"Sasuke" I heard someone calling my name. I jumped when I noticed my name, pulling myself out of my stupor.
"Gezz Sasuke what's the matter with you?" Sakura stood there hands on hips glaring, a glare so strong it could be classified as attempted murder.
"Hn" I grunted, trying to wave her away. She refused to move; within three seconds she had my wrist locked in her iron grip and was dragging me towards the group of female runners.
"Billboard brow" I mumbled under my breath, adopting Ino's insult for the girl. Sakura jabbed her heel into my good foot, as soon as I voiced the words.
Hinata was surrounded by a group of females; all congratulating her for her epic win in the race. I waited till the group had subsided before approaching her, wanting to be alone with her.
"You were amazing" I breathed, she turned red unused to comments of praise from me. I laced her fingers with mine, liking the feel. I began to walk tugging her alone with me, she got the idea and followed along so as not to be hurt. I took her under the red and orange colored trees with the leaves falling all around us. It was a romantic scene. I thought over what Naruto had spoken, Hinata was beautiful, she was kind, and her influence over me was astounding. She smiled at me sweetly; Hinata wasn't the type to rush someone.
"Move in with me Hinata" I spoke to fast out of nerves. I wanted to laugh; I had just developed a nervous habit, one of the few things that I hated.
"Please move in with me Hinata" I spoke slower this time. Hinata stood beside me shocked; I could feel her grip slacken.
"But why?" she asked in disbelief.
"I enjoy your company; I don't think I could deal with living alone again after being with you for so long" I grabbed her hand again, pulling her along besides me. The fall of the leaves created a colorful background. I glanced at the girl besides me, she smiled shyly at me before looking at the ground. I was happy, and for once Naruto really might have been right. Did I want a relationship? No. But did I want her? Yes. Screw it all to hell. I dropped her hand, in favour for cupping her cheeks now a dark red and kissed her.
It felt like I couldn't breathe, the feeling of her lips against mine was amazing. I pulled away letting my thumb brush down her scarlet cheek. Hesitantly she placed her hand against mine, holding it to her face.
"I-I, uhh, yes" she stuttered. I ran my free hand through my hair, looking away with a blush. Yes the mighty Uchiha was blushing. I sighed, deciding to tell her my feelings.
"In the time we've spent together I've changed a lot and it's because of you, I'm happier now because I have you, I love you Hinata" she threw her arms around, in a tight hug. A drastic move for her, but I didn't care. Settling my arms around her waist, I returned the gesture stunning the fan girls watching from afar.
"I've changed too" she said, drawing my attention back to her,
"because of you and I love you too Sasuke"
