Disclaimer: I don't own any characters mentioned. I am too Awesome for that.
For anyone who loves this pairing. And my story. I'm not picky about whom.
And, yes, it's not my usual infamous Random Humour style. But, hey, we all need to try new things, eh?
He speaks.
"You do know that we're not supposed to be together."
She looks up.
"Yeah."
He raises his eyebrows.
"Then why are you here?"
She shakes her head.
"Because I want to."
His eyebrows go higher.
"You aren't stuttering."
She smiles gently.
"No."
He lets a breath out.
"Hina - "
He stops as her lips make contact.
He breaks free despite his will.
"You can't be here, dammit!"
She lets a single tear run down her face.
"Why?"
He tries to make humour out of it.
"Because Neji and your clan will destroy us both with a vengeance. Because your clan hates me?"
She tries to keep it real.
"I don't care anymore, Sasuke."
He suddenly breaks down.
"Then what do you care about, Hyuga?!"
She looks straight at his eyes.
"You. Me. Us."
He grabs her forearms in a frustrated style.
"Hinata! I am an Uchiha. You are a Hyuga. Not. Never. Meant. To. Be."
She lets out a shaky laugh.
"Who said?"
He lets his hands fall to his sides.
"You won't give up, will you? Even if the self-proclaimed Hyuga protégé comes after us with cleavers?"
She makes her eyes smolder.
"No. Never. I want you."
He snorts.
"Please."
She lets the tears fall completely now.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! Why can't I be with you?!"
He jumps at the teary outbreak and guards his eyes.
"I don't know."
She reaches out for him.
He moves a step back.
"Sa-Sa-Sasuke?"
He turns around.
She looks at his back and encircles her arms around him.
He speaks stiffly.
"Don't make this harder, Hyuga. We can't be together."
"Doesn't mean we can't, Uchiha."
"I'm not right for you."
"Yes, you are."
"Hinata…"
"I love you."
He freezes.
"Wh-what?"
She teases him.
"Who's the stutterer now?"
He doesn't respond but turns around.
'What did you say to me?"
She smiles.
"I love you, you stupid Uchiha. And I don't care what you say. I always will."
He looks half-hopeful and half-saddened.
"I don't want you to."
She raises one eyebrow.
"Too bad."
He suddenly leans in close, gripping her forearms again fiercely.
"I can't be everything for you Hinata. I'm not Naruto. I won't love you the way he could."
She wonders why he brought the Naruto topic up.
"I don't love Naruto anymore, Sasuke. I love you. And your 'weird love'."
He laughs gently and relaxes his grip against her.
"First a weakling. Now a fighter."
She looks proud.
"Thanks."
He looks at her, eyes curious.
"Who made you like this? No stutters, no embarrassment, no finger-thing."
She suddenly hugs him, her lips at his ear.
"You."
He lets his arms encircle her waist and brings her closer.
"I hate it but I love you too."
She smiles into his shoulder and he can feel it.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Yet, I post it anyway. My favourite pairing right now.
Updates will remain slow. As I still retain my laziness and procastination skills.
MYOB!
