Off
Sasuke knew that something was off the minute he walked into the Hyuuga's house. Male sandals that were not his own were already messily removed by the door. Dusty footprints led from the entrance to the living room. This was not the way Hinata normally kept her home.
Frowning, he followed the tracks into the kitchen where Hinata was alone, struggling to reach the plates in the cabinet. Quickly, he crossed the kitchen to bring the plates down for her before she broke something. After being around him for nearly two months, she no longer jumped at his assistance. Instead, she just turned around and smiled at him.
"Thank you Sasuke."
Her smile was brighter than usual. There was a spark in her eyes that had been missing for months. He opened his mouth to ask her why the front of the house was messy but his answer came traipsing into the kitchen.
"Oi! Sasuke!"
The Uchiha moved away from Hinata to see Naruto smiling brightly at him, the smell of his shower gel filling the kitchen. The blonde immediately wrapped him up in an unwelcome hug that was much too tight.
"Long time no see ya bastard!"
Sasuke pushed him away slightly and gave him a curt nod.
"It's been awhile."
"Man hasn't it? I never understand how these missions spiral out of control." Naruto laughed and moved away to open the fridge to rummage. He removed a familiar looking bento box and opened the lid. "I've gotta go report to Kakashi-sensei and explain before they send someone after me haha."
"Wait…" Hinata started, tightly clutching the stack of plates Sasuke had retrieved. "You haven't eaten."
"I'll be back by dinner, I'll just take this for now but thanks Hina-chan."
The blonde then kissed Hinata on the cheek while simultaneously pulling out a compartment from the bento and handing it to Sasuke.
"I don't like tomatoes." He grimaced and replaced the lid on the bento. "See ya!"
Sasuke stood stiffly with the cold compartment of cherry tomatoes in his hand. Hinata didn't move either. When the front door slammed shut, he turned to look at the small woman. She stared silently at the spot Naruto had left, a pale hand coming up to her cheek. Using the back of her hand, she wiped off his kiss and left the kitchen.
