Such a sweet, innocent gesture, holding her hand... she was still amazed every time by just how good, how warm something that simple could feel when he drew his thumb across her knuckles. So oddly endearing...
It would have been good enough if that's how he'd felt, too, if he'd wanted to keep their relationship that of teammates, of comrades, then that would be -- not fine, but she'd have accepted it. Having her feelings returned...? There was nothing she wouldn't do to make sure that he'd stay safe, that whatever that future was? She'd find a way to stop it.
Her free hand stayed in his hair, stroking gently over his temples, the spots normally covered by the straps of his forehead protector, the areas where the veins from the Byakugan stood out when he used it... Was it more sensitive there, or less? So many things she wanted to know about him, trivial and not. Hesitating for just a moment as she broke the kiss to breathe, she leaned up and pressed her lips right to the center of that Seal, eyes closed.
