*Continuing from chapter 23
(S) Ashes to Embers
As Sasuke and Hinata continue their tender embrace, their kisses become more electrifying as heavy raindrops dance around them. His fingers trace the curves of her body under her soaking clothes, while her hands delicately cup his face, pulling him closer as their canoodling grows more passionate.
The whispers of "I love you" escaping their lips, make every touch communicate the fiery connection baring within their hearts as they celebrate their renewed affections.
Then when his gaze locks to hers, shining with adoration, Hinata takes a deep breath then shares softly.
"Sasu since we're doing this, we should get some things straight."
He nods attentively "Okay."
"Even when we move, you still have to do therapy."
"Got it, no more trauma bond. You have my word," he responds immediately.
He then gives her a reassuring squeeze and a smile graces her lips as she softly clears her throat "That means a lot to me. I want us to trust each other more than ever, so just to be open, I should tell you that me and Naruto-"
"I'll live longer if I don't know," he interrupts, his tone muddled with evident unease.
"Sasu, it's just that we-"
"Good or bad, I don't need to hear what you did with him. I don't need that imagery."
Hinata replies cautiously as her stomach churns "You know, that's the next thing. We're still doing counseling, we have to do things right and that includes bringing everything up there."
"And I'll deal with it then," he says convincingly, gently rubbing away the furrows between her brows "I'm fine to face those conversations Hina I am. Just not today, not on our anniversary, and definitely not when I just got you back."
His gaze shifts off to the side with obvious apprehension, and as Hinata senses the distance, she cups his face gently in her hands and replies with a tone full of tenderness.
"You're not here, I don't know where you've gone, but come back to me."
His eyes languidly drift towards her and they brighten with life when she comes in full view, and as her palms continue cradling his cheeks, he nods with a light smile.
"I've endured enough headlines, I just need a break from all those thoughts."
"You're right," She leans into him, placing a long kiss on his lips "Today is about us and our love. We're in this together Sasu, I'm yours faithfully."
He nods while rubbing his nose against hers and as she giggles from the tingling sensation she says "But just so you know, you're the cuck and I'm the whore, rebranding will be a tall order, regardless of where we go."
He subtly shakes his head inhaling quietly "It'll be a cakewalk… Because, if we don't give a fuck, why does it matter?"
Hinata eases back with a curious stare and he snuggles into her neck, crumbling away her worry with laughter "You do have a point. I guess all that's left to say is… It's only been five years Sasu, we still have a long way to eternity, so pack light."
"Don't worry I'm all set, you just better get used to loving this face because even when it starts turning to dust, there's no way I'm ever letting you go."
"No way huh? What if I'm the one covered in maggots though?"
He lifts a brow "Is that supposed to turn me off" Hinata's lips press together in amused disgust as she tries to stifle a laugh and Sasuke pulls her close, adding "Face it Hina, you're stuck with me, rotting flesh and all."
She replies still giggling "You're ridiculous you know that? But I'll hold you to it."
"I'd hope so, that means you won't mind a preview, would you?"
"Why don't you find out?" She entices.
His fingers gently tangle in her wet hair as he presses against her, and when their lips meet, the warmth of their bodies becomes searing, and as their passion mixes with the coldness of the rain, it creates an intoxicating blend of sensations, enough to make things start escalating without much thought.
A hand strays beneath his clothes, eager to pick up where they left off, but just as their jaws loosen even further, deepening their desires in an unbridled daydream, the wind picks up and with it thunder and lightning.
Then when Hinata shivers, Sasuke reluctantly pulls away from her lips "As much as I want to keep this going, I get the feeling someone up there wants us to get a room."
"Yeah no kidding," she giggles with eyes barely open.
He sweeps her off her feet, cradling her bridal style, and her heart flutters when she wraps her arms around his neck and looks behind him.
"Uhh, I think we can say the same for those people over there."
When he looks over his shoulder, Sasuke notices the phones aimed straight at them in the lower apartments and as he takes a quick spin, he soon realizes that their rekindled flames were burning brightly amidst the pouring rain, as traffic slows almost to a halt just a few feet from the parking lot.
He grins as Hinata gazes at him, knowing full well that Hiashi will be made aware that he's forgoing their discussion, and so, as a final middle finger to his in-laws, he pulls her up a bit more on his chest, leans in and gives her one more fervid smooch.
His brazen display of love for her, causes Hinata's muscles to lose tension. It's so exciting to love and have it reciprocated that light-headedness overcomes her, and she's practically hanging off a cloud while becoming increasingly aware of her own heartbeat.
After a swift ride up to her floor they at last get inside, and as soon as he sets her down, Hinata immediately exposes her nakedness to him, ridding herself of dripping clothing, and wringing her hair out over them.
When she turns to Sasuke, he picks his jaw up from the floor and Hinata muffles a laugh. The way he stands motionless with a glaze that's penetrating as it traces every contour of her unguarded body, makes it seem like he will fall over if she just breathes on him.
She's flawless and supple just the way he remembers, and as he continues his intense scrutiny, blush spreads across her cheeks and she flaunts her body, allowing herself to be the perfect exhibition for his hungry eyes, a hunger that matches her own.
When she approaches him, Sasuke's gut tightens with anticipation, but Hinata simply caresses his jaw "You should see your face," she teases.
She sways away right after, bending down to pick up her clothes, meanwhile, Sasuke finally blinks to moisten his dry eyes, however, his yearning only increases.
Then as Hinata feels his eyes all over her again, she adds without looking back "I don't know about you, but I need a shower. So you can stay here my knight in shining wet armor or-"
She hears several pieces of clothing plop to the ground right behind her and she smiles, appreciating his energy. Then when she turns around, her gaze speaks volumes, conveying a love that is pure, accepting, and most of all thirsting without judgment for the cock that looks even bigger than she remembers.
After placing their clothes in the washer, she lures him into the bathroom with a finger pulling an invisible string, and when they get in the shower, a series of events take place.
He plays with her hair, she washes his back, they bump into each other's soaped-up bodies, lathering each other again and again, but soon Sasuke stands behind her, gliding his tongue until it's in her ear, prodding his dick between her thighs just to tease her pussy while filling his slippery hands with her breasts, massaging her bear mounds and gently pinching her nipples until they pebble to a hard peak.
It's everything he's been craving to do, but besides delicate touches in inappropriate spots, it's a completely normal cleansing.
Thus, Hinata eager for more, guides one of his hands down to her pussy, and his fingers gently slide her slit open and slowly dip inside, bending slightly as they pivot and sink, stroking her firmly as her walls melt and spasm excitedly from his entrance, sending her juices streaming down to his cock still wedged between her legs, showering it with lust and begging for it to enter.
Her chest heaves with want as her moans grow louder for him to tear her apart, and as he enjoys the sounds of her pleas and her pussy squelching with desire from his every touch, Sasuke bites down hard on his lip, extremely pleased as he builds her arousal under his control.
Her body's been doing everything to alert that it's ready, so when Hinata suddenly pulls away, washes off and swings the door open to step out, he's left with no option but to quickly grip her arm, and pull her back.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"You're taking too long," she snaps.
He exhales amused "I'm just trying to be gentlemanly here, take it slow."
"Yeah that's nice and all, but you've waited too long to not know what you want," She turns around and looks him dead in his eyes, whispering close enough for him to feel her breath "And you know I can take it, so why hold back?"
