Chapter Twelve: Affairs of the Heart
Hinata sits on her couch curled comfortably sipping on a steaming cup of green tea, trying to soothe the throbbing inside her skull as a result of her titillating night out. As she does she thinks of how to respond to Naruto's invitation.
She considers her baggage and doesn't want to unload her problems onto him. However, being alone with him again would undoubtedly erase the hurt she suffered yesterday and she's looking forward to the peace of mind and potential for relief.
As she prepares to reply agreeably to his text her phone rings. It's her sister and Hinata's hand twitches spilling the tea on her leg. As she quickly runs over to the sink to splash water on the heat she answers and nestles her phone between her ear and shoulder.
"Hana-,"
"Where have you been? Father is furious with you," Hanabi interrupts in an alarmed tone which spikes Hinata's anxiety.
"When I agreed to cover for you I didn't expect you to do something so impetuous," she adds.
Hinata wipes her leg and clutches the phone nervously, "H-huh?"
"Your little escapade caught his attention, what were you thinking?" she expresses disapprovingly.
Hinata can barely remember what she did last night and it makes her worry if her father is already on his way.
Hanabi hears soft frightened pants on the line as her sister stutters to formulate a decent sentence to explain her actions.
She sighs "It's not about that so calm down. But I suggest you be present at work next week if he does check in,"
Hinata releases a loud sigh of relief holding her chest "Oh my why didn't you start with that?"
"I didn't think you would be so jumpy about it," she responds in a sharply surprised tone.
As Hinata walks back to the couch she rubs her pounding heart "Of course I'm on edge, if father finds out and pulls the trigger then-," she sighs "I-I don't know what I'll do,"
Hanabi asks honestly "Would it be so bad?- Just give me a sec,"
Hinata hears someone requesting her assistance in the background but she continues.
"Don't you want Sasuke to be blindsided, to watch him crumble after everything?"
"It's not that but-" Hinata gets silent as her sister continues to be hounded in the background.
"What did you say?" Hanabi continues to converse with Hinata.
She replies quickly "It's not worth it if I'm miserable too,"
"What do you mean?" Hanabi asks concerned with her voice sounding as if she's closer to the microphone.
Hinata stutters "D-didn't father tell you?-"
The voice in Hanabi's background grows urgently louder as Hinata hears a door open then close.
Hanabi whispers into the phone "I'll speak to you soon,"
As her sister hangs up Hinata looks at her phone and sighs. She doesn't want her life to be as controlled as her sister's and isn't keen on living the way he had detailed to bolster the family brand.
She teeters back and forth while nipping on one of her nails. She's daunted by the thought of having to fall back under her father's discretion and conform as they agreed when she gets divorced.
Moreover, this talk with Hanabi makes her cognizant that her father has kept parts of their deal secret from even his other daughter and wonders which detail each family member is aware of.
Hinata knows her father usually moves ten steps ahead in his business dealings and questions whether or not he disclosed all the intricacies of his plan to her. She easily comes to the conclusion that he hadn't.
What she previously thought was a gesture of fatherly concern for her well-being now seems to have been another strategic power play using Sasuke's mindset back then against him.
If her suspicion is correct she needs time and a lot more money to make her practice more self-reliant before severing links to the family's main company or it'll be a casualty of the fallout between him and Sasuke.
As she attempts to call Neji to prod the information he's aware of her phone rings and her eyes start beaming like morning stars. She clears her throat and soothes her voice giving the phone a chance to ring out a few times before answering as not to seem overly excited. The noise wakes Ten Ten and Ino who then eavesdrop from her bedroom.
Hinata speaks to Naruto and he apologizes again sincerely for not being easy to access the past week. He explains what Hinata had already figured out on her own, which makes her slightly concerned that she would be nothing more than a burden.
However, even though his image in the status quo got some blowback from him seemingly courting another top elite's wife he assures her that he wants her to come over. Naruto isn't moved by what others think and tells Hinata that she'll live happier if she isn't either.
As he strings together one calming sentiment after the other she loses her worries and becomes excited about their evening together. They catch up for a few minutes and soon Hinata floods him with guesses of what he'll be preparing but Naruto wouldn't let on and she wouldn't give him any special requests. They were both intent on seeing a surprising reaction.
Ino and Ten Ten come into the living room with wide grins taking up most of their faces after prying on her conversation. She wraps up to address her friends who are listening attentively to everything she's saying.
"Can I help you two?" Hinata says putting down her phone.
"Oh please, you didn't sound this half-hearted offering your so helpful services over the phone," Ten Ten replies with a wink.
Ino asks placidly "Let me guess, Naruto?"
Hinata bites her lips and nods, which makes Ten Ten gush audibly.
