"N-no, Neji-nii-san, we m-mustn't!"
Hinata wished she hadn't stuttered. In the subdued acoustics of the cramped storage room, it only made her protests sound even less convincing.
"Shh, it's okay," Neji ensured her, his voice almost a growl. Hinata felt the feelings she'd suppressed for so long starting to surface despite her desperately trying to fight them.
"B-but we're both Hyuuga, and what if someone gets to know?"
"They won't. Come now, you know you want this as much as I do"
"B-but…"
"No buts." He silenced her by placing his finger over her lips. "Just take it off, and I'll follow."
Hinata swallowed hard. What her and her cousin were about to do was wrong, and the mere thought of how her father would react if he found out made her weak with fear.
Still...
She looked into Neji's eyes, and the desire she saw there reflected her own. Finally, she gave in.
Her trembling fingers removed the wrapping from the chocolate bar, revealing smooth, dark squares of a divine scent. A soft crack told her Neji was one step ahead, and with no further hesitation, she followed his example. Soon the heavenly sweetness enveloped her tongue.
By doing this they were breaking the secret Hyuuga diet, especially designed to purify chakra. It meant months of rigorous self restraint thrown out the window. And it was all worth it.
"Neji-nii-san, I l-love chocolate!"
Neji didn't answer. He was already lost in bliss.
