Stitching the Gaps

26. Don't Tear Away

"It's so cold out here. Where are we going?" The blonde teen rubbed his hands together and exhaled hot air on them. The raven boy who's ahead of him rolled his eyes. He stopped walking and faced his best friend.

"I'm going home. You can fuck around for all I care."

"What!? I thought we were going to hangout today!? C'mon man! We never-" An icy cold snowball hit the back of his head. He turned around to see an out of breath Yamanaka girl. His eyes widen.

"Shit." Naruto muttered under his breath.

"Who forgets to hang out with their GIRLFRIEND!?" Ino screamed. In a blur, flashes of yellow zoomed through the busy white streets of Konoha. Sasuke was finally at peace until he felt someone next to him. He sides glanced and what surprised him was the little Hyuga girl, bundled up with her long beige coat and red scarf.

She was so close to him that their arms were brushing against each other. Somehow, Sasuke felt a bit awkward from how close the two now. He would move but that would make it even more complicated.

What?

No. No. Why would the Uchiha think that it would be complicated? Sasuke shook his thoughts out of his mind before it gets too extreme.

"Hello." She cut the awkward silence. Sasuke fixed his hoodie.

"Hey."

The air silent between the two. Neither of them spoken after that. Only stood there watching the world before them.

"Those two need some work."

"Agreed." The power couple peeked on the side of the building at the raven and indigo teens. They came around to meet the two ahead.

"Let's go somewhere together. Just to pass time before we head home." Ino wrapped her arms around Hinata's and Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke sighed, making Hinata giggle. Sasuke shot Hinata a look to make her stop but she kept on giggling.

The four found their way at the movie theaters. Naruto dragged Ino to the front but she stopped him saying they'll go blind. Naruto complained for a while until he figured that she has a point. They sat at the back corner. Sasuke was going to follow them but Hinata already seated herself.

Well done, Hinata. Ino cheered in her head.

Sasuke shrugged and sat next to her. The lights dimmed as the movie goes through the opening scene of a forest. Mysterious music creeps in the speakers on the side of the room. Popcorn in her hand shivered.

"Sas-Sasuke, what movie is-is this?" Hinata asked. Sasuke smirked. He tilts his head to the side to whisper in her ear the title of the movie. His lips were so close to her blushing ear.

"The Crazy." His breathe brushed her ear and cheek. She slightly turned her head to look at him. He caught her close gaze. Big mistake she ever made.

Popcorn exploded on the two face. The tall teen jumped up, shaking off the popcorn off his pants and hair. Hinata tries to apologize but the audience shushed them from all that ruckus. As the scene of the movie got too intense to scare the crowd, Sasuke pulled Hinata out of the room to the lobby. He didn't bother to interfere with the blondes since they were pretty occupied.

Hinata threw the bucket in the trash and headed to the bathroom to try to get rid of the buttery smell. As much as he hates butter, he didn't want to go to a public bathroom to do the same. So, he just waited for her.

Hands stuffed in his jacket pockets, hoodie hood shielding parting his face, face blank as paper with no words. Look bad and mysterious as always, he caught someone eye.
