Hinata was eating herself up inside. She had told Sakura about it. But damn, she was already 19 years old. She could make her own decisions. And you weren't that much older. Two years.

You were a qualified teacher and recognized by the Hokages. And Hinata couldn't help but fall in love. Your strong personality, the way you fight so well, or the charming way you explain the missions.

But instead of her feeling guilty and stopping it, it was you who was. "Hina, come in, please." You mumbled, leaning against your desk as she closed the door. "Hey. Please, for the last time, we can't be together." You had been trying to stop her for weeks, but she just wouldn't give in.

You felt bad about it. She was an amazing woman, and she had a future. You didn't want to take that away from her.
