Prompr 18-Movie Stars AU
Initially I wanted to do this in the same universe as the fake dating one. It's based on pretty much the same idea I guess. I wrote this a few years ago and I wanted to use it; hope yall don't mind. Love ~Dia
Their break-up was the kind of thing that filled front pages for days, it was the talk of the internet, much like their first hook-up was, much like their first meet-up was. Despite working on the same set for a few months, their schedules never matched, they never had a scene together, they were never even in the same building, yet once the movie hit the screens, the unlikely couple picked up fans and speed like a snowball rolling down a hill.
It didn't matter to the fans that the two raven-haired young adults were never on screen at the same time, the only thing that picked their interest was one of Sasuke's character line which mentioned something that had an indirect reference to Hinata's character. That was all it took for the 'SasuHina' fan base to blow up out of proportions.
The 'sasuhina' tag grew bigger each day on all social media platforms, until it received the attention of a few small magazines, then bigger ones which led to several questions asked to both celebrities about the other.
On a red-carpet interview, a reporter from 'KonohaNow!' Asked Hinata what was her first impression when she met the Uchiha heartthrob, after a small laugh caused by the subject of the said question, Hinata stated "No, but really, I never even met Sasuke. Once the trailer launched, I noticed a few posts about me and him, but I honestly never expected it get this big. You'd be surprised how many rumors I heard about the two of us, despite us never actually being in the same room"
The said declaration set the fans on fire, making it their top priority to get the two of them to formally meet, of course in a public way. So, a few months later, both of them stood on a chair across from each other live on 'The Akatsuki', while Deidara couldn't help but grin at the two. Once the show was live it was ranked as one of the most viewed talk-shows in the past years.
After Deidara finished his usual introduction, the two of them got up and officially shook hands and introduced each other. The gesture was a bit awkward which did not escape the public eye, making them come up with reasons such as they were shy to meet, or nervous. If the fandom was big before, after their 'meet cute' it had tripled, making both of them rise on the popularity ladder quite a bit.
Even so, the moment that it was certain that SasuHina was real, was a year after their meet, when without any promoting, a trailer for a movie was launched, with the two of them as the main characters that made a deal to help each other commit suicide. The movie was the most expected one of that year, despite no one knowing anything about it but those 50 seconds showing both of them in front of their laptops writing mails to the other. The title was vague "50 Days" and there were no promoting methods, from posters of the movie, to short interviews about it, none of those existed.
Every talk show host that asked to make an interview about the said movie was shut down, critics were confused by the secrecy, since directors tend to do as much advertising as they can, but it turned out that doing nothing, was the perfect method to make everyone talk about the movie. Once it hit the screens a few months later, the fans that expected it purely based on the actors playing were pleasantly surprised with a well written plot, and marvelous filming and editing. The ending of the movie, was one that left its mark on the YA movie industry, making everyone wish that the heroine would have found her partners in crime affection enough to make her wish to live, but sadly it didn't. The ending broke the world's heart, but no one seemed to mind at all, since the film featured a couple of shared intimacies between the Hyuuga girl and Uchiha boy. From kisses to, warm hugs and even the dramatic final scene, of Sasuke's character walking away crying after Hinata's character funeral, all the tragedy was forgiven.
After finally all the secrets of the movie being spilled, the two actors had the freedom to share everything about the making of the film, from the easiness of working together, to their fast friendship. Pictures of them together on and off set started filling the internet and newspapers for a period of time, only to die down for a couple of months.
Their radio silence was picked up as a sign of their relationship, which was in the 'hiding' at that moment. As crazy as it seemed at the time, the theories were proven somewhat right when a picture of them kissing was featured on the front page of a magazine, followed by a video posted on Hinata's Instagram with her and Sasuke doing a silly dance which ended with the pair hugging and sharing a small kiss.
The fandom could not hold their excitement back, their relationship was labeled as 'goals' for the duration of 3 years, the length of it. But a couple of weeks after Sasuke's 25th birthday their relations suddenly ended.
The media and fans were confused, since they never once made any statement of not getting along, their last picture together was barely a week before the break-up and they seemed content. Everyone was expecting a marriage, not a break-up!
It came hard for him to read about his failed love life on every magazine and news site in the world, but whenever he saw anything with her name, he couldn't help but read, because maybe one of these writers would say something remotely close to the possibility of their break-up being fake, or them getting back together, yet none did that.
"You're sulking again"
Gaara, his friend and bodyguard told him. The redheaded man was sitting on his sofa as well, switching between Tv channels, to anyone he would have looked like a friend only, not like the man in charge of the safety of his life. Sasuke sighed and put his pad on the coffee table.
"She'll be back."
The Sabaku man reassured him, he had been saying that every day since the break-up, and each day it seemed more of a lie. At the beginning he was certain Hinata would turn around and run back to his side, but as weeks passed, he was starting to doubt the possibility.