"If he can make you this red in the face he must be all sorts of special," Ino says with a smirk.
"He invited me over for dinner," she replies.
"Are you going?" Ino asks inquisitively.
"What are you? Of course she's going," Ten Ten responds quickly.
Hinata nods and curls her toes nervously hoping Ino doesn't oppose but to her surprise, Ino chortles at her flushed face.
She holds Hinata's shoulder and smiles "Well, we have to get you ready then don't we,"
Meanwhile
Sasuke is at home preparing for Hinata's return. He's confident that they'll find their way back to each other easier once he reveals Sakura's lie and just has to wait one more day to be able to tell her since she's blocked him.
A smile graces his face as he thinks about her and he releases a sigh from deep in his gut. He's eager for them to grow closer and is zealously anticipating pretending to be asleep while Hinata uses her lips to gently smother every inch of his face, whispering for him to leave his dream and be with her.
Although he saw the videos and is aware that she had a lot of attention last night he's happy that she wasn't with Naruto.
As he continues to tidy their home he finds their points board discarded in the broom closet. Sasuke takes up the board and his smile shrinks when he notices that she's erased all the husband points as she calls them that he had earned from the start of the year.
He hangs the board back in its place and mindfully puts the max amount of points that can be accrued in one year with a negative sign in front. He knows he has a lot of work to do but is willing to go through anything to restore the faith she had in him it doesn't matter how long or grueling it will be, he'll never leave her side.
As he dusts off their picture displays he smiles widely and grabs the uniquely framed photograph of himself on their wedding day. Hinata attended weeks of glass blowing classes to encase his image in an intricate design. He thought the world of her work and he appreciates that it was beautifully made with her love.
He looks over to the photo that he took of her when they first started dating and couldn't keep his eyes off it. He removes it from the bland frame that was sitting next to his and rubs it with his thumbs. He smiles widely almost enough to squeeze his eyes shut 'she still looks as beautiful as she did that day' he says inwardly.
Sasuke can't wait to see that smile again in person. Without much thought, he puts her photo in his briefcase intending to put it on his desk until another thought pops into his head that makes him grin amorously.
Each step he takes in their home reminds him of her, she's constantly on his mind and he spends most of the day reminiscing moments in their relationship. He only hopes that she's thinking of him just as much.
A few hours later at Hinata's apartment
Her friends rummage through her closet, throwing suggestions in different piles on the bed for her to try on. As soon as Hinata steps out of the shower they accost her to test out all the ensembles they deem suitable for her evening.
She tries on outfit after outfit until she wears a dress that screams modest enough to put up a fight but willing to take the risk if he works for it. However, Hinata isn't planning on resisting at all tonight.
After picking her dress she allows Ten Ten to get her hair ready but then Ino checks it.
"It looks a bit fucked up in the back," she voices
Ten Ten claps back "Well your face is fucked up in the front,"
"Don't you have a mute button somewhere," Ino replies grabbing the brush and taking out the pins from Hinata's hair.
Ten Ten snatches them from her "I know what I'm doing,"
The two scuffle and as their hands block each other's carrying Hinata's hair with them.
"Um, my hair is attached to my skull guys," she asks as her head gets tilted side to side.
"Sorry," The two voice in unison.
Hinata sighs as she reaches out an open palm to them both and they hand over the brush and pins that were the source of their scrap. She sits in front of her vanity and fixes her hair neatly, nothing as elaborate as her friends wanted but it was much more relaxing on Hinata's now tenderized scalp.
Her friends send her off proudly, Hinata looked ravishing. As she opens the door to her car Ten Ten runs over to make final touches. She pushes up her cleavage to be a bit more revealing and Ino facepalms as she shakes her head ashamed to be associated with her.
"They're big enough stupid," she says.
Hinata slaps Ten Ten's hands tired of her manhandling her chest "He's already seen them," she whispers to her with a saucy smile.
Ten Ten's jaw drops and she sticks out her tongue shamelessly "Have fun,"
As she drives off Ino waves while walking up to Ten Ten "Did you catch what she was whispering in her sleep?"
Ten Ten nods with an annoyed look "I wish she'd stop thinking about that scumbag already,"
"I just hope no one gets hurt,"
"Ino it's a love triangle not an orgy, of course someone will get hurt," She faces Ino. "Our only concern should be Hinata though, let her make her own choices,"
"I know I know," she replies as she embraces Ten Ten to say their goodbyes.
After a relatively short trip over to Naruto's, she steps out of the car and fixes herself one more time before being in his presence. Hinata wants to look perfect for him but just as she's about to apply more lip gloss his front door opens.
"Blu! I thought I heard someone pull up, you're here early," he says stepping outside.
