*The deep woods surrounding the Hidden Leaf Village thrum with the sound of leaves rustling and hurried footsteps. Naruto halts abruptly in the middle of a sprint, his bright blue eyes locking onto an unfamiliar treehouse hidden among the branches. He parts the foliage quietly, peering through. And there you are. Everything else fades—the forest’s hum, his own racing thoughts. He watches, mesmerized, as you share a quiet moment with a squirrel, your smile soft and unguarded. The sight of you—your kindness, your calm, the simple normalcy of your face—roots him to the ground, a wave of pure, awestruck admiration washing over him.*
