Posted this short drabble on my Tumblr, but I decided to post it here too for those who don't have one! Thanks for reading! :) xoxo
Social Media
"Ino-chan, d-delete it!" Hinata gasped, trying to reach over the blond kunoichi for her phone.
"Why not, Hinata?" Ino gushed. She strained her arm further away from Hinata's clutches and tossed the phone over to Tenten. "You look gorgeous! Shino just liked it and Naruto already commented on it!"
The girls had a free day today, but somehow their casual conversation in the marketplace turned into a make-up session in Ino's room. Ino was dying to try the new products she had brought home as souvenirs on a mission, and since she was constantly nagging Tenten to "be a little more girly" and urging Hinata to not be afraid of cosmetics, she had all but dragged them into her home to experiment.
Hinata blushed. "H-he did? W-what did he say?" She self-consciously tucked her indigo tresses behind one ear.
"OrangeHokage said, 'Wow, Hinata! Why do you look so different?'" Tenten read where she lounged on Ino's vanity chair. Her hair was up in some of Ino's rollers and she tried hard not to blink so hard with the things on her eyelashes that made it seem like she had feathers on her eyelids. It felt like she had layers of fine, cakey dust patted into every pore on her face, but she had to admit, she looked pretty good when she stared at herself in the mirror.
Hinata's face scrunched up into a pout and she clutched one of Ino's pillows to her chest. "T-that's it?"
Ino laughed as she took in the heiress's disappointed expression. "Don't worry, Hinata. Almost all of the village already liked the pic and commented on how beautiful this woman is and wishes that she had an Instagram where they could see more pix of this model." Ino winked.
"A-all the village?!" Hinata buried her face in the pillow.
"HyuuHanabi says, "Sexy aneki" winky face. kibakamaru says, heart eyes, heart eyes," continued Tenten, her thumb swiping down to read more comments. "kazekage-sama says—"
"S-stop, Tenten-san!" Hinata covered her ears and shook her head.
"Apparently, Ino is Instagram famous in Konoha," Tenten waggled her eyebrows in Hinata's direction.
"I hate taking pictures," she muttered. Hinata's white eyes flashed to meet Ino's blue ones. "And I wasn't even looking in that one! Or paying attention."
Ino waved her off. "It's fine, it's fine! It's a candid, which makes it even more beautiful. You could be a model!" She beamed at Hinata and admired her handiwork, although Hinata grimaced at Ino's response. "Please, Hinata! Let me keep it!"
"F-fine." She managed as Ino cheered and wrapped her arms around the smaller girl. "But we're taking only group pictures after."
Itachi looked up as he heard a camera shutter go off. "…Did you just take a picture of me, Sasuke?"
Sasuke lay sprawled on the floor staring up where he held his phone. "No. I took a screenshot."
"Of what?" His brother asked as he was scribbling on a scroll.
"A picture." Sasuke continued to fiddle with his phone. "On Instagram."
Itachi's eyebrow raised. "You have social media?"
Sasuke merely rolled his eyes and shrugged as he leapt up to stretch. He tossed his phone on the couch. "Naruto made me one." Sasuke sauntered into the kitchen. "I'm going out to train with that idiot. I'll be back for dinner," he called as the door shut behind him.
Curious, Itachi rose from his chair and crept silently to reach for Sasuke's phone. He pressed the home button and his eyes widened as he stifled a laugh. His brother's lock screen was none other than the Hyuuga heiress, or a closeup of a screenshot of Ino's Instagram picture that had been posted an hour ago. Her shiny, silky indigo hair had been done in large, loose curls that tumbled down her back and spilled over her left shoulder. He had to admit, it was a crazy beautiful picture of the normally shy, demure girl. She looked plain at first glance, but was painfully not so, as many of the boys in the village soon found out. It's a good thing she hadn't been paying attention when this picture was taken, but then again, her embarrased blush would have made the picture even more appealing. Her bangs had grown long enough to cover her eyes and it was swept softly to the left side of her face. Hinata's head was cocked to the same side and it looked like she was looking intently at something off in the distance, her full, reddened lips parted slightly. Her cheekbones were even sharper in the picture, probably due to Ino's make-up artistry, and her eyebrows were arched gracefully in a picture of sophistication. Ino had apparently convinced the girl to undo her sweater so it falling around her shoulders, revealing low-cut mesh armor and plenty of cleavage.
He swiped to unlock the phone and was even more surprised to see that Sasuke's home background was a collage of the same girl, obviously cropped from more of Ino's Instagram pictures from that day, in various poses. In each one, Hinata's dazzling eyes, framed by dark, smoky lids and thick, inky lashes, seemed to stare sexily at the camera, although Itachi knew that at the time, Hinata was probably just looking shyly at whoever was holding the camera.
Itachi gave one last snicker before setting his brother's phone down.
Ino's phone chimed and she stopped rubbing her long hair with a towel. A text message. She smirked after reading what it said and replied back to the text, "Will do," she said, muttering the words as she typed quickly with her thumbs. A notification popped up on the top of her phone screen. SassyUchiha liked your photo. She threw her phone on her blanket and turned on her heel back out of her room.
The text message from Uchiha Sasuke-kun only had four words: "More pix of Hinata."
