I've ridden myself of my fatalistic views of the world. But you're not the world. You're my life. I just can't seem to get the thought that our union was destined. You might not know it, but it's always been about you ever since our paths crossed. You were to be a kunoichi and I was to be a shinobi. We both walk the same path. The path of the ninja. You don't mind, I don't mind.

If ever there were any group works or partner projects back at the Academy, you and I would be stuck together. When Team Gai was formed, both of us became members along with Lee. Whenever we're on missions, you and I are often more together than with Gai or with Lee. Since you became a jounin, during missions that were strictly two-person ones, you and I would be stuck together, not Lee and you or Lee and I. Most of the time, it's always been you and I. We're in our own little world and we hardly even notice it.

During our first Chuunin Exams, when you heard the news, you were one of the people who weren't disgusted or angry at me for trying to kill Hinata-sama. I liked to think that you understood my situation. And you really did. Around that was when I felt my heart beating whenever I felt you and my stomach somersaulting whenever I saw you.

When Temari treated you like that, I wanted to punch the living daylights out of her. Gai had restrained me from going down there since he knew that I would break the rules. I wished that I would go against her sometime later. That wish never came true. She fought Shikamaru. And it would never come true because she became Suna's liaison to Konoha. If I hurt her, it might end up in a diplomatic mess. Besides, you wouldn't want me to do that. You care too much for my sake.

I almost feel guilty because of that. I've never felt this kind of love before you came. I almost feel undeserving and awkward. But since you tell me that you like this kind of love, I forget all of my other opinions. I don't mind because you don't mind.

I feel as if we were destined to be together because nobody can fit so perfectly the way we do whenever we hug and whenever we kiss. We're like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. My arms around your waist, your arms around my neck, and our breaths mingle with each other. Every hug is treasured, is intimate. Sometimes, we lay like this for hours. I don't mind, you don't mind. I think we both feel it's destiny.

Our love has been written in the stars. I can't erase it, you can't erase it. We both don't mind. We're both happy. We both love each other and that's all there is to it. We were meant to be from the start. It just took us a lot of time to notice it. But we don't care. All we care about is how we ended up.

My arms are around your waist, your arms are around my neck, our breaths mingle with each other, our hearts are one, and our souls are intertwined. For once, I believe that destiny hasn't been cruel to me. It gave me you as a compensation. I don't mind, you don't mind. We're happy and in love enough as it is.

Just in case you haven't noticed it, it's in Neji's POV.
