You Were Never Mine
By: Reyn
Neji approached me today. Apparently, he’s noticed the change in me this past year. He doesn’t know what caused it, but he doesn’t like it. We had a long talk, but I didn’t tell him anything. I figure since you never told anyone, you would rather keep it a long forgotten secret.
But something tells me Neji knew, regardless. He’s offered himself to be a crutch for me, to help me get back to where I once was.
“What if I never get back to where I once was?”
“Then I’ll simply stay with you forever.”
The offer was tempting. Out of all the people I have ever come across, Neji is the only one who has always been patient with me. Not even Iruka-sensei can lay claim to that.
But in the end, the respect I have for him is too great, and I cannot allow myself to put the rest of his life on hold, when I know he has feelings for another. I nearly cried knowing I have such a great friend.
His offer did plant an idea in my head, however. How would you react if you were to see me with another? Would you even notice? Would any level of emotion play across your face? Would you come back to me and steal me away?
Once again, you were two steps ahead of me. I was out walking and saw you sitting against a tree, your son in your arms, as you explained to him things that would remain beyond his grasp for years to come.
It was then that I realized I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t try to tempt you away from such an innocent life. I know better than anyone what it’s like to grow up without a father. To be the source of whispers and gossip that extend beyond the understanding of a child.
It pains me to admit it, but perhaps you straying from me was for the best. After all, a new life came out of it.
Maybe one day I’ll gather up the courage to congratulate you.
