Mostly just dirty language but Hinata x (guy of my choosing) will come back in full force next chapter.
Naruto looked at his phone. Sakura had called him four times today and left a voicemail. He listened as she pleaded with him to come over. Ever since they began to talk about the option of abortion, she had fallen into a depression and he felt responsible for it. He knew he shouldn't go; she had other people to talk to. Ino had stayed by her side so why was she pestering him?
"Naruto…please. I don't want to be alone."
He gripped the steering wheel, parked outside her building. 'I'll just make sure she's okay.' He hurried inside, avoiding the judging stares he imagined in his mind. Sakura opened the door and threw herself at him, sobbing.
He closed the door behind them and rubbed her back. Even if he had sworn to cut her out of his life, Sakura was one of his oldest friends and she needed him right now. His wedding ring glistened and his throat tightened. 'Think of Hinata. Always think of her.'
Yet this mantra didn't help when she first kissed him. He and Sakura were at her place as they reminisced about high school. He joked about his crush on her but she merely sighed. The next thing he knew, she was straddling him and kissing him. It didn't take much for him to return the kiss. When they pulled away, he felt incredible guilt and tried to push her away. Sakura merely took off her shirt and fumbled with his belt.
"Sakura, no!"
She continued as his protests became weaker. "Please…" she begged as she began to stroke him. "I made a mistake, Naruto. I see it now. I just want to see what I missed out on."
He jerked his hips up into her mouth as she began to suck. "Fuuuck…"
She took him in and hummed; his mind in a haze as he pushed his vows to the back of his mind. Naruto groaned as he experienced something he dreamed about for the longest, that is until met Hinata. Even afterward, he felt lingering feelings when he realized he loved Hinata more. But his carnal desires blocked out any rational thought. He leaned back, weak from the pleasure.
Sakura continued to work him over, determined to get off. "I know you want me," she purred. Once satisfied he was ready, she started rocking back and forth. "Yes! Yes!" Sweat covered their bodies. They locked eyes before she came and he quickly followed.
Things were awkward afterwards and she pulled him aside after Ino and Sai announced their engagement at a dinner. She had chosen a closet for privacy but the closeness only made things worse and he cheated once more. Hinata nearly caught them but was called away by Ino at the last second, something that frightened Naruto, not enough to stop, and thrilled Sakura.
It became routine. Naruto used cliché excuses such as working late or hanging out with his friends which poor trusting Hinata believed. He would go to Sakura's place at least twice a week which didn't raise eyebrows since they were friends. Sometimes Sakura would want him to be rougher than usual which confused him.
He didn't know that it was during those times that Sakura had felt particularly ignored by Sasuke, who had never returned her feelings. Yet she basked in Naruto's attention, feeling no guilt when she thought of his wife. This wasn't something permanent, but she wanted to be loved.
Naruto grabbed a glass of water and handed it to her. Sakura looked up at him. "I know we have to do it, but I feel horrible. What if something goes wrong and I'll never have kids?"
"You will," he replied, patting her back. "Just not with me."
She frowned and leaned into his chest. 'Would it be the worst thing to have this child? Someone I could love and love me in return? I hate being alone.'
"Maybe she will have been okay with it. Eventually I mean. You said she forgave you. What if we do have it and-"
He stepped away and scowled. "No! And you better not tell her, Sakura. I mean it. We agreed that we will terminate it and move on."
"Easy for you to say! You can just pretend this never happened but I won't!" She screamed. "We fucked! Many times and we have a child together!"
Infuriated, he grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Shut up! You're upset, I get that but don't forget how bad this will turn out for us all. I'm not leaving my wife and we will not raise a kid that isn't hers. If you decide to keep it, I won't help. You will be alone, do you understand!? Think about that before you choose."
She glared at him and he tightened his hold to the point of bruising. "Do you think Sasuke will suddenly realize he loves you when he finds out? Do you think he wants to be with a single mother?" Her green eyes widened and he pushed her away. "We're doing this tomorrow. I've already set the appointment and I'll be there with you. If you don't show up, then forget about me because I'll sure as hell forget all about you."
