Stitching the Gaps

Small World

Haruhi begged Sasuke for two days straight to go to her bowling party. She passed him notes in class. Somehow got his number and filled his phone with text messages. Paid some sophomores to beg. Waited for him after class and try to talk to him but ended up bragging about herself and her party.

Sasuke was going crazy.

"Sasuke, you can't hide in under the table forever." Naruto pulled a book out from the shelf and read the title then put it back. Hinata frowned.

"The hell I can." He said. Ino squatted down to level with Sasuke. He was laying on the floor, under the table. He was at peace.

"This is crazy. Kurenai sensei going to beat you." She flicked Sasuke's forehead. Sasuke scrunched his face and turned over. A pair of feet came to view. Now it was Hinata to squat down.

"Why aren't you going?" She tilted her head to one side. Sasuke sighed.

"I don't like bowling." He said. Naruto bended down and crawled on Sasuke. Now he was facing Sasuke with a serious expression. Sasuke glared at him.

"Is it because last time we went, they were out of ketchup."

"Yeah."

"Will you go if I bring ketchup." Naruto smiled. Sasuke pushed Naruto off him and crawled out the table.

"Probably." He dusted his self and proceed on placing the books in their spots. Hinata got up and giggled.

"Is ketchup that important to you?" The short girl asked. Ino rolled her eyes. Where has Hinata been. Ino remembered the time Sasuke had a panic attack because his burger at Kono Burger confuse his order by using mayo then ketchup. Naruto had to switch with Sasuke so no ass wasn't kicked.

"Very." They said in unison. Hinata laughed. She blocked her laughter behind her arm to not disturb anyone in the room. She couldn't picture Sasuke's obsession with something like ketchup. Her stomach squeezed tightly.

Not realizing how close he is to her, Sasuke cornered her on the shelf. Her laughter died out instantly when his breath was inches away from her neck. The bridge of her nose and red cheeks glowed as his face leaned in to her face.

"You think it's funny." He whispered. Naruto and Ino unaware of what he said to the small Hyuga. The indigo headed girl slide her delicate hands on his chest. A ball of energy flipped around his chest as he felt her gentle touch.

Hinata looked at the objects around the room instead of eyes that were on her. Even his shadow hover swallowed her. Small feet couldn't step any further away. His height was intimidating her. She nodded her head trying hard to say what she wanted to say but it became suddenly dry.

"So this is what you guys be doing?" Ino and Naruto turned their head around to see Haruhi. Sasuke moved off Hinata, walking the opposite way from Haruhi. Hinata prevented him from leaving by holding onto the edge of his sweater vest. He growled.

"This place is for nerds. Anyway, I'm glad that you two can come to my party. Sasuke coming, right?! Right!?" She enhanced louder on the word 'right'. Some hushes were heard. She apologized.

He awkwardly turned around.

"I guess."

"Yay!" She jumped for joy and skipped towards him. Golden eyes locked on opals.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke stepped in front of Hinata.

"Go before I change my mind." Haruhi scowl looked flipped into a bright smile. She nodded her head and left the library. Ino and Naruto grinned.

"Such a man." Naruto cried. Ino laughed at the two raven headed teens. Hinata gasped, removing her hand from his clothing and backed away. Mumbling about something and went back to the stacked books on the cart. She turned to the corner and passed three aisles down. Stopping to calm down her beating heart.
