She had cried for the injustice the Uchiha had suffered. For what Sasuke had suffered. And for what exactly? Something was rotten in the village. How had it been possible that no one saw anything the night of the tragedy, when there was a whole clan with all seeing eyes?
How many times had Sasuke asked himself the same questions?
She dried her cheeks with her hand.
"I would understand if you hated my family...and me."
Hinata looked at Sasuke but his expression was painfully soft. He kneeled beside her.
"If it was so easy...If hating you could bring back my whole clan...I couldn't do it."
They had been sparring regularly. He was way better at kenjutsu. Her taijutsu forms were better than his, and she could easily see through all his genjutsu illusions. They were pretty even in ninjutsu, but in terms of raw power he was the best between them. He never seemed to hesitate and she liked that about him. He always did his best, believing she could take it. He was daring. She envied his confidence more than his strength. They always sparred without their doujutsu.
She still wasn't sure what he was gaining from their sessions but she for sure, was learning a lot. She had become way more limb with all the dodging she had to do to avoid being hit by giant shurikens and lighting attacks.
Hinata jumped to evade a rain of kunai. She saw him bending his knees preparing to jump and pin her down while she was still in mid air. She acted without really thinking.
Boar. Horse. Tiger.
She felt hot chakra first in her throat, then in her mouth, and instinctively opened her mouth to expel a flame. It became an orb, expanding and exploding right in front of Sasuke.
She knew he could take it.
She came down, rolled forward in the wake of the fireball and when the flames cleared she had a kunai at her opponent's throat.
Sasuke hadn't moved. He was smiling widely, looking at her, his eyes shining with something akin to excitement. Hinata almost dropped the kunai as her heart skipped a beat.
"I thought Kakashi was the copy ninja."
"I-I just took some inspiration from you..."
"I thought the Hyuga didn't use nature releases."
Hinata lowered the kunai and shrugged: "The Hyuga are really proud of the gentle fist. Working on it and the Byakugan are our main focus."
He gently touched her face and Hinata wondered again at his happy smile.
"It's incredible you managed to make a decent fireball on the first try. When I learned this jutsu I burned my cheeks."
"I hope I have better chakra control than you as a baby..."
He snorted "Yeah you just incinerated all the flowers nearby."
Hinata's head snapped to look around her.
"What? Oh no!!! The angelicas!!"
"Those are not just wild flowers?"
She checked on the charred stems.
"It's a medicinal plant! It's used as an anti inflammatory-"
I love you in every universe…
I love your creativity
I love your history
I love your resilience
Almost a millennium and you still exist; you moved from forums to DeviantArt, Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter—you never faded away.
Yes, I love you.
The Hokage had judged their abilities complementary enough to be a two man cell for a bodyguard mission. Hinata was a nice teammate to have. She was capable and didn't seem to mind his silences. Everything had gone smoothly and on the way back to Konoha they had cut through a forest instead of the long way around it. Night was falling already but they decided to look for a place to camp by the water. The trees let way to smaller plants and bushes. Ferns were everywhere and soon they came to a waterfall and a lake.
Sasuke recognised the place. "I've come with my team here once before"
Hinata nodded, she seemed to familiar with the place as well.
They scouted the place.
"Naruto told me that last time he came here as a genin he saw a water fairy dancing in the moonlight..."
"A fairy!?"
Sasuke snorted at Hinata's incredulous tone. "What, a girl like you doesn't believe in magic?"
He turned to see her face, but instead of the stoic Hyuga expression she made when they disagreed, she was blushing deeply.
Interesting.
"So, you don't think we will see the fairy dancing tonight?"
"Definitely not!"
Sasuke laughed.
(I prefer the manga to the anime but this is a little ref to my favourite Hinata anime filler scene)
The Set Up: The chances of finding a lucky four leaf clover are supposed to be astronomical? Not when you activate the Byakugan. In the time it took for Sasuke to find one, Hinata cleared out the whole field, but she’ll happily share her haul with Sasuke, because she knows he could use some luck. Sasuke, however, though he doesn’t want to admit it, can already feel his fortunes improve.
Sasuke hadn't had the time to offer anything from the fridge, when he heard Hinata gasp loudly. She had gone towards the window, where he had stashed all of the greenery Naruto had given him. A handful of garlic sprouts, a small tomato plant and a little cactus were growing between the weeds the wind had carried on. She urged him to look. A big leafy lucky clover had appeared in the middle of it all.
"Luck is coming your way!!"
She exclaimed enthusiastically, a bit out of character. Sasuke found himself smiling.
AU: A university setting where Sasuke is an American football player and Hinata is a goth. They’ve only recently started dating, so they’re a bit shy, and their friends often tease them 🤭💙💜
It was a hot summer evening, and the preparation for the festival were going smoothly. Sasuke had volunteered to set up the fireworks, after all, the Uchiha were good with fire. He had found a quiet corner to rest and waive himself with a fan, when Hinata Hyuga appeared next to him from seemingly nowhere. He must have closed his eyes and fell asleep. She was all dolled up in an elegant kimono and a couple of small white flowers in her hair. She offered him a cold brew, "It's jasmine tea, not very sweet." she precised, clearly remembering his preference.
When he finished his drink she smiled politely, grabbed her tray and went to go away. "Will I see you at the festival? " he found himself ask stupidly.
A sweet smell was in the air.
Hinata's cheeks reddened a bit, but nodded: "I am looking forward to your fireworks!"
"Who would say that a couple of kisses would lead them to this situation. And poor Hinata can't with her heart accelerated. Sasuke's gaze makes her very shy"
I imagine a modern AU where Hinata is the neglected daughter of the wealthy Hyuga family, and Sasuke is a boy from the fallen Uchiha clan.
In high school, Sasuke was a violent brawler abandoned by his family, but Hinata—the quiet girl at school—was there for him. 🫣.
@sasuhinamonth
However, after high school, Hinata was buried in her studies when, one evening, Sasuke broke into the Hyuga estate; wounded, he collapsed into Hinata's lap—a moment of respite.
