Hinata Hyuuga wasn’t one to be very spontaneous. If anything she was very predictable. Many of her friends could tell you exactly how she spent her day, because she did almost the exact same thing every day.

Wake up.

Go about morning business.

Meet her friends at the coffee shop for a tall cappuccino.

Go to work.

Go home.

Spend time with friends.

Go to sleep.

Repeat.

And with a few exceptions for special occasions, that was how Hinata lived. And she liked it that way. She didn’t have to worry much about what was going to happen next, because she already knew. So when her best friend Kiba had invited to go furniture shopping of all things, everyone expected her to say no. Everyone expected her to turn him down politely and go about her day like she normally would. It seemed that for once, Hinata was being spontaneous, and everyone was surprised.

“You will?” Kiba said, leaning over the table, almost spilling his frappachino.

“Well, sure… When do you want to go? I’m free this weekend, if you’d like to go then.” Hinata gave Kiba a small smile. Kiba grinned and grabbed Hinata’s hand.

“We have to go now! There’s a sale, and it’s only for today, so let’s go!” Kiba dragged Hinata along, outside of the small coffee shop and into a nearby taxi. The group at the table stared on in shock, not quite sure how to handle what had just happened.

“Did Kiba really just run out with Hinata to go buy furniture?” Asked Ino, who had started to drink her coffee again.

“I think he did. But I still don’t believe it.” Naruto said, shaking his head, as if to shake away an illusion.

And that is how Hinata Hyuuga and Kiba Inzuka came to stand right in front of a Havertys. A large banner tied above the door advertised the two-day sale.

“All items 20-70 off during the “Dog Days of Summer” Sales Event!”

To top off the very spontaneous events, Kiba also had his puppy, Akamaru, tucked into his jacket. The two walked in, and an employee came to greet them. The young woman smiled at the two, and spoke in a cheery voice.

“Hello, and welcome to Havertys! Are you two looking for anything in particular today that I could help you with?” Kiba shook his head.

“Nah, we’re just checking things out.” He said. Suddenly, Akamaru’s head appeared at the opening of Kiba’s jacket. The woman looked startled, but simple smiled more.

“Aww, you brought your puppy! How cute. Just make sure that dog hair doesn’t get on the furniture and it should be okay.”

Kiba and Hinata walked all around the showroom floor, sitting on almost every chair and sofa, comparing opinions.

“You know, I don’t think leather is the right fabric for your apartment.” Hinata said, after getting up from a black leather chair.

“Why’s that? Leather is man’s fabric!” Kiba said, sitting himself down on the chair Hinata had previously occupied.

“Because it’s too hard to take care of, and too expensive to be with the rest of your furniture. And Akamaru would tear it up.” Kiba shrugged, and the two moved on.

They came to a large red sofa, and the two sat down on either end of it. Kiba lounged comfortably, and let out a sigh, while Hinata seemed to disappear into the soft, squishy fabric.

“I like this one, how about you Hinata?” He asked, after getting up from the unusually soft couch. Hinata accepted the hand he offered, and with Kiba’s help, she managed to escape the confines of the cushions.

“It’s a bit too big…” Hinata trailed off, not having a very god reason to say no to the sofa. Kiba shrugged, and walked on.

“So you don’t like it. No biggie. We’ll find one!” The two continued on, and it seemed that they had covered every inch of the store, before Hinata stumbled into the small clearance section. At the very back of the room, was a brown loveseat. Hinata sat down, not sinking into the cushion, but not bouncing from its firmness. She leaned back, and allowed herself to relax for once that day.

Kiba sat down beside her, while Akamaru jumped out of his jacket and onto Hinata’s lap. The two were very close, but not so close as to be uncomfortable. And the two sat there, completely complacent to just stay where they were, and relax. It was at that monet that the greeter decided to barge in on them.

“So how are you doing? Did you two find anything-” The woman stopped speaking when she saw the two sitting comfortably on the loveseat. “I guess you two found what you were looking for.” She giggled and turned around to leave, before looking back at them and winking. Hinata stared at her as she walked away, a bright blush on her face. Then she turned to face Kiba, looking somewhat perplexed.

“Kiba, why did you invite me to come with you? Surely someone else would have been better.” She said. A small blush found its way to Kiba’s face, and he forced himself to look Hinata in the eye.

“Well, you see. I wanted your opinion because, well…” Kiba trailed off, before taking in a big breath. His next statement was spoken so quickly that Hinata almost didn’t understand it.

“I sort of like you, and I want you to be comfortable in my apartment, because I was hoping you could be my girlfriend!” He looked hopefully at Hinata, who didn’t seem to have heard. But she had.

Hinata flung herself at Kiba, wrapping her arms around his neck and holding him tightly. The two embraced, and it was the start of a beautiful, and highly spontaneous relationship.

But alas, poor Akamaru was to be constantly stuck between the two in their very emotional hugs, no matter how big he would eventually get.
