"I hope to hold your hands that support me through the fun and hard times forever."

Hinata

The first time you held my hands was when I ran from Neji nii-san's father's funeral and got lost. I was three at the time. You found me when I was lost in the snow telling me you'll help me get home. You pulled me along and I remember how warm your hands were. From that day on, you caught my attention.

When I saw you in the village, you were causing mischief. I remember Ko telling me not to get involved with you but the loneliness in your eyes made me want to hold your warm hands again.

I remember those hands that protected me when I was bullied. You told them not to bully me and helped me. Even though that made your red scarf destroyed. I was grateful and you made me smile.

I watched you train daily. Those scars and wounds on your hands were what inspired me. Seeing you doing your best motivated me to do my best even when training with Father was hard, being beaten by Hanabi every time we trained or when Father gave up on me.

During the Chuunin exams when I had to fight against Neji nii-san, your words of encouragement were like a pair of hands of comfort and that was why I didn't run away and was able to give my all.

Those three years when you were gone, I wanted to catch up to you hoping that I could walk and fight beside you. Remembering your warm hands was what kept me going.

When I saw you fight against Pain alone, I could not watch on the sidelines. I ran into the battle, hoping that I could at least be a pair of helping hands to you, like how you always were for me.

I remember The Fourth Great Ninja War and I was glad I could fight beside you. I remember you held my hands firmly and it was comforting. I still remember that time, grateful that I could at least be there to support you, and you thanking me for standing beside you is still and forever will be one of my precious memories.

After the war ended, you were known as the Hero and I was proud of you. I wanted to hold those warm hands of yours but I was worried that I was not qualified. You gained many fans, especially fangirls, and that made me doubt myself more. I kept my distance and stayed friends with you, not bringing up my previous confession to you. I was worried that you were still in love with Sakura, worried that you might reject me and that would mean I could never hope to hold those warm hands of yours again.

When you told me you love me, I was so happy I wanted to run to you and give you a hug. But I stopped myself, knowing that I had a responsibility to fulfil. I'm sorry for hurting you that time. I'm sorry for walking away with Otsutsuki Toneri, causing you to have such a pained face.

I was so happy, being able to hold your hands after the incident with Otsutsuki Toneri. It was like a dream come true as we went back to Konoha hand in hand. I dreamt of standing beside you and holding those warm comforting hands for so long, and now I am.

Day after day, we would go on dates whenever we were both free. You would hold my hand naturally and as our fingers intertwined, you would smile at me. I love holding those big hands in mine.

I remember the day you knelt down and proposed to me. You held my hands at that time too, and you told me "I want to hold your hands that support me through the fun and hard times forever." How could I ever say no, when holding that pair of hands was all I ever wanted?

I was grateful for your hands of support when I was pregnant. I was grateful because you were so considerate and helped me through those tough times. When I had morning sickness, you would pat my back softly. When I couldn't reach for stuff that was up high or far away, you would help me grab it. You would carry my stuff, knowing that I was having a backache. You would support me with those hands of yours and I was grateful to have you there beside me.

You held my hands during Boruto's childbirth. You also held my hands during Himawari's childbirth. Those hands of yours reassured me even though it was painful. I was relieved despite everything because your hands held mine, comforting me.

Even now, I want to hold those big, warm and comforting hands of yours. Those hands that are now burdened with every Konoha villager's life. I want to be there with you, supporting you with that responsibility of yours.

Naruto-kun, I want to live my life till the end, hand in hand with you. I love you.
