So this was so hard to write since I didn't exactly know how I wanted to write the drama and because I didn't want to do an over the top shit show so I kept erasing and adding things. Also thanks for 100 follows and for enjoying the story.

21. Tomorrow

Naruto felt as his tears left his eyes. He didn't know how he felt it was a mixture of anger, jealousy, betrayal, and sadness. Maybe it was the alcohol in Naruto's system or his anger but he punched Sasuke across the face.

"Bastard! You listened as I told you my hopes and fucking feelings knowing it was pointless and said nothing!", Naruto felt the adrenaline rush as he threw another punch. "You are my friend! I thought you were my friend!", Naruto felt the tears as they kept coming. He knew he was making a scene, that people were watching but he didn't care. Sasuke wasn't fighting but Naruto was too drunk to realize that.

"Okay Naruto you got you punches now stop", Sasuke grabbed both of Naruto's arms and stared at him. Naruto probably would have put up a better fight if he was sober but he wasn't, so it was quite easy for Sasuke to overpower him.

"No!", Naruto struggled for a few seconds before he couldn't anymore.

"Does she know?", Naruto finally rests his head on Sasuke as the adrenaline wore off and the room began to spin

"No", Sasuke said. Naruto felt his anger raising again but he didn't do anything

"Bastard", he hissed.

Sasuke looked at Naruto he reeked of alcohol, he had never seen Naruto like that before. Sasuke looked up to see the manager coming out and he sighed, he didn't know why but something made him look around him. As he looked at the crowd of people something caught his eye and at that moment his heart sank, there Hinata stood next to fucking Kiba, her eyes filled with confusion.

Hinata looked at the scene, the man who she was engaged with who she loved had just fought with Naruto. Naruto the man she used to love the man who she for the longest time admire and spend time with making memories. She couldn't remember the last time she had fainted, it use to happen quite a lot when she was a child but at that moment it felt like she would faint. At that moment her brain couldn't process things she tried understanding what was happening but she couldn't. Maybe Naruto was just drunk and happen to pick a fight with Sasuke. No that wasn't it, the fight wasn't a simple bar fight it was something more. Kiba pulled her to a seat from where she watched as the manager kicked Sasuke and a drunken Naruto out. Sasuke made eye contact with her as he walked out the bar.

"Hinata?", Kiba said her name in that voice. That voice Hinata knew well, he was worried and asking her if he should do anything.

"No. Don't do anything, j-just stay with m-me. P-please", Hinata smiled

"Always", he said. Hinata bit her lip part of her did not want to walk out of the bar. She wanted to stay and have a drink with Kiba go home and smile and talk with Sasuke ignoring what she saw. It truly did sound good to Hinata. It sounded like something she had always done, ignored her feelings on things and smile thru everything. But what truly was stopping Hinata from just ignoring everything. Ignoring your feelings was way easier when they weren't about a romantic relationship, where the whole point was to have feelings for each other. She was in a relationship with Sasuke she couldn't just run away from confrontation like always, in a relationship that didn't work, at least not in a healthy one. She wanted to have a good healthy relationship with Sasuke because he made her feel happy, she was in love, and she had to confront that. She stood up and walked out to find Sasuke, Kiba trailing behind her. Outside there was Sasuke helping Naruto stand. She felt her heart start beating faster and wonder if it was too late to run back in the bar. Naruto looked up and saw her, she looked at him his eyes were red and puffy, from crying, it was painful, she hated seeing Naruto cry. Hinata couldn't do anything but give him a smile as she stood in front of them. At that moment Naruto threw himself at Hinata wrapping his arms around her, resting his head on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry", he cried.

"Shhh. It's okay", she tried to calm him down. He reeked of alcohol and looked like a mess. She felt bad for him. Hinata wrapped her arms around him letting him rest his body on hers, while she patted his head like he was a child. For months she had thought about seeing Naruto again, and never in any or her wildest dreams would she had imagined it would be like this. She looked at Sasuke who had been staring at them not blinking once.

"Looks like you two are cozy enough", Sasuke said turning around. Hinata was confused she wanted to drop Naruto and grabbed Sasuke and screamed for him to explain but before she could voice her confusion and frustration, Kiba pulled Sasuke back and stared him down.

"Listen asshole Hinata is confused so you better start explaining". Sasuke stared at Kiba and sneered

"who the fuck are you to tell me what to do", Sasuke said. His tone of voice reminding Hinata of their first encounter. Suddenly things began to start falling into place.

"S-Sasuke I assume you know Naruto and I assume you knew of my past relationship with. Am I r-right?", Hinata asked.

