Peeks and glances.
That's all they get.
The villagers wouldn't accept their relationship.
He was a prodigy. She was average.
He was a genius. She was… ordinary.
No, the villagers wouldn't accept them. A prodigy and an ordinary girl couldn't mix.
So the two lovers just peek.
She spies on him often, sneaking peeks while they're training, missions, but that's all she gets. Peeks. That's all she gets. She can't be caught staring at him. Only peeks.
He's the only one that can get rid of her loneliness, make her feel safe, make her feel loved… but she can't have him. It hurts. All she gets are her peeks and glances. But she wants so much more.
He doesn't peek. He doesn't sneak peeks. He steals glances.
He's deeply in love with her, but hides it well. But deep down, he has a burning love for her.
She's the only one that can melt the icy barrier around his heart, make him feel loved, cure his loneliness… but he can't have her. He can only glance.
He glances at her during spars, missions, everything.
Except for showers. He respects her privacy.
All he has are his glances, but he wants so much more. No matter how well he hides it, inside, he wants so much more.
But he can't have it.
They can't have any alone time together, no thanks to Gai and Lee, who tag along every second of the day.
All they get are those peeks and glances.
But they want so much more.
But they know they can't have it.
And that hurts more.
Occasionally if they're lucky, when Gai and Lee weren't around, only them, they get a quick squeeze of the hand and exchange a quick smile or smirk.
But that's it. No looking deeply into each other's eyes or a hug.
A quick squeeze and a quick smile.
That's all they get.
It's not enough to satisfy them... but it's all they get.
Then at rare times, a kiss.
A quick peck on the cheek, and that's it.
That's all they get.
No deep passionate French kisses. Just quick pecks on the cheek.
But they want so much more.
Lust… want… need…
All they need is privacy. Even 5 minutes would do. Even if it was 5 minutes per year.
They could keep their relationship a secret.
Even in those 5 minutes, they can answer their lust, need, and want…
But they can't.
She wants to comb her slender fingers through his dark and sleek hair… he wants to hold her in his arms… but it's impossible.
They can't have it.
And it hurts.
A peek… a glance… a squeeze… a smile… a smirk…
That's all they have.
They can't give into their lust, want, or need…
And it hurts.
No matter how much it's calling out.
The villagers won't accept them…
It hurts so much…
But knowing they can't…
Hurts the most.
