Hinata's so funny when she's drunk. She gets all giggly and fun; it's hilarious.
"You're 'prince' is looking at your butt"
I couldn't help but laugh. I was a little buzzed myself.
"You're lying!"
"You're right I am." She giggled " You wish he was looking at your ass."
"You're right, I do."
We both laughed a little too loud. Neji and Sasuke were probably getting annoyed but I really don't care. I was having fun.
A few more bottles later and I was a little buzzed. But Hinata was way past me; she was a light weight. At some point she got a little naucious and Neji stepped in to bring her to bed. Hinata didn't protest and followed Neji out the room. Before she left she winked at me; knowing me and Sasuke were about to be in the same room alone. And before I knew it Hinata and Neji were gone, leaving a sort of awkward silence hanging in the room.
"So.."
Sasukes sudden voice interrupted the quiet and shocked me.
I turn around to face him. He was already sitting a few feet away from me on the couch. I yelped in surprise of seeing him there and almost fell on the floor. He raised an eyebrow
"How drunk are you?"
I laughed; nervously.
"I'm not at Hinatas level."
"Hm."
He eyed me down carefully
"So.. Where are you from? I see you working at Drip but beside that I haven't seen you around."
I start to hesitate before answering. There's no way that I'm letting Sasuke find out I'm a loser.
"I'm from here, but I don't get around much."
There we go, I'm kinda telling the truth...kinda.
"Oh really? That's slightly suspicious."
I break out in nervous laughter
"Why's that?"
"Because there's no way I couldn't notice someone like you."
It wasn't until now I realized Sasuke was slowly (very slowly) moving closer to me. No way. This is surreal; how is this happening?
But then a sudden thought hit me. We're not in the halls of Konoha High. Right now, Sasuke isn't a 'prince' and I'm not invisible. I realized I can basically do whatever and nothing in my life will change. So this time when I responded; I responded without any hesitation or fear. I can't tell if it's my self esteem or the alcohol but what I say next surprised even me
"Well thank you." I smile sweetly "There's no way I couldn't notice a prince like you."
I didn't mean to empathize the word 'prince' but it's a force of habit
His eyes widen before he returns my smile. That smile I'm obsessed with is right in front of me.
"So you go to Konoha High?"
"What?"
...WHAT
