Since Grandma Chiyo gave up her life for me and Hitomi confessed her love to me, three days had passed. During those days, I tried to talk to Hitomi about this topic from time to time. Without any success. Every time I tried to talk to her about her confession, she evaded me with all her might. Either she said she had to get some water, something to eat or pass on some non-existent papers.
At the beginning I was still understanding, I didn't want to press her too hard, but as time went by my patience was wearing thin. I had enough. In an unexpected moment I grabbed her, closed the window and the door, so that no one could disturb us. Finally we were all alone. Just the two of us.
"Hitomi... For days you've been avoiding me when I want to ask you about your confession, and I'm starting to lose patience." "I-I have to do s-someth─" "You don't have to do anything at all!", I shouted out and slammed my fist against the door, "just listen to me already and stop avoiding me."
"N-No it's a-all right.... That was dumb of me. I was just talking to myself there haha... just act like this never happened, okay?" Her words only made me angrier. In response, I tugged her by the wrist and sat down on the kazekage chair with Hitomi on my lap. Hitomi turned as red as a tomato at that very moment.
Not gonna lie, I couldn't quite deny my embarrassment either but there were more important things to talk about right now. "Listen to me, Ishitani Hitomi," I cleared my throat and tried to cover my red cheeks and ears somehow, "you're the most important person in my life, too, and I don't want anyone else that close to me but you.
I don't want to be as intimate with anyone else as I am with you. I feel at home with you and would love to share you with no one else because just the thought of anyone looking at you the wrong way makes me livid. I have absolutely no idea about love but if love triggers such a warm feeling in my heart... if love makes me feel nervous but also happy at the same time at the mere thought of you and makes me think only of you always and everywhere... if that's love...
Then I love you too, Hitomi..."
There's no turning back now! From here on, our relationship with each other will change...
