The Confession

S

I had History first thing on a Friday right after English. I waited slowly for the lesson to end and glanced back at Hinata Hyuuga every few seconds to make sure she was still there. It was going to be my first time approaching someone for a talk but I would never admit that I was nervous.

The bell that I was anticipating finally rang and after saying goodbye to Shino I rushed out of the classroom and waited in the hall for her to make her appearance.

From the corner of my eye, I could see a mop of bubblegum pink hair approaching me and almost bolted to my locker and forgot my mission when Hinata Hyuuga finally left the classroom.

"Oi, Hyuuga." Many curious heads turned but I didn't back down, the girl looked at me with fearful eyes and I beckoned with my hand for her to come over. On shaky legs she approached me and I put on my best smile/grimace, "I need to talk to you about something."

She nodded slowly and we stood there for a while in silence, "do you need to go to your locker?" Brief surprise covered her face before she nodded again and began walking with me in tow.

There was an awkward silence as we walked and I didn't know how to start a conversation so I asked the first thing that came to my head, "why were you staring at me yesterday?" I waited patiently for her to talk as we made our way across the school; from the corner of my eye I could see Naruto watching us pass from a distance with apprehension on his face however I just smirked and looked back to Hyuuga as she began to speak.

"Y-you're different n-now." She stuttered quietly.

My eyebrow raised, "different how?"

She turned a corner and I followed, "Before, y-you used to b-be alone-e, l-like me, but then y-you easily became friends w-with Shino-kun and you s-started to interact w-with people. You-re c-completely different-t from before, from m-me."

I thought over what Hyuuga said while leaning against a wall as she attended to her locker, "so that's why you were staring at me, because you want to change as well?"

Not willing to answer she nodded her head feebly and a smirk overcame my face. Pushing off the wall I looked down at her expectantly, "well that makes things easier," I commented, "I'll be your friend, and so will Shino."

Hyuuga's already big eyes widened as a deep blush crept onto her face, I chuckled at the crimson shade before she shook her head frantically and took a few steps back, "I appreciate the offer Sasuke-kun but I can't be friends with you."

I scowled, I didn't like being refused, "why not?" I asked huffily. Hyuuga giggled softly before sighing, "you're friends with Kiba-kun and I can't be near Kiba-kun."

"Why not?"

For the second time, she took up a silence and I sighed, before turning and walking away. I only got a few steps in before I turned and looked at her expectantly, "I need to go to my locker too you know." I stated loftily making her giggle once more before walking quickly to catch up to my stride.

We walked in silence once more before Hyuuga finally decided to answer my question. "A f-few y-years ago, I liked K-Kiba-kun, and h-he liked me a-as well b-because he confessed to me but I-I t-turned him down."

"Why?" I questioned as we approached my locker, "didn't you just say you liked him?"

"I did!" She exclaimed quite loudly to my surprise. It had obviously surprised her as well as a blush covered her face and she lowered her head before speaking again, "I-I did but I wasn't right for him."

I waiter for her to continue speaking as I opened my locker and searched through my neatly placed books for my needed ones, "I mean l-look at me, I'm n-n-not pretty o-or anything, I have a-a h-hor-rible stutter and I-I'm not very-y s-smart either, Kiba-kun h-has a g-good reputation and I-I don't w-want to ruin it." The girl was close to tears when she finished and I turned to look at her.

"I am looking at you, and all I see is a girl who is about to cry because she made a stupid mistake."

Hinata looked up at me with eyes ready to shed tears and my face softened ever so slightly, "think about it Hinata, you loved- dare I say- still love Kiba, does he really seem like the kind of person who cares about that stuff?"

"B-but-" I poked her in the forehead before she could continue, "well if you can't trust your own 'stupid brain'" I air quoted, "then trust my smart one, I've only known Kiba for a short time but I know he's not one of those people, OK?"

"Sasu-"

"OK?" I interrupted her again. I know it was rude but there's only so much uncertainty I could take. She nodded slowly and I let a smirk grow on my face just as the bell rand for the next lesson.

"Good, you're having lunch with me today, if you don't come I'll hunt you down and make you talk to Kiba myself, understand?"

Hinata nodded sharply this time and I smiled again before scowling and taking a step towards her, "and don't tell anyone I was nice, Kiba may not care but I do so if you tell I will hurt you."

Although she giggled, Hinata took a nervous step back, "of course, Sasuke-kun."

