Summary: Hinata was always the shy one. She could never speak her mind. Sasuke was always the blunt one. He was hated and loved because he spoke his mind. What happens when the two meet as children? And when they reunite as teenagers?
Hinata was sitting in the Hyuuga compound garden as she often did when she wasn't training. She loved the way the trees bent to the wind, and how the flowers seem to bloom, even under the harshed conditions. She sat there by the pond, staring at her reflection. 'Why am I so weak?' She thought to herself. She poked the water to see it ripple under her touch. She notices a maid walk towards her, she stands up, back straight, eyes forward, chin up, like she was supposed to. The maid comes to tell her that her father is calling her. The maid grabs Hinata's small childish hands and all but drags her to the tea room.
Hinata gains her composure right before she is ushered through the door. She feels a slight blush creep onto her face as she sees her father has guests. She walks slowly to her place next to her father and sits down.
"Hinata, this is Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan." Hiashi motions to the other male, who seems in his mid-thirties. "And this is his youngest son Sasuke." He motions to the boy next to Fugaku. A small boy around her age of six sits next to his father, back straight and eyes on Hinata. Hinata's face turns a brighter pink.
"H-hello, n-nice t-to meet y-you." She stutters out. Hiashi looks sternly at Hinata before sighing.
"I am giving the title of heiress to Hanabi, and therefore wedding you to Sasuke, the youngest of the Uchihas." Hiashi states. Hinata's heart sinks slightly, she nods knowing she is a failure to her clan. 'At least I'll try to make father proud by being a good wife.' She thinks to herself.
"I-I u-understand f-father." She says quietly.
"Go with Sasuke to the gardens while I talk to Fugaku." Hiashi says. Hinata gets up and bows before telling the younger Uchiha to follow her. The walk to the gardens was silent. When she gets there she brings Sasuke to the pond. Sitting down she motions for him to follow.
"T-this is m-my favorite p-place." She says timidly. Sasuke sits down next to her. He looks at her and smiles.
"It's really nice." He says softly. Hinata blushes again and nods.
"W-what do y-you l-like to d-do?" Hinata says after a moment of silence.
"I like to train with my brother Itachi."
"Oh."
"You're weird you know?" Sasuke says bluntly. Hinata looks at him shocked before looking down at her hands, poking her fingers together.
"I-I'm sorry." She whispers. Sasuke looks at her and quickly apologizes. He takes her hand and she 'eeps', blushing a dark red.
"I didn't mean it in a bad way! I'm sorry, I mean you're different. I like it." He says smiling. This makes Hinata smile. After a few minutes of talking a maid comes to being Sasuke to his father. Before he leaves he hugs Hinata, and plants a quick kiss on her cheek. "Let's promise to be friends forever okay?" Sasuke says cheerfully. Hinata blushes for the tenth time that day, feeling light-headed. She nods smiling widely.
"P-promise, f-friends f-forever!"