Hinata quickly tosses her gloss back in her purse "I-I hope that isn't a problem,"
"No of course not, you look amazing," he says as he walks over to her.
Hinata blushes and giggles as she looks at his apron which had certainly seen better days and Naruto quickly takes it off and nervously bundles it in his hand to embrace her. As he does Hinata turns her head slightly subtly asking for a kiss but he pulls away seemingly unaware.
He scratches the back of his head "So… I was thinking, maybe we should go out for dinner,"
Hinata replies perplexed "Huh?"
It's just that I um, well, it's um…" he says shifting his gaze everywhere except towards Hinata who is now nodding slowly with a wide folded smile pasted on her face.
He chuckles when he sees her expression "Maybe I should just show you,"
He takes her hand, leading her inside and as she steps in Hinata is blown back by the pungent smell of burnt something. It wasn't even distinguishable from the other greasy smells assaulting her nostrils.
She lets go of Naruto's hand to quickly cover her nose.
He turns to her and scratches his cheek "That bad huh?"
Wanting to be sensitive to his feelings she moves her hands "No it's not that ba-"
The stench attacks her with even more power and she hastily clasps her nose then shakes her head. Naruto chuckles and holds her shoulders bringing her back outside to get air.
As she freshens her lungs from the vicious odors, he tries to rid his home of the disaster his sense was now blinded to. After turning on the extractor fan and opening a few windows he meets Hinata outside and they lean on her car.
"What were you trying to do?" she giggles.
"Make dinner," he glances at her embarrassed.
Hinata raises a brow "So I was right, you do only live on alcohol after all,"
He chuckles as he turns to her "I guess it does look like that. I just wanted to impress you,"
She holds his hand and looks into his eyes "You don't have to try so hard. I prefer things simple,"
"I can do simple," he replies quickly.
She clears her throat feeling more at ease "Do you think we can go inside now?"
He takes her into the kitchen that now has some breathable air and Hinata was horrified at the mess. This room was a stark contrast from the rest of the house that was gleaming and Hinata concludes that Naruto didn't have a clue what he was doing.
"Did a typhoon pass through while you were 'cooking'?" she teases playfully.
He grins at her as he takes the pots off the stove "Maybe if one did the food would have come out better,"
She hides a ditzy smile as he throws out the blackened meat that she couldn't identify.
"Well your guest is hungry, do you have anything else?" she asks as her smile stretches.
He glances at her "Uh well, I know you can't tell but I don't cook very often,"
She laughs "You don't say,"
He rubs his head as he looks through scanty cabinets "But if you like simple, I have ramen,"
"I love ramen,"—she replies bubbly— "Why didn't you just cook that?"
Naruto looks at her surprised, she was so excited over the simplest meal which happened to also be his favorite.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asks.
"Because you wouldn't tell me what you were making,"
The two laugh and soon Naruto begins to prepare the ramen and broth while Hinata tidies up his crime scene. Although she talks to him unconcerned as he cooks, she cringes when he keeps adding miso as if he's trying to make a salt lick for a horse.
She questions with a casual tone "I know you have this under control but do you want some help?"
He replies confidently "It's ok I got this, It's simple enough,"
She nods and turns back to clean when he gently pulls her over.
"Here," he says offering a sample of the precooked meat wedged between chopsticks.
Hinata chews on the pork and gives him a thumbs up and he feeds her a few more while she finishes the dishes. Afterward, he offers a spoon of the broth he prepared himself and her stomach churns but when she sees the look of pure pride on his face how could she turn him down.
As she takes a sip her nose and mouth instinctively wrinkle but she tries to smile, unable to swallow the far too salty concoction overpowering every other flavor.
Naruto smiles at her compassion "You can spit it out you know,"
With her mouth puffed up, she swiftly shakes her head side to side unwilling to hurt his feelings. She swishes the liquid in her mouth trying to get her throat to accept it but it denies her.
He chuckles "I can tell that you're struggling Blu," he brings her over to the sink "Go ahead,"
She turns to him slowly and looks up at him shyly as she folds her lips. Her mind was made up.
He shakes his head quickly in disagreement "Don't do it,"
Hinata finally forces her gullet to accept the salty soup and lets out a raspy sound from the back of her throat with her tongue out.
Naruto quickly grabs a bottle of water for her to cleanse her mouth.
"Well aren't you a bit stubborn, you didn't have to do that,"
Hinata sips the water and bows slightly, she doesn't like being reminded that she's stubborn.
He cups her chin tilting her head up "Your sweet though,"
She again tries to kiss him and sighs softly when he moves to the other side of the kitchen. He returns to her with sweets to help get rid of the aftertaste.
As she takes the confectionery she smiles and her eyes light up. With everything that's been happening she couldn't remember the last time she satisfied her sweet tooth.
