Could Have Been
だったかもしれない
She felt alone.
She always felt alone. Up until the moment she fell in love with Uzumaki Naruto. But that, too, was lonely. She had reached a point in her love with him where it began to hurt. Where her heart would physically hurt; throbbing painfully at the fact that she hadn't gotten any closer to him than when they were children. That even with her love and insatiable desire to see him happy, she herself wasn't. She wanted to drown in his love, but found herself drowning in the pain of hers.
Like a rainfall, darkness surrounded her and she shot up with a gasp.
"Hinata, what's wrong?"
She turned to the blonde in her bed, heart clenching at the sight of worried, blue eyes. With a shuddering sigh of relief, she laid on her side, nestling the crook of his neck. She had to make sure he was real, and enjoyed the swell in her heart when her cheek was caressed in return.
"Just a bad dream of what could have been."
