Sasuke was crushed.
Absolutely, entirely, desperately, crushed.
He sobbed into his palms, muttering his sorrows to himself.
He really thought Hinata was still waiting for him. But when he secretly returned to Konoha to see her, she was not happy.
Flashback
"Sasuke," Hinata breathed, her lavendar eyes wide as she stared at the raven-haired Uchiha she had not seen in years. He was much taller, much more muscular, and definitely much more handesome than before.
"Hinata," Sasuke exhaled. He slowly walked towards her, and was confused when she stepped back. "Hinata?"
Hinata was backed into the wall now as Sasuke tried approaching her even further. She held a glare through her gaze and Sasuke held his mouth agape. "What's going on, Hinata?"he asked, frustrated.
"You left," Hinata spat. "That is what's wrong, Sasuke."
Sasuke's eyes widened.
"You LEFT!" Hinata shouted at him, getting off the wall, and now it was Sasuke's turn to stumble back. "And not once did you come back! You left me, Konoha, all of your friends, Sasuke, and we had no idea, no, Ihad no idea if you were dead or not! Who does such a thing, Sasuke?!"
Sasuke hung his head in shame. "Hinata…" he murmured. "I'm truly, very sorry…"
Hinata sneered at him in disgust. "I loved you."
Sasuke's head shot up at the mention of their past relationship. "Please, Hinata," he choked. "Don't… don't end what we have. I love you. I came back for you. I want you to come with me, Hinata."
Hinata was shocked he was asking her such a thing, almost offending her. "You want me to… come with you?" she whispered.
"Please… I can't be without you any more, Hinata." He stepped towards her again and grasped her hands, his chapped lips resting on her own, softer ones.
Hinata's eyes widened, and she felt Sasuke's hand grasp both her hands and the other went to grab some of her hair, deepening the kiss. His beautiful face looked so content with her, and it made her glass heart piece together again as if he had never left. But… he was a traitor. He had broken her… how dare he! She roughly shoved him off with all her strength, and she saw all the hurt and rejection in Sasuke's eyes as he landed on the ground. He looked up at her, and her breath hitched. She could very well tell that this was killing him. That she should just go with him. Tears were forming in his eyes like a child and he whimpered his love's names, desperately pleading.
"Get. Out." She hissed at him.
Sasuke gulped and mustered everything in him to be mad at her. "Fine!" he yelled. "This was your only chance to be with me! And now you won't ever fucking see me again! Great fucking job, Hinata!"
He stood and patted himself off, giving her a soul- piercing glare.
He stood for just a few seconds more, hoping she would say something. But when she didn't, he growled at her and hopped out the window.
As soon as he was gone, Hinata collapsed to the floor and began sobbing her heart out. "What have I done?" she cried out.
Not too far away from her, Sasuke was sitting on a rock, also crying for all he was worth. "Hinata…" he muttered over and over. He knew it was his job to protect her, to love her, and to cherish her… but when she just rejected him like that, he entirely lost it…
His soaked palms dug into his palms, ebony spiked hair falling over his face, struck by despair… "Hinata," he sobbed. "I'll never see you again, Hinata…" he hicupped. "But I swear, I'll always love you…"

I wanted to write something like this… a picture on DeviantArt by =WesternPinkLotus made me think of this. It is called "Hinata... I... Love You " and it made me think of what would happen if Sasuke was rejected…
Mata atode !
