To Give Herself A Chance
Falling. She found herself falling into a bright light. Warm and comforting. And after being in the cold, lonely darkness for so long….
It felt so … foreign.
This feeling growing inside of her chest, it warmed her, through and through.
It gave her pure and utter joy.
Was this love? This happiness? This feeling? Was it even possible for someone like her, a Hyuga, to even be able to love?
This had to be some silly little crush, right?
Any one who took the time to get to know him, they would have a crush on him too…right?
But in that lied the problem; no one took the time.
Yah, maybe Iruka and Kakashi-sensei, Jiraiya and Tsunade-sama got to know him, but not in the way she felt.
Yet, no one her age did. It was like he never had a chance,
A chance to have a friend,
A chance to be care for,
A chance to be loved.
Why? Why, why, why, why, WHY! She would ask her self.
Why were they, the entire village, out to hurt her bright light?
Why do they hate him when he has done nothing?
He did do pranks, but she saw the cold, loathing glares long before that.
Why didn't they see his kind heart, like she did?
Why did her father tell her to stay away from him when she started school?
Why was it whenever she asked him "why" he never answered?
And yet she finds her biggest why is to herself; Why can't she tell him how she feels?
Is it that she doesn't know herself?
No… this isn't "some silly little crush", it never was one.
The moment she saw his bedazzling smile, not the one he hides behind, but the one he gave her when she said she would play with him as kids. Before one of the teacher stopped them.
She fell in love.
So why can't she say it? She can save him some pain, to let him know he has at least one friend who will stay by his side no matter what.
Even if he doesn't love her back…..
That's why, what if he doesn't love her?
What if he doesn't even want her friendship?
Is it selfish of her, is it wrong of her not to want to return to the darkness?
To hold on to her bright light as long as she can?
But, like this, the light is not hers.
What if someone else realizes how special he is!
And takes him away!
No!
This feeling…
She is not going lose him to her shyness.
So she is going to tell him,
She has to tell him.
To give herself a chance.
So next time she sees him, she'll tell him.
Oh… look… there he right now.
He's talking to someone… the person start to walk away… then stops and tells him something.
"ask her" was they talking about her?
The person had looked straight at her when they said that.
Her face was becoming hot.
Then he spins around, his bright blues eyes meets her lavender ones.
She can't do this! Her face is already a new shade of red!
She has to tell him…
Uzumaki Naruto….
How much…
She…
Loves him…
"Hinata…" he says breathlessly.
Yes… she can do this.
For her bright light, the one she loves.
