New Years Romance
Shikamaru sat at the bar of the club he was at watching the other ninja's party. It was New Years Eve and he was dragged to Konoha Midnight Club. He sat there sipping his drink as everyone spent time with his or her partner.
Shino was in a coroner booth with Hinata, she was obviously to shy to let everyone them. Ino was with Chouji but glaring at Sakura who was with Sasuke. Lee was sitting in a booth with Gaara, the sand ninja didn't look too happy to be there. TenTen had pulled Neji onto the dance floor, oh how enthused he looked. Near them were Asuma and Kurenai, she looked good for being a few months along. Then he saw Kakashi leading Iruka up the stairs, and laughed. Thank god the music was loud.
"What's so funny?" Someone called out.
Shikamaru looked over to see Kiba leaning against the wall, a beer in his hand, his leather coat unzipped. Shikamaru shook his head. "Nothing, I just saw Kakashi leading Iruka upstairs."
"Well, thank god the music's loud right?" Kiba said sitting down next to the other. "So having fun?"
Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "What do you think, I hate parties."
"Then why bother coming at all?"
"Because my team dragged me then abandoned me."
Kiba looked up at the clock. "Only an hour until the new year…"
"Yeah, just another year," Shikamaru said. "I don't ever see anything special about it."
"This year you will," Kiba mumbled.
Shikamaru looked at him. "Say that again?"
Kiba shook his head. "Nothing, so you wanna come up to the room with me? I hear the fireworks look great from up there."
"Well, it's too noisy in here, so yeah."
The two headed up the stairs and to the roof. Shikamaru leaned against the railing and looked over the village that was covered with lights. Kiba stood there next to him. "So got any plans for the new year?"
Shikamaru shook his head. "None of them would happen, I'm too lazy."
Kiba nodded. "Well, I got a plan."
"What is it?"
"I'll tell you later."
Shikamaru just shrugged and looked at he village again, watching Kiba out of the corner of his eye. Over the years Kiba had grown up a bit which kind of surprised him. But what surprised him the most was the fact that he had fallen for the Inuzuka. He recognized the feeling when they were fifteen, five years ago. But he was sure that the feelings were there for longer than that.
As he watched the village he noticed that everyone was heading out to the streets. "Must be time."
"Twenty more minutes."
The two stood there in silence until Kiba began to speak. "So about the new years plan."
Shikamaru looked over at Kiba who was staring at the sea of people in the streets. "Yeah, what about it?"
"It involves you."
Shikamaru just stared at the other. "Wh-what do you mean?"
Kiba just smiled and looked over at him as the countdown began.
Ten…Nine…Eight…Seven….
"I said it involved you."
Six…Five….Four…
Shikamaru could feel his heart begin to race and Kiba pulled him into his arms and began to lean in. Kiba closed the distance between them. Shikamaru felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest and wrapped his arms around Kiba's neck as he kissed back.
Three…Two…One…
Shikamaru could hear the fireworks and the people cheering but couldn't focus on anything but Kiba's lips on his own. As Kiba pulled away Shikamaru gasped for breathe. Kiba smirked. "Happy New Years Shikamaru."
