Late Night Shots
Chapter 17: Drunken Eyes
::
"I always wanted to see a place with two moons, perfectly distanced from the other. I wanted them to glow but only give off a soft light because the sun burns my eyes."
Sasuke was drunk. Hinata was a simple victim.
He raised his hands to the night's sky as if he could touch the stars. "I don't like bright things," he told her. "My eyes are more sensitive now."
Mangekyo, she figured.
"Naruto and Sakura are too bright." Sasuke sighed and placed his arms over his eyes.
Hinata glanced over. "Ino-Chan?"
"Bright."
"Kiba-kun?"
"Loud," he paused and added. "Smelly too."
Hinata giggled at the intoxicated Uchiha. "Shino-kun?"
"Creepy," he muttered.
"Is that why you're with me? I'm e-easy on your eyes?"
He was quiet for a long time and she thought he had fallen asleep out in the middle of the forest. "Mm," he finally spoke. "You're soothing."
"Soothing?" She repeated, voice laced in confusion.
He nodded, chest heaved, and one hicccup. "Soft. Calming. Like a winter's morning even though your name means sunny place, ne?"
She gave a goofy smile. "Oi..." Sasuke turned into a poet when he's drunk.
"I want to move to The Land of Snow. I hear its beautiful around this time of year."
Hinata smile wavered. Sasuke moving? Who would entertain her when they got drunk? "W-why don't you?" She looked over at the Uchiha.
To her surprise, he was staring back at her. If she hadn't witnessed him drinking then she would assume Sasuke was sober. "Because my two moons are with you." He stated. "I'd follow them anywhere."
She blinked at him before understanding he was talking about her eyes. "Sasuke..."
"If I can't watch my two moons then what's the point?" He asked.
Hinata just shrugged. He nodded, chest heaved, and one hiccup.
Sasuke was drunk. Hinata was just a victim.
