.
She sat on the opposite end of the couch sipping her hot chocolate. His face was of contentment. She pushed her hair behind her ear. "Sasuke?"
"Mm." He looked over lazily. She stared at him for a moment before shaking her head bringing her mug back up to her lips. "Just tell me."
She looked down in her cup at the swirling steam. "I'll tell you later." She mumbled pulling her sweatshirt over her knees.
"I want to know now."
She looked up at him. His eyes were focused in on her now. She brought her hand over her head pulling her hair over her shoulder. "I'm not even…" She gripped the cup. "I think…"
He leaned forward rotating his wrist for her to continue. "What?"
She put her cup down. "I think… there's…" She brought her palm to her mouth shaking her head. "I…" She took a deep breath. "My massacre didn't come…" She watched him closely.
"What are you trying to say?" His voice didn't rise or fall. His face didn't twist or turn. His onyx eyes just burned her.
She looked up. "You know what I'm trying to say."
He brought his hand to the bridge of his nose. "Are you sure?"
She shook her head. "No."
His eyes widen slightly before returning to normal. "Have you tested yourself?"
"No."
He gritted his teeth. "What have you done?"
She slapped her hands on her lap with an annoyed smile. "Slept with you."
He fought the twitch of his lip. "Don't you think you should test yourself?"
She nodded. "I do."
"Then why haven't you?" He voice was still flat. He was really good at this.
She wrung her hands. "I'm scared. I have them… I just didn't want to be alone."
This time his eye twitched. "You have them with you."
She nodded. "Yes."
"Right now?" He pointed down to show emphasis.
"Yeah, yes!" She frowned.
"You want me to be there… here?"
She nodded. "It's your fault anyway."
He raised his hand. "Last time I checked it took two to create a…" He nodded. "You know?"
"Baby." She spoke. "You mean a baby. Are you afraid to say it?"
His eyes narrowed at her. "Let's just take the test," She grabbed her tote bag. "So I can see if I have to kick you out or not."
"Sasuke!"
He looked at her. "What?"
She frowned. "Why would you say that?!" She pushed him. "How…" She looked down. "I…"
He patted her head. "Hey, I was joking."
She looked up. "Seriously?"
He shrugged. "Depends how I feel." She pushed him again. "Joking, just kidding."
"Stop it." She muttered walking into his room. She sat on the bed handing him the box. "Read it."
He frowned holding it. "Why do I have to read it?"
She groaned. "I get sick just holding the box." He sat on the bed reading the directions quietly. "No, speak up." She poked him.
He sighed. "Basically, one line means negative and two lines means positive. Best results take multiple."
"I got four more."
His eye twitched. "I'm getting sick."
She fanned her face dramatically. "S-Stop it! I'm going to cry!"
"You? I'm about to cry." He muttered.
She punched him. "You're so unsupportive!"
He sighed. "Inwardly, I'm supporting you inwardly."
She sighed. "What if it's positive?"
He crossed his arms. "I'm shipping you off to the next three cities over." He saw her face fall even more. "Kidding," She wiped her face. "Hey, whatever happens just happens. I… will be there for you or whatever." He looked away.
She smiled. "Really?"
"Don't get weird just take the tests." She nodded walking into the bathroom pulling down her underwear. "Close the door!"
"No!" She shouted from her seat on the toilet.
"I don't want to see that! Do you want me to be un-attracted to you?"
She pouted. "You'll be attracted to me even if I covered in shit."
"That's gross and weird." He laid back on the bed.
"No watch!"
"No!" He covered his face. This woman was just crazy. "You really know how to pick them, ne Sasuke?" He questioned himself.
"You said you'll be there!" She yelled.
"Not on the toilet!"
She sniffled. "Saaasuke!"
He sat up. "Fine, burn all the sexiness out of my head!"
She giggled. After she got done they sat on the bed. Hinata was wringing her hands and Sasuke was lying on his bed with his eyes closed. "How can you be so calm?" She muttered.
"I'm just surprised it took this long."
She closed her eyes. "Maybe this is a sign, you know?"
His eyes opened half way. "A sign of what?"
She chewed on her lip. "That we shouldn't keep doing this…"
"Nonsense…" He looked at his watch. "It's time."
They walked into the bathroom. "This is gross."
