#naruhina fluff

[opttagoyeo]

"Ah wait, Naruto-san." she pleaded, her voice sounded so desperate she thinks, but her blonde crush immediately turned his body as he heard her. His body facing towards her, and his chest so broad even at this distance that Hinata just secretly likes it a lot. Likes to appreciate the physical attributes that her crush have attained during his life.

It was nice. Hinata thought.

To call him like this, and give him the most important thing to start their day. It was astonishing that she could experience this occasion. She should relish this feeling, she knew she should be.

A gentle hm left his lips yet it struck the indigo-haired woman's heart, that's right now starting to thump a little louder than before. Her hands started to sweat, especially the right one, to relax herself a little bit..she found her pencil skirt to clutch onto to gather some strength, at least

May god help her to not mess this up or else-!

"Hinata-san?"

His voice snapped her out of her reverie, adding to her lists of embarrassment that she might just remember again tonight before she slept. She smiled timidly to him, as her eyes fluttered, gazing at him.

Yes.

She can do this.

It's quite easy, isn't it?

Hinata prepared herself, clenching her fists to calm her annoyingly loud heart that's quite stopping her from making a move from her crush. This was getting dragged on! She doesn't want to waste his time.

"Ano.. Naruto-kun..," she started, and then what now? What should she say next? Her eyes gaze downwards, finding some strength and then.. and then suddenly she stared back again to his azure eyes.

Those eyes she adored the most.

Quite frankly, it was hard not to get hypnotized by such beautiful eyes, but Hinata has some other stuff to focus on. "I want to give you this before you go, " her right hand immediately acted upon, finding something in her blazer's pocket and rummaging through it swiftly.

"Before I go? Okay!"

"Is it a candy or wha—" Naruto freezes right on his spot when he makes out what Hinata actually wants to give to him.

Her fore finger bends a little to meet her thumb, forming a heart shape. A finger heart, while her whole face is beaming with joy and love. Soft cheeks were stained by the usuals rosy pink yet it added to Hinata's cute charm.

"My heart." she finished it with a wink that can make even a blue haired pale skinned man blush and faint!

Naruto froze in his position, jaw slacked with his eyes wide. Earning some weird glance from the people walking. It took him some minutes to gather himself, dumbfounded at this sudden move from his co-worker. His mouth felt too dry for now, not trusting his voice to come out and question Hinata, what the hell just happened?

She however is almost near malfunctioning, her face so red it can rival Sasuke's favorite tomatoes he always ate every hour, every minute and every seconds. Her hands were already on her side, trembling furiously. "GoodbyeNaruto-kun!" She then dashed immediately in the opposite direction, leaving Naruto on his own, in the middle of the hallway leading to the floor's elevator.

Wh-what's that?!

His right hand then covered his face, before crouching unconsciously on the ground.

My heart, her voice echoing on his damn mind. Soft timid voice that started to enamored him right away.

Hinata's heart, huh.

She's giving it to him, that recklessly?!

His face sets to a crimson color, the sound of his heart palpable even at a far distance. He mumbled to himself, "Why did I think it was so cute?!!"

Later that night, Naruto had barely any sleep because his mind continuously replayed what happened during the afternoon. Hinata's voice and face looming over his mind.

He's doomed.

Sing For You

Blurb:

Naruto and Hinata signed up for an entertainment agency, hoping to solve or just running from their lives issues. But there, they find another problem with their hearts!

[dayseternal-blog]

HI DAYSSSSS, I'm in dire need of a naruhina fic where nothing happens. Post war fluff and daily life, slow developing of their relationship and just kind of like a slice of life!! Thanks ilysmmm 🤍

Hello! It's been a long time since I answered any asks.

Here's one I haven't recommended before, though it's not particularly "slow" development imo.

"The In-Between" by Winterfly - Rated M, Canon-Compliant, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. A slow burn of interactions and eventual relationship between Naruto and Hinata. These moments are meant to take place “In-between” the main story line as the title implies, but also during the blank period. Of course we know Naruto and Hinata probably interacted besides what we have seen, so what would that look like? What’s going on outside the screen? What are they thinking and feeling? Why is everyone so frustrated with them when it’s so obvious what’s in front of them?

Here are most of the Blank Period pre-The Last fics I've recommended in the past.

“secret lovers” by @quirrrky - Rated T, Canon-Compliant, Series of related one-shots. After the Fourth Shinobi War, Naruto was gradually falling in love with Hinata and the whole village of Konoha knew it…Well, aside from him.

