(Sorry, this took longer than I thought, and now I'm tired as hell, but Hope you guys still enjoy!)

*Murakumo's point of view*

I'm hideous...I'm sure everyone thinks that, I know it. I hide my face from the world because everyone won't like who I am. There's a guy who goes to the same ninja school as I. His name is Y/N, and he's a ninja, like me. Y/N would always say that I shouldn't hide my face, that I'm beautiful. He must be joking, I'm not beautiful, he's just saying that. Even if he really meant it, no one else would agree.

I met Y/N when he first came to the school, but he first became my friend when he saw me draw Manga in my room. He thought my work looked good, but I denied it.

*I'm sitting in my room, working on a manga, when I hear a knock on the door*

Murakumo:"Come in."

*Y/N enters my room*

Y/N:"Hey! How's it going, Murakumo?"

Murakumo:"Oh, hello Y/N. I'm good, you?"

Y/N:"I'm fine. So whatcha doing?"

Murakumo:"Oh, n-nothing..."

*Y/N looks at what I'm doing*

Y/N:"Ooooo...what's that?"

Murakumo:"Ah! It's um...something I'm working on."

Y/N:"Wow, you can draw manga? That's awesome!"

Murakumo:"!...You really think so?"

Y/N:"Yeah, of course. Hey, if you want, I can help you."

Murakumo:"?...Y-You want to help me?"

Y/N:"Yeah, I can be the judge of your drawings."

Murakumo:"The judge? B-But, do you really want to do all this, for me?"

Y/N:"Yes, I will. Your drawings look amazing, I'm sure that I'll even have anything bad to say about it."

Murakumo(mind):He'll probably just think that they're all bad.

Murakumo:"A-Alright, I'll let you judge some of my work."

Y/N:"Alright, you can count on me!"

*I hand him one of my manga and he leaves my room*

Ever since that day, he's been giving nothing but positive comments about my work. Could my work be that good? No, I doubt it, he's just being nice about it. He just doesn't want to hurt my feelings is all, but I know, I know he secretly hates them.

*Y/N's point of view*

My name is Y/N. I'm a ninja that attends Gessen Academy, despite it being a girls only school. I've become good friends with everyone there, but the girl that really stuck out to me the most was a girl named Murakumo.

She's always seen wearing a mask, and even I haven't seen what she really looks like, I've only heard from her other friends that she is beautiful underneath it all, but refuses to show it. For the longest time, I've been wondering why? Why would she cover up something so beautiful underneath a mask.

After a while, I found out that Murakumo can draw and write manga, and I immediately thought that I wanted to do something with her that didn't have to do with training and ninja stuff, so I asked if I could read some of it, and she said yes. She actually said yes, I felt so incredibly happy that day when she lend me one of her manga.

For the past few months, I've been saying nothing but positive things about her work, but I'm starting to think it's all going in one ear and out the other for her. I need to try to show her how beautiful her work can be, and how beautiful she can be too.

*I knock on Murakumo's door, holding one of the manga she gave me*

Y/N:"Hey, Murakumo?"

Murakumo:"Ah! Y-Y-Y/N? G-G-Give m-me a-a s-second."

Y/N:"I'm just gonna return the manga you sent me, it'll be for a second."

Murakumo:"J-Just g-give m-me a-a f-few s-seconds!"

Y/N:"O-Ok, fine."

*I hear Murakumo struggling around her room*

Murakumo:"W-Where d-did i-it g-go?!"

Y/N:"?...Are you ok in there, Murakumo?"

Murakumo:"D-D-D-Don't c-come i-in , Y-Y/N!"

Y/N:"O-Ok, ok."

Y/N(mind):Why can't I go in? What is she even looking for? Also, why is she stuttering so much?

*I quietly open the door just a little bit*

Y/N:"!"

*I see a beautiful woman looking around the room, and my face immediately blushes*

Y/N(mind):Wow! Who is that?! She looks like she's sparkling!

*She finds Murakumo's mask, and puts it on. I close the door before she could notice me*

Y/N(mind):Wait, was that Murakumo?! That's what she looks like underneath her mask?! Oh my god, her face is even more beautiful than I thought.

*Murakumo answers the door*

Murakumo:"S-Sorry it took so long."

Y/N:"!...O-Oh, no worries."

Murakumo:"?...Y/N, why are you blushing?"

Y/N:"Ah! I-I didn't see anything, I swear!"

Murakumo:"?...Wait, did you..."

*Murakumo slams the door between us*

Y/N:"W-Wait, I didn't mean to-"

Murakumo:"F-Forget you saw anything! P-Please?"

Y/N:"Erg..."

Y/N(mind):I can't, I can't forget something like that. Why? Why should I forget what her face looks like?!

Y/N:"Murakumo, I..."

*I open the door, and I see Murakumo's mask in her desk, and I see Murakumo on her bed, laying on her side with her knees up to her face. I can hear her trying to hold back tears*

Y/N:"Murakumo..."

Y/N(mind):Damn it, I have to try to comfort her.

Y/N:"Murakumo, I-I'm sorry...for looking into your room when you told me not to."

