Chapter Eighty-Four: Echoes
He never thought to feel such a strong bond with anyone. Of course, Itachi would always have a special place in his heart, and Naruto...well they were comrades, and he owed the blond everything, his whole life.
Not that he'd ever admit it, least of all to that usuratonkachi.
But Hinata, what he felt for her, the passion, the echoes of deep unconditional love...it both scared him and drew him toward her like a moth to a flame. He wasn't afraid to admit it to her, or himself.
It was amazing to have someone to lean on, to trust unconditionally.
