Rookies: Konoha University Brunch is life, a naruto fanfic

Hope you enjoy, This chapter will be fluffy-ish. Emphasis on Ish.

As the semester went on, Sasuke made it a ritual for him and Hinata to go out for dinner after Hatake's class every week. The others had their suspicions but Sasuke waved it off. Sasuke learned many things about Hinata as they got to know each other. He learned that Hinata loved to cook and write and she had a soft spot, or at least more of an obsession with sweets. Especially cinnamon buns. He also learned to NOT try and come between her and her cinnamon buns. Never.

As Sasuke laid on his bed he smirked to himself happy with the progress he's made with the Hyuuga. He would've went in for the kill already but He didn't want to scare her or rush her. Especially after finding out the guy you were in love with for years is dating one of your best friends. Although Hinata and him have grown closer over the last couple of weeks, Hinata seems to be only interested in a platonic relationship. He would have to find a way to change her mindset on him. He didn't want to ask anyone for advice, because then he'd have to admit he was having trouble getting a girl and his pride wouldn't allow it. So for the meanwhile, he'd just wing it until she showed some sort of Interest in him.

Groaning, Sasuke got up and headed towards his en-suite bathroom to prepare for the day.

Hinata woke up early and decided to surprise her friends with brunch. Even though she was gone for two years they accepted her back in without missing a beat and treated her as if she never even left. Especially Sasuke. Sasuke was always sort of to himself most of the time, but he was different when he was with her. She could probably even think of him as a best friend at this point. She smiled to herself and began prepping to cook.

It was Saturday so she knew most of them wouldn't get up until 10. She didn't know if she should make waffles or pancakes, so she made both. She made fried some bacon and eggs and sausages and even some fish. She kept it all in the food warmer and began to prepare some rice and a pot of miso soup. As the soup and rice cooked she entered the fridge and pulled out some fruits to cut up into a fruit salad. She had to keep the options open, after all she was cooking for twelve.

Coming out the Shower, Sasuke began to pull his shirt over his head when a delicious smell hit his nose. He quickly dressed and headed downstairs to find the source of the heavenly smell of food. He stopped at the kitchen entry way at the sigh before him. There was food of all kinds laid out on the table and his mouth instantly watered. He looked up and let a smirk escape at the sight of Hinata in front of the sink washing dishes. She wore a frilly purple apron and she swayed softly as she hummed while she cleaned. Sasuke had to stop himself from wrapping his arms around her and swaying with her as he kissed her softly.

"Sasuke?" Hinata asked.

Sasuke pulled himself out of his thoughts and gave Hinata a small smile.

"Good Morning Hime." Sasuke said.

Hinata blushed. "I told you not to call me that!"

Sasuke shrugged.

"So what's all this for? This looks amazing!" Sasuke said.

"I wanted to surprise everyone! You guys have welcomed me go wonderfully and treated me like I never even left. I just wanted to show my gratitude." Hinata answered.

"It's called Friendship Hime, it's not something you pay back." Sasuke responded as he stole a piece of bacon.

"I mean, I guess but I just wanted to do something nice for everybody!" Hinata said.

"I guess that's fine."Sasuke said as he tried to take another piece but Hinata swatted his hand away.

"Especially you! With how you've been so great to me...I consider you my best friend." Hinata said biting her lip.

An unpleasant feeling pooled in the pit of Sasuke's stomach. Not only was he in the friend zone, but he was a Best friend. While he was flattered, it was one step away of being considered a "brother to her" and that would not fly. He was ripped out of his thought was he felt something warm press against him. Hinata had hugged him.

Shaking himself out of his stupor, he slowly wrapped his arms back around her. It took all his willpower to not push her against the counter top and start kissing her senselessly. Her skin was so soft and she smelled of lavender and vanilla. Why couldn't she understand what she was doing to him? At this point he knew he had more than a crush on her. But he couldn't say the "L" word just yet.

"What smells so good?" a gruff voice said.

