Sit down, call your sisters, and buckle up. It's a long one! A Genma ending in honor of his upcoming birthday. But don't expect me to have Sasuke's ending in time for his unless I get more free time.
Hinata knew that before she could make any decision, she needed to know where the men in her life stood. While the physical aspect of her relationships was satisfying, she knew that a real relationship couldn't be sustained with just that. Hinata needed a partner to help her emotionally and mentally in all aspects of her life.
After giving everything to Naruto and seeing how toxic that relationship dissolved, she was weary. Doubt crept in her mind; what if Genma with all his wonderful qualities ended up hurting her just like him? What if Sasuke's adoration was simply superficial? Frankly, she didn't quite know them as well as she thought. So Hinata decided to change that.
"No sex," she had told them.
"I'm not in the mood."
"Can we just hang out?"
They had different reactions but had agreed to her terms. Genma with his soft grin shrugged and asked her if she wanted to go to the movies, while Sasuke had a scowl on his face. It was by getting to know them, at least Genma, that Hinata realized who needed her support and who her support system was.
But it was time that eventually revealed their true colors.
Sasuke had finally broken and snapped at her when she declined to accompany him to a resort. The underlying meaning was obvious and Hinata didn't want to ruin all the progress they had achieved. The constant pressure to be exclusive and cut off all ties with her previous lovers was daunting. Sakura had also touched a nerve when she mentioned something about Sasuke's family, but the dark haired man didn't seem ready to share it with her.
Whenever she would try to get below the surface and find out who the true Sasuke Uchiha was, he quickly and firmly shut her down. It was discouraging that he wanted so much from her but wasn't ready to trust her with anything personal.
"What are we, Hinata?! I mean, I really thought we had something and after everything that we've done… Are you just playing with me?" he asked. His eyes narrowed dangerously at her and that unsettling feeling began to return; disturbing possessiveness wasn't a trait she welcomed.
"Sasuke, I'm trying okay? It's just I need you to be more-"
"More what?! I've given you everything, haven't I? What more do you need?" Sasuke spat. "Are you still fucking guys? Does your stupid little rule only extend to me?"
Her eyes widened and she crossed her arms. "I can't talk to you if you're going to be like this, I'll see you later."
He grabbed her arm, preventing her from escaping. "Do you know what I gave up to be with you? Don't fucking walk away from me."
"Let me go, Sasuke," she warned. "I don't need to justify my actions or who I talk to but I can see you won't let it go. So no, I'm not screwing other guys but I'm not exclusive either."
His face relaxed and she yanked her arm away. "Goodbye," she said with such finality.
He frowned. "H-Hinata, I'm sorry it's just that I'm-"
She sighed but kept her distance, avoiding his outstretched hand. "Maybe this needs to end, Sasuke. I'm not sure if I'm what you're looking for since you aren't opening up to me."
"I love you."
It was so blunt and she had heard it before from his lips but all it made her feel was confused.
"Why?"
Sasuke looked confused. "I... I just do."
All she needed was to hear something, anything that proved he had listened to her. Something that proved he saw her more than his fuck buddy or someone he possessed, she wanted to hear that they had connected on another level. This relationship wasn't going to go anywhere if he didn't meet her halfway and try to build something with a solid foundation. The sex was incredible but Sasuke was too emotionally stunted and closed off to give her anything else.
"How can you love what you don't understand?" With sadness in her eyes, she smiled at him. "You don't really know me and I don't know you. Bye, Sasuke."
She walked away, resisting the urge to look back because Hinata knew that Sasuke had a gaze that could easily lure her back in. It would also lessen the guilt she started to feel.

"Why the long face, Dollface?" Genma asked as she picked at her lunch. They made an effort to see each other at lunch at least twice a week. Those were her favorite days because she always left the table with a wide smile.
Thinking back to Sasuke's messages on her phone, she shrugged. He had apologized and listed qualities he loved about her but they all sounded generic and not personalized. "It's nothing."
Her companion frowned and clasped her hands together, making her gasp. She frantically looked around to see if anyone had noticed. Genma chuckled. "Why are you so shy?"
"What if someone starts another rumor? Everyone gave Iruka such nasty looks when that awful rumor surfaced about us. He didn't want to be alone with me and always called someone over whenever he had to talk to me," she explained.
It had made her angry that upon hearing about her divorce, people began to speculate about the reason. Iruka had always defended her and her work ethic which turned their suspicions on him. For a while, she felt like he had abandoned her. Eventually he apologized and the rumors died out but those couple of weeks felt like torture.
"Fuck them," he replied. "Besides, they don't want to get on the bad side of the head of security. If anyone gives you shit, give me their name and parking space number."
She smiled and he winked. "There's that beautiful smile I love. So tell me what's on your mind? Don't lie either, I know when you're upset."
"Really?"
He nodded as he swallowed a bite. "There's this eye shift thing you do to avoid looking directly at someone or you play with something in your hand. It's pretty obvious you're feeling torn up about something."
Hinata blinked back in surprise but shook her head. "I just feel awful about what I did to Sasuke. He did lose his best friend and risked a lot. But I don't think we're good for each other. I feel like I owe him-"
"Screw that. You don't owe anyone shit, Hinata," Genma grumbled. "He's an adult and you were upfront about everything just like you were with me. If you feel obligated to love someone, then you're only going to hurt yourself and them in the long run."
Lunch was quiet afterwards but Hinata felt a little better and decided set things straight with Sasuke. He needed someone but without any sense of direction, she couldn't say with certainty that she was that person. She cared about Sasuke but it wouldn't be enough, especially with his desire for her to become completely his.

"Can't hang out tomorrow, Hinata," Genma told her. "I have a date. So raincheck?"
Although she smiled and teased him, there was a sinking feeling in her chest. Hinata tried to clear her mind after Genma walked away but her thoughts were jumbled. She wondered who this woman was, what she looked like, and what Genma thought of her.
'It's none of my business,' she thought. 'He's allowed to see anyone he wants.'
Yet as she lay in her bed, those questions still haunted her mind. The thought of Genma being happy made her feel warm, but the thought of another woman had her heart reeling. Feeling too much like Sakura, she forced herself to think of other things. She did not own him and to think so was selfish.
Every time he would say he had a date, she smiled and suggested places to eat. And every time, her smile would feel painful on her face. It would've been easy to call Sasuke and make those feelings disappear or have a one night stand with someone else, but it felt wrong. Feeling satisfaction for a brief time wouldn't solve her pain this time.