"You are right", Sasuke said looking at the ground. Hinata didn't know how to feel, she didn't know what to do.

"S-Sasuke Naruto is too drunk to be left alone can you help me get him to his house, we'll talk later", Hinata asked Sasuke who still hadn't met her gaze

"Hn"

Kiba bit his tongue, to keep himself from saying something as he sat next to Sasuke and in front of Hinata and Naruto whose head was currently resting on her lap. He wanted to push him off her and punch him but he couldn't. That drunken moron had given a fight to stay with Hinata while the other moron did nothing but watch. Kiba didn't understand and probably never would, how Hinata was able to stay so calm in situations like this. It was fascinating she never jumped to illogical conclusions, she stayed quiet, always listened to what people had to say, and would analyze situations before taking action. If something really bothered her she would cry but never scream or escalate the situation. He stared at her while she stared back, maybe it was all the years he had spent with her but he knew she knew how he was feeling and what he wanted to do. She shook her head and he sighed throwing his head back. Sometimes Hinata could be scary. He turned to look at the moron who was strangely quiet staring out the window like his fucking life depend it on it. That was the most uncomfortable car ride he ever been on. Kiba really wanted to say something but knew Hinata wouldn't appreciate it so he decide to stay quiet and wait until he finally got out of the fucking car.

Sasuke felt as a part of him went crazy with jealousy and rage when he saw how Naruto wrapped his fucking arms around his Hinata, how Naruto's fucking head laid on her lap, how Hinata carefully with Kiba's helped a drunk Naruto on his bed, how when the idiot groaned for her to stay she gave him a sweet smiled and said good night. She was so nice to Naruto, but she had rejected him, why was she acting like that. They dropped off Kiba who gave her a hug and offered to punch Sasuke to which Hinata said no. Soon they were the only ones left in the car.

"You seem to know more than I do, I-I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what you know so I c-can asses the situation", he heard no anger in her voice, it bothered him.

"aren't you mad?", he asked

"I don't know how I feel. W-Why didn't you tell me Sasuke?", she asked.

"I didn't want you to pick him over me",

"S-Sasuke can you tell me everything, please?", she asked. He looked at her and nodded and he did tell her everything. In part it felt good to let everything out. He didn't know how she was going to react and that scared him, what was he supposed to do if she decided she didn't like him anymore.

"I-I guess I can't say anything about keeping things from each other since I did the s-same but why did you keep them f-from Naruto?", she asked. The question angered Sasuke, she wanted to know why he kept it from fucking Naruto. Why, why the fuck would she care about Naruto did she still love him. Sasuke wasn't good at containing his feelings he never was, sure he was good at hiding them but inside his feeling they took control and when he allowed them to come out it was hard for him to control them.

"Naruto! Fucking Naruto are you serious is that what comes to your mind", Sasuke snapped

"W-why are you angry?",

"You love him?!", Sasuke asked his question sounding more like an accusation.

"N-NO! Of course not, i-isn't that clear to you", she quickly answered her eyes widening

"well you seem to like him just fine", Sasuke said. He was aware his tone sounded more menacing than he was meaning to, but he was mad, he was jealous.

"Sasuke h-he was a drunken mess. W-what did you expect me to do slap him?", she defended herself

"I don't see why not he slept with another woman!", Sasuke knew that what she said made sense she specially with Hinata. He knew she wouldn't be able to be mean or cold towards anyone. But he didn't care. Her reaction however surprised him. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but she didn't, her eyebrows furrowed and tears began to fill her eyes, and she looked down. Sasuke sighed he had done it now, fucking Naruto.

"You didn't know?", he asked already knowing the answer, she shook her head.

"Y-you are an ass. He's an ass", she whimpered

"Hinata. I've never felt this way towards anyone before. I love you and I didn't want you to leave me for Naruto I-I felt jealous. You loved him and I was just the ass you were in an arranged marriage with. You are caring, smart, kind, and beautiful and I'm just a rich good looking asshole. Let's be real you can be with other men and I, I want you, Hinata I love you and I don't want to lose you", Sasuke looked at her. She sniffled and looked up at him

"w-were you always a-aware?", she asked. Sasuke looked at her beautiful huge eyes they were mesmerizing, they looked sad

"No, I found out before we went to your family's home", Sasuke said. Sasuke then was shocked as he got slapped across the face.

