As always, I am always flattered by the kindness of those in the fandom!
Scenario 4: The High School AU where Neji is Hinata's father's illegitimate offspring.
Hinata had the same sort of eyes as his, he had known from the very beginning. His would be sister-- half sister, rather-- had exactly the same sort of eyes he did, set in much the same sort of face-- large and wide and grey and framed by the sort of lashes that made other women seethe with envy. Neji's own eyes, however, had probably never had the sort of softness hers held within them now, as they gazed out at him with unmistakable relief.
"Neji-kun," she was saying, and those eyes of hers-- those eyes of her father, his father-- were widening, beautifully widening. "No-- no-- Neji-niisan. When I heard, when I finally understood who you really were, I had to come see you. I don't care what happened in the past but... Neji-niisan, if you really are my brother, I won't turn you away. I want you to be a true part of my family."
And her mouth made the same shape his did when he was pleased, and her smile was like his smile when he was happy. Echoes upon echoes, set within other echoes-- and none of them anything that he had ever wanted to see.