And it also felt like she would be betraying her heart.
Seeing how Sakura had become insanely obsessed, she briefly wondered if she was coming down with a similar illness. But she didn't see Genma as someone that belonged to her or wanted to hurt the women he was seeing. Hinata wanted him to be happy and if that's what he wanted, then who was she to stand in the way.
Yet she hoped that the throbbing in her heart would soon fade because it was becoming painful to be near Genma.
"Dollface?"
"Hmm?" Hinata asked, not looking away from her phone. Hanabi had been texting her nonstop about potential suitors and she was running out of reasons to decline. It was too soon to let someone new into her life.
"Are you angry with me?"
She quickly looked up at his face. "W-What? No! I just have stuff going on."
"Do you want to talk about it?" He raised an eyebrow. "Is your dad pressuring you to work for him again?"
Hinata shook her head and smiled. "It's nothing serious. Hanabi's just very persistent about other things." She laughed and cleared her throat. "So how did your date go? Anko, right?"
He chuckled and her heart sank. "She was something but eh...I'm not seeing her again."
"Oh," she softly replied. "That's a shame." Hinata's phone buzzed and was happy to give her attention to something else. She didn't see Genma's gaze and the quirk of his lip.
"But I do have another hot date lined up so don't feel bad for me," he smirked. "I'm thinking of taking Mei out for dancing this time."
"Sounds fun," Hinata said. She paid for her meal and waved goodbye, hoping her walk didn't look too tense.
That night, Hinata flipped through the channels trying to find something entertaining. But primetime on Fridays was generally lackluster, probably because everyone tends to go out instead of staying in. As she searched through her movie collection, she heard a knock at her door. Peeping through the peephole, she saw it was Genma.
Opening the door up a bit, she stared at him. "Genma, what are you doing here?"
He raised the bags in his hands. "I just thought we could finally hang out or something. It's been a while."
"But don't you have a date? Did something happen?" Hinata asked with concern. "Did she stand you up?"
"As if," he scoffed. "I just cut my losses early and decided to go somewhere fun tonight."
Hinata pressed her lips together. "But I'm just watching a movie, there's nothing special about that."
"Cool with me." He moved forward but she blocked him.
"You should go," Hinata said. "I mean go to the club or something. I bet it'll be more interesting than a boring night here."
Genma clenched his jaw. "So you are mad at me." Her mouth opened but he continued. "What did I do to make you upset?"
"Nothing!" she exclaimed. "You didn't do anything wrong. I just… It's been a long day and I just need time to relax."
"Bullshit," he argued. "You're lying. I did something to upset you. Just tell me what it is so I can make it better."
"Genma-"
"Did I insult you?" He asked.
"No. I'm fine, I swear-"
"Did I say something about your family?"
"I told you already. You've done nothing-" Hinata said in a higher pitch.
"Is it all the women I've been seeing?"
Hinata tensed and she looked away. "You should go. Please." Her voice shook and she hated it. She had always been so strong in front of him yet now she felt weak. "You didn't do anything wrong, Genma."
"So why can't you look at me?" Genma asked. "Hinata, are you mad at me for being with other women?"
Hinata swallowed and cleared her throat. "No. I could never be mad at you for that. What kind of person would that make me? You can see whoever you want, Genma. Don't worry about me."
She tried to close the door but he forced his foot in. "See that's the thing, I can't not worry about you. I hate seeing you so upset and knowing I'm the reason. I can't sleep well unless I fix this."
Her hair blocked her face as she struggled to close the door. "Genma, go."
"Why?"
'Because I don't want you to hurt me,' she thought miserably.
"Hinata, I'm not leaving until we settle this," Genma said as he squeezed his body in. Hinata saw it was a futile effort to stop him and returned to her couch. He set the bags on her kitchen table and removed his jacket.
"It's not fair, you know. You can't tell me what to do," he told her sternly. She nodded and felt horrible about the pain in her chest whenever they talked about his dates or whenever a woman glanced his way. "If I want to fix something, I'm going to do it. I mean, I've finally met someone I connect with and-"
"Congratulations," she said tearfully. "You should leave and go to her."
'And leave me to cry alone. Please I don't know how long I can stay composed.'
He sighed and ran his hand through his brown locks. "She's so damn sexy, funny, and kind. She's really the perfect woman to be honest." Hinata felt her heart crack with every word. "I want her more than anyone else and I can't let it go just because-"
"Then go!" Hinata erupted. She felt the tears threatening to fall but couldn't hold it back any longer. "Go to her and leave me alone! I'm happy for you, I truly am but can't you just let me wallow by myself?! I'll feel better if you just go to her now! God, you're so damn frustrating!"
"You don't really want me to go, do you?" He asked quietly. She wiped her tears and looked away. "Hinata, do you hate the idea of me being with someone else?"
She took a deep breath to steady her voice. "Genma… I hate myself for hating the idea of you and someone else. But I shouldn't feel like this because I have no right. So go, I want you to go and be with her if she makes you happy."
The silence was deafening and Hinata stood up to get some space between them. However she didn't expect him to pull her into his lap. "Genma-!"
He kissed her and as much as she hated it, moaned in response. Quickly gathering her bearings she pushed him away. "Stop! We can't do this anymore. You have someone else and I won't do that to someone else."
"And you call me frustrating," Genma chuckled and shook his head. "Don't you get it? Hinata, the woman that has me feeling like this is you."
Her mouth opened in shock and he took the opportunity to kiss her much more deeply this time. Between his kisses he spoke. "I wanted to respect your decision so I tried to forget how you make me feel, Dollface. I went with other women thinking it'd be easy but you're pretty unforgettable." His smile fell and he took a deep breath. "Hinata… I've been with other women."
She pulled away but he cupped her cheek. "It's fine. I mean, we aren't together-"
"But I didn't feel anything afterwards," he said. "Hell, the more I tried the harder it was to get in the mood. Anko sure as hell wasn't pleased with my lack of enthusiasm and kicked me out of her place. Hinata, I know it's not the time but I want you to know that I've fallen for you."
She gasped. "B-but you've said you can't."
"Can't what?"
"You can't see yourself with anyone," she finished. "You told me you can't commit to one person."
"I thought so too." He nuzzled her neck. "But now I can't see myself with anyone but you." Genma saw her hesitation. "Hinata, I'm not forcing you to make a decision. I just wanted to stop hiding how I feel about you. But if you do decide to give me a chance, I promise you won't regret it."