"You don't like it?" he asks tilting his head to look under her bang.
Hinata quickly looks up and giggles "No I-I love them it's just that I haven't had them in a while,"
"How come?" he asks confused.
She glances at him impishly "If you give me a thousand bags of candy, I'll eat them all the same day" she giggles as his brows raise giving off a look of astonishment.
"I didn't get to have sweets growing up so... I tend to overindulge now. I know, I have a control problem," she adds.
He rubs his jaw relaxing his expression "That's a serious sweet tooth,"
She nods as she sucks on one of the sweets taking her time to savor the flavor. Naruto notices the little jig her body does as she eats the candy, it makes him smile.
When he holds her hand Hinata realizes that she was moving and stops feeling awkward that she was even doing it.
"You're really adorable you know that?" he says kindly while rubbing her hands.
"So do you just not eat candy to control this monstrous craving?" he adds.
"No I still ate them,"—she looks at the wrapper and giggles—"I just had to jump through a few hoops,"
He smiles and asks curiously "What do you mean?"
Hinata's eyes sparkle with delight as she prepares to explain "It's so silly I'd have to-" as she looks up at him she stops her sentence short.
Her eyes dim slightly and her smile fades "Never mind I don't know where I was going with that. It's not that important,"
She doesn't want to turn off Naruto by rambling about her husband's tactics to manage her sugar intake. She doesn't want to talk about him at all anymore.
Hinata changes the subject "The liquor has obviously dulled your taste so why don't you let me take over,"
He steps out of the way "Sure,"
Naruto notices the change in her and it makes him uncertain about tonight. Something was troubling her but since she doesn't seem to want to talk about it he doesn't press on.
However, her mentioning his liquor reminds him of something else.
"I'll be right back,"
While he's gone Hinata puts her hair up and tosses out the broth to start from scratch. When Naruto gets back to the kitchen he stops at the doorway and stares at her. He's never seen her with her hair up and it highlights her beauty even more.
Hinata double takes to her right and sees him watching her with his eyes wide open.
She turns towards him "Is everything ok?"
Naruto quickly composes himself and walks over to her scratching the back of his head with a smile.
"I got this for you," he says handing the bottle of wine to her and another bouquet of roses.
"I know you don't like what I drink so I thought I'd get you something to have with dinner," he adds.
She smiles at him taking only the wine as her gaze stays fixed cheerfully on it "That's so thoughtful of you,"
She leans in to kiss him and he shifts his face slightly so her lips fall on his cheek. Hinata stands confused and nervously prepares to ask him an important question she didn't consider before now.
"Naruto… Do you have a girlfriend?" she asks looking straight at him.
With brows furrowed he anxiously takes her hand "No, why would you think that?"
She slowly pulls them away "Then why won't you kiss me anymore?"
He sighs and scratches his head "I guess I wasn't thinking about it,"
Hinata arches a brow unconvinced, she knows that can't be the case.
He rubs his forehead, "Ok… truth is I can't stop thinking about it,"
"Then just do it, I want you to," she replies softly.
He turns off the burner and brings her into the living room to explain his indifference.
Taking her hand as they sit on the couch he begins "…You know I like you and honestly, I've never met anyone who makes me feel this way," He smiles softly as she blushes.
"… I can't get you out of my head, I like the way I feel when I'm near you, and I want to get to know more about you but it's hard because-, it's just that-"
He sighs trying to find the right words "I just don't know what to do because-,"
"I'm married?" she interrupts.
He nods slowly "I get the feeling that you're not looking for love and I don't know if you're willing to start all over… I saw the videos last night too I know you have options,"
"That was nothing and I'll be divorced soon," she cups his chin going in for a smooch but he moves his face.
"Please just have sex with me Naruto," she asks kindly.
He holds her shoulder "Can we hold off until you file at least? I don't want us to do this and you end up regretting it… Regret meeting me because I ruined your chance to remain an honest wife," he replies getting up from the couch.
She stands quickly and turns his face to her "I would never, I'm lucky to have met you when I did,"
He looks into her eyes "Because I comforted you, but am I more than just a distraction from your husband?"
"Yo-you are," she says timorously.
He replies unsure of her "Can you look me in the eyes and tell me you feel nothing for him, you don't think of him at all anymore?"
She responds quickly "I'm not the woman you met that night,"
"That's not what I asked you,"
Hinata recoils from his reply realizing that she isn't listening to him properly.
"He's not the man I fell in love with, I want you Naruto,"
"You want me or you want to have sex with me?" he asks sternly.
Hinata licks her lips as she ponders his question "Can't it be both?"
He sighs "Blu-"
She interrupts "He got her pregnant, I'm done making excuses for him. I won't try to fix it," she steps closer to him and puts his arm around her.
