share some of your fav naruhina high school au headcanons with me!! i love the thought of naru teaching hina math cause he's had to do his own taxes hc (don't remember where i saw that but i didn't come up with it lol)
I WAS WAITING UNTIL I GOT HOME FROM WORK to answer this question!!!!!!
first of all, that headcanon is genius. i think it's something that we don't see done often enough because it's usually the other way around, and i even wrote a thing where hinata was tutoring nart, and that's how they 😏😏😏😏 ✨✨✨connect✨✨✨
i also read recently that both nart and sakura became instructors at the academy for a hot minute, so imagining him in that kind of role is chef's kiss. more of that please!!!
anyways, here are my personal favorites aka adding to my to-do list:
high school nart and hina are outcasts. hinata is a shy transfer who is a little more better off financially, cares for everyone, even when some aren't as kind. nart has a problem with people who pick on others. they both choose to still be good people (even if nart has to black an eye or two???)
they both become study partners around junior year. that's when the rumors start. nart brushes it off, because these guys don't know what they're talkin' about, and whaddaya mean he "only looks at hinata like that" and he's "huggin' on her all the time"???? mind your BUSINESS, kiba.
hinata overthinks. she has other friends, male friends even, yet naruto always felt...different. he was very special to her. and...why did their hands linger? why did he wrap his arm around her and she'd...let him? for a long time????
nart always invites hinata out for ramen after school. and ungodly hours. hinata would remind him that she has a curfew?? and nart is like??? who cares??? why else are we both up rn???
the epitome of she fell first, he fell harder in every universe. it them.
because hinata is the first to acknowledge the "...oh no." moment. when it's already too late. the slight tinge in her cheeks when he does something so shamelessly him. the big smile on her face that lingers well after he leaves because her mood is always better when he's there. the evolution of their hugs going from nart giving her his famous bear hugs that he gives everyone to oh his arms rest lower around her waist and oh he's taller now and her arms fit so nicely around his neck now and oh he's burying his face in her shoulder and oh her nose is nestled right at the meeting of his neck and shoulder if she stands high on her tiptoes -
nart is sooooo into her, by the way??? homie straight up will drop anything at the drop of the hat if he hears wind of hinata having a bad day. he doesn't care what he's doing. hinata comes first. hinata is all he can think about. hinata, hinata, hinata. sasuke eventually got fed up with him talking about her all the damn time, and sakura is the one who patiently asks (cue sasuke's exasperated sigh),
"hey, so, umm...are you sure she is just your friend?"
nart, without blinking, heart skipping, blush rising, thinking of all the ways to whisk hinata away for ramen and maybe a movie and maybe a lil sumn, voice cracking,
"yEaH, why???"
