My Maintenance Man
Chapter 7 – The L Word
Recap: Sasuke POV
The knocking got increasingly louder and more annoying. I got up and drank half of the bottle, sat it down and slowly walk to the door. I opened it.
Hinata was standing there, her hair hanging carelessly in her face, her face a flushed pink, her clothes a bit messy from Ramen stains, but her hands were trembling and… bloody. Her eyes were red and swollen.
"What the fuck happened?"
She bit her lip and fell into my arms.
I held her. "Fuck…"
.

I rested my chin on the top of her head. She sobbed in my shirt.
I was so confused…
Or so drunk…
I pulled back trying to sober myself up. "What happened?" She looked up at me and my heart skipped. Her eyes were glassy and red. I pulled her to my couch. I watched her eye the bottles of empty beer. She wiped her face.
"I'm s-s-sorry… I didn't mean to…disturb you" She stood. I caught her wrist.
"Don't leave…"
She pulled back. "I'm leaving you… I don't want to talk to you in this state…"
"I'm fine…"
She stared at me crazy. "You stink of beer, Sasuke"
I closed my eyes for a second and stood. "I'll go brush my teeth and everything just… don't leave…"
She pushed me back, the tears streamed down again. She wrapped her arms around her body. "I… I don't l-love you"
I stood there. "So?"
Her eyes widen as she choked on her sobs. I chuckled and sat back down. "I never asked you to say it back; I didn't ask you to feel it too… I simply stated it…" I was so drunk. I looked up. "It was out of reflex anyways" She bit her lip like I had stolen her favorite toy.
It was true, for the most part.
It was something I used to do with Sakura, she practically begged me to love her and it became a routine. After sex she would clutch herself to me and say it. I said it… I never loved Sakura. I didn't have feelings for her I was simply using her for my selfish needs.
Maybe I was using Hinata, out of the habit like I had with Sakura. I stared back at her. Her arms were trembling and wounds looked bad. Not really bad but a simple Band-Aid should do.
I picked up the half drunken beer and placed it at my lips.
I really hate beer.
If I didn't love her why was I getting myself drunk?
I placed it back down and ran a hand through my hair. "Bye…" She seemed shock. I closed my eyes. "You said you don't want to talk to me in this state" I laid down. "Then leave…"
Without a second thought, she walked out but making sure to slam the door as hard as she could. Empty beer bottles fell to the floor. I rolled my eyes and pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed a number. After a few seconds of ringing, I smirked.
"Hey, Sakura…can I come over?"

Hinata POV
I slammed his door closed and fumbled with my keys. I could barely see my vision was blurred with tears and my hands were hurting. I gave up and stood there… "I don't…" I mumbled hitting my head on the locked door.
"Don't what?" I jumped and turned. Itachi was standing there with a frown sketched on his face. I clutched my heart. He smirked and walked up to me. "What's going on? Why are you crying?"
I looked down. "I'm sad…" I felt him grab my hands and stared down at them for a second and grabbed my keys. I watched him open the door. I was mentally thanking myself for cleaning up this morning. He pulled me to the island. He grabbed a towel and something out of his pocket.
A cream…
I didn't question why he carried it. He wet the towel and wiped off my hands and knuckles. The cream didn't burn, it just felt cool. He looked up and smiled. "Tell Itachi what's going on?"
I blushed. "I punched a wall…" He just watched me. "Instead of Sakura's face…" Again he just watched me with those onyx eyes, much like Sasuke's.
Sasuke…
I felt my eyes burn again. I wanted him to fight for me. I know it's selfish and needy but I just wanted to know, Naruto told me he loved me all the time but failed to show it. I just wanted to know if it was real. Itachi grabbed my cheeks and rubbed the new tears with his thumbs. My breath hitched when I noticed how close he was.
I closed my eyes. I felt him kiss my temple. "My brother and Naruto stupid" I paused. He chuckled. "How can a man let go of someone like you… takes a fool" I knew my ear turned red. His hair hung carelessly over his shoulders; it was usually in a loose ponytail.
"I don't understand…"
His hand rest on my knee, I watched him. What was I doing? I wasn't a slut!
But for the moment, he would be a substitute for his idiot brother; he would be just a little high. I parted my legs and he grabbed my face again but this time hovered over my lips. Itachi was so mature.
He was taller and broader than Sasuke. He smirked. "You're simply stunning… even when crying" I stared at him. I closed my eyes. I didn't want to hear sweet nothings!
He pressed his lips on mine. His kiss was nothing like Sasuke. Sasuke was a mixture of everything… he made me feel everything at once. My body was in complete chaos.
Itachi…
He made me feel… hot.
My skin felt like it was on fire. I pulled him closer. He bit my top lip and started back. I felt his hand linger on my knee.
Sasuke did everything on his own time, he took a chance… he never waited for permission just acted on whatever he thought of. Today at work I just wanted to call him and cry.
I felt Itachi step back. "Sorry…"
I knew I was crying again. "No, I'm sorry"
He did a face-palm. "That was completely out of line…"
I shook my head. I just wanted Sasuke. Itachi soon left. I crumbled into my bed and ignored my vibrating phone all night.

