Drabble Two: Frost

Frost formed a cold blanket over the grass and it reminded Hinata of her friend's behaviour – a shiver ran up her shine. The medic-nin glared whenever people talked about her and Sasuke, frowned heavily with slumping shoulders as people mentioned or asked about her wedding. She ignored the Uchiha's attempts (however short or flimsy) at talking with her, often staring glumly at the ground when she walked and didn't have her chin high in confidence. She was quiet, stopped hitting Naruto whenever he did something idiotic nor did she argue with him.

The worst was, whenever she tried to talk to the pink-haired woman she'd stop moving completely and just stare. She'd become blank as a brick and her bright eyes glittered with something Hinata couldn't understand. What she would understand was if Sakura shouted, screamed and raged at her, even attack if her anger grew to too much. But instead, she just stared.

Cold, frosty is what some people are using to describe her now and Sai calls her ice. I cannot blame Sakura-chan though; she'd been in love with Sasuke since the academy. She even broke her friendship with Ino-san because of it, sure they're friends again now but it's not the same as it was. From what I saw before Sasuke left, she'd been willing to leave the village, her family – everything for him.

"Hey, here's your hot chocolate." A familiar, calming voice said and she smiled lightly, taking the cup from him. She watched him take a seat beside her on their porch; they got married a few weeks after their engagement and have gone on their honeymoon right after then, she'd started living with him in his family's remodeled estate. It's been three months.

"Thank you, Sasuke."

"Finally, dropped the kun I see. You know," He started and she turned to face him, "you should stop worrying about Sakura. She hasn't been in love with me since I tried to kill her. I wasn't the same person she fell in love with."

She jerked in shock then exclaimed, "You tried to kill her!?"

He chuckled at her reaction…until he saw her face.