He stormed out and she screamed in anger. 'How dare he talk to her like that? How could he be so heartless?' She put her hands on her stomach. As cruel as he had put it, she knew he was right. She didn't plan to form a family with Naruto. Sakura wanted Sasuke; she wanted what Naruto had with Hinata. In order to do that, she had to make sure nothing stood in her way and that included what was growing in her womb.
"I have to put myself first, it's better this way," she apologized. Sakura had to focus on a future with Sasuke. Her love for him had never truly waved and she had to try harder. It would be worth it in the end.
Hinata heard the door open and huffed. It wasn't that he was out late; she could take a guess where he was, but what truly bothered her was the ruckus he made. At least when she came in late, she tried to keep quiet. She looked at the clock and rolled back. If she went to bed now, she could still get a decent night's rest before work. The doorknob jingled as Naruto tried to open it, either seeing if she had forgotten to lock the door or see he was given permission to finally join her in bed. She had not and he grumbled as he headed to the guest room. Hinata sighed as she snuggled and pulled the covers to her chin. As if she wanted to get near him after visiting his whore.

"How about a little twirl?" Toneri suggested. He put a hand on his chest as she reluctantly complied. "You always take my breath way, Mrs. Uzumaki. How about a trade, Hachiro? I'll throw in two of my best assistants for the lady? It's a good deal."
Hinata relaxed when her boss clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Toneri, you drive a hard bargain but I'm going to have to refuse. Mrs. Uzumaki is one of our hardest working workers here. Let's get these negotiations for the Sarutobi account out the way and I might consider your offer."
Toneri chuckled as he was led to the conference room. Mr. Ibushi gave her thumbs up and she tried to look cheerful. She knew what game he was playing, she just had to keep Toneri happy while he was here. Her boss had rewarded her with a slight increase which made it more tolerable. She just hoped that his visits would stop soon; she was tired of his accidental slips against her ass and ogling.
"Hey maybe if you show a bit more cleavage, he'll promote you." She rolled her eyes at Genma, the security guard. "What? I'm just saying. Hell, I say go for it. You won't hear me complain."
She batted her eyelashes. "Uh huh. Should I make my skirts shorter too?" Hinata slowly pulled up her skirt and he smirked. "Tell me when to stop." However she stopped as it ended slightly below her ass. "Genma!"
"What? I didn't say stop. I wanted to see if you wax or not."
She fixed her skirt and playfully smacked his chest. "Pervert."
"But you like it," he countered. Genma was one of the first people that she connected with. At first he seemed aloof and cold. However he did come to her rescue when Toneri tried to corner her in the storage closet. From that day on, they became friendlier and liked to tease one another. Flirting was a more appropriate term but they never fully crossed the line. Genma was well aware she was married, even if she didn't act like it or talked about her husband.
"Guess what?" he asked. She hummed in response as she filed away some paper work. "I got the night shift."
"That's sucks," she replied. "Haven't you been here since nine?"
"Ten," he corrected. "But I won't be out until eleven."
Hinata crossed her legs and rested her head on her palm. "The building closes at seven. What do you do when no one's here?"
"Make sure we don't get robbed?" He shrugged. "But mostly I just jerk off."
Hinata burst into laughter which drew stares and she covered her face. "I bet we'd be robbed blind if it was a group of naked women who broke in."
He wiggled his eyebrows. "Planning a heist?" She smirked coyly. "Well, I should be going. Hey, send me a photo. I need something to keep me busy tonight."
"Yeah right." The phone rang and she answered it. He winked and left to his station.

The following morning, she was surprised to see Genma. Usually after a double shift, they were given the next day off. He looked grumpy, which she didn't blame him for and made him coffee. He scowled at the sound of someone putting something on his desk but when he saw who it was, his face softened.
"Hey," he greeted her.
"Hey." She handed him a muffin. "I won't bother you today. But be ready for extra teasing tomorrow."
