Fifth poke

She found Sakura on her way to search for Naruto.

"What do you mean? Naruto is unavailable and super busy since Sasuke and the other guys are in S-rank mission. They went this morning." Sakura said as a matter of fact. Hinata was shocked. Sakura invited her for coffee and she agreed but she ordered tea though.

Sakura stared at Hinata. She was indeed beautiful, even if she was sulking. Probably she didn't know the guys went to a mission this morning.

Hinata noticed Sakura was looking at her. Her gaze was so intense that Hinata was doubting if she did something wrong. Then, she remembered the things involving Sasuke Uchiha.

She felt guilty, how can Hinata did this to Sakura? Sakura was her friend and she still like Sasuke. Right?

"U-uhm, Sakura-chan. Sorry for asking. D-do you s-still like Sasuke-kun?" Hinata asked nervously. She avoided Sakura's confuse look.

Sakura sighed.

"I tried to move on and I did slowly the moment Sasuke poked your forehead."

Hinata was shocked.

"E-eh? Y-you moved on? B-but why? H-how?"

Sakura explained that lately she had spent a lot of time training with someone she knew too much.

"I suddenly saw something different of him. I suddenly see him as a man. It just....happened. It's ridiculous knowing that he will never see me as a woman." Sakura said in a sad tone. Hinata was confused. But she took a guess.

"B-but Naruto-kun really likes y-you. H-he w-will accept you in a h-heartbeat!" Hinata convinced her.

"Hinata, you don't know? Naruto is after that Ino-pig now." Sakura spilled the tea. Although she drank coffee that time.

"E-eh?!" Hinata shrieked. Nani?

She sighed as she looked out of the window. Hinata is so oblivious. So innocent.

"Yeah, two idiots together, imagine what Konoha will be facing. Honestly, what were Ino thinking for liking Naruto? But then I remembered Ino is stupid as well." Sakura snickered and Hinata giggled.

She knew Sakura didn't mean stupid in a bad way, they were best friends after all. Although it was rivals at times. Hinata suddenly missed girls going out with Ino and Sakura like the old times along with TenTen and sometimes Temari.

Hinata asked, "T-then who?" Who do you like then, Sakura-chan?

Hinata tried to not faint hearing the name she mentioned.

Sakura's head was down. It hurted her to even say his name.

"H-have y-you try to confess?" Hinata asked in a concern tone. Sakura shook her head.

"Sakura-chan, y-you should, Kakashi s-sensei is still s-single!" Hinata said confidently. Sakura laughed at her bluntness then smiled at Hinata.

"No need to worry. I'm okay. Don't worry too much because Sasuke is all yours, Hinata-chan."

"E-e-eh?!" For the nth time.

"Why are you suprised? Don't you like Sasuke?" Sakura eyed her.

"Ano.." Hinata avoided her eyes and looked down. Maybe?

She hid her face with her hair. Long hair is my defence!

"Plus, he freaking did the Uchiha-Forehead-Poke to you and that means something huge!" Sakura explained dramatically as her hands went wild.

Seeing Hinata's unsure expression made Sakura said, "you don't know about it, don't you?"

Hinata shook her head. That was what she had been doing for the past numbers of days, getting answer on it. But she hadn't found one. Sakura nodded.

She could understand. Hinata and Sasuke were like the polar opposite but also the same. Both were quiet, tend to be alone but Hinata was shy and polite while Sasuke was cold and hard. They didn't even crossed each other's path before.

Sasuke and Hinata's motives were like the north and south pole, too opposite from each other. It was unlikely for them to meet. But they did, suprisingly to anyone who knew them both.

"That poke was what something special between Sasuke and Itachi. It was kind of a gesture to show Itachi loved Sasuke, his beloved brother. And since Itachi was gone, Sasuke was...not himself anymore. That poke is special to him and he never really show he cares about anyone's feeling except for Naruto and you. He did to me once, but that was emotionless." Sakura explained. Hinata tried to understand word by word.

It took her moments to get it.

Now she knew. But she was now even more confused.

