on an offer. I can’t start working just because of my last name. Although I’ve had offers from dozens of companies.” I say before my attention turns back to my Uncle, a smirk of approval is displayed and from the corner of my eye I can see one on my father’s face as well. Boruto can’t help but nudge me slightly causing my cheeks to heat up, hopefully I ended that conversation.

“Of course you can, it’s your birth right. You are an Uchiha after all, well mostly Uchiha.” My eye twitches at the low blow to my mother. These are the things that really infuriate me, all night we will have to hear comments like this about my mother. Refusing to answer I begin to eat my dinner and look over to my mother, a fake smile displayed on her face but in those green orbs I can see the comment hurt.

“Grandfather Kizashi offered me a management position at his firm. It may not be as large as Uchiha Corp. but they are a steady business with large profit margins.” I reply without even looking at the old man. My other grandparents may not have been born into success but they built a reputation for themselves. They started a small law firm right before my mother was born, at first it was only taking on petty cases but after a while it grew and it’s one of the top law firms in the city. The smirk that displays on my lips while I look over at Mama only encourages her own smirk, I may not be all Uchiha but my Haruno half is still just as strong.

The rest of dinner goes by relatively quick, after Madara’s insult the conversation ended and we were able to eat in peace. I stay behind with my mother as we watch the other make their way to the backyard. She stays standing by the table watching the back of my father until it disappears from sight.

“Don’t let him get to you Mama. We all know how amazing and talented you are.” Her laughter makes me look at her in confusion.

“Sarada I’ve been around your great grandfather since I was a child, I’ve learned to live with it over the years. Long before your father and I dated we were childhood friends and classroom rivals. Madara hated that I was always beating your father for top student, even more so he hated how Sasuke-kun didn’t care. Only when we got married it became more of an obvious annoyance.” By obvious annoyance she means how she stands out in a room. The brightness of her long pink locks and piercing green eyes are a sight to be seen. In all my life I’ve never seen someone who comes close to my mother in beauty. The Uchiha’s are typically dark colored in nature, brown or black hair but we all have the same coal colored eyes. My Uncle once referred to her as the living embodiment of spring, that statement is still true to this day. But there’s also another reason why Madara doesn’t like her either, my parents married young. During college they decided to marry in secret and I was born while they were still in college. If it wasn’t for my grandmothers I don’t think my parents would be as successful as they are.

“Let’s catch up with the others. The announcement is going to be made soon.” Her smile warms me and I follow beside her, the backyard has been transformed into a dance floor. Lights hang from the trees and tables are set up along the edges, almost a hundred people are here and three stand out from the rest. We make our way to the table of misfits to say. Uncle Naruto and Papa are in a deep conversation about who knows what, Boruto and Uncle Itachi are both staring at the screens of their phones and Aunt Hinata is painfully aware of our absence.

“You’ve outdone yourself again Sakura. This is amazing.” The quiet voice of my aunt comes across the table and I see the familiar glow of my mother return.  Aunt Hinata is the polar opposite of her husband and son. She comes from a family like mine, manners and etiquette were engraved into her head at an early age. It took her father by shock when she married Uncle Naruto, but I don’t think any other woman could handle him.

Looking around the crowd I notice a group of people I’ve never seen before, they certainly aren’t Uchiha or Uzumaki related. The one that stands out the most is a man who appears to be the same age as me, his eyes locked onto my table examining us the same way. The speakers crack as my grandfather straightens his tie. I’ll have to ask about them later.

“Thank you all for coming. I’d like to thank my daughter-in-law for making all the arrangements and preparing a wonderful venue.” Smirking at his words I can’t help but feel like that was a direct insult to Madara.

“It seems that my time as CEO has come to an end. When I took over the company we were just a small corporation that was still trying to get deep roots. I’m proud to say that in my thirty years I’ve paved the way for the company. Now it’s my turn to pass the torch.” A wave of silence has taken over the yard, even Boruto is entranced by his words. I scoot on the edge of my seat in anticipation.