He got up and caressed her cheek. "I'll see you later, okay?" As he reached to grab his jacket he felt her pull on his arm.
Looking at him, Hinata smiled. "Do you promise not to hurt me?"
"Cross my heart." Genma leaned down and pressed his forehead on hers. "Hinata, I want you to ask me to stay."
Feeling her heart beat fast, she started to tremble. "But why me? Genma, you can find so many other people who are better than me."
He exhaled in annoyance. "Really? Because I've been looking and let me tell you, you're one of a kind. I mean you still have your faults," he grinned. "I don't get why you dislike pecan ice cream but can eat that mint chocolate chip crap. I worry about your teeth with all the sweets you eat especially those cinnamon buns. I've never met anyone who dislikes crab and shrimp as much as you do. It's unheard of and frankly should be illegal."
Hinata started to giggle and sniffed.
Genma grinned and placed his hands on her shoulders. "But despite all that stuff, as much as it would be a deal breaker for me," he joked, "You are an incredible person. You know what I love about you? I love how determined you are. I love how despite all the shit you've been through you're the strongest person I know. You aren't scared to try new things. You worry about my health I love how thoughtful you are and how you selfless you are despite how much it might hurt you. I've never had anyone who cared so much about me like you do."
He took a deep breath. "And Hinata, I never loved anyone before. Everything feels so new and exciting with you. Everything feels better. If this is what it feels like to be in love, then I get it. I get why people act so impulsively and foolish. It's a wonderful thing, to be in love."
"Genma," Hinata said softly. "I'm still scared."
"That's okay," he assured her. "I'm kind of new to this and I don't know what to do next. All I'm sure of is I care about your happiness and will try my damndest to keep you smiling."
The feeling was indescribable but not foreign. Her body tingled with elation and her mouth twitched as she struggled to keep from smiling so much. There was a fluttering in her stomach and she felt her cheeks start to burn. Hinata recognized this feeling; she had felt it when Naruto had told her he loved her. She was so innocent and unaware of what love could do to a person. But things had changed and she felt better prepared to face whatever changes it brought.
"Do you want to stay?" She asked. "I was just going to pop a movie in."
His face relaxed and he nodded. "Let me just put the ice cream in the fridge. I felt sick just purchasing the abomination. I swear the cashier was judging me and was this close to apologizing."
She laughed and stuck out her tongue. "Says the guy who loves squash soup?"
As they settled on the couch, Hinata cuddled next to Genma. Her head rested on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her. It had been the most peaceful Hinata had felt in a long time.
They slept together, well not intimately, that night. Hinata didn't feel pressured. She woke up in his arms, in her bed and simply stared at his face.
"Do I have something in my face?" he sleepily asked. His smirk emerged when he saw her blush. "I'm not complaining if you're checking me out."
He lazily traced his fingers on her shoulders and she sighed with contentment. "Genma?"
"Yeah?"
"What are we doing? I mean where do we go from here?" She asked.
He yawned and pulled her leg over him. "I go wherever you want me to. If you still need time, I'll wait. But if you're ready, I'm right here to take the plunge with you."
Hinata curled up and laid her head on his chest. "I...I want to try it." She felt his heart beat faster. "I want to try with you."
"Are you sure?" There was no trace of humor.
She nodded. "You understand me better than anyone else. I feel safe whenever I'm with you."
His chest rumbled with laughter. "I'm sorry, it's just that no one's ever called me the safe bet. I'm the guy your father warns you about. Well, I used to be."
"We both used to be different people." Hinata hugged his body tighter. "Genma, I feel strong like I could take on anything and that's because of you. You've never judged me. You've had my back since day one and I'm scared of losing you."
"Never," he replied. "And don't give me too much credit. You've had that strength in you before I met you, Dollface."
"But you never tried to control me, you let me shine." Hinata felt her eyes water again but this time there wasn't pain behind them. "And I appreciate it."
"Are we really doing this?" Genma asked. She nodded and he rolled on top. "Good because I want to set some rules. First one, no more crying. If someone hurts you, you tell me and I'll kick their ass even if it's me." He kissed her and pulled away. "Second rule, pecan ice cream is now a staple in your fridge."
Hinata laughed and shrugged dramatically. "I guess…"
"And I'll make sure I have cinnamon buns in my kitchen," he conceded. "But none of that toothpaste ice cream. What else?"
She scrunched her nose. "We'll try to cook for each other every other weekend."
"Sounds good to me." He kissed her forehead. "Anything else?"
Hinata suddenly frowned. As exciting as is felt to take the next step with Genma, she needed to think about it seriously. "We need to tell people," she whispered. Hinata cringed when he tensed. "I mean not immediately and I'll look into the policy we have at work but I do want people to know. Eventually."
Genma pretended to contemplate the idea and nodded. "Good thing I already did. All we need to do is disclose it to HR and let our direct supervisors know. There's nothing against our relationship so whenever you're ready, I'll tell them."
"When did you look into it?" She asked, stunned he was so prepared.
"After I realized I cared about you more than anyone else," he replied as if it was a no brainer. "So...how about we freshen up and start our cooking lessons? I have this omelet recipe I know you'll love. "
x-x
Surprisingly, publicizing their relationship at work didn't have any major complications. Iruka for one seemed relieved that any suspicion he was involved with Hinata in any way was now non-existent. The rumor mill briefly started again with Genma now the in position of the homewrecker that caused the divorce but the couple didn't let it affect them. Hinata had faced harsher words and judgmental stares all her life while Genma simply didn't give a damn what anyone thought of him. Their work performance and professionalism eventually extinguished any flames that fueled the office gossip and now people didn't look at them twice when they arrived or left together.
Kakashi seemed to have a gleam in his eye whenever he saw the two but Genma's possessiveness was evident by the glares he shot back and kept an arm around her shoulders as they walked out of work.
Genma never thought he could feel so jealous. Of course he knew about the other men Hinata and it didn't bother him. Much. Even his attempts to date had mostly been a front to see if he could connect with another woman like he did with her. Changing the dynamics of their relationship caused him to act a bit differently but not for the worse.
Izumo and Kotetsu were on his shit list, not for threatening his relationship with Hinata, but for a rather petty reason. He had heard of their little bet, joking about what a great lay she must be and who she would move on to next. Instead of knocking some sense into their heads when they turned the corner, he grinned. The smile stayed on his face as he explained to his subordinates how thoughtful they were to take his shift with employee evaluations fast approaching. Suffice to say, they nodded and hurried to their stations.
