Neji's POV

Her eyes... Reflected how warm she is. I love her... But why? Is it because that this is such a rare occasion? Is it because she is beautiful to me? Is it because she's different? No... I don't know... All I know is... I want to be with her in all my life.

I placed my hand on her chin as snow started to fall gently.

I told her, "I know. I'm acting weirder."

"..."

"You asked me if I feel lonely or something like that whenever it's winter... If I don't get training, I can be pretty moody. I guess people experience the same thing."

She was shocked. I can feel that.

"Just what exactly do you mean?" she asked.

"I feel the same too. You want someone to hug you every night to give you warmth not only to your body, but also to your heart. That's why people get lonely and a little bit moody in winter."

"I see. But what did you just made mention a while ago? The part where you said that a man would feel weak if he sees that the woman he loves is crying no matter how physically strong he is."

"You're breaking my heart, Ten-Ten."

"I'm sorry."

"I don't want to see you crying. You're the woman that I'm talking about. You're the woman that I don't want to see crying. I see you... beautiful."

Ten-Ten's POV

We feel the same about each other? Is that what he wants to tell me? He doesn't want to see me crying...It must be true.

"Ten-Ten, tell me. Honestly... Do you have feelings for me, too?" he questioned me.

"Why don't you use your Byakugan and see for yourself?"

He just stared at me with those pair of silver and gentle eyes.

I responed, "Uhmm... I... I do have feeli-"

He suddenly kissed me. Not only that, he hugged me too! I was shocked... I never saw this coming... He loves me...

He slid his hands to my cheeks and I just placed my hands behind his neck. He broke the kiss slowly and his eyes were about an inch away from mines. He looked at me with those pair of silver eyes again. Even I was lost in his eyes. I saw myself in his eyes...

"Do you accept my feelings for you?" he asked me.

"Of course, Neji... Why not?" I responded with a smile. He gave me a hand and helped me stand up with him.

He placed his hands on my hips and I placed mines on his shoulders. We were still smiling at each other. We laughed softly after that as we both stared at the snow. Then our eyes met again but we still had our smiles.

"I love you, Ten-Ten. And no one else."

I smiled at him and said, "I love you, too."

We passionately kissed each other on that winter day...

It is true... There is no reason to like someone or worse... To love him. Winter can be lonely but love is still flying freely in the air. Thank you Neji... Thank you for loving me...
