Chapter 12

Hinata was at the stove trying to fix dinner while Naruto was sitting at the table, seemingly lost in thought.

"Naru, pass me the salt please." No answer. "Naru, the salt." Still no response. Hinata turned off the heat and crawled under the table. Naruto felt something run up his legs and he jumped in his seat.

When he pushed his chair back and looked down he saw Hinata with a sly grin on her face fumbling with his belt.

"H-Hinata! What are you doing!?"

Hinata looked up at him and smirked. "You looked sad, so I'm going to cheer you up."

Naruto gripped the table and tried to scoot the chair away, but Hinata held it in place.

"H-Hey! Wait! Someone told me that we were acting a little too friendly in public and people were starting to talk about us!"

Hinata sighed and continued her work on his pants. "Who cares? Let them say whatever they want."

Naruto closed his eyes when he felt something warm and wet clasp over him. He breathed between his teeth.

"B-But we're siblings… Isn't it weird?"

Hinata tilted her head back for a breath. "It isn't weird. We're special after all."

Naruto tilted his head back. "Special? We're special?"

Hinata chuckled. "Aren't we? Unlike regular siblings, we've been apart for a really long time."

Naruto gripped the table, his hands shaking. "Yeah… I guess we are- Hinata!"