And just like that, his desires break from their leash and Sasuke grabs her, lifts her high, spreads her wide and pins her onto the walls of the shower, causing Hinata to release an excited gasp when her back hits the tile and his torso braces against her, sandwiching her with no chance of escape.
He devours her neck with starved kisses, pushing her against the wall while greedily licking from her chin to her breasts, locking a nipple between his teeth and stretching it with his lips, then glides his smooth tongue right down her center, straight to her clit and back up.
He whispers tantalizingly with lips gently nipping her neck "I've been wanting to do this for so fucking long."
She leans into his lips "Prove~ Aaah"
His cock presses into the cusp of her folds and he bites into her neck as he penetrates, imagining clouds parting as he forces his head into her tightness, squeezing out her fluids for room.
"Fuck," he groans, his breath warmer against her as he squeezes her tight and slowly inches inside.
Her pussy is hot, and slick as it wraps around his stiff cock, and as he listens to her sappy heat squelching while her juices flow down his shaft, he blows a series of short breaths to regain control then whispers into the shell of her ear.
"Show me how badly you want it."
With eyes locked on him, she bites her lip, grips his shoulders then slowly impales herself on his dick and it stretches to accommodate half of his length.
It's a mind-breaking feeling, making the hairs on his neck stand tall, and Hinata secures her legs as they flap over his elbow pit and wrap around his back.
"It's your turn," she whispers.
As he watches her body adjust for him, Sasuke spreads her ass cheeks then coils their tongues together while steadily sliding his full length inside, slowly skinning into her core.
His cock pulsates as he feels her rings buckle and break one by one, and as her grip gifts him immense pleasure, he fucks her at a glacial pace, slow and steady, in and out, leaving behind the perfect length so she's never empty as he gets reacquainted with her slippery tunnel.
But when Hinata moans in his mouth and squeezes him in with her thighs, his dick gets heavy and he crams his cock inside her recklessly, thrusting fast and smacking their wet bodies together without thought.
She digs her nails into his back and he bends her legs "Does that do it for you?"
"Not even close," she purrs.
It's permission explicitly granted, and her moans echo against the tile as Sasuke takes her rough and hard, slamming his dick into her and making her pussy squeal and ooze until his cock is coated with her sticky satisfaction.
With each thrust she groans in protest until he slams into her again, taking a lungful of air from her with every stroke, and though she's already stretched and gushing from his assault she begs him for more, nibbling his ear and licking the lobe.
"Sasu, it's so funny. I remember you being better at this."
His thrusts slow to a halt, and as he looks her up and down Hinata laughs against his lips.
He nods with a soft smirk and slides his tongue on her lips then lovingly dips it into her mouth, and as she wraps it around hers, he suddenly swings her from the wall, pushes her up against the glass, making her plump juicy knobs print through the misted screen, then firmly locks her hands on her lower back.
"Don't be too loud," he commands with a hand gripping her neck.
It catches the gasp before it can even leave her throat and as she feels his tip sinisterly encircling her entrance from behind, Hinata sucks in her stomach and bends her knees, preparing for the consequences of her incitement.
He sinks in just the tip a few times, slowly removing her guard once again, and as soon as he sees her take a deep breath he drives his cock powerfully into her cunt.
"AH-"
He grips her jaw and pulls her back "I said. Not. Too. Loud Hina."
He rams inside her with brute force, slamming himself down harder, and whispers 'how good she feels', and 'how he could fuck her like this all day' while her walls pulse and clench tightly around his sinking shaft.
She stutters out an apology but her whimpers are music to his ears, and he releases her jaw just to squeeze her ass as it bounces, giving himself even more access to her body.
She can feel his intensity increasing with each pound, and as her contractions flutter throughout her pussy, Sasuke takes advantage of her euphoria by crushing her against his chest, squeezing her breasts together, and fucking her harder until she lets out a small cry.
"I-I'm-"
He plunges deeper, screwing his cock against her sweet spot, and as she spirals in ecstasy, Hinata shrieks to the ceiling, coming apart as her orgasm gushes out in a desperate sloppy release.
Her whiteriver sloshes around his dick, and Sasuke buries himself to the hilt just to feel her cum stream along his full length.
He groans when he feels her muscles spasm deep within her, and as he pounds out every ounce of cream, Hinata looks back at him tickled pink with a disoriented daze that makes his dick throb.
The rush finally breaks, and as she pants to catch her breath, he slowly slides out of her soppy depths, smiling giddily as he admires her used cunt, still trickling with cum, glossing his cock and dripping down his balls.
He gets on his knees behind her and curls his hands under her ass then runs a slick tongue down the length of her gooey passage, sticking it in and sliding it along her walls, milking her sweet nectar as it oozes out, and after swallowing a mouthful, he kisses her folds then softly sucks them in
"Mmm perfect."
It makes her body lose its edge, and as she stands there ragged, shaking, and clinging to the glass, Sasuke rises to his feet and teases her one last time, slapping her ass like bongos with a soft smirk to playfully display his dominance after her provocation.
Then as he watches her eyes go lazy from being drained, he lovingly caresses her body and washes her off, cleaning up their impassioned mess. Then after helping her out of the shower, Sasuke grabs a towel and starts heading for the door.
As he covers his head to dry his hair, he suddenly hears her call out to him and when he turns around, he feels a rush of fire shoot through his body straight to his cock, when his tip gets goggled and swallowed before he can even find her.
He fidgets, tossing away the towel only to see her beneath him neatly folded on the floor, her fingers sinking into the back of his thighs as she sucks him in deeper and deeper until he can feel the end of her throat.
He groans almost falling backward, and Hinata pulls off with a sloppy pop then sucks on his tip with hollow jaws, rolling her head and curving her tongue to his shape.
Her mouth waters as she swirls along his underside, gliding down his base where she slurps on his balls, dragging them in with her lips and massaging them with her tongue. Plopping them out to lick the sensitive spot behind them, then licks his cock all the way back to the tip.
She loves the taste of him, and as she slides his cock up and down her throat, saliva and precum drip from his shaft, sticks to her cheeks and runs down her neck so much she chokes a little.
She twists her lips around his head with her tongue sliding against it, and as Sasuke listens to her slobbering his girth over and over, he grips her hair and pulls her head back just enough to see her eyes.
"You're so fucking good," he says while spreading his goop along her lip.
She softly releases his cock, keeping him right at the end of her lips, then when she sensually licks his opening with the tip of her tongue, his dick throbs and Sasuke yanks her up by her arms.
He lifts her onto the counter with animalistic lust, knocking over everything in sight, sucking on her lips and swallowing her moans as he slams his cock into her pussy.
Everything about her is amazing, her pussy is slick from her cum and excitement with muscles gripping his shaft like a greedy vice, milking his precum while he pounds deeper and deeper into her silky passage.
He savors her tongue as it sweeps through his jaws, and as he feels her tits soft and perfect as they jiggle smothered against him while her hands rub and claw at his arms and back, his timed pace sputters out of control, and Sasuke plows himself into her, spreading her cheeks wide enough so his balls smack on her asshole.
Hinata's moans seep through their kiss and as his head drums hard on her g-spot while his pelvis grinds up against her throbbing clit, her legs droop and she falls against him.