“Facing the Sun” by @happyocelot - Rated T, Canon-Compliant, Multi-chapter, Complete. Hinata had been watching Naruto for years. What she didn’t know was that Naruto would sometimes watch her back. Post-War.

“To match our strides” by Stonehill - Rated T, Canon-Compliant, Multi-chapter, Complete. During the first winter after the war Naruto decides it’s time to figure out Hyuuga Hinata.

“Itsu No Hi Ni Mo” by OrenjiRabenda - Rated T, Canon-Compliant, Multi-chapter, Complete. No Matter the Day: The story follows Naruto and Hinata during the blank period between the end of the war and “The Last: Naruto The Movie”.

“Tsukuyomi Boyfriend” by @peppercornpresses - Rated G, Canon-Compliant, One-shot. Over a year has passed since the great Shinobi War, and people are finally starting to open up about their Infinite Tsukuyomi Illusions.

“Doppleganger” by peppercorpress - Rated T, Canon-Compliant, One-shot. Team 8 meets Naruto’s doppleganger (but not really).

“Something New” by waterrolls​ - Rated G, Canon-Compliant, One-shot. Can a clueless boy ever figure out romance? Maybe, and definitely not without the help of friends who have the couple’s best interests at heart. Or, how Naruto and Hinata got their changes in uniforms.

“the becoming of stars” by @matchaball - Rated G, Canon-Compliant, One-shot. You have me. Until every last star in the galaxy dies. You have me. (Pieces of their life from childhood to adult)

"Mission Together" and Chapter 12 from "Orange and Lavender" by ReadingBennie - Rated T, Canon-Compliant, Series of One-shots. A collection of one shots for Naruhina month 2016. Ratings will vary.

“Once and Future” by @kuriquinn - Rated T, Canon-Compliant, Series of One-shots. In the wake of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the survivors pick up the pieces . The road to recovery will be a long one, but the moments in between offer ample chances to reclaim some of their childhood innocence. Feelings connect, friends renew bonds and hearts say goodbye in this series of connected one-shots from the Blank Period. (Light shipping of various pairings)

I think this next one is kind of pushing the boundaries of canon-compliance, but a lot of people love it (I do, too) -

"My Right Hand" by petran - Rated T, Canon-Compliant, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. As Naruto struggles to deal with life as an amputee, he becomes much closer to a certain lavender-eyed kunoichi. Canonically set in the time period between the end of the 4th Shinobi War and "Kakashi Hiden".

If anyone knows of others, please add on!

NaruHina Month Day 14 Prompt: Pain Arc

No idea how this ended up in this slot but oh well, lmao.

AO3 Wattpad FF.net

[martialartslover7]

NaruHina - "Burden" by Citizen Soldier

I think you say sorry too much, I think you got issues with trust

From the voices in your head that say that you're too hard to love

I think you still live with the ghost of people you needed the most

That let you down and taught you how to keep your closet door closed

But I've been there and I would rather die (would rather die)

Than watch you drown in tears that you need to cry ...

You can talk, you can talk to me I can tell that you're not okay

You can spill your guts, I won't leave You are not a burden to me

You can talk, you can talk to me Even down in your darkest place

You can let your skeletons scream You are not a burden to me

You arе not a burden to me

Here is the song, for those, who want to look at this post, in chronological order, and in-synch with the song.

Some NaruHina fluff, every once and a while. The orange text is to signalize: Naruto is speaking to Hinata, through the lyrics. Yup, get the tissues for this one.

　　　 　『𝗦𝗔𝗦𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗞𝗨🍅🌸 』

+ Narusakusasu [platonic]

Sakura watched Naruto and Sasuke out of the corner of her eye, sitting on the grass and taking inventory of her weapons and medical kit. Sasuke stood up when he saw his brother at the entrance to the training ground.

She and the blond turned their heads in his direction and Itachi greeted them with a simple nod, which they returned.

“Tomorrow, same time?” the Uchiha asked.

“I'm always up for kicking your ass! Count me in!”

He snorted, “As if.”

“Sorry guys, I'll pass this time. Shishou gave me a mission.”

"You're leaving without us!? We're your teammates, baa-chan can't do that!"

Here we go again.

Sakura rolled her eyes.

“If you want to come with me to Kumo, you're welcome, but you'll get bored. I'm only going there to help them with their medical unit.”

Sasuke paused and turned to her, “Are you going to see that white-haired moron again?”

