A/N: I apologize for the short chapters/drabbles. I'm trying to catch up. I will try to make the next few chapters longer! I can't believe it's almost over!
Day 19: Pressed Flowers
Hinata would never admit it to Sasuke, but she had kept her pressed flowers in manga books that she think he'd enjoy. The flowers that he gave her were tucked safely among the pages and whenever she missed him, she was able to open them up to see the beautiful flowers he had given her. Or she would reread the manga once again, whichever struck her mood.
That's why she didn't see anything wrong with letting him go through her shelves when he visited her for the first time.
Hinata timed it accordingly. Her father was on a business trip, her sister was on a club trip, and Neji was visiting Tenten for the weekend. Since it was just Hinata for the weekend, the staff was excused. It was the first time in a long time she would be able to breathe without her family around her and she wanted to enjoy it with Sasuke.
Sasuke agreed to coming over and offered to bring dinner but she refused him. She wanted to cook him a meal and then they would maybe watch a movie afterwards and spend some valuable time together.
"Your room reminds me of you," he said upon entry. "It's soft and sweet, but I can see hints of your personality that you keep tucked away."
"You know me too well," Hinata replied with a tongue out. "Anyways, feel free to read anything or watch anything on the TV. The remote is right next to it."
So Sasuke did what Sasuke does best and snooped around her room. He noticed all the pictures she had, with her family and friends. A lot of them were with her sister and an unnerving amount were with Kiba and Shino. He noticed that there weren't any pictures of them.
Sasuke realized that him and Hinata had never taken a picture with each other. Out of the pictures of them and their friends, Sasuke was missing or Hinata was the one who was taking the picture. He frowned at that thought.
He moved to her bookcase and noticed it was filled with fantasy and romance books along with an impressive amount of manga. One caught his interest and he pulled it off the shelf, only for something to fall out of it. He noticed the shape to be one of the tulips that he had given to Hinata when he confessed his feelings. That was almost seven months ago and Sasuke's heart swelled.
Sasuke sat on the floor, with his back against her bed and read the manga. When he finished that one, he found another book that had flowers pressed in it and ended up reading that one as well.
"Dinner's ready," Hinata told him, finding him reading the second manga. "Oh! I see you found my collection."
"You pressed flowers in here," he commented, "My curiosity took over."
"I figured you like those books," she blushed, "I hope I was right."
He walked over to her and pressed a kissed to her lips, "You know me well."
"I hope you're hungry for parmesan chicken," she said, a blush covering her cheeks.
"Starved," he told her. He placed the book with the flower back on the shelf and followed her out. He would coerce her to take a picture with him later.