It's like he's reading her mind, and as her walls start to collapse again, she straddles her legs around his back but it only makes him fuck her harder. She fights back this time, gluing her pussy to his hips and grinding her cunt on his cock so much so that he flings his head from her ravaging tongue with a roaring "Fuck!"
His eyes twitch and roll as she slides her tongue along his cheek and neck, softly begging for his seed until his control falters, and as he frantically thrusts in and out of her, his orgasm climbs.
He rams her without mercy, leaving no pause, until suddenly, she feels his cock swell like a geyser, hard and fat, and she cries in pleasure when his hot sticky fountain of cum streams deep inside.
It courses through her pussy, drenching her tunnel and overwhelming her womb in an instant, smearing her insides and turning her into such a sloppy mess that even when she thinks he's done, his dick just keeps giving and giving, dumping buckets worth of cum into her.
Sasuke shoves himself as deep as he can go, and as the pressure of his load piles up inside it forces Hinata over the edge and she convulses as she erupts with a torrential climax of her own.
She hooks her nails into him as it gushes out, slathering his shaft down to its base, and as her cunt tightly seizes around his rod, a wave of satisfaction overcomes him and Sasuke slumps forward, pushing her further on the counter as she forces every drop of cum out of him until his balls empty and shrink.
They gasp for breath, panting into each other's mouth until their tongues knot in the middle, and now at the heights of bliss with cum and sweat sliding between their bodies, their excited lust gets replaced by a warming rush of love.
As they gaze into the other half of their souls, they share a loving sentiment without needing to say a word, and as he cups her chin and tenderly traces the outline of her jaw, Hinata responds with a soft smile and eyes reflecting the devotion she feels for him.
She reaches up to playfully ruffle his hair, and he leans into her then pecks her on the cheek
"You know, I still can't believe you fell for my charms back then."
Hinata rolls her eyes but her smile stays ""Charms"? You mean the brooding offensive vibe?"
"It worked, didn't it? You're here with me now, aren't you?"
"Ohhh… So you just brood your way into my heart is what you're saying?" She chortles.
"Alright, maybe your kindness got to me a little, and these tits."
Sasuke loosens his lips then presses his face down in her chest, jostling around her bosom with glee, and as he motorboats her, Hinata giggles while rubbing the back of his head.
"A little he says… You're impossible Sasu."
"I know, and yet here you are still putting up with me," he muddles while still buried in her breasts.
"Strange, I guess I have a soft spot for brooding impossible men."
He pops his head up "And lucky for you I'm an expert in both. You married your dream come true Hina."
She cups his chin "Yes you are, it's quite irresistible actually."
"I'll definitely take your word for it."
"Or you know, you can test it out yourself."
"Yeah?" he says while leaning into her, his movement slow and deliberate.
"Mhm."
"Right now?"
She hums against his lips "Mhmm."
"Hmmm," he murmurs with lips wrapped around hers, sucking the sweetness off her tongue.
While they kiss, they inhale each other, breaths fusing and binding them even closer, absorbing all their affections and returning it equally, in a tender exchange of feelings that goes beyond the physical touch, leaving them in perfect sync, that when their lips part, their heads stay pressed together with both experiencing immense levels of joy.
He whispers slowly while gazing deeply into her eyes "I missed you, I missed this so much Hina, everything about you… I don't know what I would have done if-"
"And you'll never find out," She holds the sides of his face, stroking his sideburns with her thumbs then smoothly pulls him back to her lips.
Their kiss is long and drawn out, breathing life into their marriage, each other and their love, and as they take a shared breath, their voices blend into a soft, low hum, professing simultaneously.
"I love you."
It's a declaration that reverberates through them without needing any further explanation, and as their hearts beat as one, they wash up again for the third time. After picking up everything off the floor, their allure to each other finally lets up enough for them to leave the bathroom, however, it doesn't for too long.
Now eager to relax, Sasuke walks her over to the couch, but as they get close Hinata pulls her hand from his, and he quickly turns around, reaching for her "Aren't you coming?"
"You have no clothes to wear remember, I need to move them to the dryer, but you can sit."
"Oh I know I can, but can you?" He teases with a soft chuckle
"Smooth Sasu, real smooth. How many shots you have left in you?"
He grins "I'm not even trying yet."
"I can tell."
His lips curve to a suggestive smile and when he doesn't respond Hinata walks right up to him until she's right under his chin.
"Wait what's happening? Is the master of wit dare I say, speechless?"
He pats her on the head "Don't let it get to you too much."
"Trust me, it will. The thing is, I'm just getting started."
She pushes him down on the couch to sit then leaves to fix their laundry, and soon Sasuke eases back, puts his legs up on her ottoman, closes his eyes and relaxes.
However, he isn't sleeping, and as he sits there pondering their next move for when they leave, he suddenly feels Hinata's body curve over his shoulder and slink down to his lap with her soft breasts and hard nipples running down his torso.
His lazy eyes pop wide open when he feels her warm hands wrap around his deflated cock and it twitches in response. Then when she gently greases it with a long slow lick all the way to its tip, Sasuke's feet jitter against the floor.
"Get up, let's go."
He wearily tilts his head "Uh, what?"
"I'm not talking to you," She flops his dick around "I know you like this so wake up. I'm ready."
He puffs out a small chortle "Yeah that's not happening, can't we just-"
"C'mon I haven't seen you in months and that's all I get?"
With a roguish twinkle, he makes it twitch in response and Hinata scoffs.
"Of course I'm ready, you're the one sleeping on the job here."
She converses with his dick a few more times, and he chuckles at each response, entertained by her urge, but when she continues to plead with his spent rod for minutes, bending it backward and sucking on his tip while lightly squeezing and tugging his balls, he eases back on the couch, still unprepared to match her energy.
"So this is what it means to be careful what you wish for," he mutters internally.
Hinata is hell-bent on coming endlessly, and even with him running her dry, she's like a machine, perked up and ready in minutes, eyes filled with insatiable lust, meanwhile he's exhausted after maintaining an extended erection and blowing his load.
Then although he needs time to rebuild his stamina, Sasuke aims to please his horned-up wife and thinks of a good way to speed things up.
He hoists her upward while splitting her thighs apart, locking his head right in her center, and though Hinata pouts when her lips can no longer reach his dick, she chirps up instantly when his tongue rubs against her dripping slot.
The heat from her cunt spreads across his lips as he slides down to her clit, and with his tongue coiling and sucking her most sensitive spot, her breathing hitches.
"K-K-Keep going,"
His tongue grazes her inner walls and sends a fiery itch burning through the pit of her belly as he drives along her passage with lascivious need, slurping her hole and pushing away her cream until her juices spill into his mouth and run down his chin.
Her voice echoes across the room when he grips her ass and squeezes, digging deeper so she feels every inch of his tongue while sucking on her flesh. Leaking out her sweet flavour and stirring her up until her pussy quivers around him, making Hinata's moans bounce off the walls and ring in his ears with so much heated desire that his dick throbs and rapidly hardens.
Her tongue pops out instinctively when it rises, and Hinata drags herself down so her dribbling maw can suck delicately on his head and as he feels himself getting consumed, Sasuke thrusts his hips up and slams his cock on the back of her throat, making her nostrils flare out as she's suddenly forced to choke him down.
She grinds her pussy in his face in retaliation, burying his tongue as it coils inside and pressing the tip of his nose deeper in her ass, and when her jaws tighten to suck down his precum while he's still fucking her throat, Sasuke groans loudly.
