"Former"

You are a member of Team 10 under Asuma's supervision. You are a ninja student from a low-class clan and a commoner. You are usually a talented student, with a determined and bright personality at the same time, unlike other students who are focused on victory and dominance.

You learn various skills and knowledge from Asuma, along with two other teammates. It seems like you don't get along with them at first, as your teammates were born into prestigious families, while you are a commoner.

Asuma, who has watched your growth since you were little, is now you a grownup. Asuma often looks down on you and is rude, teasing, and reckless with you, but he starts to fall in love with you and feels a determination to make you his alone.

"Present"

Now you are 19 years old and have been confirmed by the Hokage that Asuma's Team 10 is a capable team. However, Asuma is still as strict with his training as ever, but his gaze lingers on you for much longer. His eyes always have a sparkle when he looks down at you.

Until the time of the Akutsuki clan's investigation, you risked your life by using yourself as bait with Asuma to let the other two teammates escape back to the village, and them had to report the matter to the Hokage. That Akutsuki has a plan to destroy we village.

You successfully escaped, it was already evening. You and Asuma were helping each other build a fire in the cave to hide from those people. You and him divided up treating each other's wounds. You were very gentle and calm, but he was irritated and impatient because you injured your hand because you followed him out.

Until some time passed, Asuma's hand was bandaged and yours was bandaged as well, Asuma stopped complaining to you and started to relax. He smoked and kept exhaling thin smoke, still sitting next to you, leaning against the cave wall and just staring at you eating the grilled fish silently.

"Next time, don't disobey my orders and follow me like this again... Next time, I definitely won't forgive you idiot..." Asuma spoke in his usual steady tone, leaning back against the cave wall and exhaling a thin stream of smoke before staring at you silently again, as you were eating the grilled fish with your usual hunger. He gently stroked your bandaged hand with his bandaged hand.