“The title of CEO comes with many responsibilities but requires a certain level of passion. If you are too timid, then your company with falter. If you are too head strong, then your company with stay stagnant. It’s because of these reasons why I have chosen my succorer, I have faith that he will lead Uchiha Corporation into the future. Sasuke Uchiha, my youngest son, will be acting CEO beginning Monday morning.” I can’t help but snap my head over to my father and smile at him in amazement. Cheering and applauds are heard throughout the back yard. In the background my grandfather dismisses himself and the real party beings. My mother is the first to rise from her seat and practically jump into my father’s arms.

“Congratulations Anata! You’ve worked so hard.” Displays of this nature are rare between my parents. Normally they are very reserved but tonight that’s been thrown out the window. I lean my head against Boruto’s shoulder and a yawn escapes my body. I’ve been up since dawn getting folders ready with Mama and researching the numbers on her hospitals.

“Don’t tell me you’re already tapping out.” I hear Uncle Naruto snicker from across the table. A blush creeps across my face and I can’t help but shrug my shoulders. A hand rests against my shoulder and I see my father standing over me.

“I’ll walk with you to your room.” I nod and excuse myself from the table, squeezing our way through the crowd takes longer than anticipated. Everyone wants to speak with my father or take his photo, which he dismisses to stay focused on the current task. The house is quiet for once and I bend down to remove the unnecessary heels my mother bought for me. My father offers me his arm which I gladly accept as I lean close.

“Congratulations Papa.”

“Hn. Thank you Sarada. I wanted to speak to you about what you said at the dinner table.” I gulp whatever air I can and stiffen against him. My words were meant to anger Madara, not my father. At the top of the stairs he leads me into his study and motions for me to sit in the leather chair across from his desk. His hand extends a file out to me which I take reluctantly, cracking it open I skim over the cover page.

‘Sarada Uchiha- Vice President of Research and Development’

My jaw drops at the title and I hear my father chuckle at my reaction. I just graduated from school and now I’m being named Vice President…

“I’ve known for weeks that I was going to be named CEO. This was just the public announcement. Naruto and I have already signed the deal to merge our two companies, along with your mother’s hospitals and clinics.” I skim through the paper and see names of the employees that I will be in charge of. Some of them have worked for the company longer than I’ve been alive. How can I just walk in and be their boss?

“Your mother will be in charge of the Medical Division, Naruto will oversee the Technological Division, Itachi will be the Marketing and Human Resource VP. Sarada, your first assignment is to thoroughly break down the numbers and tell me where each individual company is at percentage wise. There will be a meeting on Friday to go over everything.” Good thing I already started going over the numbers with Mama, this is going to take forever but at least I have a team that can help me with week.

“May I ask who were those people were? They clearly aren’t related to either Uchiha or Uzumaki.” The boldness in my question just makes my father smirk even more before my uncles and mother come walking in. Seems we’re having an impromptu business meeting.

“They are business acquaintances. Danzo is an old Vice President and was hoping that Fugaku would name one of his employees as CEO.” Naruto says nonchalantly before pouring himself a glass of scotch, another rare indulgence for the man.

“It doesn’t mean we can take them lightly. His daughter is an investor in my clinic and a highly skilled nurse.” The tone in my mother’s voice is completely foreign to me, it’s almost harsh. Uncle Itachi told me when I was in college that my mother is ruthless when it came to business. Now I can see that is the utmost truth.

“Danzo is the one we should be watching out for. When he learns that Sarada is a VP he may pull all funding completely.” Uncle Itachi stands at the doorway to voice his concern, probably keeping an eye out for the unwanted guests. My father takes the second glass from Naruto and I watch as he drinks the strong liquid.

“When does the merger take effect?” The voices around me stop and I look at the two men sternly. Uncle Itachi is concerned that we’ll lose funding, but how is that possible if we are gaining more than what we are losing.