Sasuke POV
I pulled up to Sakura's house. I rang the doorbell. She opened the door and jumped on me.
I pushed her into a wall, I knew it was pretty hard by the way she winced, but I didn't care. She giggled and pulled me into her backroom. I pushed her on the bed and started ripping off her clothes. She was nothing compared to Hinata.
She smiled and pulled off my shirt. "So you dropped the Hyuuga?" I ignored her and pulled her onto my lap. I didn't want to talk about Hinata, especially not to Sakura, she had a purpose.
She unzipped my pants, I reached into my pocket. She pouted. "Not this time… come on!" I watched her.
"Not a fucking chance…"After I finished she grumbled and eased herself on me. I watched her bounce and grind into me. I let my head rest on the head board. I wasn't feeling this, but I wanted to so bad… I wanted to forget about Hinata.
I pushed Hinata-
Sakura… I pushed Sakura down and started to thrust as deep as I could. I zoned in and out of reality, when I zoned back in Sakura was screaming my name. I shook my head and pulled out.
She sat up. "What the fuck?"
I pulled up my pants. "I'm leaving…" I walked to the door. She ran behind me.
"Don't leave me!" I turned around. I don't remember the last time I actually kiss this girl. I pushed her gently. Her eyes started to tear up. "What did you do to Hinata?"
She gasped. "You're not over her yet! Damn, Sasuke just forget about her!"
"What did you do?"
She smirked. "Nothing, I'm her boss for the next couple of months"
I frowned and slammed the door.
I sat in my car. "FUCK!" I drove off.

Hinata POV
The weekend was uneventful.
Morning came. It was Monday and thank goodness I don't have to work on Mondays. I wanted to sink further in my bed. I reached over and grabbed the phone. It was so hot in the apartment. I pushed off the covers and sat up. Sweat was everywhere.
I looked out the window. There was a heat wave and it seemed my AC stopped working. I looked at my cell.
10 – Missed Calls
Four from Ino, Four from Hanabi, one from father and one from Neji
5 – Unread Messages
Ino: Call me!
Ino: What's going on with your cell?
Neji: Why aren't you answering?
Kiba: Hey!
Hanabi: You better answer that damn phone!
I tossed my phone on my bed as I sluggish walked the AC. It read 85 degrees. I groaned and tried clicking every button on the little thingy. Sasuke usually fixed these things! I got sad all over again.
I pulled on some shorts and a big shirt. I walked outside. I was going to ask him to fix it then he was going to leave. That's it.
I knocked on the door. After a minute as usual I knocked harder.
The door opened and Itachi was standing there. I coughed. "My AC isn't w-working is Sasuke here?"
He smirked. "You haven't heard?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Haven't heard what?"
"Sasuke got into a car wreck Friday…" He sighed. "He is at Konoha hospital in room 330"
I gasped. "What!" I felt my eyes burn.
He nodded. "You should go see him…"
"I don't know…"
He handed me a bag. "Those are his clothes and other personal stuff" I looked up and he shut the door. I ran into my apartment and grabbed my keys.
.

I walked into the hospital. I always wanted to be a nurse…but for children. I walked up the counter. A blonde lady was sitting there smiling. "Hello, welcome to-"
"Sasuke Uchiha… umm… he is in room 330?" I cut her off.
She looked down at the computer. "That seems right…that's on the third floor, to your left." She pointed I nodded and walked through the halls. Soon I was at his door. His name was sloppily written on the door. I sighed and pushed the door open.
I walked in. He was lying in the bed, I guess he was asleep. I set his things down quietly. I walked down. He had scratches over his face. Bruises covered his arms; his left hand was in a sling. My eyes looked over his body. His right foot was in a thick cast.
I felt myself crying again. "I'm so tired of crying…"
"Then stop it"
I looked up and Sasuke was smiling at me. I hugged him and he winced. I pulled back. "I'm sorry!" He chuckled and nodded. I pouted. "You're an idiot!" He watched me. I wiped my eyes. "I'm still mad at you!"
He closed his eyes and pushed himself up. "For what exactly?"
"Being a total dick and hurting yourself!"
"I can't help that…" I watched him. "It's your fault"
"How is it my fault?"
He coughed. "If you didn't go hurting my feelings, I wouldn't have drank, if I wouldn't have drank then you wouldn't have gotten mad at me, if you wouldn't have gotten mad then I wouldn't have went to Sakura's house…"
My breath hitched.
"I tried sleeping with her but I only thought of you and before I knew it, I was being rushed into the hospital" I scoffed.
"I don't care if every bone in your body is broken that sweet talk isn't going to make me forgive you" He smiled and winced.
"I know you enjoy one special bone…" I blushed and threw his bag at him. He grunted. The door opened and the nurse watched us.

Sasuke POV
Hinata looked as if she been caught stealing the last cookie. I always noticed she had on my shirt which was way too big on her small frame. I decided not to taunt her about it just yet.
The nurse was really skinny with long gray hair but she was young no more than twenty-five. I looked at Hinata and she looked back and forth. The nurse smiled and shook Hinata's hand. "Hello, I'm Mao. You're his… wife?"
She blushed. "N-no…"
Mao looked at me. "Girlfriend?" She shook her head.
Hinata smiled. "Neighbor…"
Mao laughed. "Sorry, are you here to pick him up, he is being discharged today" She looked at me to Mao to me again and slowly nodded.
They put me in a wheel chair, even though I still had a good leg. We pulled up at home and Hinata helped me into my apartment. I was putting pressure on my broke foot so Hinata wouldn't be doing too much work. She struggled.
It was cute.
I limped to the couch and she tripped over my foot. I yelled as she fell on my torso. She squealed. She was inches away from my face.
My heartbeat skipped.
I couldn't fight the pain anymore…
I took in a deep breath and looked in her eyes.
"Hinata…"
She blushed and watched me.
.
"You're on my foot…"
