Happiness (SasuxHina)

The girl looked around furtively. Nobody was to be seen and relieved she emerged from behind the tree, behind which she had been hiding for quite a while. The dark blue-haired woman looked up briefly at the sky. It had gotten late, he had been training for a particularly long time today and she had been watching him the whole time. She liked it when he went down tired and after a few seconds sat up again full of energy. The girl knew it would be a phenomenon to see him so exhausted, because as soon as someone stepped onto the training ground, he took some kunai out of his holster and started aiming at the targets.
It was a wonder to her that he had never discovered her before. He should have felt her chakra, but Hinata went undetected. So she watched him evening after evening when he trained an extra round. She skipped the training with Neji, even if she really needed it. But she wanted to see him!The boy who just hasn't gotten out of her head for weeks. The boy who had piqued her interest, with his cool demeanor. The boy she was in love with. Hinata sighed softly. But she was too inconspicuous for him. Everyone knew him, Sasuke Uchiha, but no one, no girl had ever approached him. So why such an inconspicuous person like her? She pushed that thought aside. She didn't want to think that way. She wouldn't be any better with these thoughts. The Hyuga strode across the square at a quick pace and aimed at the bridge while walking. Here she had grown fond of him. Here on this bridge. When she was late for training one day because they forgot to tell her Team 7 and her team should go on a mission together. She didn't find out until much later. But Sasuke had been standing by this bridge and leaning over the wooden railing, staring into the water. He probably didn't know either and the others had set off without him.The river that flowed under the bridge glistened in the summer sunlight and a gentle wind brushed his hair. Hinata had looked at him and reconsidered his thoughtfulness. She didn't know why he seemed so depressed, but she didn't want to ask. So she had leaned over on the other side and was looking at the water from there. Sasuke had noticed her too, but he was silent. Everything had been clear to her from that moment. Sasuke was the one she had dedicated her heart to. If she wasn't happy with this realization in the beginning, she was now all the happier to just look at him. Pure joy flowed through her body when she saw his extremely rare smile, which only appeared when the Uchiha had defeated Naruto once again in a fair fight. She loved it. How he was to his friends. Even if he denied it, Sakura and Naruto were his best friends, which he unconsciously showed them over and over again, at least for the two of them.But Hinata saw it. She saw the person behind the facade who wanted to get rid of everything and everyone. The person who hoped for freedom in this cocoon. She loved this person. Sasuke Uchiha. Hinata Hyuga loved Sasuke Uchiha! She couldn't quite determine whether it was good or not, because the fact was, she couldn't know what he was feeling. Because they had relatively little to do with each other. He didn't even seem to be able to remember her name. He had never spoken to her by himself. So they almost never spoke to each other. Hinata suffered from that for the most part, but his very presence made up for it all.
The Hyuga crossed the bridge and closed her eyes. She wanted to listen to the rush of the brook, if only for a moment. She felt her pulse racing and suddenly she winced when she heard the squeak of the wood beneath her. She didn't want to open her eyes now, but felt for the railing and leaned over it, still keeping her eyes closed.She felt exactly that someone was near her and, suspecting, she bit her lip. 'It's Sasuke', were her thoughts. And it was true! The black-haired man stood silently on the wooden bridge, his hands buried in his trouser pockets and his gaze was directed to the floor. "Why were you watching me?", It came from him after a while and all of a sudden Hinata blushed. She leaned over so that her hair fell on her face, hiding the blush. She couldn't answer. She felt a lump in her throat. She wouldn't get a beep and her heart was beating faster and faster. She was already breaking into sweat. Her breathing became hard and she had to stretch her head towards the sky. It couldn't get any worse because she gasped for air. Silence lay over the two of them and only the chirping of the birds could be heard. Hinata made himself very small. 'I'll just pretend I didn't hear Sasuke,' she thought. But the Uchiha thought differently. "Why?"His position hadn't changed and he fell in love for so many minutes.
The silence became more and more oppressive for the Byakugan woman and a burden seemed to be on her shoulders. "I ..." she began, but her voice failed. 'I can not do this!'
Sasuke still didn't say anything. But he seemed thoughtful.
'I can't tell him, why and why. But I can't lie to him either .. '
"II .." she started again. She cleared her throat again and clapped her hands over her glowing face.
"Aren't you okay?" Sasuke said tonelessly. He looked up briefly, apparently he had been watching Hinata out of the corner of his eye the whole time. She pressed her hands to her face and cleared her throat one more time. "I-I-have-to-go," she muttered, turning to one side so as not to have to look him in the eye. 'Why is he speaking now when I have no strength to answer? '"Why do you just go now?"
She turned around automatically and put her hand over her mouth, as she always did when she was uncomfortable."I asked you a serious question. You are watching me. Do you really think I hadn't noticed?"
Hinata's eyes widened slightly. "II ... where-wanted ..."
Everything was spinning in her stomach and it seemed as if her legs were about to fail. Sasuke Uchiha, would she tell him?
"I-I-wanted-wanted-to-see-me-some-k-fighting tricks-from-you-you-abs-", she replied uncertainly. She just wasn't able to confess to him.
"That's called espionage," whispered the Uchiha and turned around.
"G-gomen .." Hinata took a few steps back and looked at Sasuke. 'I screwed everything up. I lied to him, I can't really ... 'But she couldn't stop the thought.
"Do you know what day today is", Sasuke simply replied.
Hinata looked up in surprise. "N-no .. which one?"
"It doesn't matter, from tomorrow ... you can come closer. Perhaps you will then be able to remember the finger signs better!"His form moved away and he ran towards the sunset. Hinata looked after him, perplexed. Her heart began to jump and the excitement made her stomach tingle." E-is it a T-dream? "Reluctantly she looked down at herself and then in Sasuke's direction. A happy smile crossed her face." Thank you! ", she called after him. She had never called anything after a boy, and especially not Sasuke. She hardly managed to get a reasonable sentence out. The Uchiha raised his hand in appreciation." What is he ...? "
What Hinata didn't know was that he wore a satisfied smile on his face.