"B-but w-why would he d-did the poke to m-me if it was s-special?" She was getting sweaty and clummy.

"Hinata-chan, you're so naive, it hurts!" Sakura sighed. Hinata was not getting her points either for this one.

"It means he likes you!" Ino said out of her frustration. Sakura was unfazed by her sudden appearance and the fact that she eavesdropped their chat. She was indeed Naruto's other half. Hinata was suprised but her mind wandered elsewhere.

Hinata's eyes was bigger than the moon. Ino took a seat beside Sakura with her eyebrows raised.

"E-eh?! T-that's i-imposible!" Hinata stood up and deny it, too shock to comprehend it. But then, she remembered the kiss they shared.

Oh kami!

"Ah, I thought he has no heart or even gay. Turns out, he does have one and hella straight!" Sakura laughed, clutching her stomach. Ino laughed too, agreeing.

Hinata didn't found anything funny, instead she felt like an ice bucket being poured to her body.

She was not getting any sleep for the few days of the absence of Sasuke on a mission.

How dare he left without saying anything?! Hinata pouted.

She determined to confront him after his mission.

"That jerk! Instead of c-confessing to me, he went all puzzles on me!" Hinata grunted and rolled into her bed. She can't help but squealed into her pillow because she found Sasuke's pokes were cute and sweet too. Not to forget, the kiss which she still felt on her lips was undeniably hot.

-

As soon as his foot stepped toward the Konoha gate, he was targeted.

"You!" A voice demanded. To be specific, a cute and soft angry voice.

Sasuke furrowed his brows at her.

His teammate, Naruto alongside Shino, Shikamaru and Kiba looked at the timid girl they knew since academy. The girl had long purple-blue hair and her eyes were white orbs with lavender tint that only few people notice that. She was frowning at the moment, her face portraying anger and that was a sign to not mess with her.

"You- you jerk!" Hinata yelled making everyone gasped and silent. Who knew Hinata Hime could be this angry.

Sasuke was completely amused to comeback from a mission to this.

"You like me, don't you?" She continued with bold. She folded her arms, and gave her side-glare to Sasuke. God knows how she was trembling inside.

Sasuke twitched at this. Did she-

"But instead of just confess to me, you go around and confuse me with your pokes! A-and you with your glares and smirks are annoying me! Not to forget, you-" Hinata kept ranting, she was too mad to notice the others were watching her as well in shock and amusement.

Ino who knew little Hinata was fiesty when she wanted to be, only smirked. She was going to enjoy watching the guys' reactions. Sakura was second to it, although she was a bit suprised too.

"Damn, I never knew Hinata have that in herself!" Shikamaru whispered to the guys. They agreed in silence, wishing they have popcorn or something while watching it. Naruto nudged Ino in questions, but Ino winked and told him to just watch.

Sasuke had come to the point where he was grinning like an idiot. She made him like that. The guys were even more paralysed seeing him like that.

He came forward to her who was ranting non-stop. She was rambling even quicker now that she realised he came to her.

Then, came the sudden famous poke to her forehead. His two fingers lightly pushed her forehead, in a tender way that made her stop ranting.

Reflectively she rubbed her forehead. She pouted.

There she went driving him crazy with her cute face again and again.

Not to miss several, "Holy shit!", "Did Sasuke just-" "Man, I ship it." "Uhm, what?" On the background.

"Are you done?" Sasuke asked and chuckled. Hinata glared, trying hard to intimidate. But he was Sasuke Uchiha. He intimidated people, not the other around. Especially not by this cute angry kitten.

He smirked and decided to drop the bomb. I mean, not literal bomb.

"Yes, I like you." Sasuke claimed and smirked when she gasped. She was speechless. I mean, what was she expecting, really?

She certainly knew he wouldn't reject her. After all, she drove him crazy with her kiss. I did that. She was proud with herself.

He took her small hand in his big one, gently kissing it. Then, his onyx eyes stared into her lavender tint eyes.

He could always get lost in these beautiful eyes of this beautiful girl in front of him.