“Ewww sakura-chan! I thought you'd moved on. Did he say anything to you? Is that why you're really going? You want me to beat the shit out of him?!”

“Shut up, both of you! And Sasuke, stop it. You've never been able to stand Omoi and I've never understood why. As for you Naruto, I'm not a damsel in distress and I don't need you causing a diplomatic incident, thank you very much!” Her temper was already flaring. They could be so annoying sometimes. As if she needed someone to meddle in her life.

“He fights with a katana.”

“So?” She arched an eyebrow.

“You already have a man with a katana in your life, you don't need another,” he replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Sakura was torn between exasperation and tenderness. Sasuke had always been possessive of Team 7, even over trivial things.

“You, I swear...”

Naruto snickered beside her. “He told me something similar when I befriended Killer B.”

“I don't know what you see in those Kumo ninjas. The ones from Konoha are much better.”

Sakura and Naruto exchanged a knowing glance and turned as one to their teammate, “We love you too.”

Sasuke blushed in embarrassment, then frowned, glaring at them. “Damare, baka!”

They laughed at their friend's annoyance as he left them to join his brother. They followed his silhouette until he disappeared, then Naruto turned to her.

“Oi, when do you think Teme will realize he's in love with you?”

Sakura scoffed: “when did you realize Hinata was in love with you?”

Naruto choked: “HINATA IS WHAT?!”

Sakura's thunderous laugh was his only response.

That same day, Naruto and Sakura agreed on a plan of action; It was time for Sasuke Uchiha to claim what he wanted, and if the woman he loved had to trick him to do so, well.... She was tired of waiting, and after all, he was hers just as much as she was his.

preview.

of course hinata gets sick.

hinata curls deeper into his lap, whimpering softly. naruto runs his fingers through her scalp, a sorrowful expression furrowing his eyebrows and turning his lips downwards. she coughs, then apologizes, then coughs again until she can barely breathe. at that point, naruto leans to grab the glass of water sitting on her nightstand, handing it to her immediately as she flies upright, nearly making herself dizzy. 

unlike naruto, hinata is going through the worst of it. the congestion, the dizziness, the coughing. before his arrival, she had been under the tender care of hanabi, who greeted him excitedly and sighed with relief at the entrance of the estate. “I thought you’d never get here.”

hinata’s lower lip had trembled at the sight of him bounding into her room, having heard him and her sister talking just outside, having felt him as soon as he reached the estate.

she croaked his name, “narut -” but coughed into her pillow and clutched her chest.

“oh, hina…” it took him no time to reach her, pulling her up into his arms. “I’m here. kami, look at you! I feel so bad.”

“m-me too,” she mumbled into his shoulders, clutching his back. “I only regret it a little bit.”

he laughed weakly, cupping the back of her head with a tender cusp. “ya sure it’s not a lot?”

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Naruto Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Gaara/Hyuuga Hinata, Hyuuga Hinata/Uzumaki Naruto Characters: Hyuuga Hinata, Gaara (Naruto), Uzumaki Naruto Additional Tags: Angst, Romance, But mostly angst, Missed Chances, Unrequited Love, some requited Summary:

“When she looks back up, eyes wide, his subtle plea ushering a taut quiet between them, she finds he is already moving to stand, and before she can mourn anything more, her cup clatters to the table, tea spilling in a fine arc, and she – she is already gone.” - Hyuuga Hinata, Sabaku no Gaara, Uzumaki Naruto. The loved and the leaving, from root to sky.

❤️❤️❤️

I loved this fic. It's expertly written and deals with unrequited love both from Hinata as well as Naruto. The author is a lovely person but sadly, nasty people have been leaving horrible reviews, even insulting those who commented and the author. 

Even if this pairing isn't your thing, maybe show the author some love?

I want them to know there's still good out there.

Fanfic you ve been reading recently? Love your tastes btw!

:) You sent this months ago, but here are the fics that I've been reading recently, like this August/September:

"The Mission" by Lunawrayth - Rated M, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. It wasn't that Hinata never expected to work with Naruto, just never on a mission quite like this.

-I check this one for updates so often. at least once a week, but more like multiple times a week.

"thus a silenced memory" by @keroppri - Rated T, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. Eight years flown on by and Naruto makes his return to the city where he once fell in love, only for him to leave hollow and broken after she was persuaded to leave him. Plagued by her memory at every corner, a chance meeting changes fates, minds, and hearts. Thus he tries to silence the memories. Inspired and based on Jane Austen's Persuasion.

