She was walking in front of him. And he was watching her back. her hair moved with every step she took . shining under the escaped light from the gathered clouds. Then it's stopped as she stopped at the gate looking back to him waiting for him to get closer "Sasuke-kun I will give the report to kakashi-sama... you should head home have a nice evening " she didn't wait for his answer and turned to leave.. but hinata could hear his steps behind her and he could see how she was looking over her shoulders.. but he kept walking.. he waited for her to stop and turned to him but she didn't not until they were only 10 minutes far from the hokage's building she turned "Sasuke-kun why are yo—" she pressed her lips together when he passed her . The she turned and watched him turn left to the old building besides the hokage's. Then she slapped her mouth. She forgot he was living there besides the hokage's building. now she need to apologize to him.. Sasuke missed how she covered her red face with her palms embarrassed by her actions and hinata missed the smirk on his lips when He passed her.

Sasuke opened his eyes slowly. Pressing them hard again so the headache would fade away. Then he realized the dark brown ceiling. This isn't his place. Before he could find the energy to sit up he felt a hand touching his cheeks and a figure appeared over him sasuke watched her eyes grew wide when she realized he was awake. "Sasuke-kun! Thank god you're awake" she helped him sat. "How are you feeling now?" He didn't answer. He just looked around him to know where he was and hinata seems to notice so "This is me and naruto's room" he frown at that he didn't like how she said both of their name together "How did you bring me here?" She looked at him confused "Sasuke-kun you don't remember anything?" His eyes met hers " what?" She giggled and that made him more confused ,worried and nervous. He shut his eyes close trying to remember anything.. and then a little by little everything came back to his head and he remembered calling her name before everything went dark. He sighed and covered his face hiding his embarrassment and hearing her giggles wasn't helping him. "It's the first time you call me by my name" he looked from behind his palm to her. She was smiling and busy with her fingers " I loved it more than hyuga" she was trying to tell him to call her hinata instead of hyuga and he wouldn't mind that. But he couldn't the feelings that came after he said her name quietly made it hard for him. How could he if this damn thing won't stop beating fast inside there. "Ah sasuke-kun here please eat so you could take your medicines" she helped him with his lunch "Naruto?" She looked up then realized what he was asking " Naruto-kun can't be here today he is busy " he didn't say anything else and when he finished she gave him his medicine. And was about to stand he spoke " your hair" she looked at him confused he was pointing at her hair " you cutted it?" She held the end of her hair and smiled "you noticed? Yeah I did. It was growing long and would stand on the way and I wanted a new look so..." he laid down again and mumbled "long hair suits you better " then fell asleep

Naruto dragged him out of his place saying that all the teams were gathering at akimichi's restaurant. It was cold outside. He ,naruto, kiba, shino, shikamaru, sai and lee were walking together to the restaurant. Kiba and naruto were chatting while shino commented few times and shikamaru smirked when shino success in annoying kiba by his facts and sai smiled alongside with them. He himself was walking in silence until they reached the place "Where are sakura-chan and the others?" His idiot friend asked and shikamaru answered him "ino said they would be late" "why?" Shikamaru shrugged and ignored him. minutes after that they heard a voice calling them "oooiiiii" ino was waving to them holding hinata's arm while sakura and tenten chatted. When they met with the boys. There was something all the girls shared. Ino was wearing a purple bracelet and sakura was wearing pink one and tenten wore the red one. Ino held her hands showing hers " do you guys like it? It's handmade by hinata" she started shaking her hands making noise by the beads. Then sakura continued "Today is hanabi's Birthday and hinata gave us these as gifts" hinata then opened the dark purple bag she was holding "i made something for you guys as well" she went to shikamaru and gave him brown scarf " thank you hinata" he smirked and she gave lee the green one and he gave her a thumbs up " thank you so much hinata-chan" she smiled and gave shino the blue one and kiba the gray one they both thanked her but kiba was the only one who gave her a hug " tell hanabi happy birthday" she nodded and gave sai his and stood in front of naruto she didn't gave him like the others she actually tiptoe and wrapped it around his neck and in return he said in a calm voice with a smile on his lips "thank you hinata-chan And happy birthday to hanabi" she nodded and looked at him longer then moved to sasuke she reached inside the bag and held his black one. "This is for you sasuke-kun" she said the last part of his name in almost a whisper. An idea popped inside his head and the uchiha didn't waste any time to do it. He didn't take it from her he kept his hands inside his pockets and watched her looking up at him then he smirked a little. Hinata took a minutes before she understand what he meant. Then again she tiptoe and wrapped the scarf around his neck trying her hardest to focus on her hands. But how could she when the uchiha drew that smirk on his lips ,staring at her when she did that she was afraid that someone would see them but they were all busy with chatting and catching up with each other. They held each other's stare for a seconds and were interrupted when naruto yelled "let's go we need to celebrate" sakura rolled her eyes " there is nothing to celebrate about" then they all went meeting choji inside

He woke up again only this time the headache was gone and this time the room was darker only the bedside lamp was the only light in the room he looked to his right and saw hinata.. she was reading a book. Was it too late? The first question that came to him..before he find the answer he felt the back of her hand on his cheek. Then to the other one ,she was checking his temperature. Finally her hand rested on his forehead then slowly she began playing with his hair. Running her fingers on his skin. He glanced at her she wasn't aware of his gaze she was still focused on the book she was reading. He watched her face change its expression sad, happy,mad and worried. If hours passed he wouldn't notice he was busy anyway. He watched her slowly closing her eyes after she fought the sleepiness before finally giving up and she slept with in the same position. When he made sure she was sleeping he reached for her to fix her to sleep more comfortably. As soon as he laid her head down he couldn't resist watching her peaceful features. Her eyes were closed he could see how her body raised and fell every time she took a breath. Sasuke moved strands of hair from her face then his dark eyes fell on her pink lips they were parted slightly to let the breath out. Sasuke found his thumb running over them. Then he lost all the control he had and lowered his head to capture her lips by his.
