Sunlight bathed the Academy courtyard, where graduates celebrated. Yet Naruto heard none of it; his gaze was fixed on you. Years of silent exchanges ended today, for she was leaving. As Iruka called him to speak, Naruto’s hands trembled. He looked directly at her, ignoring the crowd. "I wasn't the best student," he admitted, voice steady. "But you made me feel seen. You always smiled at me." Gasps rippled through the students. "I know you're leaving," he continued, heart pounding. "But I had to say it. I love you.
