Beauty.
Defined as a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight.
Beauty was such a strange concept. Its definition was broad and the concept itself was vague. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone had a different definition of beauty.
For Naruto, you’d assume that a bowl of ramen would be next to the word in the dictionary.
For Sasuke, perhaps revenge is equated with that very word.
For Shikamaru, a long nap.
For you?
Neji Hyuga of the well known Hyuga clan.
Maybe that’s where you made your mistake.
You’d admired the man since you’d met him during the exams. He was intimidating to say the least. Just a year above you and yet he was perhaps one of the strongest and most powerful ninjas you’d ever met apart from Sasuke.
He never once acknowledged your existence, but you didn’t mind. Being in his presence was more than enough to sustain you.
But of course, this was years ago.
At the very least now, the two of you spoke quite often, yet you never seemed to make it past “acquaintance.” You didn’t mind, because once again, at least he knew you existed. That was more than enough for you… At least in the past it was.
More and more, do you notice the effects of just barely being acknowledged by the man. It started to take its toll and you found yourself having to force yourself away from the man whenever you found your paths crossed. You couldn’t allow yourself to be distracted by silly feelings that would never be returned.
“Earth to Y/N.” A snap of his fingers has you jumping and Shikamaru holds his hands up in defense. “Woah… Never seen you so jumpy before. Usually it’s Choji overthere.”
You hum unamused at your teammate, dropping your gaze to your glass of water while you wait for your sensei to come join you.
Shikamaru frowns, his brows furrowed as he tries to break down what had gotten you so under the weather in just a matter of moments. “What’s up with you? You know we can’t have you distracted, so whatever it is, you need to handle it like yesterday. We’ll be out on a mission for a month, we need our healer in pique condition.”
“Hopefully you won’t need me at all.”
“That’s besides the point!”
Choji looks up from his appetizers, his eyes flickering between the two of you. He swallows his mouthful, “Honestly, please don’t fight. The last thing we need is tension before the mission too. Just… Try to stay calm.”
“Tell him that.”
“I am calm! What’s that supposed to mean?” Shikamaru immediately gets defensive and once he realizes the point you’d made, he drops his hands to his lap, sighing. “Whatever. This is lame anyway. I’m here if you decide you wanna talk to whatever.”
“Gee, thanks.”
The next morning, after a well needed night of sleep and escape from your thoughts about Neji Hyuga, you find your way to the gates, only pausing mid step when you see the man who’d been consuming your thoughts, illuminated by the glow of the sunrise. He’s there with Rock Lee and TenTen, and you can’t help the fluttering feeling in your chest. You knew it was silly to believe that they’d be seeing you off, let alone Neji himself, but one could hope.
You and Choji come to a stop, surprised to find that Shikamaru wasn’t far behind you, plopping himself down at the foot of a tree as he waited for your sensei to arrive and send the three of you off on your own.
“Hey!” Rock Lee is the first to greet you, rather excitedly, might you add. “Haven’t seen you in ages! How’ve you been?” You can’t help but smile at him. He’s always been so sweet and often offered to train you. In fact, the last you saw each other was just a few days ago for a short sparring session.
“We saw each other on Friday, Lee.” The man goes wide eyed and then taps his chin as if he had to recall that long ago.
“Exactly. Ages.” He grins again and you simply smile, tearing your gaze away to greet his teammates.
“You three heading out?” Your gaze flickers between the two remaining teammates. Neji’s gaze remains unwavering as you look at him. As serious as ever.
TenTen nods, the two of you have never really spoken much before, so it doesn’t surprise you that she keeps her answer short and simple, “Delivering scrolls…”
“Us too. We’re going towards the sound village…”
This seems to get a reaction from Neji but before you can question anything, your sensei shows himself. Funny how he decides to be on time today when last night he was late. You sigh, sparing one last glance at Neji. Now the man doesn’t take his eyes off of you, watching as Asuma greets the three of you. Even when TenTen nudges him, he’s taking in your form, getting a sense of whether you were ready for this mission or not.
At least that’s what he tells himself.
That’s what he’s told himself for years. He was simply checking your chakra, watching your form. And if someone ever told him that he was staring, he was simply examining the competition he had to become the best ninja. He had tried to convince himself for ages that nothing was actually taking place. That he wasn’t conflicted when he saw how close you and his own teammate were together, let alone yourself and Shikamaru. He didn’t even want to think about that.
“You’re staring.”
That’s all he needs to tear his gaze away. His cheeks are flushed and he growls softly, “I was examining their form and chakra. If they didn’t sleep well last night then they’ll end up getting themselves killed and their team killed.”
“Y/N knows what they’re doing. They’d never intentionally do anything to put their team in danger. You and I both know Neji.”
“Yeah.”
You take one last glance over your shoulder and Neji finds that his heart is racing and he wants nothing more than for your mission to end soon and for you to come back safely.
In Neji Hyuga’s dictionary, the word beauty could once been defined by being accepted by his clan.
Today, Neji was beginning to wonder why he was seeing you more and more as something beautiful.