Murakumo:*Sniff*

Y/N:"...But I can't believe you've been hiding your face like that. You said that your face doesn't deserve to be shown, you're wrong."

Murakumo:"...You're just saying that..." *Sniff* "...you've always said nice things just to act nice..."

Y/N:"!...You don't think I mean the things I say?"

Murakumo:*Sniff* "Of course, I don't! I'm nothing worth praising!"

*Murakumo looks at me, and I see tears in her eyes*

Y/N:*Gasps*

Murakumo:*Sobs* "Nothing about me is even remotely nice, everything about me is unbearable! Can't you just say admit it?!"

Y/N:"...Murakumo..."

Murakumo:*Sobs*

*I try to go comfort Murakumo, but I freeze at her doorstep*

Y/N(mind):No, I can't do anything. I'll just make things worse...

*I leave Murakumo, and I run off to my room*

Y/N:"Hah...hah...hah...erg!"

*I throw Murakumo's manga at my wall*

Y/N:*Sniff*

Y/N(mind):Everything I said...I meant it all, and she doesn't believe it?!

Y/N:"Rah!"

*I punch my wall, and put a dent in it*

Y/N:"Damn it all!"

I was so angry, I couldn't even speak to Murakumo for the next couple of days. I thought that I shouldn't say anything to her if she doesn't believe anything I say.

After a couple of days, I decide I could use the extra training, so I talked to one of my fellow ninja classmates, Yumi, for help.

Y/N:"Rah!"

*I get knocked back by Yumi over and over again*

Y/N:"Ugh! You've got to be kidding me."

Yumi:"Come on, Y/N. You haven't been giving it your all."

Y/N(mind):Well, I basically got my heart broken, so excuse me if I'm a little off my game.

Y/N:"I am! I'm trying the hardest I can!"

*I rush towards Yumi, but get knocked back down*

Yumi:"Y/N, you've got to convince me that you are, otherwise I won't believe you."

Y/N:*Gasps* "Convince you..."

Y/N(mind):That's it, that's all I need to do, I just need convince Murakumo that she can believe what I'm saying!

*I start rushing Yumi again, I dodge her attack, and manage to knock her back instead*

Yumi:"!...Wow, I'm impressed, Y/N."

Y/N:"Well, I think your comments were really all I needed to get motivated again. Thanks, Yumi. You've helped a lot.

Yumi:"No problem, Y/N."

*I leave the training field, and head back to the dorms*

Y/N(mind):Wait, how am I going to convince Murakumo that everything I said was true?

*I walk past one of my other classmate's room, and a girl with blonde hair and red eyes opens the door*

???:"Oh, hi, Y/N."

Y/N:"!...Oh, hey, Shiki."

*She winks at me*

Y/N(mind):Wait a minute...Shiki...I've got it!

Y/N:"Shiki?"

Shiki:"Hmm? Yeah, what's up?"

Y/N:"Can I ask you a question?"

Shiki:"A question? Hmm...sure, why not?"

Y/N:"R-Really? Thank you. I was wondering if you can post something I have?"

Shiki:"Post something? Like on my blog or something?"

Y/N:"Sure...something close to that. Is it possible to get reviews for stuff as well?"

Shiki:"Reviews? Like for books? Well, I know you can, like, get people to read stories and stuff, but I there can only be reviews of certain things if they are, like, super popular."

Y/N:"Ok, so I can just post a few photos of a book on any social media, and people can say if it's good or bad?"

Shiki:"Exactement."

Y/N:"I'm guessing that's a yes. Thank you, Shiki!"

Shiki:"Anytime, Y/N."

*I rush to my room, and grab the manga Murakumo gave me*

Y/N:"I'm glad it isn't ruined."

*I grab my phone, and take a few pictures of Murakumo's work, and post it on social media*

Y/N(mind):Now for the caption.

Y/N(text):this was made by a friend of mine, what do you guys think?

*I post it, and wait for a respond, a few days past and still nothing*

Y/N(mind):Great...I should've thought this would be hard. If only I would've asked Shiki to post it, she's popular online, she would've gotten a response within an hour.

*My phone buzzes, and I see that it's a reply from my post*

Y/N:"Yes! Finally!"

*I run to Shiki's room, and show her*

Y/N:"I did it, Shiki! I followed you advice and I finally got one comment!"

Shiki:"?...Oh, that was me."

Y/N:"...I'm sorry, what?"

Shiki:"Yeah...I'm the one who commented on it."

Y/N:"..."

Y/N(mind):What did I do to deserve this?!

Y/N:"Damn it!"

Shiki:"Hey, do you, like, still have that manga?"

Y/N:"?...Yeah, why?"

Shiki:"Let me read it, I can even let everyone else read it too, right?"

Y/N:"!...O-Ok, sure."

*A few hours later, Shiki gives it back to me*

Y/N:"Great..."

Y/N(mind):Now what? I showed everyone one of Murakumo's manga, so do I just tell Murakumo that they are actually good? I don't wanna involve everyone in this. I can do this, I hope.

