an inspired soul travel (?) based on one of happyocelot fics the end of the winter where hinata woke up as a highschool student and naruto secretly can read her mind so a mix of soul travel and psychic au!
suddenly without any sounds, a tight weight settled on his wrist that caught him off guard- almost losing his balance as he's about to go to his another class, thinking it was one of his friend he grumbled and used his other hand to grasp this soft wrist (?) who's holding him like there's no tomorrow before he turned his heel to face this specific person disrupting his walk- "what the hell kiba—"
but for the not so first time, naruto was again, infact wrong.
he can't help but to freeze on the spot, even if they're literally on the side of the hallway, disturbing the swarm of the students who go to and fro on each directions, some running, some walking and some sprinting like the deadlines a minute from here
screw all his friends who played pranks on him. they can have a piece of him later, he swore to kami.
"naruto-kun" she breathed, almost like a gentle whisper sending tingly feelings up to his spine.
it wasn't sakura, nor shion or even that damn ino.
"hinata?" he confusedly asked, tilting his head on the side as to truly prove his confusion aside from his barely contorted face. instead of apologizing for his sudden outburst and for grasping one of hinata's wrist so tightly it was sure to leave a red mark later. it never crossed his mind, at least not at this moment for he was so focused on hinata.
with her eyes so glassy he could've sworn she was about to cry but instead she blinked numerously, avoiding his gaze, before turning back her eyes on his and smiling shyly.
"i-i found you." she smiled so brightly naruto was sure he almost went blind as hinata emits an unbelievably shine he never have seen she could've produce herself, and it made naruto smile too, and weirdly enough his heart warmth at the sight.
