Chapter 39: Single Sasuke
Naruto POV:
I was sitting in my living room, watching television, when Kiba burst through my front door. It was late, so I was somewhat surprised to see him. "Kiba what are you doing here?" I asked as I put the bag of chips I was eating down on the table in front of me.
"I have been debating all day whether or not I should tell you and well I have to," he said as he sat next to me.
"What did you do?" I immediately asked.
"Why does it always have to be something I did?" he asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Now I'm not sure I should tell you."
"If this isn't good, I'm going to hit you," I warned him.
"Oh, it's good," he grinned.
"Then just tell me already," I said, getting annoyed as I was tired and about to go to sleep before he came through my front door, he was lucky I hadn't locked it yet.
"Well I was in the coffee shop with Hinata today," he started.
"You've been spending a lot of time with her," I interrupted.
"Shut up, let me finish," he said.
"Please continue," I sighed.
"You'll never guess what we saw," he laughed, almost in a giddy fashion, which wasn't usual for Kiba. "You are going to be so happy."
"Seriously just tell me," I sighed.
"Sasuke broke up with Aimi," he grinned.
"Is this a joke?" I checked before celebrating.
"Nope, she even poured iced coffee on his head. It was great," he leaned back on the couch as he further explained. "He looked like a drowned cat. A hot drowned cat, but a drowned cat none the less."
"You're horrible," I laughed. I couldn't believe that he had finally done it, the fact didn't seem real to me.
"Who cares, all that matters is that this is really your chance," he grinned as he put his arm around my shoulder. "Just think Sasuke's single now and there's nothing to hold him back from dating you." He removed his arm as he looked at me and said, "I mean, his excuse pretty much fell apart now and by what you've told me it sounds like the guy is still hot for you."
I could only smile as I said, "Yeah, I guess you're right." Then it dawned on me that I wasn't there when he broke up with Aimi. "How would I know he broke up with her? I mean I wasn't there, technically I shouldn't know."
"He went to a coffee shop you always hang out at, either he was hoping for you to see or he wanted your friends to see, plus he saw me there. Sasuke may be a lot of things, stupid is not one of them, he knows it'll get back to you," Kiba laughed.
"Oh," I said. "I guess that's true." I just smiled, knowing that Sasuke didn't have an excuse and he was attracted to me. He could only resist for so long if there was nothing holding him back.
Sasuke POV:
I wanted to pound my head into the desk. I knew he would know, there was no way Kiba would keep what happened to himself, at least not after they'd become friends. I wanted to smack myself for not picking a different location.
"A little birdie told me Sasuke is single," a hot breath whispered in my ear. I could feel the heat radiating off from his body and part of me just wanted to grab him and pull him closer. However, I didn't, I shoved him away.
"A little birdie should die," I mumbled in return. He just chuckled and sat next to me, closer than he had been before, probably closer than necessary or than comfortable. I looked down at the table, not wanting to look at him, as I knew his blue eyes would be staring at me as they always did.
"Why didn't you want me to know," he asked, though he knew very well why. He was just playing a game now, a game he started when he had me pinned to the wall, a game that helped me to make up my mind about dumping Aimi. "Why won't you look at me?" he asked, his voice sounded so innocent, but I knew better.
"You know why," I said, looking at the papers, we only had a little bit left to go. I wanted to hurry up and finish, but he seemed to want to take his sweet time.
"Sasuke," he brushed my hair out of my eyes. I looked up at him and our eyes met, I knew then that I had probably lost.
"I can't just get into a relationship right after I just got out of one," I frowned at him. I knew that I needed an excuse, though this one was lame.
"We both know you didn't love her Sasuke," he said, which was true. I felt nothing for her but I was running out of reasons not to be with him and that was scaring the crap out of me. One of his hands cupped my cheek while the other pulled my chair closer to him. I couldn't help but get lost in those eyes. I had known since the bar when we were getting to know each other as friends that I was still in love with him, not just the him I knew ten years ago either. It seemed all of my reasons were falling apart around me.
I moved away from him. "I have to go," I said knowing that if I didn't then something would happen that I would regret.
"Sasuke wait," Naruto called as I made my way out toward the door. I looked back at him to see his pleading eyes and I almost gave in. I knew I just had to work things out completely before I saw him again.
"I'm sorry, we'll continue this tomorrow," I said, though I wasn't completely sure that would be true. I made my way to Itachi's office, deciding there was something I had to do.
