Insomnia
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, Sasuke and Hinata would already be together.
Sasuke x Hinata
Summary: Insomnia- Long nights, deep longing, consumed with thoughts of you… Resulting in s l e e p l e s s nights…
It's been five months since I met her. The girl that had changed everything about me. Everything that I thought I had that once held some importance, all the riches a man could buy, the success of owning a corporation, and yes even the beautiful women that kept my bed warm for many nights… They meant nothing to me now.
Not without her in my life. Not without Hinata.
I sat in my dark living room, watching the rain as I poured my fourth shot of whiskey. Once it was filled to the brim, I tilted the glass to my lips and took in the amber liquid, feeling it burn down my throat. I set the glass down on the table and ran a hand through my hair.
I am a fool. As if a few shots of alcohol could send me to oblivion and make me forget about her. My mind began to torment me as the memories began to take over…
------A distant M E M O R Y…------
"Oh, Sasuke, you're looking so tense."
I looked up from the documents on my desk and saw Karin shut the door behind her. A click was heard as she neared me. Her outfit showed too much of her hourglass figure and left no room for the imagination. It consisted of a short skirt that barely covered her knees (barely) and a blouse that was buttoned halfway. She continued to slowly come towards me as she freed her hair from her bun.
"Why don't I give you a massage? Just like old times?" She proceeded to take off her glasses and winked at me.
I couldn't not laugh. Leaning back in my chair, I decided to enjoy the show. Besides, what harm would come out of having a little fun? Once she was close enough, Karin leaned close over my desk, showing a little more than I really wanted to see. "I can't stop thinking about you." I could smell the alcohol on her breath as she said those words in a seductive manner. I smirked at her and leaned in closer. "Karin Karin Karin." I put on my legendary smirk that won over so many of these clueless women. "I thought one night would have been enough for a woman of your taste."
She gasped and smiled flirtatiously. "You're right, one night would have been enough… but this is different." We were so close to each other now that our lips were just a few inches away from touching. "You see, the thing is I can't stop wanting you. And I know…" I had to keep myself from laughing as she continued. "That this feeling is love."
Before I could let out a laugh, my right-hand man Sai burst through the door. "Karin? What the hell are you doing?!"
Karin immediately straightened herself, but didn't attempt to even try and fix her attire. "Sai, you ASS! Me an' Sasuke-" She let out a hiccup. "We were about to connect."
"Oh my God." Sai took quick strides and grabbed a hold of Karin's wrist. "You're drunk?!"
"I'm not DRUNK!" Once again, another hiccup. "I'm TIPSY!"
Sai looked at me and mouthed 'You're a demon.' Once he saw that my smirking face just grew, he turned back to Karin. "Karin, I'll call you a cab that will take you home. Once the cab arrives, you stay in bed and SOBER UP." He called on one of my assistants and ordered her to call a cab for Karin, writing down her address and everything.
The assistant had somewhat of a hard time getting Karin out the door, but after a few minutes of coaxing, she managed to get Karin to follow her. Sai waited at the door until they were both gone then turned his attention towards me. "Karin made a mistake. It is YOU my friend who is the ass." He shut the door behind him.
I raised up my arms at him and leaned against my chair. "Hey, I can't help it if women find me attractive."
"That's not the problem Uchiha, and you and I know it." Sai is probably the only guy that I allow to talk to me this way. He and I have been through a lot of experiences and throughout all of them, he has always been there to correct my stupid mistakes. My right hand man indeed.
Sai looked at me and shook his head. "You better clean up your act or else you will be left alone forever."
"Hey." I leaned over my desk with my hands clasped together. "If I wanted to get some philosophical reading or any other bull shit like that I could just read my own fortune from a fortune cookie."
Sai just snorted at me. "You and your humor. It's no wonder women can't get their hands off of you."
"My sentiments exactly." I smiled slyly at him and began shuffling my papers. "Now is there anything else you'd like to say? Or can I get back to these damn reports?"
Sai shook his head. "No I'm not done yet." He took a seat across from me and glared at me.
"What? What's that look now." I threw the papers on the desk and returned his glare with my own. He was really beginning to piss me off.
"Look, Sasuke, you and I have had each others back for some time now." He took hold of a few documents and began skimming through them. "You're like a brother to me, that's why I don't want you to end up alone."
I processed what he said to me. "You do know that I'm not gay right?"