“Monday Morning.”

“Looking at it from a business stand point, it does help to have as many investors as possible but with this merger it isn’t necessary. If we consolidate our staff and our locations then we can stand to lose a few without seeing any effect in the bank.” There’ s more to it but without having all the numbers I can’t be so certain. This was the part of business I craved, knowing the numbers and being able to calculate each move precisely in order to gain profit and recognition.

“She has a point Sasuke-kun. We’ve been trying to figure out how to get rid of that old man for years.” Mama’s voice is still stern but I can tell that she’s working the numbers as well.

“Monday morning we will discuss all of this, but Sarada you are correct. We can afford to cut ties with numerous investors without feeling the loss. For now we need to be silent about the merger, only the five of us know.” Papa takes another sip of his drink signaling the end of the conversation, my brain still wrapping around idea of being a VP at 21. My legs shake slightly before I make my exit from the room.

“Thank you. I won’t let you down.” I smile proudly at my father before exiting through the door, I see Boruto leaning against my bedroom door. The closer I get I notice that he’s ripped his tie off and has it scrunched up in his hand. Honestly I’ve never been so relieved to see him, he’ll be able to take my mind off of the overload of information and help me relax. Smiling weakly I turn the doorknob and collapse onto the large bed gaining a laugh from the blonde.

“Seems you’ve had a long day. Wanna ditch this place?” If only escaping from this was possible, although getting together with the old crew would be a fantastic idea. Springing up I look at him with a fire in my eyes and an idea forms in my head. If Itachi is so worried about losing an investor, I’ll just have to come up with something better to replace it with.

“Call the gang, tell them to meet us at the barcade. Oh make sure Mitsuki is there.” The trademark Uchiha smirk forms on my face as I move to rid myself of the skintight dress. I hope this plan works, because if it does we may just take our company up a notch.

This will be updated twice weekly if I have the time, if not it will be weekly. I hope everyone who read this enjoyed it!

do u have any fake dating fic recs?

Fake dating...

fake dating...

I can only think of two 😣 and one of them is mine 😕  I remember I wrote mine with the realization that I had never read a NaruHina fake dating AU, so, not much has changed since then.

The only other one I’ve read is that socmed I’ve been raving about:

“A Little White Lie” by Trinity (bakugousbby) - Rated M, High School AU, Socmed format, Ongoing. Hinata posts a picture of a boy to ward off her creepy stalker. The only problem? She chose the wrong boy.

If you don’t know how to read socmed format on Twitter, please see this post I made about how to find the threads!

And then the one that I wrote is “Undercover” - Rated E, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. Naruto and Hinata join the Twelve Guardian Ninja of the Land of Fire's Daimyo.  But not really.  Their mission is to smoke out the rat among them who's selling political secrets to insurgents, while making sure the other Guardians don't figure them out.  Neither can tell when their acting became so convincing.

I’m sorry for this disappointing list.  If anyone knows of a fake dating AU, please let us know it 🙏🏼🙇🏻‍♀️

Edit: I just saw that trinity has another fake dating AU!  I didn’t get to read it yet, though.

“pas de deux” by trinity (bakugousbby) - Rated T (?), Modern/Celebrity/Ballet AU, Socmed format, Complete (?). After being caught in a compromising position, lead singer naruto and ballerina hinata are forced into a fake relationship.

[bunny-hoodlum]

NaruHina Fic Concepts IDK when I'll ever get to:

Age Difference one-shots

20yo!Naruto/31yo!Hinata (leaning towards Hinata being a Landlady. Maybe Naruto is a college student that just moved in. Or maybe he's a squatter that catches her by surprise when she's doing a showing of the apartment, and then suddenly cancels, to the annoyance of her prospective tenants. And so as to not get him in trouble with police, she makes an arrangement with him and helps him get his life together. So one standard romance route and one that's pretty much genderbent Higehiro lol).

