Chapter Eight: Brownies
So here it is, Chapter 8. I don't own the following characters mentioned in this story. Kishimoto is the owner of these characters and most likely will always be. Well enjoy! :)
Previously:
That's the difference between you and me, U-U-Uchiha-san" She finished, letting her hold on his wrist lighten. Rolling off his unmoving figure, she fell on the ground next to him. Staring at his ceiling until she felt the need to sit up. Her eyes travelled to his body, up and down. Stopping at the bottom of his feet, where a puddle of blood laid. She sigh softly, standing up from the ground.
"U-U-Uchiha-san, I need to cleanse your bottom feet"
"Gomen'nasai!" Hinata voiced shamefully, bowing deeply. Her figure facing the sitting Uchiha who sat on his couch. His dark onyx eyes roamed her body, from her shaky legs, to her clenched and tightening knuckles. To her oversized sweater covering her body like a blanket and lastly to her long and bluish hair. It looks rather soft- Wait what?! He shook his head repeatedly, inhaling deeply. I've must've hit my head pretty hard yesterday. He claimed.
"Hyuga" He said loudly, earning Hinata's attention. She turned to look at him. Her eyes shinning with regret and her mouth in a firm line. She stood straight, letting her hair fall back as some stands fell to her sides.
"Y-Y-Yes?" She stuttered. Her blinking eyes staring at Sasuke. His own pair of eyes, unlike hers couldn't help but stare at her hair, The way her hair frames her face and gives it a seemingly feminine shape. The way her dark colored hair makes her skin look pale white and soft. Or how her hair appears to be perfectly brushed and holds a shine to it. Almost, as if I can run my fingers through her hair and-
"U-U-Uchiha-san, are you okay? You don't look very well, you seem a bit dazed and distracted" Hinata asked softly in a very small voice. With the sound of her voice, Sasuke immediately drifted away from his abstracted mind. He shook his head lightly, clearing his throat.
"I was just-" The unexpected hallow echo of a 'thud' against his door, interrupted him. He almost growled if it wasn't for the fact that Hinata instantly apologized before briskly making her way towards his door. From the living room, he could hear the door opening and Hinata's small voice. He raised an eyebrow when he heard her yelp, as she if she was taken by total surprise. Which made him confused. Reluctantly and with unwillingness he got off his couch. Slowly advancing towards his front door.
"Daichi-san!" Hinata voiced, her tone filled with astonishment. "W-W-What are you doing here?" She asked, completely taken back from shock.
"I decided to stop by and surprise you with a gift" He began with a joyful tone, before taking his hands away from his back. "I hope you like them" Daichi said cheerfully, his smile wide. His arm extended towards her, handing a bouquet of flowers. Her eyes went wide when she was handed the flowers and was very hesitant to accept them. But he grabbed her hand, and placed the flowers on her hand. His chocolate brown eyes were warm and filled with a different type of happiness.
"T-T-The flowers, they are-" She stopped, she gazed at the amazing flowers. Completely taken by surprised, she was stun and utterly speechless. "T-T-They are really beautiful" She mumbled softly, a deep blush decorating her cheeks.
"I hope you like them, they're from both me, Mavis and Kirito. But Kirito insisted on paying for them," He said joyfully, earning a light giggle from Hinata.
"I love them, Domo arigatogozaimashita. Please tell them, that I really love them and I'm extremely thankful" Hinata happily said, smiling brightly.
"Well I also came to give you this," Daichi said, looking through the shopping bag he held. Taking out, what appeared to be a ointment from the bag. He hand it to her. "It's for the boy that was injured yesterday. I felt the need to-"
"I don't need it" A deep and cold voice said from behind. Both figures turned around to see Sasuke standing there. Hinata flinched slightly, when she noticed the close distance she and him were both in. She slowly moved away from him, but was automatically stopped by a firm hand on her arm. Keeping her completely still. Her eyes travelled to her lower arm to find Sasuke's hand on her arm. She frowned, confused yet happy. She couldn't help but smile faintly but shook it off, noticing the tensed atmosphere.
"It's not a matter of you thinking you don't need it, but a matter of-" Cutting him off with his coldly tone, Sasuke held a tighter grip on Hinata's arm.
"Not wanting it" He argued back, continuing with Daichi's unfinished sentence.
