Sasuke Uchiha
Ever since he'd been born in this family , one thing was prominent - Keep the family name unstained. If you ever made a single mistake you'd become an outcast, someone who has nothing to do with this family, One of the biggest example was Obito, he committed the grave sin of marrying someone of lower social status, the woman he loved. Now no one knows where they are, if they're dead or alive. Those two were let off the hook on the condition they'd never step anywhere near any of the family members. His grandfather swore to slay the girl in front of his eyes if they slipped up anyway. Sasuke learned never to defy his grandfather Mdara Uchiha from then. His life in a nutshell was always controlled. Except for his friends those were of his choosing.
Girls were always swooning around him and everyone were just plain annoying. Hinata was his first friend outside his family, being the daughter of an influential man Hiashi Hyuga. Neji was included to way. But his best friend was the self proclaimed friend Naruto Uzumaki. He was the one always picking fights with him and blabbering jibberish, how they became such good friends is still a mystery. Hinata liked him. So he must have been good enough. His parents were alkways goi g about being proper and Father always compared him to Aniki. Aniki was his favourite. But Itachi never seemed to have enough time to spare some to Sasuke.
When they were 8, a new girl joined in their little circle of friends Sakura Haruno who was friends with that annoying blond girl. She apparently was Naruto's "one", it didn't matter. But from childhood the three of them manged to form a close bond no one could interfere with. That was the only thing his identity couldn't control. Life was smooth uptil his 17th birthday that Itachi got diagnosed with chronic leukemia. So to carry on the family legacy it had been decided on Sasuke rather that his brother on account of his illness. a few years later, Itachi was sent to Suna for better treatment under a specialized team and he'd been there ever since. The house became empty for him, but no one felt it more than his father. He had gone to Oto to study business for taking over the family business. All decisions surrounding him were taken by the elders. Upon his return what he noticed the most was during his abscence his two best friends bonded quite nicely. The dobe and Hinata had been getting along more than ever, her silent love radiated right through her. But he didn't really feel the jealousy he expected to. What astonished him was the fact that, the girl he saw as school's biggest crybaby had grown in such away that he never would have expected.
As some years went by, he and Sakura got along better as she stopped becoming starry eyed at everything he said and since the dobe was busy learning to follow his father's foot steps. Hinata was busy grooming Hanabi to take over the family's business and learning their ways, now arrived the biggest problem ever. Choosing a bride capable of being the matriarch. Everyone decided on Hinata as she was the best choice. She was beautiful, well educated and everything his family could ever want. Although he was in love with her at one point in life, he couldn't quite picture them together now. So he convinced himself it can't be too hard to fall in love with her again but all he could think of was how it would affect Sakura. Maybe it wouldn't matter so he went with the flow.
But it seemed like fate had other plans for him, when he saw Sakura at his doorstep with the news all he could think was, "They're going to kill her if they found out." So he did what came to his mind on the first place, he drove her away. She can live without him, she can take care of another human being on her own but they'll kill her and diminish any trace of her if they found out. So he did what he had to do to protect her and their child.
Sakura Haruno
Sakura was from an ordinary family but nothing about her appearance was so. She had pink hair, green eyes and a forehead wider than anyone has seen. This was her number one insecurity the reason she was bullied so many times in life. Until Ino came to her rescue.
Soon enough she became associated with the kids who came from all elite family's. Though she wasn't of any elite family thee kids were kind and understanding. She met her first love among them. That was something she didn't know would become a constant. She used to frequently hang out with Naruto and Sasuke since they were the closest to her house at her family's cafe. Mama and Papa were pretty happy she managed to make friends after all the bullying she went through in the first few years, Sasuke was her partner when it came to academics, Naruto was her partner in goofing around. She was happy in that moment when she got to spend time freely with one of her best friends and the boy she liked. Well' at least until she met the best friend of the boy she liked. Those three had a similarity. All of them came from well renowned families. She wasn't a part of that. And that started to become a bother in her pre-teens.
People all around started talking bullshit about her being friends with the kids of the elites so that she could have numerous advantages, but in all truths kids from normal families were never able to accept her for her weird features although Ino said that was what made her stand out. Sakura had a family that always tried to make time for her and growing up Papa had been here best friend, with all weird dad jokes and all, Kizashi Haruno was something she could never replace in her life, Mama was good too but Papa would always be her favourite. The other kids made it one of the facts to tease her about which caused her to drift away from her parents in her some pretty life changing events she started growing close to them again, her and Papa again became the unbeatable team for bothering her mother. She started studying under Naruto's God father's wife or Tsunade sama who was one of Japan's greatest doctors. She became quite distant from her friends at that time because of putting extra effort for scholarships to get into med school. Ino made time for her and Naruto was learning from trips around the world with his God father. He and Hinata started hanging out a lot due to her and Sasuke's constant absence. Sasuke was in Oto studying business and Management. Naruto and Hinata were in the same college for different degrees. Ino was studying in fashion designing and started cozying up to Sai who was in Arts department who was the potential "One". By the time they were past 20 most of the gang started pairing off and their group grew into a big family. All that were left was the four of them stuck in an odd limbo. Naruto needed to realize that he grew that soft spot for Hinata and restrained from it because Sasuke somewhat liked her. she realized she needed to start moving on. No one knows what Sasuke realized though. All of them from team 7 still gathered for group dinners, Sai, Sasuke, Naruto, Her and their ever so honourable Kakashi sensei. She and Sasuke always arrived first due to which they spent time together with her rambling about gorey details of her surgery. Being a Surgeon was tiring but hell would freeze over before she declined any of their friends gathering, they were super rare and even the emotionally constipated Sasuke Uchiha made time for it. Through each fleeting moment each rare meeting, each slow personal conversations about his family and mostly his brother, those couped up feelings rose in her anew and before she knew it she fell in love with him again like an immature teenager. So unlike last time she tooka new braver approsch
And man had it kicked her hard in the ass?
Hey, so I got requests to write longer chapters and I'm really happy that you people bothered to read this. Writing fanfictions is something I'm new at and where I come from it's not something regular for a hobby. I've seen many incidents where people often times take awesome friendship bonds to be sexual tension. So my writing is experimenting with those, I've been lazy when it comes to typing and have terrible writer's block because of a vacation, but I am extremely grateful to everyone who has tried this even to those who left resentful reviews because your anger fuels my writing. Thank you for the support. and I'll try my best for writing longer chapters.
