Greetings! It has been a while since my last update. Thanks for the reviews ~some interesting responses. I'm glad the majority of you are enjoying the story - in all its simplicity and smut. Lol. I do agree that this story does lack some drama and heat break.. although I intended this to be more 'light', I will be adding your helpful comments to my writing style for my next story =)

Well, lets meet the Uchihas!

Hinata
After Sasuke's interrogation with my family, he came over at least once a week to have dinner. I was ecstatic that my family had accepted him. I just hoped that his parents would accept me as well. We were planning on visiting them on the weekend, during my uni semester break.

His parents lived an hour away, which gave me time to question Sasuke about his parents. I had brought a basket filled with fruit and wrapped with a bright red ribbon, as a gift. I tried to focus on the trees that lined the road. The leaves were a silvery green, appearing as if they were touched with snow and frost. The trees were tall, reaching for the sky with their smooth, pale branches. The trunks were rough with peeling bark, the colour of black coffee, with dark green moss clinging to it.

"Don't stress about it. They will love you!" Sasuke reassured me. He touched my cheek, eyes burning into mine.

I turned to him. "I wasn't stressing." I replied indignantly. "Much."

"Of course you weren't." His gaze dropped and lingered on my body. "I could take your mind off it."

"Sasuke," I said warningly.

"What?" he asked innocently. "It'll make you relaxed. Besides, I haven't seen you dressed like this. Kind of like a librarian, which is pretty hot."

I laughed. It was Sasuke's own caring way of trying to get my mind off of the visit with his parents. I didn't think I looked like a librarian. I was dressed in a midnight blue knee length skirt, a lavender and peach floral top and a cream cardigan.

He smirked. "Makes me want to pull over and…"

"You won't be getting any even if you pull over." I replied sternly. Sasuke might not feel weird if we romped around in his backseat before meeting his parents, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with it.

He sighed sadly, "You're right, I shouldn't pressure you into anything at the moment. Although, since I'm being such a good boy…" he turned to me with a cheeky grin. "How about on the way home?"

I shook my head and laughed. "I'll see."

As Sasuke pulled into the driveway, I felt my stomach drop. Sandstone pavements formed the driveway and winded up a vibrant green slope. Lovely maple trees lined the driveway, perfectly spaced every 25 metres or so. The house was white and uniformed, designed with straight practical lines. It was a big house – closer to a mansion than a house.

"You lived here?" I whispered.

"It's not as great as it looks. Remember, I moved out." He turned the car off.

I tried to swallow, but it felt as if something was lodged in my throat.

Sasuke placed his hands on my shoulders and turned me to face him. I dragged my eyes away from his intimidating home.

"Hinata," his eyes were dark, coal black. I could see green reflected in them from the trees. "Hinata, it's going to be great."

I nodded, mutely.

He leaned forward and hugged me. "Are you ready to go inside?"

I closed my eyes and held him, breathing in his scent. Sasuke would be with me the whole time. If Sasuke could face my dad, I could meet his parents.

"I'm ready," I replied. "Thanks." I smiled at him as he released me.

Together we walked to his front door, holding hands the entire time.

"H-hello, Mr and Mrs Uchiha. It's lovely to meet you." I winced as I stuttered. I presented the fruit basket to them and shook hands with Sasuke's dad. I was about to do the same with his mother when she swept me into a hug.

"Hello, Hinata. We're so happy to meet you!" she held my arms, getting a good look at me.

I blushed and smiled. It had been a long time since I had felt this warm motherly feeling.

Sasuke's dad didn't talk much, but he was polite and well mannered. Sasuke's mum was so caring and attentive. She made me feel comfortable and part of the family. During dinner she put food on my plate and asked me what I liked to eat.

After dinner, she ushered us into the living room, where she pulled out a fat photo album. "Let me show you some photos of Sasuke-kun!"

I laughed with her as she told me stories of Sasuke. He was adorable in the photos. There was a photo of Sasuke, naked in a bathtub at the age of 4.

"Mum!" Sasuke shouted. His cheeks were tinged pink, "Stop showing Hinata embarrassing photos of me."

