Featuring a business AU and Sasuke as a nervous dork.
The Uchiha and Hyuuga work together for a multi-million dollar business venture and the company heads hold a meeting.
Fugaku and Sasuke stood stiffly in their pressed suits, waiting for the arrival of the other company's directors.
The younger Uchiha mentally prepared himself to deal with intimidating business men and cutting, ghostly eyes before a soft voice cut through his musings.
"Good morning, I hope you two haven't been waiting long."
Sasuke looked up and his heart dropped to his stomach. He was met with the stunning Hyuuga heiress.
Except he didn't anticipate for the heiress to be breath-taking and he's never reacted this way towards anyone ever and what were these horrible feelings and…
Thus began Sasuke's descent into becoming a nervous wreck.
Her eyes weren't the trademark Hyuuga white, but rather a pale lavender. They spoke of ambition and tenacity. Confidence and hard work. They were still piercing (it was rumored that the Hyuuga eyes were all-seeing)… but they were genuinely kind.
Her hair was dark purple silk that he was positive changed colors depending on the lighting-
Stop. He had to stop gawking at her, especially in front of their fathers and there was also the fact that it was incredibly unprofessional to openly stare at a business partner like that.
But it was mainly because he was beginning to sweat a lot and he was sure both Hyuugas could feel how moist and cold his hand was when they formally greeted each other.
Out of the corner of his eye, he even spotted Hiashi covertly wiping his right hand on his tailored linen pants.
Anxiety bubbled in Sasuke's chest as the two groups proceeded to enter the meeting room to discuss business.
After the meeting, a concerned Hinata approached him.
"Uchiha-san, are you alright? Pardon me if I'm prying, but I noticed your hands have been shaky and you seem a bit feverish."
Sasuke cleared his throat for fear of his voice cracking… despite being 26.
"I-I'm fine. I might have caught the cold." He lied. He would never admit that the woman in front of him was causing him to react like an inexperienced teenage boy.
She nodded in sympathy.
"I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better soon."
Seeing her father motion that it was time to leave, she bid farewell to Sasuke.
"Take care, Uchiha-san. I'll see you next week." Hinata bowed and flashed a smile.
He bowed back and willed his traitorous heart to slow down as he swiftly exited the building.
When he finally reached the safety of his car, he locked the doors and put his burning face in his hands.
'I'm fucked.'
He groaned while simultaneously anticipating and dreading the next six months they would spend working together.
