Drabble Four

Pairing: Uchiha Sasuke x Hyuuga Hinata

Day: Four

Theme: Appetite

Appetite

He observed that her left eyebrow was twitching as he munched down calmly on the sandwich. So she does have the ability to get annoyed.

"Sasuke-san." She greeted though not in her usual friendly and warm way. He just nodded, finishing the sandwich and reaching for another. The Hyuuga was waiting for the dobe to arrive and start training as he typically did around this time of day; she'd even brought lunch to eat with him in an attempt to spend time with him. The whole thing would've been perfect too but as long as Sakura lived, the idiot would never notice the pretty Hyuuga.

"He's not coming today." He stated bluntly, making himself decidedly comfortable on the blanket. It was hard ignoring that hope that was slowly dying in her lovely eyes nevertheless there wasn't anything could do about it and only be there to catch before she fell. He'd make sure she stayed herself even once her dreams were crushed cruelly by her dream himself. "Or tomorrow. It's not a mission."

His breathing hitched, his heart stopped and he gaped.

Tears began to roll down her flushed cheeks yet she didn't utter a sound; the strong Hyuuga Hinata was crying.

Yet she couldn't have looked more beautiful in his eyes.

Deserted the sandwich lay on the grass, attracting ants and the heartless Uchiha did the unexpected – he suddenly drew the sad female into his embrace. Not once did he move or let go of her, he only held her tighter when she began to sob and mourn over the loss of her dream. As she accepted her dream to marry her hero wasn't going to come true.

Once, she calmed down. He released her and dug into her picnic searching for more food, pretending there wasn't a dark wet spot staining his shirt. "I like tomatoes."

It was random and small but enough to make her giggle. "O-okay."