"That's so sweet of them!" she gushed. However he could barely refrain from scoffing as he opened her door.
Hinata couldn't help but feel grateful that this opportunity had presented itself. As much as she loved how much they connected without sex, Hinata wanted him to bend her over and take her like only he could. She jumped at the chance to hang out when he explained that Izumo and Kotetsu offered to take his double shift that night.
As she nibbled on the popcorn, her attention was not on the screen. She didn't know how he would react if she took such an unexpected move. Turning to look at him, she saw that he was invested in the movie.
'Sorry, babe.'
She took a deep breath. He had pulled up the armrest so they could cuddle. Despite being in the back row with a pretty empty theater, doing something in such a public setting could backfire. But she wanted to try this with him. Somehow everything she did with him worked out perfectly. Besides, she couldn't help but think that he deliberately chose these seats.
The intimacy of the darkened theater made her feel reckless and aroused. Her soft hair spilled over as she leaned her head against him. Hinata couldn't believe she was about to go through with this. But there she was, very proud of herself for having the courage to act so brazen. Then again Genma has a habit of making her feel very courageous.
Slowly, she reached over and grabbed the bucket of popcorn away from his lap. He glanced over and smiled before returning back to the screen. Hinata put it to her side, away from Genma. She reached over again and pressed her hand over his bulge.
'Don't get caught. Whatever you do, don't get caught.'
"Hinata?" he asked quietly.
Suddenly nervous, she was about to retract her hand when he groaned and kept her hand there. Quickly looking around, she saw no one turn back. 'Good.' This was the point of no return.
Getting his fly open, she pulled out his cock and began to slowly and steadily stroke him. Genma leaned back, obviously enjoying it and she grinned. "Let's be naughty so don't hold back," she whispered.
Everything about this was thrilling; she was giving Genma a handjob in a movie theater. She could sense his nervousness as he looked around and lightly moaned. To make him feel so jittery, a man who rarely let anything frazzle him, Hinata felt proud of herself. She would remember this for years to come and wanted it to be a memorable experience for him as well.
She focused on the task at hand, determined to make him come hard. He moved his hips upward to meet her downward stroke and signaled he was about to cum. She leaned close to him, whispering in his ear. "I'm going to suck it now, okay? Pat my head twice if you see someone looking."
Licking her lips, she got out of her seat and kneeled in front of him. Hinata stared at his erect cock, feeling the weight of his lustful gaze. 'Oh Genma, I want you so bad.' She rubbed her lips on it before popping the head into her mouth. As she gently sucked and stroked his cock, Genma started to breathe heavier.
'Oh shit,' he thought. She took it out of her mouth and slowly ran her tongue along the length of his cock. Upon feeling her tongue flick the underside of the head, Genma urgently pushed the back of her head and she opened her mouth. She lapped at his cock while he started to thrust; his panting increasing as she lightly hummed causing vibrations to stimulate his cock further.
Genma bit his bottom lip as he came and Hinata swallowed his cum, sitting back in her seat she licked the corner of her mouth clean and snuggled next to a happy Genma. "Thanks, Dollface," he murmured as she drank some of her water.
They watched for any indication that someone had seen but the loud action scene had captured their attention. Hinata felt Genma's hand lazily travel to the bottom of her skirt and she gasped. Looking at him she saw him smirk.
"My turn."
He kissed the side of her neck as his hand traced the inside of her thighs before finally reaching her pussy. He pulled her panties to the side and felt how wet she was when he stuck one finger in. His thumb circling around her clit, and added another finger. Hinata started to moan and he silenced her with a kiss. Genma pulled away to look down at everyone else and was relieved to see that they were still preoccupied with the movie; her lovely moan wasn't enough to distract the other movie-goers. He resumed making out with her while he stroked her spot faster. Hinata wiggled to feel him go deeper. Genma hissed when she felt him grip his cock again. It aroused him as he wanted nothing more than to take her right there.
Lost in the pleasure, Hinata didn't notice him practically lying on top of her. Genma sucked on her neck as his fingers went in and out of her. Their blissful actions soon were disrupted by the sound of someone dropping their drink. Genma quickly pulled away and saw the woman staring at them in shock.
'Fuck, fuck, fuck.'
The bright beach scene had lit up the theater and allowed the woman who was returning from the concession stand to get an eyeful of their activity. Briskly turning around, she quickly walked back down the steps and out of the theater.
"We have to go now," Genma frantically whispered as he stuffed his dick back in his pants.
Hinata grabbed her purse and followed him to the other exit. They waited around the corner for a few tense minutes until they saw the woman stomp back, this time followed by a teenage usher who looked unsure of what he would encounter. After they disappeared into the theater, Genma pulled Hinata along and rushed them out of the building.
Full of adrenaline, Hinata finally let herself breathe when they made it to the parking lot. But it was short lived as she was pressed against his car. "Genma-"
He smashed his lips against hers and grinded against her. "You're so bad, Hinata," he groaned in between. "And I want to punish you for your naughty behavior."
Gripping his locks, Hinata finally was able to speak. "Then do it." He looked around, eager to resume their passion. "At your place," she insisted.
On their way to his apartment, Genma told her she didn't have to buy him the movie when it came out. "To be honest, I don't think I'll be able to see it without getting hard. Besides, I heard the twist at the end was shitty."
x-x
Hinata hadn't heard from Sasuke after she had told him that she still wanted to be friends. It sounded so awkward but she couldn't give him anything more than that.
"No," he interrupted her. "I'm not going to just watch you be with another asshole just hoping you'd look at me again. Hinata, he can't give you anything I can. You'll never have to work again and I'll make you the happiest woman alive. Just...just give me a chance."
"I'm sorry. But Genma-"
"Fuck him! You finally escape Naruto's clutches and go running off with some low class motherfucker?! What, are you attracted to scum?"
His biting words had caused her to flinch but she was angry. "Don't insult Genma. He's not like Naruto at all. He understands me and doesn't try to possess me like you two try to do. It's not just about a physical attraction with him. If you never want to see me again, I understand. Goodbye, Sasuke."
She hung up and turned off her phone, deciding to change her number first thing tomorrow. With that conversation, she truly cut off all ties to Naruto. All their friends were really his, aside from Kiba but she didn't think she could face him again. The look of judgement or disappointment on his face would sting more than any rumor at work.
It was hard enough to deal with her father and the revelation that she had her own rendezvous on the side. Neji and Hanabi tried to gloss over the issue whenever she had dinner with them but Hiashi's persistent scowl showed how little effect they had.