She laughed and waved him off. "They're not embarrassing, Sasuke-kun. They're cute."

The next photo was of Sasuke at the beach. Sasuke was wrapped in a stripped green and white beach robe, with a hood covering half his face. I giggled with his mum over it.

"Oh, is that Itachi?" I asked, when his mum turned the page. There was a photo of Sasuke and an older boy sitting on bicycles.

"Yes, that's Sasuke's older brother, Itachi." She smiled, "When they were little, Sasuke would follow Itachi everywhere in every way."

After the photo album session, Sasuke's parents wished us goodnight.

"I hope you're comfortable here, Hinata. We'll see you in the morning." His mum hugged me and turned to Sasuke. "Show Hinata her room." She hugged him, and I heard her whisper. "Be a good boy."

He chuckled. "Yes, mum."

Then he took my hand and led me to my room.

"Will you be okay here?" Sasuke pushed open the door to the guest bedroom. "I could stay with you if you're scarred to be alone in a new place." He offered.

I kissed him softly. "Thanks, but I think you should listen to your mum and be a good boy."

He wrapped his arms around my waist. "I can't persuade you to let me stay? I make a great pillow."

I kissed his cheek. "How about this? If we can abstain during our time here, then on the way back, I'll let you have your way with me."

A smile spread across his face, slow and sexy. "Really?" he kissed my neck.

"Mmhmm…" A tingle spread through my body. I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him back slowly. "Now, be a good boy and go to your room."

"Don't forget your promise, Hinata." He kissed my lips gently. "Sweet, wet dreams." He stepped into the hallway with a smirk.

I watched him go. He took a few steps and turned around. "If you need me, I'm in the room at the end of the hall, on the right."

"Good night, Sasuke."

"Night." He replied and disappeared into his room.

Something soft brushed across my forehead. I opened my eyes slowly and found Sasuke sitting on the edge of my bed in the guestroom.

"Morning," he smiled and leaned to down to press a kiss against my lips. I sat up and pushed him away.

"Sasuke! I haven't brushed my teeth yet!"

He shrugged. "Your fault for sleeping in."

I grabbed my phone off the bedside table and frowned. "Sasuke, its 7:30."

"Get ready, I wanted to show you around before my parents wake up. Do you need help getting changed?" He leaned in to kiss me again, but kissed my cheek instead when I covered my mouth with my hands.

"I'll be fine." I replied, my voice muffled from my hands.

He grinned and kissed the hands that covered my mouth.

"I'll be in my room."

When Sasuke left, I saw that he had left something on my bed. It was a single lily – pure white and flawless, with its graceful petal shaped like a delicate vase, and a silk lavender ribbon tied around its stem. It was a sweet gesture.

After my morning routine, I stuck my head into Sasuke's room. He was lying on a single bed in the corner. The navy blue sheets wrinkled beneath him.

"Are you going to give me a proper kiss now?" he turned his head to the door. I blushed and entered his old bedroom. I leaned over him and kissed him softly.

"Thank you for the flower."

"Is that how you express your thanks?" he grinned. "Wonder what would happen if I gave you a big bunch or a room full."

I felt the tip of my ears grow hot. He laughed and gently pressed his lips to mine in a short kiss.

"Lets go raid the kitchen." He jumped out of bed.

"Shouldn't we wait for your parents before we eat?"

"Hm, I guess. Mum will probably make something. I'll show you the gardens."

We swung our hands as we headed out into the morning sun. The garden was a modernized Japanese garden, with a weeping cherry blossom in the corner, bamboo flourishing along the side of the garden. The back wall was set with stones, covered with creeping jasmine vines and blooms. Sasuke led me towards it and I realized that there was an arch in the stonewall leading to another section of the garden. My mouth dropped open as we passed through. There was a pond with a moss green bridge, water lilies floated on the water and weeping willows, dipping their foliage into the water. There was even a jacaranda on the edge of the pond, shedding its violet flowers into the pond, sending ripples through it.

"Do you like it? I thought an arty person like you would enjoy it."

"It looks like something Monet would paint."

