Shopping
"Do you like this one Sasuke?"
The Uchiha regarded the black shirt that Sakura held up to him, green eyes narrowed at the material as if contemplating its worthiness to reside on his body. For what felt like the hundredth time that morning, he bit back a huff and nodded.
"It's fine."
"Mmmm, I don't know." She mumbled. "You've put on a bit of weight lately so maybe we should get a bigger size…"
"Sakura-chan!"
Sasuke groaned at the unnecessarily loud voice of Naruto from just a few clothing racks away. Shopping with Sakura was already grating his nerves, if he had to deal with Naruto as well he was going to end up insane. Unfortunately, his self-proclaimed best friend and girlfriend neglected to pick up on his irritation. Instead, they prattled on endlessly between each other as if oxygen wasn't a requirement.
"You're taking over for baa-chan?" Naruto shouted, wrapping Sakura up in an overly enthusiastic hug. "That's great!"
Sakura laughed but didn't tell Naruto to put her down like she normally would. The reaction the blonde gave her to the news of her promotion was one he could never give.
"Naruto?" a soft voice called and at the sound of it Naruto put Sakura down but kept an arm around her shoulders.
Hinata stood in front of the former team seven, her eyes darting back and forth between them. She looked incredibly uncomfortable with the closeness of her fiancé and Sakura. If she'd been anyone else she might have said something but he watched as she swallowed her complaint instead.
He shouldn't care how Hinata interpreted the two's relationship but he couldn't help but wonder if she was jealous. Was the woman even capable of such an emotion?
"Hina-chan!" Naruto said, utterly unaware of the Hyuuga's confusion. "Kakashi-sensei told me the news yesterday! Sakura-chan will be in charge of the hospital soon. Isn't that great?"
Hinata smiled. It was small and didn't reach her eyes but she looked genuine nonetheless.
"Congratulations Sakura." She said and Sakura grinned happily in return.
"Thank you Hinata! It's going to be difficult but I'm excited."
"We should go out to celebrate don't you think? I hear that the Akimichi's have opened a new barbeque shop and that it's really really good!"
"I'm surprised you're not suggesting ramen."
"Hey! I don't eat ramen all the time!"
Hinata continued to smile as his two loudmouth teammates made plans together. Her lips twitched slightly, her fingers gripping the edge of her lavender t-shirt. She wasn't going to say it. She was too nice to do so. Frowning, he grabbed Sakura's hand and swallowed his own pride.
"No."
