"You should try it on."
She held the orange shirt in front of him, the bright blue swirl at its centre the onyx eyed man's focus.
He didn't look amused.
Quite the contrary, he seemed wounded. Insulted, perhaps, that she would even suggest him buying an Uzumaki-themed shirt.
"Hinata..."
She smiled sweetly up at him, lowering the shirt a little.
It was how they had noticed one another first.
They were in a clothing store, much like this one, and he had been scrutinising one of the countless "Shinobi Hero" T-shirts that were on sale.
She had even said the same thing to him.
The only difference was that at the time she had bought one of the shirts.
Now... she thought that, maybe, an Uchiha fan would look better on her.
"Let's go."
Rather it was because he didn't like the shirt, or because people had started to gape at them, she didn't know.
But as they weaved through the crowd, he didn't try to hide their linked hands or their laced fingers.
She didn't mind it much, but it was a break from their game.
Maybe he had given up?
She wouldn't mind that, either.
It would be a relief, if she were being honest.
Then they could chase each other openly.
Like Yin and Yang.
Night and Day.
Evil and Good.
Black and White.