"How the fuck are you so good?"
Her mouth drags on his dick every time he pulls out, gripping and sucking him powerfully while he stuffs it in, and as her tongue hangs limply off the side of her jaw, her mouth becomes the perfect oiled-up sleeve for his cock to ravage.
Her pussy gets hotter and wetter as his lips and tongue push her closer and closer to the edge, and when Hinata's moans gurgle and drip down his cock, the white in his eyes take over and he suddenly backs off, hauling his dick from her mouth and gasping as he pulls his tongue out of her streaky slot.
"N-N-N-NO" she whines.
Her clit throbs hard as her climax backtracks, leaving her a shivering blubbering wreck on his chest, and as he starts to reorient her onto his lap, Hinata whimpers breathlessly while sliding across his body.
"Wh-why'd you.. Stop?"
He admits boldly, rasping just as hard "Because… you we're about to win again… And I can't have that."
He slides her pussy over his dick then sucks on her lips, and as he ensnares her in a kiss Hinata can taste herself on his tongue. Her eyes flutter from the arousal, and when his tip rubs on her clit, she gets up and pulls him toward her bedroom.
He gropes her the entire way over, and after lifting her and tossing her on the bed, he climbs up quickly to plunge inside, but when his leg knocks her nightstand, it activates a constant and annoying buzz that takes him out of the moment.
"You have bees in here?"
When she hears it, Hinata quickly gets a grip, pushes him off and rushes over to her bedside, and Sasuke's brows arch with even more intrigue.
"Okay, that wasn't weird at all. I know you left your phone, so…"
Her face flushes with cringe "It's nothing, let's just-"
"If it's nothing then show me."
"Sasu…"
"What?" He says with impishly curling lips "You said it's nothing, right? I can handle nothing."
She facepalms while locking her knees, then as she slowly opens the drawer she softly pleads "Don't laugh."
He nudges her as he takes a peak "Why would I la-"
His words cut short from rubbing his mouth to squeeze in the laugh, cracking up as he grabs a long vibrator from her plethora of sex toys to switch it off. Then as he watches Hinata ducking beneath her bang, he clutches her close, muffling any titters in her hair that attempt to squeak out.
"So, you've been-" The laughter scratches his throat "You've been having fun huh?"
She rolls her eyes with a rapid blink "Yeah yeah yuck it up, har har."
He kisses her head softly, rubbing her back and rocking her "I'm not making fun of you Hina, I just want to know."
She replies coyly, keeping her head down "Not all the time but ye-" Her head snaps up when she sees a dildo fly across the room and stick to the wall "Wh-Why'd do that?!"
"Because I like having fun with you," he says sincerely.
Then as his smile lights up more, it sweeps away her embarrassment, and Hinata soon giggles, laughing at herself for thinking he'd judge.
He pulls her in, whispering seductively "I want to play with you Hina. So how about you go get it?"
He leers down at her with a stoic gaze, fucking her mind with seamy intentions, and as her wetness runs down her thighs, she darts to get the dildo following his command. However, just as she bends her knees, and wraps her fingers around the toy, she feels a broad hand press down on her back, pushing her face up against the tip.
"Stay right there," he murmurs.
He slaps his cock on her ass and when Hinata looks back with lecherous eyes, she sees her vibrator in his hand. She juts quickly to take it from him, but Sasuke shoves it between her lips and rubs it on her jaw then requests temptingly
"Can you get this nice and wet for me?"
Hinata takes a second to register what's happening then slowly swirls her tongue around the vibrator, and when he sees it glistening and dripping with her saliva, he pulls it out and tells her to face forward.
She releases an airy breath when he thrusts his cock inside her pussy without hesitation and as her lips get shoved on the dildo, it inches down her throat until her ears pop, and as his stiff length delves and grinds into her soppy tightness, he turns on the vibrator and grazes it against her rim.
"You like that?"
She nods while clutching the wall with trembling hands.
"Then spread your cheeks for me."
Her hands shake with excitement as they snake backward to open herself up, and as he watches her puckered pinkness spread, he jams the vibrator into her ass and slams down hard into her cunt, pushing her forward with enough room to still suck on the cock in front.
Her mouth melts around the dildo as he strokes her from behind, and as she enjoys getting stuffed from both ends, Hinata sucks harder on the toy and rolls her hips, letting herself go to be her husband's perfect slut.
Her rings pulsate around him signaling an incoming orgasm, and Sasuke presses his fingertips on her clit, then flicks and squeezes, and she quivers breathlessly on the toy.
"Fuccck."
He's plugging all her holes, and as the jittering device reams into her asshole over and over, he rams his thumping cock deeper in her pussy, forcing her to accept that her pleasure is beyond her control.
She smiles deliriously while digging her nails into her cheeks to expose more, and as Sasuke's hips bang against her ass and the vibrator warbles through her core, the sounds of slapping skin, moaning and buzzing fill the room.
He shortens his thrusts, taking her harder and faster, and as her destroyed hole liquefies around his rod, Sasuke slams his cock and the vibrator as far as it can go, stuffing her to her limits.
"Stop holding back Hina, you know you want to-"
"Come!" she shrills.
She flings her head back from the dildo as her body bucks back and forth, letting out a choking sob as her cum shoots out and glazes his cock, and as her steamy mix rushes out and drips down her thighs, she slowly crumbles to the ground dissolving in the sticky pleasure pooling beneath.
He goes down with her, clinging to her hips and fucking her still, and as she feels herself being taken ruthlessly, her pussy flutters around his length, painting his cock with her release.
It makes his balls tingle, a clear sign that he's reaching his peak, and as he watches Hinata laying there exhausted and satisfied, with her tongue slipping out of her loose jaw, he pulls her up and whispers with staggered breath.
"I love seeing you like this… You're. So. Fucking. Hot."
He tugs out the vibrator as his climax breaks his tip, and as he takes one last powerful stab, his cock explodes inside her warmth, snapping her tension and splattering his pungent vigor into her womb once again.
It finishes her off, and as she feels his swollen river surge through her guts she kegels on his dick, refusing to let go until he's left behind a full load of cum, then as she murmurs and spreads her ass, he quickly swaps to it and rams in the end of his load.
He feels the ripples from her pussy as he pumps her ass full of semen, filling it until it bubbles and leaks too, and as he slumps over her lightheaded and wheezing, her lips wiggle to tease, however, she slurs her words instead, utterly fucked senseless and passing out from overstimulation.
The tremors of pleasure coarse right through them to make up for months passed, and as Sasuke gets ready to collapse too, he musters some strength from the pit of his belly and slowly pulls himself from her relaxing walls, taking a moment to admire her gaping holes spilling out with fulfilment, the beautiful aftermath of their session.
He lifts her worn-out body off the ground and carefully tucks her into bed, and as they lay there dressed in sweat, fitting like pieces to a puzzle, Sasuke looks on at his captivating wife and exhales a long gratifying sigh, experiencing the familiar peace he's desired all his nights alone.
Then as he listens to the rain tapping on the windows all around, he buries his face into the curve of her neck, and with eyes half-lidded from sleep pulling him in, his warm breath gently caresses her skin.
"I'm here with you Hina, always, and forever."
He clutches her gently, and soon his breathing falls into rhythm with hers, and as they spend the morning of their anniversary wrapped together, reluctant to let go, their connection persists, invigorated and sanguine, with hearts tethered to each other in the reality that is their love.