They quickly released each other as Kiba followed by Chouji walked into the kitchen.

"Woah Hinata did you do this?" Couji asked with stars in his eyes.

Hinata nodded shyly.

Soon enough everyone came down and they began eating.

"Hinata thisf ig delihgous!" Naruto said with a mouthful of food.

Hinata giggled and blushed.

"Thank you Naruto-kun." Hinata replied.

Everyone ate happily. Ino made some homemade mimosas for everyone to "complement" the brunch.

"Aw man It's really great when we're together like this reminds me of old times back in high school! Let our youthfulness never waver!" Lee exclaimed.

"What he said! Hey remember that time we found all those pictures of Ino back in her pageant days and posted them all over the school as a prank!" Naruto said.

"Oh yeah! And she had that crazy hairstyle?! She looked like a 1970s tv wife!" Kiba asid howling with laughter.

"That was you?!" Ino said angrily.

Naruto and Kiba suddenly stopped laughing as they realized they just ratted themselves out. It was too late to escape before Ino punched the both of them in their heads.

"Idiots." Shikamaru said.

"Hey remember that time we all got really bad tans the summer before senior year?" Tenten asked.

Everyone shuddered

Sakura came to school one day with a gorgeous tan and convinced every one else to. There was a mishap and long story short everyone was as orange as Naruto's favorite jacket for a month.

Everyone laughed at the memory.

"Remember when we got arrested for breaking into Principal Tsunade's house on a dare?" Chouji piped in.

It was a game of truth and dare gone horribly wrong. Naruto was the unluckly person to recieve the dare and was trapped in a closet because Tsunade came home early and his Godfather, Jiraiya who was a good friend of Tsunade happened to be there too. He couldn't get out without getting caught so the other's attempted to arrest them. Long story short they were all arrested but were bailed out by Jiraiya.

"Oh I got one! Remember that time Sasuke dated that girl sophomore year here and it turned out she was a lesbian?!" Kiba asked.

The entire tabled howled with laughter and Sasuke's eye twitched.

"Oh man that was such a blow to the ego!" Ino said.

Hinata giggled softly.

"Oh yeah, that was hilarious! The girl cheated on Sasuke so Sasuke dated another girl as revenge and it turned out the two were lovers.!" Naruto exclaimed.

Sasuke turned to Hinata who looked mortified.

Sasuke turned away and crossed his arms.

"Tch, I still fucked though." Sasuke muttered.

The table grew quiet.

Sasuke silently cursed to himself.

"The both of them?" Neji asked.

"At the same time." Sasuke said, trying to regain some of his pride.

The was a beat of silence before Naruto and Kiba whooped and high-fived each other.

"Sasuke you are the GOAT!" Kiba yelled.

"I didn't think you could come back from that but I think you just did." Naruto said.

The other girls looked mortified and Shikamaru and Neji tried to supress their smirks.

Chouji kept eating and Shino remained impassive.

"What do you mean by goat?" Lee asked.

His question went unanswered.

Sasuke rolled his eyes at the antics. He peeked at Hinata out the corner of his eyes and noticed she looked uncomfortable.

"Sasuke you whore!" Ino yelled.

"How does that make me a whore? And it was only once I haven't been with anyone since." Sasuke said looking offended.

"Really what about that brunette or that blue haired girl that looked just like Hinata?" Naruto asked.

"Please do not mention my cousins name." Neji said pinching the bridge of his nose.

Hinata blushed like crazy and Sakura and Ino wiggled their eyebrows at each other.

"I didn't have sex with any of them, only a few dates." Sasuke said walking over to Naruto and grabbing him by the neck.

"Stop airing out my fucking business dumbass." Sasuke said before slamming Naruto's face into the plate of fish and calmly returning to his seat.

Sasuke crossed his arms once again with a frown on his face.

"Sasuke's promiscuity aside, we had alot of great time in high school and our first two years here at KU. Everyday was like a movie." Tenten said.