Hi~ Your writing is so so good, I can't believe I just found your blog now but I'm glad I did. I'd love to request if that's ok? A Neji x fem reader (if it's okay, Uchiha!reader, but I'm happy if not) where the Hyuga clan don't approve of their relationship, Hiashi threatens her to leave him and it kills her to do so. Angst but happy ending when Neji finds out and finds the reader again. I hope that's okay. Thank you again for your beautiful writing! ❤️❤️
author’s note: words cannot describe how hard I fell in love with this idea the second I’ve read it! (which is probably why it became so long, I just couldn't stop the story flowing heh, really sorry! x) For the purposes of this, I wrote f!reader as the sister of Sasuke and Itachi (hope that's okay). I really hope you enjoy and thank you so much for requesting! <3
warnings: angst with a happy ending + Neji is alive after the war (in this blog this is the only correct answer when it comes to Neji!)
Tumblr media
The clock loudly struck midnight when you finally reached the doors to the gardens and pushed them open. Expertly navigating the maze of rose bushes, your bare feet hurriedly carried you toward the small house in the distance, the only safe space you could think of.
Your breath was rigid, your cheeks were flushed and your eyes stayed focused ahead, too scared to look back, in case that slowed you down. The muscles in your legs started to burn and begged you to stop for a rest, yet you couldn't afford even a second to spare.
You couldn't see him, but you knew he was near. One wrong step was all it took for him to catch up with you and you were not one to give up without a fight. Pushing the last bit of energy you had left, you squeezed the middle of your night dress in your fists, lifting it and making it easier to make longer strides.
You could see it clearly now - the smallest house of the Uchiha compound, used for newlyweds before the massacre, now standing lonely as your only hope to hide. It was so close, that your arms instinctively reached forward, eager to touch the wooden rail as a sign of reached safety.
Just seconds before you could do that, two strong arms circled your waist, lifting you up in the air and turning you around. You thrashed and kicked in the person's embrace, successfully bringing both of you down, yet he somehow found himself on top of you, quickly pinning your hands above your head.
"Looks like I won", the words came out smugly of his lips, his breathing calm and collected, almost like he hadn't been chasing you around the compound for the last fifteen minutes, "again."
You, on the other hand, were still trying to compose yourself, your lips forming an unhappy pout. He seemed to find your expression amusing, as he lifted himself into a seated position, his pale lavender eyes boring intensely into your black ones.
“You cheated”, you accused him, wiggling under his weight in an attempt to free yourself from his strong hold, “You used the Byakugan.”
Your movements stopped, your body feeling too tired to fight back. His grip also eased but did not disappear completely.
“A bold accusation”, the corners of his lips lifted in a small smirk, “and totally untrue.”
Neji finally let you go, plopping on the grass next to you, his eyelids closing at the feeling of the gentle night breeze that kissed his warm skin. You couldn't help but sneak a glance at him, admiring his almost ethereal beauty. The moonlight was shining upon him, creating the illusion that his face was glowing, while his long dark hair formed a large halo around his head. The bandage around his forehead was gone, his curse mark now a sign of pride and self-acceptance, rather than shame.
He looked like an angel. And for you, he certainly was one.
Growing up as the youngest remaining member of the Uchiha clan, your path in life was pre-determined to be filled with hate and pain. A lonely path, which you could only share with Sasuke, who was just a year older when the massacre happened. Witnessing the death of everyone you loved led you to form a shared belief that the only true purpose in life is to get revenge.
Your brother must have known it was wrong, even when he was obsessed with the idea of hunting Itachi down himself. Why else would he try to shield you from the life of a shinobi, forbidding you from attending the academy? Why would he try to stop you from leaving Konoha with him, throwing hateful words at you in an attempt to push you away? Why would he battle Itachi by himself, crying in your arms afterward, seeking comfort and forgiveness for his actions?
If you could be described with one word, however, that would be stubborn. Which is why you never gave up on trying to train your jutsu techniques in secret from your brother, nor did you leave his side once he joined Orochimaru. Despite the creepy feeling of uneasiness and fear you felt during these years, you always stayed loyal to Sasuke and you shared a goal, even going as far as to fight his old comrades once they found you and tried to convince you to go back with them.
You were not nearly as strong as Sasuke, due to his overprotectiveness and attempts to stop you from developing your skills further, yet during your late teenage years you found your strength lied in your skill to manipulate, rather than your skill to throw punches.
Everyone wanted an Uchiha woman.
Maybe it was a sick dream or a competitive spirit that men had over who could capture the attention of the last pure-blood female wielder of the Sharingan. Or maybe they carried a false idea that by getting you, they would somehow manage to connect their clans to yours, thus contributing to a new generation of exceptionally gifted and skilful ninja.
Whatever the reason was, it was clearly not because any of them liked you or cared about you in the slightest. Half of them could not even remember your first name and the rest found your bloodline way more interesting than your personality.
But with your main goal being extracting information about Itachi, and later about Danzo, Obito, and Madara, you gladly entertained such illusions, charming them with your fake innocence and cunning methods of easing them into trusting you. Your increasing knowledge of using genjutsu has also made it easier for you to aid your brother, without the need to spill blood and physically get into a fight.
Something, which turned out to be extremely valuable, once you participated in the Fourth Ninja War.
"Hey...", Neji's voice brought you back to reality and you lifted your eyes to him, noting the slight crease of concern between his brows, "Are you feeling okay?"
You nodded your head, suddenly embarrassed by the fact he caught you zoning out while staring at him. Turning your body to the side, you laid your chin on one of your hands, while the other one reached out to brush a piece of hair that fell in the middle of his forehead.
"Yeah", you said quietly, giving him a small smile, "I am now."
He stared at you for a few seconds, trying to trace any signs of lying on your face, before his hand wrapper around yours and brought it from his forehead to his lips. A gentle kiss was laid on each of your knuckles and you suddenly felt your chest being filled with a pleasant warmth.
Kami, you could live a hundred lifetimes and you still wouldn't deserve this man!
The love that blossomed between you two was unexpected and powerful, sweeping both of you off your feet. What started as him reluctantly agreeing to help you and Sasuke settle back into the village's life after you were pardoned for your crimes, soon turned into a passionate love affair between both of you.
Sneaking out during the darkest hours of the night, communicating only with glances in public, and finding excuses to train in secluded places in the forest were now usual things for both. Sasuke realised long ago there was something going on between you two, especially after you refused his invitation to join him on his travels abroad and chose to stay by yourself in the large compound. Still, he never directly addressed it, happy that you found someone who was appreciating you for you, not for the last name you carried.
A few members of the Hyuuga clan also realised there was a reason for Neji's suddenly distant behaviour. Hinata, being the first to accidentally catch Neji sneaking past midnight out of his room and jumping over the neighbouring wall their family shared with the Uchiha property, was not really that shocked or surprised. She knew that her cousin has actually harboured some form of crush on you, after you selflessly protected him and Naruto during the war, and she was glad you returned his affection.
Hiashi, on the other hand, has also connected the dots and was far from happy. As the strongest young male of the clan, Neji was being groomed into one day taking over the position of the leader, something which both his daughters appeared too timid and weak to take over. His relationship with you, regardless if it was serious or not, was not only a risk to him, but to the whole Hyuga clan, who valued the purity of their family bloodline.
And while he never said anything to his nephew, he watched him through his window night after night, sneaking once the moon was high up the sky and coming back just minutes before sunrise. Something had to be done and it had to be done soon, before you became a bigger threat. Thankfully, Hiashi knew just how to deal with pests like you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are you coming tonight?", you murmured in his neck, your breath tickling the soft skin. The grip of his fingers tightened on your waist and you couldn't help but smirk after you felt his breath hitching, knowing well that if you looked up you would find a pink blush covering his cheeks.
Neji hummed, his lips trailing from your temple down to your cheek, landing a few light kisses while doing so. You squirmed at the ticklish feeling, a low chuckle leaving your lips. The man closed his eyes at the sound, which sounded like a music to his ears. He often imagined what it would be like to wake up to it, once you become his lawful wife. Would your children also carry such melodic and hypnotising voice? He really hoped so.
"When have I ever missed?", his brow lifted in question and your lips immediately stretched into a wide smile, before pressing themselves to his. He tasted sweet like honey and you found yourself getting lost in the feeling of his mouth moving against yours. Both of your heads tilted in the opposite directions at the same time, one of his palms gently cupping your jaw to keep your head steady.
After a minute, you both felt the need to inhale oxygen and pulled away from each other, the feeling of the lost of contact already making you whine.
"You are either going to be either my death or my paradise", his soft gaze landed on yours and he landed one more kiss to your mouth, before pressing his forehead to yours, "If I don't leave now, I will surely be caught. The majority of the elders wake up with the first rays of sunshine."
Knowing there was no point to argue or beg him to stay, you nodded your head, already feeling eager for the sun to go down so you can see your lover again. You wished you could proudly show your love to the world and claim him as yours, without having to hide and pretend. And while he has assured you before that he is ready to have your relationship public, you still felt insecure about how people and more importantly his family would react.
You may have been pardoned, but you were still considered an ex-criminal by the laws of the village. Many people were still cautious about you and Sasuke, raising the concern that inevitably you or the future generations of Uchiha would bring more trouble. Some of them tried to reason with the Hokage that it is best if you are forced to move outside the village. One of these people was also Hiashi, who also felt that due to the fact the Hyuga compound was neighbouring yours, they would have to more or less keep an eye on you, thus wasting valuable time and resources.
Given the obvious dislike of his uncle towards you and the fact that Neji was having enough stress in his preparation to become the next leader of the clan, you couldn't risk to taint his reputation or chances to finally rip he fruits of his years of suffering and hard work. So you kept insisting you meet in private, telling him you would be ready once a little bit more time passes.
"I love you", you whispered against his lips as your final goodbye, before stepping away and opening the door to the gardens. Neji's face visibly relaxed and he rubbed his nose against yours, his own little gesture of affection, which you knew carried twice as much feelings as any kiss.
"I love you, too", he replied, finally stepping outside and looking at the dark orange colour of the sky in the distance. He turned to you one last time, obviously wishing to steal just a few more seconds in your presence, "Get some rest. You haven't slept at all through the whole night."
You rolled your eyes and were about to reply that he had not slept at all as well, but the moment you opened your mouth, he was already walking towards the end wall you shared with the Hyuga. A small smile graced your lips while you watched him climb it, before disappearing on the other side. With his presence gone, the need for sleep caught up with you and you soon made your way towards your room, slipping under the warm blankets and into the world of dreams.
You were not sure for how long you were asleep for. Maybe it was an hour or maybe it was two, but what you knew was that it wasn't for long before you were forced awake by loud banging on your door. Your initial reaction was to ignore it - it was probably Naruto or Sakura, wishing to train with you or grab lunch. If you didn't answer after the first few minutes, they were bound to give up.
The banging, however, persisted and it became louder and louder the more you tried to ignore it. Letting a silent puff under your breath, you kicked your covers away and grabbed your dark blue house kimono from the chair next to you bed, before tightening it around your night gown. You lazily made your way towards the door, trying to rub away the sleep from your eyes.
You didn't had to try for long, since as soon you opened the door, you became wide awake and alert.
"Lord Hyuga?", what was supposed to be a greeting came out more as a question and the old man grumbled in response, his eyes travelling from your messy black locks down to your bare feet. You tried to fix your appearance a bit, pushing your hair back and putting on the first slippers you managed to locate, which happened to be Sasuke's.
"Uchiha", he said your last name with a sour expression on his face, "Can I come in?"
Realising you were yet to invite him in, you cleared your throat and nodded your head.
"Of course, please!", you moved to the side and Hiashi did not waste even a second before pushing past you and heading toward the first open door he saw, which happened to be the one of the living room. You closed the door, but not before you scanned the visible area in front of your house.
He seemed to have come alone. Weird.
“Can I get you anything, Lord Hyuga? Tea? Water?”, you tried to ignore the cold glare he was giving you, instead keeping your tone as polite as possible. The man shook his head, instead pointing toward the seat in front of him as a silent gesture for you to sit. Your eyes danced a few times between him and the chair before giving in at his request.
“You are a smart woman, which is why I’m going to cut straight to the point”, his posture straightened and his chest puffed a bit forward, an obvious way of him claiming the more dominant role in your dialogue, “I want you to leave Neji alone.”
Your eyes immodestly widened and your throat felt dry, squeezing around nothing. Your finger clutched the ends of your kimono belt, digging your nails into the soft fabric while your brain rapidly tried to come up with a response to his blunt words.
“Wh-what?”, you finally managed to let out the question, mixed with a nervous laugh, “I don’t know what you are talking about, Lord Hyuga.”
Were you supposed to admit to your affair? To deny it? Has Neji told him or did he somehow caught him in the act of sneaking? Many questions kept flooding inside your brain, the whole situation catching you completely off guard.
Hiashi clicked his tongue in annoyance, not appreciating the fake oblivion you were trying to sell him. “Typical Uchiha”, he thought to himself, before shaking his head.
“Your little tricks may work on my naive nephew, but I already have experience with the snakes from your clan”, he said harshly, looking you through narrowed eyes, “You are neither as cunning or sneaky as you think. I know you have been in a relationship with Neji for the past year and a half and I am here to tell you that whatever you have going on is ending tonight."
Losing your composure was something which almost never happened to you. Perhaps the years living among the biggest criminals in the world has hardened your personality and you knew how to keep yourself collected under pressure and threats.
But now, under his cold glare and harsh demand, you felt something inside of you snapped and your Sharingan involuntarily activated, the confused expression on your face now transformed into a serious one. You held his eyes and with a deep breath you relaxed the tight grip you had on your robe, laying your palms flatly on the table in front of you instead.
"Are you threatening me, Lord Hyuga?", your head tilted to the side, the dynamic between you clearly shifting, "Because last time I checked I have no reason to explain myself to you, let alone listen to your commands."
"Ah, there she is", he simpered, looking pleased with the fact he managed to provoke such a defensive reaction from you. Staring at your red eyes, he leaned forward, laying his own two hands opposite yours on the table.
"Maybe not", he shrugged his shoulders, "But I want you to think about my next question and give an honest answer."
A few seconds of silence followed, before he opened his mouth again:
"Do you believe, even for one second, that you would ever be good enough for Neji?"
The words hit your deeper than expected. Pressing your lips into a thin life, your whole body visibly tensed, the truth of his words suddenly hitting you like a ton of bricks.
Neji was a strong, hard-working and honest man, who had strong moral values and sense of loyalty. Did you deserve such a partner after everything you have done? No.
But you were not willing to give up on him either. You had no idea why fate made him fall in love with you, but you were not about to throw it away just because someone felt threatened by it.
Sensing that you won't reply to his question, Hiashi continued:
"You may have a few gifted exceptions such as Madara or your brothers, who all went down in a questionable path", he mused, "but the Hyuga remains being the strongest clan in Konoha. A position which we held and will continue holding due to our strong sense of community and the duty we feel to look after one another."
You couldn't help but raise your brow at his words and narrow your eyes.
"A duty which you did not feel toward the members of the branch family, including your own brother", you bit back, knowing where to hit so it hurts the most. Your verbal attack seemed to be successful, as his facial muscles hardened and his whole look became darker.
"There is no division in the family no more", he hissed through his gritted teeth, questioning how open Neji has been to you through the course of your relationship. You obviously had an insight of how the family used to work and while he felt he shouldn't hold that against his nephew, he couldn't help but feel betrayed by the fact the matter was discussed with an outsider.
"Not thanks to you", your tone matched his, "It is Neji who pushed for this change, it is him who will completely unite the Hyuga clan."
Hiashi chuckled dryly at your words, surprisingly nodding his head.
"And where is your role in this, you think?", pushing himself back into a straight position, he looked at you with humour in his pale eyes, maybe even a bit of pity, "A woman from a clan, famous for producing mentally unstable individuals, who either start wars or betray their village."
Your hands immediately tightened into fists, nails digging at the soft flesh of your palms. With a deep breath and teeth sinking deep inside your lower lip, you tried your best to control the rising rage inside your body.
"You don't know anything-"
"I know that even now you are barely holding back", he interrupted, his voice louder than before, "Do you think that we will not only let someone like you in the family, but also let them marry to the future leader of the clan? That we would risk having future heirs who possess the Sharingan, rather than the Byakugan?"
The sudden realisation of your potential future made you freeze. You never really though about children or how your future may look like, but it was now clear to you that Hiashi was, indeed, right.
As long as Sasuke found someone to settle with and produced heirs, your clan was bound to continue to exist and be restored. The Uchiha have powerful bloodline, which even when mixed with someone who is not part of the clan, overpowered the other genes. This why you knew that a few generations in the future, your family was about to be brough back to its original numbers prior to the massacre.
The Hyuga clan, however, could not risk their clan leader producing an Uchiha heir. While having pretty strong genes themselves, it was really a half-half chance what the child is going to be. Odds, which were not good enough, especially for a clan that valued purity so much.
The man stood up, making his way toward the door, while leaving you to think over his words.
"If you don't care about yourself and your reputation, which is damaged enough already anyway...", he stopped by the door, giving you one last look, "Then think about Neji. I may have no control over you, but I can promise you that he will not become the leader of the clan if you continue to pose a risk to our family, nor he will remain a member of it."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The air felt colder than the previous night, dark clouds slowly floating and covering the bottom half of the moon. Leaning against the wooden railing of the main house's terrace, you starred up the sky, wondering what your life would be if you were born into a different lifestyle. With different parents, siblings and without the curse of hatred.
How easy life would be then... No rules, no regrets. Just freedom.
Soft fingers brushed your hair aside and you jumped at the feeling of someone standing behind you. Turning around you found Neji, who quickly retracted his hand once he noticed your jumpy reaction.
"My flower", he gently smiled at you, closing the distance and attempting to kiss your lips, but landing on your cheek instead after you turned your head last minute. Immediately furrowing his brows, he grabbed your face in his hands and turned it towards him, his eyes immediately noticing the lack of excitement that usually radiated from you every time you saw him.
"What's wrong?", the young man wasted no time enquiring, the bluntness of his words reminding you of that of his uncle. You tried to smile, but your heart did not allow you to fake your emotions before him. There was no point either way - Neji was excellent at reading people, especially you. Sometimes you felt he knew you better than you knew yourself.
"Walk with me", was all you replied, before stepping back and walking down the stairs. When you noticed he was not following, but remained in his place, you extended one of your hands toward him, "Please."
He stared at you unsure what he should do, but eventually he followed you, frowning when you retracted your hand before he could grab it. You walked in silence between the small houses forming the Uchiha compound, before he tried to quiz you again:
"Did I do something? Are you upset with me?"
You shook your head, your heart ripping apart inside of your ribcage at the thought that he was torturing himself with the idea that he had done something wrong. Your pain also increased knowing what were you about to do was going to crush both of your souls.
"Of course not", you denied, "I just... I really want to show you something."
Neji glanced at you again, not saying anything. One quality that you admired about him was his patience - he was not pushy or assertive, instead he always gave you space when he felt like you may need it. Just like he was doing now.
Reaching the end of the compound, you found yourself standing in front of small memorial temple, the Uchiha symbol, painted over the double doors, was now dusty and in places - completely missing.
"I haven't been here since I was a kid", you smiled sadly, going up the few steps and entering the small space with Neji following cautiously behind. He knew what the building was - his own clan had a very similar temple in their own compound, a way for the family members to seek guidance and comfort from their ancestors in times of great need. Unlike his, however, the Uchiha temple was dark, dusty and covered with webs - a sign that not only you haven't visited in a long time, but neither had Sasuke or any other person.
You made your way towards the middle, grabbing what was once a candle, but now was just a piece of melted white wax.
"I came here the day before me and Sasuke left the village", you said, your eyes moving up the large stone in the centre of the temple, where the names of all of the deceased Uchiha members prior the massacre were neatly written in a big list, "I asked for guidance, for some type of advice... yet I was met only with silence. Maybe this is why I found myself taking the wrong path."
Neji kneeled next to you, his hand finding yours and giving you an assuring squeeze of his fingers.
"Yet here you are", he calmly stated, his free hand wiping the dust away from the altar from where you picked the candle from, "You found yourself and you came back home. That is something that not everyone can do."
You let him hold you, his words of comfort making your eyes sting. Yet, you refused to cry, not wanting to scare him. Instead, you took a deep breath, before reaching to your dress pocket and getting out a new candle and a box of matches. You carefully placed it in the middle of the altar and lighten it.
You lifted your gaze towards the stone with names, the only one you recognized being the ones of your grandparents written right at the bottom. Your memories of them were somewhat lost in the fog of time, yet you tried your best to keep them alive in your mind, as well as the rest of your family.
"Maybe. But this is not why I brought you here", for the first time this evening you looked at him straight in the eyes, "I wanted to..."
The words died in your throat and Neji gave a gentle squeeze to your hand, a reassurance that you can take as long as you need to tell him whatever was on your mind.
"My flower, don't feel the need to-"
"I can't be with you anymore."
His hand suddenly withdrew as if your skin burned him and you desperately fought the instinct to reach out to him. He remained silent, studying your face with his brows furrowing more and more, till there was a deep crease between them.
"Y/N...", your name rolled out way too calmly for your liking, "Tell me what is going on."
Your face remained stoic, the fear of accidentally indicating even with the slightest twitch that you are lying paralyzing every muscle you had. Dragging your tongue across your dry lips, you took a deep breath, before repeating the same story you have been rehearsing for hours that day.
"My ancestors have showed me the truth", you stood up, gaze focused on the stone before you, "I have a duty towards the future generations to ensure the survival of my clan and my bloodline."
Your lover quickly followed your movements, but instead focused his attention on you. You heard him loudly gulp, before speaking:
"I assume the "truth" they have showed you does not involve me."
Neji has always been smart, often too smart for his own good. Which is why it didn't take him longer than few seconds to feel the direction in which you were trying to stir the conversation. You remained looking at one unspecific spot in front of you, still trying to contain the tears that threatened to spill any moment.
"With Sasuke gone, I am the one who is in charge of this clan", your back straightened more and more with each word, your body turning to face his, "It is my duty to ensure that the future leader will possess the Uchiha genes."
Something in his jaw worked and his eyes narrowed just a bit, a sign he was analysing something.
"Are you pregnant?"
A faint blush covered your cheeks at his question and you shook your head 'no'. You and Neji had been intimate a few times in the past, but you have always been careful.
"No, of course not!"
"Then why are you doing this?", his arms crossed in front of his chest, "Because you had a dream?"
The way he said it sounded almost mocking and you gave him a glare, suddenly feeling stupid after realizing how absurd it sounded. Maybe you should've come with a different story, about how you were going to travel with your brother or something.
"It was a guidance."
"Your ancestors didn't gave you a guidance when you needed it most and but suddenly they feel concerned if you future children are going to be Uchiha?"
His voice was getting lower, while his face remained serious, and you quickly understood that his patience was starting to run thin. Neji was an understanding man, but he was no fool - he knew when somebody was trying to lie to him, especially when that somebody was you.
"Perhaps the guidance comes when it is needed, not when it is sought."
"Don't lie to me!", his calm exterior cracked and he grabbed your hand, turning you toward him, "Everything was fine this morning and suddenly you feel like we are not good together anymore? All because of the idea of children, which we don't even have?"
"Does it not bother you?", your voice raised as well, "The idea that your successor may not be Hyuga? The idea that you would betray your clan?"
Neji remained silent and his hand slowly removed itself from you. A sudden wave of coldness hit you once his warm touch was gone. He studied your face, carefully examining each movement you made.
"Did anyone from my clan come to visit you?"
So he has put the pieces together. You should have expected this... It was now or never! You had one chance to execute your lie perfectly. C'mon, Y/N! You have been tricking men all your life, just calm your nerves, look into his eyes and... strike.
"We had fun time, Neji", a small apologetic smile danced on your lips and your hand reached to his crossed arms, laying on top of them, "But it is time to think about the future! And having fun is not enough for me to keep pretending anymore... The same way it was not enough for all these that tried before you."
The more you talked, the more distressed he started to appear. He was trying to hide it well, but the way he was biting the inside of his lips and the nervous twitch of his toes were enough for you to know how he really felt.
"You are lying...", it sounded like he tried to reassure himself, rather than confront you.
"I was", you shrugged your shoulders, "But not anymore. It is time to be honest with each other."
"You said you love me-"
"I said what I knew you needed to hear."
That triggered something in him and he looked at you with disgust, before stepping away from you. Turning his back, you could see him taking deep breaths in attempt to calm himself. You closed your eyes, unable to witness the pain you have caused him.
"The stuff they said about you...they are all true, aren't they?", his voice came out quiet and you almost missed it with the sound of the wind outside, "About how you tricked men, women and children, just to further the agenda of hatred you shared with your brother! How you used people's kindness only to stab them in the back once you no longer need them! How villages were burn and people were exiled, because they were foolish enough to trust you..."
You couldn't keep your tears anymore and you let out a loud sob, rubbing the sleeve of your top against your eyes. But unlike the usual comfort Neji provided in moments like this, the only thing he offered you was a glare mixed with disgust and anger.
"Why are you crying?", he rhetorically asked, scoffing at your behaviour, "Do you want me to feel bad for you? After you ripped my heart out and stomped on it just so you can have "fun time"?"
Choosing to move your eyes to your shoes instead, you watched your tears falling on the cold stone below. You always thought you knew what pain was having lost so much since such an early age... But what you felt at this moment was the most excruciating feeling you have ever experienced.
Shaking his head, Neji let out a sigh, before he closed the distance and wrapped one of his arms around your shoulder.
"Shit, I...", it was the first time you ever heard him swear and it surprised you, "You have no idea how much I hate you right now... and how much I hate myself for the fact I can't bear the sight of you being upset."
Your knees gave up under you and if it wasn't for Neji, holding you, you would've collapsed on the ground. Hearing him say he hate you was the final drop in the already overflowing pool of emotions you were feeling, but you couldn't be mad at him. You hated yourself too, probably more than he could ever do.
Staying intervened with each other, you tried to burn the feeling of his body against yours into your mind, so you had a bittersweet moment to cherish for the rest of your life. Because no matter what happened with you, Neji or even Hiashi, you knew that there was no going back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weeks passed and Neji never came back, neither you saw him in public. You didn't even remember when he left on the day you ended your relationship, all you could remember was him carrying your tired body inside, before laying you down and leaving without another word.
Neji, however, saw you. Every morning when you were leaving your house for groceries. Every evening, when he was walking home with Lee and TenTen after training and he could see the outline of your silhouette walking around the house through your window.
The young Hyuga has always been somewhat reserved and cold, especially to people he didn't know. But since that day he started shutting everyone out - his teammates, his family, even his sensei. And no matter how hard they tried to reach out to him and find out what was going on, he refused to let anybody in, instead focusing all his energy in either doing solo missions or training.
The only person that could make sense of Neji's current state was Hiashi, who after a few weeks of watching his nephew push himself to the limit, decided it was time to have a talk with him.
"It is the Uchiha woman, isn't it?", he asked one day while watching over the compound with his hands clasped behind his back. He never even glanced at Neji, who looked at him with surprise, before pressing his lips into a thin line.
"I see", Hiashi said after the few seconds of silence, "They have this strange aura about them. It's almost like they are luring you in, trying to stray your attention away from what is really important... Her mother was the same."
The young man did not reply, instead eyed his uncle suspiciously. He waited for him to continue, but was met only with silence. After a while, he forced his gaze away and mimicked his position by moving his own arms behind him.
"I wouldn't know, uncle."
"Wouldn't you?"
It almost felt like time stopped and Neji held his breath. Hiashi continued to look ahead, appearing to all the other member of the family that passed by that he was just enjoying the peace of his own mind.
"That part of the wall that you kept climbing in order to sneak out is right under my window."
His nephew pressed his eyes closed and let out a small sigh. Did he feel disappointed because of the lack of care he was exercising? Yes. Was he surprised? No, not really. Hiashi seemed to have his way of knowing everything about the members of the clan - what were they doing, where were they, who were they with. Neji supposed this was one of his responsibilities as the clan leader.
"It is over, uncle", he said, feeling there is no point in lying or trying to come up with a story. The older man finally turned his attention to him, resting one of his hands on his shoulder.
"Then stop mourning over it", his finger gently squeezed Neji's shoulder, "She has made the right decision."
Hiashi offered the younger man a sympathetic smile, but in response he only received a blank stare. He could feel the muscles under his hand tense and he moved it away, feeling the hostile energy radiating from his nephew.
"How do you know it was her who made the decision?", Neji asked, his intuition already telling him the right answer.
For all the years he had the chance to observe his uncle, he has never seen him flustered. But now, as he was trying to convince him that he it was just a "guess", he noticed the red tips of his ears and the nervous twitch of his nose and he knew that for a fact he was right the first time.
A member of the Hyuga did indeed visit you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You whole life was built on dependency. A harsh realization, but true. First it was your brother, then it was Neji - there has always been someone who has acted as your safe place, someone you can rely on and be vulnerable in front of.
With your sibling gone and your lover feeling nothing else other than hate towards you, you felt more alone than ever. Sure, you still had some friends visiting you, like Naruto or Ino, but nothing could fill the large gap you felt in your chest.
Every time you got tempted to tell the truth, you quickly reminded yourself that you did this for Neji's own good. You felt silly and stupid for even entertaining the idea that your romance could blossom into a marriage. Maybe you should've pushed him away the moment he told you that he doesn't "date" casually and he has serious intentions toward you, despite being together for only 6 months.
"I've known you for years", he said that day, "and 6 months are more than enough for me to know that there is no one else I want to spend my life with."
That was a year ago and you shouldn't know better. In a world build on old customs and traditions, where the only pursuit was power, there was no place for love.
7 weeks, 3 days and 13 hours have passed since you last saw the young Hyuga. You didn't want to count every passing minute, but it seemed your brain was automatically doing it for you as a reminder as to when have you committed the biggest mistake of your life.
You remained laying on your bed, eyes trained on a small black line on the wall. The memory of how it got there was fresh in your mind - you and Neji were making a list of all the places you wish to travel to one day, when you both started arguing if the Land of Water should be one of them. A verbal bickering soon turned into a tickling fight and you accidentally scratched your pen against the wall, leaving a mark on it. You were angry at him for making you leave such an ugly scratch on the white paint back then, but looking at it now you appreciated it as one of the few things that reminded you of him.
A loud knocking sounded around the house and you buried your head in your pillow.
"Not again, Naruto!", you groaned, your voice muffled in the soft material. The blonde has noticed you have been very cold and melancholic lately, thus making it its own personal mission to come and try to get you out of the house every single day. While you knew he had good intentions, you couldn't help but find his constant visits a bit annoying.
The knock sounded again and you huffed, standing up and throwing on yourself the first house robe you found laying nearby. Making your way downstairs the sound kept getting more persisting, as if the person on the other side was starting to lose their patience.
"Kami, Naruto, are you trying to break my door-", the words got stuck in your throat once you saw who was visiting you, "Neji?"
The man pushed his way past you, rubbing both his hands over his face. His usually perfect attire was wrinkly, his long hair was all over the place and the dark circles under his eyes hinted that he hasn't slept well for a while.
"You lied to me!", he exclaimed, the sudden loudness startling you, "You tried to sell me this stupid story of yours about your ancestors, and your guidance, and your future heirs... And it was so obvious you made it all on the spot! I can't believe I fell for all this nonsense!"
You remained quiet, not sure if he does expect any type of answer or explanation from you or if he just wanted to rant.
"Why did you not tell me he visited you?", he asked, turning towards you with angry eyes and you didn't need clarification about who "he" was. You didn't know how or when, but Neji must have found out about his uncle's visit to your house.
"Should I tell you every time someone drops at my house?", you wanted to light up the mood a bit, but given the annoyed glare the young man gave you, it seemed he did not appreciate your attempt for a joke. You let out a sigh, walking over to the living room:
"What difference would that have made?"
Neji followed you, letting a scoff at your words and crossing his arms.
"It would have given me the opportunity to tell you that you are absolutely out of your mind for listening to him", he argued, his voice cracking in the end. Never have you seen Neji so stressed and unable to control himself, and it did break your heart all over again to witness it.
"He just wants the best for you and the clan."
"If he did, he wouldn't have abolished the branch system so late", he countered straight away and you shut your mouth, knowing you can't argue with that point, "He is old and bitter man, who is so unhappy he tries to make everyone else unhappy."
The shock from his words must have been evident on your face, because Neji let out deep exhale, before crouching in front of you and taking your hands in his.
"I see you", his voice was now gentle and he looked into your eyes, "I don't care for your name or for your Sharigan, or for what you did in the past... I see the real you... and I love you."
The tears you have been fighting finally started sliding down your face and he got up from his position, cupping your cheeks and wiping them with his thumbs.
"I don't deserve... you", you hiccupped, resting your hands on top of his, "And I can allow for you to give up on the clan position because of me, I-"
"I don't care if I become a leader of the Hyuga or not", he interrupted you, eyes seeking yours, "I will give it up without a second thought if that means I can be with you."
"But if we have children-"
"I don't care about that, even if they had an additional third eye on the forehead and all of them were possessing the Sharingan", he assured you, caressing your now damp cheeks. After a second, he added:
"Okay, maybe I would care a little bit, but that is because it would freak me out if they have a third eye on their forehead."
A small laugh made its way past your lips and Neji smiled in return, wrapping his arms around you.
"I am sorry. I shouldn't have said the stuff I said about you."
"Don't be!", your face buried in his chest and you inhaled deeply the lavender smell you grew to love so much, "I should be the one apologizing, I... I just wanted to do what is the best for you. I wanted to protect you."
Neji whispered a quiet "I know" in your hair, while laying a few gentle kisses on top of your head. He kept you close to his body, relieved he finally had the opportunity to hold you again. If it wasn't for the sound of his heartbeat right next to your ear, you would have thought that all of this was just another one of your dreams.
"We are going to be okay", he mumbled, his hands rubbing your back up and down, "As long as we are together, we are going to be okay."
You hummed at his words, before moving your head and looking into his eyes. You have never noticed before, that despite despite the pale colour, there were still different shades of light blue, pink, purple and white in them. Almost like they were holding a small universe behind, you suddenly felt overwhelmed with all the love you felt for this man.
"I see you, Neji Hyuga", you repeated his earlier words, "and I love you."

