A Free Extra: A Summer at Fourteen and Hinata's Lap Pillow

(Timeline: Summer when I was fourteen)

"How can he fall asleep in a place like this?" Hinata looked down at Naruto, who was using her lap as a pillow, with a hint of helplessness. He seemed to be fast asleep.

Regarding the idea of being dragged to sit on someone's lap as a pillow while passing by, she guessed that only Naruto would have the audacity to ask for that.

Since I couldn't refuse him, I might as well indulge him.

Beneath the thick shade of green trees, above her head lay a lush canopy. The incessant chirping of cicadas disturbed Hinata's thoughts.

Looking up, she Aoba completely blocking her view; looking down, she saw the boy sleeping on her lap. What would she be doing normally? Certainly not as someone's lap pillow.

She could feel his body temperature through his thin pants. The thought made Hinata's face flush red again.

Fortunately, it was noon, and this was a secluded place where no one passed by. The stone bench was a bit cold; leaning against it felt like touching a block of ice.

After lost in thought for a while, Hinata glanced down at Naruto. Golden hair, a defined brow, and when he was asleep, you'd never guess how lively he usually was.

When she looked down, she didn't realize how close they were. As she looked, she suddenly felt an urge to reach out and poke his cheek. His eyelashes were beautiful; the boy's eyelashes were unexpectedly long.

Even through clothing, the lap pillow position allows you to feel each other's body temperature over time. It even creates a feeling of body temperature merging together, embracing each other's warmth.

His chest rose and fell evenly with each breath, and he didn't have any strange smell, just a faint smell of sweat. It wasn't unpleasant, at least Hinata didn't find it offensive, but her heart was beating unexpectedly fast.

She was shy but really enjoyed these rare opportunities for close contact.

His face rested on her lap, pressing against her skin, giving Hinata a strange sensation. A warm feeling slowly welled up inside her, her breathing quickened, and she prayed that no one would come near.

After waiting for a while, there were no strange noises around, which proved that no one was disturbing them.

As a result, Hinata gradually grew bolder. In every sense of the word, she reached out her hand, her fingertips glistening, and gently touched his face before immediately withdrawing it.

Naruto didn't react much; he was fast asleep, his breathing relaxed and even.

A strange, exciting feeling welled up inside Hinata. She blinked, feeling a deep sense of guilt, as if she had done something wrong. But that excitement kept tempting her to try again.

My gaze shifted from his face, but then fell upon the wide-open gap in his clothes.

Thump, thump, thump. Hinata abruptly looked away. It seemed a little shameless, but the cicadas' chirping was louder than ever, drowning out the girl's worries.

Naruto woke up at some point, opened his eyes and looked up, seeing a small hillock and Hinata's face.

They looked down and stared at each other for a moment.

Hinata blinked in surprise, then instinctively tried to stand up but was instantly pulled back down by Naruto. If Hyuga Hiashi had been there, both of them would have been in deep trouble.

She shuddered, and a layer of hot sweat instantly broke out on her body. Her face turned visibly red, and her neck quickly became the color of strawberry ice cream.

Naruto couldn't resist poking Hinata's face with his finger.

"W-What happened?" Hinata panicked, afraid that she had been discovered for looking at something she shouldn't have.

"I didn't sleep well," he said.

"Oh? What should I do then? Should I sleep a little longer?" She believed him and tried to get up, but her legs were numb.

"It's not good to sleep leaning against something."

Upon hearing this, Hinata immediately became conflicted, and after a long silence, she finally spoke in a lukewarm tone.

"Let's find another place, the chair is too short."

"I can't sleep," Naruto said deliberately, pretending to be unhappy.

"Don't... don't be upset, there's... there's a lawn over there." Hinata tugged at his clothes, pleadingly, "How about we go over there?"

"No, unless you let me kiss you."

"I... I..." Hinata instinctively tried to dodge, but when she saw that Naruto was no longer moving, she pursed her lips and stopped dodging.

Feeling the soft touch, Naruto pinched her cheek, then got up and left, satisfied.