She sighed. "What does yours say?"
He shrugged. "I got two negatives."
She looked at hers. "Me too…" She looked at him. "Aaah!" She covered her face feeling tears run down her face.
"What? Why are you crying now?" He threw them in the trash.
"I'm happy!" She did a little cabbage-patch dance. "That would have been HORRIBLE!" She gawked.
He smirked. "Yay."
"Aren't you happy?" She asked.
"Inwardly, I am throwing myself a party." He grabbed her shoulders. "We should celebrate."
She stepped back. "No way! That was a stroke of luck!"
He nodded. "Well I want a stroke of fuc-"
"Sasuke!" She walked in the bedroom. "We have to be careful! Very, very careful."
"Even if it did happen my genes would be dominate so the kid would have been good-looking."
She tapped her chin. "I really think you just insulted me."
He grabbed her waist. "We'll be careful. That could have ruined your body…ew."
"Jerk…" He turned her around. "Stupid…" He kissed her.
"Un-huh" She kissed him back.
.
.
Honestly, he didn't know whether to be ecstatic or what. He sighed. If it had happened who better than a woman that loved kids, taught them and could hold her own. Then again, he was jumping for joy, in his head. He was known to overreact to things.
.
He looked over at the bag of painkillers, Reese Cups and Cinnamon rolls… "I have everything?" He checked again. "I should have brought a movie. Girls like that sappy shit."
He glared at her apartment. "She owes me for this!" He growled touching his door handle. "Sasuke, get out you douchebag!" He groaned.
"She sounded like she was dying…" He froze. "Was she bleeding to death?" He opened up the car door and ran to her apartment. "Shit, forgot the shit!" He ran back to the car. "Okay, Uchiha calm down."
He took a deep breath. "Alright just be cool as fuck!" He nodded walking up to her door and rang the doorbell. He shifted on his foot. "She might be dead…"
The door opened with her looking like a sad puppy. He couldn't fight the smirk. "I got your crack."
.
.
.
He pulled in front of her apartment biting his nails. "What am I waiting for?" He closed his eyes. He remembered how hard he worked to even get her to go out with him. It would him almost the WHOLE summer!
.
Almost 2 years ago
She walked out of the store walking to her car. "Princess!"
"Awh shit…" She whispered turning to see Sasuke run up to her. "Hi…" She put her bags in the car.
He ran a hand through his hair before licking his lips. She mentally laughed. Is that what he uses to get girls? "You rejected me a total of 46 times."
She sighed. "Well… it's 47 today."
He groaned. "Am I that repulsive to you?"
She stared at him before nodding quickly. "Pretty much."
He laughed. "You were supposed to say something nice… I get you not to stutter and you're a new person."
"Not really. I just don't like you." She looked at her watch. "I have to go, seriously."
He grabbed her wrist. "That kiss forty-seven days ago is fading…I can barely feel it anymore."
She looked at his hands that were making small circles on her hips to the stupid look on his face. "You tricked me into kissing you. That's good." She smacked his away from her.
He rubbed his temples. "You are the most infuriating woman I ever met!" She stared at him blankly. "And for some reason… because of that reason I can't get you out of my mind."
She shifted on her hip. "How many girls have you told that to?"
He rubbed his neck. "One-" She turned. "You… I… You've rejected me for a lifetime, princess."
She sighed turning to him. "My name is Hinata! Hinata Hyuuga and I do not want anything to do with you!" She threw her hands in the air. "I swear it's like you don't understand what no means. I'm leaving." She walked to the other side. He followed her around. "Wh-"
He cupped her face. "Shut up…"
"Hey-"
He pressed his lips to hers at first she didn't response and it seemed like she was never going to. She didn't push him anyway either. He stepped closer pressing their bodies together as his hands moved from her cheeks to her neck.
Her eyes fluttered for a moment before she mocked him softly. He almost smirked if he wasn't so focused. She rested her hands on his shoulders. He deepened the kiss until he heard a moan. She seemed freaked out by her own noise because she pushed him away. "Kami, what do you want?" She hissed.
"A date. A real official date." He smirked closing the distance again.
She sighed. "If I go on a date with you will you leave me alone?"
He shrugged. "Depends if it goes well or not…"
She closed her eyes trying to think until she felt lips brushing against her. "Fine!"
