Chapter Nineteen: Tears

Sasuke couldn't remember the last time he'd cried. He tried to convince himself that the moisture slipping down his face wasn't him crying. His eyes were just irritated.

Hinata suddenly laughed, a bright sound that startled him with the unexpectedness of it. She reached up and wiped his tears away, and let her hand rest on his cheek for a moment. He looked quickly away and dropped her hand.

She sighed and gently turned his face back towards her, while reclaiming his hand with her own, and looked at him mock sternly, "Not all tears are an evil Sasuke."
