Diclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto... But I wish...
Sasuke sat in silence. He could feel the sun beating down on his back. He had so much to think about but he could barely even concentrate. He couldn't get her off of his. The way her beautiful lavender eyes sparkled when she was happy… the way she plays with her fingers all time. Nobody knew that he had a crush on Hinata. He had been attracted to her for a while now. She was the only girl that didn't cream over him all the time. He chuckled. Sakura would die if she ever found out about this.
There was a sound behind him. He whipped around and took a swing at whatever was behind him. He stopped his fist and staggered backwards when he saw the so-called "attacker". It was Hinata! She gasped and fell over backwards, food flying out of the picnic basket she was carrying.
"Are you okay?" he asked her, putting off his usual cold tone.
"I'm so sorry!" she said shyly. She quickly began putting the food back in the basket.
"It isn't your fault." He bent down to help her. Her face was beat red.
"You don't need to help me. I-I can get it. It's my fault. I shouldn't be sneaking up on you like that. I'm so clumsy! Please forgive me Sasuke-kun!"
It's okay, really. Don't be so hard on yourself," he said in a comforting voice. "I should be thinking before I act." Now's your chance! Make a move! He purposely reached for the same loaf of bread as her. Her delicate hand was soft and warm beneath his rough one. He noticed that she wasn't wearing her coat. She gasped and her hand shot away from his. It went straight to her mouth and she bit her finger. She blushed even more. Her face was practically maroon.
Tell her! "Hinata, do you mind if I tell you something?" Yes, that's right. Don't mess up now.
"Um, I-uh-well-erm," her breath caught in her throat. She paused for a second then dropped her coat and basket, put her hands over her bright red face, and ran into the forest.
"Hinata, wait! Come back!" Damn! So close! He picked up her coat. It was still warm. He brought it to his face and inhaled her scent. She smells wonderful. He spread the coat out on the ground and laid down on it. When will I be alone with her again, he thought. I'll be careful not to spook her next time. He hadn't realized how tired he was. Before he knew it he had drifted off to sleep.