He embraces her tightly "I'm sorry,"
"I'm not, so don't be," She replies softly
He kisses her forehead and pulls her back onto the couch. He looks at her deeply and as Hinata looks into his eyes she realizes that his affection outweighs what she feels for him. She came to get revenge and hadn't considered Naruto's adoration much.
She would commit her body to him without knowing much about him and hasn't even started filing her divorce. It makes her feel awful to be so confusing and insensitive to someone who cares for her deeply. She speaks to him sincerely now wanting to be fair.
"I really do see you as a safe option to get my fix and I'm sorry… I admit that I enjoy getting distracted whenever you touch me or kiss me, it feels wonderful to give my affection to someone else,"
Naruto sighs disappointed and she continues.
"But I do have some feelings for you beyond that. I'm not usually like this with men and I'm different when I'm with you, because I have no doubts about you Naruto,"
Hinata places her hand on his "You could have had sex with me that night but you didn't… So no matter how great my options may be you're still one of a kind in my eyes,"
Naruto sighs and tilts his head and she cups his chin to bring him back "I know this is confusing but you like me and I like you, so where do we go from here?"
"Let's not rush this feeling, even though I want you to be more than a friend that helps out in the kitchen," he says rubbing her cheek.
Hinata lifts a brow "You want help with laundry too?"
His smile broadens and he rubs his jaw "You know, I wasn't going to ask but since you brought it up,"
Hinata laughs loudly and he pulls her closer "You know what I mean. I just want us to get a bit more acquainted and for you to be open with me,"
Hinata nods slowly in response and as Naruto releases her to stand she holds his arm.
She looks at him invitingly "You're forgetting something, it's as much speed as I'll ask for,"
Naruto moves away some of her hair and caresses her cheek. He smiles as he sees the ardent anticipation in her sparkling eyes then kisses her passionately.
They can both feel the frisson between them as their tongues finally interlock exchanging the affection they feel for each other and satisfying the urge they both tried to subdue the moment their eyes met again.
When they finally separate Hinata's cheeks flush quickly and she bites her lips while Naruto's gaze softens even more. Her lust was slowly being replaced by a fuzzy feeling in her gut.
Everything about her makes Naruto feel warm inside, her personality, her humbling nature, and her beauty makes it hard for him to stay away from her. Though he didn't want to be in the middle of her and Sasuke, he wholeheartedly wants her for himself.
"Since I'm being open… I don't like roses," she says with an uneven smile.
His eyes widen "Huh?"
Hinata grabs the bouquet "I mean they're nice but I'm fonder of other flowers. Roses are just not on my list of top five or ten,"
He sighs deeply "Are you going to tell me or I'll have to figure this out like the ramen?"
She grins and nods quickly.
He chuckles "Well, I'm always up for a challenge,"
As Naruto stretches his arm around her shoulder his stomach rumbles.
"Right dinner," she says while speedily getting up.
Naruto smiles widely as he watches her scurry back into his kitchen and follows her shortly after with eyes so bright it could blind her if she turns around to him unprepared.
He leans over on the counter and looks at her while she cooks. He could get used to this, Hinata looks like she could do this with her eyes closed and soon the air was saturated with delicious aromas which makes his stomach grumble even louder, he would eat the puffs of steam if he could.
When Hinata hears his belly she turns slightly and gestures for him to open up. As he does she lissomly tucks small samples of freshly braised pork into his mouth to hold him over until she's finished.
Once Naruto was done eating he lets out a loud groan in fulfillment as he pats his enlarged torso stuffed full of ramen. He looks over to Hinata beside him daintily wiping her mouth and sees that she cleaned her bowl leaving only vegetables.
He leans over to her "Those are good for you,"
She smiles "Do you want them?"
He shakes his head, he's not a fan of them either and is already content with the serving she gave him.
She takes their dishes and brings them to the kitchen and Naruto follows closely behind.
"I'll do them, it's the least I can do after you made everything,"
Hinata moves out of the way and he begins washing up
"So how much?" he asks plainly.
Hinata furrows her brows "Pardon?"
"You're a really good cook, so I'd say I want dinner maybe five times a week,"
Hinata plays along and pretends to write down what he's saying in her hand "Go on"
He continues "You can have the other days off but I'll still need lunch every day,"
"Do you want that delivered or you'll pick it up?" she replies with a playful smile.
He grins broadly "It depends, do you charge more?"
"Well of course but do you think you can handle my prices?"
He looks at her and smiles softly "You know on second thought I don't think so," he dries his hands after washing the last bowl.
Hinata pouts "Why do you say that?"
