--We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux—Bloc Party, Flux
A/N: Shino and Kiba need more love. Don't own anything. Not really Yaoi just awkward teenage moments. Oh how we all love them.
Kiba is lying beside Shino (well more like on Shino because Kiba never has had any respect for personal space) not so quietly and not still because he can't stop fidgeting. Its awkward, and Shino is sure "normal" friends don't do this but right now with his kikaichu thrumming in a comforting way under every spot Kiba's tan body overlaps his own…Shino can't bring himself to care. Shino does care, however, about the awkward 'silence' that he can feel more than hear because despite Kiba's failing attempts at conversation (small talk really) the room feels hollow. Finally Shino sits up…kinda forcing Kiba off of him and to the very edge of the bed and kinda relived for the new and sudden distance that is indicative of them…finally there's enough room to breathe, enough room to realize its his heart that's beating at 15.3 beats per second and Kiba's breath that is coming out in unhealthy almost hyperventilating pants. Shino's kikaichu are buzzing and Kiba is fidgeting, his eyes flitting everywhere but at Shino…like a nervous dog. "Kiba" Shino's voice is raw in the tense moment and Kiba can feel it rip through him and can smell the apprehension that he can't see by just looking at Shino.
But Kiba can't focus on any of that as the power of his name being uttered in that way from Shino's lips shocks him so deeply that he can't look anywhere but at Shino. "Kiba" again, more firmly and then in a swift moment Shino removes his glasses and lets his sluggish, bug like eyes that are surround by skin just slightly paler than the rest of his milky body stare into Kiba's bewildered ones. Shino realizes he's never really seen Kiba before and Kiba is trying to figure it out….take it all in…he's searching for something….anything….trying to travel deeper and deeper but maybe just running in place. " OK?" shino chuckles awkwardly and puts his glasses back on with a haste, " No more mystery friend right." He's attempting humor and failing. Kiba is siting still…and that alone makes Shino's stomach drop. "Ahh" Kiba shrugs thinking trying to figure out why…how…its stupid-- but now Kiba feels he knows less about Shino then he did 10 minutes ago.