He leaned in slowly. Hinata was melting to his touch, almost immediately. She closed her eyes tightly, waiting for his lips to connected with hers.

At last, they did. His lips tasted so good just like the last time, she was drunk in it. She kissed him back longingly. She opened her mouth a little, a little too submissive and he was a little too possessive. It was perfect.

He tasted the cinnamon bits and lavender taste in her lips again, this time he wanted those lips longer and forever.

Hinata whimpered and let out a moan knowing it made him insane. Sasuke groaned in participation. Right now, nothing else matter-

"Okay. Enough, Sasuke. I haven't even said my approval yet." Shino voiced out.

Sasuke broke the kiss and glared at Shino. Who is he, again?

"Yeah, Sasuke you might be our friend but you're not approved yet to be our Hinata's boyfriend." Kiba backed up Shino. Like hell they will simply let their Hinata go like that, especially to this Uchiha guy.

Sasuke raised his brows, what the hell?

Hinata who was recovering from the passionate kiss, stepped before Sasuke and the guys. She was still flushing red, but she made eye-contact with them anyway. Sudden little courage slipped into her spirit.

"A-ano..p-please accept S-sasuke-kun a-as my b-boyfriend!" Hinata said while looking straight at them.

All was silent. Sasuke smirked and hugged his Hime from behind, so proud. He pinched her fluffy cheek.

That's my Hime. Take that!

He was saying that out loud though.

"Only if Sasuke officially ask you to be his girlfriend!" Naruto shouted and cheers with the others. They high-fived each other because everyone agreed with him.

Sasuke heard that and glared at the dobe. Ino instantly stepped closer to Naruto and glared at Sasuke in place of Naruto. Her eyes sending him message, 'You mess with Naruto, you mess with me.'

Sasuke closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Damn, that dobe was right for the record.

He locked his eyes with the first love of his life. He felt the adrenaline rush.

"Hinata Hyuuga, will you be my girlfriend?" Sasuke said with a firm voice.

Hinata blushed tomatoes that he loved second to her. Her eyes suddenly teared up, overwhelmed by his confession.

"Psh! Blah! What a boring confession!" Someone said.

Sasuke activated his Sharingan, showing his red eyes to the culprit. Shikamaru gulped and raised his hand in defeat.

Hinata placed her hand on both his waist-side to capture his attention.

Immediately, the fire within him melted as soon as he looked at his girl.

"D-daijoubu, S-sasuke-kun. I-i do." Hinata whispered and smiled afterward. Sasuke blushed at her reply, avoiding her eyes. I though I am cool enough. His cheeks were now slightly pink and hot.

Sasuke Uchiha can be so cute too, eh? She thought and giggled lightly.

He hugged his Hyuuga Hime tightly, refused to let go ever. He found the one that could mend his broken self and someone that made him realised he had a chance at feeling love again, why would he let go?

Everyone cheered for the Uchiha-Hyuuga unexpected relationship.

"Damn, now that I think of, you guys could make powerful babies together dattebayo!" Naruto screamed in excitement and high-fived Ino. They giggled together.

Hinata widen her eyes and felt light. She passed out. Luckily, her man was hugging her still.

Sasuke growled and look dead in the eyes of the dobe with his Sharingan came back.

💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜

Life is hard. For me.

It's even harder when I watched Sasuke and Itachi's episodes when he massacred the whole Uchiha clan 😭 I still can't get it out of my head, I cried and I still scream in excitement everytime Sasuke or Itachi or Kakashi with his Sharingan on the screen. And I'm currently re-watching Naruto Shippuden aaaaah my childhood came back to me! I always forgot how great this anime was, haaa now not anymore!

Btw this is the last poke.... 🥺 sorry not sorry. Thank you for reading. For your votes and cute comments that get me always. It's fun to write this story, and I know sometimes they're OOC, but eh. This is fanfiction, damn it. But I like to keep their characteristics too. Thanks again for supporting this and Sasuhina ❤️

I guess this is the end.........

Hn.

Sayonara!

Sike!
