Goodnight

"If he throws up on the bed-"

"He won't."

Sasuke glared at her but she averted his gaze to make sure that Naruto was tucked in properly. She couldn't promise that he wouldn't throw up. He and Sakura had both spilled their guts on the way to the Uchiha's apartment. Twice. Neither one of them was the most cooperative when they were sober. The fact that they were both sick and drunk compounded the difficulty. Still, they were lucky that Sasuke and Sakura didn't live very far from the restaurant. Hinata shuddered to imagine the struggle it would have been to drag Naruto clear across town on her own.

Naruto mumbled incoherently in his sleep, rolling over onto his stomach until he finally settled. On the other side of the bed, Sakura had already pulled a pillow over her head. Hinata sighed as she backed away from the pair and crossed her arms over her chest. The two of them looked absolutely pitiful. Part of her wanted to wake Naruto up and force him to walk the rest of the way home but he'd just throw up…again. Sasuke wasn't going to help her drag him across town either.

Frowning she turned out of the room to make her way into the kitchen. She needed something to drink that preferably was nonalcoholic. Her search of the kitchen wasn't as fruitful as she'd hoped it would be. Unsurprisingly it was much smaller than her own. There were only a couple of plates and cups in the cabinets. The fridge was full of takeout boxes and expired cartons of milk.

"Do you always help yourself to other people's things?" Sasuke said as he passed the kitchen doorway, pulling a makeshift futon-sled of blankets and pillows behind him.

He was gone before she could retort but that didn't stop her from glaring at his retreating back. When he was out of her line of sight, she closed the door to the fridge and settled for a glass of water from the tap. She drank it quickly before making her way to where Sasuke had disappeared. He sensed her presence without turning around and tossed a pillow onto the sofa.

"You will take the couch."

Hinata silently nodded but eyed the futon he'd been dragging. It was thin and didn't look comfortable at all. Despite what a jerk he'd been that evening, it didn't feel right to make him sleep on the floor in his own apartment. Taking the pillow off the couch, she tossed it onto the futon. Sasuke raised a brow at her actions but silently removed the pillow and placed it back on the couch.

"Hinata."

"No."

"No?"

Hinata shook her head and grabbed the pillow to clutch it close to her chest. The Uchiha let out a huff of frustration and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Fine." He said and Hinata quickly sat on the futon before he could change his mind.

One she was semi-comfortable, Sasuke unceremoniously threw a sheet over her before laying down on the couch. Had she made him mad now? Anxiously she pulled the sheet off of her head and turned to question him. She didn't want Sasuke to be angry with her…it was just rude for her to make him sleep on the floor.

"Sasuke." She started and a dark eye cracked open to glare at her. "If you would rather sleep on the floor you…you can sleep here."

The dark eye that glared at her closed as if contemplating the offer. For a moment she thought that he was just going to ignore her but instead he grunted and rose. He then moved to take her place on the futon while she quickly shuffled to the couch. Once settled, again, Hinata bit her bottom lip nervous but happy that he wasn't too mad at her. This day really hadn't gone how she'd expected it to.

She blinked up at the dark ceiling, grasping at straws for what to say to smooth things over between them.

"I…I'm sorry about what Naruto did to your mat."

The two shuddered at an unfortunately shared memory of Naruto throwing up on the doormat to the apartment. Sasuke didn't even try to recuse the mat. He just threw it in the garbage can, a barely suppressed look of murder and disgust in his eyes. She glanced at Sasuke to see if any of the residual anger was still there but the corners of his lips had upturned into an almost smirk. She hid her own smile behind her hand, a small giggle escaping out.

"I'll buy you another one soon." She offered but the Uchiha rolled over onto his side.

"Go to sleep Hinata."

"Sasuke."

"Hn."

"Good night."

She didn't expect him to respond but when she closed her eyes she could hear him. A deep voice that was softer than normal and lacked it's usual edge of irritation.

"Good night."
