A/N: I'm still a very amateur writer, so I'm sorry if it kind of sucks. Enjoy.

He smiled at me, and that's when I finally knew that I was in love.

With him.

But I didn't know how I could ever come to that conclusion.

He was him… and I was me.

And he was with her… and I was… just his friend.

I could only watch from afar, how he looked at her, compared how he looked at me. I could only see how he kissed her playfully on the nose, and how he would always laugh at her smile. I could only… do nothing.

I've been denying it, you know, the fact that I was in love. Because… you know… it was wrong, and it was meant to be nothing more.

It was too late anyway.

It was too late for me to tell him.

He invited me to go to a bar to tell me an 'important message'. When I had arrived, he pulled something out of his pocket. He then showed me the ring he was going to propose to her with, and I simply said that she would love it.

His happiness meant the world to me.

I could not stand the fact of even thinking that they were going to get married, but… I suppose it's my fault too.

He looked at me grinning, and asked me, 'If she was to say yes, would I be his best man.'

I looked at him and said no. He looked at me with surprise. I chuckled at his expression and said that there was no 'if's' about it, and that she would definitely say yes.

He grinned, and asked me if I would do it then.

I took a sip of my sake and I thought about it for a moment. I finally decided and nodded. He didn't see the look of hurt in my eyes, and I was glad he didn't. He simply hugged me and said a thank you in my ear. He looked at the time and said he was to meet his fiancée-to-be in a few minutes. I said I would pay for the drinks and he shouted a thanks before he left.

He was so silly sometimes. I pulled out my wallet and took out a picture. It was a picture of me and him from when we were chuunins.

I smiled to myself sadly and gazed at it for a bit. I shook my head, and whispered to myself once again. It was never meant to be.

But… maybe, just maybe, a twist of fate will happen.

I could only hope so.

And the rest is up to you. xxKC