Helloo!! I have a request, Neji Hyuga and the reader go on a mission together and the reader wears a blindfold just like Gojo but then when she fights her enemy's she takes the blindfold off and she tells him that her eyes would get tired if she doesn't cover them up and all that. Also Neji always trys to think that he doesn't like her and that he's just absorbing her strength (boy lying to himself🥱)
Neji X Reader | Reader Wears A Blind Fold Like Gojo
Tumblr media
Ever since you were in school you used to steal glances at him because you always have been intrigued by his fighting skills and how good he is at it. 
And as you grew up, so did your powers. So you were advised to wear a blindfold as most of your chakra centers were near your eye it took a lot of strain on them.
You both were assigned to a mission that didn't go as you thought it would. You two ended up almost out of chakra during a fight and had to fall back. Your assigned teacher was out of sight as well so you both decided to seek shelter in one of the caves you could find.
It was a little bit smaller than what you'd like, but this is the best you got. As you two were resting, finally the overuse of chakra got to you and you started losing sight. You have been warned about it and since it never happened before you didn't know what to do and started freaking out.
He got a bit scared himself. He was trying his best to not lose his composure but he was scared and tried his best to not show it in his voice.
You ended up being unconscious. Your sensei finally caught up to both of you and you were sent straight to the hospital as soon as you all reach the village.
That is where it all started and he was scared to come anywhere near you because he thought that he absorbed your chakra or something. As you grew up you tried to talk to him but he'd always avoid you so you thought that he was creeped out about what happened and wanted nothing to do with you.
Which was kind of sad for you because you've always admired him. (Well, your teenage brain had some other thoughts but who are we to judge).
As you two grew older he became more and more easygoing but always kept his distance.
Once naruto came back from training with Jaria, everyone decided to hang out and were sparing you two were the only ones left so it was you both that had to spar during the fight you knew he was not giving his all so you tried to push him as much as possible to the point that he confessed that he was scared of hurting you again.
But the thing is this is not the only thing that he confessed he also said, "and I don't want to hurt you, especially you."

Heyy, this is my first time requesting, I'm not really sure about how it works, but I've seen your headcanon about sasuke and naruto questioning their sexuality I really liked it, and I was wondering if you could do a pt. 2 with sasuke and neji about how they would act with the (male) reader after they just realized their feelings for him. (sorry for any bad english) I wish you a very pleasant day 💖
Am I Gay? Part 2
Characters: Sasuke Uchiha, Neji Hyuga
Authors note: Your English is awesome.
Remember to read my rules before requesting! (Which is always open)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Neji Hyuga
He’s going to be incredibly awkward, I mean like the definition of it.
He grew up in an incredibly hostile, conservative household and is probably going to be super confused at first.
Eventually he’ll talk to someone whether it’s Lee or Guy sensei. It’s up to them to help him come to terms with it.
So he’ll still be awkward but not in a “wtf I have a crush on a dude” but in a “the dude I have a crush on is talking too me” kinda way.
He’ll probably try to confess through hand made gifts or through sparing tips.
—————————
Sasuke Uchiha
Another person mostly raised in a conservative household. Sasuke truly knows nothing about crushes and romantic love considering he’s an orphan and his crush on Sakura was only there for a little, he’s gonna be brash and rude.
He will try to push you away and unlike Neji he won’t look for help to figure this out. Chances are Sakura and naruto figure it out and force kakashi to talk to him.
Once he gets use to the idea he’ll be more kind. I can see him giving you food as a “hey I made you this do you like it?” Another way of “courting you”. Will catch him dead confessing though. That is entirely up to you.

hello, how are you? I would like a headcanon of how Neji, Shikamaru and Sasuke would react when they found out that their partner belonged to Anbu.(Make it a girl)
hi and thanks for asking, I've been doing well! I do hope you've also being doing well. For this headcannon, I made their partner about the same age. This took a bit longer to complete, sorry, nonnie!
hc: Neji, Shikamaru and Sasuke finding out their girlfriend is in the Anbu
Word Count: 1,3k
Warning: may be slightly OOC
Tumblr media
Neji
Neji found out quite early
to be exact, when he was out on a mission with Team Gai
it was supposed to be an easy mission, nothing above a B-Rank, but quickly turned into an A-Rank mission, bordering the qualifications for an S-Rank mission even
so, the Godaime Hokage made the decision to send a team of Anbu after Team Gai to aid them
that team included you, of course
at first, when you heard that your team was meant to assist your boyfriend's team, you were rather worried about him discovering your status as an Anbu
but as soon as you heard of the danger his team was in, all that flew out of the window for you
at that moment, all that mattered to you was bringing Neji home safe
so, off to the mission you went, your significant other the only thing on your mind
worry was harshly beating against your chest, as was fear coursing through you
as an Anbu, you were trained to keep your emotions in check and to not let them overwhelm you, and yet …
you were the total opposite of calm
but back to Neji on the mission
his Byakugan is the reason why your identity was exposed
you had been the first of the Anbu guards to jump into battle and aid the Konoha nin, specifically Neji of all people
as though you were only focused on protecting him (which you were, despite knowing very well that he was capable of protecting himself), you acted like his human shield
and because Neji was using his Byakugan, recognizing your chakra that was so familiar to him, came easy to him
the initial shock had been difficult to swallow and left him speechless for the first minute
you weren’t supposed to be here, with him, and yet there you were
it left him confused for a moment before he regained his composure and pushed the thought away to focus on fighting first
then, afterward, once he made sure that you are save, he would talk to you about it
a lot of questions were running through his mind, all concerning why you didn’t tell him
there had to be a specific reason, Neji knew there had to be, but bitterness still had him sour when he first saw you again following the incident
because when you had seen his wide-eyed gaze directed at you during the mission, you had chosen to flee instead of confronting him immediately
what took him by surprise had been you apologizing immediately, without any hesitation
you went on to explain everything and your reasoning to him as to why you found it difficult to tell him about your identity as an Anbu “and I know I should have told you sooner, but I was just so scared …”
Neji found it difficult to understand at first, because he finds honesty important, you really should have told him from the start
but at the same time, he is glad because he now knows that you are capable of protecting yourself, meaning he doesn’t have to worry about you constantly (and how could he not? you are his partner, after all, of course, he worries)
regardless of that, he is still bitter and it does take a lot of apologizing from your part to repair the trust in your relationship
as long as you do indeed put in the effort, your relationship will turn out fine
don’t hide things from him again, however
Shikamaru
similar to Neji, Shikamaru too finds out about you being an Anbu due to a mission
unlike Neji, however, it isn’t that the reveal happens on accident, but rather that you reveal yourself to him
it happens shortly after Asuma dies, at the point of time when Shikamaru decided to avenge his death with Ino and Choji
while you were there for Shikamaru, comforting him and speaking out your condolences, he did not ask you to accompany him on the mission
you did not even know about the revenge mission until you overhead the Hokage talking about it
needless to say, you were pissed off
because why wouldn’t you want to assist your boyfriend? you were capable!
so, without any rationality in your mind and just frustration driving you forward, you chose to confront Shikamaru about his decision
“Why won’t you let me help you?” you blurted out as you blocked his way
for a moment his brows furrowed before realization dawned upon him “You know”
“Of course I know, I’m your partner. I want to help you”
Shikamaru only meant well by not involving you, he wanted to keep you safe
“I can protect myself, Shika!” You told him. “I’m an Anbu, it’s what I do best!”
That was one way to reveal it, (Name), not ideal, but a way
Shikamaru is left speechless at first, especially since his mind is still clouded by grief and an excessive amount of plans on how to take down the two members of Akatsuki
bad timing, to say the least
you watch as his eyes widen and understanding crosses his features
finally, he lets out a sigh, “Relationships are such a drag,” Then, he looked at you again. “You can come along, but … don’t get hurt, alright?”
the message underlying is obvious, he doesn’t want to lose you
he has always known that you could protect yourself, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t worry about your safety
you nodded with a small smile. “I won’t. I promise.”
the mission ended a success as Team InoShikaCho could avenge their sensei
and you could stand by your boyfriend’s side as the realization dawned upon him, that he had done it
and luckily for you, the two of you stood hand in hand, with your biceps with the Anbu tattoo on it pushed against his arm, your head softly knocking against his
Sasuke
Sasuke would find that out about you after he returned to Konoha, meaning after the Fourth Shinobi War
I imagine that you, as an Anbu are one of the people who are in question when it comes to Sasuke's redemption
when it comes to choosing someone, however, most Anbu are protesting vehemently
They are all saying things about how they don't want to be the ones accompanying the last of the Uchiha or how they don't want to be alone with him
and then there is you, the obvious choice
It was no wonder that the Rokudaime Hokage chose you to accompany him
(that decision may have been biased, but at least you were willing to go with him, unlike the others)
so one day you were suddenly leaving Konoha, alongside Sasuke
at first, he was very surprised when the Hokage, also known as his former sensei, had decided to send you of all people alongside with him
because Sasuke is convinced that a member of the Anbu was supposed to come along for supervision
but you’re here, and that could only mean… wait a second
“(Name), are you part of the Anbu?” he asked.
Almost shyly, you nodded and pulled out your matching mask to show him.
“When?” Sasuke wasn’t sure if he really wanted to know, but his growing curiosity could not be tamed.
“After you left, Sasuke.” You told him
now at least it made sense as to why he had known about your identity as an Anbu, he hadn’t been there to notice, after all
“Well, I’m proud of you.” Part of his redemption journey would be telling you more of that, opening up to you more than he already attempted to. That also meant telling you how proud he was of your achievements
the smile blooming on your features was definitely worth the compliment, so Sasuke thought
(although he was a little annoyed at the fact that he had to find out this way and not by you telling him, but that was something he could look past, as part of his redemption)

