"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love."
- Sophocles
Tears stained her pale cheeks as Hinata sauntered down the hall way, not caring who saw that she was crying or what anyone said.
Everyone's voice was a blur to her anyway. The hall way seemed stuffy and narrow as the young Hyyuga made her way through the hordes of chatting teenagers.
Before she knew it she was chewing on her lower lip.
Her whole body felt numb and weak, everything was falling apart in her mind.
The walk down the hall seemed never ending until a familiar voice caught her attention. Blurry lavender eyes met intent obsidian ones. "What's wrong" her friend pulled her close and held her tight. His embrace was strong and comfortable.
The small Hyugga girl clang to her dear friend. She clang to the only comfort she was offered.
She sobbed into his chest as her fingers curled around the gray cloth of the back of his hoodie "Everything's falling apart" her voice was a mess like the rest of her. He placed his large hand on the back of her head and pulled her closer as strands of her long blue hair curled around his pale fingers.
"M-mom and dad are a-al-always fighting now, she threw a weight at him last n-night" she sobbed violently as he buried his face in her hair. "H-Hanabi h-has been talking about s-suicide" her voice was full of distress and fear as she finished up "N-Naruto c-cheated on me" her small frame trembled against his body as she clang to him.
Abruptly he forced her an arms length away and clasped his hands around hers "Look at me Hinata" his voice was as cold as it had always been.
She looked up at him with wide lavender eyes "Don't cry over that idiot anymore, He's been cheating on you for years. Your nothing to him" his tone was sharp and cut like a knife.
Hinata looked away from him "But you are everything to me" his tone remained rough and hurtful. "Stop crying" he muttered trying to sound caring.
"I can't" she sobbed "once I start I can't st-"she was cut off by his lips crashing down on hers.
Her face turned pink and tears stopped falling from her hooded eyes. Sasuke's strong arms closed around her slender waist and her delicate fingers tangled in his thick dark hair.
"You stopped" his tone was almost soft, either way it made her heart speed up. He lifted her small pale hand to his lips and softly kissed it "You're really great, I like how innocent you are"
Her cheeks turned a dusty shade of pink "Naruto never said anything like that to me"
Once again the Uchiha boy pulled her close and held her tight "then forget about him, take what's in front of you right now"