"You put too much faith in her"
The black-eyed man said while walking into the hallway leading to his bedroom, he was tired and needed sleep. His bed was the only comfort he still had. It was their bed for 3 years. The bedsheets still smelled like her even after being washed a number of times, the mattress still held her body shape.
The last phrase from the article he just read sat heavy on his brain. Everyone was expecting a marriage, not a break-up! He sure had too. He had asked Hinata to marry him, and she dead-pan rejected him, not only did she say no, but she had actually got up and left him.
He knew that she must have had a good reason to leave, he just couldn't figure out what. Before the said incident, she had been dropping hints here and there about getting married. Subtle hints from sighing happily at the end of rom-cons when the couple got married, to straight up forward questions such as whether he would be alright with a western-type wedding rather than a Japanese one.
He was so fucking certain they were on the same page. Every time she asked anything regarding marriage, he sat a little straighter since the ring sad untouched hidden in their bedroom for a little over 2 weeks, before the hints started. He just needed the time to be right, and when he thought it was; apparently, she didn't.
He took out his phone and looked at his messages, he had plenty of those but none from Hinata. When she left, she only asked for time and space and he was hell bound to give her whatever she wanted, but the more time passed his hope of her returning with an explanation grew smaller. Being a person in the public eye, he learnt a few important lessons such as not to read the comments to Drama-articles, but he caved this time. Every comment was full of speculations or just straight-up angry for the way things ended between the two of them.
Finally, he put his phone on the nightstand and sighed. Since they started dating 3 years ago, he was so used to her being at his side almost every day. Sure, they were busy with filming their own movies or tv series, with photo shoots, interviews, talk-shows and everything else their agent scheduled. But everyone liked to take advantage of their relationship and of their common fanbase so most of the times they played in the same series, they were called for shows at the same time, there was not a day to go by when they weren't together for at least a couple of minutes.
Sasuke moved onto her side of the bed and buried his head in her pillow. He kept wondering if she missed him as much as she did him. Her smell still filled their bathroom and there were still days when he'd wake up confused over the empty space in his bed.
He knew Hinata loved him, their love life was full, he would catch her staring at him with a smile on her face, without even realizing it they were always touching, holding hands, their shoulders pressed together, her hand on his knee, his arm around her waist, so without her there he felt somehow incomplete.
He must have fallen asleep at some point because he was jerked awake by a loud crash in the living room. He could hear Gaara talking to someone, not sure who could have caused all this chaos he got up and went to see what was happening. Getting closer to the ruffle he recognized the man talking.
"I don't give a shit that he decided to give her space. Just because that's what she wants doesn't mean it's what she needs"
His breath sped up. Neji, he was talking about Hinata. He never expected her cousin to come seek him out. The older Hyuuga saw him and started moving towards him, Gaara made a move to get in front of Sasuke before Neji could reach him.
"Out of my way Sabaku. He has to come with me"
"Do you know where she is?" Sasuke asked and he moved around Gaara.
"I do, and she really needs you right now"
That was all he had to hear. If Neji thought it was a good idea for him to go to Hinata it had to be, he would never do anything to harm his little cousin. Sasuke only nodded at his red-headed friend and they were on the move.
They took Neji's car, the plan was to get Hinata and if all went well Neji would drive them both to their home if not…he'd still drive Sasuke. He only hoped things would turn out good.
"Do you know what happened?"
The Hyuuga clenched his hands around the wheel tighter. "I do" Sasuke opened him mouth to ask what but couldn't get the words out before Neji talked again. "I really don't think you should hear this from me. Granted you were supposed to be the first to find out after her but we all make mistakes, don't be mad at her, she tried her best"
They parked the car across the street from a hotel, Sasuke followed Neji and Gaara was just a step behind him. They didn't stop in the lobby to ask for the hotel room, Neji walked straight to the elevator and pressed the button for the 12th floor. They didn't talk, the people that got into the elevator on the 4th floor kept staring at Sasuke but they didn't say anything either. Finally, when they reached their destination, they marched down the corridor to room 127. The Hyuuga male sighed before softly knocking on the door.
"Hina..it's me open up" when nothing happened he knocked again but no movements could be heard from the other side of the room. Being fed up with the wait he got his wallet out and took a key card and opened the door.
The room was dark but Sasuke recognized her scent, he noticed her clothes on the floor and finally his eyes rested on her sleeping form on the bed. He took a few steps forward and felt his mouth dry when he realized she was wearing one of his shirts and clenching another one in her hands.
He heard Neji sigh again and he whispered something to Gaara, the two made their way to the hallway but not before telling Sasuke to call for them if anything happened. He nodded without really registering what they were saying, nothing mattered but Hinata at that moment.
He walked up to the bed and sat next to her caressing her check and then her hair, she stirred in her sleep but didn't wake up. The need to touch her was immense, it physically hurt him not to bend down and kiss every inch of her skin.