Hyuuga Neji bathing x reader SFW headcanons + oneshots
Fem reader
Tumblr media
◇ Earlier in the relationship would be too flustered about the idea of you two showering together aaaaaaaa
◇ Aren't you gonna be uncomfortable? He just wants to make sure you always feel safe and comfy with him
◇ First time it was probably on accident during a mission and you decide to spend the night at a very near onsen in the mountains rather than sleeping on the rocks and camping outside. Turns out since it was such a small and reserved onsen it had mixsed gender bathing. Neji being a gentleman ofc offered you two take turns but since you arrived there quite late there wasn't enough time for the two of you to separately take relaxing baths before closing of the bath area.
◇He got in first a little nervous but somewhat happy that you actually came up with the idea meaning you wouldn't think it's weird to be in the baths just with him
◇ After you got in (he didn't look while u got in the water lol) it was a bit of awkward silence and blushyness after it turned into comforting silence and you two really did get to relax and enjoy being so exposed to one another
◇ After that experience he actually considered doing this more often, second time it was when you got injured after a mission and couldn't properly use your arms until a week, of course he was instantly at your side during these times, not only to help you do your tasks but also comfort you emotionally. Speaking of tasks, it's kinda very hard to wash your hair with very little arm strength, this time Neji wasn't as nervous since he only saw this action as genuinely taking care of you ( I'm sure he likes to have someone depend on him and him being in charge considering his past), just resting in the nice warm and foamy bathwater with your head resting close to the edge of the tub and Neji sitting next to the tub gently washing your hair and back + since your arms are very weak after that mission he must make sure your muscles can come back to full strength and comfort as soon as possible so he also probably gives some bomb ass massages cuz he can see all the chakra points so he knows exactly where to massage
◇After all this time in the relationship he now really loves taking baths together simply cause of how relaxing it is. He's had a nightmare? Let's make some tea and go for a soak to keep him grounded to reality and lossen his tense muscles. You had a long day? Let's have a hot bath with salts and oils while talking about whatever you want and if you play your cards right he'll give you a full massage to get rid of all the stress from today
◇ In general likes close relaxing moments like these where you two can just be exposed knowing you wouldn't judge eatchother + first time you ever massaged/washed his hair scalp he got all the shivers and shiiii its now his fav thing
I initially wanted to include both neji and sai in this but I got too carried away so I'll prob write a separate one for sai :)

(No Sasuke)
One of the hardest things about being a ninja is keeping energy high and strength ever-present.
However, you just couldn’t stop your sickness. All it took was one comment. You knew it was just his usual playful banter, but it struck deep within one day…
You and Naruto became fast friends when you were placed on team 7. The two of you were always seen at Ichiraku’s stand getting bowl after bowl. You both agreed to help each other work it off as soon as you were finished with your meal.
While walking toward your team’s meeting point with Naruto, you two ran into Shikamaru.
“Oye, What are you two doing?” the lazy boy asked.
“Headed toward Sakura and Kakashi-Sensei.” You chirped in reply,
“Shouldn’t you two be off stuffing your faces right now?”
The comment struck you like a lead weight. Your mood immediately dropped and you became mousy and reserved.
Naruto did the rest of the talking, then you both walked to the meeting point in silence, minus his check-ins every 30 seconds.
After that day, your food intake drastically decreased. You were “content” with only eating one meal, just enough to survive.
You turned down every invite to a meal by your friends and teammates. You accepted the meals given to you on missions, but always found some way to get rid of it. Your sensei was worried, but your two teammates didn’t seem to notice.
One fated day, you and the rest of team Kakashi were assigned to an A rank mission. You had been feeling sick ever since you left the village. You shrugged it off, thinking it was probably just the heat and your nerves.
As you, Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi tread carefully along a foreign path, you suddenly grew tired and weary. You struggled to stay on your feet. The blazing sun pounded on your back, wanting to drag you down with it.
“Hey… (Y/N)?” Sakura’s gentle voice filled your suffering senses, “you doing okay?”
You nodded with a smile, slowly staggering along the path. Your knees wobbled with every step and your forehead ached.
“Say, you don’t look so good. Is there anything I can do to help at all, (Y/N)?” Naruto asked, bounding up to your side.
Suddenly black spots filled your vision, your stomach began to hurt extraneously, and your head was spinning so roughly that you could barely keep your balance.
“Catch me.” You whisper.
The blonde was taken aback, “I’m sorry?”
“Catch me… when I-“
You couldn’t even finish your sentence before your feet gave out beneath you. Naruto rushed to catch you in his arms. He fell to the ground, just managing to grab you, and calling out worriedly to your sensei.
Kakashi turned around to see his two students: one knocked out cold, and the other on the verge of tears. “What happened?” he asked as he rushed to Naruto’s side.
The genin was panting with wide eyes “I- I don’t- they just-“
“Come on, we need to get somewhere safe.” the silver haired jonin replied in a soft voice.
Naruto hugged your lax body close to his, with the desire to keep you safe from any further harm. When he stood up, he noticed just how light you had gotten. He wasn’t sure if he had gotten stronger, or if you had gotten lighter.
He held you securely, jumping from tree to tree. When your team finally decided on a safe spot near a river bank, he landed on the rocky ground.
“Sensei, help me get my jacket off please.” He said in a gentle tone, “They can’t lay on all of these rocks. They’ll get hurt.”
The jonin helped his student shrug off his orange jacket, folding it into a small pillow for you. He placed the bundle on the ground and Naruto placed your head atop of it.
The blonde knelt by your side, holding your hand securely as he waited for you to wake up.
When you finally came to, the first thing you noticed was the blinding sunlight. You tried to move your arm to cover your eyes, but you were too weak to lift it that far.
You slowly lifted your head and were met with the concerned look Sakura bore, the half-relieved and half-angry look from your Sensei, and finally Naruto… the boy had his eyes squeezed shut, as if he was terrified he might cry.
“Naruto, jeez you can stop gripping so tight. I’m not going anywhere.” You murmured as you sat upright.
Without any reply, the blonde dove onto your figure and pulled you into a bone crushing hug. “Don’t scare me like that… you got me? O-or I’ll kill you myself.” Pulling away, he accompanied his empty threat with a few sniffles.
“Sorry I don’t-“ you wince with a groan as you tried to rise to your feet, “don’t know what happened…” Instead of standing, your knees buckled and you were once again caught before you could hit the ground.
Your Sensei, who helped you back into a resting position, was the first to speak. “I do. Can we talk about it here?”
Still a little disoriented from your loss of consciousness, you agreed. Naruto sat beside you with a hand on the small of your back.
Kakashi exhaled softly, sat down, and ushered for Sakura to do the same. He inhaled through his nose, “(Y/N), you’re malnourished.”
You furrowed your brows as your mind processed what he had said. When the realization struck, your eyes widened and you felt sick once more. “There’s no way! I may have been training hard but I’m fine!”
“I’m not going to tell you what I’ve been seeing in front of your teammates, unless if you’re comfortable. But you need to take better care of yourself.”
“Sensei I’m f-“
“You just collapsed from severe malnourishment. You mean to tell me that you’re fine?” You couldn’t see it, but you could hear your sensei’s angry expression. Instead of lecturing, the jonin sighed.
“You’re my student. Even though it’s my job to care for your health and wellness, I care about you as if you were family. I can’t have you restricting yourself from the proper nutrients that you need as a shinobi.”
“I don’t get it.” Naruto spoke up in a gentle voice, “What does he mean by that? Is that why you don’t want to come out to get ramen with me anymore?”
While he barraged you with questions, you couldn’t help but feel awful that your teammates found out, let alone this way. FInally the questions stopped, and instead of replying, you choked on a sob as soon as your mouth opened.
Naruto pulled you into a hug and let you cry on his shoulder. “I’ve got you; you’re safe with me.” He whispered, “I’m not mad at you, if that’s what you’re worried about. I was just scared you didn’t like me anymore or something.” He said with a dry laugh.
“No… I’m sorry.” You replied as you tried to move a hand to wipe your eyes. Your strength failed you. Luckily, Naruto noticed this and helped to wipe your tears. “I just… that day that we ran into Shikamaru. He made some stupid comment, and I know it’s how he always talks to us but-“
“You don’t need to justify why you’re hurting. I don’t care what caused it, I just want to help you overcome it.” The blonde genin rubbed your back gently, cradling the back of your head with his other hand, “I care about you so much. You’re one of my best friends and I can’t bear the thought of losing another one…”
Naruto, still holding you carefully, rose to his feet and helped you settle on your own. When you were able to stand upright, he took your hand in his and opted for words of comfort and small talk.
“I know you won’t be able to down ten bowls of ramen in a sitting, but I’m happy to eat with you if it helps to keep you in check. We can talk to grandma Tsunade and see if she has any cookbooks in that big office of hers.”
When he squeezed your hand with his signature sweet smile, you knew that you truly weren’t alone.

(No TenTen)
Life as a shinobi was just fine for you starting out. Sure, your two teammates did prove to be quite the challenge for you, but you made it work nonetheless.
You had become best friends with your teammate, Rock Lee, and… acquainted with Neji.
You and Lee were thick as thieves, training together, dining together, simply spending time looking at the stars was enough for the two of you. You trusted him with everything, and he felt the same.
A fateful day that would never leave your mind occurred only a few weeks into your placement. Team Guy was assigned to a C rank mission and had about a month to train and prepare.
You had begun to work your ass off, worried that you would fall behind and cause one of your teammates to get hurt. While training, you grew a little fatigued due to bad sleep the night before.
This went unnoticed by Neji. He grinned slyly and chirped: “If you’re going to slack off so much, maybe you’d be better fit on another team. That way, you can spend your days eating and sleeping like I know you’re good at.”
From that day on, your daily intake of food decreased quickly and suddenly. You didn’t care that you constantly felt fatigued, you didn’t care that every second marked a new ache or pain, you didn’t care how much it hurt to move. You had to be an asset to your team, no matter what it took.
You began to distance yourself. You no longer wanted to be seen by anyone until you deduced you were in top shape for a shinobi. Your meals turned into just one, just the essential amount for survival.
What you didn’t expect was for Lee to gently knock on your door, only a mere two weeks away from your mission. The black-haired boy came with two bento boxes in hand and stood patiently outside your door.
When you didn’t answer, your best friend grew worried. He knocked once more… no reply. He sighed as he did what he knew he must. He used the spare key under the potted plant you kept outside, turned the lock and went in.
Lee called out for you, but was shocked to see you hunched over, clutching to your bathroom counter for dear life. Your forehead was damp with sweat as you tried to weakly rise to your feet.
The two bento were dropped to the floor and ruined out of shock and concern, but Lee couldn’t care less. He ran to your side and called your name.
You recoiled, your grip on the counter faltering and your balance disappearing. The taijutsu specialist only barely managed to catch you before you hit the ground. As you registered the situation, you were gently being picked up and placed on the couch.
Lee knelt next to your head as you recovered from your fall, holding your hand with both of his own. He stood to his feet and rushed to the kitchen to grab a cool and damp rag to splay across your forehead.
After a good fifteen minutes, you managed to sit upright. You turned to your right to see your best friend still kneeling by your head, seemingly praying, as he mouthed silent words.
“Lee…?” You asked in disbelief, still not prepared to be seen quite yet.
“Oh, (Y/N)!“ he cried, gently enveloping you in his arms. He then gently held both sides of your face, so you could meet his eye. “What happened? Are you ill?”
Your blood ran cold as you weakly moved an arm up to grab Lee’s hand. “No, I just uh… fell.”
“There’s no way I’m going to believe that. Something happened, and I am begging you to tell me!” The boy’s arms fell down to grip your shoulders softly.
“It’s true!” You helped in reply, growing more defensive, “I was going to get a tissue and then I fell!”
“You would not have been struggling the way you were if you had just fallen! Please! You have to trust that I’ll respond the way you need me t-“
“I’m weak!” You finally cried out, “I’m so damn weak! It’s all I am anymore!” Lee wasted no time pulling you into another soft embrace, rubbing your back with one hand, while cradling the back of your head with another.
“I can’t even stand on my own two feet anymore. I’m sick all of the time, everything hurts and I’m just so tired of it! To think that he caused this many problems!” You yelled as you fell into a fit of heavy sobs.
“(Y/N), my flower, who has caused you to be in such a state of suffering? And what’s been going on over the past few weeks?”
“I’m too weak to be a shinobi, Lee.” You whispered shamefully, “All I do is fall behind. I-I thought that if I just lost all of my extra weight that I wouldn’t be a burden but… Even though it’s all gone, I feel worse than I did before. I think I need to just quit… God knows Neji would celebrate me leaving.”
The taijutsu specialist’s embrace became tighter. “I will speak to Guy Sensei about Neji. As for you, I’d like to start spending mealtime with you. Does that seem like something you would like?”
Unable to rationalize a sentence, you continued crying, but nodded into his shoulder.
“Then it’s settled.” Lee said with a hint of triumph, “(Y/N) (L/N), I swear on my life that I will help you to return to your old self. I will help you to see that you were placed on a team with me and Guy Sensei for a reason. I’ll help you to recover from this awful illness that our shameful “teammate” has put you through.”
“I swear on my life as a ninja… I, Rock Lee, will stay by your side. No matter how much you shoo me away, fight against me, refuse my offerings, no matter the amount of bad days you have, or meals you cannot bear to eat, I will help you through them all. Together we will work hard and never give up, for that is my nindō, soon to be our ninja way.”
You finally managed to return Lee’s hug. You squeezed the heavens out of him as you just about tackled him to the floor. He held you in his lap, refusing to let you go until you were truly ready.
Rock Lee kept his promise to you. Day by day, you seemed to show positive signs of recovery. You were back to your old self, and ready to finish some last minute training before your team’s mission.
As you repeated an old routine, you grew much more tired than usual. As Lee opened his mouth to sing of your praises, instead a snide voice filled your ears. “Still lacking in the physicality department? Maybe you’re just destined to be a failure.”
Before you could process Neji’s comment, Lee’s fist had collided harshly with his face.
You had never seen your best friend so… feral. You could practically see flames burning in his irises. His usually cheerful voice was emitted in a low growl, almost as if he was holding back from yelling.
“Don’t you dare speak to anyone like that, Neji! You never know what a person may be facing in their daily life. You are a horrible teammate, and quite rude to assume that (Y/N) isn’t working their behind off like the rest of us.”
As Guy Sensei came to give Lee an earful, you shot the boy a sympathetic smile, and held up your hands in a heart shape toward him.
Recovery wouldn’t be easy. But with Lee there to beat up all of those people who were making it difficult, you knew you could overcome any challenge.