Though I didn't show it, I was smiling slightly on the inside, I liked Hinata, she was nice and I can't say it's because she's a girl because Sakura definitely wasn't. She was oddly sweet and I wanted her to be happy so if Kiba broke her heart, I would break his face.

It was the second day in a row where I was waiting for Sasuke to enter the canteen. I had seen him briefly with Hinata at break time but I couldn't help but dread what was coming next.

"Two days in a row Naruto." Kiba said as he sat in the seat opposite me while blocking my view of the door. Before I could crane my neck to look around him, he grabbed my cheeks with his hands and brought our faces closer together.

"This isn't healthy." He stated as he shook his head sadly. I pried his hands off of my face and scowled at him, "you're not healthy."

Kiba nodded miserably as he fanned himself, "I know, my sexiness can't be considered healthy anymore."

I reached across the table to smack him across the head for his bad joke but he grabbed my hand and tried to bend it backwards. I scowled and ripped my hand out of his grasp before he could do some serious damage.

"What Naruto, giving up already? You wimp!"

I rolled my eyes at Kiba's antics and rested my head on my propped hand, "you're an idiot."

"You're both idiots." A familiar voice drawled out from before Kiba.

I perked up in an instant and looked over to see Sasuke, Shino and… Hinata. I didn't hate Hinata, she was a really sweet girl, I knew that, but for some reason I couldn't help the pang of jealousy I felt when Sasuke looked at me challengingly as if daring me to object to Hinata's presence and the yearning I felt when he looked at her with soft eyes as he directed her over to a seat next to Kiba. The three sat down, Sasuke and Shino normally while Hinata twitched at every noise.

Shino took off his bag and stood, "I'll get lunch, you want anything Hinata." The girl addressed jumped in her seat before shaking her head with a shaky smile, I honestly felt quite sorry for her but then I remembered what she did to Kiba and erased all those feelings.

Speaking of the brunet, I looked over at him to find him staring almost longingly in Hinata's direction. I watched in silence as Hinata looked up and met his eyes for about two seconds before they both blushed and looked away at the same time. I also watched as Sasuke silently chuckled and encouraged Hinata to talk to Kiba.

I looked away quickly when the raven turned to look at me, I didn't want him to catch me staring with an ugly expression on my face. I was experiencing some pretty unpleasant feelings that I didn't want Sasuke to see but I knew they would win out in the end.

After many minutes of awkward conversations and awkwardly agreeing to meet and hang out after school, the bell finally went and I quickly stood and went to leave the canteen. I could hear Sasuke calling out for me but I didn't want to stop, I couldn't or I knew I would say something I didn't want to. But alas, Sasuke is as stubborn as I and decided to chase after me.

He caught me 7 seconds before I was about to enter my (and also his) Physics class. Sasuke dragged me to an empty classroom and promptly threw me inside, "what the hell is wrong with you?"

I stood up from where I fell and faced Sasuke but refused to look in his eyes, "excuse me?"

I didn't have to see his face to know that Sasuke was pissed, "you've been looking at me funny all lunch but refused to talk to me when I started a conversation, also you ignored me when I called for you to wait."

I shrugged, "I couldn't hear you."

"Bullshit." He spat as he took a step closer while I took a step back, "Then why aren't you looking me in the eye?"

Unable to hold back anymore, I let anger take over as I looked into his deep black eyes before pinning him against the door behind him. Our bodies were moulded perfectly together and our faces were close enough for us to kiss but I didn't think of it as I gripped his wrists tightly.

"You want to know what's wrong with me? Fine, I'll tell you what's wrong with me; I'm irritated, so very irritated by the fact that I don't understand you. First you say you don't want friends, don't need friends in fact but there you were being all protective over Hinata who's supposed to be a FAKE friend. Do you like her? Is that why you're acting like that?"

My voice grew weaker as I trailed off at the end as my anger had dissolved. I looked into the widened eyes of Sasuke and released my grip on his wrists immediately; I had no right to take out my anger of my unrequited feelings on him.

Before I could pull away completely, Sasuke's hands went up to my collar and yanked me towards him, our faces were closer now and I could almost feel his lips on mine as he spoke so I had to try hard to pay attention, "I'll say this once and only one, ok, the relationship between Hinata and is purely platonic, I feel protective over her because she feels like a little sister to me, how I treat my friends is none of your business so I suggest you butt out Uzumaki."

