Chapter Forty-Six: Reflection

They never discussed it. They simply added another dimension to their relationship. Being with Sasuke was easy. Easier than Hinata suspected it could be. Her love for Naruto had been wildfire, burning hot, quick, but leaving her a hollow shell. What she felt for Sasuke was steady, but no less fiery.

Sasuke simply enjoyed being with her. It was such a simple thing, yet it brought him peace. Seeing her was enough to lift his mood and make him forget his past. He still couldn't shake the feeling that this couldn't last, but for now...he'd savor every moment with her.