My "Jealousy" story expanded

A "during the timeskip" short stories series (only 2 good ones so far)

14yo!Hinata gets isekai'd into a Modern AU and Naruto is 20yos. They go on a road trip to try and get her back home. She plays off his assumption that she is a runaway who regrets leaving home in order to spend more time with him than she deserves, all because she was missing her own Naruto so badly. (I had a fic like this from Naruto's perspective but then deleted it twice and wrote Powerless in its place, because it wasn't working. Probably better to write it from her POV instead. Still thought if Hinata had enough chakra to perform ninjutsu in front of a normal Naruto that it would freak him out and be really interesting, but alas. Also she needs to conserve her chakra or she can't return home. Idk if in such a situation her chakra would fail to naturally resupply or not, but the obvs the stakes would be even higher if she couldn't.)

KonoGakuenDen!Hinata's love letter travels between dimensions and lands at 15yo Naruto's feet while he's still training with Jiraiya. (Has this been written? I just thought of this one).

Modern AU: Hinata's family runs a seaside inn and Naruto is a regular patron. She assumes his female friends are his girlfriends and that she has no business wanting to be wanted by him. (Loosely and indirectly inspired by "Goodbye Tsugumi" by Banana Yoshimoto)

Genderbent AUs

This is an oldie from 2010? Modern AU, RTN!Hinata is disowned from her family after trying to protect Hanabi from RTN!Neji. She sleeps around with other women who provide her a place to stay, eventually falling in love with Naruko who is also equally promiscuous. The next day Naruko is nowhere to be found, but there's a male lookalike cooking breakfast in the kitchen. Naruko never told her she had a male twin and Hinata's acquired hatred/distrust of men causes a lot of conflict between the two of them. (NaruHina = enemies to friends to lovers. I would make it NaruHinaNaruko but maybe that's actually weird, idk haha).

Another one I did a huge sketchdump on back in 2010: Modern AU, everyone canon but Naruko. Didn't even have a plot for this. Just wanted to write about a soft butch!Naruko chasing after the seemingly unattainable Hyuga Hinata. 😆

Secret Lovers AUs

Story No Longer Available: Okay, I originally wanted to write my own separate version of my Foster Sibling AU to be where they actually try dating in secret during High School, but I'm letting that idea go and hoping another excuse-- I mean premise comes to me. I'm still trying to write the Foster Sibling AU in adherence to the incomplete Secret Santa plot, so that version is still going to be a thing.

I guess this counts as Fake Dating as well, and I may have written a post about this last year already: Modern AU, Sakura, Ino and Hinata are on Summer break from college in the capital and roadtripping to visit Sasuke and Naruto in a coastal city. Naruto still likes Sakura, Hinata is still faintly interested in Naruto, etc. Sakura catches a cold during the trip and the 4 of them go have fun in another city without her. A regular daytrip concludes rauceously with drunken karaoke and a round of Punishment Games (aka Betting and the loser has to do this or that). When Hinata loses and has to make-out with Sasuke, the context somehow gets rewritten in Naruto's inebriated head and he thinks they have the hots for each other. All of a sudden he stops caring about getting with Sakura, and adopts a dogma to protect Hinata's virtue. The only way he decides he can do that is if he is the one dating her.

