It was close to morning now and (Y/n) was still awake.

He had this gut feeling that something was wrong,

something he would regret if he didn't try and figure it out.

He sighed and sat up from the traditional bed, running his hands down his face then through his hair as the headache from earlier seemed to be coming back.

God, he was frustrated now. . .

His job was to help carry souls out, but did he have to kill them or just hope to come across them?

He didn't know, could he pass on his work to somebody else?

Was it a curse that helped him with his work that killed the people around him, and from then on he carried everyone out to resting?

He didn't know anymore.

Maybe he could've summoned that ratched spirit another time when he was fully stable and not so wobbly,

Maybe when the villagers kept the grudge on him along with so many other shinobi.

Maybe when the Akatsuki weren't after him,

maybe when he learnt more about theese 'contracts',

maybe when he was living calmly,

maybe when he had found stable ground to finally have the emotional pillars he's always wished for.

". . . I'm such a fool" He gave a weak humorless chuckle, god he felt so done with everything,

it was mistake after mistake behind mistake, nothing good has really happened.

Yet, hopefully

Hoping.

"(Y/n)?" A voice came from behind the sliding door, revealing Neji standing there in his pajamas and a candle.

Dressed in what (Y/n) guessed were the best silks that a human could come by.

Psh, rich people

"Hm" He hummed in question as Neji scoffed a bit, "the sun's going to come out soon, get some sleep before uncle starts asking questions on what happened"

". . . Mm" He didn't really reply but laid back down on the bed, staring up at the white ceiling.

Neji huffed "Alright, go to sleep then, I'll see you in a few hours" He closed the door as the faint light from behind the paper walls was put out.

The headache never subsided, but gave up and tried to fall alseep to the best of his ability.

🎋

"(Y/n)-kuuunn"

(Y/n) grumbled and flipped over to his side as the sudden light from the window blinded him, he hissed as Neji sighed.

"Turn the fucking sun off"

"Physically impossible, now get up, uncle doesn't like to wait" Neji tucked the blinds to stay open as the morning rays flew into the room, hitting (Y/n) directly in the face.

(Y/n) though had a counter for this, he pulled the blanket up all the way and covered himself up entirely.

Hinata sweat dropped at this as Neji rubbed his temples "Please (Y/n), we heard you liked tea so there should be some herbal teas at the table" Hinata shook (Y/n) a bit as he sat up, hair messed up and shirtless since he slept like that 70% of the time. She squeaked and covered her face at the half naked (Y/n) before her.

". . . just herbal?"

Neji sighed as he placed his hands on his hips, "Chamomile and green mint are also-"