He looked up at me and smirked. "Of course I know that. You'd screw anything that had breasts, a miniskirt, and knew how to walk."
"Touche Sai." I laughed at him. "That is very much a fact."
He joined in laughter with me, but after a few seconds he stopped. His expression solemn. "But that's the thing, you will end up alone if you keep on using women for your own pleasure. It's like women don't have any use for you other than sex."
He stood up from his seat. "You'll never find anyone who will be with you for you, Sasuke. Not as long as you continue with your stupid game of messing with people's hearts."
Is he joking? The reason why that was highly unbelievable was because I knew that every woman wanted me. I had everything. The money, the looks, and more. So how could he even say that?
Before I could say anything else, he turned away from me. "You have a new secretary, starting today. You should go out and introduce yourself."
That caught me off guard. If his goal was to change the subject, he was pretty damn good at it. "A new secretary? I thought you were my 'secretary.'"
He laughed. "As if I would want to deal with taking your calls and making your appointments." He shook his head and made his way towards the door. Before he opened it, he turned towards me. "And be nice to her. She's awfully shy." He gave me one last smirk and made his way out of my office.
"Shy, huh?" I ran a hand through my hair and adjusted my tie. "Well, I guess I should welcome her to the family."
--------There is no coincidence in F A T E…-------
I walked down to the fifteenth floor and came towards the receptionist desk that sat in the corner of the room. There, an indigo-haired girl had her back towards me as she arranged her papers in order. I stepped closer and cleared my throat, causing her to jump as she dropped her papers.
"Oh no, me and my clumsy hands!" She turned towards me and gasped. "Oh! Y-You are Uchiha-san. T-the head of Uchiha Co." She stood up and straightened her buttoned blouse and long skirt, both the color of a pale robins egg blue. Already she was completely different from Karin. "My n-name is Hinata Hyuuga." she introduced herself with a slight bow as I observed her.
She didn't have the features that passed off as 'beautiful.' Her face was too round, figure too thin, lips too pale, and a complexion that was too pale to be considered 'healthy.' But she did have intriguing eyes. A pale lavender… Almost shining like a full moon on a dark night.
"Welcome to the family, Hinata-chan." I took a hold of her hand as she gasped. Gently, with deliberate slowness, I pressed my lips against her smooth hand.
-------Back to the P R E S E N T-------
That was our first meeting. I didn't think it would have meant anything at the time, but strange things began to happen to me. Things like….
How those pale lavender eyes seemed to haunt me.
How she was all I thought about, like how…
…Her lips would feel like against mine.
…Her hair felt like if I ran my fingers through those silky locks.
…Her skin would taste like against my lips.
I was intrigued by her. And I knew I would do anything to find out all of those things.
-------Sweet M E M O R I E S…--------
It was getting late, and none of my documents had been read through and verified yet. And I was going to have another all nighter.
I groaned and poured myself a drink. There was a slight knock on the door as i looked up. Who could it be now? Most everyone had left already. it was probably Sai. "Come in."
I had fully expected Sai to barge in, but to my surprise, Hinata came through the door. "Hello, Sasuke, uhm, sir." Her voice is really sweet… I shook my head and tried to erase that last thought. "Hinata, what brings you here."
"Uhm," Hinata took tentative steps towards, which I found incredibly sexy. She had been working for me for about a month now. Almost everyday, I thought about her. it was strange. How could such a girl consume my thoughts? "I thought that you might have needed some help, so I stayed back."
I nodded at her. "Thank you for the thought." I pointed over to the sofa in the corner of the room. "Have a seat, we'll work on the documents together."
She smiled at me and I felt my heart race. Strange, what is this? Suddenly, I couldn't wait to be near her. I grabbed the documents and came towards the sofa. Hinata took a seat and a handful of documents, reading it carefully. I sat on the plush carpet.
She didn't look up at me, so I took this chance and examined her. Her hair smelled faintly of lavender and roses, making me wonder if her skin had the same taste. I took in her lavender eyes, her lips… I wanted to taste her so badly-
"Sasuke-san?" She looked up from the document and stared at me. "is something wrong? Why are you s-so close-" My hand touched her face, silencing her. I closed my eyes and brought my lips to hers. She gasped and I took the chance and tasted her. Like strawberries and chocolate. I couldn't get enough of her taste. I felt her moan as she leaned back into the couch, taking me with her as she buried her hands within my hair… Neither one of us could be satisfied enough to end the kiss…
------Could such a blessing L A S T?-------
And that was how it began. The attraction that I felt towards her grew. It was incredible, that night. She was everything I knew I could ever want and n e e d…
Her skin was softer than I had ever fantasized…
Her taste was sweeter than the finest champagne…
Her scent more alluring than the most exotic flowers…
I was in love with her.