Later
The sun rises, clearing away the gloomy sky and as light peers through the blinds, Sasuke's eyes slowly open, gradually giving way to wakefulness but they widen quickly when he sees Hinata next to him.
His heartbeat slows tremendously with relief and it billows in his chest from realizing it wasn't all a dream, he's gotten his deepest wish, a second chance to love her assiduously.
She's a source of happiness, his greatest love, his sought future all bundled in one, and as he gazes at the portrait of beauty beside him, he reaches out a hand and gently maps her features.
With light feathery fingertips he traces the curves of her face, running them from her temple down to the side of her jaw, skirting around her nose to her lips, then swirls one on her chin, and soon, Sasuke sees a smile tug on the corners of her lips.
"Yes I'm real," she voices softly.
He raises his hand to her head and runs it through her hair "Just checking."
Then as she yawns, Sasuke massages her scalp, rousing her nerves until she opens her eyes, and eliminating any grogginess she could have had.
She tells him good morning as she moves closer, not stopping until she's right under his chin using her forehead to rub it.
"Sasu, do you think it's safe to say we're back on track?"
He smiles with eyes softening with affection "Definitely, all things considered, we probably are the track."
She puffs out a brill chortle "Yeah that sounds about right," She buries her face in his pecks, inhaling deeply to take in his scent "You feel so warm, I love being in bed with you, I can hardly think to leave."
He delicately pecks her on the head "Then don't, let's stay here all day."
She sighs while stretching against his torso "I'd love to, but pretty soon we'll be under the track if we do, I'm starving."
She slowly weaves out of his arms but as she gets to the edge of the bed, she's suddenly draped by the covers and gets pulled back down, and before she can react Sasuke climbs on top of her, bunching up the sheets as he pins her under him.
Then when he looks at her with a mischievous twinkle, while zealously wiggling his fingers, Hinata anxiously shakes her head, but right when she shifts Sasuke pounces, unleashing havoc on her naked body.
She lets out an excited squeal as his tickling hands gently assault her, dedicated to making her smile. When she covers her neck they move to her arm pits when she squeezes them back, they slide down her sides onto her stomach, dancing all over her body and eliciting joyful screams all while she writhes to evade his touch.
His grin widens from listening to her infectious laughter, and he indulges until she's breathless and can barely move. Soon she gasps out loudly through her sobbing laughter when Sasuke falls onto her laughing too, and as he puts an end to his playful attack he murmurs against her ear and his breath prickles up goose bumps on her stimulated skin.
"Thank you Hina."
"Thanks— Thanks for what?" She pants.
"For this," He kisses her on the head "…For loving me. I can't explain how good this feels."
"Why? Limited vocabulary?"
He replies ardently while nuzzling into her more "No it's just… It's overwhelming. God, I love you so much."
"Pssh I know."
He chortles, angling his head to stare at her eyes "You're my whole fucking world Hina."
She turns her face away, concealing a smile "Yeah yeah I know that too," she says casually.
Sasuke fires up his hands again and patters them against her sides.
"Okay okay okay! I love you too!" She screams, desperate for him to stop, and when he does, she strokes his cheeks and softly titters with desired tenderness "…For a lifetime."
He settles in her loving hands, roving the corners of her eyes as he relishes being brought back together, then as he gradually closes the inch of distance between them, Hinata eases up, meeting him halfway to press their lips together in a loving kiss.
It's a gentle affirmation, tender and slow-moving, a silent promise nurturing their connection, and after minutes locking lips, they both spill out from under the covers satisfied and well-rested.
After a brisk run through the shower, Hinata grabs his clothes and presents them to him. Then while he puts on his pants she takes his shirt for herself, both remaining half-clothed as they head to the kitchen.
She takes out eggs, bacon, spring onions, and some leftover rice from the fridge while Sasuke sets on their coffee. Then as their meal sizzles, they discuss their next move, agreeing to get packed and ready before the end of the day and leave by the next once they find a suitable enough destination, far away from any links to his soon to be ex-members, her family and most of all any ties to Hiashi.
"You know, he said I was a mooching knob juggling sh-"
"Wait, he actually said all that?" She interrupts with a stunned gaze.
"I'm paraphrasing but still, despise isn't strong enough to describe this anymore Hina. He'll do just about anything to get rid of me. It's… rejuvenating."
She puffs out a giggle "Very on brand for you to find forever being hunted child's play."
He moves in close, trapping her between himself and the counter "True, good thing you're a sneak, so I know you'll enjoy every second living dangerously with me, won't you?" He tempts.
"Just try to stop me," she challenges with steady eye contact.
A restraining showdown commences as they gaze at each other, daring to make something happen, and as Sasuke dips into her lips she strokes his with her tongue and soon, they both get sucked in.
She twists the knob on the burner next to her, unable to resist a quickie, but just as Sasuke feels for her tits, they hear a sudden commotion approaching, then a rapid continuous knocking at the door.
They both sigh and groan respectively from the disturbance, and when he eases off of her, Hinata slides out from under him and Sasuke follows her closely towards the front.
She curves her lower body as she opens the door and when Sasuke steps out from behind, they both freeze on the spot, stunned when their group of friends greet them normally, clearly unfazed but relieved to see them together.
The two in front try to get in but Sasuke places a firm hand on the door, preventing it from opening further to protect Hinata from exposure, and Ino huffs.
"What the hell? After making us worried sick we can't even come in?"
Hinata responds nervously "No it's just that… Uhm… We're-"
"Let me guess, you were having 'cookies'?"
"Well uhh-" She bows shyly from being called out "…Yeah."
Suigetsu sticks out his hand "Told you, that'll be a hundred bucks."
Sasuke casts a cynical glance at him and when Suigetsu notices, he larks with a grin "What are you looking at me for? Look at him, he was the one betting that you weren't fucking. How am I the bad guy here?"
Jugo uncrosses his arms and hands them their phones "That's not exactly it. You didn't get back to me once you landed and left your door wide open, I thought something big happened. If you wanted some space you could have said that instead of making me think you'd be alone then going full hermit."
Sasuke rubs his neck "It's a long story."
"Oh yeah? Getting here was one too. I had to fish our favorite schmuck up out of Ino to even find where you could be, it was terrifying," He looks over as Suigetsu growls, adding "No offense."
"Thanks man, that means a lot," he replies laced with sarcasm.
Ten Ten interjects boldly "Don't listen to this Gollum, we were planning on coming back to check on you anyway. Twiddledum is just lucky he didn't ride under the car."
Jugo laughs it off "Wow... Wow."
"Why are you wowing?" she hisses "Are you an ambulance?"
He sighs apathetically "God Ten Ten, you're like water in my lungs."
Hinata interjects sincerely "We're sorry, we didn't mean to make you guys worry, we just got caught up… A lot happened since yesterday."
"We can tell," they voice in unison.
Ten Ten continues caringly "It's all good though, stuff happens sometimes, I mean look at Ino's face."
"Hey!"
"The fact is, we're just happy that you're safe… And you know, we support you, both, regardless."
Sasuke scoffs "Yeah I'll need a written definition of support."
Hinata nudges him "What he means is thank you, we appreciate it."
"Hinata," Jugo starts softly "…I know it won't mean much but we're sorry about, you know- everything pretty much."