(No Rock Lee)
Your time on team Guy was one filled with… adventure so to say. Your Sensei kept rambling on and on about the power of youth and all that junk.
You had found refuge in your aloof teammate, Neji. Overtime, he began to appreciate your company. You were happy to be friends with Neji, he was the perfect balance of calm but still goofy when you get him behind closed doors.
You and Neji began to spend some time together. You would spend time just walking through the village, or trying new restaurants that popped up. Sometimes he would take you to his favorite spot by Hokage Mountain.
Finally happy to have a true best friend, your time with Guy became bearable. That is, until your jealous teammate had to go and run her mouth. (I KNOW SHE WOULDNT BUT ITS FOR THE SAKE OF PLOT MSORRY BB 😭😭)
“Y’know, if you want Neji to like you, you’ve got to start to try harder on looking your best.” She looked you up and down with a prideful smile, “You’ve got quite a long way to go.”
You immediately furrowed your brows, and opened your mouth to tell her he was just your friend, but she had already left with a chuckle.
From that point on, you wondered if you were truly not good enough to even be Neji’s friend. He was from such a venerated clan of Shinobi and you didn’t want to be a burden or an embarrassment to him. So, you did what you thought you had to do.
Three meals turned to one, low training time turned into half the day consumed by routines, you barely slept at night, constantly trying to improve yourself. It didn’t matter how negatively it impacted you. When the numbers on the scale went down, you were happy.
You had unfortunately cut off most of your contact with the outside world, only keeping Guy sensei’s contact information for absolute dire emergencies.
Sometimes, he would reach out to ask where you were, and why you were missing training. You’d only reply by saying that you had caught something nasty, so you were trying to heal your immune system before you went back outside.
One day, your “sickness” had caught up to you. When you stood up to continue your training, your vision went almost black.
Your head throbbed as well as your stomach. You broke out into a sweat as your knees buckled and you fell harshly to the ground. You grimaced as you reached for your phone.
“Call Guy Sensei.” You commanded through gritted teeth.
When the older man picked up, you heard the sound of shuriken and kunai hitting trees. “Hello there, dear (Y/N)! How are you feeling?”
“B-bad. Sensei I need… I need help, something’s really wrong.” You said as your breathing began to quicken and tears rushed into your eyes, “I can’t stand anymore and I can barely see.”
“Okay, we’re on the way. Stay where you are, little one.”
“Wait no! Don’t bring them with y-“ *click* the line had gone off. What were you going to do? You hadn’t seen any of them in a long time… what would they think of you now? What would Neji think?
After a short wait, your front door turned open. You heard your sensei’s voice echo through your home, and you weakly choked out that you were in your bedroom. Two pairs of feet pounded across your floor, signifying that he had only brought one of your teammates along.
“(Y/N)- oh my- it’s okay we’ve got you now.” Guy said in a gentle voice, picking you up and holding you like a baby koala. “You’re going to be alright.”
As soon as your hand landed on Guy’s shoulder to hold onto him, it was taken by another… it was Neji’s hand.
“(Y/N) I… I wish you had told me your illness had come to this extent.” He mumbled, rubbing the base of your thumb with his own.
Your Sensei helped to lay you down on the couch, all while Neji still held your hand as if you’d disappear if he didn’t. “My dear (Y/N), why didn’t you reach out for help earlier?” Guy asked as he knelt next to you, placing a cool and damp rag on your head.
“I… I had it under control. This was the first time this had happened, I swear!” You came to your own defense quickly.
“What do you mean you had it under control?” Neji’s cool voice cut in. His grip on your hand began to falter.
“Wait no- I didn’t mean that. What I meant to say was-“
“Please don’t lie to us. We just want you to be better.” Your Sensei said, brushing your hair out of your face.
You bit down on your lip harshly, leaving a small indentation. Your eyes darted between the two males before you. Should you try to cover?
You sighed and closed your eyes. “It’s so stupid. Neither of you would understand. What matters now is that I know my limits and that this won’t happen again.”
“(Y/N) (L/N).” Neji’s tone had darkened, he had placed his other hand on the small of your back to gently sit you up, “Is it because Sensei is here? Or is it because I’m here? Because if one of us needs to leave then-“
“No! I just-“ sobs bubbled up from deep within your chest. “I don’t want to be a burden to anyone anymore.”
The Hyuga boy released your hand and pulled you into a soft embrace, gently rubbing your back. “You are the furthest thing from a burden, (Y/N).”
“I didn’t… I didn’t want to be an embarrassment to your family, Neji. After what TenTen said, I realized I had a long way to go before I could even consider being worthy to your family. I figured I should start with my physique… it wasn’t supposed to go this far.”
“I think I understand…” Neji replied. “Firstly, I want you to understand that whatever TenTen said is a blatant lie. You have no reason to alter your physical appearance so to please me or my family. I became friends with you for a reason. The way you look is not one of them.”
“Secondly, you have my full support in this journey. I can’t help but want to see you become your old self again. It’s going to be a difficult and painful recovery, but I’ll be right by your side. I’ll help you cook, have meals with you, find you new training routines, anything you might need.”
“This isn’t your fault, (Y/N). I will be having a… personal talk with our teammate later. But for now I’d like to stay with you until you’re back on your feet. Is that something you can allow me to do?”
“Mhm. But can we play some shogi later? “ you asked softly, head leaning on his shoulder. Realizing you were still in an embrace, Neji quickly pulled back.
“No, no. Your shoulder’s really comfy and I’m sleepy.” You replied, making grabby hands for him.
Neji chuckled and hugged you once again. “We can play shogi later. First, you get some well deserved rest.”
Once you had fallen asleep, Neji placed your head gently on a pillow beneath you. He sighed, finally rising to his feet. “Sensei? I’m going to talk to TenTen. You need to come with me. ”
“Sure, my boy. But… why do you need me to go with you?”
With pupils blown from rage, the Hyuga replied simply, “To make sure I don’t kill her.”

Drunk Sex With Neji

Tumblr media
You and Neji didn't get along. He made fun of you and insulted you at every chance he could get. You responded with your insults, never backing down, and sometimes leaving him in a stunned silence. The two of you had left in different directions, but by coincidence, you two wound up at the same bar. You both had enough of each other and needed a drink to calm each other down. Neither one of you saw the other. Until you heard a distinct voice talking about some person - that person being Neji, the person he was talking about was you.
"They're so annoying, their whining voice and their stupidity," Neji says to the guy next to him as he forcefully sets his glass down.
You turned your attention to see and listen to the conversation, Neji not realizing you were here or knew what he was saying. You couldn't help but smile. Despite your attitude towards him and his attitude towards you, you liked him. However, you weren't sure if he felt the same as you did. 
For several hours, he continued drinking and rambling. You drinking as well. You two had just a little too much to drink but were conscious enough to know exactly what was going on and what wasn't.
"You know, for someone who doesn't like me, you sure do talk about me a lot~," you said as you tried to step out of the bar carefully, following after Neji.
"I don't like you!" He says as he looks over at you. "Your underwear is quite lovely for once." He attempted to embarrass you.
"I knew it! Why don't we go back to my place~,"
"Your disgusting place? Absolutely not. My place is far better and nicer."
You smiled as you stepped closer and placed a hand on his arm. "Let's go then."
He took his hand in your own, leading you back to his place. It was a painfully slow walk and an even longer journey to his room. The both of you stepped into his room. 
"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, if you think you can handle this~,"
"Of course I can."
"Prove it." You say, taking a step closer to him.
He stepped closer to you and pressed you against the wall. His hand was on the wall, the other on your side as he trapped you. His lips met your and his hand slowly slid under your shirt. Your lips were on his, your hand grasping at the hem of his shirt. He broke away to remove his shirt, while you removed yours. The rest of his clothes and yours were soon gone as well.
He picked you up and placed you on the bed. He soon began to finger/stroke you, making sure you both were wet before he slid himself into you. He paused for a moment, letting you become comfortable before he thrust into you, his hips rocking back and forth. His hands were on your hips as you rocked your hips into him. Letting out a moan as he hit harder into you. Your noises combined and filled the air as his pace quickened.

Congrats on the 1k followers 🥳 I can never 😭 Can I have a Naruto matchup but if you don’t know that I would settle for Spy x family or Haikyuu
Prompt : “I didn’t have anywhere else to go”
Looks : I am 5”3. I have black wavy hair that’s up to my back but I put in a ponytail most of the time. I have hazel eyes that are round and have a mole under my right eye. I also have honey skin. I’m a girl btw.
Personality: I am an Aquarius and Intj. I am also Bi. At first glance, I appear to have a methodical demeanour, and am always composed. My way of thinking is very practical and logical, so I won't engage in things that do not concern me or need my interference. For those who spend more time with me, however, I am a very intelligent, patient and kind person who has unconditional devotion to my work, family, and friends. I tend to throw playful verbal jabs and crack jokes, though I must admit most people don't tend to understand my humour. That being said, my treatment towards people I don’t like severely differs from how i treat everyone else, to the point that they describe me as "frigid, reserved, and barely flickering with emotion" ( My friends and family gave this description and I hate my sis) This, of course, is far from the truth, as I merely have control of my emotions, which is important for someone in my eyes. I am not without my vulnerable moments and will cry alone when I need to. I might be hard working but unlike the family I grew up in, I am not the most energetic, except with her best friend and sister . I tend to be blunt, not caring to beat around the bush unless it's for more delicate matters, and can snap at others if pushed too far. As a kid I spent most of the time inside studying, but my introverted self didn’t seem to be bothered by that decision. I was always joyous, innocent and naive as a kid but as I grew older I realised that in order to live a better life I need to be firm on herself. I am also hopelessly romantic. ( My friends and family described me as this, and I think it sort of suits )
Likes and Dislikes: I love reading and watching anime. I also love cats and chocolate ( my partner better back of my sweets )
I absolutely hate insects that crawl ( Sorry Shino )
Type : I have a thing for dark hair people or a blonde, bonus points if they have pretty eyes. They have to be mature and can take care of themselves, but love to get babied around since it’s adorable. I love boys that give of a mysterious vibe and that’s hot. Someone who isn’t afraid to speak up from themselves and their loved ones. They are willing to sacrifice if it means the people they love live on. Someone who can help me loosen up my strings and make me more energetic. The sun to my moon. The Yang to my yin. They have a certain goal and will do anything to achieve it. In a short example I like boy who are smart, ambitious, stubborn, joyful yet they have a sweet soft reserved for some
A/N: I love Naruto! I’ve also seen Spy x Family (though I’m not caught up yet). I hope you enjoy 💕

TW: fire, burning building, loosing a home due a fire, fluff
Fandom: Naruto (Neji x Reader)
Tumblr media
The night had started peacefully enough. It was one of those quiet, cool nights with a crisp breath. You had relished in the wind as you walked home that night. Today’s mission had turned out to be a little more of a hassle than you thought. You were just glad Neji was there to back you up. You smiled as you rounded a corner onto the block where your house was.
Immediately you knew something wasn’t right. It was warmer here, and there were black ashes in the wind. Your instincts took over and you ran home. Only to find your home wasn’t a home anymore. What was left of the small apartment building was engulfed in flames, the rest embers.
They had said a neighbor’s heater caused the fire. Some scarf or blanket put atop it, they said. Now you had nowhere to go.
You walked aimlessly for what seemed like hours. The moon had reached its peak by the time you walked up to familiar, traditional doors. This was Neji’s place. You knocked softly and waited for an answer. Neji answered the door moments later.
“Y/N?” he rasped, sleep coating his voice.
Tears welled in your eyes. You supposed you’d cry, but why was this the trigger of all things? You sniffled and wiped the tears from your cheeks.
“I don’t have anywhere else to go.”
You choked on a small cry as Neji scooped you in a hug. He had always been softer with you, more kind. He shushed you softly as he ran his fingers through your hair.
“It’s okay. Stay with me. We’ll take one thing at a time.” He took a deep, shaky breath. “It’ll be okay.”
Maybe it was the way he kissed your temple softly, but you believed him.

