Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Well, this is it guys! Thank you to Armyed for your review - thanks for your feedback! And I'm sad too :(. I want to say thank you to all 3,900 who have read this collection as of this point, I've appreciated you reading this so much, and seeing the views pile up has made me immeasurably happy!
On another note however, I do have some more prompts lined up, which I will get round to writing at some point, and they should be published in around 3-9 months. So finally, I'd like to thank you all once more, and hope to see you all soon.
For now however, enjoy!
Title: 050. Eyes - Empty
Length: 658
Genre: Romance and Humour
When I was younger, I thought that her eyes were kind of weird. I mean, they were blank, huge slates and completely white then - maybe a little pink. They took up too much of her face, but I could never work out what she was thinking. It was so weird... I didn't really like it. I mean, yeah, they were a pretty shape and all, but I just couldn't get anything from them. It didn't help that I thought that she was a bit weird too... She had a funny hair colour, which I liked and all but... I just didn't get her. She looked so scared all the time, and I used to think that she must've had some disease or something because she kept on fainting around me. But then again, she was all soft and dainty and considerate when we were younger - and she still is to this day - and I had a crush on Sakura who was loud and bright and way too invested in Sasuke to notice me.
But now, I couldn't call my younger self any more stupid. Whenever I look into her eyes now, I can see the whole of her being reflected there. I can see everything - her love, her hate (although she doesn't really hate, ever), her sadness and her joy... She's more emotive than any person I've ever met. You can see her softness in her eyes, in the gentle lavender hue. How the shape curls and narrows when she smiles, and how it widens whenever I say something lewd that makes her blush... Whenever anyone says anything vaguely lewd in fact...
I remember when we were moved in together, and the girls took her out for a night out. Somehow, Sasuke got roped in. Perhaps that was Sakura's fault, although Ino wouldn't surprise me either. Anyway, they'd cornered her, as expected, and started asking her questions.
"So Hinata, what base are you at?" Ino asked nonchalantly, eating some rice from her bowl.
"I'm sorry? What do you mean... There are no bases around here?" She put down her chopsticks and took a sip of her drink.
"Oh, you know, how far have you gone with him?" Sakura prodded with a grin.
Sasuke stopped eating as Hinata chocked on her drink and blushed a shade of light pink - and achievement, considering what colour she could get.
"Come on Hinata, we're just interested in your life." TenTen cajoled, trying not to snigger.
"Well.. I um..."
"Hinata, I don't want to-"
"Shush Sasuke, I want to hear!" Sakura interrupted, waving a hand in his face. He stopped bothering to listen after that he didn't want to think about Naruto like that... No matter what anyone thought of the two of them.
"Well... I um.. We uh.."
"Have you kissed?"
"W-Well yes..."
"Come on TenTen, we've seen that!" Sakura tutted, grinning all the while.
"Y-You have?" She stuttered, her face deepening a shade and her eyes widening.
"It's fine, Hinata." Ino smiled.
"You kissed - of course you've kissed him - have you slept with him?" Sakura asked, checking off her fingers as she went.
Sasuke chocked, and watched as Hinata froze, her face darkened and her eyes widened.
TenTen couldn't in her laughter any more, and Ino was offering her a glass of water, a chuckle in her chest.
"So? Have you?" Ino asked with a quirked eyebrow.
"Well.." She looked down, and shook her head minutely, her pink face being reflected in her eyes.
Even Sasuke's eyes widened then. That dobe had got with Hinata before he had with anyone. And many times at that.
Naruto couldn't help but ask her slightly lewd questions after that, and watched as her eyes widened.
But he loved the slight surprise and the warmth that came through in her eyes every time that he told her he loved her, and the joy that shined in her eyes.
Well, it all seems kind of underwhelming for the momentum this story gathered (thanks, of course, to all of you!).
For one last time: Thanks for reading, if you liked it then please review and follow for (future) updates. Thanks!