He takes a small bow-tied box from his pocket and hands it to Hinata, and when she opens it, she snorts out a laugh.
"Is this a literal olive branch?"
He rubs his head nervously "Yeah… Happy anniversary, I just wanted to make you laugh for a start, but don't worry, for your next one I'll get you something even better"
She gives him a warm smile, meanwhile, Sasuke scratches his chin "Right,about that."
The kind gesture reminds him that they haven't been informed, and Sasuke holds the door until Hinata gets properly dressed and returns his shirt.
They all come in with chatter, but even with Sasuke and Hinata's freshened scent, the aroma of food as well as coffee, they pick up the hint of sex still permeating the air, and as Ino walks over to the couch, she eyes the white streaks closely.
"Uhh, is it safe to sit?"
Suigetsu pulls her back while subtly shaking his head "I wouldn't without a hazmat suit."
Sasuke ignores the swipe insouciantly while Hinata remains out of earshot, talking to Ten Ten while grabbing more ingredients to increase the yield for their guests. Then while they eat, Sasuke talks them through their plans, and as he's about to finish up, Ino and Ten Ten interrupt with grim eyes staring at Hinata.
"What?" Ten Ten questions confused.
"Leaving? No" Ino whines.
Hinata embraces them both and tries to explain it in a more reassuring way, meanwhile, Suigetsu nods understandably, giving Sasuke a comforting pat on the back.
"So… When?"
He sighs "Yesterday if possible, but tomorrow will have to do. I just need to get some stuff from my office and let Hina wrap up at work."
Jugo rubs his open jaw, closing it "So you're dropping everything, just like that?"
He replies remorsefully "Yeah, we've thought it through, and it's the best option for now. I know we thought otherwise, but we can't fight this guy, he'll bury everything with what he has, you and me included, and I promised that I would never let Hina live on his terms. I'm really sorry Jugo, I know I'm stiffing you with this."
"Look, I know how to swim. So I'll be fine," He begins in an earnest tone "It's been a wild ride with you though and it's sad that you have to give up your whole lives here but, it's too short not to chase after what makes you happy so... I know you got this."
Suigetsu rubs the back of his neck "Just send postcards at least… With bank notes."
"And hiccup m-m-make sure… to take… the scenic route. Hiccup even if... it's longer... i-it's worth... every... second," Ino sobs.
Hinata hugs her tightly "We will, it'll make the journey all the more thrilling, but Ino this doesn't mean we're leaving our friendship, we'll still keep in touch, and who knows, you might even come visit us."
"Not until a year at least. He'll be tracking us, so we got to expect that he'll have eyes on all of you too."
"Oh… Oh-Okay… Waagh"
Ino falls into more distress and as Hinata turns to Sasuke with pouting lips, gesturing with her eyes for him to fix it, he sighs before offering some reassurance.
"But we'll be thinking of you guys the whole time though."
"Y-Yo-You better," she sniffles.
With a gentle smile, Hinata reaches for Sasuke "Until then it'll just be the two of us, all to ourselves."
He quickly draws her in "Which is always my preference."
She kisses him on the cheek "I know, you're very consistent."
"Really? Don't just take my word for it, you should find out."
"Easy."
They share a deep kiss, almost forgetting the others in the room, and as they continue hoping they'll take the hint, Ino wails even louder with bitter-sweet tears running down her cheeks, while Jugo and Ten Ten turn away and look at their phones.
Suigetsu rubs Ino's shoulder "Cough yeah we're going to miss you guys ahem all those great times, cough cough… But we wish- listen just because you ignore us doesn't mean… And… They're still going."
The two dig even deeper into their kiss and as Suigetsu looks on, he shrugs.
"Eh, what the hell," he grips Ino and spins her to him "Stop crying, just put your lips on mine," He urges.
Ino submits with a whimper "O-O-Okay."
As she presses her lips on his and locks him in a steamy kiss, Suigetsu smiles, savoring her sweetness as a reward for succeeding to soothe her. Then as the two couples engage in intense lip-smacking straight ahead, Jugo and Ten Ten glance at each other, but roll their eyes away just as fast with equal contempt.
"Not even in your wet dreams baby."
"Oh please, I'd rather floss myself to death with razor wire."
He places a cupped hand next to his ear "Woah, did you hear that…? Listen, there it is… Don't you hear it?"
She wrinkles her nose "What?"
"The sound of me not giving a fuck. If I wanted lip from you I'd pull down my pants." he retorts coldly.
She snickers scornfully "You're lucky I'm in a graceful mood. I won't even waste my time on you."
"Lucky? Ten Ten you have the grace of a reversing dump truck with no tires."
"And you're as appealing as smelling a fart in the wind. If I you-"
Ten Ten gasps when her gaze meets the incredulous stares of both couples, hands still on their opposites' jaws but all eyes deeply curious about the unusual uptick in their bickering.
Jugo questions what's the matter and Ino flashes a frisky grin as her eyes shift to Ten Ten.
"Well that was awkward. Are you two…?"
"Don't hold your breath, this isn't Suino 2.0," she replies rashly.
Jugo nods "She wishes though, but listen Ten Ten I'm not gay, so try to move on from the heartbreak."
"Seriously Jugo, do you smoke it or inject it?"
"Can you ask that with less snot and tears?" he jeers instantly.
Ten Ten turns to him fully when he chortles, and while they continue taking digs at each other, the rest of the group exchange tickled glances, engulfing the room with laughter at the absurd chance of a repeating dynamic.
It instils the kind of warmth that strengthens friendship, and even with the twinge of sadness from the thought of leaving their norm, they feel an overwhelming sense of togetherness and gratitude for the time spent, allowing them all to confidently embrace a new era with sheer optimism.
Early the next day
Sasuke loads up Jugo's car, their designated driver with his and Hinata's belongings, focusing on key items acquired and created over the years. When he's done packing up their home, Hinata leaves for her practice with Ino, meanwhile, Jugo accompanies Sasuke to his office.
As he heads downtown, Sasuke can see the grand façade in the distance and when he gets closer, it becomes the focal point, towering over every other building in its proximity and dominating the skyline. It's a testament to his decimating power, a symbol of his legacy, and every bit worth giving up as what it took to achieve.
When they park, he takes one last look at his office perched at the very top, and as it peeps through the morning mist, he smiles to himself, thinking of the one who'll replenish his joy every day once he leaves here, and eagerly hops from the car.
As both men ride the lift up, they keep the banter light, reminiscing on their triumphs over the years.
"But do you remember the cheap champagne though?"
His face creases "Jugo that was colored water."
"What?"
He shrugs "It was like guzzling dish soap, there's no way you can convince me that was champagne."
He replies with a chuckle "Yeah, maybe you're right. The guy did look a little shady but I shit you not, it was still damn good."
"Sure, good enough to wash the natural salt from my body I guess."
"Refreshing and cleansing, what more do you need dude? By the way, now that the wheels are falling off, we should go get a bottle before you leave later, for old times."
"Is that right? That's how you plan to say bye to your best friend? Seltzer water and a hug?"
"Listen man I never said anything about a hug, but I can kick your ass straight to the airport though."
Sasuke scoffs while exiting the lift "How exciting, I can hardly contain it."
"What're friends for."
Jugo rushes towards him hopping with one leg poised to kick, and when Sasuke notices, he gradually picks up his pace, responding while he opens his office door.