Genma smirked as he bit into the pastry. "Oh you can never bother me. But if you want to make me feel better, why don't you give me a nice view?"
She raised an eyebrow and looked around. It was still early and the only people here were either in their offices or still at the café located in the lobby. Genma nearly choked when she unbuttoned the top button of her top and pulled it down. He could see the top of her bra and focused on the creamy skin of her breasts.
It ended far too quickly for his taste and he whined when she covered herself. "Have a good morning!" She walked away before he could say anything.
"Dude, close your mouth," Izumo said as he sat beside him. He nudged his friend. "You're drooling."
"Shut up," Genma replied. However his eyes stared at her backside. He couldn't believe that she had done that. It was so bold and spontaneous. Genma needed to relieve himself. "I need to go to the bathroom, watch my food."
For the whole day, he tried to sneak off and go to her desk. It wasn't like he had a reason to talk to her but he just wanted to get another glimpse. The moment his break started he bolted only to be disappointed when she walked past him with a notepad in hand, most likely to take notes at a meeting. He tried to get her attention as she walked out for lunch but the crowd blocked his view.
Defeated, he decided to push the encounter to the side. But when she came back from lunch, he noticed she looked distraught. Hinata walked past him but he jogged to catch up. "Hey, what's wrong?" She shrugged but he knew she was upset. "What happened?"
"My car won't start and I can't figure out why. I left it back at the restaurant's parking lot," she explained. "I need to call a mechanic and tow truck. My husband hasn't answered his phone either."
"Did you try to jump start it?" he asked. She shook her head in confusion. "Hold off on that call. After work, I'll drive you there and we'll see if I can get it working again."
She brightened up. "Okay! Thanks!"
After his shift, he waited for her at the lobby and he noticed that the weather had turned for the worse. It began to pour by the time Hinata walked towards him. She looked out the window and frowned. "Is it safe to try in the rain?" Hinata asked.
Genma sighed and shrugged. "We can try. I'll just need an umbrella and be real careful."
There was a flash of lightning and Hinata shook her head. "No, I'll call to get it towed to the mechanic."
"Are you sure? I can still try."
"Yeah, I would feel horrible if something bad happened to you."
He smiled. "I'm touched. At least let me give you a ride home."
Kotetsu tapped Izumo's shoulder and pointed towards them. "You owe me. They're totally fucking."
"Seriously? Where's your proof?"
"He waited for her," his best friend pointed out. "You know he usually bolts as soon as he's off the clock."
Izumo snorted. "Shows what you know, her car stalled and he's probably going to take her home. Besides, if he does I'm going to kick his ass for not inviting me. Have you seen that ass? I'd like to spit roast Mrs. Uzumaki. Oh, Izumo. Fuck my ass."
"Forget Genma, what about me? Kotetsu, I want to suck your dick," Kotetsu mimicked in a high pitched voice. They continued to joke as Genma and Hinata exited the building, unaware of their jokes.
Hinata stared out the window as they were stuck in traffic. She heard him huff and felt bad he stayed an extra hour for her. "Genma? I really appreciate you doing this for me."
"Yeah, no problem," he replied. "Did you call your husband and tell him everything?"
"Naruto didn't answer." She replied. Part of her was upset she still had to rely on him. She left a message on his phone but he never replied.
"Huh. So that's his name. You don't really talk about him a lot."
Hinata gave him a half smile. "There's not much to say."
"Hmm. Well he's a lucky guy to have landed you." Hinata tried to smile. "He's probably busy or whatever but I'd drop everything to help you. Like I'd let you walk or take the bus in this weather."
"Such a romantic, Mr. Shiranui," she teased in an attempt to alleviate the mood.
"Only for you, Mrs. Uzumaki," he replied but her face fell.
"I hate being called that. I'm getting divorced," she admitted. His eyes widened and the car behind him honked so he'd move forward. He pulled up enough to satisfy the people behind them and he turner back to her, imploring her to explain. "He cheated on me with one of his friends."
"He's gay?"