You've told him your favorite band/singer once.
It's not because he didn't like their music, of course not; it was more like you didn't want to talk about it since you've been wanting to go to one of their concerts at least once in your life but have never gotten the chance.
You never really mentioned what you wanted to do.
It was just one little mistake from Jirou that took himself to notice why didn't you play music while being with him or even anywhere with people.
It was just a little mistake that took him to buy both of you tickets for each concert in the country they'd have this year.
" Hey Y/n, did you get that figure from (favorite band/singer) you wanted so much ?" -Jirou asked innocently while you were playing with your phone at the couch in the common rooms, Shoto next to you reading some news at his phone as well.
You turned to look at her as fast as you could with a shocked face, not really knowing how to reply since; first: you didn't get it, sadly, second: you've agreed with her to talk about music when being alone.
" Everyone got their reasons for each action or decision they took " that'show you excused yourself that first time talking about music with her.
" I-I mean, how are you guys doing ?" she changed the subject quickly, but Shoto of course noticed her slightly scared face from looking at yours, which he couldn't since yours was turned at her.
You've been wanting to buy a new figure ? now that he thinks about it, yes, he's seen some special or limited edition packed things in your room in a super secluded area inside a cabinet.
So he proposed himself to get know a little more about them, and maybe one day subtly ask you to know how much a fan are you or if you've gone to a concert.
Yes, concerts, loud music, many people singing, blinding lights, dancing or anything that had to do with expressing yourself through some kind of art has never been his forte. You knew it too, that's why even having this year the opportunity to attend to one of ( favorite band/singer )'s concert you didn't even considered it as an option.
Lying to yourself saying there's not enough time for studying if you so wanted to go.
That's also why you never expected him to invite you to their concert.
" Y/n, do you want to go to a concert with me ?" he asked as bluntly as ever. One week before the special date.
Your eyes lighted up along with excitement and shock. Have you made obvious about not ever going to a concert ? Why so sudden ? Is it coincidence it's this close to ( favorite band/singer )'s concert ?
You stared at him maybe a little to much. " Y/n ?" he kept looking deeply in your eyes to search any hint of happiness to know if that's what you've been really wanting to do.
Tilting his head a little to the right, he seemed like a confused kitten right now.
Focusing on the main question again, you answered " Y-Yes! which band or singer ?!" you asked back, your mind going wild with thougths of it being your lovely ( band/singer ).
" U-Uhm I guess you know them too, you talked about it when we started dating and even Jirou asked if you got the opportunity to buy a figure of them... " he couldn't remember the name of the band at the right moment since watching as your face turned as bright as the sun caught him off of guard.
" ( FAVORITE BAND/ SINGER ) ?!" you exclaimed standing up from your bed, grabbing his hands with an unimaginable delicacy compared to how you were expressing yourself.
He couldn't hide the little smile from his face at your excited one " Yes, I thought you'd like to go " " Of course !".
" Perfect, because I wasn't going to take no for an answer ".
Tumblr media
He notices when your mood drops.
So when he saw a little pout on your face while you were watching some news in your phone, he knew something was going on with you. And decided to ask without further ado.
" What's wrong my lovor ?!" ( 🪼 : Don't mind me, I just came up with the idea of mixin the word: love and: amor ( love in Spanish ) = lovor... sounds just like you pronounce lover ) he said with his characteristic and beatiful smile and a little frown meaning he was confused at your sudden change of behaviour.
" Look at this... " you showed him the article you were reading, announcing ( favorite band/singer )'s concert in Japan for the following month but as his eyes read more, he found the price of the entrance tickets. Almost 50,000¥ each of them.
His eyes told you everything, he knew how much you loved ( favorite band/singer ) since he's a big fan himself too. Ever since the day you showed him which music you liked the most he was eager to hear more and talk about your likings or new songs from different genres, different languages and, who knows, maybe end up dancing some of them in one of your dorms.
After some silence, he finally came up with an idea.
But decided to hide it from you for a while until you caught him red-handed working at some shop to save money and pay those tickets for you.
" Sero! You shouldn't have done that... I know you like ( favorite band/singer ) but at least you would have let me help you " you said ashamed and flustered by Sero's pure actions.
" Well, fortunately, this was my last day here, since I've already saved enough for the tickets and maybe some more for ( favorite band/singer )'s signed T-shirts which we can get at the same event ! Now, the important question, would you like to go with me ?"
Tumblr media
She didn't notice right away, but when she did, oh my, she was all for it.
She started taking note from some odd behaviour you showed the last two months.
How long you spent talking and dancing some ( favorite band/singer )'s songs. Of course she loved it, and maybe even joined you for a couple of dances, but didn't take the hint.
You knew she wouldn't understand at first, but didn't want to just tell here to accompany you to the concert, which was 3 months after you started showing off more and more about it.
The clock was ticking and the date before the event was closer, Nejire still not knowing what was wrong with you.
It was only one night when you had invited her to come in your room to watch some movies at night, at the time she had arrived, you fell asleep leaving the door open.
She couldn't hold it, maybe she'd find what was bothering you, she started picking and observing many things at your dorm.
Until she accidentally dropped little-rectangular-paper forms, and with the bare light lighting that precious space of yours, she had to use some of her quirk to read what was written on them.
"( Favorite band/singer )'s concert at Japan, date, place, thanks for your purchase !" Signed by the same one( s ) that you were always so happy to hear, Nejire finally connected everything.
The following day, expect her to be pouting showing you the tickets she found searching for an explanation of why didn't you tell her sooner. But just as you tell her the reason, she'll be hugging you.
" Thank you my dear, but next time I'll be the one taking you to another concert, and don't be ashamed to invite me !" each word said smiling closing her eyes.
                                                                                                
🪼 : I'm sad 😔 probably the next headcanon will be about them during the concert ? ... however, thank you so much for reading, you, my precious story !

Out of My Mind | Chapter Three
Masterlist | Previous / Next
Shikamaru Nara x GNReader x Neji Hyuga
Coming from a prominent and secretive clan in the Hidden Leaf Village was already bad enough. Your justu was rarely ever seen and mostly hidden by the protective nature of your father and the elders of your clan. You were taught from a young age how to fight and you were easily one of the best fighters your age. Your secretive nature doesn’t keep the attention off of you, especially not from two of the brightest people in the chunin exams with you.
| family dynamics, asshole elders, talks of an arranged marriage, playing with the format, unfortunately it’s safe to assume that the reader is more than likely afab. But it will still remain as neutral as I can make it, I promise
Word Count: 1836
Tumblr media
Something that you always understood was inevitable as you grew from a small child was the talk of an arranged marriage. Since discharging from the hospital, you had noticed that your elders had found the matter more pressing than ever. Your father had put the talk off for as long as he was able to, but with a near death experience during an exam, he could no longer protect you from your own family. As much as he wished for you to have a choice in who you love and end up with, he knows that your focus is on your career as a ninja, which opens up the door for everyone else to take charge of that part of your life.
So as much as you hated it, even as you’re still bandaged and suffering the consequences of the battle you were in, you still sit silently in your formalwear as representative after representative for different clans comes in and vouches for what family you should marry into, or rather that they be allowed to marry into your own.
You sit up a little more as one of your clan’s servants pours another serving of hot tea into your cup while another clears the now empty spot before you and your father. Elders sat on either side of you at the table, leaving the seats directly across from you and your father open and welcome for your guests and potential suitors.
Your elders were quite pleased with the selection of men available to you, all coming from prominent families. They were, however, strongly displeased with the site of you and how uninterested you seemed in the whole ordeal. While your father was rather amused, knowing your tolerance for this whole situation was nearly nonexistent, he would still occasionally nudge you in order for you to give some type of response to those across from you, vying for your hand in marriage.
“Next is the Hyuga clan.” You sigh again, entirely disinterested as two new cups were set down on the table across from you. You pick up your own cup and take a slow, careful sip of the piping hot tea. Your gaze lifts, having expected to see a very different member of the clan in question, someone lower on the totem pole, not Neji Hyuga and his uncle.
Neji would rather be anywhere else and if it weren’t for the curse mark on his forehead, he’s positive that he would actually be anywhere else but under the wing of his uncle who had killed his father.
He hated him.
Hiashi knew this…
But he also knew the importance of getting the L/N clan on the Hyuga’s side. Both men knew how vital it would be to have the bloodlines mesh and Hiashi wasn’t sure he could wait for the possibility of any grandchildren to marry into the L/N clan. He also knew that the L/N’s would like demand that Neji renounce any claim to the Hyuga line and devote himself solely to Y/N if there was a union between the two.
“I see the two of you know each other.” Hiashi Hyuga nods towards you, greeting you and your father politely.
You nod quietly, though you’re giving a much better reaction than your elders had expected and it seems to them that a match with the great Hyuga clan may be possible. This was the most you’d interacted with a suitor all day.
“How are you feeling?”
It takes you a good long pause to realize that Neji had asked the question, more importantly that he had asked you the question. You lift your head and manage a small smile in his direction, “Sore, mostly, but I’m managing.”
“Well you wouldn’t have to manage anything if you would just listen to us and not become a ninja!” One of the elders speaks up, scolding you and raising their voice as they go.
Instead of retorting to the verbal assault like Neji has seen you do in passing to your teammates when they simply pick at you, you fall silent, dropping your head in submission to the old, dare he say, hag.
He’s surprised.
In fact, Neji is so surprised that he does something he never thought he would ever have done in a million years. He speaks out and stands up for you.
“Y/N is a great ninja. They deserve every chance to show off just how strong they are. They lost one battle after days of being out in a forest with little food, no water, and having already fought and sustained many injuries in order to get into the preliminaries. They deserve to be a ninja if they do very well decide to be.”
Silence falls over the room and you can almost hear the servants gasping, bracing for a swift hit, or to witness the dangerous power of the illusion jutsu as it’s finest on a guest. However, it never happens.
The look on Neji’s face is stern and never wavering, his brows furrowed as he waits for the elder to challenge him. He only looks away when he notices you move, entirely missing the proud smile on your father’s face or the exchanged glances between him and Hiashi.
You offer him a small smile and nod, a silent thank you for coming to your defense and surprisingly silencing the elder. Though you know that their vote in favor of the man was suddenly retracted in his defiance, possibly ruining any hopes they had of you marrying him of all people.
Your father clears his throat, quietly suggesting that you take a break and a walk through the gardens. Hiashi nudges Neji and suggests the same, leaving you to wonder how hard your father would be fighting for you to marry the only man you’d shown any emotion towards while the elders would now be dead set on making sure the union would never come from anyone who defied or disobeyed them.
As you try to stand, still aching from your injuries, Neji works his way around to you, slipping an arm carefully beneath yours and guiding you slowly to your feet. His arm remains linked with yours as he carefully guides you out of the house and you can already hear the same elder who had scolded you raising her voice at your father.
“You didn’t need to stand up for me.”
“You’re not one to usually take that kind of heat either though.”
“My aunts and uncles are different.” Well technically they were your fathers aunts and uncles. “They tried to forbid me from becoming a Ninja because I’m the sole heir to the clan…”
“That’s ridiculous…” He whispers, “Whether you became a ninja or not, you would still face dangers for simply being the sole heir.” He falls silent as he observes you, coming to a stop and helping you to sit on the stone carved bench in the gardens in front of a small koi pond. “Why didn’t your father ever have any more children if this is such an issue?”
You laugh at the question, though it’s dry and unamused, “My mother died when I was a child and my father always said he could never put a woman through a loveless marriage for the sake of the elders… So here I am. The only child and sole heir. His brothers are dead and they never had children… It’s up to me.”
He doesn’t say anything after that, opting to face the pond in silence, a small show of respect to your mother whom he never knew and you could barely remember. He breaks the silence not a moment later, “What happens if they decide we’re the best fit for one another? Your father didn’t want a loveless marriage but you’ll be forced into one…”
“Ouch, Neji.”
He narrows his eyes, a silent warning.
“I suppose… They will have you renounce any Hyuga claim you may have…”
He scoffs, “I’m from a branch house, there is no claim there.”
You roll your eyes, poking your tongue in your cheek before glancing away from him again. “If we are to be married, they’ll have us go through a courtship first… dates and shit. Our children will more than likely have my clan’s name… If we have any.”
“If we don’t?”
“Then I suppose I’ll be disowned.”
Oh…
“I never thought I’d be in a situation like this. I suppose Hinata’s father wants to gather as much power as possible and assumes that combining our clans will give him that.”
You smirk at this, “Bold of your uncle to assume that he’ll gain anything from us. If my elders have anything to do with it, Hiashi and the Hyuga clan will gain nothing from us but a few children from us. The illusion jutsu has been a prized secret of my clan for centuries. This wouldn’t be the Hyuga’s first attempt at trying to get our secret and it won’t be the last.”
Silence again.
Neji liked the sound of that. He liked the defiance by you and your family, denying his own clan of something they’ve sought out for ages. He would happily be a part of that, even playing dumb for his spouse and children if it meant defying the clan that has made his life hell… But now he’s beginning to realize just what his father meant all those years ago about getting you on his side.
You were his chance to escape.
“Do you think we could ever love each other?”
That was the loaded question you’d been asking yourself since you left that hot and stuffy room, but you’re more surprised that it fell from his lips before your own.
You glance at him, finding his gaze already locked on your face. “The only example of love I’ve ever seen is that of my father visiting my mothers grave. I have no…”
“I don’t either.”
“Then… I guess we will just have to learn then.”
“I suppose so,” he whispers, trailing off as he hears your father calling for the two of you, no doubt to announce your new engagement to one another. He quietly stands and offers you a hand, helping you to your feet much like he’d done before coming out to the garden.
This time the walk back to the house felt like it was dragging. He was about to be told he’d be married to you in the next year, he was sure of it. And as the two of you stop before the two middle aged men and your elders, the words fall from their lips, encouraging the two of you to spend more time with one another, he thinks he’s imagining you squeezing his arm and the way your body relaxes at the announcement.
He can’t help but feel relieved too…
You’d do well to make them your friend. They may be of some help to you one day.
I understand, father.

NARUTO OMEGAVERSE ☆
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
୨୧ alpha! naruto au x omega! reader (f)
— what they would give you as a courting gift (pairing : naruto, shikamaru, sasuke, itachi, rock lee, neji)
my masterlist : ☆
Tumblr media
ALPHA! NARUTO
naruto is a joyous and energetic person, his gift are as vibrant as him. in order to court you, he would definitely take you out on some dates. ichiraku ramen sounds like the perfect place to begin his courting! it's a place which holds countless of precious memories for him and he wants you to get to know him better. he's someone who speaks his mind, so I think he'll really talk openly about his desires and interests in you, it's one of the rare times he's being serious and it's truly a sight to see.
onto a more materialistic approach, naruto will 100% gifts you plushies. he thinks it's an adorable way to connect the both of you. extra points if the plushie is the effigy of kurama! he will sometimes scent it, sometimes not. it all depends on how you react to them, he'll pay attention to your reactions and decides if that was the right move.
I also think naruto will choose a more natural and spontaneous courting, surprising you with cute and funny outings. helping you escape at night so you can both see the stars together. he'll throw cute notes at you to cheer you up during class...
overall, naruto just wishes to spend more time with you, make you laugh and smile. he really considers your happy face as a reward, it literally makes his day. he wants the both of you to know each other and grow closer.
ALPHA! SASUKE
now sasuke is definitely more reserved in his approach and less explicit about his feelings for you. nonetheless, he won't stay on the sidelines and let other alphas steal you from him. I don't think he'll give you gifts at the very beginning, he's prudent and will first and foremost test the waters by subtly scenting you at times and assess your reaction. if he considers it a green light, he'll start acting more assertive. probably a few stargazing sessions to begin with and when you start to get closer, he'll be more possessive about his courting.
I think he would give an item related to his clan. it could be a luxurious silk robe with the uchiha crest at its back. he would love to see you wear it, in his mind, it serves as a symbol of unity and pride, having his omega wear that would reinforce the seriousness of your relationship along with solidifying his potential claim on you.
in the same spirit, later into the courting, sasuke would gift you a uchiha clan heirloom. that way, he puts you under his protection and his claim on you is now strong and clear, serving as a warning to all alphas that you're his. its strengthens your bond as it's a deep acknowledgment of the importance your hold in his life.
and in fact, sasuke's gift serves as a proof of his commitment to you and your relationship and it feels reassuring to know that he considers you as a member of his clan.
ALPHA! SHIKAMARU
as expected of shikamaru, he has a pretty good understanding of omegas' nature and will therefore, make pretty good gifts. he has a pretty laidback behaviour, this is why I think he wouldn't want to make courting seems too ceremonial and will adopt a more casual approach. oh you're cold ? here's his jacket, scented. you don't even have to ask, shikamaru is just great at making things seem so normal. you mentioned you liked soft items ? here's a cute blanket he bought today, no it's not really a gift, just a thanks for spending the day with him. and it's just that. of course if you're careful you'll catch him blushing if he sees you snuggling his scarf, it's redolent with his pheromones and he's pleased to see you look so safe.
other than that, it's mainly lazy indoor dates. just you taking a few naps, progressively getting closer to each other until you eventually fall asleep on his chest.
overall, shikamaru likes to do things according to your tastes and doesn't want his courting to seem unnatural and bizarre. he tries his best to be his usual self while also trying not to get too shy, surprisingly.
ALPHA! ROCK LEE
lee is a great alpha, always cheering you on. he's very open about his love for you and he just needs you to give in. of course he knows you're more reserved and needs more time to get to know him before you can make a decision. that's why he's so patient and devoted to you during the courting process. flowers, cheesy love notes, wood sculptures with your initials... with lee it's never ending and you're always surprised with what he was able to come up with.
he will give you gifts, but he'll also often take you out on dates for fun adventures, at least that's what he calls them. genuinely thinks rock climbing & hiking are the best ideas. if he discovers you're not sporty at all, don't worry! lee is more than happy to carry you around, take your hands to help you walk through a particularly tricky path and asks you if you need a break every five minutes. he takes it as his chance to prove to you how alpha, how reliable he is. how much his unwavering determination and passion are yours only.
probably will try cooking snacks, like cookies or brownies but I don't think he's that much of a cook so it'll end up messy. you'll have to console him about this fail attempt and reassure him that you can be the one cooking for him instead!
ALPHA! NEJI
neji is a great observer, he has your tastes and hobbies all figured out and he knows how to choose the perfect gifts. he is very gentle with the omega he is trying to court and his gifts are as thoughtful as you can imagine. small accessories! after assessing what you like, he'll settle on a small hairpin with soft colours, which compliment your eyes. jewelry as well! a subtle bracelet, a ring or anything, just to remind you that he thinks about you all the time. it's a way to show people that you too are connected and that neji is already pursuing you, the others can back off.
he knows you're sensitive to smells, so probably a few candles with sweet fragrant and cute designs. perfumes? (or insence burner) as long as he likes the smell, he's buying. he loves to know you're wearing the scent he has chosen for you, it's like a pre-mark. it's not his scent yet but it's only a matter of time.
however, neiji will not force things, you'll wear his pheromones yes, but only when you feel ready and you have completely accepted him.
a delicately sewed kimono, or an item you'll be able to wear more easily, like a scarf, gloves... but! his favourite courting gift and the gift which really sealed your relationship is the cute pendant around your neck, carrying a piece of his cloth so that you always smell like him. it's subtle, but enough for the time being, he'll have plenty more time later to scent you profusely!
ALPHA! ITACHI
to. provide.
this man's main goal is to provide for you and to show you he can do it. he's reliable and he's desperate to have a chance with you. please notice him.
while getting to know him, you'll get plenty of nest items, scented of course. a lot of blankets, a few pillows and some of his clothes, he'll give it all to you. he'll even help you build your nest if you let him, he's not so sure about what he's doing but he's attentive and learns fast so you can count on him!
he'll get you food as well. you'll never be hungry with itachi. when you meet up, if he didn't already brought snacks with him, you can be sure he'll buy some later just for you. you paying isn't even a option.
just like his brother, he'll give you clothes you can wear on a daily basis with the uchiha clan crest on them. all that to assure your protection and to claim you, nobody wants to meet a jealous uchiha anyways.
he's a bit quiet at times so he'll use notes to share his feelings. it's always really touching and delicate, you know he means it.

