First story in a looong time so please be kind. Hope you enjoy this SasuHina!
"I can't do this anymore Hinata." He said one afternoon. It was supposed to be a special evening. It was perfect really. Candlelit dinner, romantic scenery, music. But those words ruined it. They shattered my world.
"W-W-What do y-you m-mean?" I ask frantically. Naruto's eyes avoid mine as he looks off to nowhere specific. He doesn't reply so I say, "d-did I do s-something?" Naruto looks at me shocked and shakes his head.
"No, No it wasn't you, it's me." I groan at the common break-up line.
"Naruto-"
"Sakura's going to have my child." He says and I freeze. Sakura? But..how?
"I-I..I don't understand.." Naruto sighs and looks at me with hurt in his eyes, but no sign of regret. He grabs ahold of my hands and talks.
"Hinata, I cheated on you with Sakura. She's going to have my baby and, I need to be there." He says and searches my pale eyes for a sign of understanding. He's wanted a baby for a while now but I just wasn't ready. I just turned 20. I wasn't ready for a baby. A million things run through my head. From screaming in frustration, hitting Naruto for his betrayal, to crying and forgetting about everything. After a moment, I take a deep breath and exhale calmly.
"Alright Naruto. I understand. I wish you a happy life with Sakura-san." I say avoiding his eyes. I stand up quickly and grab my bag, excusing myself and walk off. Ignoring his calls behind me, I let my tears fall silently.
The walk home was a silent one, to which I was grateful. I take the long way home, avoiding any major streets. I stop by an old hang out place that me, Kiba, and Shino used to play at when we were kids. Climbing up an old tree, I stare up at the starry night.
"Why did this happen?" I say softly, tears clouding my eyes once again. I lean against the tree trunk and sit there until my thoughts died down and I just felt numb.
"You'll catch a cold up there you know." A voice snaps me out of my trance. I look down to see Sasuke Uchiha looking up at me with his usual stoic expression. I quickly wipe away the tears that were still flowing and smile weakly.
"Oh..I-I guess y-you're right.." I say softly. His eyebrows furrow in thought before be motions for me to come down. Without thinking, I jump off the branch and land hard on the ground.
"Ow ow ow ow." I say as a sharp pain spreads through me from my ankle. Sasuke quickly grabs ahold of me and makes me sit down. I wince slightly from the pain. His calloused hands graze over my exposed, swollen, ankle.
"Now why would you jump from that high up?" He scolds, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine.
"S-Sorry. I g-guess I f-forgot how h-high I was." I stutter out. He just grunts in reply. I wince as he squeezes my ankle slightly. "Ow.."
"Sorry." He says, slight guilt in his usually dead voice. "Well it's sprained, not broken at least. If you stay off of it, it should be fine in a few days." I nod and blush at the close proximity. My sluggish brain won't let me think or react properly.
"U-Um..S-Sasuke?"
"Hm?" He says and looks at me. His dark eyes look as if they can see straight into my soul.
"C-Could you h-help me get home?" I ask shyly. A smirk appears on his face.
"I wouldn't have let you go alone even if you fought me." He says. He puts an arm around my waist and my arm around his shoulder. Lifting me up, he leans me against him so I'm not putting much pressure on my foot.
"T-Thank you." I say. He nods and we start walking. The long, slow, walk was quiet, but not an uncomfortable silence. It was actually very comforting just having his warm body next to mine. I yawn slightly and he looks at me. For a second I could have sworn he looked worried. He stops and bends down, back to me.
"Get on, this way is faster." He says. I hesitate for a moment, before awkwardly placing myself on his back. He lifts me up and continues to walk.
"A-Aren't I h-heavy?" I ask, worried. He chuckles, actually chuckles.
"No. You're very light." He says, a small smile on his face.
"Oh.." Silence again. After a few minutes he speaks again.
"Can I ask you something?"
"S-Sure. What i-is it?"
"Why were you crying?" I freeze. He saw me crying? As if he could read my mind, he replies. "Before I spoke up, I saw you crying. I couldn't comprehend why though." He furrows his brows again and I giggle at the cute sight. He glances back at me and huffs in annoyance.
"Naruto b-broke up w-with me." I say after a short pause. "H-He is h-having a k-kid with Sakura." I feel Sasuke tense up slightly before he grunts again.
"That dobe." He mutters almost inaudibly. I smile softly before leaning my head against Sasuke's shoulder. I slowly drift in and out of sleep.
"...hime.." I hear a distant voice. I can't tell if I'm dreaming or not anymore.
"...so beautiful.."
"..love...ou.."
"...wa...uo..."
"..Wake...p.."
I feel a gentle shake wake me from my sleep. I look up, vision blurry. I rub my eyes and look up at Sasuke.
"Hm?.." I say groggy.
"The keys." He says. It takes me a moment to realize I'm home. I hand him the keys to my apartment and he lifts me up bridal style from the floor, and brings me in. He lays me on the couch and I drift back to sleep. I feel a blanket cover me, and someone, Sasuke perhaps, take off my shoes.
"Sasuke?" I say with my last bit of strength. I don't even have enough energy to open my eyes.
"Hm?" He says. I can feel his presence right next to me.
"Thank you. For everything." I say. Too tired to notice I didn't stutter. I feel Sasuke stroke my hair and kiss my forehead lightly.
"You're welcome hime. Sweet dreams." He whispers. Before I slip off to sleep, I hear him say, "Tomorrows a new day. You'll find your true love someday so don't worry." I smile to myself before falling asleep. No longer feeling sadness, but hope and even some happiness.