"I don't care about him. You dishonored our name by doing it," he admitted. This had been the first time he was being honest with her. Hinata squirmed in her seat, suddenly feeling like a high school girl being lectured. "I thought it was humiliating to hear that my eldest was working a menial job but if word got out about your affair, well let's just say I think I wouldn't be able to show my face in public."
"It was never about you or the Hyuuga name, father," Hinata tersely replied. "I wanted to get out of a situation I had gotten into by myself. Perhaps now you'd feel some of the humiliation I felt when I was cut off and left school."
"You made that choice not me," he retorted. Hinata's eyes hardened and he sighed; reconciling with his daughter was proving to be difficult if he was going to behave like his usual cold self. "But I'll admit that I didn't help matters either and for that I'm sorry."
Everyone was stunned by his admission but Hinata slowly smiled and nodded. Hanabi grinned from ear to ear, while Neji relaxed in his seat.
"Are you seeing anyone now?" he asked. "I understand you're not with the Uchiha anymore, such a shame."
Hinata took a large gulp of her water and Hanabi shook her head. 'Such a rookie move, sister. You've gotten rusty.'
Picking up on her mistake, Hinata quickly put her glass down. "Hmm? What was that?"
"What's his name?" Hiashi asked, unamused. He wasn't happy to know that his daughter had found another man, his parental instincts in high alert already after seeing the kind of men she would give everything up for. Her judgement was reason for concern in his opinion.
"It's still new. I mean I knew him before my divorce. He's a good man who makes me laugh and feel wonderful," Hinata rambled. "We met at work. He's works hard. Everyone loves him-"
"His name?" Hiashi interrupted impatiently, wanting to see if he recognized his daughter's new beau. After investigating her workplace, he realized it was a very reputable place. He grimaced as he recalled hearing about Kakashi Hatake; according to his partners, the man had no tact when it came to reading lewd material in meetings.
"Genma Shiranui," Hinata answered.
Hiashi pondered on the name, drawing a blank. "Well, I look forward to meeting the young man."

While she had assured him that there was no rush to meet her father, Genma waved off her nervousness. "Babe, how bad can it be?" She grew quiet and he pulled her into his lap. "C'mon, are you worried he's not going to like me?"
Hinata wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm scared he's going to scare you off. I really want him to get along with you because I don't ever want to go so long without talking to him. I don't want to choose again."
"So you won't," he replied firmly. "I know you regretted choosing him over them and that's not going to happen again. We're gonna make this work, Hinata. Trust me."
Normally not one to care about appearance or first impressions, he knew how important this was for her, so Genma donned a crisp suit and tie, something he regretted as he adjusted his tie for the fourth time
As he waited with Hinata in the foyer, he made small chat with her cousin and sister. Genma was slightly put off by Neji's brisk attitude but understood that he was simply looking out for Hinata.
"Mr. Shiranui, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Hiashi Hyuuga."
All eyes turned to Hiashi who offered his hand and Genma firmly shook it. "Nice to meet you."
"Shall we go to the dining room, now?" Hanabi asked as she looked around.
Hinata patted his arm and the followed the Hyuuga patriarch. Genma now understood why Hiashi Hyuuga had such a reputation; he could clearly smell bullshit a mile away. Thinking honesty was the best policy Genma was upfront about everything that was asked.
"So you're a security guard?" Hiashi asked somewhat stunned. In his mind, at least the Uzumaki was trying to better his economic standing.
"Yeah, I worked my way up to the top and how I'm head of security," Genma said proudly as Hinata beamed at him. Neji and Hanabi watched the exchange with worry; they could tell from Hiashi's tone that he wasn't pleased with his vocation.
Hiashi merely hummed. "And you're how old?"
Genma smirked, knowing what he was getting at. "I'm eight years older than Hinata." Her father frowned and opened his mouth but Genma continued to speak. "But age doesn't really matter in our relationship. I met her at work and realized she was a wonderful person that I wanted to get to know better. She gets me and I'm grateful she's given me a chance to be with her."
Hinata placed her hand over his and he brought it to his lips and kissed it. Hanabi watched and sighed blissfully. After the fiasco with Naruto, all she wanted for her sister was happiness and someone who would value her like she deserved.
"And how do you feel about marriage?" Hiashi bluntly asked.
Hinata tensed, knowing about Genma's hesitation on the subject. While she wasn't in a rush to get married again, she didn't completely hate the idea. As a couple, they were mostly indifferent to it and she didn't want her father to pressure him.
"I think that if the time comes, I would honor her and respect the commitment I made to her," Genma carefully replied.
His answer was seemingly acceptable. Neji even smiled, seeing how smitten his cousin was with the man.
After dinner, Hiashi pulled Genma to the side and asked him to join him in his study. Genma sat across Hinata's father and watched with confusion as he opened his drawer. Pulling out his checkbook he glanced up at Genma. "How much?"
"Excuse me?"
Hiashi chuckled humorlessly. "How much will it take for you to leave Hinata for good? I can write any number on this check and it wouldn't dent my finances. Don't look so confused, I only want what's best for my children and after that bastard used her, well I'm not letting it happen again. You probably thought you could have an easy life if you got with my daughter and you can. If you walk out of her life after today, I guarantee it. At least this way you won't do as much damage as he did."
Outraged, Genma tightly gripped the armrest. 'Think of Hinata,' he chanted as he refrained from smacking the smug look on his face.
"So Mr. Shiranui, how much do you want?"
"You can take that pen and shove it up your ass," Genma growled. He was done with forced pleasantries. The entire night he felt scrutinized and had a sneaking suspicion that he hadn't won over her father like he had hoped. "There's not enough money in the world that can take her away from me. You can keep your fucking money. She works hard enough and so do I. We don't need your money."
Genma curtly got up. "I'm not going to tell her about the shit you just tried to pull because I don't want her to get her heart broken when she sees how much of an asshole you still are. She wants you to be in her life and I'm a part of it. So I hope we have a better conversation next week when we come back for dinner, Hiashi."
Impressed, Hiashi only scowled a little as Genma stormed out. He joined the rest and noticed Genma had removed his tie and was tightly embracing Hinata as Hanabi filled them in about her college experience so far.
"Hinata?" Hiashi asked. He motioned for her to accompany him to the garden. Before releasing her from his embrace, Genma kissed her forehead.