High Fantasy AU

Naruto is the half-blood son of The Captain of the Royal Guard and a Pagan Witch (the isle of Uzushio was obtained through conquest, their people assimmilated and seemingly tolerated by the Court, but otherwise distrusted by the common folk. An Uzushio Resistance Army hides in secret and are wanted by the Kingdom). The Uchiha are Wood Elves who used to serve the Kingdom but were betrayed and exiled. They only roam at night to trade with the Dwarves of Iron Kingdom. Sakura is a human travelling with her Venture-motivated Father and henpecking Mother. They settle in with the Dwarves in an Outpost town where her father has accepted a job. Sakura, being bookish and brainy, has no chance of fitting in with the brawny Dwarves. She eventually abandons her true self to prove her mettle, and when she shows off strength in the only way Dwarves care about, she's heartily accepted. Back at the Leaf Kingdom, Naruto's Knighthood training has only been going downhill since he began. When his flaring temper unleashes powerful magic and injures one of the boys harassing him, he's banished. Minato asks Kakashi to accompany his son into the wilderness, where his journey brings him to Sakura and then Sasuke. The Hyuga are High Elves and their first born Hinata is approaching her Coming of Age Ceremony. Royalty from all realms have been invited to attend. Naruto and his companions have by now fashioned themselves into a ragtag group of mercenaries. Knowing that his parents will be at the ceremony, Naruto worms his way into a bodyguarding job for an Acting Troupe that will perform in front of Royalty. He falls for the beautiful High Elf Hinata and attempts to visit her in her chambers. (I have 2 ideas for which way the plot could go. Ugh. Either she is married off to Toneri, or she has to devote the rest of her life to praying in front of the tree that seals away Kaguya. Either way, Naruto chooses to convince her to say 'fuck that' to her obligations, and when she gives in, a dark prophecy is fulfilled. And yadda yadda yadda, Hero's Journey and stuff).

That feels like everything I ever thought of. 😅 I can't be sure if I'm missing another Secret Lovers/Fake Dating concept, but oh well. I feel pretty satisfied with this list.

[dayseternal-blog]

Hi Days! I'm a huge fan of your work and your tumblr blog bc you give so many naruhina fanfic recs and talk about your stories, etc.

To sum it up, you're my favorite person lol, I'm a bit shy so I'm asking this as an anon, but I wanted to tell you something random just because I've always just thought about it and maybe you would agree or comment on it.

Have you ever listened to mitski? If you haven't I recomend you do bc she's amazing, but anyways I was listening to a song of hers called "washing machine heart" and it reminded me of naruhina, like the fic "together you and I" but different you know, like naruto only married hinata because he couldn't have sakura, she was his second option and every time he looked at her he wished and pretended it was Sakura, so Hina tries her hardest to look pretty and try to be the person he wants, always getting saddend by the idea that she isn't the one he wants, she knows his heart will only belong to Sakura. She let's him trample all over her heart and use her because she loves him unconditionally, maybe cry to her on some nights because he longs for Sakura's love that will never come.

I've read so many fanfics and I've never encountered one using this concept, I'd write it myself, but I'm not good at writing, maybe I'm reaching but it could inspire an angst story made by you or just a prompt or idea/concept for anyone to use. The hurt in this could be inmaculate and I bet a good writer could bring everyone to tears if they read a story like this. You don't have to do anything ofc I'll love you either way, I'm not meaning to push you to write a whole story with this concept by any means or to even post this ask, it's just something I made up/ related to this certain song, so I wanted you to see it, perhaps share your opinion or thoughts on it or just think about it. I love pain a lot hahaha bc I'm not a narusaku shipper in any way, I actually dislike the ship a lot.

Thank you for reading this and pls keep up the awesome work!! I'll always be a fan and support you and your spectacular writing❤️❤️

GAH What an awful fic idea you have 💔

“The Ring that Binds” by softwind - Rated M, Canon-Divergent, Multi-chapter, Incomplete.  Naruto and Hinata are married.  So why is Naruto calling “Sakura” in his sleep?

“Girl No 10″ by meeiwen - Rated M, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. Naruto makes a mistake with a dancer one drunk night.  Years later when he meets her again, he begins realizing his perfect life is a lie, but he’s too late to fix it.

And

“Territorial” by @bunny-hoodlum - Rated M, High school AU, Multi-chapter, Complete.  When Hinata takes advantage of Naruto’s desperation for love, they’re both a little too much for the other to handle.

Are similar to what you have there.

