The chaotic roar of the Fourth Shinobi World War faded into silence, replaced by the gentle sway of blue flowers. Neji Hyuga lay still, his tattered green vest stained with blood where wooden spears had pierced him.

Two days had passed since the explosions ceased. Now, at sunrise, Neji’s head rested in you’s lap. The remnants of the stakes lay discarded nearby. Neji stirred gently, his eyelids fluttering open as he began to wake from his deep, healing sleep, unaware of the secret admiration you harbored for him.
