Strength
By Forever3330
Hanabi wonders, sometimes, if she really is the strong one.
It is true that she can bring death to her enemies without procuring a single scratch.
It is true that she can make carefully weighed decisions in the blink of an eye.
It is true that she does not allow her emotions to control her.
It is true that she can defeat her sister in battle, always, without fail.
But she has seen Hinata in her garden, crying silently as she waits for the man who left so many years ago now, and she has seen how Hinata wipes away her tears to smile at those who come near her, and she has seen how Hinata can bring smiles to the faces of others, and she has felt Hinata's gentle hands on her wounds after a mission gone wrong, brow creased with worry, and she has seen how Hinata can listen and untangle the knots in a persons soul, and most of all she has seen that smile Hinata has, so bright and worried and happy all at once, and she knows she cannot smile in such a way.
