Chapter 5: Nothing
.
Prompt: Hinata breaks up with Sasuke.
.
.
Onyx eyes scanned the dimly lit bar slowly, taking in every sight around him. His vision caught the couple a few feet away from him. The woman had a large grin plastered on her face and the man's back was poised upright.
It pissed him off.
A large hand hit his back. "Sasuke, after a few of these you won't even remember who Hinata is!" exclaimed Naruto.
Kiba scoffed taking his beer from the blond and said, "Sheesh, dobe! You don't have to say her name!"
Azure eyes widened before grinning at his brooding friend. "You'll fall in love again! You'll be better off this way!"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed at the foolishness that continued to spill from his mouth. He grabbed the dark liquid not caring about the burning he was giving his chest. "Who?" he humored the men.
Naruto grinned and slid the next drink. He lifted the cold glass to his lips and couldn't get the taste of her lips off his.
.
"If… If I call her," he slurred while gripping Naruto's wrist. "If I call…her… She'll realize…"
Kiba and Naruto exchanged weary looks as the normally reserved man grabbed his phone. "Sasuke! Put the phone down!" shouted Naruto.
"No!"
"Yes, man. You can't call her like this."
"She loves me," repeated Sasuke for the forty-seventh time. "She has to…"
Kiba shook his head. "Calling is going to make it worst. Don't call."
He gripped his ebony locks in frustration. They didn't get it. They didn't know her like he does. "I'm calling her…" He took the offered phone from Naruto.
"Naru-"
The blond sighed and finished his drink. "Let him."
"What? Naruto…"
Naruto watched his drunken friend dial the number slowly as if he wasn't sure himself. "Look at him," muttered Naruto. "He's…bad."
He smirked at the sound of her voice. It was always so soft, maybe more because it was late at night but goodness it sounded heavenly. "Hinata," said Sasuke.
"S-Sasuke?" came her reply.
"Hinata. I… I still love you," whispered Sasuke. He closed his eyes waiting to hear her promise. He waited for something, anything. He pulled back the phone to see she had hung up.
Naruto rubbed his shoulder. "What did she say?"
He rested his head on the bar, clutching another drink. "Nothing."
Kiba pried the drink from him. "You need to sleep." They paid the bill and carried their friend out.
He shoved them off and stumbled a bit. "No… No, you don't - get it!" He shouted. Both men watched his facade shatter onto the ground. "I need her!"
"You fucked up!" Kiba snapped. "You did."
Sasuke looked at Naruto. He would help him. They were friends. He knew how he felt. He did. "Help - me," mumbled Sasuke.
Naruto grabbed his forearm. "Kiba, I'll meet you later."
"You can't be serious, Naruto."
There was a struggled smile on the blond's lips. "When has Sasuke ever asked for help?"
Kiba groaned and started to walk in the opposite direction.
.
Naruto held the drunken man by the waist. "Are you sure about this?"
"I'll… I'll make her see," he slurred. "She can't do this…" Foggy onyx eyes looked into azure ones. "Not…not to us. She'll listen this time."
Naruto just listened to him ramble and hoped he passed out before they got there. Of course, he was wrong and Sasuke was more determined than anything.
He used the gate to hold himself up. "Hinata!" He shouted. Naruto bit his thumb nervously, praying nobody called the cops. "Hinata!"
He almost fell walking on the porch then began to ring the doorbell. He stood there until the door opened revealing a drowsy, yet upset Hinata.
Her eyes widened at the man in front. He gripped the doorframe. "L-Listen to me," said Sasuke. "I'm sorry."
Opal eyes looked past him to the blond then back at him. He reeked over hard liquor and smoke. Her hand gripped the door knob as he stepped forward. "I'm sorry." he told her.
She couldn't form words. The strong man she knew and once loved was nothing but a drunken fool standing on her front porch. "Say something," his eyes softened. "Anything. Hinata, please."
Tears brimmed her eyes and tightened her grip on the knob. His body was trembling but he didn't know from emotion or the cold wind. "Hinata…" He went to step forward but her hand extended to his chest to stop him.
He looked down at the hand and noticed the ring was gone. She noticed this and pulled away. "You…" He squeezed his eyes closed. "I am still in love with you," confessed Sasuke.
He heard a click and opened his eyes to the closed door. He lifted his fist to knock but stopped. He turned and walked down the steps.
Naruto rubbed his back. "What did she say?"
He shook his head before sitting down on the pavement. "She didn't say anything… She…"
Naruto sat beside him because that's what best friends do. That's what Sasuke did for him and that's what he'd do for Sasuke. "It'll work out."
"I've got nothing," he clutched his head trying to suppress every wrong thing, every mistake he has made to her but it was to no avail. He deserved exactly what she said.
"She said nothing."
