Chapter VI: First Night
The cold breeze of night seeps through inside the carriage that was running on a moderate pace, Sasuke sighed looking at his sleeping wife thinking if he did the right thing marrying her when she can still love another and marry for love. Hinata may not have the exotic beauty but she had the classic beauty a black hair with the shade of lavender that also smells like lavender and opal eyes that possesses byakugan a definite plus to her already present advantages but it was her silence and kindness that Sasuke liked.
Hinata slowly opened her eyes with Sasuke's cologne invading her sense of smell and his obsidian eyes looking through her already open opal eyes noticing the glint in it she never saw before. She felt her cheeks warming up at their position with her head resting at his shoulder blinking and moved as far from him as possible.
"Um…sorry if I…slept at your shoulder…did you feel uncomfortable?" Hinata asked twiddling her fingers feeling nervous.
"No."
"Are we going to your apartment?" She asked trying to make a conversation.
"No we are staying at the inn tonight."
After a few more minutes of silence their carriage stopped when they reached their destination Sasuke went out first not bothering to offer his hand to Hinata for he picked her bag and slung it over his shoulder, she followed after him walking closely behind. They were greeted by a staff of the inn as they reached inside and led them to their room asking them if they would like to eat or drink something which they both declined.
Upon opening their room it was about the size of 3 ordinary rooms with a couch big enough to accommodate guests, enormous bed, dining area, television set, closet for clothes, and a bathroom with a hot and cold shower and a mini hot spring for two. The curtains were of light color and the sheets were dark blue while the couch was black. Locking the door behind Sasuke placed Hinata's bag at the bed while Hinata sat at the couch not bothering to look at him.
He sat beside her and held her chin, "Does my presence always bother you that you only talk and look at me when necessary?
She wondered why he asked that to her and his close distance to makes her blush making it difficult for her to answer, "Ano Sasuke san…maybe it's because…"
"Because what Hinata san? As far as I am concerned every girl in konoha fawns over me except you why?"
Sasuke felt stupid asking her a stupid question but he wanted to know the answer .
"Because Naruto kun is the one I like and the only person I will love that's why I… never bothered to look at anyone including you when I first saw him." She answered honestly.
Sasuke immediately left and went to the closet to get his change of clothes and entered the bathroom upon getting Hinata's answer. While Hinata released a breath she had been holding since Sasuke held her chin, upon looking at him at such close proximity she can't help but notice that he was indeed handsome but quickly ignored it for it will only be Naruto who is handsome for her.
He let the cold water from the shower run through his tired body thinking about Hinata's words, Naruto kun is the one I like and the only person I will love that's why I… never bothered to look at anyone including you when I first saw him punching the wall saying, "How can you blindly love that dobe?"
When he was done taking a bath he wore white t-shirt and black boxers and his usual duck tail hair falling just bellow his neck for it was still wet and ignored Hinata's gaze going to the bed immediately. Hinata also took a shower and wore a plain white yukata her servants packed for her and went to the bed to get a pillow when the gruff voice of Sasuke startled her.
"What do you think you're doing wife?" He asked putting emphasis on the word wife opening the bedside lamp beside him.
"Ano…Sasuke san since you are sleeping on the bed I…will be sleeping at the couch."
He sat up on the bed looking at Hinata, "Hinata we are legally married and as husband and wife we should be sleeping on the same bed."
"But-"
"Don't worry Hinata san I will not do anything funny because you are not my type." He said coldly before closing the lamp.
Hinata fought back tears from falling and hurriedly lay on her side of the bed feeling hurt not because he was not his type but his words only meant that Sasuke wasn't concerned for her but only married her for his own personal gain.
Sasuke saw the hurt in Hinata's eyes thanks to his selfish attitude, he didn't mean what he said but when Hinata said she will only love Naruto dobe it angered him. For no matter how hard they work together for their marriage Hinata won't fall for him even if he already starts to see Hinata differently.