"Try it and I'll have your eulogy ready before I—"
"Shit."
"…Indeed," Hiashi retorts while briefly looking up from the files he's sorting "Poor choices poor choices, the epitome of your ideology Uchiha."
Both men stand frozen in silence, taken aback by the intrusive presence, and Hiashi leans back with steepled fingers.
"Don't look so surprised, you've had your fair share of hostile takeovers so I'm sure you can appreciate why this is necessary."
Sasuke scoffs looking over at Jugo and gives an instructive nod, prompting him to leave, and when he exits the room, he slowly pushes his hands in his pockets.
"Right, I guess I should leave a souvenir for you to remember me by, or is my empty office enough?"
"I'm touched," he says with a sardonic grin.
Soon, Hiashi looks up and when he sees that Jugo has left, he adds mockingly "No defense…? Quite telling. Birds of a feather undoubtedly but don't fret, he'll be accosted too, so why don't you have a seat?"
Sasuke's lips curl into a tight smile "I've stood through worse."
"It's a chair not a moral statement, but suit yourself. Whether you're sitting or standing, won't negate the precarious position you're in. Honestly, it's odd you haven't gone on the run, nonetheless, I've grown tired of your games."
"The games I never even knew I was playing? What can I say, you've already won. I'm just here to collect something."
Hiashi spreads his arms "I'm not here to win I'm simply enjoying the view, but do enlighten me on how you intend to take any of my corporate assets from this room."
"It's personal,"
"Certainly, but would it be this?"
He dangles the framed photo of Hinata on his desk and when he sees Sasuke's shoulders slump forward, he adds.
"Heedlessly coming all this way is truly self-indulgence at its finest, but I won't be vexed, you've saved me the effort of hunting you myself," He turns the frame face down on the desk "I must not have made myself clear so, what gives you the gall to believe I'd allow you to run off with my daughter, again?"
Sasuke chortles inaudibly while shaking his head and Hiashi follows it up quickly.
"I've given you an inch Uchiha, but your idiocy, churlishness, and impertinence are extraordinarily limitless. So much for reforming what's left of your image."
His words get under Sasuke's skin, but armed with peace and a bucket of grins he brushes it off casually.
"There you go again yapping on about respect when you're a malicious narcissist, at least we're both consistent. The fact that you still think I'd give two fucks is a wonder on its own."
"You're a victim of yourself Uchiha, there is no need to revere you," he refutes instantly "You're a user, saddled with a legacy of scandal and dysfunction, and now that you've been outwitted you've lost your tact. I can only imagine what nonsense you've spouted to make Hinata perceive going along with this charade is in her best interest."
He replies serenely "She perceives it that way because I told her the truth, the same one she's known all along."
"And what, pray tell would that be?"
He smirks "That my love for her, along with your barbaric control is what continues to make her desperate to avoid you. Looks like you caught a bat to the knee Hiashi."
He feigns taking it in, nodding while scratching his chin Oh I see, so she chose you— an anarchic nonentity, because your love for her is so great that you went out of your way to invalidate your vows and embarrass your union. Uchiha, all you've done is control her for your own use, it's evident that your affection for her is as real as a schizophrenic's delu-"
Hinata explodes through the door "What's happening here?" She demands.
Hiashi sends her a listless glance "I see you've lost your manners. This association has left you tainted with-"
"Aye, say all the shit you want about me, but you're not about to talk to my wife like that," he removes his hands from his pockets revealing his wound fist "Not while I'm still breathing."
Hiashi's gaze flicks upward "Yes yes I'm extensively acquainted with your petulant proclivities seeing that you're the ambassador of violence, it's like clockwork."
While he disregards the threat, Hinata moves to Sasuke's side and softly rubs his fist until it relaxes.
"F-Fa… Father," she gulps a quiet breath "You have to stop this, what you're doing is wrong."
"What I am doing is best for everyone involved, including his little company."
Sasuke replies with a gruff "Yeah because I was obviously doing such a terrible job it's worth stealing, rules for thee I guess. Just admit that it sucks that I ignored the bureaucratic bullshit and still got the same omnipotence as you."
"This is seldom to do with your maniacal contumacy, we all have our duties," His eyes shift swiftly to Hinata "Including you, it appears that you have forgotten our agreement."
"I haven't because we aren't getting divorced, that was what we agreed and I've kept my word," She inhales profoundly then continues "So should you… What about integrity and fairness, cherishing the ones you love? All the things you've told me were-"
"Be quiet! I won't be lectured by my own daughter."
"Fine! Then we're done here," she wiggles her fingers into Sasuke's fist "Let's go Sasu."
They turn around to leave, and Hiashi props his head up with a loose fist then taps his fingers on the desk "Go where exactly? The authorities have already been informed that I have damning information. He'll be lucky if he isn't arrested once he steps through those doors."
Now irritated, Sasuke turns around with clenched jaws "…You've got to be kidding."
"I assure you, I'm quite serious."
With all cards on the table, Hiashi goes full in, and now realizing that he still won't cede his gambit, Hinata's eyes well up with resentful frustration.
"I can't believe you'd do this, you've always said family first, but here you are, tearing mine apart."
Hiashi rises to his feet and replies with adamance "You have a contractual agreement with this cretin and nothing else. Am I to forget the pain he's inflicted on you? Stop letting this persuasive delirium cloud your judgment of what is real."
"What's real is my love for her!" he exclaims with flinty eyes "And regardless of what you say it won't make it any less true."
Hiashi rubs his brow to ward off a headache "As poetically drivelous as that sounds in your head, your actions reign supreme nonetheless. Uchiha you are feckless, impetuous, and conflict-prone, devoid of any intrinsic value or purpose," he turns a concerned gaze to Hinata "I need you to use the wisdom you've garnered from his abuse, this marriage has long past its sell-by date, in fact it's rotten and needs to be disposed."
"Stop it! You're the one who needs to yield Father. Sasu loves-"
"Go ahead, I want to hear you say it out of your mouth while thinking back, see if it makes any logical sense."
"Strike two old man. Is your mind so fragile that you already forgot?" Sasuke interjects with a fiery grimace.
Hinata sighs with crippling dismay from the sudden urge to retract her words, and they spiral out of her head from the intimidation to get them right. Then as she bends her neck slightly, Sasuke steps in front and clutches her hand, offering her silent comfort to keep steady.
Then as she wipes her eyes and moves closer beside him, Hiashi minutely shakes his head "Hinata this underwhelming dullard sends mercenaries to solve his problems, he's a boil on the rear end of society, incapable of altruistic affection. My dear you've been blinded, your senses have been blunted when I've raised you to be strong. How can you possibly accept everything short of gravitas, and honor?"
Neither respond, becoming exhausted from the unrelenting conflict, but just when Sasuke grinds his teeth, Hiashi ruptures the silence.
"I've seen enough to know when someone is playing a role Hinata. At least the background of the other fellow brought up some commendable qualities, concepts generally alien to this one."
"Father!" She yells with protruding eyes.
And with that Sasuke chuckles, taking the swipe on the chin, and falls silent to not react to his escalation. However as he serenely disengages from what he discerns as reasoning with the unreasonable, Hinata's nostrils flare as she prepares to draw a line in the sand.
Hiashi glares at Sasuke "Don't be too offended it's-"
"Enough! I've had it with you!" she sneers, stepping forward "Father my life will never match perfectly with your ideals so you know what? I'm done trying to prove myself to you."
