Okay
She thought that things would be awkward between them. Waking up the way they had was enough to make her want to crawl into the deepest, darkest hole possible. Yet…when Sasuke showed up on her doorstep two days later it was as if it had never happened.
Her secrets stayed safe with him.
Weeks flew by. Breakfast shifted to lunch some days when she needed help around the house. Sasuke was surprisingly handy to have around. She never had to ask for his help either. He noticed when anything in the house was out of place. When the living room light was out, by lunch he appeared with a box of lightbulbs. When her small garden was ready for the end of summer harvest, he silently worked through the morning and afternoon until everything was gathered and the soil tilled.
Most days their breakfasts had to be quick. Low-rank missions were picking up around the village to the point that even assistance from the infamous Uchiha was welcome. On the days he had missions she'd started to pack him a lunch to take with him. He never said 'thank you' but the bento box always returned clean the following morning.
It wasn't much but she appreciated the routine that Sasuke provided. She wasn't happy but for the first time in months, she felt…okay. Okay was good. Hinata smiled as she closed the day's bento for Sasuke and placed it in the fridge. She'd made sure to put in extra cherry tomatoes from her garden that the Uchiha seemed so partial to.
"Hina-chan."
The Hyuuga tensed at the sound of the voice that she hadn't heard in nearly two months. She quickly whirled around on her foot to see Naruto standing in the kitchen doorway looking a bit banged up. The same big smile as always was on his face and his arms were opened wide to accept her.
"I'm home."
