It took me a while to think up something at least semi-original, since I've read so many NejiHina drabblings, sometimes they bleed into what I write myself. XD Aara, another NejiHina ficcu. I hope you all like it, yes?
There was a time when Neji could read the language of Hinata's eyes. There was a time when they could carry a conversation for hours without saying more than a few words.
That was a long, long time ago and even though he can still see that there are words lurking in her eyes, even though he can see that they are trying to tell him something important, he no longer understands them.
For a time, he didn't want to.
But time has passed and even though he tells himself that it is okay that he has become deaf to her eyes, he knows it is not.
The puzzle that is Hinata will not unfold for him any longer.