He cups her chin and uses his thumb to gently press her lips back into a smile "Because you're priceless,"
Hinata's heart skips a beat as she looks into his doting eyes. She bows as she feels warmth rushing to her face and covers her cheeks with her hands
"Stop smiling at me like that," she says softly.
"Okay," Naruto contorts his face waiting for her to look up.
As she glances at him she laughs loudly and uses her hand to flatten the grooves between his brows then stops short as she gets another memory of Sasuke gently tapping her forehead until she smiles.
She dismisses it quickly and squeezes Naruto's cheek "I'd prefer if you smile then,"
He embraces her and rests his head on hers "Have you found a lawyer?"
She sighs but answers positively "I'll find one eventually,"
"I have a friend who can represent you, he's on vacation with his wife now though"— he looks down at her—"Just don't mind him if he says it's a drag,"
She giggles "He sounds like a dream to work with, but I'll still keep looking,"
Soon afterward Naruto checks the time and sees that it was 11:00 pm. As he escorts her to her car he asks if he can come over to her place tomorrow and she warmly welcomes him.
He whispers in her ear "I can spend all day you know,"
She gulps, he knows how to make her flustered "T-that's fine,"
Naruto wasn't joking and turns up at her apartment at 9:00 am with a bouquet of lilies and petunias as a starter to find out her preferred flower. He brings instant ramen as well to show that he actually has a little use in the kitchen. They spend the day getting to know more about each other's likes dislikes, past, and future plans.
Hinata tells him about her family without detailing the complexities of their dynamic, feeling that it's a bit early to divulge to him. She keeps their conversations light and tactfully avoids any topic that would bring Sasuke into her thoughts. She's engrossed in Naruto alone all day.
The Next Day
Ino stands in front of the vending machine indecisive about what she wants for her break when Suigetsu comes behind her with his hands in his pockets.
"There's that ugly mug I've been missing, you've been avoiding me,"
Ino hisses at him without looking away from the snacks "Obviously skeeve,"
"I actually felt that one a little," he replies unmoved.
She scoffs ignoring him.
Suigetsu goes beside her and leans on the machine "Why didn't you wait for me Friday?"
Ino snaps at him "Your dumbass friend is a no good low life piece of-," He kisses her tenderly.
"I asked you a question,"
She licks her lips and sighs "I had to be with Hinata"—as she recovers she asks — "How could you let him cheat on her?"
Suigetsu lifts his palm to her "Just hold on, I didn't know he was cheating until that video dropped. We got drinks like normal and all he brought up when we were out was that Hinata fucked him over,"
Ino crosses her arms unconvinced and snarls "You expect me to believe you had no idea?"
He rubs his temple "It's not like I'm with the guy 24/7. Plus he's not exactly an open book if you didn't notice. Heck these days if the book was buried on the moon it still couldn't compare to how hidden his thoughts are,"
He holds her shoulders "I really had no idea he was cheating too," —he releases her and puts his hands back in his pocket— "But even if I did I wouldn't care, it's his marriage what he does is none of my business."
She sneers at him "How can you even say that? We're their friends,"
Suigetsu smirks "Correction, I'm his friend just like you're Hinata's friend. When he told us that his precious wife was banging some other dude of course I'd be on his side,"
Ino replies annoyed "But she wasn't fish brain,"
"Do you have proof?" he says holding out a hand.
"Do you enjoy being a turd at all times?" she turns to the machine and punches the keys aggressively.
"Why are you mad at me like I'm the one who betrayed you," he asks confused.
"Because you encouraged him,"
He sighs "That would be Jugo, I don't like getting too involved with this kind of stuff but yes maybe I should have reached out to him more than I did,"
She grimaces "Just tell Sasuke th-,"
"God Ino, throw me a bone here. Can we not talk about them?" he interrupts now peeved.
Ino quickly grabs her snack and starts stomping back to her lab when he tugs her back.
"You told me not to fuck anyone else while you're gone and I waited. Then when you get back you block me, now the first chance I get to talk to you we're here discussing Hina and Sasu, give me a break,"
She rolls her eyes as her back stays turned to him and hisses under her breath.
Suigetsu whispers "At least let's have some fun first,"
He leers pulling her close and lifting her skirt then squeezes her butt. As she flinches and turns around he pecks her on her cheek making her gasp.
"Not now dimwit. You shouldn't even be up here," Ino says softly but gestures aggressively as she glances around while fixing her skirt.
"Who will stop us?" he asks wrapping an arm around her waist.
She pulls his hands from her and bops him on the head "I think Ten Ten is catching on somehow,"
He rubs his head and frowns at her "Who the hell cares?"
"I do, if she finds out she'll never give it a rest," she turns and walks away.
