Together Forever

The night was as still as water, its silence carrying an unsettling tranquility. Candlelight flickered gracefully in the gentle breeze, casting dappled shadows on the walls.

"It's late, you should get some rest." Koki and Izuna had been talking for a long time, and exhaustion enveloped him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he yawned repeatedly, slowly stood up, and walked wearily Earth Flow the bedside to sit down.

Izuna stood frozen in place, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance. When Koki released his hand, he instinctively clenched it, trying to hold onto the fading warmth.

Immediately, he followed Koki with childlike helplessness, stumbling along behind her.

Koki's side, he abruptly reached out and gripped Koki wrists tightly, his voice low and trembling almost imperceptibly. "I want to sleep here."

As he spoke, his fingers gently traced down Koki's wrist until they intertwined, like the final piece of a Koki puzzle, fitting together perfectly.

Those tightly clasped fingers seemed inseparable from everything in the world.

Koki did not resist at all, but simply let Izuna hold his hand quietly.

With his other hand, he began to slowly smooth out the wrinkles in the bedsheets, a smile of indulgence and teasing playing on his lips as he whispered, "You're so old and still scared?"

Upon hearing this, Izuna slowly raised his head and looked into Koki's eyes, which rippled with endless longing.

However, in an instant, he quickly lowered his head again, and his already low tone became even more sorrowful.

"I finally got a break, but these past few days you've been like a gust of wind, I can't catch you no matter what I do. You're always so busy, you spend so little time with me, and whenever I try to get close, you always find countless reasons to push me away..."

Feeling Koki's gaze on him, Izuna felt his face burning, the heat spreading from his cheeks to his ears.

He lowered his head shyly, not daring to look Koki in the eye, his voice growing even lower, almost inaudible. "I just want to sleep with you."

Koki looked at Izuna, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes. She didn't say a word, but quietly pulled the candlelight on the table a little closer.

In an instant, light shone down, and the soft candlelight danced on his face, illuminating a breathtakingly beautiful figure. Everyone who saw him was captivated by this dreamlike and enchanting beauty.

His gaze shifted to Izuna, his eyes filled with helplessness, yet a gentle smile involuntarily curved his lips as he softly said, "Alright then."

Koki's ideal is pure and flawless, without a trace of impurity.

Wherever he was, Izuna was always by his side; that unwavering companionship had become a habit for him.

Furthermore, with the current situation turbulent and the Senju Clan's internal conflicts requiring discussion with Izuna, the opportunity to share a bed that night was perfectly timed.

Upon hearing that promise, Izuna's heart pounded like a drum, filled with excitement.

A young person's mind is like a clear lake, unable to hide any emotions; all joys, sorrows, and anger are clearly written on their face.

Having received permission, Izuna nimbly leaped onto the bed, using both hands and feet. He then yanked back the soft blankets and settled in without hesitation, his unrestrained and natural demeanor revealing his ecstatic joy.

Izuna lay quietly on the tatami mat, gazing at the ceiling, his thoughts running wild like a runaway horse.

"I want to be with Koki forever," this thought burned like a raging fire in his heart since childhood, and has never been extinguished for a moment.

It was a yearning that seeped into his very bones, slowly growing in countless days and nights spent together, and now it has forged the most unbreakable belief in his life.

This emotion broke through the constraints of the world, even though he vaguely realized that this emotion might go against common sense. Like a moth drawn to a flame, he could not control it and could not extricate himself.

With a thousand thoughts surging in his mind, Izuna suddenly stood up and pounced on Koki.

This unexpected move caught Koki off guard.

He clutched a scroll containing the core secrets of the Uchiha Clan and important information about the Senju Clan, but was startled by Izuna's sudden pounce. The scroll slipped from his fingers with a crisp "snap" and rolled to the bedside.

Koki opened her arms and hugged Izuna tightly. She leaned down slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and looked down at Izuna in her arms, asking softly, "What's wrong?"

Izuna buried his face deep in Koki's warm embrace, feeling the Koki body and breathing in that familiar scent with great eagerness.

Finally, he slowly raised his head, his gaze meeting Koki's. His lips trembled slightly, a hint of hesitation in his voice. "You..."

"What?" Koki looked completely confused.

Izuna seemed to have mustered all his courage; their faces were inches apart, and the resolute look in Izuna's eyes was unmistakable. "I want to be with you forever."

"Okay, okay, you really are..." Koki replied with a smile, gently stroking Izuna's head.
