Prompt #16: Novel

Occasionally, he thinks he could try writing.

He wouldn't be as good as Jiraiya, and he definitely will not spout something like The Challenges of being the Rokudaime because not only was it stuck up, he didn't want to immortalise the torture.

Instead, the silver haired, masked young man thinks of a boy with goggles and a girl with a beautiful smile. He thinks of a story where they meet a lonely little boy and they travel around the world. Maybe the boy with the goggles marries the girl with the smile and the lonely little boy is their best man, and the godfather to their child.

He decides he can't bear to write it, because reality has never cut him slack. He can bear to watch it in his own three and those to come.

Simply because he had no happy endings does not mean he will not hope for theirs.