He follows her closely as they walk down the corridor "If you didn't act like you despised me so much this would be a lot easier,"
She replies coldly "Who said I was acting? Don't pretend like you didn't stop hating me until that one drunk night,"
"Who said I stopped?" He answers quickly
As she enters her lab she turns to him and grabs his collar "Just come over later you horny idiot,"
She spins around and Suigetsu pushes on the door. He wraps an arm around her neck and pulls up her skirt teasing her now exposed flesh and Ino releases a soft moan from the unexpected rush that was making her desire run rampant.
"But I want you now," he whispers in a pleasant tone which left Ino's body littered with goosebumps.
Before she could reject him she feels his hand shift to generously take hold of her breast, squeezing it delicately and feeling for her nipple under her bra. Her mind clouds as his cock throbs against her ass and she presses onto it.
Her bodily response turns him on even more and he locks the door behind them "Just a quickie,"
He lifts Ino onto a table as she unbuttons her top then kisses her neck enjoying the thrilled look on her face as her head bobs around while she bites her lips. When she wraps her legs around him Suigetsu releases her luscious mounds from her bra and licks his lips as he stares at them.
He delicately pinches her nipples and Ino's chest heaves from the sensation. He buries his face in her breasts sucking and licking on the flesh around her nipples then flicks them both with his tongue interchanging with his teeth to grip them gently until they were stiff and swollen. "Remember this is a quickie," she whispers already wanting to be penetrated.
He smirks "I'll still fuck you until your legs give out," He fingers her slowly, running two of them along her slit and working his way inside until he feels her pussy getting hotter and wetter. He watches in amazement as her face reddens and her eyes flutter from the excitement pooling heavily underneath when he finds her sweet spot.
There was a fire in his groin, his fingers were having all the fun but his cock was solid as a block of steel.
"You better not come," he removes his fingers from her folds wanting her juices to be saved for his cock only and Ino's cunt throbs from the sudden lack of gentle fingers massaging its walls.
"You're such a fucking tease," she whispers breathlessly.
Soon short muffled pants and moans could be heard from inside the room as he slowly plunges himself into her on the table filling her with his cock that urgently needed this relief.
Her apparatuses clink-clank for several minutes as he strokes Ino gently, getting her used to his size again and she writhes from the overdue pleasure. Suigetsu isn't planning on letting her off easy after ditching him for a month. He isn't slowing down instead his pace picks up faster and faster and as his pounds become relentless it rids Ino of conscious thinking.
He lifts her from the table and braces her on a wall wanting to get a better grip as her legs shake and weaken from his hips striking her hungrily. "You know how long I've been waiting?" Ino whines as he fucks her harder and he pulls out slightly and sucks her tongue into his mouth as her moans start growing too loud "You'll have to pipe down if you don't want us getting caught,"
He buries himself into her balls deep to get her ready "You don't make it fucking easy jerk," she replies harshly in a whisper while strangling him.
He taps her hand until she lets go "Just be quiet." then takes full advantage of the position. He lifts her legs from his waist and pins them to the wall to thrust into her freely and Ino bites his neck hoping to draw blood as she swallows her cries of sensual bliss, clawing at his back whenever his tongue nips on her tender nipples, leaving streaks of red all over. He doesn't care and rewards her with even more swift digs deep into her warmth.
Sweat drips from their skin marking the wall behind Ino who is still worried about someone catching them "We're getting sacked for sure." He ignores her and she soon gets lost in his timely lurches. He couldn't get enough of her grip as their bodies buck wildly against each other's. Her cunt tenses with every pound rocking her core and her thighs quiver, unable to do anything even if she wanted to regain some control over him.
"Can you still stand?" he asks and Ino nods slowly her eyes relaxed and drooping already under the effects of energy exertion.
Suigetsu sets her down and turns her around ready to ensure he keeps his oath to fuck her until her legs need legs but they buckle as soon as they hit the ground.
"You fucking liar," he murmurs and Ino arches her back while he pushes her onto the wall. He's been saving up all his pent up frustration from having her gone all month and intends to make her feel it tomorrow.
As Ino places her hands against the wall he squeezes her ass and pummels her wet dripping entrance, slamming into her cunt while she cries his name softly. His balls slicked with her fluid slaps on her ass and he groans a raspy "Fuuuck," when her rings clutch onto him more. He's been craving this moment for so long and it's providing even more pleasure than he expected.
Suddenly there is a tug on the door handle and Suigetsu quickly covers her mouth as he had no intention of cutting their heated romp short.
The person at the door knocks for a while and Ino tries to tense up as Suigetsu continues to drill his way deep inside without care. He feels the new friction and drags her backward then sucks on her neck "It's locked." She trembles from the awareness that she is too far gone to move quickly enough if someone had barged in.
