So, I realized why I got stuck writing this. That's because the New Year's felt more like an epilogue than anything else. Hence, let it actually be one and trick my subconscious by continuing the story in another book, so to speak.
"Good morning, sensei!"
"Good morning, Hinata." Kurenai raised an eyebrow, amused at Hinata's energy and spring in her step as she descended upon the training grounds like a butterfly on a field of flowers accompanied by Vivaldi. It was a complete turnaround compared to her self from before the New Year’s break. "I see you had a good week.”
"Hihihihi! Does it show?" Maybe too much, Kurenai thought as she saw the Hyuuga do an actual half-pirouette before coming to a stop in front of the Jounin. She half expected her to sprout a pearl on her forehead. “And I bet you had a great time yourself, sensei!"
"Hmm... Guilty." The red-eyed woman smirked. "Mind sharing?"
"Oh, sensei! You're gonna make me say it..." The usually meek girl was now holding her cheeks and shaking her head, going ‘eeek’ and 'kyaaa'. Kurenai, knowing her maybe better than anyone in the village, deduced that only one thing could have caused such a sudden solar predisposition in Hinata.
"You finally landed some private time with your blonde hunk of whiskered man-meat?"
"YEEEEEES!" Jounin reflexes allowed Kurenai to protect herself from the volume of Hinata's earsplitting shrill cry. So she had seen right. Either by prodding or complicated planning, someone had finally had Hinata get laid by Naruto. But as she thought this, Hinata’s beaming face changed into a small pout. "Although... The first time was not exactly private."
"Hmm?"
"Ino, darling... Are you alright?"
"... Yes." Even with an affirmative answer, Ino’s mother retained her worry. Her daughter had been in this catatonic slash contemplative state for a week.
The blonde genin was currently sitting up in her bed, covers up over her knees staring at the wall in front of her. Ino had been in this state ever since New Year’s, when she had come back around seven AM after a night of intense physical activity, catching her and Inoichi in the act. She had ignored them, muttered a goodnight and went straight to bed but that was par for the course. When she didn’t ask her mother for details the next morning? Now that was worrisome.
“Honey, you’re kind of starting to freak me out… You’ve been cooped up at home for an entire week, without having sex or masturbating… Aren’t you-”
“Mom, I’m so repressed right now that I fear for the physical integrity of my next partner.” Okay, that solved that doubt. “But it’s just… I…” Ino sighed, shaking her head before looking at her mother in the eyes. "Mom, have you ever had sex with people other than dad after marrying?"
"Huh? Of course. Your dad isn't around all day, you know." Mrs Michiru Yamanaka shrugged her shoulders. With how often and randomly the pheromone acted up, there was no way for anyone to keep himself/herself exclusive. Also, the way she saw it, a bit of change every now and then in sex did wonders for the married life. "And don't let me get started on long term missions. You remember that day last year when I sent you to sleep at the Nara's? Well, I organized-"
"Wrong question. Have you ever wanted two men at the same time?"
“As I was saying, when you slept at the Nara’s-”
“Not for sex." That made Michiru pause.
"Hmm... No. I must say that as long as romantic feelings go, I've always been of one mind." The woman admitted. She sighed fondly as she remembered one of her teenage loves. Poor Mikoto. How she ended up... "Do I have to guess that you find yourself in a Takewaki Kuno situation?"
"Not sure who that is, but... Well..." Ino stared at the giant Sasuke's poster plastered to the wall in front of her. Should she put another one next to it featuring an idiot with blonde hair? "Sasuke-kun is Sasuke-kun, but... I'm 100% certain that no one will ever top the person I've been with last night when it comes to mind blowing, soul shattering, nirvana inducing, hot, steamy, raunchy intercourse." The adult woman actually blushed at that. More because her daughter had never been one for such language than the mental images, but- "Also, I’m bi. It was me, him and another girl. Looks like I love eating pussy.”
Okay. Now also because of the mental images. Those were her genes, alright. "... Ino, honey, you know you can tell mommy everything, right?" She was already feeling the need, might as well get in the mood.
"Rough night, brat?" Zabuza asked from his seat on the toilet, newspaper and all. He either didn’t believe in bathroom privacy or he believed in time optimization.
"You don't know the half of it." Naruto gargled and then spat water and toothpaste. "I don't think I've ever met anyone as enthusiastic as Hinata. She actually looked more energetic when we finished, but we slept two to three hours max. What's up with that?"
"Women are strange creatures." The missing nin turned a page of the newspaper. "Got the marks to prove it."
"Found a party last night, didn’t you?” Zabuza shrugged.
“Eh. I just got used to the local tradition.” Rolling his eyes, Naruto left the bathroom and failing to find the will to wander into his bedroom again, he plopped down on the couch. "Thanks for breakfast, Haku."
"It was my pleasure, Naruto-san." Haku said as she dried her hands, done with the dishes. She couldn’t help but chuckle at Naruto's tired frame. "Most people would look cheerful after a long night with an enthusiastic pretty girl."
"No complaints about that, but I never ever met anyone able to tire me out." He put his hands on his face, groaning. "I need to metabolize that."
"Hmm, if I may be so humble to suggest a way to help with that..." Haku smiled as she sat near his feet, a hand on his right knee. "We could cuddle."
He blinked and raised his head. "Cuddle?"
"Cuddle." Chuckling, Haku removed her sandals and laid on top of Naruto, wrapping her arms around his body and kissing him on the lips before settling her head on his chest. "I noticed that Naruto-san prefers this kind of physical attention. It happens to be a favorite of mine as well."
"... Probably because of a lack of it in youth.” Naruto got the hint and hugged Haku back, a hand on top of her head, stroking her hair softly. She sighed contently. She perked her head up and laid a series of soft pecks on the blonde’s lips before settling down on his chest again. He smiled. "You know, I kind of like this cuddle thing."
“We can’t always find creative new uses for my kekkei genkai, Naruto-san.” Haku sighed, her eyes closed as she soon joined Naruto in a soft slumber.
"Good morning, sensei!"
"Good morning, Hinata." Kurenai raised an eyebrow, amused at Hinata's energy and spring in her step as she descended upon the training grounds like a butterfly on a field of flowers accompanied by Vivaldi. It was a complete turnaround compared to her self from before the New Year’s break. "I see you had a good week.”

"Hmm... Good thing today we meet in the afternoon." Naruto moaned out loud as he brushed his teeth.
"Rough night, brat?" Zabuza asked from his seat on the toilet, newspaper and all. He either didn’t believe in bathroom privacy or he believed in time optimization.
"You don't know the half of it." Naruto gargled and then spat water and toothpaste. "I don't think I've ever met anyone as enthusiastic as Hinata. She actually looked more energetic when we finished, but we slept two to three hours max. What's up with that?"
