Sasuke Uchiha had minimal interaction with the two Hyuga living with his family, but he knew enough about them that when the elder started twiddling her fingers nervously, it meant she was thinking about something and hesitating to say it.
'Spit it out,' he barked.
Hinata started badly. She obviously hadn't realised that anyone was paying attention to her. 'Oh, um… well, I w-wanted to ask a f-friend over.'
Sasuke quirked an eyebrow. That was it? 'Yeah, whatever. Just ask one of the adults. They'll probably say yes.' He paused. 'Look, this is your home too, okay? Don't forget it.'