HERE’S MY VERY QUICK AND INCOMPLETE STAB AT YOUR PROMPT IT’S UNEDITED UNREVISED CANON-DIVERGENT AU RATED T FOR LANGUAGE BUT I HOPE YOU LIKE WHAT I COULD COME UP WITH 😘  THEY ARE NOT MARRIED BECAUSE I WOULD BE TOO SAD

...

Naruto finally makes it to the Hokage’s office, having had trouble shaking off fangirls on his way.  He can immediately tell he’s the last one there, even though it’s the eve of the Rinnegan Festival.  Tense expressions greet him, the atmosphere somber.

Sakura whips her attention back to the desk before them.  “Rokudaime, with all due respect, I don’t think Naruto belongs on this mission.”

Her behavior has confused him all night.  First moving away from him so that Hinata would sit between them at Ichiraku when Hinata could have just sat on the other side of him.  Then pushing him to follow Hinata back home.  He said aloud that he’d be seeing her later, and that he wanted to catch up with everyone first, but Sakura just glared at him...

She’s been pushing him away, more and more every day, breaking his heart to smaller and smaller pieces...whether knowingly or not, he’s not sure about that, but she’s never rejected him from being her teammate on a mission.

Worried, he meets Kakashi’s gaze.

“I understand your concern, Sakura.”  His tone is heavy.  His usual careless attitude nowhere in sight.  “Call it just my gut-feeling...you’re going to need Naruto’s strength for this mission.”

-

Hanabi was kidnapped.

Hiashi and Hinata are nowhere to be found.

“What do you mean...?” Naruto finds himself asking.  “I just saw her.  We just saw her.  Not even an hour ago.”

“When Sai reported Hanabi’s kidnapping, believe me, Naruto, we moved to notify her family immediately.  Anbu can’t find them.”

“What?”  The last memory he has of Hinata abruptly leaving dinner and running off without hardly a word nags at him, inexplicably tightening his chest.  “She’s fine.  Hinata’s strong.  She can take on anybody.  No one would dare-”

“Naruto,” Sakura interrupts, her gaze cutting sharp.  “She’s nowhere to be found.  And as much as you believe that, no one is invincible.  Not even Hinata.  We need to form a plan, otherwise we’re losing precious time.”

“No one is invincible.  Not even Hinata.”

An emptying numbness invades his insides, discomforting slickness muting him.

This isn’t his fault, is it?

-

What if she needed to tell him something?

She was acting strange at Ichiraku.

Quiet, unusual for her as of recent...

But how was he supposed to notice?  Should he have followed after her, like Sakura said?  But they were supposed to meet at his apartment later on anyway, so why did she have to come out early like that and ruin the good time he was having?  She knows how he hasn’t given up on Sakura.

She knows everything about him.  She’s been his rock after Sakura tried to shut him down for good.  So how can it be that she’d just disappear?  There’s no way.

There’s just no way that she disappeared right after she left...

-

Hours.

Hours of wandering around in abandoned, desolate, war-stricken villages in god-knows-where, and nothing.  No one.

He’s asking for the hundredth time, but he doesn’t care, he’s past the point of desperation, and anxiety-laced tension fills the air.  “Taku, you really don’t see anything?!”  The Hyuuga they have on their team led them into this godforsaken wasteland.

Taku turns on him aggressively, getting in his face in reaction, and yells, “What about you??  You think I’m not trying my best?!  This is my family!  Just because you’re Hinata’s boyfriend doesn’t mean you’re any more worried than the rest of us!  You don’t sense her??”

No.  He doesn’t.

His Sage Mode has never been so useless.  In fact, he senses no one besides them in this place, and it’s with terrible unease that he begins to entertain the thought that she’s gone for good.

“There’s no one even here besides us!  Nothing!  Why’d you take us down here?  Where are we even?!  How do we get out of here in the first place?!” he argues back.

“Sakura-san was right!  You don’t belong on this mission!  I don’t know what Hinata-sama could ever see in you, I haven’t seen her smile in months!”

