Everything

Summary: It should be easy to fall in love with your best friend…right? Told by a series of letters, emails, instant messages and diary entries. [Sasuke x Hinata centric] [Sasuke x Sakura] [Naruto x Hinata]

—Ambiguous

Hinata Hyuga could love anyone, or at least, she looked that way with her demure smiles and cheerful attitude. Her shyness was the only obstacle in her way, but it didn't stop her from accumulating a crowd of friends. One would wonder how she stayed so shy and soft-spoken after having so many friends and so many love confessions. But that wasn't the oddest thing about little Hinata Hyuga.

Not while Sasuke Uchiha is her best friend.

Sasuke Uchiha, the elusive lady's man of Konoha High and the worst enemy of every wannabe over-achiever there. He was the genius, the star-athlete and girl magnet all mixed up into one perfect pheromone-high male. Strange that he's seen chatting naturally everyday with the shy Hinata Hyuga.

Perhaps that only thing that they really had in common was the fact that they were both currently dating others.

Or it could be that their families were both insanely rich.

Looks, charisma and money usually walked hand in hand, and it was no different for Hinata or Sasuke. Maybe this usually spelled out a happily ever after, being both of them were involved in a serious relationship with the partner of their dreams.

But sometimes life is devastatingly unfair.

Hinata- Sasuke, are your club activities over yet? Naruto and I were wondering if you wanted go to the mall today.

Sasuke- Kakashi wants me to run a few more laps, but it'll only take a few minutes. I meet you near the soccer field.

Hinata- We're are heading over to the track. Besides, Sakura just came—sorry, you can't talk to him now, I'm trying—Sasuke, she's wants to talk to you.

Sasuke- Just tell her to call. And hurry, Kakashi's coming over.

Hinata- Bye Sasuke…beep.

Dear Diary,

The alarm didn't go off this morning, but Hanabi's morning 'exercises' woke me up without their help. I was running a bit late and Sasuke had to wait for me. And when Naruto texted me this morning, he stole it right from my hand! Infuriating, I know. But then Sakura came and Sasuke straightened up a bit. I wish I had that kind of power over him. Even though I've known him since we both four, anyone could see only Sakura has that kind of control over him.

Our new math teacher is a silver-haired man in his late twenties. I call him Hatake-sensei, but most people just call him Kakashi-sensei since he's so young. I suppose he was good-looking. Gym was taught by Guy-sensei, as usual and art was Yuhi-sensei. We have a new English teacher, Deidara-sensei, be wouldn't tell us his last name and they say he doesn't have one. He has blonde hair and looks foreign, maybe he's part french, like Ino and Naruto. The weirdest thing was that Kakashi-sensei doubled as the track and field coach. It's strange to see your math teacher run 100-m in 10.65 seconds. Sasuke says that's good enough to be on a national level.

We went to the shrine to visit his family and my mother today. I wished that we could all still be friends by the same time next year, when we all split up to different universities.

We will, won't we?

Sakura: Naruto, have you seen Sasuke anywhere?

Naruto: Nope. Not since last week. How about Hinata?

Sakura: She hasn't been in class either. What do you suppose happened now?

Naruto: Well, when they're both absent, that usually means something important happened.

Sakura: I know that, dumbass.

Naruto: Maybe someone died.

Sakura: Oh my god, you don't think both of them…

Naruto: No! That's not possible! Someone would've told us—it would've been on the news!

Sakura: Yeah…sorry. I was just being silly. Maybe someone in the family…?

Naruto: That could be possible…but I don't see Sasuke as the type to hole up if someone died. Though Hinata…

Sakura: Probably her…Anyway, call or IM me if you find out anything, 'kay? I'm going to be late for cheerleading. Bye!

Naruto: Yeah, the coach will be furious if I ditch again. Seeya later.

Hinata: What will we do, Sasuke?

Sasuke: Nothing. They'll come to their senses soon enough.

Hinata: But what if—

Sasuke: Shut the hell up.

Hinata: …

Sasuke: Sorry, lost control for a second there.

Hinata: …

Sasuke: I'm serious. Sorry.

Hinata: How will we tell them?

Sasuke: Who?

Hinata: Naruto, Sakura…

Sasuke: We won't. There has to be a way around this. Fugaku can't force this on us.

Hinata: Calling you father by his first name again – not very respectful.

Sasuke: He doesn't deserve any. I don't understand why you insist on being so nice to your father.

Hinata: He's been through a lot, Sasuke. He almost died when mom was killed in that car crash.

Sasuke: Doesn't excuse what he's doing to us now.

Hinata: When is it?

Sasuke: Two weeks from now.

Hinata: So short…

Sasuke: Let's just run away. You take Naruto and run to America and I'll—

Hinata: Sasuke, the whole Japanese paparazzi will be attending. We can't disappear.

Sasuke: What other choice do we have? No offense Hinata, you're not the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Hinata: We have no choice. None at all.

Sasuke: I'll burn in hell before I make Sakura cry.

Hinata: …beep

Fugaku-san—

I have already made reservations for the impending ceremony. It will be held at Ikebana Courtyard, a place I feel is suitable for this grand occasion. As promised, the catering and guest list has been taken care of. Please view the attachment below for more information.

I advise you to keep a close eye on your son.

-Hiashi

Author's Notes: Criticism + reviews are GREATLY APPRECIATED. I've always wanted to write a story like this, so I would love if I got some pointers. I want to achieve the level of angst and heartbreak that brings tears to the reader's eyes, and I think that this plot bunny has that potential. Maybe. Originally, this fanfic was named All That I Am – until I realized all my titles were a bit too long, and the chapter, The Only One I Cannot Love – until I realized that it was also too long. :D

For the confused:

superblondX - Naruto

hotpink_luv - Sakura

purplegurl64 - Hinata

raven_uchiha - Sasuke
