Day: Five

Theme: Affection

Affection

It's been two months since he held her that day she cried and they began meeting each other to spar then eat her delicious home-cooked food. After finishing off her food, they'd just lounge around and sometimes talk but it was rare. Enjoying each other's company was enough.

He was also able to accept the fact that, yes he did stalk her and was very obvious about it. He was surprised that none of her family members had caught on and if they had, none had approached him so far. Her protective former teammates had though and had casually joined him as he followed her around while she did her daily routines around the village. They'd threatened him, spent the day joining him in his stalking and the one with the dog had talked his ear off. For whatever reason, Hinata hadn't said anything.

He knew that she knew that he stalked her and wondered how she could be fine with something so creepy. He even asked her the one day about it.

"Because Sasuke-san, it's how you spend time with me and watch my back when trouble comes." Was her response and after that, instead of following her around. He instead walked by her side keeping his strides small so he could walk evenly beside each other. He knew she was fine with him being around; he didn't have to do so behind her back anymore.

He was always there.

It was nice having constant company, especially on those bad days.

Dark eyes dancing over her face as she watched the scene in front of them; Naruto and Sakura walking down the street, holding hands. Her face wasn't blank yet it didn't exactly express any pain or dislike, it was a neutral sort of look. Normally, she'd sulk and wallow in depression. She was getting there.

Proud, he bent and planted a chaste kiss on her forehead.

The world around stopped in bewilderment.

Dear SasuHina Hater who enjoys sending demeaning reviews; due to my sarcastic nature I find your attempts at insulting me rather amusing. I encourage you to continue expressing your beliefs in such an embarrassing manner and showing the world what a simple-minded creature you truly are.
