Third chapter

The next morning, at first light, a groaning Naruto turned himself to his left to cuddle his girlfriend. When his arms grabbed a pillow instead, his blue eyes fluttered open. Noticing the empty space besides him, he up righted himself, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. “Where’s Hinata?” he asked himself, until the memories of last night came flowing back to him. He knew he shouldn’t have reacted the way he did, but he couldn’t help it. The realization that Hinata didn’t want him the same way he wanted her made him sad and angry at the same time. He knew she loved him, so why didn’t she want to do this?

He could think of two reasons. The first one being her cheating on him, but he knew his shy, innocent Hinata would never do such disgraceful thing.

No, it must be the second one: she wasn’t attracted to him. And every time she rejected him, he was reminded of it.

It caused his male ego to shatter, but he couldn't blame her. It's been bruised long before, his heart broken into a million pieces.

*Flashback

Naruto was walking through the village, a huge grin plastered on his face. Villagers were muttering remarks as he passed, like usual, but he ignored them. Nothing could disturb the great mood he was in.

He and Sakura were now a pair! So why shouldn’t he be happy? This was what he has wanted all those years!

After he personally dragged Sasuke’s ass back to Konoha, Sakura was waiting for him in front of his apartment. With tears in her eyes she thanked him for bringing their teammate back, risking his life in the process. She was very emotional and out of nowhere her lips crashed with his.

Shortly after that they started dating and became a couple. She asked him to keep it a secret though, and Naruto agreed. He never really asked why, he was content with just being with her, being able to hold her hand, to cuddle her and occasionally he even gave her some soft kisses on the lips, without getting smacked on the head for it. And although he wanted scream from the rooftops, “I AM DATING SAKURA-CHAN!!”, if Sakura wanted this relationship to be private, he would do his best to let it remain that way.

Perhaps he was too naïve, too trusting.

When he arrived at her house, the place where they normally had their rendezvous ( he offered to meet at the apartment he now shared with Sasuke, but she answered him that his room was way too disgusting ) and entered through the back door. As expected, Sakura was already waiting for him in the kitchen.

In their previous dates, Sakura always made sure that her parents were out. But this time, Naruto could see a vaguely familiar jacket hanging on the chair. “Is someone still in the house?” he wondered, but shrugged it of when he arrived at the chair where Sakura was sitting.

“Ohajo, Sakura-chan” he said, and leant in to greet his girlfriend with a kiss. When she didn’t make any sign of responding his kiss he asked her if something was wrong.

“Naruto, I…I’m sorry.”

He cocked an eyebrow at that, and got a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. “Something bad is going to happen” he immediately thought. He noticed that Sakura wasn’t looking at him: her eyes were hidden beneath the pink hair that wandered her face.

Naruto squatted to her level and gently took a strain of hair in his hands, moving it out of the way, so he could take a clear look at his girlfriend.

“Why are you crying Sakura-chan?” he asked softly as he could now look into her teary emerald eyes. He took her head gently in his palms and brushed his thumb over her cheeks, wiping away her tears.

His eyes widened when she slapped away his hand, shaking her head violently. “Don’t…” she said between sobs. Just when he was about to ask “What the hell is going on!” he could hear rumbling from the second floor. He looked at Sakura who was now standing up straight, her head slightly bowed. Not looking up as he rushed up the stairs, he could hear her mutter “Naruto…”

He followed the noises to the bedroom and warily opened the door. Shock was written all over his face, as the half-naked man in his girlfriend’s bed looked up to him, wearing an evenly shocked expression on his usually stoic face.

“Dobe?”

Yes a short chapter, I know. I just thought it was best to leave it there for now. I’ve almost finished the next one, which continues the flashback so tell me if you want me to continue.
