His free hand stroked her still damp hair, long and quite plentiful. He was content to let his eyes drink in her sight, take in her voice that said his name again, in a tone he felt was certainly reserved only for him. No formality, no artifices, only true feelings.

How strange it was, that her simple touch made him feel he existed, gave him so much of a purpose. Never would he have thought to find such a match here, out of even his wildest dreams. A Hyuuga and a Uchiha. Anywhere else it would have created a tsunami of reactions. Here though, it was nothing new. There was already a Hyuuga and Uchiha couple, merely their gender were reversed.

Gently, his thumb stroked at her cheek again, almost rythmically. For now, they both were happy with each other's mere presnce, and the feeling envelopping them, as it should be.