"My dear you don't-"
"A few hours ago I was chugging dick and being fucked in the ass."
Sasuke shudders from the outrageous statement, scratching under his chin with a darting gaze to avoid her father as she audaciously shatters the immaculate perception he has of her, and as Hiashi rubs his eyes coarsely, seemingly attempting to squeeze away the visual no father ever wants to see, words fail him for the first time.
"Wh-a…Wha-"
"The point is, I'm not a little kid, I don't need your approval to be happy, and you don't get to choose what's best for me anymore," She interrupts candidly "He's my husband, I'll stand beside him whatever may come, and I'll wait out my days for however long it takes."
He breathes in gathering some composure "…Hinata… Don't be ridiculous. You will be left with nothing, do you not remember?"
"You know how she is once she's made up her mind. If you allow this, won't it make you just as heartless as you say I am?" Sasuke interjects worried.
"She's a free woman from what I've gathered, I'm not forcing anyone's hand," He releases a disappointed sigh "In any event this is sadly familiar territory, predictable when you still have such bizarre empathy and attachment. However, perhaps a few years of deplorable living is what's best for you to move on, and once-"
Hinata interrupts with a giggle "I don't think you understand, I've been a willing abettor in sickness and health, I might not know everything but I know enough, so since I have nothing more to lose, when they come for him like you claim, I'll turn myself in too."
"Pardon?" both men utter in shock with eyes cocked right at her.
She turns toward Sasuke "We'll be apart for a while, but we'll pick up right where we left off… Any concerns?"
He nods anxiously "Yeah, about a dozen."
Hinata delicately wipes away the fret swathing his face "I'll love you forever Sasu so we won't miss a beat, and when we get out." She snarls at Hiashi "I'll cut you off for good."
Sasuke looks over at him with hollow eyes "Please don't let her do this."
His chest puffs up "You have the nerve to speak when you are the cause of this, but it's par for the course that you would rather watch her burn as well than face the heat alone. The fact that you remain a hanger-on after our discussion only proves how atrociously selfish yo-"
"You can drop that accusation, he told me everything," She interrupts firmly "He turned away from me, our love, and everything he's built because he knew what you'd do to me if he didn't. He readily sacrificed himself just to protect me from defying… but I chased him, I chose him, and I'd still do it again. So I don't care that you don't believe that he loves me, because someone with a heart as closed as yours could never get it."
She declares it resolutely and Hiashi raises his chin "You think I've never experienced love? You are a product of it."
"Then you should know what it's like to be without it. He'd do anything to safeguard my happiness, but you'd do everything in your power to hinder it."
"'Hinder it?' Hinata my intention is to gurantee-"
"He is my happiness!" She proclaims while pointing at Sasuke "A fact largely concealed from only you apparently. Father he didn't marry me to make a point, I know we've made mistakes but we're stronger for it. He supported me, catered to me, and still loved me even when he was hurting, so this punishment won't disprove that what we have is real. Why won't you get that?"
Hiashi tilts his head, chary of her self-assurance "It's not that simple you-"
"It's simple enough, that's the reason we're still together despite all that's happened. But if you're willing to die on this hill so be it, because I won't give into you like I did back then, whether you like it or not."
Hiashi looks at her bewildered, meanwhile, Sasuke gazes at her smiling proudly, then as she walks towards the desk, Hinata adds assertively "So call them, they can arrest us here… I'm waiting."
"You won't last a second, are you willing to go to such lengths for him?"
"Watch and see," she shoots back defiantly.
Hiashi sits then picks up the phone and as Hinata stares holes through him, maintaining a level of resilience he did not expect, his skepticism wavers and soon he hangs up, falling backward in the chair while sweeping heavy hands down his face as he recants.
The parallels between her and Sasuke are undeniable, and the knowledge of his readiness to be with her despite the severe consequences speaks to him on a profound level. A humbling realization he once thought lacked in Sasuke that paves way for the notion that maybe their happiness is worth more to him than begrudgingly clinging on to past grievances.
The internal struggle slowly subsides as he reflects on his own commitments, then as he looks down at Hinata's hands still outstretched together as if they're already bound in cuffs, his expression softens, and he releases a faint laugh.
"You'd think this stubbornness would pass with age. This is all your mother's doing."
"I don't think she'd take that statement lying down," she responds slightly upbeat.
"You're likely correct, perhaps it runs in the family… But when did you become so bold? You've always been soft spoken."
Her shoulders lift with her smile "I learned how to alternate. Incredible isn't it?"
He nods "It is, it is," He leans forward while glaring at Sasuke "Be honest Hinata, think clearly, was he prepared to take the fall solely for you?"
She replies in a sober tone "Father you've seen what he's like, there's no other way he'd give up without a fight. He made a good attempt to annul it on good terms but I wouldn't let him have his way."
"Clearly a specialty of yours."
"I learned from the best."
Hinata giggles and as he watches her beam, Hiashi cracks another smile, slowly coming to terms with the verity of their situation.
He gently grips her fingers "Well then, at least not all my efforts were lost, you've grown quite passionately resolute. Though I've heard far more than I would have liked to."
She ducks sheepishly, concealing her blush "I won't change my mind. You won't conquer me even if we're divided."
He takes a firmer grasp "Figures, nonetheless, I'd never allow harm to fall upon you, you're still my little girl no matter how 'adult' you become, so…" He adds reticently "Maybe… We can reach some sort of compromise."
"Really?" she replies with a luminous gaze
He nods once "I'll dismiss this takeover but I'm keeping your shares Uchiha, consider it probation as it would be besmirching to welcome you when you still endorse a cesspit of corrosive practices, so I expect you to act upon them just as I expect only good for my daughter henceforth, agreed?"
"Yes… Sir," He says softly, accepting the stalemate respectfully "I know you're not fond of me b-"
"No, what gave it away?"
Sasuke puts on a pensive expression "I can't fault you for it because we got off on the wrong foot, but believe it or not I am trying to be better. Hina means everything to me and I still have a lot to make up for, so trust me I will do right by her. You have my word."
Hiashi observes him with a stern mien "For your sake, I hope so," he remarks with a hint of compassion.
The moment brings an end to years of animosity, and though it's still a long road ahead, it's now one both are motivated to travel alongside free of overt contempt.
Then without another word, Hiashi stands and moves forward and tenderly pulls Hinata into a tight hug filled with fatherly warmth "You should know that I've always meant well for you."
She embraces him longingly "I know, but you need to spare some understanding sometimes too."
"I'll try from now on," He pulls away, adding casually "You feel thinner, I hope you ate well after your… Ahem, it's draining more than you know, or so I've been told."
Hinata squirms "Oh god father, no I don't need to- let's not- no."
He embraces her again as she writhes with cringe after getting a taste of her own medicine, and as Hiashi chuckles from her reaction, his eyes remain daggers aimed right at Sasuke who in turn ping-pongs his around the room to avoid direct contact.
Soon, Sasuke excuses himself, and after a few more minutes of soulful bonding, Hiashi and Sasuke send each other off with hesitant smiles. Now after years lost in unresolved conflict, the fists of vindictiveness uncurl and wave, signaling a poignant turning point in their acrimonious strife that promises to mend their friction as the family ventures into a hopeful chapter of healing.
