This set of drabbles is in response to the challenge presented in the StagesOfLove Livejournal Community. The challenge is to write a minimum of five 100 word drabbles following one pairing through the 5 stages of love 1.) Attraction 2.) Romance 3.) Passion 4.) Intimacy and 5.) Commitment. I thought I would just drop them all here as I write them.
I've really been interested in drabbles lately – it is a lot harder than it might seem to create a coherent story with a theme and a hook in 100 words! A LOT harder.
Title: Destiny
Author: Sintari
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Neji/Hinata
Challenge 1 Attraction
Disclaimer: I don't Naruto.
It is the oldest cliché in the world. Like something in one of the fiction books his eyes skim over when searching for forgotten volumes of military history in the Clan library.
If he admits it, gossipy old aunties will wax poetic about how it is "meant to be." Or worse, that he was "born" to love her.
If there is one thing he knows for sure, it is that destiny does not exist. Uzumaki Naruto literally beat that knowledge into him.
He knows destiny does not exist. But sometimes, when he looks at her, he wishes that it did.