"I insist, you don't appear to-"
"I don't need it!" He repeated a bit loudly. Hinata's body tensed when she felt his nails go in her skin. "Leave" He uttered angrily, glaring at the man in front of him. Daichi stare at Hinata and kept his eyes on her. With Sasuke's eyes following his every move, and his patience growing thin. He clenched his teeth tightly."I believe I was loud and clear, so what exactly are you still doing here?!" Sasuke angrily asked, obviously irritated. His hold on Hinata only tightening more. She would've winced if it wasn't for the fact that Daichi bowed.
"I'm sorry to have been a annoyance to you, I will take my leave." He stated, his voice suddenly changing to a monotone one. His eyes no longer warm and bright, but dull and cold. I don't understand Hinata thought confusingly. Her eyes roamed Daichi's body and face, concern for him. "Goodbye Hinata, have a good day." He smiled. "Goodbye and sorry for-" Sasuke extremely enraged and irked, pulled Hinata inside his apartment. Slamming the door rather harshly on Daichi. Hinata being pulled so suddenly, tripped over the small rug. Causing the bouquet of flowers to fall from her hands and on the floor. She would have also fell if it wasn't for the fact that Sasuke, just in time managed to catch her. His arms went around her lower back and her left shoulder. Her eyes were wide yet his seemed unfazed. Considering the fact that just moments ago his eyes held a angry look, this made Hinata confused.
"A-A-Arigatou, Uchiha-san." Hinata thankfully said. Her eyes gazed right into his dark onyx eyes, her cheeks growing warm. He's so close Her mind kept constantly repeating, making her breathing hitch. A werid sensation formed in the pit of her stomach went off. His eyes, their so beautiful. Her cheeks redden by such silly thoughts. His arms around her lower back held her a little tighter, she felt so small comapred to his built figure. The length of her hair, caressing his exposed arms. The urged hit him like the need to punch the guy from earlier today. The urged to touch her hair. Slowly, without breaking eye contract. The arm holding her left shoulder went lose, slowly advancing it's way to her soft hair. Just one touch, He thought. His hand, with just a few centimeters away from her hair and the lack of movement from her, encouraged him. He softly touched a piece of stand of her long hair from the side of her face. So soft, He thought, completely amazed. Very slowly he played with her bluish hair, the strands of her long locks. Within a close radius to her face, he could smell the lavender scent coming from her. Weather it was from her hair or her regular scent he never knew. He just shrugged it off, as he continued to play with her hair. Enjoying the feeling of it against his fingers, and without intending to, his finger slightly stroke her soft cheek. The softness of her skin, felt amazing to him. Such soft hair, such soft skin. Loving how her skin felt, he couldn't help but caress her left cheek over and over again with his thumb.
"Gomen'nasi!" Daichi's loud voice, brought Hinata out of her foggy mind. Her eyes widen, and her blush deepen. Sasuke must have also realized what he was doing, because one moment he was holding her and the next thing Hinata knew she fell to the ground. Hitting her head against the floor, with a loud bang.
"Ow!" She winced in pain, the back of her head hurting really bad. She shut her eyes closed, as her hands held her head. Sasuke, realizing what he did. His eyes widen and he almost instantly felt bad? He shook his head, and held his hand out. Hinata who opened her eyes, saw his extending hand and felt really embarrassed and nervous? She shook her head, quickly standing up. Only to make her head hurt more, and her vision become dizzy and a bit blurry with the sudden movement.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked, seeing the different emotions dance around her face. Hinata held in the urge to wince, and nod her head.
"I-I-It's okay, I'm fine." She said, blinking rapidly, trying to adjust her vision. Seeing Sasuke with only two steps away, Hinata couldn't help but take two steps back. Hearing a small crunching sound from beneath her feet. Her eyes averted from Sasuke's chest to the floor beneath her. The bouquet of flowers she said worriedly, bending down to retrieve the flowers. She took them in her hands and dust them off. Her eyes roamed the flowers, checking for any damage only to find the bottom stems bent. She sigh in relief with a soft smile on her face. Good, they aren't damaged, she smiled happily, hugging the flowers a bit too tightly.
"Those flowers, did he give them to you?" Sasuke asked, feeling slightly angry. Hinata trying her best to avoid eye contact with his almost glaring eyes, looked downwards.
"Y-Y-Yes" She replied softly, her grip on the flowers only tightening.