He pulled away. "Fine?"
She nodded. "I have to go now." She got in her car. He leaned over. She rolled her lilac orbs at him. "What now?"
He shrugged. "You won't regret it…Hi-na-ta…" He watched her blush. He tapped the car. "I'll text you the information."
She smiled. "Cool I changed my number," She watched his eyes widen before she drove off. She giggled seeing him in the rear view mirror stomping off. "He is a good kisser." She mumbled absently to herself.
.
.
.
He sighed. He took her to the summer amusement park. Everything was perfect that night. She even gave him a kiss on the cheek afterwards, voluntarily. The second date he took her to a five-star restaurant but they end up arguing the whole time, that was pretty fun too until the end when she stormed out of his car and refused to talk to him.. for three weeks.
He refused to cave first.
He did and was utterly ashamed of himself.
The third date… well it wasn't a date more a gathering with a lot of other people and he saw sitting there so he simple seized the moment. It was a party… for Ino's birthday? He really couldn't remember. That's when it all started.
All he remembered was waking up next to her. He could get used to that… and he did.
.
She groaned. "What the hell?" She rolled over seeing onyx eyes staring back at her before screaming. "What happened?!" She looked down at her naked body. "You took advantage of me?"
He yawned. "I would never."
She narrowed her eyes poking him in his…well-toned chest. "You would." He grinned. She gasped pushing him before he grabbed her wrist.
"Let me go."
He sighed rolling on her. "If it makes you feel any better I can't remember anything," He shrugged. "I'm pretty depressed about it." He kissed her neck.
"I'm grateful!" She squirmed then blinked seeming to calm down. "You have a lip ring?" She touched the black orb under his lip.
"Oh yeah… got it a while back. I don't normally wear it unless I'm going out…" He trailed off noticing she wasn't paying attention. "Do you like it?"
She blinked. "Oh…uh, yeah I've always wanted one."
He kissed her chin. "Don't do that to such a beautiful face."
She sighed. "I don't know if you're super corny or extra cheesy."
"Pretty sure it's the same thing." He grinned.
She sighed rubbing her face. "I want to leave now. You got what you wanted can I just go?"
He sighed. "You assume I'm that kind of guy?"
She pushed herself up on one elbow. "I know you're that type of guy." He kissed her shoulder. "Ne, Sasuke…" She sighed.
"Let's do it again…" He stared at her.
"Why?" She frowned.
He straddled her waist. "It's a shame how you resist me, seriously." He smirked. "It only makes me want you more, you know?"
She shrugged. "Fine."
His character broke. "F-Fine?"
She nodded. "Why not? Faster you get done faster I can just go."
He shook his head. "You will find anyway to ruin the mood, huh?" She nodded happily. "I'm not easily swayed, princess." He grinned darkly.
After they finished Sasuke couldn't help but grin. "We should do that more often."
She covered her face. "Un-huh…" She sighed happily.
He turned over. "So you agree?"
She turned towards him. "You don't have a secret girlfriend, wife, or fiancée right?"
"Ugh, no." He sat up.
She pushed her up. "I guess so…"
"You guess so?"
She smiled. "Why do you always repeat me?"
He shrugged. "Do I?"
"Do you?" She closed her eyes. "No emotions… it gets too awkward after that."
He nodded. "Where have you been all my life?" He pushed her down.
.
He snickered. "I'm so fucking cool." He sighed. "I really have to stop talking to myself. "I remember when she caught me."
.
She popped out the bathroom walking into the kitchen. Sasuke was leaning against the island looking at nothing really. "It could be a lot worse…" He muttered.
She looked around. Was he seriously talking to himself?
"Yeah, it could. I'm overreacting as usual." He sighed. "But I should keep my eyes out for it." He stood up straight. "Hell yeah."
She stepped out. "Sasuke?"
He whipped around. "Huh?"
She scratched her cheek. "You were talking to yourself."
He nodded. "Who understands me better than me?"
She nodded. Good point. "It was kind of creepy though." He grinned walking up to her. "Sasuke…"
"Mm…"
"Are you crazy?"
He laughed. "Only on weekdays."
"But it's Saturday."
He shrugged. "I could be crazy." He kissed her. "I don't hurt myself."
She stepped back pushing her hair out of the way revealing a rather large red bruise on her neck. "You hurt me."