"No," she chuckled humorlessly. "A woman. They knew each other before I came along. I always felt like there was something between them like a strong bond or secret but I didn't want to find out. I pretended I was completely blind since he said he loved me and married me. But it happened and I'm moving on."
He leaned back and shook his head. "Do you want me to kick his ass? Hinata, I'll go and punch his lights out as soon as I drop off. You know what? I'll help you drag his ass out of your place."
She looked at him, alarmed and waved her hands. "No, no! It's really fine. I'm still with him for right now until I can stand on my own. He doesn't really know I what I'm planning on doing. Besides, I haven't been the best wife lately." Hinata thought back to Shi and Utakata. "I've done things I would have never done before because I just want…I don't know. Something different?"
"So you're legally married but there's nothing there," he surmised. She nodded, even if she still felt something. Hinata had to feel something since she still felt hurt by his betrayed. Yet these feelings were not enough to keep her there, especially since Naruto was still in contact with her.
The traffic started moving and the rest of the ride was silent. However she noticed they had missed the exit. "Genma…?" He pulled up to an empty street.
"Hinata, you don't deserve that. I don't care what you did afterwards but I know you're really funny and kind and hardworking. And I wasn't lying. He was fucking lucky to have you but fuck him and the woman he cheated with. I know what a great person you are."
"Genma…"
"Seriously. I'm single and love the hell out of it. But if I was ever ready to settle down and have the whole family lovey shit, I'd want it to be with someone like you." He turned to look at her but she began to cry.
"I wanted a family, too," she sniffed. "But we were waiting until he got a steady job, you know? We were barely making ends meet but then he landed a good job. Then his excuse was that he wanted us to enjoy married life without kids for a little bit since we're young. He promised to spoil me and take me on trips, things we couldn't do as much when we had kids."
Her knees shook as she recalled hearing the heartbreaking news. "He got her pregnant."
"That fucker. That's it, I'm kicking his ass." He revved up his engine.
"Genma, please don't. I don't want him to know I'm leaving. I just want to make a clean break and if he gets a hint, he might make it hard for me to leave," she pleaded. "Promise me, you won't do something."
He growled but she cupped his chin to look at her. "Promise me."
"I can't." He shook his head and she looked down. "I can't because I want to do something for you. I want to do something to you, actually. But you might-"
Hinata surprised him when she placed her lips on his. "Was that it?" She asked.
Genma licked his lips. "More than that." The rain poured harder and it was stifling inside the car. Genma laughed humorlessly. "But I'm not the guy for you. That shit that happened to you? That's why I don't believe in marriage. Hell, I can't stay with one girl for long myself but I don't string them along."
He expected her to move away or frown at him, not smile. "I'm not looking for someone right away. I'm having fun for the first time. Experiencing things that make me feel good even if it's for a short time. Forget that I kissed you. I don't want you to feel like you need to make me feel...wanted? It's okay."
He groaned as he ran a hand down his face. "It's not pity or any shit like that. I want to, believe me. I just don't want to ruin what we have a work. I don't really like many of you suits up there. It's nice not dreading going to work."
"I understand."
Genma shifted to drive. "You know I wasn't lying. If I ever settle down, I hope she's like you."
"Aw, I'm touched." He laughed and took her home. He insisted on walking her to her door, pulling her to the elevator even as she asserted that he didn't have to.
Naruto heard Hinata laughing and quickly opened the door. He was furious. "Where the hell were you?! Do you know how terrifying it was to get a call from the insurance company about towing your car? I thought you were in an accident!" He turned his fury to Genma. "And who the fuck are you?!"
Genma narrowed his eyes but Hinata turned around and placed her hands on his chest. "Thank you for giving me a ride, Genma. Let me get you an umbrella." She pushed past Naruto and was surprised to see Sasuke was in her living room. She quickly grabbed an umbrella and handed it to Genma. "I appreciate it."
