I said the next chapeter was going to be up soon and well I meant this soon. Hopefully if things go as planned the next four chapters will come out very soon too! I'm making up for lost time here.
28. Shitshow
Did Sasuke like attention? That was a complicated question really. He didn't really like attention itself but he did like what it signified. He liked that it meant he was doing good no that he was doing better than most. He knew how popular Itachi was how much attention he got and all that attention he gained. He found attention annoying for sure but for the longest time it was a price to pay for what it signified. What he knew was that he liked the attention he was getting at the moment. Sure he did not like or care about any of the people in the party but it was still satisfying to have everyone looking at them. Looking at Hinata smiling clinging to Sasuke's arm. Everybody could see the beauty that was his and his alone. He enjoyed it. His father gave another speech and the crowd cheered photos of them were taken, photos that would be released to the press. After taking the pictures more people walked towards them to congratulate them most people had already congratulated them before and just saw a chance to talk to them. He got tired of it all very quickly and decided to take Hinata out to the terrace to get away from the people. Hinata was smiling and she looked happy but there was something about her.
"Are you gonna tell me what's bothering you?", he asked
"I rather talk about it at home", she said giving him a weak smile he wanted to say something but before he could someone came to congratulate them.
"Congratulations to the happy couple you guys look stunning might I add. This is an amazing day huh? My best friend is going to get married", Sasuke looked at Naruto and wondered how to react. Naruto looked at him, he didn't look drunk he just looked hurt.
"Thank you Naruto", Hinata said with a weak smile. Naruto turned his attention towards Hinata and smiled.
"You're welcome Hinata, you look beautiful today", he said going in for a hug but before he could get close to her Sasuke put his body between them. Naruto chuckled.
"A bit on the protective side huh? Surprising since you never seem to care about all the girls that threw themselves at you",
"What do you want Naruto?", He finally said something
"I just wanted to congratulate my best friend", he said with a smile
"Are you trying to play the fucking victim here", he said annoyed by how he brought up their friendship.
"I'm not trying to do anything but congratulate you", Naruto said. Sasuke glared at him and as if the gods of fucking heaven were playing a sick fucking trick on him that annoying voice was heard.
"You know Sasuke you deserve her and she deserves you! Both of you are heartless pieces of shit that play with people's feelings. You heard my pain and said nothing you two faced bitch", Sakura decided to show herself at the worst possible moment. He blinked when he thought about what she had just said. He then turned to Hinata.
"I wanted to talk to you about this", she whispered. He internally sighed and before he could tell Sakura off Naruto did that for him.
"You're one to talk Sakura. You like to do it to other people but can't take it yourself", Naruto's tone changed to something Sasuke hadn't heard before.
"Naruto", she turned to him, "what the fuck are you doing here!",
"It's honestly none of your fucking business. But if you must know I'm congratulating Sasuke", he said his tone remaining the same.
"Leave", Sasuke glared at Sakura
"Leave! Leave! Are you fucking serious! Do you have any idea of what the fuck I'm going through", tears began to accumulate in her eyes
"S-Sakura I ca-" Hinata said walking towards her but before Hinata could say anything she was cut off
"No! You don't get to Sakura me! You don't even know me. Now I understand why you were apologizing, cause it was you, it was all your fault!", her tears finally left her eyes
"I-I'm sorry", Hinata said softly
"You don't have to apologize Hinata it's not your fault that Sakura here was so blind and a fucking idiot", Naruto said
"Not her fault this little who-",
"Don't you dare and finish that sentence Sakura", Sasuke growled at her. He had a massive headache dealing with this.
"Or what", Sakura growled back at Sasuke
"Sakura the only whore here is you. Hinata is nothing like you", Naruto said
"Why are you defending her so much do you like her?" Sakura glared at Naruto and like that as if as if something clicked in her brain she grinned. "Oh my god! Hinata is your ex, isn't she Naruto". She then turned to Hinata "so you fucked both of them huh? You fucked your ex's best friend", Sasuke saw Hinata turn crimson red and he glared at Sakura
"Sakura you are leaving now", he hissed. He had enough of the shit show that was Sakura.
"I'm not leaving until you hear what I have to say!", Naruto grabbed her shoulders and gently moved Sakura who push him in return.
"The party is about to be over you know. I think is best if you leave before things get escalate you won't be missing much", Naruto said trying to get a hold on Sakura. Sasuke nodded he was thankful for Naruto at that moment, and for a split second things felt they used to with him. Naruto nodded with a smile in return. The smile was genuine it was weak and hurt but genuine none the less. Sasuke grabbed Hinata's hand and led them out of that headache that was the party. He didn't know what Hinata was thinking, she quiet. She seemed to be still thinking probably still processing everything. He couldn't blame her it was a lot for one night. He himself wanted to just go to sleep but knowing Hinata she was going to want to talk about it. He sighed they seemed to be talking quite often these past few days and not particularly about good things.
Hinata sat quietly trying to sort out all the thoughts that were in her head.
"H-Has it always been like this between you three", she asked Sasuke
"Pretty much except Naruto was never so cold towards Sakura", he said
"So c-correct me if I'm wrong here but you, N-Naruto, and Sakura are childhood friends. Sakura had a crush on you growing up but you didn't like her back. I'm guessing Naruto had a crush on Sakura but she didn't like him. Naruto and I were going and then he hooked up with Sakura and she was the girl he loved but she didn't like him and then we broke up. You slept with Sakura before this whole engagement situation but it didn't mean anything. You and I are now engaged and Naruto is both your best friend and my ex while Sakura is still in love with you", When Hinata finishes she was almost out of breath
"Seems correct to me", he said. Hinata then began laughing. Sasuke looked at her confused.
"What's so funny?", he asked
"It's just t-that you're right Sasuke it's all a shit show", she giggled. Sasuke looked at her confused but smiled
"I'm glad we can agree",
"Sasuke. W-why did you hook up with Sakura if you knew about her feelings towards you?", Hinata asked. Sasuke looked at her and sighed
"I was drunk. The night before our meeting I spent the whole afternoon at a bar and she came in near the end all I remember is me trying to stand hitting the floor and then I woke next to her naked", he said. Hinata looked at him and smiled, she moved closer to him as wrapped her hands around his arm. Hinata really tried not to judge people but what Sakura did was wrong. She couldn't even bring to understand what was going through her mind while doing that.
"Sasuke?",
"Yeah?",
"Are you okay?", she asked him
"Yeah", He answered
"You can talk to m-me", she whispered
"I know", he said kissing her forehead. She smiled, she felt happy at his side, she felt good, she closed her eyes before falling asleep all her energy being sucked out of her thanks to the party.

Chapter...
I know it's shorter than the previous but I was really tired. Also if you guys have any suggestions of any other storyline or just idea for a new fic that would be great it can also be any other ship from Naruto.
