Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

It was that time of year again, a time full of cheer and family, it was Christmas Time. And that meant another year alone for Hinata Hyuga.

Ever since she moved out on her own, escaping the clutches of inheriting the family business, she's been alone. Every year, she wishes for someone special to her, but, Santa has yet to fulfill that wish.

She sighed, sitting on the fountain in the middle of central park, like she did every Christmas, starring at the stars, and thinking.

The chilly December air swept against her face, causing her cheeks to turn a slight pink from the cold as well as her nose, while her ears were covered by a purple hat with two knitted strings on either sides with fluffy balls on the ends of them.

Her thick lavender pea coat clung to her body, encasing her body heat inside, while her black leggings shielded her legs from the cold, and tan, fuzzy, boots to keep her feet nice and toasty. That, and she was wearing grey wool socks that stopped a little bit above her boot.

She wore cute little white mittens and a lavender scarf, hand knitted by momma Kurenai. She fiddled with the balls on the end of her hat, looking down and moving her boots back and forth in the snow, spreading it thinner and thinner. Pretty soon she could start seeing cement.

Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

It's an awful feeling being alone, and especially awful when there wasn't a single sole insight in the park. Hinata had the whole park to her self. Peace and Quiet.

She hated it.

Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my christmas list
Boo doo bee doo

How she longed to be inside, decorating the Christmas tree with her significant other, a nice warm fireplace going, and three little stockings hanging from the mantle. Three because Hinata would have a kid. She was nearly 26, and it was time to settle down. She was getting older with each day, and it seemed hopeless.

"What's it like to be together on the Holidays?" She wondered aloud, knowing no one would answer her. It had been so long for Hinata, that she forgot what it feels like, to hold your special someone underneath the mistletoe.

Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

"I wonder the same thing sometimes." A deep voice replied, completely scaring the shit out of Hinata, and almost making her fall clear off the side of the fountain.

'What the heck?' She thought, her mind processing the voice. It certainly was not hers, and she was certain that she was alone.

She didn't dare look up, fearing what she might see. She didn't feel threatened, but this was New York, and you could never be too careful.

She felt the person sit down next to her, not too close, but not to far away either.

"Ano, I uhh...wasn't expecting to see anyone else here." The man let out a low chuckle, and she didn't have to see the man to tell her he was smiling.

"Ahh, Hinata-chan, as polite as ever I see. I could be an axe murderer and you'd treat me kindly." Hinata gasped at the mention of her name, and looked up and her heart nearly stopped. For sitting next to her was the gorgeous blue eyed, blonde haired man she had seen last Christmas. The one that absolutely dazzled her and had her in a frenzy for months, trying to find him again.

Maybe her luck was changing.

Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

"I-I-It's y-you from last y-y-year!" Hinata said, stuttering, for she was trying to control her rapid heartbeat, and her obvious attraction to the man. She was still shy after all. Some things, no matter how old you get, will just never change.

"Ahh yes, I never did tell you my name did I? I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." Hinata inwardly danced, finally putting a name to the face that had been invading her dreams and mind for months.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your family or girlfriend." Hinata said, finally recovering from shock a little bit, and getting her stuttering under control.

"I think the better question is, shouldn't YOU be with your family or boyfriend." Naruto said, admiring how cute and tiny Hinata looked all bundled up, as opposed to himself, who was only clad in a black leather jacket, a long sleeved orange shirt, skinny jeans, and a pair of white and black checkered vans.

He had met her last year by chance, ever since seeing her at her father's business party all those years ago. He was entranced by the girl. Last year, when he saw her again, he couldn't believe she was alone on Christmas.

He had searched countless times for her, with no success, and he had hoped if he came here during Christmas time he'd find her. And sure enough he did.

He couldn't wipe that grin off his face.

Hinata didn't answer him, looking away sadly and staring back at the sky again. Here was a gorgeous guy, whom Hinata was very attracted to, and she was to chicken to do anything about it.

"Must be nice, celebrating the Holidays." Hinata said, laughing a little. Naruto frowned slightly, noticing her sad tone. If he had seen her again, he was going to ask her to come with him, spend Christmas with him. He wanted to get to know her, to date her, and eventually marry her. He knew deep down she was his true love, his soul mate.

He was nearly 28 now, and he really wanted to settle down and start a family. It was bad enough the Teme and Sakura already tied the knot last month, he couldn't keep loosing to Sasuke.

Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

"Hinata, do you, do you maybe want to spend Christmas with me? I know it's sudden, but, I think it's better than being alone in the cold." Naruto suggested, hoping with all his might she'd let him take her with him, back to his apartment.

Hinata thought she was dreaming after hearing his suggestion. The man of her dreams, with the brightest blue eyes, had asked her, Hinata Hyuga, to spend Christmas with him.

How could she say no? She'd have to be crazy, or legally insane.

Come and trim my christmas tree
With some decorations bought at tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo

"Alright. I'll go." She said, trying to remain calm and not tackle him in a hug and scream 'YES! YES! YES!' to him over and over again.

Naruto grinned his foxy grin, whisker marks moving with his smile, extremely happy. He'd finally get to know her. He couldn't wait.

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Naruto got up, and bent over in front of Hinata, extending his black gloved hand out to her, she happily took it, wrapping her white mitten around it, her hand suddenly looking tiny compared to his big one.

He grinned at her, pulling her closer by putting his arm around her. He was a good head and a half taller than her, as she had always been a short girl only coming up to just under his shoulders.

"You know, Hinata-chan, I was kind of hoping you'd show up tonight." He said as they walked away. Hinata blushed and giggled.

"Well, secretly. me too, Naruto-kun." He smiled back at her, and they walked hand in hand down the pathway in Central park, with a multitude of possibilities before them.

Now they wouldn't be alone on Christmas, because fate decreed that they'd find each other.

And they lived happily ever after. With a kid, or two. The second was unexpected, but they didn't mind. It was just one more stocking added to the mantle, and one extra present under the tree.

Just what she wanted.
