Toe Socks
Hinata & Lee

Hinata dropped her gaze, letting it sit comfortably on her feet. This was not uncommon for the normally shy and timid Hyuuga. She often stared at the floor, finding it much more inviting and certainly less intimidating to talk to than the eyes of the person addressing her. But that was not the case this time; Hinata was alone in the living room of her one bedroom apartment.

Something else attracted her attention today. It was her feet, or more specifically her socks. At first glance, they were nothing more than a pair of baby blue socks pulled halfway up her shins with delicate white lotuses stitched into the fabric. No, what really made them interesting to the eye was the style; each toe was covered by an individual tube to create a much more comfortable fit for everyone’s foot. So, it was not surprising that they had been christened “toe socks.”

‘Whoever dreamed that name up must have been clever,’ Hinata thought rather sarcastically to herself before ambling over to the large emerald green couch in the center of the room. Sitting down, Hinata drew her feet up off the floorboards and crossed them on the squishy cushions. This action allowed the kunoichi to cast a critical eye over the rest of her body. Besides the curious toe socks, Hinata dawned nothing but a pair of pale blue underwear and bra beneath a white dress shirt that was miles too long. She had had to roll up the sleeves several times just to be able to use her hands and not one button was left open just to keep it from falling off her small frame. Although despite how awkward it must have appeared, it was much too comfortable to exchange for another shirt and a pair of slacks.

Keeping this thought in mind, the indigo-haired teenager returned to examining her feet and only after a few long moments of wiggling her toes did it occur to Hinata how strange this might look if anyone saw her silently contemplating her feet. Lilac eyes quickly snapped to the living room’s window as if she expected to see a horde of people staring at her through the glass. Turning away when she found no one watching her, Hinata mentally scolded herself for being so paranoid. But, then again, was it really so foolish to worry that people might think she was a little bizarre? She didn’t know anyone else who wore toe socks. Hell, she didn’t think anyone she knew even owned a pair of socks! Hinata didn’t think Naruto, who was the strangest person she had ever met, even knew what socks were! All the shinobi she had ever seen went bare foot in their pair of standardized sandals.

Hinata frowned at her feet. Just what would it look like to wear toe socks and sandals? The Hyuuga was momentarily confronted with an image of a menacing group of enemy shinobi with pink and purple coloured toes before she pushed the thought aside with a giggle. Somehow bright and flamboyant colours took away from the threatening aura shinobi were suppose to radiate.

“What’s so funny?” said a voice that effectively pulled her from her thoughts. Turning slightly, Hinata glanced over the back of the couch to see Lee emerge from the bathroom, black hair still wet from the shower and a white towel slung lazily over his shoulder. She let her lilac gaze travel over him, the faintest of blushes creeping up her porcelain white cheeks. Lee wasn’t wearing a shirt, giving Hinata a clear view of his chiseled, tanned and training beaten torso. The ends of fresh bandages hung freely from his forearms and the pair of dark wash jeans he wore around his waist fit him so perfectly that the button was left undone.

Lee smiled brightly as he walked towards her and Hinata smiled back. She couldn’t help but feel lively when the taijutsu user was around. Something about his personality was infectious and for the first time in her life Hinata wasn’t afraid to be herself.

Lee jumped the couch when he was close enough and landed with a soft thump on the cushions beside her. “I like the shirt,” he said, resting an arm over the Hyuuga’s shoulders and plucking at the collar of the dress shirt she was wearing. “Have you been raiding my closet again?”

“It looks good on me,” Hinata replied lightly as she snuggled into the older teen’s embrace.

“I can see that,” he said with a grin and Hinata blushed. Even though all the buttons were done up, the shirt still exposed a lot of skin. “Cute socks by the way,” Lee added as his dark eyes settled upon the piece of clothing that had captivated Hinata’s attention for the past twenty minutes. “How about these?” Raising his leg up onto his knee, the Hyuuga laughed out loud at what met her eyes: a pair of bright, neon green toes socks decorated with tiny kunai.

“Very masculine,” Hinata giggled. She didn’t know anyone who would be caught dead in toe socks, let alone a pair as… unique as the ones Lee was sporting. Hinata smiled. No wonder she liked him so much.