Sasuke nodded. "My mum was inspired by one of his artworks. I bet you know which one inspired her."

I felt my smile grow. "Water Lilies."

"Know-it-all." He teased.

"If I was a know-it-all would say: Claude Oscar Monet, Water Lilies, 1899, oil on canvas, Impressionism period."

He grinned. "My mistake. You're a snobby art critic."

I raised an eyebrow. "Really? I come across as snobby?"

He smiled and pulled me along. "Not all the time. I think it would be great if you were."

We passed through the 'Monet inspired Garden' and into a 'Romantic Garden' full of baby pink roses and white cherry blossoms. There was a marble water fountain in the centre, twinkling with music as the water bubbled and trickled.

"You want me to be a snob?" I pressed.

He paused and leaned down. "I want you to be happy. Being surrounded by art makes you happy." He kissed the tip of my nose. "You should study art."

I bit my lip. "You know my dad doesn't approve."

"It's your future."

I dipped my hand into the cool water. I could see our reflection – me staring into the water and Sasuke watching me.

"What about you?" I asked. I flicked the water off my fingers at him.

"What about me?" he replied, dipping his hand into the water.

"Do you like being a police officer?" I asked.

He shrugged. "I don't mind. I haven't found anything else that I'd want to do at the moment." He grinned. "Besides spending time with you, of course."

I laughed and slapped his arm playfully. "You're such a sweet talker."

When we got back to his house, his parents were awake. His dad was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. His mum was standing at the stove, cooking.

"Good morning, Sasuke-kun, Hinata." She smiled over her shoulder as we entered the kitchen. "Did Sasuke take you to see the gardens?" she asked as I helped set the table.

"Yes, it's lovely." I replied. "I love how you modeled one of your gardens after Monet's artworks."

She beamed, "Yes, well Monet's artwork was based on a real garden, so I wanted to bring that to life."

"You know a lot about Monet."

"He's one of my favourite artists. After we eat, I'll show you our library. We have some of his artworks in there."

"I'd like that. Thank you, Mrs Uchiha."

The library was huge. It was a two-storey library with shelves taking up almost every space of wall. I was alone with Sasuke's mum as Sasuke's dad wanted to chat with Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun really cares about." She murmured as I took in the library.

I turned my attention to her. "Yes, he does. I care about him too."

"I'm glad you're together." A small smile touched her lips. "Did he tell you that he had a crush on you since you were in primary?"

I blinked, confused. "No. I thought he only liked me during our last year of high school."

She laughed and patted my hand. "We were at the park and then he saw you. I think it was love at first sight for him. Do you know what he said to me?"

I shook my head. This was all new to me.

Her eyes were wistful. "He said: Mummy, I'm going to marry her."

Sasuke and I were planning on leaving after dinner, but he wanted to show me the rest of the garden because they had been inspired by other artworks. The past day had been different. It was relaxing being with his mum, and the things she told me, made me see Sasuke in a different light.

Dusk was setting when Sasuke took me to another section of the garden.

"This garden is huge!" I exclaimed. "It's like a maze of art periods."

We were walking along a sandstone path when he pulled me off the path. The sun was almost hidden behind the trees. The ground sloped up to a line of trees.

"Sasuke!" I panted. "Where are we going? We're going to be late for dinner. I don't want to make your parents wait."

He ignored me and tugged me forward.

Then my breath escaped in a ragged breath as we broke through the trees. I saw the most beautiful scene. The sky was split in two: one half was caught in a hazy lavender hue. A lovely half moon hung in a cloudless sky, with diamond stars glittering. The other half of the sky was streaked with pale pink and orange as the sun disappeared behind the horizon.

There was a wooden pergola, draped with a thousand tiny fairy lights. Beautiful vines studded with white-jeweled flowers trailed along the wood, glowed in the light of the fairy lights. Under the pergola sat two chairs facing each other, across a round table covered in a white lace tablecloth. To the side, rested a multitude of fat cushions that lay beside a bucket filled with ice and a bottle.