Looking at the cloudy sky, Hiashi exhaled deeply. "Why are you with him, Hinata? You can do so much better if you give yourself time to explore other options. He's older than I would've liked and his job security worries me. Don't jump into this relationship head first just because he's the first man who has caught your eye. You shouldn't settle down so quickly."
Hinata inwardly groaned. She stood next to him and rested her head against his arm; it had been so long since she felt comfortable with her father. "He's not the only one who has caught my attention, father. But I chose him because he loves me for me. Genma has been my friend, confidant, and cheerleader. He might not be what you hoped for, but he's more than I ever imagined."
Hiashi immediately noticed how different her answer was to when she defended Naruto and slowly smiled. "Do you love him?"
She was quiet. "I do but I'm scared."
He looked down at her and frowned.
"I'm still scared of the future and how things might change. If we break up, it won't be the end of the world but I don't think I could put myself out there again. I thought Naruto was the best I could do but Genma is on a different level. He's the only person that has given me courage and strength when I had no one else. Even Naruto never made me feel like this," she said.
Hiashi sighed. "It won't be like last time. Even if this man isn't the one, we'll still be here for you."
"Thank you."
"Besides, it seems like he's in it for the long run." He rubbed the back of his neck as he admitted what he had done. Hinata was angry but happy Genma had proved her father wrong. "He has my blessing for now. But if he tries to pull anything like that piece of shit did, he will regret it."
Hinata grinned and pulled him inside.
As they were leaving, Genma shook Hiashi's hand firmer than before. "It was nice to meet you, sir. I look forward to all the time we'll spend together."
"Likewise, Genma."
Over the next couple of months, Hiashi grew to accept the new man in Hinata's life. She smiled and laughed more, and was frequently joining them for meals. Sometimes she was alone and other times she brought Genma along. But both continuously turned down his offers to work for him which somewhat bothered Hiashi.
Things were looking good for the couple. Then Hinata got pregnant.
x-x
"Congratulations!" Hanabi shouted after they announced the news. She already knew since Hinata told her first but seeing her father's expression, she knew she had to express joy. "How far along are you?"
"Two months," Hinata replied.
Neji's eyes darted to his uncle before glancing up at Genma. Her cousin's boyfriend had a protective arm around a nervous Hinata.
Thankfully he was sitting down or else he would've stumbled into a nearby chair. "Yeah, congratulations."
"You..." Hiashi stammered. "You're not married yet."
"No, but we don't need-" Hinata said.
"Yes you do!" Hiashi erupted. He glared at Genma. "You will marry her as soon as possible."
"You don't decide anything, Hiashi," Genma replied.
"Father, please. Don't make me regret making up-"
Hiashi stood up. "There will be no further discussion unless it's wedding planning. You knocked up my daughter but don't have the decency-?"
"Shut up!"
Everyone turned to look at Hanabi who was fuming. "This is her life and you can't tell her what to do. Hinata is pregnant and she's in love. She's happy and if she gets married it will be their decision not yours. I won't let you scare her off like you did before. I didn't choose to have her cut out of my life, you both did that. Not me." Even Hinata flinched at her rant. "I missed having Hinata in my life and you two aren't going to do that to me again. She's pregnant and I'll be damned if I'm not going to be involved in their lives now."
Hanabi cleared her throat and pointed at Hiashi. "You will accept them. Hinata and I are going to talk about how much I'll spoil my niece or nephew while you talk to Genma as men. Shout and yell if you have to, but get it done and over with so we can move forward as a family."
"Damn straight," Genma said after a long silence. "We want you all involved but not if you're going to cause Hinata stress."
Hinata shakily nodded and Hanabi excitedly asked about what names they had picked out or when to plan a baby shower. As the two conversed, Neji followed Hiashi out of the living room. Genma turned to Hinata and sighed.
"I'll try," he reassured her.
She nodded and gently kissed him. "Thank you. I love you."
He smiled. "I love you too."
Genma grunted as he walked to Hiashi's study, already very familiar with the layout of the house and this room in particular. The air was thick with tension but Genma wasn't going to back down, especially when it related to Hinata and their child.
"I love her and I'm not asking for any financial help," Genma started. "I can take care of my family."
Hiashi finished rummaging through his liquor cabinet and chugged a shot before quickly refilling it.
"She's happy, uncle. We should support them now more than ever," Neji insisted. "This is the happiest I've ever seen her. Do you really want to go back to how things used to be?"
Hiashi stared at the glass in his hand. "If you hurt her, if you hurt her child, I'll kill you. I'll rip you to shred with my own hands."
"Okay," Genma said. "And the same applies to you, Hiashi. I won't let anyone hurt Hinata or my child. We will live our lives how we choose and will be happy to have you involved."
Neji poured two other glasses and handed one to Genma. "Cheers?"
The two continued to glare at each other as he quickly swallowed from his glass.
'At least they're trying.'
x-x
Genma walked beside Hinata as they left the doctor's office. She was due in a month but he didn't want to take any chances. He had argued with Hanabi about having the baby shower so late in her pregnancy but if there was one thing he learned about the youngest Hyuuga it was that she always got her way. They had a lavish celebration the week before but he couldn't enjoy himself and watched Hinata like a hawk.
Even though he was trying to listen to Kiba, his eyes continued to wander over to Hinata to make sure she was comfortable and happy. The other male took notice and laughed; Kiba knew how nervous he was when Tamaki was pregnant. With Airi in his arms, Kiba assured Genma that it was going to be okay.
It was a coincidence that they happened to have the same doctor and were stunned to run into each other. While Tamaki was ready to pop, Hinata was only three months along. She had immediately looked away, not sure how they'd react to her but they immediately enveloped Hinata in a hug. The only look of disappointment in Kiba's face was when he told her that they missed her at his wedding and Tamaki immediately agreed. Soon they fell back into step and resumed their friendship, with Kiba making sure to not bring up her failed marriage. Tamaki, in an attempt to repay her for helping plan Kiba's marriage proposal, had helped Hanabi get the baby shower ready.
"So what do you feel like doing now?" Hinata asked, breaking him from his thoughts. "And I'd like to remind you that I don't want to go home yet. I feel cooped up and want some fresh air."
He realized he was smothering her and felt bad. "Okay, okay. How about we get a treat? What are you in the mood for?"
She grinned at him and he groaned. "Again? Are you sure that's my kid?" Hinata raised an eyebrow. "I mean, no spawn of mine would like mint chocolate. Who else have you been with?"