Their Reactions To You Offering Them Flowers || Naruto characters x reader 3
A/n : This grew in my mind a while ago as well. I hope you'll like it
Naruto Headcanons series : 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
Warnings : Contains both fluff and slow burn-ish ends ( under the cut ) but seriously there is nothing harmful, like at all. And sad-ish for Sasori but fluff at the end

Sasuke Uchiha : He was doing the dishes. He turned around when he felt you entering the kitchen. He slightly side eyed the bouquet you were holding delicately in your hands “What is that for ?” But you extended it towards him “It’s for you” you beamed. “You can set them there” he said pointing to the kitchen table, a hint of pink appearing on his cheeks. You knew he liked it even if he struggled to express it. Though he started to feel remorse for not acknowledging your present properly and with the due happiness it deserved. so the next day he made himself go to the flower shop and bought you one as well. Yes, the seller was shocked to see the Sasuke Uchiha come to their shop, and ask for help on a flower arrangement with a cold, distant tone. When he gave them to you still with a hint of pink on his cheeks, he saw the glint in your eyes and it made everything better.
Naruto Uzumaki : Flowers ?!? NO WAY ?!? He is just so excited. Seriously you could have given him some grass he would have been genuinely happy as it’s from you. He engulfs you in a bone crushing hug “Aaaah Y/n thank you thank you thank you !!” he screams. You’re so pleased to see this glint of pure joy in his eyes. He wants to know everything about them. He is so eager to put them in a pot. You help him. Unfortunately one dies in the process. So Here you are 45 later walking in the forest looking for THE perfect flower to add to the other. Well his tummy ended up having the better of him and you guys finished your stroll in the forest at Ichiraku’s. As if this could have ended in another way.
Itachi Uchiha : He was cooking when you entered your house. He knew you were going straight to him as he felt your aura approaching him “Hello my Love. Did you enjoy your day ?” Instead of answering him you just handed him the bouquet a huge smile plastered on your face. Which was quickly reciprocated on his own face “Thank you Precious this means a lot” he said carefully cradling the flowers against his chest. He extended a hand to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear as he left a white flower there “They are almost as beautiful as you. Almost” his voice was soft as he gazed into your eyes, silently asking permission to kiss you. Which you granted directly with a nod. He set a gentle hand on your cheek and pulled you closer to him eager to taste your lips once again. He peppered your lips with soft kisses expressing the depth of his love and longing for you. The next day he too was going to surprise you, with the velvety box he brought a week ago and safely tucked in his drawer.
Sai : Bro is so goofy. When you extended the bouquet towards him his face changed to a sad expression “I’m sorry for your loss” Your eyes widened “Sai my love no one died. They’re for you” Now it was the turn of his eyes to widen “Ooooh I see… thank you ?” he said. He didn’t really know how to act, as he never was gifted in this way. Though he couldn’t help the fireworks in his heart as you handed them in his hands. He put them against his heart “I’ll cherish them. Let me just- no here. Come here and hold them. I’m going to draw you” You complied happily and let him guide you into the pose he had in mind.
Neji Hyuga : When you handed him the flowers he looked at you with a surprised look. He was the man so why are you giving him the flowers ? Wasn’t it supposed to be the other way around ? Or maybe you had enough waiting for him to gift you so you did this to wake him up ? “Sunshine just take them. It’s from the bottom of my heart. I love you” He smiled softly at your words as he took the bouquet. Despite his reserved nature he took a step towards you and engulfed you in a gentle embrace, before giving a kiss to your neck “Thank you Y/n. I’ll do them honor and take good care of them” he stated, still holding you. You gave him a big smile. Even it was just flowers you were immensely happy that he wanted to cherish them like this.
Rock Lee : You don’t even have time to give them to him. The moment he understands it’s for him he knock your off your feet. He literally tackles you to the ground. Hot stream of tears strimming down how face - even some snot down his knows - as he nuzzles against your side “You don’t even know how this touches me deep in my heart ! I will cherish ad protect them with my life ! I will never forget your present ! Ever !” You laughed at his enthusiasm “Lee it’s just flowers. You don't need to get yourself into this state” you said rubbing his back hoping no one will come at the training ground and see you both on the ground, and also that he didn’t crush the flowers with his body. But when he helps you up from the ground and finally takes the flowers he sees a a petal falling from the bouquet almost in slow motion. His irises seem to shatter into fragments of glass as the petal hits the ground "NOOO ! I'm so sorry ! How could I let this happen ?!?" You began to reassure him "Don't worry, it would have happened sooner or later" And as he cried on your shoulder, you promised yourself to buy something that was less likely to break. Like weights, for example.
Gaara : He is SHOOK. What you took from your time to buy him something ? Was he worthy of your time and money like this ? He blushes furiously as the bouquet makes contact with his shaky hand “T-thank y-you Y/n. But I don’t think I deserv-” “Nonsense Peanut. It’s my pleasure. It’s only a mere proof for my love for you after all” you smiled trying to ease the tension building within him. It worked because the frown on his face gave way to a more relaxed smile. But then you took him by surprise and picked out a yellow flower from the bouquet and slided it between strands of his red hair “Perfect. You look the prettiest bride ever” He blushed even further “Y-Y/n ! I-I’m your h-husband” he whined as he stuttered against your neck. He didn’t want you to see how flustered you’ve made him. Now he had to find a way to fluster you as well. It would only be fair.
Hashirama Senju : You entered his Hokage office with the flowers in hands, opening the door with your back. He was so busy he didn’t even lift his nose from the stack of papers in front of him “Tobirama I told you earlier no I can’t change the colour of the wallflower just because you don’t like the yellow-” “I like the wallflower” you said chuckling at his lack of attention. “S-sweetie ! I didn’t know you were going to come-” his hazelnut eyes finally set on the bouquet “Oh are they for me ?” he said getting up. His eyes were glittering as he saw you nodding. “Thank you so much for the attention. Here put them there” he put a spare vase on his desk “That way I’ll always have a reminder of you” You chuckled at his words “You mean something more striking than the ring on your finger” sending him blush in the next century. “No no as strong. Of course not” He gave you a chaste kiss before walking back behind his desk. “If you’re willing to take a sit there and wait for me for… 30 min or so I’ll be able to leave early with you today. Hopefully Tobirama won’t catch us” he laughed as he took a sit and motioned for you to sit in front of him. Let’s just hope his brother isn’t going to come back to talk about this damn wallflower.
Madara Uchiha : He was at his office planning some missions for other ninjas when you quietly entered the room. He noticed right away the delicate flowers that you were holding. You set them in a vase in front of him and put your hands on his shoulders massaging gently. All this without uttering a word. You knew how tired he was and how much he just wanted to go to bed at hours like this. So you hoped they would bring him at least some joy. He took his time admiring the beautiful petal and the vivid green colour of the stalk. While letting you hands work their magic on his tired shoulders. Then in silence, he pulled you on his lap and gazed briefly into your eyes before giving a long and slow kiss to your forehead. The corners of his mouth lifting slightly as he attempted to smile despite his fatigue “Thank you my Love” he said breaking the silence “I’ll join you in bed son okay ?” you nodded “Okay” giving a kiss to his lips “I’ll stay with you there” you said setting your head on his shoulder. He felt his heart swell with love as he went back to his work. Fuelled in working better and faster by your presence.
Yamato : “I’ve finally found you. Here I got you these” you said showing him your gift. "Wow, they're incredible. What are these ? Poison ? Hidden kunais compartment ? Another kind of weapon ?" You laughed out loud, quickly putting a hand on your mouth “Yamato, Dear It’s only flowers” He makes a face. Not a face that looks like one of surprise as it should noooo. He makes his signature Yamato face with a creepy smile “I think he is happy” you thought. As you gave them to him he held them carefully almost scared to break them. You almost want to tell him that being an ANBU doesn’t make him a flower breaker, but you don’t want to make him even more anxious. He blinked slowly - like a cat - as he looked back at you “Thank you very much. I didn’t know or else I would have taken something for you as well. You’re important to me you know that” he said softly gazing into you eyes. “Don’t worry about this. Just knowing you came back safely means the world to me” Your words were his cue and finally he leaning in and kissed you deeply… the gear in his mind still working to find the perfect gift for you.
Sasori : He ✨side eyes ✨ the flowers as if they were a rotten apple “You know I don’t like flowers” he says. You don’t even know how he knows since his face stayed turned to the puppet he was fixing. “I thought it was because they were from someone else-” “From someone else or from you I don’t like flowers. That’s all” he said, as cold as ever. On your side you could sense he sounded kinda sad ? Maybe because the delicate plants were so fragile to the time and its flow. “I’m going to plant them. I’m sure they will grow taller. And every year their seed will make a new flower” you said leaving him to his work. Unbeknownst to you he stopped abruptly in his task, thinking about your words. And just like that he decided to get up and see how you were going to take care of them. How you were going to ensure their life in this world despite their short lifetime. Yeah you sparked something within him and for once in his life he was eager to wait and see how your care would save those little flowers.
Slow burn-ish ends starts here :
Iruka Umino : When his eyes set on the flowers he gets red. Almost as red as the roses you’re handing him “W-wow Y-Y/n they l-look so pretty. B-but I didn’t bring anything for you. I d-didn’t know y-you’d-” but you cut him off with a kiss on his rosy cheeks “It’s my pleasure Iruka. And I’ll bring you some as long as you like them. Just to see your wide smile, the sparkle in your beautiful eyes and the colors of your cheeks” you teased him pinching his cheek lightly. “Y-Y/nnnnnn” he whined looking as sheepish as ever “You’re teasing me” he tried to look up at you again without succeeding. finally after a deep breath he pulled you against his chest. He gave the top of your head a kiss, breathing in your scent “I want to take you out to dinner with me… i-if that’s fine with you” he mumbled. “I’d love that Iruka. We’ve both been busy lately. I think that would be really nice” He smiled widely hearing your words. Indeed it sounded really nice to spend the evening with you and maybe well have you come and sleep over…
Orochimaru : That little ✨shit✨ chuckles when you give him the bouquet. Making you almost self-conscious. You’re torturing yourself. Wondering if he likes them, or if he thinks you’re dumb for offering flowers to someone as powerful as him. His natural suave voice makes you shivers as he speaks “Ooh Pet look at you. Offering me something as fragile and vulnerable as you for me to take care of” he gets closer to you “I’m sorry to disappoint but my attention will stay solely on you my Dear. Well most of it since now I have to give them a little bit of care too” He tries to stay in character but inside it’s a whole firework going on ( 4th July for my fellow American and 14th July for my French comrades ) he wants to jump up and down with you in his arms while crying and ask the skies how they found him worthy of your time and love. But he doesn’t. Instead he gives you a long and needy kiss on the pulse point of your neck. And lets you here saying he is going to look for a vase. Letting you there longing for more.
Deidara : You didn’t even have time to give them to him that he screamed “Y/n ! Those are per-fect ! See those beautiful petals how soon they will fall. Slowly giving traits to the time passing and taking their beauty with it ! This is true art ! You’re an amazing partner ! I couldn’t dream nor create a better one ! Such beautiful flowers… quick quick I need to make something to help me remember how sumptuous they were !” He took the flowers from your hand and started running somewhere, his blond hair swaying with each jump. Suddenly you saw him run back to you. He gave you a passionate *French* kiss and with that rushed the other way. But not before screaming “Do not worry you will get rewarded later” You didn’t know which kind of reward he was meaning though with him literally anything was possible.
Kakashi Hatake : When he saw you entering your shared apartment with the flowers in hand,  he smiled under his mask “What a nice surprise. And to tell I was wondering what took you so long” He pulled down his mask and gave you a long awaited kiss after a long day of work for both of you. As he took them he took in there delicate parfum “And that smell as nice as they look. Thank you Y/n. I’ll see how I can make it up to you as well” Your heart swelled “Kakashi you don’t need too it’s my pleasure” But he took you of guard “Okay I’ll give you pleasure” “Huh ? What ?” with a swift motion the flowers were securely put in a vase and you were carried on his shoulder towards your bedroom.
Shikamaru Nara : When he saw you coming from afar he sighed before shaking his head slightly. When you handed him the flower he took them while a smirk was playing on his lips “My why are you always this troublesome ?” he said. But you knew he liked the present “This is going to be such a drag to water everyday” he took a step closer towards you “Though for you I’m sure I can make some room for that” he said twirling a strand of your hair around his finger. This time it was you who smirked “Only for that Shika ?” He chuckled at your comment before leaning in and pecking your lips chastely “Keep going and you’ll see I have plenty of room to make when it’s for you” “Well then What are you waitin-” you didn’t even finish your sentence that he swept you off your feet. Well at least now you were going to know what he was hinting at. Though a part of you knew damn well what it was going to be about.
Utakata : He saw you coming from afar. He noticed the pep in your step and followed you walking up to him from the corner of his eye “Utakata ?” you said it was clear that you were excited for some reason “Y/n ?” he said, unsure of what you were up to “I’ve brought you… this !” you said, taking the flowers from behind your back and guiding them into his hands. He looked at the bouquet which was now in his hands, then back at you. And back at the flowers and back at you “What are those for ?” he said. His usual cold tone accompanying each one of his words “They are for you Dear” “I see that but what for ?” “I think the pastel blue brings out your beautiful brown eyes, that's all” you said smiling at him. His eyes widened as he saw your face inching closer to his. Your lips looked very kissable from his point of vue all of a sudden. Maybe your training could wait only for one kiss or two after all. So he dipped in and tasted your soft lips “Mmmh still so exquisite” he thought. Yes, maybe training could wait a bit more.
Minato Namikaze : You’ve set him the surprise in a pretty vase and set it on the table waiting for him to discover it when he’ll be back from his Hokage office. He didn’t even notice them bruh or if he did he wouldn’t have though they were for them “My my does the fastest man of Konohagakure go so fast he doesn’t even see the flowers her wife bought for him ?” you joked. “Y-you’ve b-bought me f-flowers ? I don’t k-know what to say” You got up but in no time he went from the door to in front of you. You cupped his blushing cheek “Just a kiss will but even a smile will suffice” He immediately leaned in and pressed his lips to yours. As he pulled away though he took your hand in his “But if you allow me I can give you much more than just a kiss Y/n” he said. His eyes were twinkling with a mischievous glow despite his quiet tone. “Only if you’re not too tired” you responded. “I’m never tired for you. In fact…” he swept you off your feet and brought you to your room “…now I feel widely awake to do whatever you’re in for” And that’s how the next day you had troubles walking ; )
Tobirama Senju : He’s part of the side eye team as well. The bouquet receives a criminal offensive one “I’m a ninja I don’t need flowers” Despite his harsh answer you smirked. First because you knew he would react like this and second because you could sense he was glad you thought to grind him something even if he didn’t know how to actually handle the gift. So you decided to tease him further lmao. Pointing towards your chest you said “Those neither and if I recall yesterday you-“ You didn’t even finish your sentence his hand went to your mouth “Shhhhhhhhh ! Okay ! Okay fine ugh… thank you. They look pretty… I guess” you engulfed him into a hug “See it wasn’t that hard with a little help” you chuckled. He was looking at everything but you, his cheeks slightly flushed “You’re insufferable” he said, shaking his head slightly, though he couldn’t help the little smile that had appeared on his lips.
Hidan : He looks at you curiously when you extend the bouquet to him “Doll you know those aren’t part of my rituals for Jashin right ?” you giggled at his straightforwardness “Of course I know that. I bought them for you and no one else” He saw you walk toward a vase you also bought and set them on his night table. His purplish eyes followed your every move as you walked back up to him. His hands gripped your hips as he continued with a seductive tone “Mmh and what for then ?” you smiled at him “Well let’s just say that you worship Jashin and I worship…” you walked your fingers on his broad shoulder “…you” His eyes widened slightly at your words as a smirk spread on his lips “Oooh and can your worship lie in more than flowers or…” he let his words trail “All you ask I’ll do” you said breathlessly lost in his gaze as you started to feel his hands rubbing circles on the skin your shirt was showing “Okay then you see this cupboard ? Bend on it and let me do the rest. My good little worshiper” he said with a husky voice that gave you an inkling of what was to come.
Genma Shiranui : He raises an eyebrow at you, his tone teasing as always “Mmh look at that. A beautiful flower gifting me beautiful flowers. But between us you look appetizing compared to them” You blushed slightly at his suggestive comment “Genma just take them. Don’t embarrass me on the damn street. People will hear you” he chuckled darkly “Baby the whole village hears you when the night comes-” “Shhhhhhhhh !!!!!” you hissed. Making him chuckle even more. His arm circled your shoulders as he pulled you closer to him and kissed your temple “You know I like teasing you. I can’t help it. Your reactions are always delightful” he said, playing with the senbon between his teeth as he looked down at you. You playfully stuck your tongue out at him “You’re so mean” “But I know you love it” he chuckled rubbing his hand on your shoulder. And gosh know it was true.