I approached the table, dazed. Soft music drifted in the air and I saw that Sasuke had brought a portable music player with him. I wondered what else he had hidden. He pulled out my seat and I saw that there were two platters covered by silver cloche. My cheeks hurt; stretched by a smile I couldn't hide.

"I guess your parents aren't joining us for dinner." I touched his hand. "This is very romantic."

He smiled and revealed our dinner. The first cloche harbored Carpaccio: thin slices of sashimi, marinated in a tangy sauce; a bowl filled with ice, raw oysters and lemons. The oysters were covered in a tart sweet black sauce, salmon roe and finely sliced shallots. The last cloche held an assortment of sushi.

"If you keep spoiling me like this, I'm going to get fat."

He laughed, "We'll keep you fit with lots of hot and sweaty sex."

"Sasuke!" I couldn't believe how easily he spouted those words.

"Hinata!" he replied in the same tone. He grinned.

I laughed and he took my hand. "Are you ready for some dessert?"

"Depends on what the dessert is." I replied with a smile.

He pulled me towards the cushions. I eyed the bottle. "Is dessert alcohol?"

"Of course not." He grinned, "It's a part of it."

When I was seated, he opened the bottle and poured us a glass. "You'll like it. It's dessert wine. Nice and sweet."

I took a sip and nodded. It was light, sweet and fruity.

Then he pulled out his guitar and began to play, his fingers running over the strings, beautifully sweet notes danced into the air. My heart stopped. He sang slowly. His voice rich like melted chocolate.

"Wish I had the byakugan,

To see the inner you.

Wish I had the sharingan,

To capture all your moves.

Wish I could use genjutsu,

And turn your fantasies,

Into a sweet reality,

Always make you smile.

But I can't be superhuman

I'm just lonely

Without my woman

No I can't be

I can't be superhuman

Without you…"

He paused, the notes vibrating in the air. He laid his guitar down and took my left hand. He kissed my fingers and I felt myself tremble.

"I'm not really good at being romantic." He wrinkled his nose. "It feels corny and awkward." His eyes held a mischievous gleam. "I'm better at seducing you into bed and being rude and upfront." The gleam softened into something warm that sent my heart into a helpless flutter. "But being with you, Hinata, makes me want to be a better person. Without you, I wouldn't be anything. You taught me how to overcome obstacles with your courage. You showed me how to be kind and caring. I never wanted to be any of that before you. I was just focused on stepping out of Itachi's shadow, wanting be my own person."

My breath hitched as I saw a sparkle. "I wanted to give you something, to remind you how I feel about you. That it's not just about the mind-blowing sex." In his hands, he held a lovely white gold oval locket. A delicate flower design had been etched into the face, with diamonds studded along the boarder, on the petals in the centre of the flower. It glowed and twinkled in the golden light. It dangled from a fine chain of white gold, twined between Sasuke's fingers.

My throat felt tight. I had to clear it before I could speak. "Sasuke. I'm so touched. I don't know what to say."

He smiled and swept my hair to the side. The locket was cool on my neck. "Do you like it?"

"It's beautiful." I breathed. "Are these diamonds? This must have cost…"

He covered my lips with his, effectively silencing me. We shared a kiss, under the stars and fairy lights, our bodies pressed against each other as if we were one being. And in that moment, we were complete.

Author's Notes:
Sorry if this chapter was a little rushed, jumping here and there.

I think this might be the last chapter for now.. the story didn't really have much action or drama, which I did plan to add.. but then I got lazy and just wanted to write what I wanted. Haha.. I'll try and add more drama and suspense to my next story. I'm tossing up between another SasuHina or a NaruHina - It's looking like a SasuHina though..

A BIG thanks to everyone who reviewed, add this as a favourite and followed it!

Oh yes, if you want me to write what Sasuke does to Hinata in the car on the way home, I'll write a one shot.. but it's going to be a graphic lemon, so beware.

I might continue this story and add some drama in the future, but we'll see =)

Disclaimer: The song that Sasuke sang/played is taken from Gabe Bondoc's song "Super Human" - check it out on youtube if you want to hear the tune - it is a lovely song, with better lyrics for the verse, but I thought it would be something different to add as a funny romantic side dish ^_^
