Delusions
She rubbed her eyes with her fists to ensure that what she was seeing was real. She was tired but not so much that she was delusional right? There was no way Uchiha Sasuke would appear on her doorstep so early in the morning!
"Where is Naruto?" a deep voice tinged with irritation asked.
Hinata stopped rubbing her eyes and frowned. This was no illusion. She looked up at Sasuke, clutching her lavender bathrobe closed to defend against the morning chill. What could he possibly want with Naruto at this hour? He wasn't even here in the first place. She'd stayed up all night waiting with nothing to show for it. His absence was beginning to worry her. He'd never been gone for this long before.
"I…I'm sorry Uchiha-san." Hinata said. "Naruto-kun isn't here right now."
She watched as the Uchiha frowned, his brows drawing together. Whatever he wanted Naruto for had to be important. With her free hand, she pushed some of her hair behind her ear before opening the door wider.
"If want…you could wait for him here. He'll be back soon."
At least that's what she hoped.
Sasuke's brow relaxed at her offer but didn't respond either way. She watched as he silently weighed his options in his head. She didn't know him very well despite he and Naruto being close. He wasn't a man that cared for the company of others so her offer probably made him uncomfortable. Was she being too forward? He probably didn't want to be near her after how rude she'd been last night…
"Could…could you please smoke elsewhere?"
Hinata blushed as she recalled how she'd shooed him away. No wonder he was taking so long to respond! She opened her mouth to apologize for her previous behavior but Sasuke took a step towards her.
"I'll wait."
