Dedicated to: AkatsukiJean. Happy 16th birthday. Thanks for being my best friend through constant babbles, awesome sleep-overs and merciless teasing. You're the greatest. I love you chica. Never change.
Ps. check out her deviantart account (she's AkatsukiJean on there -and here). She's amazing.
Disclaimer: I don't even watch Naruto, much less own it. (but AJ wishes she did... XD)
I honestly can't remember when I fell in love with her. Maybe it was instantaneous, or maybe it was a gradual thing. Either way, it doesn't matter. Nothing does except for her. She's the only thing that's mattered for a while now. But, she's never noticed because, she loves him. Even though he's gone. She'll always love him; and she'll never be mine. I'll never hold her in my arms knowing she feels the same way. Never know how it feels to hear her say she loves me. But I'm okay with that; because her happiness is more important, and she's happiest loving him. And as long as that stands, then I can shut away these feelings that tear at my heart. I can be content knowing she follows me through dedication, instead of the love I desire. It's hard though, holding these feelings in while they are pleading to get out. Clawing and chewing at the seams of my heart, begging her to hear their silent screams. All the while, she goes about, longing for a man who isn't me; and never will be.
"Pein, are you in need of anything?" She says to me, in that voice that reminds me of liquid silk. I want to tell her that I need her. That I need her to say those words I ache to hear. To wrap me in her arms, as if she never wants to let go, the way I want to. That I need her, in a way that she could never be. "No." I respond, swallowing my forbidden words. The words that would ruin everything. But even as I walked away, I couldn't help but whisper, "Because, I need you. And you need him."
I don't watch Naruto so everything I wrote this story on was from what AkatsukiJean has told me over the years based on Pein (which is A LOT but still) and this story was practically IMPOSSIBLE to write. Arigato to AkatsukiJean and Mew2013 for helping me through this story. I honestly couldn't have done this without you two. ^::^ YAY I edited! I'm terrible about getting around to that XD I hope you enjoyed it! Please review! No flairs please!
