AN: Heartfelt Disposition; This is where I will load all of my one shots or two part Sasuhina Stories that I have shared onto my Tumblr Account (SahelSteadFast) Just in case there are any Sasuhina Fan Fiction Readers that might enjoy reading these but don't have an account on there.
Modern AU
I don't own anything.
'I adopted a kid and you help me take care of them all the time since we're neighbors, but you came over and got so involved in the kid's life so much they think that we're both their parents instead of just me.' Prompt Thanks to Themultifandomnerd.
Another huge and loving thanks goes out to these three encouraging and kind fellow Sasuhina shippers, Gigiree, Virgemhoneyee, and Setsuphernalia. You three gave me the push I needed!
I liked this prompt so much that I am going to rework it in a Sasuhina way, bare with me please.
Sea Of Confusion.
The perfect neighborhood stood surrounded by large beautiful trees, and thick hinterlands. Big houses spaced generously far apart, all walks paved in stone neatly leading to large wooden doors. Various flowered brushes decorating the grand windows to the entrance, silently awaiting sunlight to be drawn onto forest green leaves and into spaces beyond the windowsills.
A little boy no older than 6 stood quietly in the foyer of one specific dwelling, the residence of Hyuga Hinata; gazing out of a window that is located beside the large front doors. "Sanosai, Sanooosai." A gentle voice flowed down into the long hallway reaching him from elsewhere in the home. The boy didn't move an inch and remained still, eyes locked on the stone path leading passed the massive yard onto the street.
"Sanosai." The voice of the Hyuga woman now only a few feet away but directly behind the small child, "Are you ignoring me baby?"
"No mommy." eyes still glued to the window.
"Oh, really?" Eyes set softly upon her young son. "Because if I'm not mistaken I do believe that I have called your name more than once, with no answer retuned."
With that being said Sonosai finally broke contact with the window slightly to give his mother a small smirk before returning to his original post.
The opal eyed woman held in a thin gasp she so badly wanted to let out, that small smirk on her sons lips has begun to show up more recent as of late. She knows exactly where such facial expression stems from, her slightly stoic neighbor across the street and two houses down from the left.
She remembers the day she first brought her son home from the adoption agency, he was two years old, and asleep gently nestled into his new car seat in the back of her newer modeled sliver sedan. She drove slowly the whole way home taking every precaution, using every signal, but she didn't see the large glass bottle in the road as she glanced back to make sure her little man was still asleep.
Almost there, almost there, and her tire blows out across the street and two houses down from being safely home to start their new life together. She swerved into an empty driveway, she knew the house. She recognized it as her withdrawn neighbor, Uchiha Sasuke's place of dwelling. It had been so loud she just knew if he was home that he had to have heard it. Feeling terribly embarrassed she immediately shut off the car and went to the back seat to comfort her son who was now crying loudly due to the incident. After climbing into the back she shut the door and locked the car up, because safety first of course.
Not but five minutes later there was a knock on the car window beside where she sat hugging her son whispering sweet loving words in to his little ear. Rolling down the window just about half way, she made eye contact with the man she was hoping not to have disturbed.
"Hyuga, Is everything alright?" His concerned eyes lingered for a moment upon the little auburn haired boy in her arms. "Are either of you hurt?"
"Uchiha san, y-yes w-we're fine!" she then looks at her son "Just a little shaken up, my tire has blown out."
"Hn, yes I see. Can you open up your trunk there should be a spare inside; I can fix this for you. You and your child should go home, get him some food. Food always seems to calm children down." The Uchiha said in a thoughtful manner.
"O-oh Uchiha san are y-you sure?! I could just call someone to fix this problem, no need to trouble you with this!" she fumbled for her phone inside of her pocket.
"Hyuga you are in my driveway, now take the boy home. I'll take care of this." He sighed and waited for her to unlock and open the car door, when she did he helped her gather her things. He decided to walk them home when he realized she had a few more bags than she could handle alone and while carrying a child nonetheless.
He had asked to take her car keys after helping her settle in her home, he promised to return the car later after getting it up and moving again. He had and ever since that day he began to come around quite often whenever he was back home from work. Then sometimes he would be away for months working, those were the hardest times she found. Sanosai had become very attached to the Uchiha, much more than she had ever realized.
She also became horrified with herself when she found that she actually enjoyed his company as well, originally when she decided that she wanted to adopt a child it was because she was happy in her life. Having a stable income, a comfortable home and lifestyle to have a child fit perfectly into her world. She never once thought she needed a partner to raise a child with, she was single and so happy. Everything had made such perfect sense until the day she brought her son home. The Uchiha had become a part of their life, and right from the beginning too.
Hinata took a breath and shook her head softly as she let a small giggle slip out between her rosé colored lips.
"Sanosai your playdate with Shikadai is not until tomorrow if that is whom you are waiting for." She knew she was being childish but she didn't want to believe that the Uchiha is the one her son is waiting for, it hurt too much. Still confused about her feelings towards her neighbor, she dodges these confrontational bullets every chance she gets.
"I know mommy, I'm not waiting for Shikadai."
"Then what is so fascinating out there, do you want to go and play outside sweetheart?" 'Yes, that must be it.' She smiled. 'He wants to play outside.'
"Let's go play outside baby."
But the bullet was too fast.
"No. I need to be right here, I need to wait for daddy." His hands balling into little fists, his eyes misting a bit but refusing to look back at his mother.
The bullet hit its target.
"For d-daddy? But Sano, you know that Sasuke and I are not together." She says as gently as she possibly can while kneeling down behind her son and wrapping her arms around his chest. Resting her chin on his shoulder, turning her head to face him as she nuzzles her small nose into his cheek.
"But I do know mommy, I do. You and daddy are divorced, but he's still my daddy and he's gonna come to get me, just wait mommy, he will!"
If she had any breath left before, she certainly didn't now. He's never called Sasuke "daddy" before, at least she can't remember hearing him call him that in the last three years but she's not always there when they spend time together. Sometimes she's tending to the garden in the back yard while they play catch. Does he call him daddy then? She doesn't know, she just doesn't know and now she's terrified because she doesn't know how to address this. She wants to flat out refuse Sasuke as the boy's father but when she really thinks about it, she can't blame him for misunderstanding the situation. He does treat him just like a son, they do things that a father and son duo would do.
She's at such a loss that she doesn't even know what to say or do so she sits there in a daze with her son in her arms as he stares out the window.
And they wait.
She supposes she should do something, maybe call him? To warn him of what has taken place but before she is able to shake herself out of the daze that she is in Sanosai is pushing her off of him and making a quick exit out of the front door and down the paved walkway. Immediately she snaps out of her stupor and quickly follows out of the door way. As soon as her eyes and brain make the same connection to the scene before her, she comes to a fast stop.
Sasuke Uchiha, the man that she always looked at as just the neighbor across the street and two houses down and nothing more was holding her son up in the air and slowly spinning him around. The sweet laughter coming from her son was earth shattering to her resolve; maybe it was better this way. When the Uchiha finally set Sano down and their eyes we able to connect, she wasn't confused anymore. The way his dark eyes bore into hers, she knew, oh she knew.
She can't even bring herself to be upset with her son for having run from her.
End.
(This story will possibly turn into a two shot in the near future; I'm just not completely positive of that right now but I do want to give it a shot eventually. Thank you for taking the time to read, please feel free to leave me a polite review. Xoxo.)
