Very cheesey, angsty, and just plain fluff. Post-war Narutoverse? No kiddie Sasuhina this chapter. They will return though. I apologize in advance due to how horrible this oneshot is. I had to get this idea out. I couldn't hold it in, albeit I have no excuses. This doesn't flow. I'm just a horrible writer. Sigh.

Hinata had waited all day to see her boyfriend. She was heading towards the Uchiha compound at the far end of Konoha to where Sasuke was.. Her fingers were laced between the handles of a woven-straw basket that held the dishes she had prepared. She had prepared him an elaborate dinner with a plethora of tomato dishes. Sasuke had loved tomatoes for as long as he can remember.

She had passed Ichiraku Ramen.

An image of his emotionless and apathetic face flashed before her eyes. Four years had passed since they have been together and it was still strange to her. Love was an enigma to the Hyuuga. Ever since Hinata was little, she was taught that Uchihas were calculating, worthless, and were not capable of love. That was a fact of life, wasn't it?

She had passed the Hokage Tower.

It was the complete opposite. It couldn't be further from the truth. Uchihas were people who had loved the most. They had loved so much that it had pained them. It had hurt them. Loving too much was a flaw of Uchiha Sasuke. Hinata had known. She had known all too well.

Love had pained her too. Hinata had poured all heart and soul into the Hyuuga clan and had received nothing in return. Loving someone only brought you pain.

Sasuke and Hinata understood each other. There was an air of understanding and mutual trust between them. They were both introverts who appreciated the serenity of silence. Silence had brought them peace, a peace undisturbed and tranquil.

She was at the gate of the Uchiha Compound. Ancient oriental tiered-styled roofs graced the Uchiha compound. Flowers filled the once-infertile land. The field of flowers ranged from camellias, lavenders, azaleas, to chrysanthemums provided by the Yamanaka family. Sasuke and Hinata had planted these flowers to mourn the deceased in honor of his clan.

She knocked three times on the door of the Uchiha. The door opened revealing an Uchiha smirking at Hinata. Pale eyes met Obsidian orbs.

Hinata noticed that Sasuke's was covered in flour and took a finger to gently scrape the ghost-white substance off of his shirt. Hinata tried to restrain a chuckle from escaping. She didn't know why Sasuke was covered in flour and decided asking him would be a good idea. She cocked an eyebrow at her boyfriend.

"Why are you covered in flour, Sasuke-kun?" questioned the pale woman. Her voice was soft and sweet like the smell that radiated off the geometrical petals of flowers. Sasuke could never get enough of her voice. Hearing her voice made Sasuke feel safe. It had made him feel like he still had a reason to be in this world.

Sasuke sheepishly placed a hand behind his head. "It's a surprise, Hinata". The avenger had a look of pride on his face. Hinata smiled. Sasuke was never a person who liked surprises, but he had gone out of his way to make her happy. Hinata obediently followed him inside. She placed the straw basket down on the table.

Flour, sugar, knives, and the smell of cinnamon filled the little kitchenette. It was astounding to see such a mess. Hinata couldn't help but smile at the effort Sasuke had put in. She was going to help him clean up after, even if he refused. She knew the Uchiha ego was too big to accept help, but she wouldn't allow that.

"Close your eyes." ordered Sasuke. Hinata obeyed. She shut her lavender eyes as directed. Soft lashes fluttered as she struggled to keep her orbs shut.

Hinata felt the presence of his hand travel up her body and trailed towards her delicate face. Calloused hands met with soft, untainted skin. She had missed his touch so much. Sasuke placed his fingers on her cheeks then he worked his way to her nose and forehead and lips.

The Uchiha smirked.

Hinata eyes opened and noticed Sasuke had gotten flour all over her face. "That's not fair, Sasuke-kun." Hinata pouted. Her face was burning and flushed to a hue of pink. "Y-you got flour all over me!" The hyuuga would never throw a tantrum around her friends, but with Sasuke it was different. She could express herself when he was around. Maybe the avenger and his mentality had rubbed off on her?

Oh. She had to get him back.

Hinata got on her heels and tiptoed up to the Uchiha's face. Their height difference was astounding due to her petite stature, but Hinata was not afraid. She kissed his cheeks, his forehead, his nose, and finally his lips.

The flour transferred from her lips to different parts of his face. Sasuke wanted to laugh, but he wouldn't give her the satisfaction.

"You're going to pay for that, Hinata." threatened Sasuke. Hinata gave him a sheepish smile.

Sasuke took her by the waist with one arm. "S-sasuke-kun!" He had taken her by suprise. He had known her one weakness. Hinata was very ticklish and she had only shared that weakness with her mother.

Sasuke started tickling her at her stomach and worked his way to her sides. He loved teasing her.

Hinata couldn't breathe. The air was knocked out of her lungs due to laughing uncontrollably. She hated being tickled against her will. It was already bad enough being a shinobi who was ticklish.

Sasuke stopped and placed Hinata down. A smirk was ever so present on his face as Hinata started to regain her composure. Hinata was so embarrassed that she could feel her cheeks burning up again. Her cheeks were as red as tomatoes.

He went towards the counter. A confectionary box with pink ribbons laid on the surface. Sasuke took the box and placed it in the fingers of the girl. Hinata saw that cinnamon rolls – her favorite things in the world- filled the box Tears started to cloud to her vision as shock overcame her. Nobody had ever given her such a meaningful present before.

"S-sasuke.." mumbled the girl.

Sasuke grabbed her shoulders and pulled her in towards his chest. It took Hinata by surprise. He wrapped his arms around her. The embrace felt natural. Sasuke was never this physically close to a girl. The only exception was his mother.

"Happy Birthday, Hinata." Uchihas were not very verbal, but it was from his heart.

The girl started sobbing quietly even more. She wrapped her arms around his torso.

"Thank y-you..." was all that escaped from her lips.