"Throw them-" Stopping him, she replied.
"I'll go start lunch" She hurriedly said, briskly making her way to his kitchen. Leaving Sasuke standing in the same spot, with clenched fist. His mind repeatedly asking Why am I feeling so, angry? Why am I angry? Those questions confused him, and yet he felt that they were important to know the answers to. He bit his bottom lip, clenching his knuckles tightly. Rolling his eyes annoyingly, not enjoying the emotions. Whatever, He thought, making his way to his living room. Shrugging everything aside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everything was silent, the only sound that could be heard was the water, as Hinata rinsed her hands. The page turning, of Sasuke's new book as he read quietly. And the bird chirping outside of Sasuke's window. With the water coming to a halt, Hinata placed the cut pork on a pan. Sasuke took his tea and placed it in between his lips. Taking in the scent of green tea. His left hand still holding onto the book, set it down on top of his lap. Taking a sip of his tea, before setting it down on the table. Grabbing his book from his lap, continuing to read as all stood silent once again.
Fifteen minutes later Hinata placed the chopped lettuce in a bowl, placing it inside the refrigerator. As she continued to make lunch, while waiting for her brownies to finish baking.
Sasuke growing bored of his book, closed it shut after marking his place. He slowly stood up, even though he didn't show it. His feet and fist hurt really bad, but he would always shove the pain aside like always does. He steadily made his way to his room, to retrieve his weapon pouch. Taking his sharpening tool out as he took a seat on his couch like before. Slowly taking his time to sharpen his weapons, until he was satisfied.
"Oi!" Kakashi, the silver haired man said. Popping inside Sasuke's apartment by the opened window. Sasuke who at the time was sharpening his Kunai. Immediately dropped the weapon, with his Sensei's grand arrival.
"Have you not heard of a door before?" Sasuke asked irritated, bending over to pick up his weapon. Kakashi shook his head, making his way to Sasuke's couch. Plopping himself next to him, as he leaned back.
"This is nice" Kakashi mumbled, closing his eyes in complete bliss.
"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked, eyeing his sensei. Kakashi who made no regards to speak, simply hummed a peaceful tone."Oi! I asked you what-"
"K-K-Kakashi-Sensei?" Hinata's soft voice asked rather surprised. Appearing in the living room, with a plate of brownies in her hands. Kakashi upon hearing the voice of a girl in Sasuke's apartment completely opened his eyes. His eyes and head turning to look at the girl a few inches away. Hinata Hyuga He thought amused, a soft smile on his face. Who would've thought He grinned, leaning forward. Hinata set the plate of brownies on the small coffee table, as she cleaned her hand on the small apron around her waist. Coming closer to introduce herself to Kakashi, Sasuke's Sensei.
"H-H-How have you been, Kakashi-Sensei?" Hinata politely asked, a soft smile on her delicate features. Kakashi rising to his feet, moved closer to Hinata. His tall figure covering her from Sasuke's view. He was smiling really wide, Hinata could make out the features from behind his covering mask. Patting her head gently, Kakashi hugged Hinata. Taking both Hinata and Sasuke by surprise.
"Oh I've been great! I could see your doing fine Hinata-chan" He replied loudly, grinning happily. "So Sasuke eh?" Kakashi smirked, completely amazed. "It's funny really, I always thought you liked-" Sasuke jumping from his couch, growled. Pulling Kakashi away from Hinata's blushing figure.
"Really Kakashi?" Sasuke asked, amazed by his Sensei. He inhaled deeply.
"You must be the jealous type, eh?!" Kakashi chuckled, eyeing Sasuke with wiggling eyebrows. "There's no need to worry my fellow student, I would never-" Cutting him off, Sasuke took a hold of Kakashi book.
"Hey that's my-"
"You'll get it back once you leave," Sasuke threaten. Kakashi glared at his fellow student. Shaking his head, while patting Hinata's small head.
"Well, this is goodbye Hinata-chan" Kakashi said inhaling deeply, "I'll come back and vist-"
"No you won't" Sasuke interrupted. Tapping his foot impatiently, Sasuke frowned. "Well what are you still doing here?" Sasuke asked annoyed.
"I'm leaving already" Kakashi said, backing away from Hinata. About to walk away until Hinata stopped him. Placing a firm hand on Kakashi's arm.
