They're arguably my most favourite Ino Pairing right after KakaIno so I'm really glad they're canon xD
[Ino x Sai] – DAY6 | Out Of My Mind
Sai stood silently in front of her door, his hands hovering over the door knob. He winced at the sudden pain that had just flashed by him, and his hands paused, taking in the mentioned feeling.
"Ino?" He muttered quietly, not caring if she couldn't hear him. "Ino? What is this feeling?"
On the other side, the girl leaned against her door, her eyes fixated on the ceiling above her. She hesitated in opening the door, wondering if she was brave enough to let her walls come down with him.
Would he understand her? Would he understand love?
"It's love, Sai." Ino managed a reply loud enough for him to hear her.
"I've read about it once." He spoke up this time round. "They said it's a wonderful feeling of adoration, but that it comes with pain too. Is this it?"
She kept quiet, not knowing what to answer him with.
"I… adore you, Ino." Sai said with conviction. "And my heart hurts right now, too. I think… I think I love you. Do you feel the same way, Ino?"
"I see." Ino gave a small smile. "I love you too, then."
"But why are you pushing me away?"
The door slightly opened, revealing a distressed kunoichi on the other side. Sai took the opportunity to open the door wider and he was taken by surprise when Ino had leaped right into his arms.
"I was just scared of the intense feelings." She answered him truthfully.
"I'm scared, too. I've never felt anything like this before." Sai hugged her tighter. "But we can face this together."
Thank you, Sai…
