4. Spark
The first time they kissed he understood what people meant by the spark.
"We're supposed to bring them back," Hinata protested as the hands around her shoulders tightened when she tried to get up.
"We are but you're in no condition to go after anyone,"
"But they're orders," she stressed as she tried to free herself from his death grip.
"I am not going to let you go get yourself killed."
"Let me go," she said through gritted teeth as a sharp pain shot through her leg.
"You're not going to get far with a broken leg," he replied smugly
"You're such a jerk,"
"You're so stubborn,"
"You're stupid,"
"Says the woman who thinks she can single handily bring back a group of criminals with a broken leg and fractured ribs?"
"I don't understand why you won't just let me go after them. I mean I know some healing and can probably mend my leg pretty well and I can probably catch up to them and—" Hinata never finished her sentence because she found her lips otherwise occupied.
Sasuke planned on just shutting her up, he wasn't going to let her go on a suicide mission. He didn't know what possessed him to do it, maybe it was because he had seen Neji shut up Ten-Ten in the same manner. What he never counted on was a spark. It was as if an electric current was coursing through his body as soon as his lips touched hers.
"I already told you. I'm not going to let you get yourself killed,"
Before she could protest she was scooped up in his arms and felt the wind against her face as he made his way back to Konoha.