"K-K-Kakashi-Sensei, would you like some brownies I made for Sasuke?" Hinata asked with a soft smile, her eyes warm.
"For Sasuke?" Kakashi repeated, completely puzzled. Last time I heard, this kid hates sweets. Kakashi thought, absolutely muddled. He looked down, noticing a plate of freshly made brownies on top of Sasuke's coffee table. They do look rather delicious, they even smell great. Kakashi thought impressed, taking in the scent of the brownies. Peanut butter with chocolate? That's an interesting combination He thought, eyeing the set of brownies.
"Y-Y-Yes" She confirmed. Kakashi who at this point was looking at her brownies changed the direction of her eyes to Hinata.
"Sasuke, you made him brownies?" He questioned, slowly.
"H-H-Hai!" Hinata replied with a smile, Kakashi cleared his throat.
"Um Hinata-chan, Sasuke here doesn't like-" With a hand over his mouth, Sasuke stopped Kakashi from uttering anything else. He grabbed Kakashi by his collar and elbowed him on his ribs. Kakashi shoving the aching pain from his ribs away, smirked.
"Well actually, I would like-"
Sasuke cut him off, growing unpleasantly impatient.
"Kakashi, just leave" Sasuke uttered.
"But I-"
"Leave" Sasuke demanded.
"Well alright then. Gomen Hinata-chan, maybe some other time." Kakashi said, extending his hand to Sasuke. Sasuke rolled his eyes, handing him his book. I don't understand how he can read that junk, Sasuke thought. Kakashi took the book, placing it inside his pouch. Making his way to the front door when he suddenly stop. He turned around, facing Hinata with hid thumbs up. "You'll make an excellent wife one day, isn't that right Sasuke?" Kakashi asked him in a teasingly manner, turning around to face his furious student. Such a small temper. Kakashi frowned playfully. Sasuke stalking his way towards Kakashi, grabbed him by the collar of his vest. "Hinata-chan, your even glowing! Wait! Did you and Sasuke already-"
"You pervert!" Sasuke yelled out, shoving Kakashi outside the door. Kakashi laughed the whole way out, waving goodbye.
"G-G-Glowing?" Hinata confusingly asked, her gaze shifting to Kakashi and Sasuke. W-W-Wife?! She thought nervously, her cheeks grew warm.
Pushing Kakashi outside, Sasuke stepped out as well. Closing his front door shut. Outside, Sasuke took three steps away from his Sensei with his arms crossed over his front chest. Tapping his feets impatiently, waiting for him to talk.
"Well?" Sasuke asked, irritated at the view of his laughing Sensei. Kakashi still insanely laughing wiped his tears away, when he noticed Sasuke growing frustration.
"I never knew you had a girlfriend Sasuke," Kakashi chuckle happily taking in a deep breath. Trying his best to recompose himself. Pointing to the front door, he smiled "Much less Hinata-chan"
"What are you trying to get at?" Sasuke asked.
"Well she's Hinata and your Sasuke, she innocent and your well you" Kakashi pointed out, a grin displayed on his features. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, his anger escalating.
"So you think I'm not good enough for her?" Sasuke asked. Kakashi took a step back, waving his hands repeatedly in front of him.
"No, I didn't mean it like that I just meant that-" Sasuke cut him off,
"Whatever" He replied, rolling his eyes. "Just inform me of the reason you came here for" Sasuke asked annoyed. Kakashi clearing his head, and shaking off the earlier events. Cleared his throat before, speaking in a serious manner.
"Well the thing is that, Lady Tsunade has informed me to come over and advice you to stay low."
"Stay low?" He asked.
"Yes and to treat her right" Kakashi quoted, confusion clearly on is face. Which slowly turned to a smile, then a smirk. "Which I assume is Hinata-chan. So the Hokage knew of this relationship then," Kakashi said, with a hand under his chin. Clearly dozing off. Sasuke growled angrily.
"And?" Sasuke questioned. Kakashi shook his head, and continued on.
"She also informed me to ask you to come over and meet up with her first thing tomorrow morning" Kakashi replied. Sasuke sighed deeply, nodding his head in understatement. Agreeing, he rubbed his temples.
"Is that all boozer wants?" He asked, clearly irritated. Kakashi raised an eyebrow.
"Boozer?" Kakashi asked confused.