"You are an ass Sasuke, how could you do that to your friend. Manipulate things to go your way. Manipulate me. I understand why you wanted to see my family now, why you wanted me to be your girlfriend. You were threatened by Naruto right? I'm right. Naruto had the right to know because he was your friend. Sasuke he talked about you when I was with him, he saw you as his best friend and that's not right. And you aren't just what you say Sasuke you are more and you will go nowhere by putting yourself down. I'm mad at you. But I'm not leaving because I love you", she said with tears in her eyes threatening to fall. Sasuke looked at her, she looked at him her eyes were narrowed at him but still she didn't look mad. Sasuke felt relief in the inside knowing that she wasn't going anywhere. He wanted to ask when she knew she loved him and suddenly a smirk threaten to appear as he realised she had told him she loved him.

"what about Naruto then? Do you want me to apologize", he asked

"No. I'm mad at him. It would be the right thing to do but I'm going to tell you what to do", Hinta said. Sasuke moved next to Hinata who surprisingly pushed him away.

"I'm still mad at you", she whispered. Sasuke nodded, yeah it made sense for her to tell him she loves him but right after push him away telling him that she is still mad at him. Sasuke mentally sighed he truly did not understand.

"Hn. What do you want me to do"

"give me time", she said.

"how much time?", Sasuke asked. Sasuke felt something in him want to ask her why she needed time she loved him and he loved her, why did she need time, but even he knew better than to test his luck.

"however much time I need"

"okay". Sasuke was not okay with it.

Hinata was aware how confusing it was for Sasuke. How it was going to send him mixed signals, but she felt bad, she wanted comfort which would usually come from friends or family but she had none of them right now. She needed a hug, it sounded childish but it made her feel better.

"Sasuke I'm still m-mad at you", she said. hugging his torso. She didn't know why but she was upset, she already had gotten over Naruto but she had hope they could be friends after all those years. All the things he had told her, all the things she had told him. It made her mad. How could he do that to her, she didn't care that he had slept with another woman she was mad at him for doing while they were together and not telling her. It would have hurt less if he had at least been honest with her, it reminded her if her father. That's when she began to cry. She was so mad at Naruto she couldn't be mad at Sasuke. She hugged him until she felt him softly tap her shoulder.

"Hinata we are home", he said. As they walked toward the door she stopped.

"S-Sasuke can I sleep somewhere else t-tonight?", she asked almost whispering

"No problem I'll have them arrange one of the guest rooms for you"

"Sasuke. I-I was thinking o-of staying at Ino's home tonight", she said biting her lip. Hinata just needed someone to talk to who wasn't going to beat people up, she needed Ino. Sasuke's face showed his dislike of the idea but he nodded.

"sure thing. You don't even have to ask", he said. Hinata gave him a weak smile

"I-I also wanted to tell you t-that it would be best not to tell your family about our situation. I-I mean i-it doesn't really change anything s-so we s-shouldn't bother them w-with our problems", she almost whispered the last words.

"Don't worry", he said. Hinata gathered her things and called Ino.

"Hinata! you haven't called in such a long time am I dead to you", Ino answered the call less than happy

"Ino we talked four days ago and you are always on dates with Sai", Hinata giggled

"four days ago! you say it like that isn't forever ago", she gasped

"Ino do you think I-I can stay over your place tonight?", Hinata asked

"are you serious that shouldn't even be a question didn't I give you the keys? Wait why do you want to come is everything alright? Wait no don't answer I'll be here waiting for you", Ino hanged up. Hinata smiled.

"S-Sasuke I'll be coming back tomorrow I hope you have a good night", she went up to Sasuke kissing his cheek before she left. She really needed someone to talk to who would understand, and she thought Ino was her best option. She also needed to talk to Yami.

"Oh man I totally forgot to tell her you were here", Ino pouted

"I'm sure Hinata won't mind seeing me again after all this time. I know I won't mind seeing her", he said grabbing a drink

"You know she is engaged", Ino sighed

"I know, who do you think I am Ino? I have my morals I would not go after a taken woman", he adjusted his glasses

"Hmph. Anyways I'm going to need you to leave, Hinata is coming here probably to talk to me and tell me what's going on and she won't do that with you being you here", Ino said crossing her arms

"I will leave when she arrives. You know Ino I used to be best friends with her too, I used to be there for her all the time. It was always the three of us", He said sitting down

"Shino I know that already and what is your point", Ino asked annoyed

"my point is that I am very special to Hinata", Shino with his straight face

"well somebody has their head up their ass", Ino rolled her eyes.

"Ino you wouldn't understand our relationship", Shino said resting his head on the couch. He was actually kind of nervous to see Hinata again, if he remembered correctly he hadn't seen her since sixth grade. A smile graced him lips, what a long time had past. He wondered how she was now, was she still the same stuttering shy girl she used to be.