Ino sucks in a sharp breath of air as he rubs her clit. He shoves his tongue into her open mouth, flipping her's around as their heads swing. His body jolts and his breathing becomes heavy as he feels her muscles matching his rhythm and tightening up around him.
"You're so fucking perfect," he groans and Ino presses her hips onto him indicating that he doesn't have to pull out, much to his satisfaction but he fights back wanting to feel her juices running down his length before he releases.
As his cum starts streaming up his strokes become more desperate and ravenous to soothe her body's desire before his and as he sees the look on her face he covers her mouth and Ino forces out a loud "Fuck!"
She bites his palm as his drumming beats away deep inside causing her rings to swell and drag on his cock, it makes his eyes flicker to stay open.
Her walls spasm and clamp onto him and he continues to pump her as she releases the built up essence from her months long trip, and Suigetsu stops and pulls out slightly to watch her coat his already sleek cock with added lubrication.
Her legs start giving way further and he braces her body on the wall so she can stand upright with little effort. He spreads her legs with his keeping them far apart and squeezes her breasts while he licks her neck caringly content that he's satisfied his most useful friend.
"Took you long enough," he grunts.
He grips her hips sinking his fingers in her skin knowing he'll leave marks and jams her with fast paced and reckless thrusts and Ino cries with anticipation cursing him out under her breath as his cock fattens inside her. He groans wanting to compliment her moans but is unable to vocalize.
His breathing shortens to bursts no longer than half a second as his heart drums in his ears from the relentless workout of his unceasing hips jerking himself further and faster. He's been saving all his energy for her as she requested and will hold his cum back until she comes again.
His pleasure peaks when Ino starts gyrating on him and he rests his hands on the wall overwhelmed by the feeling of his cock getting swung around by her possessive silken tightness while he batters it.
As her grip pivots his cock faster his stomach coils and he grips her neck groaning in her ear demanding her to stop, he isn't ready to evacuate her. Ino whispers to him incoherently and his breathing staggers as she triggers his orgasm, it gushes from him and floods her slot and he hoses her down, emptying himself deeper inside as punishment for making him come.
Remaining glued together they both pant heavily coming down from their high trying to regain a degree of levelheadedness. Soon after Ino sits on his lap drained and he rubs her cramping legs until she can stand without falling. They open the windows to freshen the air from their prohibited act and clean up.
As Suigetsu buttons his shirt he looks at her "Now that I can think straight, what were you saying?"
Ino scoffs "Just tell that dipshit not to drag out their divorce. He owes her that much,"
"They're getting divorced?" he replies shocked.
She nods "He got his whore pregnant,"
Suigetsu runs his hand through his hair "Oh fuck… Damn, that's pretty rough on them,"
They all knew just how much they were overjoyed about starting a family and contemplates if this was the reason Sasuke had become so recluse with him.
She rolls her eyes "You're only worried because we won't have an excuse to be out together anymore,"
He smirks and pulls her close then smacks her ass "I prefer being inside anyway,"
Ino scowls at him with a tight jaw "Just try to convince him, and for the love of God don't make it seem like you found out from me,"
Ino frees herself and opens the door showing him the way out but his gaze becomes unfocused as he considers how difficult a task it is to convince Sasuke to do anything, he's nowhere as close to him as Jugo these days.
Ino grabs his arm and tugs his absent minded body towards the door. She kisses his cheek bringing him back then shoves him out of her lab.
Hope you enjoyed the read! Thanks for all the feedback last chapter as always.
Hope you like SuiIno here.
A/N: Don't worry this Hiashi thing wasn't pulled from thin air I made sure to bring him up as one of the reasons for Hinata being skittish about divorce as far back as the third chapter. I did leave an outline on Ao3 after replying to someone's enthusiastic curiosity. So I'll put it here as well.
There is one testosterone heavy event that will take place in chapter 13 and it will be the official catalyst for the split since it will set off Sasuke's mindset for greater introspection or lack thereof.
The two chapters thereafter will split the fic to NaruHina/SasuHina. In both Kakashi will play either a major role right away or later on depending on what version you read. After that, the tone between Sasuke and Hinata will either slowly mellow out/ quickly become more intense.
The upcoming drama between Hinata and her family as well as the friendship circle that's currently splintered will play a part in how their relationship continues. I'll leave some hints about what's going on with that but it's not standalone, it will tie in with an interaction between SasuHina and 1 other person further down.
Added to that there is still one more major reveal that I think by now has flown over everyone's head but it won't be too bad because by then it won't even matter much.
I hope this outline helps. I know it might sound a bit confusing here but I plan to wrap it up nicely.
Please if this fic isn't for you don't torture yourself guys. Remember reading and writing this stuff should be entertaining on both ends and I truly wish all of you happy reading.
