AN: Hello again peeps, I decided to write a series of oneshots for this ship because let's be honest, they need more love, please forgive all my mistakes in writing and i hope you all enjoy :3 Naruto doesn't belong to me

Alcohol
It was Sasuke's companion for years, it was there when he was hurt, it was there when he was angry, and it was there on times when he feels like he wanted to give up
Acceptance
She yearned for it for most of her life, she yearned to find a place where she can finally be accepted for who she is, she wanted to find the place where she belonged
~break~
Hinata wondered around the streets of Konoha, eyes glued to the pavement and hands folded infront of her
She was tired, tired in every sense, her body ached, her head hurt, her heart raced painfully and her soul was weary, after the war, she felt like her being was ripped away from her, the Hyuuga gave her title to the younger sister that deserved it more, her cousin Neji, oh Neji! she wished he was with her, it was her fault that he was gone, she was useless
She felt the familiar sting in her eyes as those thoughts kept swirling in her mind,it felt like the world rejected her, she gave her all but it wasn't enough, she was never enough, and that thought lead her through her beloved konoha, into a place she never dared visit before

Sasuke found himself in Solace, althought he was not happy being with people, he didn't particularly like the feeling he gets when left on his own
On times like these, he finds himself back at the pub, the familiar stench of alcohol burning his nose, yet he downed it like water, willing himself to swallow the horrible concoction in hopes that he swallow all his budding sorrows along with it
He didn't have the right to feel this, he was a monster, he took countless lives for the sake of revenge, someone like him shouldn't feel sadness, he was too far gone for it to be acceptable
As he was downing his second drink, a figure dropped down on the seat next to him, he looked at the figure from the corner of his eyes and a spark of familiarity reached him, it was the Hyuuga woman
He silently observed the forlorn woman, people like her shouldn't be in places like this, he can clearly see with the way she clumsily tried to drink the vile substance with little success, yet her eyes, it contained the same emptiness Itachi had when Sasuke was about to end his brother's life
Alcohol was his sanctuary, and for once, he didn't mind sharing as he slid his bottle in between them