Naruto Worldbuilding Headcanon!
Sort of.
Buffing the Byakugan!
The Byakugan was written as an antithesis to the Sharingan but got mostly forgotten. I’m here to change that.
Tumblr media
Well all know that with the Byakugan you can see the chakra points and have x-ray vision + almost 360 degree vision. Additional powers include:
Microscopic vision: Byakugan users can look at blood samples and whole bodies up to a cellular level. Their eyes are basically a substitute for a microscope, x-ray scans, ct-scans and mris. That part where Sasuke could see Deidara‘s cellular bombs with his Sharingan? We’re scrapping that. Only Byakugan users can do that.
Immunity to most visual genjutsus. Byakugan users can see when someone is using or under genjutsu and have a natural immunity against most Sharingan genjutsus, with only things like Tsukuyomi or other powerful Mangekyou genjutsus posing as an actual threat.
Splitting anything chakra made in half. We’ve seen my man Mukai Kohinata doing this to Itachi’s fire ball jutsu and in Neji’s fight against Kidomaru. Using their gentle fist, anything that is made of chakra can be split in half or atleast damaged. This includes Susanoos. Also, Byakugan users can disable the necessary chakra points of an Uchiha to activate the susanoo.
Detecting shifts in mood. There are changes in your chakra when your mood changes, it’s canon. Byakugan users can see when someone is angry, scared, happy, horny, you name it. They can also tell when someone is lying. If someone is trying to suppress their chakra, they can see it too.
Releasing chakra from all their tenketsu. Neji has done it in the fight against kidomaru. Basically it means they can release normal or elemental chakra out of their chakra points, which makes taijutsu pretty useless against them. Ex. when a Byakugan user releases fire chakra while someone is trying to punch them, they’d burn their hands. Medic nin who have a Byakugan can use this tactic to release healing chakra on their whole body, allowing them to heal themselves without using hand signs or the palm technique, if their chakra control allows it. A Byakugan user can also release tiny portions of chakra on their elbows or legs to make their punches stronger or highten their jumps.
There’s no next level Byakugan like the Mangekyou is for the Sharingan, however Byakugan users suffer no permanent damage from overusing their Byakugan. They temporarily have bad eyesight or even blindness, but it passes.
If you have any other ideas, let me know! Feel free to use these in your fics, hcs and scenarios! Tag or dm me so I can read em all <33

Naruto Love Languages (Konoha 12 + Sand Siblings)
Naruto Uzumaki - Words of Affirmation
This man is your #1 fan. Everything you do he is behind you cheering and hollering the whole way. It doesn't matter if it's something stupid like trying to do a bottle flip, Naruto is gonna hype you up. He just adores you so much and wants you to know that! He wants you to know that he believes in you fully. When he isn't being a hype man, Naruto is just genuinely complimenting you and showing his appreciation for all you do. Nothing you do will go unnoticed, you WILL feel this man's love
Sasuke Uchiha - Gift Giving
Sasuke is, uh... kinda rough when it comes to romance. He's gone through some shit and even after all these years doesn't quite know how to deal with it. He isn't good at words, is wary on physical contact, and isn't around often. But the one thing he succeeds in is giving you gifts. Everytime he leaves to go who knows where, he will always return with an incredibly thoughtful gift. Sasuke doesn't just grab whatever he see, he knows what you like and what you appreciate. Every gift he gives you has meaning and fits you perfectly
Sakura Haruno - Acts of Service
Sakura is a girl who heavily desires to be loved. Ever since she was a child she was a hopeless romantic, so when she finally got together with you she fell head over heels. She's quite open with her feelings for you both physically and vocally, but her favorite way to show she cares is by helping you around the house. She'll cook for you, help clean up, give you massages, and of course heal your wounds. As long as you are dating her you will never see another Medical-nin. Every injury you get will be treated by her with full seriousness (even if it's just a paper cut)
Sai - Gift Giving
You though SASUKE was bad with feelings? Dear lord you gotta have a lot of patience with Sai. Unlike Sasuke though, Sai tries his hardest, even if it's a bit rough. He tries to say nice things and touch you, but it's still incredibly foreign to him (not to mention he can get a bit brutally honest about some things). The only thing Sai is confident in is his gift giving skills. He loves to draw art for you, pretty much everything he sees inspires more art to give you. It's gotten to the point that you have a whole room filled with them (Sai keeps telling you it's okay to get rid of some, but you refuse! They are so pretty!). On special occassions, Sai loves to bring his drawings for you to life, enjoying the look of amazement on your face
Ino Yamanaka - Gift Giving
This girl is gonna treat you RIGHT, believe that! She's is incredibly open with her feelings, especially when it comes to flowers. You will be getting flowers for every occassion, sometimes just randomly. She'll buy you other gifts like jewelry and clothes and books, but her real love language is flowers. Her bouquets aren't just randomly put together either, Ino carefully hand picks each one and take in mind the meaning of each one. The longer you date you will soon learn the different meanings, which makes her so proud. Although she doesn't really expect anything back every time, make sure to get her a lil something for special occassions, she'll appreciate it~
Shikamaru Nara - Quality Time
We know Shikamaru is a lazy bitch, but that's what we love about him! He may seem distant and seemingly uncaring, but if you look closely you can clearly see how he shows affection. Sure he may not wash you with praises or get you expensive things, but he stays by your side. Always. Somehow he always is in the same room as you, even if you are doing two different things. You're always together in some sort. He'll definitely deny it, but you notice he doesn't leave still. It's kind of like a cat, ya know? Shikamaru gets especially clingy when you're in bed together. This man doesn't get up for hours, and you aren't getting up either. You will lay and sleep with him for 3 more hours, no discussion
Choji Akimichi - Acts of Service
Just... just so sweet. My boy is such a sweetie oh my god. Choji is quite nervous in your relationship, both due to low self-esteem and just anxiety in general. Just you surprising him with a hug is enough to fluster him for a solid minute. Since more direct ways get him anxious, Choji prefers to do things for you, and his favorite thing is to cook for you. This man can COOK like no one's business! You guys will go out to eat on the weekends (there is nothing like fresh barbecue), but through the week he is in the kitchen cooking your favorite meals full of love. Seeing your giant smile and hearing your satisifed eating makes his heart soar. Also, you are one of the only people who he'll always share his snacks with, no hesitation (the other is Shikamaru, obviously)
Kiba Inuzuka - Physical Touch
Kiba is a toucher, hands down. He LOVES to just touch you all over. He is always in contact with you no matter what, appropriate or otherwise. Hands on your waist, head on your shoulder, fingers in your hair, sometimes he will just randomly pick you up to get a reaction out of you. Let's be real, Kiba's a dog through and through, and dogs adore attention. Whenever he wants your attention or love, Kiba will poke you and bug you until you give in and cuddle with him. Spooning is his absolute favorite position. Give this man his head pats and belly rubs god dammit, and don't forget Akamaru!. Oh and uh, warning, this man is also perverted. Quite perverted. Your cuddle sessions will devolve into him dry humping you 50% of the time. You gonna get manhandled and groped quite a bit (every touch full of love <3)
Hinata Hyuga - Words of Affirmation
You thought Choji was shy? You haven't seen nothing yet. Hinata was already a sweating mess when you were just friends, the moment you asked her out she literally fainted and collapsed on the floor. Thankfully she is better now (and didn't get brain damage), but it's still nerve-wracking to be in a relationship with you. You're just so... perfect. And Hinata wants you to know that. Throughout the day she is normally very sweet and appreciative, but whenever you are on dates or cuddling in private, she lets all her feelings out. She shares her admiration for you, her appreciation for you, and just how happy she is to have you in her life. It always makes you cry, which makes Hinata feel bad, but you always assure her they are happy tears
Shino Aburame - Acts of Service
Shino is a man of little words, and you knew that going into a relationship, so you have no issues with that! It makes the times he does speak up mean even more. Since he's inexperienced with relationships and romantic gestures, Shino's main way to show he cares is by protecting you and keeping you safe. He always is ready to defend you in public, and whenever you go somewhere alone he gives you one of his bugs so he can know you're safe. Anyone who even tries to harass or injure you is getting shot down immedietely. Losing you or you getting hurt is one of his biggest fears, and he'll never let that happen. You'll never feel unsafe when Shino is around
Rock Lee - All of Them
You can call this a cop out, but let's be real, Lee is the embodiment of EVERY love language. He never stops gushing to you about your beauty and skills, and screams how much he loves you from the rooftops. Anything you ask him to do will be done in record time perfectly. He loves to give you extravagent gifts for your anniversaries and random occasions. Spending time with you is his favorite thing in the world, especially when you train together. And physical touch? He is always happy to hug and kiss you all over. Lee is just full of love for you!! He knows he can be a bit overwhelming at times and will calm down if you tell him. He just is so grateful to have you in his life, and wants you to know that every day for the rest of your life
Neji Hyuga - Words of Affirmation
It may come as a shock to most due to his sharp tongue, but the way Neji shows his love is by words. To most he is aggressive and stand-offish, and ocassionally is to you too. It's just how he is unfortunately. But unlike with others, he is noticabely incredibly soft with you and is much more open. Neji isn't afraid to compliment how you look or give praise when you succeed at something. Even when he gets annoyed he doesn't raise his voice or throw insults at you, he stays respectful. The fact that he calls everyone an idiot except you says a whoooole lot about how he feels about you. Wear that honor with pride
Tenten - Quality Time
Tenten is pretty easy going and prefers a partner who is the same. Of course some spice and excitement is greatly welcomed, but at the end of the day she just wants to sit back and relax with her partner. So spending time together means a lot to her. She loves going on dates where you guys try something new (just no long hikes, please) but if needed will default to the local weapon museum. By the way, everytime one of you has to go on a mission, Tenten will act cool but will secretly pout the whole time until you meet up again
Gaara - Physical Touch
As he's grown, Gaara has turned into a real sweetheart. With you he is incredibly gentle and cares for you deeply. You are his treasure, you deserve the world. He still is dealing with social anxiety, and can be a bit awkward sometimes. But Gaara is always comfortable touching and holding you. His touches are gentle and kind, and sensual when he wants. He likes to give gentle kisses all over you throughout the day, and whenever he leaves for work he gives you a loving kiss before he leaves. Gaara also really values cuddling together. This man is touch starved like no one else, everytime you hold eachother he feels like a part of him is healing. Please reciprocate, he deserves it
Temari - Words of Affirmation
Temari is fiery as hell, and you knew that the moment you met. And her words are just as sharp! She isn't afraid to tell off people who annoy you guys (especially when you are on dates, they are DEAD). With you she is still mildly aggressive and intense, but in a more lighthearted way. She just gets so worried about you, she can't help herself from scolding you for being an idiot. Every word she says (positive or negative) comes from the heart. When you manage to not be a fool Temari is vocalising her approval and pride. Oh, and she has a habit of openly bragging about how amazing you are to your peers (much to your embarrassment)
Kankuro - Quality Time
This man is a teeeeeease (in a good way or bad way, your decision). He is constantly joking and making fun of you, reveling in your cute annoyance. He even likes to annoy you physically like blowing on your neck or pinching your butt. Kankuro is quite playful pretty much 95% of the time, but the other 5% he's actually quite sweet. Spending time with you is his favorite thing in the world! Yeah it's fun messing with you, but he likes to just have genuine connections and going on more mature dates. His favorite thing is dancing surprisingly, and he honestly is quite good. Holding you close and swaying makes him content ... Until he sneaks in one of his puppets halfway through, scaring the shit out of you in the process (he slept on the couch but it was worth it)

-He is still very proud of who he is and his family name
-He definitely dates with the intention of marriage, or at least, long term partnership