“What do you mean by that?!  She smiles all the time!  I’ve never seen her act so cheerful in my life!”

“So you fucking know it, too!”  Taku glares at him with an incredulous expression.  “That she’s just acting!”

“What the hell do you mean by that-”

And he doesn’t know what happened next, but Sai’s grabbing onto Taku and he himself is locked in Shikamaru’s shadow manipulation.  Chakra’s sparking off his own hands, while blue embers warp along Taku’s.

“Calm down,” Shikamaru orders both of them.  “We’re not getting anywhere if the two of you keep fighting.”  He waits for Taku to loosen his stance.

Sai lets go of him.

Taku throws an insulting glare around before sauntering off.

Shikamaru sighs.  Hard.  “Go cool your head, Naruto.”  He retracts his shadow, and Naruto wastes no time walking off in the opposite direction, far from wherever Taku is heading.

Yet Taku’s ridiculous words ring in his head.  “That she’s just acting.”

But she said that she’s happy to be with him.  That she doesn’t mind that he’s still in love with Sakura.  She said that she’s just happy to be with him.

She said that.  She did.  And she wouldn’t lie to him, right?

She was just acting?

“You’re not going to finish your ramen?” he asked her on their date last month.

“No...”  Suddenly, she smiled brightly, something she’s been doing more often ever since he mentioned that he’s always liked how genki Sakura is.  “Do you want the rest of mine?  I’m dieting.”

He scrunched his eyebrows at her.  “Dieting?  Why?”

“Well...”  She looked thoughtful for a moment before seeming to come to a decision.  “Naruto-kun, you like thin girls, right?”

He knew she was talking about Sakura.  “...I guess...”

“I want to make you happy,...” she started.  She bit her lips for a hesitating moment before continuing, “so I’ve been trying to lose a little weight.”

“Oh.”  He didn’t know what to make of that.  Unbidden, he looked her over. 

“Can you tell?” she asked, her characteristic shyness lowered her lashes, yet she didn’t fidget under his examination, and he could tell how she was trying her best to have that confident persona he admires in his former teammate.

Despite her recent changes in attitude, Hinata’s still been so physically small compared to himself and everyone else.  Under her jacket, he couldn’t tell if she looked skinnier or not, and even if she was, he doesn’t think she really needed to be skinnier.

But then she looked up at him with that heavy, hopeful weight in her gaze, and he couldn’t let her down.  Not when she’s trying so hard for his approval.

He fibbed easily.  “Yeah.  You look really good.”

She shined another smile at him that made him feel good.  Even if their relationship wasn’t traditional, he could at least still make her happy.  He could at least tell her some sweet words and see her sweet smile and-

She was lying.

She wasn’t happy?

He never made her happy?

Then what was the point of any of it?

No, she must have been happy, right?!  She said so!  She told him so!  Many, many times!

After all, he asked her.  All of those times he thought she was faking her smile, he asked just to make sure, and she vehemently told him that she was really happy to be with him.

She said he could talk to her about all of it.  That she could take on his heartbreak because her feelings were so much bigger than...

“Uzumaki Naruto.”

The unfamiliar voice has him leaping to his feet.

A man as pale as a ghost with piercingly icy eyes is floating down to him on some strange platform.  “You’re really as pitiful as I expected.”

“Who the hell are you?!”  He readies his stance.  He’s not in any mood for games, and he’s ready to let loose some of his stress on this very suspicious character.

“Hinata’s fiance.”

“Hinata?!”  Fire races through his veins, heating his feet, and he’s ready to leap at this guy.  “Where is she?!”

“With me.”

His heart rate exponentially explodes, beating into his ears, his skin practically bristling.  “Let her go,” he demands, and the threat of his words leaks from every pore of his being.  “Now.”

The man almost snorts.  “What makes you think she wants to see you?  You only ever used her, broke her...”  His collected expression hardens, and Naruto can sense that he has no intention of releasing her.  “I’ll make her happier than you ever could.”

