I woke up the next day to find that Neji was no longer there. I got out of bed and began looking through the house for him. I assumed that he had gone to go get groceries or to tell the Mizukage and decided that I should go take a bath.
I went back to the bedroom and got undressed, wrapping a towel around myself. I walked to the bathroom and opened the door, ready to start my bath. I unwrapped myself and put the towel down.
When I looked over at the bathtub however, I met the gaze of lavender eyes and dark brown hair accompanied by a green mark on the person’s forehead. I blushed furiously as did he. He quickly moved his bangs to cover his forehead.
“Were you going to take a bath?” He asked plainly. I nodded stiffly, my face was burning.
He smiled slightly and moved over a bit in the large tub so that I could sit next to him. I sat down next to him and leaned against his shoulder.
After a few minutes, he kissed my forehead.
“Neji?” I questioned earning his attention. He hummed in response. I turned to face him and met his eyes. “Why do you still keep covering it?” I asked as I reached up to move his bangs.
He moved my hand down to his cheek and pressed it against his lips as he closed his eyes. “I just don’t like you to see it.” He stated sadly. “It’s a reminder that I don’t really have control over my life.” He continued.
I moved from beside him to sit in front of him and moved his bangs off of his forehead. I leaned forward and kissed the seal. I leaned my forehead against his and closed my eyes. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll love you no matter what.” I said.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me tightly, burying his face in my hair. “Thank you.” He said. I smiled to myself and kissed his cheek.
“We should probably get ready to go see Lady Mizukage.” He said. I nodded as we got out and dressed.
I wore a traditional black dress, as we were going to the cemetery afterwards and put my (h/l) (h/c) hair in a single braid down my back. Neji also wore traditional black clothing with his hair in its usual style.
