Chương 31: Chapter 31
"I don't want to make you uncomfortable," he said softly. "But I wanted you to know that you're not alone. I care about you, Hinata." he said Placing his finger on her chin and lifting it up
Hinata's blush deepened, but there was something else in her eyes now—a flicker of trust, of understanding.
She nodded slowly, her lips parting to speak, but the words seemed to get caught in her throat.
"I... care about you too," she finally whispered, her voice barely audible, but it was enough for Shoi to hear.
She have come to realise that.. She Wanted someone who could understand her drag her out of her past into better future..
The space between them felt charged, the air thick with emotions neither of them had expected. Shoi gently cupped her cheek, his thumb brushing lightly against her soft skin as they stood there in the quiet, just the two of them under the moonlit sky.
And for the first time, the distance between them didn't feel so wide anymore.
"But.. You And Hanabi.."Just as she was about to say more he sealed her lips using his finger
Shoi gently pressed his finger against Hinata's lips, silencing her softly. His eyes were filled with understanding, but there was also an intensity in them that made her heart race.
"Don't worry about Hanabi," he whispered, his voice low and reassuring. "This moment… it's just about us."
Hinata's breath hitched as Shoi's words washed over her. She had always been the quiet, dutiful one, never daring to act on the feelings she had buried deep inside.
But now, standing so close to him, with the warmth of his touch still lingering on her skin, it was as if something inside her was awakening. She wanted this.
She wanted to believe that she could have someone who saw her for who she truly was—beyond her family name, beyond her past.
Shoi slowly removed his finger, his gaze never leaving hers. His hand returned to her waist, pulling her just a little closer, and in that moment, she allowed herself to lean into him.
"Let me be that person for you," Shoi whispered, his voice barely audible, but it sent a shiver down Hinata's spine. "The one who helps you move forward, who understands you."
Hinata's eyes softened, and for the first time in a long while, she felt her guard lowering completely. She knew this connection between them wasn't simple, but there was a part of her that wanted to believe in it.
Slowly, almost hesitantly, Hinata lifted her hand and rested it gently against Shoi's chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. She looked up at him, her voice barely a whisper.
"I don't know where this will lead," she admitted, her tone filled with vulnerability. "But I think… I want to find out."
Shoi's heart swelled at her words. He leaned down slightly, his lips just inches from hers, but he paused, giving her the chance to pull away if she wanted.
Hinata, however, remained still, her gaze locked on his. There was no hesitation in her eyes anymore, only a quiet acceptance of the moment between them.
Without another word, Shoi closed the distance, pressing his lips gently against hers. The kiss was soft, tender.
Hinata face now was fully red her heart beating faster then ever
When they finally broke apart, Hinata's breath was ragged, her face still flushed.
She kept her hand against Shoi's chest, as if grounding herself in the reality of what had just happened. His heartbeat was steady beneath her fingertips, a comforting rhythm that matched her own.
Shoi looked down at her, a small, almost teasing smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "I never thought I'd see you blush like this," he said softly, his tone warm and affectionate.
Hinata's blush deepened, and she shyly looked away, unable to meet his gaze. "I... You Dont tesee me..," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly with the emotions swirling inside her.
Shoi gently tilted her chin up, forcing her to look at him again. "There's no need to hide how you feel, Hinata. Not from me my big princess," he said, his voice steady and full of sincerity.
Hinata bit her lip, still unsure of how to process everything that had just transpired.
But looking into Shoi's eyes, she realized that maybe, just maybe, this was what she had been longing for—someone who saw her as more than the shy girl from the Hyuga clan, someone who truly understood her heart.
Author's Note: "I know some people might wonder why Hinata agreed so easily, thinking it's out of character for her. But after the Fourth Great Ninja War, Hinata has been alone, with little to no interaction with men. It's natural for her to crave emotional connection."

"Hinata," he began, his voice low but firm, "there's something I need to tell you. Something I should have said earlier."
Hinata's eyes widened slightly, her gaze searching his face for answers. "What do you mean?" she asked softly, her fingers still pressed lightly against his chest.
Shoi hesitated for a moment, but he knew he had to be honest with her. "I care about you, Hinata, I really do.
But you're not the only one… I also have feelings for Hanabi. I've been… I'm in a relationship with her as well."
Hinata's breath caught in her throat, her heart suddenly pounding in her ears. "Hanabi?" she whispered. "i had.. Some idea's But didn't knew you two are already in realtionship?"
Shoi nodded slowly, his hand still gently resting on her cheek. "Yes, but it doesn't change how I feel about you. I love both of you, Hinata.
I didn't want to hurt either of you, but the truth is… I can't deny what I feel for you too."
Hinata took a step back, her mind racing. The guilt she had been feeling earlier now felt like a storm inside her. She had kissed the man her sister loved, and worse, he had feelings for both of them.
Her eyes softened with sadness as she looked up at him. "If… if we're going to be together, Shoi, we need Hanabi's permission," she said, her voice trembling. "I can't… I can't do this behind her back. If she doesn't agree… then there can be nothing between us."
Shoi nodded, understanding the weight of her words. He respected her loyalty to her sister, and he knew that this situation was far more complicated than he had anticipated.
"I'll talk to her, Hinata. We'll figure this out together. But know that what I feel for you is real."
Hinata's heart was torn, but she nodded, trusting that Shoi would handle things with Hanabi. "I hope she can understand," she whispered, her voice filled with uncertainty.
Shoi gently pulled her close again, kissing her forehead softly.