We were happy together…
Even Sai appreciated the change in me… all thanks to her…
For three months, I had given her everything. Even the things that she would never need. I bought her all the riches. But she didn't want any of that. She just wanted me.
I was grateful for her. Without her, I would have never known what my life was missing.
Love. Light. Happiness.
Hinata.
But the happiness wouldn't have lasted…
-------Betrayed, Revenge, T O R N…------
I came in to work that day, feeling elated. I felt like I could take on the world. I greeted every one of my workers. Making a quick stop to the fifteenth floor, I checked to see if Hinata was in, but her desk was empty.
"It's probably still a little early." I felt a little concerned, but i shrugged off the feeling. I figured I would just call her.
I made my way back to my office, still thinking about Hinata…
------The T R U T H…------
Opening my door, I was shocked to see Karin standing in the middle of my office. Her face was stained with red as tears streamed down her face.
"How could you do this to me?!" Her voice shook with emotion as her pink eyes bore into my obsidian gaze.
"What are you talking about?" I walked towards her as she clenched her fist.
"Why? Why did you choose Hinata?"
I shook my head and understood why she was here. "Because… she changed me…"
"You bastard." Karin glared over at me. She shook her head and threw herself at me, making me lose my breath. I tried to pry her loose, but she just held me tighter. I gritted my teeth as she spoke. "I loved you. My feelings for you were genuine."
"Karin, enough. Let. Go."
Her hold tightened around me. "She will never accept all of you. Not how I can, Sasuke. Oh no, not even close Sasuke."
My heart began to beat faster. "What are you talking about?"
She let out a laugh as she gazed up at me. Eyes shining. "Does she know of your past? Of the many lovers you had been with before her, including me?"
I glared at her. "That's why it's in the past for a reason. I'm different from before Karin." I tried to push her off of me, but she held on fast.
"Oh, but you told me that it had felt so good. That you loved using women for their bodies." She gave me a sickenly sweet smile. "I could give you that same pleasure again Sasuke, better than that Hinata can."
"Stop it!" I practically roared at her, my eyes burning with hatred.
"Oh but isn't it true?" She finally let go of me as I held back the urge to punch her. "Didn't you once tell me that love was just an illusion? During our nightly adventures?"
I shook my head. "That was before Hinata."
She cocked her head at me. "Oh, then would you like to tell that to Hinata then? That you really were using her for her body?"
I heard a small whimper from behind me as I quickly turned…
And was faced with my Hinata…
"Hinata." I walked towards her, but she held up her hands, stopping me.
"Is it true? Did you…" Fresh tears began to fall from her eyes. "Did you really use women? Are you using me?"
I shook my head. "I… I did… do those things but," I came closer towards her. "But that was before I met you."
"I swear, I'm not using you for your body. I love you!"
Her tears just wouldn't stop. I longed to hold her, to take away the pain. But I couldn't… Because i was the source of her tears.
"I- I can't believe it… you never told me." She took another step away from me. "Were you going to keep it a secret… as long as we were together?"
I could tell that Karin was smirking from behind me, but I didn't care. I had to do something, everything was falling apart right in front of me!
"I was afraid to tell you." I gathered up all of my courage and stepped closer to her, touching her hair "I was afraid that you would reject me."
She bit her bottom lip and flinched at my touch, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, I need to be alone."
That was her last words as she left me feeling empty and alone…
---------I N S O M N I A…--------
I looked at the clock. It read 3:00 in the morning.
It had been a month since that day, and still sleep wouldn't claim me.
Hinata still hadn't come back to work, I still hadn't received a single call from her.
All the agitation came loose as I picked up the fragile glass cup. I clenched it within my hands and threw it against the wall, shattering it. I leaned my head back and let out a cry as my raging emotions imitated the storm outside my window.
Because I can't sleep til you're next to me
No I can't live without you no more
Oh I stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah , Feels like insomnia ah ah