Hinata shrugged. "Maybe he's Kakashi's…"
"Hey, that's not funny!" Genma replied. Kakashi was constantly joking with him about having another threesome to see if they could figure out the second baby's father without a DNA test. "It's bad enough hearing it from that old pervert. If he comes out with gray hair, I'm gonna kill Kakashi!"
She merely walked away and hummed happily.
"Hinata? Hinata!" Genma rushed after her. He wrapped his arms around her. "He's mine right?" Genma groaned in pain after she elbowed him. "Kidding!"
He nuzzled her neck and she giggled. "Of course he's yours, you dummy. Only your kid could be this rambunctious."
As they laughed and entered the ice cream shop, they didn't notice the haggard looking man from across the street stare at them in disbelief. Naruto blinked his eyes, not believing what he just saw. He had been focused solely on his work and was making progress with his boss after being so absent minded for the months leading up to the divorce. With a new mindset, he thought that he would be fine if he ever saw her again. Naruto didn't think he'd be so close to falling apart.
But seeing her so happy and pregnant broke his spirit. He recognized Genma from before but didn't think anything good would come out of it if he was to confront them now. Naruto felt weak and walked away.
The future he had envisioned and worked so hard for was impossible now. All because of his wandering eyes. Naruto hadn't heard anything from Sakura aside from another attempt to try and work together to break up Sasuke and Hinata. He didn't want to do anything with the wretched medical student but still had a flame of determination to change back to the person Hinata fell in love with.
With this latest development, Naruto knew he couldn't chase after her any longer.
Pulling out his phone, he sent a quick email accepting his boss' suggestion that he relocate to Suna to oversee their expansion there. Naruto had put it off for a week, still wondering if it was the best decision. A small part of him wondered if Hinata and he would cross paths and, against all odds, reconcile.
It was obvious it was not going to happen and he needed to let go of any hope. There was nothing for him here. The only closure in this revelation was that while she might not be his anymore, she wasn't Sasuke's either.

Hinata rejected Genma's initial marriage proposal, thinking it was the afterglow of Tadashi's birth that had spurred his sudden impulse. "Genma, you don't have to prove anything to me. I know you love me. I don't need a piece of paper or ring to show you're committed to me," she told him as she handed the infant to Genma's waiting arms.
"I know you don't but… I mean, maybe your dad's right," he grimaced. "For once."
She shook her head. "No. I've been married before and what we have is much stronger than when I was with Naruto. Trust, faith, and love are what we have. If you truly want to make it official, then I'll say yes but why don't you sit on it for a bit? I mean, I don't want you to feel forced to marry me."
Genma gently rocked his son to sleep and gazed over at her. As tired and sweaty as she looked, Hinata still took his breath away. "Dollface, I've been yours the moment you came into my life."
They smiled at each other and enjoyed the silence; the Hyuugas made more commotion than what Genma would've thought. Hiashi made sure Hinata's hospital room was up to par and kept pestering the hospital staff, while Hanabi had moments when she just burst into joyful tears. Only Neji remained relatively calm aside from the hollering sounds he made when they heard the baby's loud wails; a small hint of pink still lingered in his ears which Kiba snickered at while Tamaki held Airi who only looked on with curiosity as she introduced the baby. Hiashi was quite pleased to see just how much of a Hyuuga his grandson looked, with his brown hair and pale eyes.
They had more than they could imagine and relished in the love and support they had with each other and their loved ones. Hiashi in particular had become more affectionate and easy going, which Genma was glad for. After all, having a baby was a huge life changing event. So Genma pushed the idea to the back of his head.
For another year.

Genma watched as Hinata fed Tadashi. She was wearing one of his shirts, black shorts underneath and had her hair up in a messy bun. He chuckled as she made airplane noises as she brought the spoon to the boy's mouth and cheered when he chewed on the food.
"Genma?" Hinata asked as she cleaned the high chair tray from excess food. "Can you get him ready to go? I don't want to keep Tamaki waiting again."
He nodded and took him to his room where he got everything ready for the play date. When Hinata appeared, wearing a simple sun dress, he felt his heart race. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
The drive over to the park felt like forever and Hinata mumbled about not getting a response from Tamaki as they got out. A gazebo with gold colored balloons and surrounded by white roses caught her eye, and he pulled her along while holding Tadashi with his other hand.
She looked around when they were inside. "Genma? W-What's going on?"
He merely took out a small box, opened and placed it in their son's hand, guiding it towards her. "Will you marry me?"
Hinata's eyes widened and she shakily reached out only to jump when Kiba and Hanabi came out of the bushes prematurely.
"Congratulations!"
"I think I'm going to cry again!"
The rest of their family and friends walked over as Hinata started to cry. Genma didn't need to hear her answer, the kiss she gave him after he placed the ring in her hand said enough. He held on to his son and fiancée tighter as Hiashi signaled for the violinist to start playing her favorite love song.
x-x
Feeling Genma kissing her leg as his hands trailed up to retrieve the garter almost made her moan out loud. It would've been mortifying and she would've been angry at him for it but the hollers that erupted as he emerged from under her dress drowned out any noise she made. Hinata didn't dare look in her father's direction where he sat beside Neji and his date.
Tadashi was in his lap, messily eating from his plate and his once white shirt was now stained. The toddler looked a mess but Hiashi only chuckled as he tried to clean his mouth. He had happily accepted his role as grandfather and was now pestering Genma about another grandchild much to her embarrassment.
The reception was simple, a request of hers and Genma so her father settled for paying for their honeymoon with Tadashi tagging along. The couple couldn't spend that much time apart from their son, no matter how much Hanabi and Hiashi assured them that they could watch the toddler for them.
But they could tolerate it for one night.
"You looked so handsome in your suit, Mr. Shiranui," Hinata told him. He slowly took off the jacket and tie causing her to giggle at his strip tease.
"Let me help you get out of that dress, Mrs. Shiranui," he replied as he chucked his shirt to the ground.
She turned around and felt his breath on her neck as he slowly unzipped the back and gently moved the shoulder straps to the side. The dress loosely clung to her body and she shimmied the fabric down over her hips, grinding against him a bit before she stepped out.
"I waited for this moment for a long time," he groaned.
"What are you waiting for?" Hinata teasingly replied.
Immediately his eyes darkened and he unhooked the strapless bra, casting it aside. His eyes focused on the breasts he was very familiar with; still so intoxicating, soft and mouthwatering. Genma kissed her neck then cupped her breasts. They seemed to perfectly fit his rough hands and Hinata sighed as he squeezed them and played with her nipples.
