He knew that she wasn't from this world. He knew that she was, instead, from a parallel one. One where he was known as Naruto instead of Menma. A parallel world where this said Naruto character didn't feel any romantic attachments towards her.
A world where he didn't love her.
He couldn't believe it.
He was sure that even though other worlds existed, that he would always love her. Always.
And yet, this Naruto characters .. does not.
Not like it matters anymore though. She was here, after all. In this world. In his world.
She doesn't need Naruto. Not while she was here. And damn it all, he was going to make sure that she stays.
Truth be told, she too has alternate version of herself, but they were different at all. The only difference being was that in Menma's world, she was already dead.
But now, she was back. Granted, from another world. But he was going to make her stay.
One way, or another.
"Heya, Na- i mean, heya Menma!"
He watched her, constantly. There wasn't a moment where she would have her privacy. And it was cute how she never noticed him either.
Don't get him wrong, she was an amazing ninja, but always so slow.
"Y/n, how are you liking it here?"
"Oh, that? Well, everyone is so nice to me, and I always notice how they look so sad when talking to me too."
"For one thing, you act the same way that your so called alternate version did. We though you would act different, look different in some way, and yet ... you don’t."
The two walked through the village together. Y/n looking up at the sky.
Menma couldn't help but to smirk to himself, as each day goes on .. he knows that he is trapping her here.
"Menma, thank you so much for everything."
"Of course, anything for you."
And anything for me too.