"Oh how great it is to reminisce about the our golden times! " Lee cried.

Golden times...

Cogs began whirring in Sasuke's head at the phrase as an idea popped in his head. He got up and left and went to his room.

"Uh oh Looks like Sasuke's mad." Kiba snickered.

Hinata looked at Sasuke's retreating form worriedly. She would go talk to him once she finished cleaning up.

As Sasuke wrote vigorously into a red notebook he suddenly heard a soft knock on the door.

He sucked his teeth and opened the door to come face to face with Hinata.

"Are you ok?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." Sasuke said motioning for her to enter his room.

Hinata had never been in his room before but it was very clean. She came in slowly and Sasuke closed the door behind them. His heart thumping erratically.

"Are you mad?" Hinata asked.

"No. But you probably think I'm some sort of man whore." Sasuke responded with a chuckle.

"I don't think so. And whatever happened is in the past now." Hinata said with a small smile.

"You are too nice for your own good." Sasuke said, eliciting a giggle from the Hyuga female.

"Are you writing?" Hinata asked pointing to his notebook.

"Yeah, I got an idea for a song, so I came to write them that's why I left. I have to get them down right away as it comes to me." Sasuke said.

"Can I read it?" Hinata asked.

"Nope. no one reads or hears my songs until they are complete." Sasuke said.

"Pleaseee!" Hinata said with a pout on her face.

"I don't care how cute you are my word is law." Sasuke said turning his face away from Hinata's bubble eyes.

"Can I at least hear one of your songs?" Hinata asked.

Sasuke looked back at Hinata who continued to pout and use her bubble eyes.

"Ugh, fine, I'll play one song for you." Sasuke said.

"Yay!" Hinata said.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. Hinata was too cute for her own good.

"But not here." Sasuke said.

Hinata looked at him quizically and then let out a squeak when he grabbed her arm and led her out the room. Then turned down the hall and down three flights of stairs into a large room full of instrument and recording equipment.

"This is where we practice. It's sound proofed so we don't bother any one. " Sasuke explained and watched Hinata look at everything in awe and curiosity.

Sasuke opened a laptop and set up the instrumental and a microphone.

Hinata clapped her hands gleefully.

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"When I give you the thumbs- up press the space bar to start the music. I can't believe I'm about to do this." Sasuke said as he adjusted the microphone stand.

He stood behind the mic and took a deep breath. He gave Hinata the thumbs up and then he began singing.

Do I look lonely?
I see the shadows on my face

Hinata's eyes widened as Sasuke's began to sing.

People have told me I don't look the same
Maybe I lost weight
I'm playing hooky with the best of the best
Put my heart on my chest so that you can see it, too
I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall
The lace in your dress tingles my neck, how do I live?

Sasuke closed his eyes as he let the music take over him.

The death of a bachelor
Oh oh
Letting the water fall
The death of a bachelor
Oh oh
Seems so fitting for
Happily ever after (woo)
How could I ask for more?
A lifetime of laughter
At the expense of the death of a bachelor

A huge smile grew on Hinata's face. Sasuke's voice was so velvety and smooth, like he belonged on broadway. It was so perfect. She was so entranced she didn't notice Naruto enter the room.

He heard the singing and came in and was shocked to see Sasuke singing.

I'm cutting my mind off
Feels like my heart is going to burst
Alone at a table for two and I just wanna be served
And when you think of me am I the best you've ever had?
Share one more drink with me, smile even though you're sad
I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall
The lace in your dress tingles my neck, how do I live?

The music stopped and Sasuke finally opened his eyes.

Hinata clapped enthusiastically.

"Sasuke that was absolutely-

"FUCKING AMAZING!" Naruto finished.

Sasuke and Hinata both whipped their heads around to see Naruto there in a thumbs up pose.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked agitated.

"I was looking for you then I heard the singing. I knew you had a voice but Sasuke you're great why don't you sing too?" Naruto asked.