With every moan that came out of her mouth, he became stiff and sucked on her neck. Her posture slacked when he stopped but she soon felt him move downward; lower and lower they went. Finally he tugged on her panties, pulling them over her curvaceous ass and they fell to the floor.
He stepped closer and massaged her tongue with his as she reached down to feel him through his pants. The thin layer still felt constricting and he pulled away to join her in the nude. With as many times as he's been with her, it still stunned him how innocent she could look and act with him. Her soft hands teased him making his erect cock come alive and touch her stomach.
"I can't wait, sorry."
He quickly bent down to hook his arms under her knees and lifted her off the ground. He carried her over to the bed where they could consummate their marriage. Kissing her lovingly, Genma trailed his hands over her curves. Opening his eyes, he was greeted with the sight of Hinata spread out for him looking flustered but eager.
He kissed her stomach, something he often did when she was pregnant. She shuddered when his kisses went lower and left a trail of goosebumps on her soft skin. Instinctively she spread her legs out even more.
"Fucking beautiful," he groaned as he reached her pussy. "So good."
She echoed his sediments when he kissed her outer lips, pleased to see that she was already wet for him. His tongue soon went to work; her taste addicting. With her juices flowing, Genma's tongue flicked over her clit and Hinata arched her back.
"Genma! Oh god, don't stop!"
Gently sucking on her clit, he rubbed her pussy before plunging a finger in. Hinata moaned and clutched the bedsheets, desperate for release. Another finger joined the frenzy and Hinata was chanting Genma's praises much to his pleasure.
Hinata loudly moaned and he greedily lapped up the aftermath of her orgasm, prolonging her pleasure. She rubbed his scalp and he looked up. There she was, nude, flustered and pussy glistening; Genma thought he had never seen such a perfect woman and was grateful she had chosen him.
He crawled on upward, feeling her breasts and hard nipples on his chiseled chest, which sent a shiver down his spine.
"I love you, Genma," she softly whispered in his ear.
"I love you too," he replied. 'God, I love you so much.'
With a smile to match hers, he realized that everything about them seemed right, as if they were meant to be. After all, how else could make him rein in his old ways and commit to one person? Genma couldn't imagine another woman in her place and didn't think anyone else was worthy to take his.
He kissed her to silence the loud shout when he thrust in. Hinata clawed at his back as he filled her. She hadn't forgotten how big he was and looked forward to it after choosing to be celibate until the wedding night. But it still took her breath away at how wonderful he felt.
Genma, sensing her brief uncomfortableness stilled but she wiggled her hips to guide him deeper, rewarding him with pleasure as she tightened around him. He slightly pulled out and thrust back in, going faster each time until they became frenzied. Her breasts bounced, mesmerizing him as he gripped her hips tighter, not holding anything back now.
He felt himself throb and swell inside of Hinata but tried to hold it in until she came too. Pulling her up, she was now straddling him. Hinata wrapped her arms around him as he bounced her on his lap. "Fuck! Fuck!"
Soon she was contracting on his cock, milking his cock, and screaming out in pleasure. He soon followed; exploding inside his wife and filling her up with hot essence. The ecstasy was incredible. The sound of their heavy breathing was the only noise until Hinata sighed.
"So how's married sex?" Hinata asked as she lightly ran her fingers through his hair.
He grins. "Fucking amazing, but everything I do with you is amazing." Genma felt himself get hard again as Hinata rolled her hips before getting up.
She got on all fours in front of him and looked back. "Do you think anal will feel just as amazing?"
Immediately he felt his cock twitch and he groaned in lewd appreciation and arousal at the sight before him. He rubbed her ass cheeks and extended his tongue to probe the tip into her, working to warm her up and used his fingers to stretch her out. Hinata moaned and buried her head into the pillow in front of her.
Satisfied he kneeled behind her and lined up the swollen head of his cock with her ass; slightly pressing the tip of his cock. He grasped hold of her right hip and she slowly pushed backwards, filling her ass with his cock. They both groaned together as his cock started to slip inside her tightest, most intimate hole.
He was half- way in but waited until she was ready to move any further.
"Fuck me hard, Genma," she panted, giving him the go ahead.
He answered by grabbing hold of both of her hips and began to thrust, getting deeper and deeper into her with each stroke, filling her from behind as she frantically rubbed her clit. Genma was fully inside her, the curve of her ass now pressed against him. He fucked her with long, slow strokes in a steady rhythm and slapped her ass causing her to gasp.
"Do it again," she moaned.
He slapped her ass again and he felt her anus start to contract around his cock. Genma grinned lecherously as slapped her ass every now and then. He felt her orgasm approach and picked up the pace.
"Oh god!" She gasped. "Oh fuck, you're so good!"
Neither could hold out any longer as with one final thrust, he came and filled her with his cum. Hinata screamed with pleasure as he continued to bury his cock deep in her until he was spent. If they hadn't had such a long day, they might've gone another round but both were satisfied.
After recovering, Hinata pulled Genma into the bathroom where they showered together. Finally clean and with their needs fulfilled, they crawled into bed. Genma kept a firm hold on Hinata as they slept, his left hand covering hers. The matching rings merely a symbol of the love they shared and the commitments they would uphold for the rest of their lives.
This chapter just kept growing and I just wanted to make it such a feel good chapter for the couple that was universally loved and cheered for. Hope I gave you what you wanted and more! I just realized I named the chapter where I introduced Genma as Work Husband. Was that a hint of things to come? Nope, it just worked out that way!
I went back and forth and decided to focus on the pair for which the chapter is dedicated to, with updates only on relevant people associated with them. Kiba was the only exception because I wanted him to be included here as well as the Sasuhina chapter. Therefore Naruto will be mentioned in all in some capacity. I'm not killing him off tho, I ain't that dark. But Sakura will only be talked about in the Sasuhina chapter; I really dgaf about her enough to come up with different ideas for how shitty her life went for every ending. The fallout of Ino's wedding will be talked about in the Sasuhina chapter and the Single Hinata chapter.
Lol. I knew it! I fucking knew it! The troll returned for the last chapter. She just couldn't help herself. Omg, I'm dying of laughter because it had the exact response I expected from her! She went completely apeshit! It was wonderful and I have a feeling I touched a little too close to home because I never saw her reply like that on the other stories she flames. I love it and might have to post the response on my Tumblr if I can find it! I hope to add Sakura suffering in the SasuHina chapter (coming up next) just for the self- insert troll. So feel free to give me ideas and I'll see if we can stitch something amazing!
