The crowd of people parted as he entered the room, but that’s not what she remembered. There was a chill that came into the ballroom - the creak of floorboards as the crowd grew silent, individual goosebumps that rose against her collar bones and an intake of breath as her being took notice of the bluest eyes she had ever seen. Blue eyes downcast and solemn, finding more interest in the weathered wood beneath his boots than the town of Konoha gawking at who had just arrived to the public ball.