He finished before pushing me away making me fall to the floor again. Sasuke barely spared me a glance before he opened the door and walked away leaving me to stare after his retreating figure.

Before I could stop them, chuckles erupted from my chest; I felt a sense of relief wash over me for a second before it was shrouded by dread. My head fell to my hands and I sighed deeply, "I've fallen waaay too deep."

Omake

I watched Sasuke chase Naruto out of the canteen before turning back to see it was just Hinata and I since Shino seemed to have snuck off somewhere. I stood from my seat, she copied hesitantly and before I knew it we were walking to English together.

Lunch today was seriously crazy, I hadn't spoken to Hinata in years and although it was a broken and awkward conversation I still relished in the bliss of her sweet voice. I didn't know whether to than or hit Sasuke.

"K-kiba-kun." I was stopped by Hinata who was clutching the side of my sleeve cutely. I felt a blush rise on my face as she shuffled her feet softly, "y-yes, Hinata." I stuttered nervously in reply.

With a determined look on her face she looked up to me, "I have something to tell you."

I waited in anticipation as she took a deep breath, "the truth is, I-"

"Hey, kids, get to class already!" I turned around to see Ebisu-sensei standing in the empty hallway shouting at us. Realising we were going to be scolded I grabbed Hinata's hand and rushed towards our classroom.

Luckily our teacher didn't notice us coming in late and we were able to slip into our seats but I couldn't get Hinata's unfinished words out of my head so I daydreamed about what she might've said for the first 10 minutes of the lesson before I got a tap on my shoulder and a note was passed on to me, "for you." The girl whispered in my ear before sitting back.

I whispered my thanks before looking at the sheet of paper hesitantly, who was it from? Maybe it was Hinata finishing off her sentence, or it could just be a random friend who was bored.

I glanced back and caught the eye of Hinata who was a few rows behind me to the left. She gave a shy smile with a blush on her face before she looked away quickly.

Gaining a bit of hope, I turned back to the note and opened it slowly and could only smile happily at what it read

The truth is, I've always loved you – Hinata.

That day, Kiba-kun and I walked out of English class holding hands, like a gentleman, he walked me to my next class before leaving to go to his own and I could barely hold back my squeal of happiness.

I could barely wait for the lesson to end, I really wanted Kiba to be there when I walked out, I wanted to be able to hold his hand and laugh with him and even kiss him every day, to be able to relish in the warmth of another.

The bell ringing brought me out of my stupor, the lesson had already finished and yet I had no idea what was talked about, I was thinking of Kiba-kun the whole time.

Speaking of Kiba-kun, he was standing at the doorway of my classroom looking at my expectantly. I felt a smile grow on my face as I hurriedly packed my things and rushed out to meet him.

H

By the time Kiba and I had made it to the front of the school, Sasuke-kun, Shino-kun and Naruto-kun were all waiting while talking happily.

When Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun spotted Kiba-kun and I holding hands together, both of their faces lit up, it made me feel happy that someone cared for me enough to be happy at my own happiness.

"Since we're all here we can go watch that movie now right?" Naruto asked happily as he wrapped his arm around Kiba's shoulder and messed up his hair.

Sasuke opened his mouth to answer but a familiar voice cut in, "not so fast!"

We all turned to see my one year older and over protective cousin striding purposely towards us, "Neji-niisan!"

He glared at Kiba-kun whose hand was still in mine, "I will not let my little cousin out with a bunch of guys, not without me at least. I'm taking Hinata home."

Everyone looked from me to Neji-niisan and I sighed, "this is my older cousin Neji, Neji these are my friends-"

"I don't care, we're going home." Neji cut in with a glare directed towards me this time.

"Why are you taking her home? Didn't you just say you would come with us?" Naruto-kun asked my cousin in confusion. Neji-niisan spluttered and opened his mouth to reply but Naruto-kun didn't let him.

He moved away from Kiba-kun and slung his arm around the long haired brunet instead, "let's go watch a movie together, Neji-niisan."

I watched happily as Naruto-kun dragged my protesting cousin after him with Sasuke-kun and Shino-kun following after silently.

A hand appeared in-front of my face and I jumped slightly before looking up at Kiba-kun, "are you coming?" he asked with a light blush covering his face and his other hand rubbing his neck lightly.

I smiled, in one day I had gained so much, shyly I slipped my hand into Kiba-kun's and allowed him to pull me along to join the rest of his friends, our friends.

The smile on my face grewand my thoughts raced, for the first time, I had friends.