-ahhh loving the yearning angst of unrequited love (but it's actually requited) in this fic.

"Amaranthine" by @opttagoyeo - Rated T, Various AU, Series of unrelated one-shots. A few drabbles/ideas ranging from fluff, confusing, humor, and angst regarding the most iconic and popular canon couple of Konohagakure, Naruhina.

-just started reading this! Full of cuteness.

"After Office Hours" by Pandora_Imperatrix - Rated M, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. Naruto is lonely after Sakura and Sasuke left the village to travel together, he keeps leaving the office later and later, things start to change after one night when his secretary Hinata and him share a couple of vending machine beers. In this AU Naruto becomes Hokage a lot earlier than in the manga and The Last never happened.

-It's been years since this was updated, and recently Pandora updated and just finished it!!!!!!

"Friends with benefits" by @pastillesch - Rated T, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. "I'm dumping you" --Naruto blinked once. Twice. "But we're not even together". It was more a stress relief than anything romantic, really. A hobby one would say. And now it was time to search for a new hobby. Or at least a new partner for this kind of hobby.

-Another one that I was super excited to see updated again!!!!

"Casual Touches" by Lunawrayth - Rated M, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. It's the casual touches that do it.

-Since I'm really feeling Luna's style, I checked out this story, too, and it's super cute. Love it.

"Fairy Tale" from "NaruHina Erotica Oneshots" by @makuro767 - Rated E, Fantasy AU, Two-shot. Naruto moved to an old family home to start anew and found an unlikely existence in his backyard...

-I am a total sucker for this type of size difference au. Like, it's just such a weird trope. It's just so weird. I love it. Makuro767 does a wonderful job with it!

"Love Is Not A Cage" by @nightowl27-writer - Rated E, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. When Naruto comes back to his senses after the battle with Pein, the first thing he remembers are those baffling words she said just before she nearly died for him, and he NEEDS to hear them again. Will the truth set them free? Or are some confessions too much for the soul?

-that recent update killed me. In a good way. but oh man.

"Hinata (Mirror, Mirror)" from "Chicken Ramen for the Pervert's Soul" by @wickermayne - Rated E, Canon-Compliant, One-shot. Naruto rolled his eyes at the purchase asking why she needed it and complained about how much room it took up, but Hinata enjoyed modeling different dresses in front of it, loved how it let her see all the many different angles. And that seemed to keep Naruto quiet enough about the mirror.

-🙊🙈🔥

So, I guess it's been months since I worked on this list. Because it's nearing the end of March 2024 now. And up at the top, apparently I was last working on this list in September 2023. And at that time, it had been "months" since the asker sent this. Well, here's the ones I've been reading recently:

"clash of possession - naruhina" by @powerful-niya - Rated E, Yakuza AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. In the heart of the yakuza underworld of Tokyo, the passing of Hiashi, the leader of the Hyūga clan, does more than just break Hinata's heart, but it exposes her to vulnerability. Seizing the opportunity, the ruthless Naruto, Uzumaki clan leader, targets not only the conquest of the Hyūga clan but also wishes to claim Hinata as his most prized possession, no matter the cost.

-It's been awhile since I read an irredeemable Naruto, and Niya's not lying when she calls the characterization ruthless!!

"Prey" by @sessakag - Rated E, Modern/Gangs AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. Following a midnight chance encounter with Hinata Hyuuga, a smitten sociopath, Naruto Uzumaki, tries his hand at romance, determined to make her fall in love with him the only way he knows how.

-it's the mystery of Hinata's background that really fuels this piece for me. Icing on the cake is Naruto as a wonderfully sexy and dangerous stranger and the sexual tension between them that is absolutely exquisite.

"Paper Rings" by Its_Levioooosaa - Rated E, College/Soulmates AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. In a world where soulmates are found after a touch and after a brief moment of pain, resulting in a red loop circling the first knuckle of each person's pinky finger. Fating the two people together and leaving it up to them to decide what their relationship will be. Hinata had just stopped at her friends for a piece of pizza, little did she know that she'd be leaving with a soulmate.

-It's a cute premise and I can't wait to see what happens next! I love a good soulmate AU!

"Wanting More Than A Poolside View" by @bunny-hoodlum - Rated E, High School AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. Just a Sukumizu fetish scenario where Hinata is the target of a panty thief and recruits Naruto to investigate himself.

-I've been loving all of Bunny's updates this year, but I'm really hoping for an update on this one....or Narutoland haha, but I dunno what it is about High School NaruHina and their immaturity, it's just so fun!

