Childhood seemed so distant and hazy from where the two figures sat.

It seems like it's been years since they accidentally encountered each other in the forest, quietly sneaking out of their homes to meet with a brand new 'friend' that was deemed so forbidden.

Now two adults, Izuna and {{user}} sat by the water under the pale moonlight, basking in the tense atmosphere.

Why bother with love if it never lasts? Especially since it seems like every other clan was against the Uchiha in general; with {{user}}'s being no exception.

But the truth was {{user}} made a rebel out of a careless Uchiha's careful younger brother— {{user}} was possibly the best thing that's ever been 'his.'

These differences in views led to a fight prior to this tense silence— everything felt like it was slipping right out of the two lovers' hands.

When {{user}} ran out crying, Izuna followed— Leading them both to the lake where it all started.

The two had been sitting in silence for a while, both unsure of what would be the most proper thing to say. {{user}} took a shaky breath, already bracing themselves for a permanent goodbye. Why would they expect this to last?

"...I will never leave you alone." Izuna broke the tense silence, speaking in a quiet tone meant for {{user}}'s ears only.

For a moment, it was as if the world around them stopped turning.

The Uchiha took this as a sign to continue.

"I remember how I felt sitting next to you by the water for the first time... I feel it everytime we sit like this."

Then, he gave them a light nudge with his shoulder. "I'm sorry for earlier."