*I approach Murakumo's room, and I knock on the door*

*Murakumo's point of view*

It's been a few days since Y/N has even spoken to me, ever since he saw my face, he probably thought it looked hideous. This is worse than him trying to act all nice, I wish he never even saw my face.

*I'm trying to create a manga, but I keep crumbling the paper up*

Murakumo(mind):It's not good enough, that's not good enough either. Ugh...it's all terrible!

*I hear a knock on my door*

Murakumo:"Y-Yes?"

Y/N:"Hey, Murakumo? It's me, Y/N. Can I come in?"

Murakumo:"!...S-Sure."

*I let him into my room, and he sits on my bed*

Y/N:"Murakumo, can you...take off your mask, please."

Murakumo:"!...W-Why?!"

Y/N:"Please...I want to say this to you, without your mask on."

Murakumo(mind):What? Is he going to say something bad, he is going to say I'm hideous to my face, I already know that I am.

Murakumo:"...I'm sorry, I don't want you to see my-"

Y/N:"I wasn't asking, Murakumo. Please, take off your mask."

Murakumo:"...F-Fine..."

Murakumo(mind):I just have to except it. I'm hideous.

*I take off my mask*

Y/N:"...Wow..."

Murakumo:"Uh...please don't stare at my face."

Y/N:"Well, I have to look at your eyes while I'm talking to you."

Murakumo:"Ugh..."

Y/N:*Inhales* *Exhales* "Murakumo...you are not unbearable! You're gifted, talented, and beautiful! I don't even care if you believe me or not, just listen to me, and everything I'm about to say to you. Why do you think I say nice stuff to you all the time?! Of course, I'm trying to be nice. You need someone who is nice to you, because you sure as hell can't be nice to yourself!"

Murakumo:"!"

Y/N:"Murakumo...I've gone through all these things, trying to convince you, but you don't listen to me! If you actually did you would've cared about yourself, you don't have to go telling yourself all these lies about yourself."

Murakumo:"They're...not lies." *Sniff*

Y/N:"Prove it to me, convince me that...that you deserve to hide your amazing face under a mask!"

Murakumo:*Sniff*

Murakumo(mind):You're wrong, Y/N! Everything about me deserves to be hidden, I don't need to prove something that's a fact.

Y/N:"Hah...hah...Murakumo, I..."

Murakumo:*Sniff* "Why do you bother? Why do you even bother telling me that I'm even remotely interesting?"

Y/N:"...I..."

*Y/N's face blushes a bit*

Y/N:"I've been wondering that myself, sometimes. I think it's just that...I can't stand you putting yourself down all of a sudden."

Murakumo:"...Y/N..." *Sniff*

*I sit next to Y/N on my bed*

Y/N:"!...I'm sorry, for all of this. I just can't believe you had that side of you."

Murakumo:"...I'm sorry too, for making you do all that useless work for me..." *Sniff*

Y/N:"...It's not useless."

*Y/N hugs me, and my face starts blushing*

Murakumo:"A-Ah!"

Murakumo(mind):Why is he hugging me?! Does he really think I'm beautiful?

*Y/N's point of view*

*I hug Murakumo, and rub my hand through her hair*

Murakumo:*Sobs* "Y/N...you don't...like me at all, do you?"

Y/N:"Like you?"

*My face turns red*

Y/N:"I-I-I've...w-well..."

Y/N(mind):I loved her since I saw her face, her actual face. I didn't realize I did until now.

Y/N:*Gulp* "I-I do, Murakumo. I like you, a lot."

Murakumo:*Gasps* "Y/N..."

Y/N:"Do you...like me too?"

Murakumo:"...T-That's...t-t-too e-embarrassing..."

Y/N:"Come on, Murakumo...I said I love you, don't you love me back?"

Murakumo:"...Fine."

*Murakumo grabs my shirt, and pulls me towards her, both of our faces red, as our lips make contact, but she immediately backs off*

Murakumo:"A-Ah! W-What did I just do?!"

Y/N:"!...T-That..."

Y/N(mind):Why did it end so quickly?!

Murakumo:"I shouldn't have done that! That was too embarrassing-"

*I put my hand on Murakumo's cheek, and pull her face towards mine, and I kiss her*

Murakumo:"!"

*Murakumo pulls back*

Murakumo:"N-No, I hate this! I didn't want this to happen! Ugh...you probably hate me..."

Y/N:"Murakumo, I don't hate you at all."

Murakumo:"I don't believe you-"

*I peck Murakumo on the lips*

Y/N:"You wanted me to convince you, are you convinced now?"

Murakumo:"...Spend the night with me, then I will."

Y/N:"!...R-Really? Yes! You got it."

*I hang out with Murakumo until we both go to sleep, but I give her a kiss goodnight*

Y/N:"Goodnight, Murakumo. I love you."

*I fall asleep*

I felt so satisfied that night, and the next morning, the rest of our classmates told Murakumo how good her work is.

Everything went back to normal. Except Murakumo now wants both negative and positive comments from me, but I still only give her positive comments. She even decided that we should make manga together.
That's how I became Murakumo's support. (The end, and I'm gonna say it, roll credits!)
