2. Love
Sasuke Uchiha is not in love with Hinata Hyuuga.
No matter what Naruto might say.
…So maybe he thinks she's kind of pretty… and maybe he thinks the way she blushes and stutters is sort of cute… but, he is most definitely not in love.
Love is mushy, guys in love do stupid things like buy flowers and write love letter…
Ok so he did buy flowers for Hinata that one time, but that doesn't mean he's in love…
Oh and there was that one time when he wrote her a letter, but it wasn't a love letter…
It's not like he sent it or anything.
They live next door to each other, so of course he sees her a lot, and, so what if she cooks him dinner every now and then…
Every night…
That doesn't prove anything.
Besides, even if he was in love with Hinata (which he am not), it's none of Naruto's business any way.
…
"Sasuke and Hinata-chan sitting in a tree K-I-S-S" Naruto sang as he and Sasuke ate a ramen lunch at Ichiraku's.
"Shut up Dobe, I won't admit any thing that isn't true." Sasuke glared.
"Oh come on. What's the big deal any way, there's nothing wrong with being in lurve."
"You could at least say it right you idiot."
"So you admit it, you are in lurve!" Naruto laughed.
"I never said that!" Sasuke yelled as Sakura took a seat in between them.
"You hear that Sakura? Sasuke just admitted that he's in love with Hinata!" Naruto grinned.
"I did not!" Sasuke protested, getting quite flustered, 'Uchiha's don't get flustered' he reminded himself.
"Really!?" Sakura asked in disbelief.
"Well… Not exactly… But we all know it's true any way."
"That's true." Sakura giggled.
"Would you two idiots just shut up." Sasuke growled.
"Denial." Said Sakura and Naruto at the same time. The Uchiha rolled my eyes.
"Just because you guys are dating doesn't mean you have to say things at the same time, to tell the truth it's kind of creepy."
"Jealousy." They said together.
"That's it!" Sasuke said standing, "I'm leaving."
"To go see Hinata? I'm right aren't I?" I heard Naruto yell as Sasuke made his way out.
'What an idiot.'
…OK! So he was going to see Hinata.
Stupid Dobe.
…
"Sasuke-kun…?" queried Hinata from across the table as they ate the dinner Hinata prepared for them in silence.
"Hn?" he questioned, raising his head to look at the girl in front of him.
"I was- uhm… I was talking to Naruto the o-other day," she stuttered, "and he said that- that you- uhm that you…" she was starting to look very similar to a tomato at this point.
"What is it Hinata?" Sasuke asked calmly. 'Oh god, she's been talking to Naruto.' Sasuke thought.
"Naruto said that… that you l-love…me?" she said as more of a question than a statement. "I just… I wanted to kn-now if it was true?"
Sasuke was stunned into silence.
What was he supposed to say!?
He would never admit to Naruto that he loves her, but… when she asks him so bluntly…
He couldn't lie! I mean…
'If I said no, would I be lying?'
"You don't have to answer now…" she said with a shy smile, "but, I want you to know that… if you do l-love me… It's ok, because… I already decided… a long time ago, that- that I- that…" she stood from her chair abruptly and blurted out, "that I love you!"
Sasuke didn't move from his spot, as she stood there hands firmly resting on the table, breathing heavily.
"Uhm- I don't know- I don't know what to say now Sasuke… Would you like me to leave?" she said sadly. She must have been taking his silence as rejection.
She pushed her chair out and made her way to the door. Just as she had pulled it open, a strong callused hand grabbed her thin wrist.
The door was slammed shut and she was pushed roughly against it.
Onyx met pearl as they stared into each others eyes. They were both breathing heavily as Sasuke's face moved slowly closer to Hinata's.
Both sets of eyes fluttered shut as they're noses met.
"Don't go." He muttered before closing his lips over hers.
They're lips met awkwardly but passionately, as Sasuke urgently pushed her against the door, pushing his body fully against her.
It took Hinata a full ten seconds to realize that Sasuke was actually kissing her and that she should kiss back.
He kissed her fiercely and hung on to her so tight, she had trouble breathing, she could feel the desperation in his kiss.
As soon as Sasuke felt Hinata kiss back, he relaxed his hold and her, but did not pull away from her lips.
They were a tangle of legs and arms, but mostly lips and tongues, as they became more and more heated.
He lifted her as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
She suddenly pulled away.
She breathed heavily looking into his eyes, "I love you." she said without blushing or stuttering.
"I love you to." Sasuke sighed.
She blushed and gave him a genuine smile, before leaning in to continue their previous actions.
Ok so maybe Naruto was right, for once in his life.