Kay, that's all. If I don't post this now, I never will lol.

[shukakumoodboard]

HELLO 👋 I would like to know about (in any order that excites youuuuu)

Love (As Told Through the Medium of Last- Minute Grocery Lists)

Mercury Retrograde

AND/OR

Thread of deepest scarlet, heart of shining pearl

And TGOD obvi if you're not burnt out by that one lol no pressure for replying about them ALL but I'm here for the excited yapping. 👉😎👉

*waiting menacingly*

omg hello winkwonk

i can do these in order -- under the cut because i'm about to Talk For Tew Damn Long

mercury retrograde

ok mercury retrograde is a fic based on a really goofy premise called "what if i shit on all the canon pairings at once?" via the medium of gaalee fanfic. it's essentially a story told from all of the other konoha 12 POVs where everyone on earth is having relationship (or pining) problems except, apparently, gaara and lee, who (in the POV of non-overlapping people, so no one makes the connection) seem to have secret paramours that are perfect for them hooHA. some start pairs include sasusaku, naruhina, and inosai, and end pairs being sns, inosaku, kibahina, etc. shikatema and chokarui stick the landing but. i like them well enough xo

basically a fix it fic for all the endgame pairs As According To Gospel Me

behold! a snippetteptpetptp

Damn it, not only was her love life awful, but the weather was, too, and she didn’t have an umbrella! What was up with this week? Mercury must be in retrograde or something, she mused, slouching against the bark of the tree at the edge of training field one. She’d have to ask Tenten, she was an astrology nut, she’d know for certain. “Ino-san, what are you doing out here by yourself, it is raining!” Ino looked off to the side to find her unexpected hero of the hour, one Rock Lee, clutching a scroll to his chest with an umbrella in hand. “Suffering,” she said. “Oh dear. Is there any way I can help?” “Actually,” Ino said, eyeing the umbrella, “are you heading towards town? I didn’t know it was going to rain.” “I am!” Lee said, and held out the umbrella. Ino slid out from under the tree and joined him. They started walking, Lee asking polite questions about her day while Ino scrounged for a more interesting topic. Maybe she could use this moment to answer the questions Sakura had posed a few days ago? Her eyes settled on the scroll Lee held, his grip tighter on the still-rolled paper than Choji’s grip on his beloved chip bags. “What’cha got there?” Lee turned a brilliant pink and smiled hugely. “It is a letter from my precious one!” “Oh, who!?” Ino cried, hamming it up, just a little bit. She was curious. “That,” he said very seriously, “is a secret.”

Love (As Told Through the Medium of Last- Minute Grocery Lists)

so this one is the fic i've started to create for my FTH 2024 bid winner @chinesefirethorn <3

it's a series of alternating POVs developing a gaalee relationship through unintentional dates which are actually just various gaalees having to run errands -> inspired, actually, by the fact my partner, the colloquially-christened-by-gaalee-discord mr. bread, tells me every time we have to do long distance that he misses going grocery shopping with me. which is like. how dare u make me feel romantic about feckin' woolies actually. no snippets for this one but here's the extant tag list:

clown-to-clown communication

Grocery Store (Romantic)

5+1 Things or similar

Food as a metaphor for love

Gardening also as a metaphor for love

Tooth-Rotting Fluff, and

scenes of domestic bliss

note: currently this one is on hold because reg has been offline for a while and i want to write this one for her when she's around again so it's tailored to her. reg come back i miss u

thread of deepest scarlet, heart of shining pearl

The Grapes of Debauchery

gaara says "raw dog" out loud. the condoms are expired. lee nuts too early and panics about it. gaara's hungover. both of them WILL cry at some point. they've non-startered three times even im getting annoyed and im the author. just boink you clowns

here's a snippet from the next chapter, which is titled, to my absolute delight, Will You Two Please Just Drink Some F*cking Water:

Gaara stood and crowded into Lee’s space while he riffled through the drawer and yanked out a small, brightly coloured tube. “Lee, these are expired.” “Ex—huh?” Lee took the box and squinted at the date. Then he looked up, horrified. “I did not know they expired! I can um, go get—” “I don’t care,” Gaara said, taking the small bottle the lube Lee held from him. “I haven’t had sex with anyone, so unless you have some sort of genital illness—” “I do not!” Lee’s shout rattled the windows. Gaara winced.

truly i have achieved the pinnacle of yammertime, if ur still here holy sgat u are devoted and i lov u
