Without giving it a second thought, she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and kissed his lips.
30 minutes later
The door swung open with the voice of the blonde filling the room, "Sakura-chan, I bought your favorite sweet..Pocky!" Instead of seeing her beaming smile, he saw her usual shining emerald eyes dulled. Her hair looked a mess and tear stains were still on her face.
"Sakura, what happened? Also, where's Sasuke?" He said, noticed he had left. Barely even glancing at her friend she mumbled, "Nothing, he left." Her voice was weak and tears were still in her eyes. what exactly had gone on when he left?
Hinata's house
"Sasuke, you're back! Is Sakura alright?" Hinata wondered. Sasuke's onyx eyes locked with her silver ones and said, "She's fine, let's get back to the wedding preparations." He held her closely and kissed her lips passionately on the lips. he need something to take his mind off what had just happened with sakura.
Back at the Hospital
"What were you thinking!" Naruto exclaimed. "I don't know, I just needed him to know how I felt." Sakura confessed. Naruto's blue eyes lowered, "so what happened afterwards?" He could tell it wasn't good but, he wanted to know. She said, "He simply pulled away from me after I had kissed him. He thought I had gone crazy. He was yelling at me. Saying his wedding is two months away and I'm claiming I love him. He said he wanted to be just friends nothing more or less." "Oh, Sakura. I'm so sorry." He said.
He sat by her on the bed. She leaned towards him and said, "Why is love so… painful?" He stroked her pink locks of hair and said, "Sakura, maybe you should just forget about him." "I can't… I just can't." She sobbed.
Hinata's house
"Who shall sit with Neji and Tenten?" Hinata asked. Only in a bathrobe with her bikini underneath it. "With Naruto and Sakura since they are both couples." Sasuke retorted. "Let's head to the hot tub. I'm freezing!" Hinata said, shivering. Sasuke draped his arms around her and whispered, "Warmer yet?" She turned crimson red and said, "T-Thanks, let's go." As they got into the hot tub Hinata asked, "How long is she staying in the hospital, Sasuke-kun?" "I don't know." He said.
"You went to go see her and you don't know?" She said, suspiciously. Her silver eyes traveled to Sasuke and broke the silence, "Did something happen?" With his onyx eyes barely locking with hers for even a couple of seconds. Hinata trusted Sasuke with everything. After all, they had been happily a couple for many years now. Why would the thought of Sakura and Sasuke together make her furious? Sakura was one of old friends, sakura did like Sasuke but, that was all in the past wasn't it?
Naruto and Sakura two weeks later
After that day they decided not to speak about it ever again. Sasuke had held no feelings for Sakura even now. And that was that. Sure, it might've hurt but, it was time to move on. "Naruto, I can't thank you enough for helping me for the past two weeks. You are so sweet." She smiled. "Just doing it for a very good friend of mine." He smiled.
Her leg had healed and hasn't spoken to Sasuke or Hinata since what happened… "Sakura, I was thinking all this time that the three of us have been friends… You, me and hinata. I can't believe I didn't see it… Hinata liking me more than just a friend, it didn't seem to be possible. I was completely blinded by the love I had for you. I realize, now my mistake. Even though, I'll probably get declined or rejected. I want to tell her how I feel." Naruto said, with his fingers interlaced.
Sakura sat beside him and said, "Are you sure you want to do that?" "Yes, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. If I don't…" He said. "I'm going to meet her tonight. Think you can stay by yourself tonight?" She nodded, "Yea, I'm fine now. Thanks again." He had been staying at her house helping her with everything.
Sasuke & Hinata
"Why are you changing?" Sasuke said. "Well, since you need to know, I'm meeting naruto at the lake." She said, putting her hair up. "NARUTO! What! Why!?" Sasuke said, angered.
"Relax, Sasuke. It's just naruto my best friend. Can't you chill? I love you and only you." She said. She put her arms around his neck, "Listen, sasuke you don't have to worry." "I just don't like you when you're other guys, especially with Naruto Uzumaki." Sasuke confessed.
"Sasuke, you guys need to sort your issues out because you need to find a best man remember?" She reminded him. "I am not going to ask him." Sasuke stubbornly said. "Well, it's either him or your brother." She said.
"I don't need a best man." Sasuke stated. Hinata sighed, "Sasuke, can you just please choose someone! Do you really want to look like a fool!? I'll be the only one with a maid of honor?" Hinata said, annoyed.
"Sorry to burst your bubble but, I am not going to have a maid of honor." Sasuke sarcastically said. Hinata narrowed her eyes, "This is not a time for a joke. You know what I mean! So, decide quickly alright? I'm going now. See you!" She said, dashing out the door. Although, she had no idea why he called her but, she decided to come.
Later that evening at the lake
A certain blonde haired blue eyed guy was waiting to speak to the girl whom he was in love with… Hinata Hyuuga.
He saw a figure coming towards him and he grinned. "Naruto, why have you called me here? There are only two months left until the wedding." Hinata said, annoyed.
"I know Hinata, it's just…" Naruto said, turning red.
"Naruto, what is it?" She said, confused.
She observed his nervous figure. This wasn't like him at all. He is Naruo Uzumaki the most confident guy she knew, never ever feared anything, Yet, here he was in front of her eyes glued to the floor.
He finally picked his head up and looked straight into her eyes and said, "I love you Hinata."
"You, w-what!?" Hinata said, unable to digest the information.
Nothing would have prepared her from hearing this sudden confession from her best friend two months before her wedding to his ex-best friend.
Naruto didn't avert his gaze but, kept looking at her. Waiting for an answer.
The question is would it be the answer he wants to receive or will he become heart-broken like Sakura?
With the wedding just two months away, what will Hinata say?
Preview for the next chapter-
"It looks beautiful." The wedding planner said.
"Thanks, one of my friends chose it out." She smiled.
"Hope you're not getting cold feet now." Her wedding planner, joked.
"Cold feet? Why would I have that?" Hinata said.
"So, have you decided?" Hinata asked, him again.
"Yea, I think you're right darling." He said, holding her.
"Right about?" She said.
"Right, about making Naruto my best man." He said.
"Yea, Naruto…He is the perfect choice." She said, looking out the window.