"Mm… maybe I'm a sadist. But admit it you liked it." He kissed the bruise making her shudder. "Maybe you're a masochist?"
She grinned walking away. "Maybe I am…"
.
He sighed getting out the car. "It's time."
Ding Dong
She sighed putting it down. "Who the hell is this?" She walked to the door. Sasuke was leaning against the doorframe. She covered her mouth.
He pushed himself up. "Hi…"
She chewed on her lip. "Hey…"
He nodded. "You left this." He handed her a purple toothbrush. "I… that's pretty gross." He sighed. "Can I come in?"
She frowned. "Why?"
He rubbed his face. "Naruto was babbling on about something called 'closure'… do you know of it?"
She nodded. "I do."
He smirked. "I can I get some of it…please." Was he seriously asking for closure like a cup of sugar?
She looked down. "I really don't want to talk to you." She grabbed the door knob.
"Please…" He muttered before he stepped back into character. His hand went to his hip and point accusingly at her. "Like how dare you?"
She scoffed. "How dare I? How dare you?"
He pushed himself in before closing the door. "What did I do?"
She gawked. "I didn't let you in!"
He shrugged. "Answer me."
She rolled her eyes. "I don't have to answer anything. I don't want anything to do with you."
He nodded. "Yet you have on my shirt."
She looked down at the white button-down shirt that was indeed his. "So what? It's comfortable and sof-" She shook her head. She didn't have to explain herself to him."No, jerk! Get out of my house!"
"Apartment, not a house."
She pushed him. "Out!"
He grabbed her shoulders. "Stop trying to fight me."
"Stop telling me what to do!"
He let her go. "Stop not doing what I say!"
"Stop acting like you give a shit." She pushed him.
He pulled his hair. "WHAT IF I DO!?" He barked out.
She groaned throwing her hands up. "WHAT IF YOU DO WHAT?" She shook her head.
He took a step back. He didn't come here to yell. "What if I do give a shit?"
She shrugged. "I don't care."
He laughed. "But you do. You do care or you would have done that really girl shit by burning my clothes or something. You wouldn't be sporting around in my clothes."
"Sporting? Sasuke get out."
He sat on the couch. "You're going to have to pick me up and drag me out."
She stood in front of him. "Why are you doing this? Why can't you l-leave me alone?"
He sighed. "I fucking can't…"
She felt tears burning her eyes. "P-Please…" She turned. "Just go…"
"I can't!" He yelled causing her to flinch. "I see your stupid little face everywhere!"
She turned to him. "My face is stupid."
He nodded. "The stupidest face I've ever seen!" And just like that she slapped him. He shrugged. "Hit me. Punch me or Bite me anything you like…" She forgot just who he was. He enjoyed being hit.
She hissed at him. "What is wrong with you?"
"I've been trying to figure that shit out for three weeks now. I didn't even last three weeks without you. It's sad, really."
She nodded. "That's sad."
He sighed. "You've been fine without me?"
"Not as shitty as you."
He laughed. "I was the one abandoned without a real reason. My mother went off on me for letting you go." She stared at him. "Why did you leave me?"
She closed her eyes. "Sounds like you have abandonment issues."
He frowned. "You do too," She rubbed her arm and he sighed. "Tell me why?"
"I started feeling things…" She wrung her hands. "I know… we aren't…" She sat on the couch. "I don't want to have these feelings for you."
He closed his eyes nodding. "Do they disgust you?"
She nodded. "Yes."
He nodded handing her the toothbrush. "I should be going." She stared at him going to the door. His head held up high. "I'll get someone to drop off your stuff."
She sighed. "I already got everything," She looked at the toothbrush. That damn Itachi distracted her. "You didn't notice."
He turned. "Obviously, this closure thing doesn't feel at all like I expected."
She pulled her knees up hugging them loosely staring at the floor. "Never does."
"Yeah, well is this it?" He stared at the door.
"Yeah…"
He nodded. "Is it wrong that I want you," He turned fully to her. "One last time?"
She blushed nodding slowly. "You should go…"
He smirked. "You're right. Goodbye." He opened the door. She flinched at the click of it. She closed her eyes.
It's for the best. It is and you'll see that! You will! Hinata… you better not! I know you aren't about to cry! Stop it, right now.
