Shaking her head, "no, they are all sweet. It's a misunderstanding." she brushed it off. "It's just weird being seen as part of a family."

All the inhibitions she carried fell away, his fingers traced the skin on her neck, hair standing with electricity. Her hand settled comfortably on his chest.
A loud cough from the window, brought their attention to three pairs of eyes staring their way mischievously ."Okay horny birds, I'm starving and we have a concert to go to!" she smirked, Hinata hiding her heated face in his chest.

Loud noise surrounded them as people thrashed about them. Itachi's hand lay strong and protective on her back as they parted through the crowds. Sasuke and Itachi parted and went ahead to grab merch and snacks as she and Ino decided to get seated. "Ladies and gentlemen, the show will begin soon, sit tight, ready to welcome, …"
AN: Happy Easter!
