I thought of my talk with Hinata. Maybe I'm not so different from her... It might just be that we're both so quiet, so we never talk to eachother when not training... Sat on my bed, I heard the door click open, when my father came in.
"Son... you have been acting strange," he said, sitting by my side. "What has been making you act so out of the ordinary?"
"Father, it's this friend," I told him, looking down. "She appears to like insects too."
"Is she from the Aburame clan?" my father softly asked.
"No, in fact from the Hyuuga clan. It's my teammate, Hinata... We're both always so quiet... maybe we're not so different?"
"Shino," he said, before closing his eyes. "What do you think of her?"
"I don't know. I used to think of her as a friend and ally... but I can feel my feelings growing inside me," I told my father, before he approached the door.
"I knew this day would come. Don't fear approaching her, son," he told me, leaving and closing the door.
Then I thought; what did I feel?
