One Hundred Words About Love

Author's note: Take it any way you want. Neji could love her as just a cousin or as something more. I'm not adverse to either one.

Star and Moon: Neji to Hinata
--

When he was young and didn't know any better he called her, "cute."

Looking back, he thinks that she is the first girl he has ever loved.

He thinks this is why he hated her the most-it seemed like a double betrayal.

Looking at her, he is reminded of the moon. Waxing and waning between fear and courage. Beautiful; luminous-but outshone by the bright sun. Her eyes are pale and wide, like a full moon.

He thinks this is why he worries for her the most-and why he wants to be a star helping her light the dark night sky.
