Hinata woke up from her nap. She attentively watch Sasuke drive. He was obviously concentrating at the task at hand. She knew this because he would always scrunch his face up and start biting the inside of his cheek. The act is very subtle and only a few could detect. Hinata felt fortunate to be one of those few.
"Sasuke, do you think we could stop and eat somewhere? I'm starting to get really hungry," Hinata asked timidly in the hopes that she hadn't disturbed the calm car trip they had had so far. When the two of them were together things could get very volatile. Hinata thought of herself as a very collected individual but when she was around Sasuke all bets were off.
"Sure, there is a diner not too far from here. We are doing great on time and I,too, am hungry," Sasuke replied calmly.
"You know I could take over the driving for a while, you don't have to do it all yourself," Hinata offered
"No offence Hyuga but given your track record I'd rather not take you up on that offer," Sasuke answered smugly.
" Are you seriously referring to that one time. It was one small fender-bender. No one got hurt and the car barely had a scratch. If I remember correctly, it only happened because your drunken self was very distracting." Hinata contoured offendedly.
"Now, now hyuga don't go blaming me for your shortcomings," Sasuke said self-satisfied with how much he was getting her riled -up.
"I'm surprised you are even going to this convention. This usually is not your thing. I thought you would be in Guatemala saving the world."
"Well, yeah my life is going through a lot of changes." She replied hoping that he wouldn't bring Naruto up.
"Hyuga, hey...Hinata," she heard Sasuke calling her name but she was so deep in thought she failed to acknowledge him. Naruto had been a sore topic for both of them. Up until last year Naruto made sure to never lead her on despite her obvious crush. However, last spring Naruto asked her out to lunch her he expressed that maybe they should start talking more often and see where things go. Hinata should've been elited and overjoyed but she felt more conflicted than anything else. Naruto returning her feeling never crossed her mind and the possibility of dating Naruto would forever damage whatever it was that her and Sasuke had. But Hinata was done being careful, and she would let life take it's course. With that mantra she looked at Naruto and decided that seeing where things would go wasn't the worst thing possible.
