Backstory: How Shino ended up getting dragged to Hinata's n_uzumaki January 2 2010, 01:39:12 UTC
Naruto had been baking, brewing and frosting for almost two days and with all the stress Neji was putting on Hinata about it being a family event he was too through. In a fit of pique he had called Shino and invited him over to get his take on the whole debacle. Also since Shino actually answered his phone and said he had nothing to do, Naruto figured it would suit his matchmaking mood to drag him along as his assistant. Hinata would be surprised and Shino may thank him later as well. As long as he didn't slug him first.

Finishing the elaborate icing on the second Yule log. Naruto heard the pinging of the doorbell. Taking the apron off that he had put on to keep from ruining his outfit and went to get the door. He was hopeful that if he couldn't talk Shino in coming for himself then he could talk Shino into coming for Hinata. Opening the door Naruto smiled easily at the other man ( ... )

'Three cups everclear! I’m not touching that.’ “Wait I must have missed something, why does Neji have an issue with you?” He watched closely as a variety of alcoholic products joined the everclear, “It seems to me if Hinata wants you there, then that should be enough. Her family shouldn’t cause trouble over who she chooses as a friend.” He fell silent wondering how he would be received if he were so lucky to actually date Hinata ( ... )

Shino grumbled, “I suppose I behaved foolishly.” Blushing crimson, he stood walking around the counter and grabbing two of the coolers. “We better get going we don’t want to keep her waiting, your car?” he followed Naruto’s directions. Making several trips into the house until the backseat and trunk were full of the baked goods ( ... )

Shino couldn’t think past pouty lips wrapped around a dainty pinky. He shivered eyes fixed on the decorative ornaments. The ballet slippers particularly amused him, he envisioned Hinata snuggled up in a pastel blanket cuddling the snowman he had given her, or maybe if he played his cards right, a nervous blush colored his cheeks. What should he worry about, she did like him right? According to Naruto at least, but also Hinata acted different whenever he was near her. Perhaps he should ask her directly, or at least see if his close proximity cause the expected reaction.

Then at least he’ll know if she’s really interested in him and not just being kind because some people he’s met actually treat him as if he’s ‘special.’ - a nonconformist. Shino recognized it as the way one would treat a person with limited intellect that is not aware of his or her own shortcomings. He shook his head brushing off the thought. As annoying as it is he has come to expect it from his coworker. And he pitied them for it; especially those stuck in their own ( ... )

And like a drug he wanted more of it. Something about Hinata would ‘fix’ what is wrong in his life, if only she wanted him as much as he wanted her.

“How’s your finger.” He asks peering over her left shoulder while slowly sliding his hands down her forearms. His long fingers mixed with the suds taking hold of the sponge. Then he mumbled as if at a loss for words. Finally, his rich voice uttered smoothly, “I can help with this...” his cheek pressed gently against hers. Of course, that was not the motive, he just wanted to be close to her; feel the softness that is the women. A smile threatened to reveal itself but being sober it refused to come forward. He wondered if she knew how happy she made him feel even when he couldn’t show it outwardly. “I like your home, it’s nice.”

Hinata jumped when she felt Shino behind her, gasping softly in surprise, though her hands stayed in the sink. Her sleeves were pushed up past her elbows, the heated spray on a low setting to keep from splashing her sweater as she hand-washed her new glasses, unwilling to leave the delicate stemmed glassware at the mercy of her dishwasher. Warmth and color rushed to her cheeks when he reached around her, the closeness of their bodies digging up memories of the feel of his body against hers while they danced. Her eyes closed, shaking herself of those thoughts before speaking, her voice softer than usual ( ... )

The blush coloring Hinata’s face brought forth the secluded smile. Shino moved closer his feet outside Hinata’s, his knee brushing against her leg. He smoothed his hand over her smaller one, thinking how wonderful the water feels. The heat spread up his shoulder and through his chest - quickening his heartbeat. He vaguely wondered if she could hear the sound of it, before the warmth spread south making him hold his breath. He released a content sigh pressing his chest to her back looking for and expecting a cold shoulder.

Shino gazed at Hinata's profile noticing how her mood seems to dip from a second before. I’m too close. To explain his closeness he reached up and adjusted the temperature cooling the water some ( ... )

The hyuuga men arrive hiashihyuuga January 4 2010, 07:26:23 UTC
The majority of the day seemed to just fly by, and if you asked Hiashi, he wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what he and his brother had done to spend most of it, but he was certain that it was one of the greatest days of his life. Every moment that he'd shared with Hizashi had been elating and by the time they'd loaded the gifts into the car both of their lips had been red and swollen from kissing and the words "I love you" had been uttered more times than he could count. Smiling at his lover as he eased the massive Bentley into gear, Hiashi didn't think there was anything that could ruin today. He'd even managed to pick up Hizashi's ring from the jewelers under the pretense of going out for more eggnog and had the gem safely tucked away in the pocket of his wool coat and was so eager to give it to his twin that he almost stopped the car right then and brought the octagonal, white box then and there, but managed to stifle his excitement and leave it for when they had the whole night left with just the two of them ( ... )