"It's a person who drinks large quantities of alcohol" He replied nonchalantly. "In other words, my nickname for the old hag" Sasuke replied in a monotone.
"Oi, Sasuke that's not very nice. She's the-"
"If your done, you can leave now. I don't need any of your lectures about respecting my elders." He added, "I already hear enough from Naruto" he mumbled softly. Kakashi sighed.
"Alright then, that is all" He proclaimed. Sasuke rolled his eyes, turning around only to be stop by the sound of Kakashi voice.
"You should try one" Kakashi voiced from behind Sasuke's figure. Sasuke turned around, looking at his teacher confusingly.
"Try what?" Sasuke asked, eyeing his teacher strangely.
"A brownie that Hinata's made for you, I mean they look pretty delicious. They must also taste amazing," Kakashi suggested. "Besides, knowing you, you probably throw them away or just leave them there" Kakashi claimed.
"That doesn't concern you" Sasuke responded, ticked off.
"Does Hinata-chan know of your dislike for sweets?" Kakashi curiously asked, his left hand under his chin.
"No and she clearly doesn't need to know either" Sasuke clearly stated, opening the front of his door.
"But she's your-"
"She's not my girlfriend and most certainly won't ever be" Sasuke uttered. Kakashi raised an eyebrow, confusion written on his face.
"Then why is she-"
"That's none of your business" He answered, annoyed. Without much thought he entered his apartment, shutting the door behind him.
"Hm" Kakashi stood standing, gazing at Sasuke's front door and gazing back at the window a few inches. I'll bug him about it later, now to do some reading He thought happily, walking away. Making his way back to the Hokage tower, with a book in front of him.
As Sasuke entered his living room, and made his way to his couch. He sat down and leaned back, Kakashi's words replaying in his head. "You should try one" Sasuke growled, thinking. Am I actually considering it? He asked himself, unable to believe that he was actually thinking about it. This is insane He claimed, shaking his head disappointingly. His eyes slowly averting to the plate of brownies. He raised an eyebrow, and frowned. Sighing in deeply, he leaned in closer to his coffee table. He slowly raised one of his hands and moved it tentatively towards the plate of untouched brownies. Hesitantly, he took one. He almost drop it when he felt his fingers covered with chocolate frosting, but he held on to it. For the sake of his cleaned and polished floors. He exhaled, clenching his teeths together as he brought the brownie closed to his face."A brownie that Hinata's made for you." Kakashi voice rang through his head, almost in a sing a long voice. The scent of sweet chocolate intoxicated his mouth, he almost gagged. I hate chocolate, the smell the taste it's all unbearable. Slowly and hesitantly he inhaled, opening his mouth slightly."They must taste amazing" He swallowed and promptly shoved the entire brownie inside his mouth. He could taste it. The chocolate, and the peanuts. He gagged on the sweetness and sugary taste of the brownie. Such repulsive taste! His hands searched for a napkin in the coffe table, to only come out empty handed. With his mouth closed and puffed up, he took off running to his nearest bathroom. He slammed the door open, and threw out all the sugary treat inside the small trash can. He choked on the taste, feeling utterly disgusted. With his mouth empty and the lingering taste still inside his displeased cavern. He turned to his sink, and took out his tooth brush and tooth paste from the cup. He spilled a good amount of toothpaste on his tooth brush and commence to brush his teeths. He brushed up and down, and side by side. Even when he was finished he added more toothpaste and brushed his mouth much harder in a fast speed.
"U-U-Uchiha-san, is everything okay?" Hinata asked, knocking softly on the slightly opened door. All she received were grunts and the sound of running water, taking a deep breath she went inside the bathroom. Sasuke stood in front of his mirror, brushing his mouth furiously with an anger expression written on his face. This concerned her.
"W-W-What happened?" Hinata asked confusingly, leaning on the door slightly. She waited patiently, and when he finally stop and set his things aside. He rinsed his mouth and turned around, his black onyx eyes stare right into her white tint lavender eyes.
"Brownies" He said nonchalantly, face as expressionless as always. Hinata confusingly sighed, unsure of what he meant by brownies.
"E-E-Excuse me, but I don't-"
"Nothing" He mumbled, shaking his head slightly. He inhaled then exhaled, before shoving passed her and walking away. Hinata blinked repeatedly, pouting faintly.
