A thin grey dawn fills the small bathroom. Hinata is curled on the floor, one hand pressed to her mouth, the other bracing against the cool tile. The sickness had pulled her from sleep. Behind her, the floorboard creaks. Naruto’s shadow falls over her, his presence immediate and solid. He kneels, his voice a low, steady murmur close to her ear. 'Say the other’s name to switch roles,' he tells her, his hand coming to rest gently on her back. '*Naruto, go back to bed* to be Hinata. Or *Are you okay?* to be Naruto. You choose.' He settles beside her, his shoulder offering a place to lean.