The older man smirked and turned to her. "Yeah, no problem. I'll give it to you tomorrow. Stop by after work." He subtly winked at her and walked out, ignoring Naruto. He threw out his position to keep things friendly and innocent between them. This guy irritated the hell out of him and Hinata deserved better. He wasn't that guy but if she ever needed someone to fuck, he'd gladly take her up on her offer.
Hinata frowned; she thought he had the day off tomorrow. 'Did he mean…?'
"Who the fuck was that Hinata?" Naruto asked.
"He's a coworker of mine. Genma gave me a ride because my car stalled," Hinata replied. She didn't want to lose her temper in front of Sasuke. It wasn't like they were friends, frankly she thought he disliked her since he never really talked to her, but the Uchihas did business with her father's company. She didn't want word to get to them about her marital troubles. It would only make things worse.
Naruto scoffed, obviously not believing it. He had excused her previous late night outing but after talking to Sasuke, seeds of doubt sprouted. "Why didn't you call me?"
"I did."
"No you didn't."
Hinata pulled out her phone and thrusted the screen in his face. "I called you three times. Left a voicemail and text."
Naruto paled, realizing he had taken the wrong phone to work. He bought an identical one to the one everyone else used which Sakura could call when she felt depressed. If he opened his locked drawer, he'd probably see her messages flashing on his main phone. "Oh," he dumbly replied. "Hinata, I'm sorry. I just…"
"I'm going to take a shower. Nice to see you, Sasuke." Hinata briskly walked to her room and Naruto felt like an idiot. Sasuke stared after her.

Naruto was surprised when Sasuke knocked on his door since he hadn't seen him in months. He was a private guy and didn't seek Naruto out unless something was wrong. Naruto was ready to hear some terrible news but Sasuke said he just wanted to catch up. "How's life?"
He listened attentively as Naruto confessed how he royally screwed up. He begged Sasuke to talk to Sakura; cheer her up because he couldn't risk being caught with her. Naruto left out the pregnancy because he wanted Sasuke to hook up with her. He doubted that Sasuke would want Sakura if he knew she got pregnant by Naruto and had an abortion. Instead, he said Sakura felt alone and abandoned since most of their friends had chosen to support his marriage.
However Sasuke merely scoffed saying he wasn't good at cheering people up. "Besides, I find her annoying."
"C'mon, man. Please?"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "I don't know why your wife still with you. I guess she really loves you or feels a sense of loyalty." Naruto looked somber. He chuckled. "But it wouldn't surprise me if Hinata was out there screwing other guys."
The blond grabbed his collar. "Shut the hell up. She would never do that."
"Like you wouldn't?" Sasuke replied as he pushed him away. Naruto apologized and sat down. "I mean it's only fair. You got some and she gets some. I kidding," he added after sensing Naruto get irritated.
They heard voices a male and female. Naruto's eyes widened when he recognized Hinata's laughter and Sasuke watched drink in hand, as their marriage continued to fracture. Naruto tried to look cheerful as Hinata slammed her door shut.
"Maybe it's for the best. You got married young and never really fit. It's okay to realize it's time to end it before you waste more time. At least there's no kids involved," he said. Sasuke could see the despair in his eyes and sneered. "Call me if you want to talk."
He left feeling accomplished even if Hinata wasn't there when he arrived. He wanted to see how much she had changed before making his first move. Sasuke was against their union from the beginning. Hinata could never work with someone like Naruto, someone brash, loud or exasperating. She was calm, sophisticated and graceful. Someone like her could only wither with Naruto; Hinata was suited for someone better.
Sasuke expected her to be the depressed one in this situation not Sakura. He was glad she was stronger than he expected. It was another trait that he appreciated. There was a spark of possessiveness when he saw her with her coworker. Sasuke wondered if she had more than one thing going or if it really was innocent. But he'd let Naruto worry over that and the annoying banshee.
He'd take care of Hinata, like he always wanted.
I'm not done bringing more guys in. Let Hinata screw around while Naruto and Sakura suffer. And suffer they will because it's fun. Keep flaming, it's fueling another idea which I'll dedicate to you.
