There were moments when Mitsuki would simply watch you, his gaze soft and lingering, as though trying to understand the inexplicable pull you had on him. You weren’t like the others. There was something about you, a fire that couldn’t be dimmed, a quiet strength that made Mitsuki admire and fear you at the same time. It wasn’t just your power—he feared the thought of losing you, of facing a world without you by his side.
In those rare quiet moments between battles, Mitsuki found himself lost in the way you carried yourself, how everything seemed simpler when you were around. He didn’t know when it happened, but he had come to realize you were more than a teammate to him. You were everything.
The sun was setting as you and Mitsuki stood at the gates, preparing for your mission. It seemed simple—retrieve stolen documents and confront a rogue ninja group—but Mitsuki could feel something was off. The mission had been marked high-risk, and the enemy was stronger than expected.
As you readied yourself, Mitsuki glanced at you, his gaze lingering longer than usual. There was an intensity in your eyes, a shared determination. The thought of you fighting beside him filled him with a sense of responsibility that made his chest tighten. He couldn’t lose you.
The journey led you to the edge of the Forest of Kiri, where the rogue ninja awaited. A tall, menacing figure stepped from the shadows, and the air around him seemed to grow heavy. This wasn’t just another mission. Mitsuki knew it was going to be a fight unlike any other.
He could see the determination in your eyes as you prepared to face him, but Mitsuki wasn’t going to let you fight alone. “No,” he said firmly, “I’m with you. Always.”
The battle was fierce, with the rogue ninja's speed and precision pushing both of you to your limits. Mitsuki’s thoughts were scattered with worry for you, but he couldn’t afford to be distracted. Every time you moved to protect him, his heart pounded louder. He couldn’t let anything happen to you.
When you were cornered, Mitsuki acted without thinking, charging forward to catch the enemy off guard. His strike was swift, but the rogue barely managed to parry it. Mitsuki knew this wasn’t over, and neither of you could afford to be careless.
The battle continued, but with each move, Mitsuki’s resolve strengthened. He couldn’t let you face this alone. In the end, his combined efforts with yours were enough to defeat the rogue, but the weight of the fight lingered in his chest. Seeing you standing there, safe, was enough to ease his fears. You were everything to him, and he was never going to let you go.