"S-Sorry…" She covered her mouth sinking into her couch.
Hinata please stop it! You have too many things to focus on!
"I have to ask him!"
No you don't! Let him go!
She ran to the door and opened it to see him still standing there. "S-Sasuke?"
"I can't move." He grumbled looking at his feet. "My feet are being stupid."
"How do you feel?" She whispered.
"Stuck." He fixed his slumped posture. "Physically and mentally."
"How do you feel about me?" She stared at his back.
"I don't know."
She had to stay strong. "Then why did you even come!"
"I wanted closure… but this isn't what I thought it was…" She saw him clench his fist.
"What did you think?"
He froze. "I don't fucking know!"
"Then leave!" She pushed him even though he didn't budge. "Go! Just go away! I hate you!" He pivoted on his heel. "S-Stop just go away!"
He grabbed her chin. "You piss me off so much."
"Sa-"
He shook his head. "I get it. I shouldn't have taken you to Kumo but you shouldn't have left, coward like that bitch Cinderella! You should have stayed and danced. Then you bitch about how you feel and these fucking new emotions," He dropped his hands. "I have feelings for you Sasuke but at the same time I hate myself for it." He mocked.
She heaved. "Well-"
He raised his hand. "I am not done! Stop being so passive aggressive with me, if you're going to slap me don't apologize. If you're going to push me don't try to hold me," He pulled his bangs. "If you run from me don't expect me to just KNOW to chase you, dick."
She poked him in the chest. "You're innocent, huh? Sasuke is always right! No, you aren't. You are rarely ever right, asshole! If anyone is passive aggressive it's you! I hate you so just go away."
He grabbed her head. "Shut up."
"I rather eat hot rocks than be with you."
He stared at her. "I said shut up."
She grabbed his hands trying to pry them off. "No, I rather be buried alive and eaten by ants."
"SHUT UP!" He yelled.
"NO!" She shouted back.
He panted pushing her against the wall. "I love you." He growled. "There I fucking said it."
She stared at him before shaking her head. "N-No! Stop lying."
"I fucking love you, you stupid woman." He pressed his forehead to hers.
She pressed her lips to him. "I lo-"
.
.
"SASUKE WAKE UP!" The onyx eyed man jolted up still bathed in his own flith and empty beer bottles. He looked into bright blue eyes. "Dude, you passed out once I started my speech."
"Hinata…" He croaked. It was all a dream? Everything… He closed his fist. "Where is Hinata?"
Naruto shrugged. "Home I guess, are you going for some closure."
He jumped up rummaging in his closet for clean clothes. "Hell no."
Naruto frowned. "I thought-"
"I gotta go, dobe. I have to tell her…" Could he even say it aloud? Dammit if he had to spell it out he would. Was all of her things really gone? He walked to the dresser. His cologne and knick-knacks were properly placed.
But all of her things were gone.
"That you love her."
He frowned at the blond. "Get out of my room."
"But Sasuke-"
"Get the fuck out!" He shouted running into the bathroom and started peeling off his dirty clothes and to his surprise sitting next to his blue toothbrush was a purple one.
.
.
.
Hinata sat on the couch watching TV and eating a slice of pizza. She had successfully broken things off with Kiba because "Using him to get over Sasuke was wrong" Honestly, Kiba talked and talked all day. She was a fairly quiet person so things were bound to fail.
She just wanted to put BOTH Uchiha boys in the back of her mind, preferably the Shedder of Hinata's Mind. From the kiss with Itachi to Sasuke's existence.
That was a good plan.
She heard a knock at the door. "Who's there?" She asked loudly. She looked in the peep hole but didn't see anyone. Her first thought was to walk away, which she did until the doorbell rang. She was already in a bad mood. She slung the door opened to see Sasuke with his hands in his pockets staring at her for a moment.
"You forgot this." He extended the purple toothbrush.
What the hell?

Author Note: Did you see that coming? Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare either way I don't wanna wake up for you! *Dancing like Beyonce*
How is Hinata really going to react? What will Sasuke say this time? Is this the end of Itachi sexy-summer-time-fine ass? Another annoying questions that I'm going to answer in the next chapter.
Awh man you guys! This story is coming to an end in the next two chapters… I think. I never know! Anyway, review and stuff!