"No, you're not going to look like a diabetic in the slightest. You're going to look like a man who spent hours having amazing sex... Hinata... do you think she'll be quite angry with us?" Hizashi frowned, chewing on his thumbnail nervously. He loved his niece, she was a good girl, and the last thing he wanted to do was anger her at her Christmas party or drive a wedge between her and her father. They'd had a tumultuous enough relationship. The younger twin would feel pretty rotten if he was the cause of disconnect between them entirely. "I just want her to be okay with us. That's all. I know that Neji has begun to accept us for what we were, but I'm just a little bit unnerved... just a little bit ( ... )

"Hiashi, do you not see this?!" the younger picked up a small plastic baggie filled with a white powdery substance. Dipping his finger into the ziplock back, Hizashi brought the loose dust-like-in-consistency mystery product up to his lips, tongue darting out to taste it and confirm his suspicions. "...This is cocaine, Hiashi. I am absolutely not leaving my son all alone. There is five bottles of wine around him, and I've got about twenty more in my cooler in the kitchen! He might still be high for all we know! Look at it! Look at that motherfucking gingerbread castle!!" Hizashi yelled, pulling at his shoulder-length hair in exasperation as he rocked his son back and forth in his arms, Neji letting out a weak-sounding groan. "He's coming with us. I'm sure Hinata won't mind if we ask her if he can sleep off his hangover or high, whatever he is at the moment. Just... please don't make me leave him all alone ( ... )

Hizashi paused for a moment, and went over to one side of the gingerbread house, attempting to pick it up. His eyes widened in disbelief at how heavy the damned gingerbread castle was--how it had not made his coffee table collapse, he was unsure. "Yeah, I'm definitely going to be requiring your assistance for this... God, maybe we should have taken my Navigator or something... how the hell is this going to fit into the Bentley?" Hizashi scratched his scalp, his expression incredulous. "We'll think of something. Maybe. Oh Neji, you're such a little shit..." the receptionist massaged his temples in attempts to soothe himself from his current mental turmoil ( ... )

Tenten bit her lip gently as she scurried around the apartment, getting ready. She still wasn't sure what she should be wearing, and she had to keep an eye on the hot chocolate on the stove. If it boiled over, she'd have a mess all over her floor, and cleaning up wasn't exactly what she wanted to be doing when she had planned on leaving in a few minutes anyway. Once she had pulled on a simple outfit of a slightly dressy top and simple pants, she slid into the kitchen, whisk in hand, to finish up the hot chocolate on the stove. A few minutes later, it had cooled slightly, the peppermint liquor had been added, and it was packed away into the 2-quart thermos she had bought for the occasion. She grabbed the box containing a hostess gift for Hinata and hustled out to her car ( ... )

Hinata managed toopen the door with much more grace the next time she heard a knock on the door, her ever-present smile brightening at the sight of a girl who could only be Neji's friend Tenten.

"Ah, I'm glad you made it."

The fact that Neji was unconscious on her bed and that Tenten would thus have no one to fall back on socially occurred to her, and she hoped that the young woman before her wouldn't be too upset about that fact. Speaking of women...

'Sakura's not here yet, I hope she's doing alright, she's never late. I didn't really set a time though, so perhaps she just didn't expect everyone to be so early?'

She brushed aside the brief thoughts of her friend, returning her attention to the young woman before her again.

"Come on in, please make yourself at home."

"Glad I could be here. Traffic was a bit crazy, but I guess I'm even crazier to be driving in it on Christmas. Pretty silly of me, eh?" she asked, grinning. What Tenten lacked in tact and social grace she made up with quick smile and a good amount of energy. Even if Neji was knocked out on the couch (she'd be lecturing him later) she would be able to keep herself fairly entertained ( ... )

By the time the moving of the gingerbread house from hell was over, Naruto's mood had changed considerably. If he heard one more helpful comment about the damn gingerbread house he was smashing it on someone's head ( ... )

"Guilty as charged." Naruto grinned at the dimunitive brunette, or at least she was diminutive to him. Shaking her hand he noted the calluses on them and turned her hand over studying the palm for a moment. Releasing it he continued to speak.

"What monstrosity...Oh you mean the one I was about to brain someone with earlier. Yep I could gladly strangle him. Here I made all these wonderful desserts and he goes and gets high as a kite and puts my yule logs to shame. Though I do belief you are going to have to get in the punish Neji line. I do believe it is three Hyuuga deep at the moment." Shaking his head ruefully Naruto grumbled but he really didn't mind.

"It looks like there is enough food to feed a small army. Or at least me and a small army. Otherwise it might be considered a large army."

"Nice to meet you, then." She grinned when he looked at the calluses on her hands. "You tend to get those when you like knives and fencing too much," Tenten chuckled.

"Ouch. Braining someone with that thing could kill them. Not that right now I'd necessarily have a complaint against that if it were Neji getting hit." She grinned at him. "I'll make sure to try something that you've made, then, so you feel a little better," Tenten half-teased. "Do you like to bake a lot, or is it just a special-occasion thing you do."

Tenten nodded and smiled wrly. "It certainly looks like Hinata was busy in the kitchen all of today. And maybe all of this past week, too."
