Naruto Shippuden☆

Evening was falling over Konoha. You were walking alongside Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji. You had many friends, but you were always a few steps behind them. You were serious, distant, and almost never showed emotion. Your friends were used to it by now.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted. "Come with us!"
—I'm fine here
Kiba sighed.
—Someday we will get you to smile.
—I doubt it.
You continued walking.
You had never understood love. You knew what the word meant, but you had never felt anything like it.
Until he appeared.
One afternoon, during a training session, Naruto arrived accompanied by a shinobi you had never seen before.
—Hey! He's new to our team!
The boy looked up. He was calm, serious, and had an expression that was hard to read. He stared at you for a few seconds.
-Hello.
-Hello.
That was it.
However, when he walked away, your eyes followed him.
You didn't know why.
The next day, you found him again at the training field.
—Here again?
-Yeah.
He sat down under a tree.
—Are you always so serious?
—Do you always ask so many questions?
A small smile appeared on her face.
-I guess.
You felt something strange.
Heat in the chest.
Your heart beat a little faster.
You frowned.
—What's wrong with me...?
He looked at you, confused.
Did you say something?
-No.
You looked away.
During the following days you started looking for him without realizing it.
If he was training, you stayed close. If he was talking to someone, you listened. And when he left, you felt a strange urge to follow him.
One night, sitting on the roof of your house, you finally realized that something had changed.
-No...
You put a hand to your chest.
—This can't be...
You had never felt that way before. And the worst part was, you didn't want it to go away.
For the first time in your life, someone had managed to break through that emotional barrier you had built up over the years.
And you still didn't know that he would be the reason you would learn what it meant to love.