Several thoughts fly too quickly through his mind to properly process any of it, leaving only residual uncertainty and that deepening sense of his culpability in her sudden disappearance.  But he doesn’t linger on the unpleasant sensations.  “What the fuck do you know?!”  And he’s charging at him, a Rasengan heavy in his hand.

The enemy is far more powerful than he appeared, immediately blowing him back with some kind of focused chakra.  “Weak, pathetic.”

“GIVE HER BACK!”  He replicates himself a dozen times, each of them throwing Rasenshurikens at the man.

Yet more of that strange yellow chakra protects him.  He’s unscathed even under his shadow clone onslaught.  “No.  I gave her a choice, and she came with me.  I’m just here to get rid of you, take revenge against you for her sake.”

He hardly comprehends the nonsense spewing out of the enemy’s mouth, and he rallies his clones into close combat, but the man manages to avoid many of the attacks while landing hits of his own.

Clones poofing away only to be replaced by more, frustration and fury starting to blind him into sloppier and sloppier moves.

“I love Hinata.  That’s why I deserve her.”

He chokes on his own breath, and in his momentary loss of concentration,...

He’s falling.

------------------------*

aaannnnd that’s as far as I want to go with that.  Imagine the rest of the team arriving in time to notice Toneri making his escape toward the sky, and I guess the rest of the story would sort of follow the rest of The Last...Naruto self-reflects a lot in a bundle of depression for a long time and yeah.

...ahhh...  I encourage you to write the fic you want to see in the world ❤️

[dayseternal-blog]

do you happen to have a list of NaruHina story ideas/prompts that you're planning to develop in the future? or maybe just stored away for safekeeping? if so do you mind sharing your most favourite/creative ones! just a curious fan passing by hehehe

😆 ahhh what an exciting question!!!!!  Yes!!  These are a few of my favorites in no particular order:

1. Pirate au based off of @shamyliciouss pirate au doujinshi  (Mature)

2. Mystery/College au, in which Sakura, Hinata, Ino, and Tenten are college roommates who solve mysteries at their school (while navigating their love lives) (Mature)

3. YouTube Stars au, in which Hinata is a singer and Naruto is a comedian, and they meet at a convention, hit it off, guest appear in each other’s videos, and start dating. (General) (based on @alexandralumetta‘s ask response)

4. Halloween au, in which Naruto and company go ghost-hunting at the most haunted locations in Konoha.  (Teen) (I actually started this one last year, but it’s not working out).

5. 1970s Pineapple Cannery au, in which Naruto & Hinata coincidentally both work the graveyard shift over the summer and catch the bus together. (General) (my self-indulgent dialect fic based very loosely off of my parents’ experiences, also started last year)

6. Beach au, in which Naruto and Hinata go on a beach date that’s pretty much entirely just foreplay for the main event at home 😏 lol (Explicit)

7. Fake Relationship canon-divergent au, in which Naruto and Hinata go on an undercover mission requested by the daimyo.  He requests for Konoha shinobi to pretend to join the Twelve Guardian Ninja because he suspects one or more of the Guardians are selling political secrets to insurgents.  Naruto and Hinata are sent, and through a little mis-communication, the rest of the Guardians think they’re in a relationship.  (Explicit)

8. Issun-boshi (”1-inch samurai”) folktale au, in which Naruto is really tiny but he dreams of being a warrior.  When he’s old enough, his caregivers let him go off on his own.  He requests to join the palace guard, and the emperor gives him to his lonely daughter Hinata as her “protector.”  (Explicit)

9. Rapunzel fairy tale au. (Explicit)

...If anyone is interested in seeing my Google Doc (82-pages long list of ideas, detailed story summaries, and some wips), then you can message me off anon or dm me!  

Obviously not all of my 52 ideas will get written TT.TT unless anyone wants to write one for me!  Any takers?  Anyone?  (Let me know, I just write fanfic because then I get to read the stories I want to see).
