Hinata POV

Hands in her lap, fidgeting, she's crumpling and creasing her pretty and formal shirt, but the nerves are too much for her and she needs to let them out in some way or another.

Raising her hand to her mouth, another nervous tick, biting around her nails (not the nails while she has a pretty design on them) but she then realizes her hands are probably filled with germs from the plane and the luggage and everything, so she puts them back down.

"First time flying?"

The kind old lady sitting next to her asks.

"Oh, no, no it's not."

Smiling shily at her. The lady justifies her question by saying she looks awfully nervous.

"Ah yes. It's my first time flying without my husband. He was supposed to come too, but his work got in the way so now I'm going alone and he'll join me in a few days and it's all just…very scary"

She talked really fast, somewhere in the middle she became aware of it but couldn't really stop so she just went on and on.

"We're moving. Because of my work and he kinda gave his 2 month notice and now they're freaking out at his office and making him stay overtime and we're going to look at places to move into and we have a few showings even before he'll arrive so I'll have to go all alone and decide if that's a good fit for us in the long run and-"

The Lady laughs at her and pats her shoulder.

"I am sure whatever home you and your husband choose will be wonderful."

Very polite way of ending the conversation. Hinata nods a bit awkwardly.

Getting her phone out, should she call Sasuke? Now before the flight starts and they won't be allowed to anymore. But he may be in a meeting.

Deciding to send him a short text instead.

'We are leaving in a few moments. I'll turn my phone off. I love you'

Sasuke POV

He's quite annoyed.

This? This is why he couldn't go with Hinata to Berlin? This?

It's a stupid meeting that could have been an e-mail. It's a stupid meeting about a project that will start AFTER he leaves.

Checking his phone for the time. He couldn't even wait with her in the airport because it was just sooo important that he is present here.

He has a text from Hinata. From 28 minutes ago. Her flight must have left already. So they won't be able to talk for the next 8 hours.

The meeting finally concludes. What was discussed? He has no idea because he paid no mind to anything. Had the CEO not been a really important family friend he would have just left. Quit on the spot. He's regretting not having done that.

Hinata POV

They're facetiming. She's walking him through the first apartment.

"It feels a bit small. Especially compared to our current place"

But they live at a house now so it feels a bit unfair to compare the two.

"I do like that it's so close to my work though. And it's on the last floor. So nosy neighbours above. But yea I just feel like something's missing"

Sasuke hums. "If you don't like it then it's a no go"

"It's not that I don't like it…The bathroom is very beautiful and big. Here let me show it to you again"

The realtor is waiting on the hall, she was here with Hianta explaining everything 10 minutes ago but then she called Sasuke and they started speaking Japanese so she slowly exited and gave them privacy.

They talk for a bit more. But nothing remains. Sasuke says that she shouldn't worry too much, that this is the first place she sees.

"Make a list. Of the pros and cons. We'll do the save for all of them and see in the end what's best"

"I will…I just…I wish you were here"

"I do too love…"

The second place is a bit more her style. It's big and pretty. It's a house. But it's outside Berlin and it would take her over 50 minutes to commute to work every day.

"Yea…that is a bit of an issue. Especially since my new job is also in a different part of the city. We'll need two cars…"

"Are you still looking at what other things are around my office?"

Sasuke has a job lined up. From his company but the Germany branch. He's not totally sold on it because of how far away he and Hinata would work. They were used to having lunch dates daily. So he's looking for things that may be closer to her.

"I saw an offer from your company actually. I applied there. It would nice if we were to work in the same place"

"It really really would"

The conversation turns to the house again and she's complaining about the lack of any supermarket or convenience store within walking distance.

"I can't wait for you to get here. Did you pack yet?"

"I did. I'm just now eating the last things in the fridge that may go bad in the 2 weeks we'll be gone"

Sasuke POV

He told her it's not necessary for her to wake up at the crack of dawn (4 a.m.) to come greet him at the airport. But when he walks through the entrance an sees her there he's not surprised at all.

Her smile is so wide when she finally sees him too and she's running. Gosh he missed her too. And they were away for only 4 days.

"Hello baby" caressing her hair softly and placing a sweet kiss onto pretty lips. "I missed you"

She's hugging him very close. "I did too. Come, let's go sleep I'm sure you're tired from the flight"

He really is.

"So…do we have a tour today? Where's this house located?"

They end up seeing another 3 houses and 5 more apartments and none of them are perfect. And the more they see and the more complaints they have the more upset Hinata gets.

"It's my fault that we have to uproot from home and come here and and-

We can't even find a good home…"

She's sitting on his lap, face buried in his shoulder. She's not crying but probably frustration tears aren't far behind.

"I think we're getting hunged up on the small details. At the end of the day…it's just a house we're viewing and it's out job to make it a home.

At the end of the day, we've been in this tiny hotel room for almost 2 weeks, but doesn't it feel like home by now?"

He's hugging her closer, pressing soft kisses on the top of her head. Fingers going up and down her back.

"I'm sure whichever house we go for it'll all turn out well. They were all pretty. And they're even better when I think that I'll spend all my time there with you. So, cheer up…I don't like seeing you upset over such things Hina"

Raising her head, pretty lavender eyes looking into black ones, her lips pouting. He can't help giving them a quick peck.

"Maybe you're right…home is wherever you are…"