He didn't stop caressing her face and hair for another 30 minutes until finally her eyes opened, she looked up at him and her smile was so wide he felt his heart bust. She was still sleepy and he wasn't sure if she thought he was real or just a dream but when she sat up and hugged him, he didn't stop her, nor did he stop her when she started kissing him or when she sat herself in his lap.
He knew they should talk but he missed her so fucking much his brain wasn't working right. He forgot just how perfect she fit in his arms.
She was the one who stopped the kiss, her breath was shallow, and her eyes were dazed with lust. That look alone would have been enough to make him hard, but her weight on him and the feel of soft curves in his hands only made his pants feel even tighter.
Hinata looked at him for a moment before kissing her way from his jaw down his neck. Her hands wondered all over his chest and back, she started rocking her hips and he couldn't help the deep throaty groan that escaped his lips. She seemed pleased with the effect she had over him and only started moving faster.
"Hinata…o fuck"
Hearing his voice everything in her stiffened. She stopped moving, stopped kissing and looked up at him like a deer caught in head lights. She was about to get up and flee but Sasuke reached back for her and pulled her into his lap and held her close.
"Y-you're real" her voice was only a whisper. He wanted to kick himself for allowing things to go that far when she obviously thought she was dreaming. Her shoulders stared shaking and soft sobs filled the room.
"Shh, it's okay. Everything's going to be fine"
After a few minutes she stopped crying and moved her head to look up at him. "Why are you here?"
He only smiled at her and kissed her tears away. She didn't push him away which was a good thing. "I asked for time, for space…" her voice was soft.
"I know, I'm sorry I thought I could give it to you, but…"
After looking at him once again she rested her head on his chest and finally returned his hug, her hands fisted the back of his shirt and her legs wrapped around his middle it felt like she was trying to bring herself closer to him, as close as it was physically possible.
"I'm sorry"
"It's fine love" He said into her hair. He didn't know why she apologized, but he didn't care at that moment, all it mattered was that she was in his arms now. Her soft sobs broke his hear and he couldn't help tightening his grip, bringing her as close as possible.
It took her a couple minutes to calm down, her face was on the crook of his neck, his hands buried into her hair, they were both breathing in the other, almost like their need of the other was what fueled their lives and the past weeks they've been working on empty tanks.
Hinata was the first to push away and look up at him, her hands were trembling as she reached out for his face. She cupped his cheeks and ran her thumbs under his eyes taking in the bags, Hinata leaned towards him and kissed his lips softly, just a few pecks nothing more.
"I'm so sorry baby" Her voice broke and he wished he knew what was wrong, so he could fix it.
"What's wrong Hina? You have to tell me so I know how to fix it."
Her eyes filled with tears and she kissed him once more "What if you can't fix it? If we can't fix it?" her voice was barely above a whisper.
She bit her lip and got off of him and walked to the far end of the room. Pacing back and forth, she did it a couple of times before suddenly stopping. "A few weeks ago, I thought I was pregnant"
Sasuke was stunned, her being pregnant never crossed his mind, but it would have been the best news ever, but the past tense filled him with anxiety.
"I didn't want to tell you until I was certain. So, I took a few pregnancy tests 2 of them came off negative but one was positive so I was confused. I scheduled an appointment to check. I-I never had issues with my cycle or infections so I didn't visit my gynecology doctor quite as often as it is recommended" She stopped pacing in front of him and took his hands into hers. "I told her I wanted a pregnancy test and when that came out negative, she suggested we do a few more tests and I said sure…" She was crying again. Sasuke freed his hands from hers and instead placed them on her waist and pulled her next to him. The silence overtook the room.
"I'm infertile" she finally confessed "the chances of me getting pregnant are very slow, I can't give you the family you deserve. How could I do that to you? The day you asked me to marry you was the day I just got the results back" Sasuke silently cursed himself for not noticing the fact that she was upset, he had planned it and was so nervous about it, he did not pay attention to her.
"Hinata, it's fine, everything is ok" He whispered against her hair and placed kissed on her temple. Of course, he wanted to have kids with her, and he would later mourn the loss of that idea but only after he was certain that she would be in his arms. "We're already a family Hianta. we could also always adopt later on, but all I want now is you."
Her eyes were watery and red, her expression was so broken. "You don't hate me? You don't think I'm broken?"
"I love you, you know that, there's nothing that could change that, plus you're not broken love. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you" Sasuke assured her. He couldn't imagine how Hinata felt. "Let's go home ok?" He asked to which Hinata only nodded. He picked her up and walked to the door, opened it and looked at Gaara and Neji who were on the hall away from the door; probably to give them privacy. Neji looked relieved to see them together while Gaara's eyes fell to Hinata and his composure changed from his normal expressionless to sadness. Gaara walked in front of him and Neji was behind him. The walk from the lobby to the car was done in a rush just in case there were paparazzi around.
Neji started driving. "I'll come back and pack all her things tomorrow" Sasuke nodded. They were together, that's what mattered. Everything else would fall in place later.
