Rating: G
Genre: Not-quite-romance
Comments: Almost ShikaIno romance challenge. Bittersweet drabble of 100 words.

There were countless times she left her hand where he could take it. Countless times she smiled at him, hoping he would smile back. Countless time when she looked his way to see if he would look hers.
But he never did.
There were countless times when he left his arm out just enough for her to slip hers in. Countless times he silently offered for her to sit with him under the clouds. Countless times he protected her, hoping she would notice.
But she never did.
There were countless times when they could have confessed.
But they never did.

Word From the Authoress:
I love ShikaIno, so writing a drabble where they didn't come together kinda made me sad. That's why I'm going to make up for it with the next one being more definite.
