(Y/n)'s POV
I never thought being happy could feel this unfamiliar.
For most of my life, I was used to surviving.
I was used to adapting.
When I arrived in this world, I didn't have anyone who understood where I came from. I didn't know what my future would be. I didn't even know if I truly belonged here.
So I trained.
I fought.
I learned.
I built a life for myself in a world that wasn't supposed to be mine.
And somewhere along the way...
Konoha became my home.
The people here became my family.
And then...
There was Neji.
Being with Neji still felt unreal sometimes.
Not because I doubted my feelings.
Actually, it was the opposite.
I liked him.
I really liked him.
It was funny because I could face dangerous missions without hesitation, but one simple smile from Neji could completely ruin my composure.
The same person who could calmly fight against impossible odds...
Was the same person who would quietly remind me to rest when I worked too much.
The same person who rarely showed emotions...
Was the person who made me feel the most seen.
Neji never looked at me as a weapon.
Not because of my Kekkei Genkai.
Not because of my family's name.
Not because of what I could offer as a shinobi.
He saw me as me.
And maybe that was why I fell for him.
Because after losing so much...
It felt nice to be chosen.
Being official with Neji was strange.
In a good way.
I still wasn't used to introducing him as my boyfriend.
My boyfriend.
Even thinking about it made me want to hide my face.
I had spent my years encouraging Hinata about Naruto, and acting like I understood everything about romance.
But when it came to myself?
Apparently, I was completely hopeless.
"You're smiling again."
I looked up.
Tenten was standing beside me, looking amused.
"Am I?"
She crossed her arms.
"Yes."
I immediately looked away.
"That's embarrassing."
Tenten laughed.
"You're funny. You can fight missing-nin, but Neji holding your hand makes you panic."
