Love. It should not have been like this.
He knew it was his own fault. But he was never known for having good timing.
Had he said something sooner, he would not have to feel the dull ache in his chest, constricting his heart, reducing the nice feeling of air coming in and out.
Had he recognized it sooner, had he been honest with himself, he would not have to feel responsible for the lines of worries and sorrow on his friend's forehead.
And yet he could not get enough of her. Her lips had turned out to be the fountain of fresh water he had hoped for. Her presence had turned out to be the peaceful refuge shinobis strive to find in the mist of violence their life are.
He knew he could not, no, he should not love her. But he could not walk away from the sweet addiction she was in his life. He could not deny her the comfort she was seeking in his arms. As the moonlight basked in its glow, her naked body intertwined with his, a glitter caught his lazy gaze. It was her gold ring. The ring his initials were not engraved on.

Love. It should not have been like this.
