Chapter 2. Insecure

Naruto took a deep breath. Here in his arms, Sakura cried his heart out " Sasuke kun is so cold naruto, why he never understand how i feel" Tears flooding her face. Her make up is smeared and her lipstick stuck at naruto's coat. " Sakura.." Naruto sighed. He still didn't get it why sakura still having so much expectation on Sasuke. He never cares about her well being yet, her feelings are keeping flowing like a waterfall. Every now and then she keeps barging at naruto's office, whining, complaining and crying like a spoiled child.

"Sakura, i have to work.. you also" said naruto softly, his hand patting sakura's head. He will always care about her, he always has been there for her. But hokage's work are mountain pile of responsibility waiting for him. He let sakura go off his arms "Please stop stressing about Sasuke and take care of yourself more and sarada" he smiled to her softly, his hands tugging the small strand of sakura's hair.

Someone knocks in the door " come in" shout naruto. The door is opened and hinata came in with little shock in her face that she hides instantly "Sakura.. " she smiled politely " Naruto kun i bring some bento for your lunch... and maybe dinner" she turn herself to naruto. Sakura slide and walking straight past her "Well i better go back to work, thanks naruto, ja ne hinata" Then closed the door from outside.

"whoaahh such a delicious looking bento" Excitedly naruto opens the bento box. Hinata smile graciously as she always did. Hiding her jealousy, hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Ano... Naruto kun... what sakura chan doing here?" she asked carefully.

"ohhh.. ahhh sakura? she has some trouble with sasuke, she just need someone to talk to.." he said. So oblivious from hinata intense stare, her heart beat so fast like she almost has a heart attack when she noticed a red mark lipstick on Naruto's shirt.

Do you still love her? ne.. Naruto kun?! Hinata screamed inside. She grabbed the corner of her pullover and took a deep breath. She wanted to ask that but her upbringing won't let her make sounds like an insecure woman. You love her don't you. She thought herself. "Hinata?" Naruto words break Hinata's trance. "hai...?" she gasped. "Sorry i didn't came home that much, i hope you understand hinata" Naruto closed the distance between them. "hnn mochiron" she sigh and closed her eyes when naruto cupped her face.

Does it need to hurt this much when you love someone? Hinata thinking and naruto kiss her cheek. Does love always felt insecure? she stare at that blue eyes before leaving him back to work again.

Love is for sure painful. She holds her tear when for some reason it wants to come out.
