Ghost of You (she's new here)

Himawari woke up tired.

She woke up feeling gross and sticky and more than a little hungry, but mostly she felt tired.

So when she was greeted with large dark circles under her eyes from the lack of sleep as she looked in the mirror, she wasn’t all that surprised. A little amused perhaps because of her almost exact resemblance to a raccoon (and her friend Shukaku) but not surprised.

baby pardon my french (but can you speak in tongues?)

Hinata took in her cheeky-looking kids with weary eyes, analyzing the trio as they stood in a line in front of her, purposefully, she knew, blocking the end of the hallway. There they stood with large grins, sparkling eyes, and their hands behind their backs, that plus the combination of their pajamas effectively made the three look adorable and suspicious all at the same time.

(And as much as she loved her kids, she didn’t feel like dealing with whatever horrific thing they managed to pull off that made them look like the kittens that ate the canaries at eight in the morning.) So, willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, Hinata gave them each a morning kiss on the forehead (which made their wicked grins turn to soft smiles) and went to the bathroom.

Burn The House Down

“I can’t believe this is what you’re worried about,” Naruto chuckled, his voice filling the room as he watched his wife pace back and forth in their living room that wasn’t actually, not really, their living room.

Hinata didn’t look up from her spot in the middle of the room as she tried her hardest to think, bringing her hands together to play with her wedding ring in a worried yet contemplative way.

Naruto watched her, her long dress following her gracefully as she went about the room. He stared at her face, finding the way her eyebrows came together as her nose would scrunch up like a curious little field mouse so adorable that he couldn’t help but smile despite the not house situation they had found themselves in.

A Few Bumps In The Road

"Himawari, don't get any closer," the voice was soft yet stern, cutting through the tense, thick air with its presence and she wanted nothing more than to be able to listen to its instructions. But she couldn't, not this time.

Not when she was so close to everything going back to normal.

With every part of her wishing she was somewhere else, she turned to her not-quite uncle with a humorless grin -- so reminiscent of her father in that moment that he took a step back -- she said, "Sorry Uncle Sasuke." She took a step forward, her eyes never moving from its targets.

"This is a sibling thing."

Do, do, do do do do!

"Sometimes I forget that we don't have triplets," Naruto starts, nonchalantly bringing his coffee cup to his lips as Hinata turned to him a brow raised and her nose scrunched in confusion.

Blinking at her dead-serious husband, Hinata decided to indulge in his craziness. (Even if she complained about it sometimes, they both knew that she loved it.) "And how's that?" she asked, taking a seat in front of him at the dinner table.

Did Someone Say Karaoke?

"Nothing better than a karaoke date to start the week, don't cha think, hime?" Naruto asked his wife with a smirk and a slight wiggle of his brows as they made their way to the karaoke place.

Hinata, who was walking beside the off-the-clock Hokage with her hand in his, responded with a playful roll of her eyes, trying to distract from the upcoming blush on her cheeks. Even after all these years together, Naruto could still find ways to make her blush like a school girl...

(And with all those years together came Naruto's beloved ability of being able to spot Hinata blushing from a mile away so, unfortunately, her troubles were for naught.)

i don't know who loves us more, me or the stars

Everything was perfect.

The sky was clear with not a single cloud in sight and the moon and the stars were shining brightly although there had been a light rain that afternoon, the grass and thus their picnic blanket was completely dry. The most important (and perfect) thing though was that Hinata looked incredibly kissable.

Unfortunately, Menma didn’t seem to think so because the perfectness of the night seemed to make him think that she wanted to discuss constellations and anything and everything about them instead of rolling around in the grass on their blanket together for some reason.

when i see your face (i can't think straight)

Sasuke rolled his eyes while Sakura giggled into her hand, their reactions to their best friend’s stupidity completely different as they watched Naruto slide down his locker onto the floor with a loving sigh, very much like a lovestruck schoolgirl.

“So,” Sakura started, sitting down in the space next to him. “What color was it this time?” she teased, already having a clue as to what color made him react this way.

Letting out another sigh, Naruto clutched his textbook to his chest (causing Sasuke to roll his eyes yet again), before he looked at Sakura with sparkling eyes. “Orange,” he said, dreamily, closing his eyes to think about the stunning smile that was flashed in his direction not even a minute ago.

i'd rather die than admit this (but i love you)

Hinata gently straightened the papers in her lap, making sure everything was in its place before she set them down on her lap once more. She held the folder close to her as she decided that she wanted to cross her legs, only to uncross them the second she placed her folder down. Ignoring the weird stares that she was getting from the person seated two chairs away from her, she picked up her papers to straighten them up again.

She paused in her tidying as the most aggravating voice in the world — and probably the universe — broke her concentration. “Pretty sure that they're not getting any straighter, Hyuuga,” the voice said with a sneer.

i want you and you don't want me (and that's okay)

Naruto stared deeply into his bowl of ramen as he stirred it around lazily, trying his best to tune out the whispered conversation his friends were trying to keep him from hearing. All in all, they were doing a great job, except for the fact that they were so clearly discussing the fact that Sai had found his soulmate during his first period that all it did was make Naruto sick.

Something that Shikamaru seemed to notice as he effectively shushed the group with a loud clear of his throat, successfully making them shut up and Naruto look up from his ramen cyclone in the same second.

secret stop starting fics with dialogue challenge 💀💃

i'm sure everyone's been tagged already but pls join in if you want to share first lines with us!!! and make sure to tag us pretty please 💘

[writing-until-i-drop]

Hi lovely!! Hope you’re doing well!

So the Hangman brain rot is at an all time high for me at the moment and your fics most definitely scratch that itch!!

Butttttt, I had this idea that I thought you’d be absolutely perfect at executing! Please be gentle this is my first time ever requesting anything 🥲

Anywho picture this if you will; reader is Bradley’s childhood best friend and is in town to visit him for the first time in yonks. She surprises him at the Hard Deck and it’s a cute lil reunion. And Jake being Jake, he sees the pretty lady with Rooster and takes it upon himself to intervene purely to get a rise out of Rooster. That’s how it starts anyway, but after talking to reader for awhile he’s absolutely smitten (which confuses not only the dagger squad but himself too) and so after they go back to his place and have some fun 👀 he’s actually wanting to see her again instead of it being his usual one and done type of thing.

I’m sorry if that doesn’t make sense but I’ve been rambling too long so I’ll leave it there.

Thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻
