sasuhina month challenge prompt (day 1): living together
rating; slight mentions of sex
Hinata Hyuuga found herself in quite a predicament. She was in her boyfriend's bed, wrapped in his arms and she really needed to leave, to change, to go to work. But she found herself stiff as a board and his arm wrapped loosely around her waist.
Thankfully, her natural body clock was so used to waking up early regularly and so she didn't need an alarm to wake up her. She was glad that she naturally worked that way because she didn't want to wake her boyfriend up. Especially since he just came back from a long mission last night.
He was sent off to a two week long mission and Hinata spent the two weeks busying herself with work, trying to not worry herself too much. She was confident that he would come back safely but the idea of him getting hurt was just unsettling to the kunoichi. The previous night she received word that he returned and as soon as she was let off of work, she walked down the familiar path that lead to his house to spend the night.
Now it was morning and she needed to head off to work but she was trapped under his strong, heavy arm.
Hinata pulled out her hand from under her and gently picked up his hand to push it away. She froze when he moved and flipped over to the other side so she was now faced with his broad back. Letting out a sigh of relief, she can finally leave the bed. She was a kunoichi, she knows how to sneak pass without getting caught.
If she was to simply sit up, the bed would definitely dip and he would feel that and wake up so Hinata's best option was to inch herself to the side of the mattress and slide off. She slid her legs over to the edge so they were hanging and gravity led her body down to the floor and she fell with a light thud.
She immediately popped up to check if the tiny noise might have woken up her boyfriend. After making sure that he was still sleeping, Hinata crawled on the floor to gather her clothes. Her pants were close to the bed along with her panties, shirt was close to the door and her bra was tossed to the corner of the room.
After successfully slipping on my clothes, Hinata was sure that she could now slip out of the house. Surprisingly, her boyfriend was still sound asleep. Maybe the mission was a tough one and he just needed a day rest.
Cracking the door open, she was reviving in her successful slip away.
"Going somewhere?"
Hinata let out a tiny yelp and jumped up. She turned around immediately and noticed her boyfriend was definitely awake and watching her. "Sasuke-kun!" She placed a hand over her heart. "You scared me."
"I can see that," He smirked and Hinata wanted to swipe that smirk off his handsome face. "You yelped. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to head home before I start work." Hinata explained, her hand on the door.
Sasuke sat up and scratched the back of his head. "I'll walk you."
She shook her head. "No, no. Go back to sleep. You're still tired from the mission."
"Last night too?"
Hinata's face turned red at his comment. She was already trying not to look at his bare chest and having the memories of their night together a few hours ago. "Okay, I really have to go. I'll see you later."
"Wait," Sasuke called out and she stopped to look at him again, her lips pursed. "You should consider what I said last night though."
Ah. Moving in. Hinata remembered the conversation they had before their...intimate moment. Sasuke asked her to move in to his house since 'she practically lives there anyway.' But Hinata was hesitant to accept. "I'm not sure, Sasuke-kun." Hinata said the same thing last night. Moving in and living together felt like a huge commitment. Not that she doesn't love him or care about him because she absolutely does.
Their relationship was definitely something she was not expecting to happen. They were never acquaintances when they were younger and they were both very sure that they had never even been in the same room together when they were kids. It was after the war that they had a few run ins with each other. Running in the same circle of friends, they somehow managed to see each other more and more often. Not being as loud and outgoing as their other friends, Hinata believed that they slowly gravitated towards each other due to their similar personalities.
Their friendship was something that started out slowly, seeing each other during gatherings and bumping into each other in between missions. BUt eventually, the two started having meals together alone and it kind of fell into place.
Hinata and Sasuke weren't a flashy couple. Both were quiet and private. From the outside, you would not expect these two to get together. However, they were in a relationship, a happy one.
Hinata was happy with Sasuke. She felt like she could herself around him and he makes her feel safe. Sure, Sasuke has some issues with intimacy and doesn't show affection too often, especially in public. She doesn't expect him to change just because they were in a relationship. He can't magically become openly affectionate and loving like Naruto would be. But he was caring in his own way and Hinata understood that he was different in his methods.
"Why?" He sat up so he can see her better. Thankfully, the blanket was covering his lower region. Seeing anything like that would be awfully distracting in a serious conversation like this.
Hinata thought about it after they close the lights. She thought about why she had this feeling on uneasiness when he asked her to move in with him. He wasn't pushy or anything. He let her think about it and was currently asking her why she felt this way.
"I might be a bother." Hinata gave him a sort of vague explanation. She wasn't sure how she can explain that she doesn't know if she should move in. What if moving in ruins this flow they have in their relationship?
"That's absurd," Sasuke gestured with his fingers for her to come closer to him and she listened, walking back to the bed. He grabbed her hand in his and rubbed the back of it with his thumb. "You're far from that."
"I'm not sure if you'll like me the same if we start...living together." Hinata looked down at their joined hands, not wanting to see his reaction.
Sasuke was quiet for a moment and it made Hinata tense. She could feel him tug at her. "It's been how long? Two years now?" It's close to that. They've been together for 21 months now. "This house. It's ridiculous big for just me."
It was a large house. They managed to maintain a lot of land and reserve it for the last Uchiha. It was the right thing to do for all the suffering the young man had to endure and they gave him the right to the Uchiha land. Of course, giving him all the land that was once the entire Uchiha's was a bit much so Sasuke simply took a large house, the land around and let the village build new houses for the other villagers.
Sure, the house was nothing compared to what it was before and it can't be compared to the Hyuuga compound. But it was a relatively big one compared to the other houses in the village with a large backyard and multiple rooms. It could get lonely living there by yourself.
"But it's yours."
"I want you in it. With me."
"But Sasuke-kun..."
"I want to come home to see you." Sasuke stated.
"But you do." She tilt her head to the side, confused. She comes over as much as she can. Hanabi joked that she was 'visiting the compound' whenever she goes back home.
"I want to see you," Sasuke looked at her in the eyes. His hand laced their fingers together and gave the back her hand a small kiss. "Here."
Hinata blushed at his confession and she bit her lower lip to try to hide a smile that was growing on her face.
Sasuke must've noticed, like he always does, because he pulled her over to him so she was directly in front of him, his arms around her and she let herself sink into his warm embrace.
"Besides, did you say you wanted to move out anyway?" He said after they separated but his hands was still on her waist.
"Well, I wanted to move..." Hinata was considering moving out of the Hyuuga compound
"Did you find an apartment?"
Hinata shook her head.
"See. Killing two birds with one stone." Sasuke reasoned.
"What about the rooms?"
"Well, I thought we were going to share this room," Her face heat up once more. "But if you want, you can have one of the rooms."
"Sasuke-kun!" Her hands went to cover his mouth and she could feel his mouth twitch under them into a tiny smile that he rarely shows. He gently grasped her hand and pulled it away from his hand.
"Just think about it."
Thinking for a moment, Hinata replied with a nod with a small smile and Sasuke responded with a kiss on her cheek. She appreciated how Sasuke considered her opinions and feelings, never forcing her to do anything.
"Good. I'm still going to walk you home." Sasuke moved over to the side of the bed and got up to move to the drawers to gather his clothes. He looked over to Hinata who had her hands over her eyes.
"What are you doing?" He asked and she can hear the playful tone in his voie.
"Pl-please put on some clothes, Sasuke-kun." She stuttered, clearly embarrassed.
"Pssh. Nothing you haven't seen before."
"Sasuke-kun!"
Author's Note: I know that this prompt was from 2019 and I never partiicpated in the Sasuhina Month prompts or any SH material at all. However, I do have a lot of time on my hands being stuck at home so I wanted to write as much as I can. I have always been into the SH ship because of all the possibilities and I didn't like how Naruto ended in terms of ships. I never made sense to me so I practically avoid the sequel.
I might continue to do some of the 2019 Sasuhina prompts for the heck of it. I want to write more for this ship that has been so heavy in my heart since I stumbled upon a fic in someone's favorites. (btw, thank you for that)
I hope you enjoy this! This prompt was fun even though technically, they aren't living together (yet).
