chapter 2 - new beginings
It had been three days since their traditional marriage had happened and they had moved to the original uchiha compound in the village. Their day went by quietly and contently as they did their daily chores. hinata would cook dinner and look after the house as she had took a month off work, while sasuke would do his duties as a ninja and arrive home.
"What's for dinner today hinata?" sasuke asked anxiously.
"U-um its tomato soup.. I hope you like it" hinata shyly replied with a small pink blush.
Sasuke chuckled as he loved that his new wife knew his favorite food was tomatoes. sasuke had taken a liking to his new bride. he liked the way she tried her best and the way the way she blushed at little things - making cute faces. he also noticed she was a much more confident girl than the young girl he used to know. also he knew that she still made a sad smile sometimes when she thought she was alone in the house.
"so who told you tomatoes were my favorite hinata san?"sasuke questioned.
hinata paused then answered "...it was naruto kun" she had a a blank solemn expression on her face.
sasuke felt a surge of anger and jealousy as he saw hinatas expression. She still couldn't forget naruto. However that made him even more determined to win her over. He found it strange how she wasn't like the other girls fawning over him. It was almost like his first rejection.
sasuke quickly stood up and commanded, "Let's go out for dessert hinata".
" E-eh sasuke kun what about finishing your meal?" hinata fumbled, but it was too late sasuke grabbed her wrist and they headed outside.
They had just reached their front door step and sasuke glanced at hinatas face it was bright red, sasuke blushed a little seeing the adorable hinata.
"Um s-sasuke kun could you please l-let go of my w-wrist.."hinata stuttered looking sideways embarrassed as her heart wentracing ( doki doki).
Her hands were soft, gentle and slender sasuke felt his heart sink when he had to let go. It was an unspoken rule but hinata was not comfortable with sasuke's touch. sasuke apologized in a disappointed way...however he wouldn't give up he would just have to make hinata reach for his hand instead one day.