"Because you're the better showman." Sasuke said.

"Well you're the better singer!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Stop you're making me blush." Sasuke said giving Naruto a playful punch on the arm.

"Come on, you have to sing at the Winter storm this year!" Naruto whined.

"I'll think about it." Sasuke said as he put the equiment away.

Hinata clapped gleefully and Naruto cheered and ran to share the good news.

"So what did you think about the song?" Sasuke asked.

"It was beautiful, it also sounded very personal. Was it about someone?" Hinata asked.

"Yes." Sasuke answered honestly.

"Does this person know how you feel?" Hinata inquired.

"Not even a clue."

"You have to sing to her and let her know how you feel before it's too late!" Hinata said.

"I already did, she still doesn't get it though." Sasuke said as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and proceeded to walk out the room.

Hinata quickly followed after him. She felt a pang of sympathy for Sasuke, after all she waited too long and now Naruto was with someone else. Despite his coughwhorecough days, he deserves a chance a love. Hinata decided that she would help Sasuke confess to his girl.

"So do I know this girl?" Hinata asked walking alongside him.

She followed him to the kitchen where he grabbed two beers out the fridge and then out into the backyard. He sat down on one of the lounge chairs and handed the other beer to Hinata.

"You might." He answered.

"What's she like?"

"She has the kindest heart in the world. She's beautiful and loves sweets. We were never close but I'm trying to get to know her better in hopes that maybe she may fall for me too." Sasuke admitted.

"She sounds like a great girl. And as your best friend I'll help you woo her!" Hinata exclaimed.

Sasuke snorted and took a sip of his beer.

"What?"

"Nothing." Sasuke answered shaking his head. Hinata had no clue what she was getting herself into.

"Can you tell me her name?" Hinata asked.

"Nope."

"How am I supposed to help you if I don't know who she is?" Hinata said.

"Figure it out. I'll give you a hint, she went to our high school." Sasuke said, standing up and walking back inside leaving a dumbfounded Hinata.

Sasuke spent the rest of the weekend holed in his room writing. Hinata tried wracking her brain to figure out who the mystery girl was, she sounded familiar but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Sasuke on the other hand was pleased with the turn of events. He smirked to himself. He thought the dobe was oblivious but it seems someone else just beat his high score. He was probably a coward for just not going for it but this seemed more fun.

He just hoped she figured it out soon, and that no one else come along the way.

MONDAY

Hinata hurried through the halls late for her next class, as she turned a corner she ran into something and let out a shriek as they both tumbled to the floor.

"Oww.." Hinata said as she rubbed her head. A tanned hand appeared in front of her and she took it.

After being helped up she dusted off her clothes and then suddenly bowed her head.

"I am so so sorry! I hope you aren't hurt!" Hinata cried.

"Hey, relax, it was an accident. I'm fine. It'll take alot more than a beautiful girl to take me down." He said.

Hinata finally looked up at him her cheeks blazing. He had red hair and eyes the color of jade.

"I'm Gaara Sabaku, I haven't seen you around before are you new?" He asked.

Hinata nodded. "I just transferred here this semester. My name is Hinata Hyuuga." She said.

"Ah so you're Neji's cousin. Are you in a hurry?" Gaara asked.

"Kind of. I'm late for class." Hinata said.

"Oh then let me not hold you any further. But if you're not busy later, do you think you could have dinner with me?" Gaara asked.

Hinata blushed as red as Gaara hair. He was very straightforward. Sasuke should take notes.

"Um, sure, it'll be my treat since I bumped into you." Hinata offered.

"If you want. Meet me out in the quad around 6 ok?" Gaara said.

"Ok. I have to go now, Its was nice meeting you!" Hinata said before running off.

Her heart was racing but she knew it wasn't from running.

Gaara let a smile escape. What luck to run into someone so beautiful. He decided why not just go for it. He just hoped she wasn't crazy or that she didn't already have a boyfriend.

OK Guys hoped you liked it! Please review!
