The Ghost of You

Naruto

AN: Don't play the music yet hehe.

Naruto's POV 

After Sasuke left for his date or what he called just hang out with Hinata. I told him I'll be staying in his place all day since I don't want to distract them. I told him that I'll be alright here, but the truth is, I'm not. I've been keeping all this pain I felt inside of me if it means it can help Sasuke get closer to Hinata.

I have already accepted my defeat. My sole purpose for existing now is to fulfill all my promises to Hinata. Of course, I wouldn't do it by myself but I trusted this process to Sasuke. As his bestfriend, I knew Sasuke loves Hinata but he just keep denying it just because he was concerned about me, but now, he will surely have a chance. 

The truth is, I lied to Sasuke that I'll be staying here all day. I want to follow them. I just want to see how Sasuke will handle it and how will he work it. It was my plan that Sasuke will take Hinata to the aquarium because it's also a perfect place for a date. I went ahead first in the location. It's quiet far but somehow I made it. 

When I arrived the place, there were many people. Some people who walked in my direction just passed through me. It's still a weird feeling tho. I looked for Sasuke's car until I found it, means they're already here.

I entered and looked for them. 15 minutes of looking, I finally found them. It's not that hard since I can easily identify Sasuke's tall features and Hinata's long bluenette hair. I was surprised when I saw Aki in the center between of them, who's holding Hinata's right hand and Sasuke's left hand. 

I kept following them behind but I never let myself be seen by Sasuke. One thing that made me relieve was that seeing Hinata's happy face. She was happily smiling on Aki and Sasuke. Sasuke did the same thing too, but he still kept his character. 

hm, still an emo

I kept following and following them, but the more I kept following them, the more pain I felt in my heart. It hurts to see that the person with your whole life is with someone. It hurts facing the fact that the person you love is not meant for you. It hurts that the things you dreamed will not be come true. 

If only I was the one who was there beside Hinata. I would definitely hold her hand, I would kiss her every time, I would be thankful for having a wonderful woman beside me, but it will never be happen again.

I still kept following them and yet somehow, I'm happy that Hinata changed already. I can see the brightness in her eyes. I can see the sincerity of happiness she felt, I can see that she's starting to accept everything.

Seeing them three made me think that they look like a real family. The father and mother who's treating their son on a vacation. They both look so perfect.
