Just some ShinoKiba drabble I needed to write.
"Shino?"
Silence.
"Why won't you answer me?"
Again, silence.
Kiba grumbled to himself, cursing the day he started this…thing. Most would call what they had a relationship, but that was something Kiba refused to do. You can't call screwing-whenever-horny a relationship. No, that's called friends with benefits. A relationship was when there were feelings involved.
The dog-like boy rested his forehead against the other's, staring into those stolid eyes. He could feel Shino's hands on his hips, with his own arms wrapped around the Aburame's shoulders.
"Shino, I…"
It wasn't as if Kiba felt nothing for Shino. On the contrary, he was the world to the Inuzuka! He loved just being around his teammate, whether it be sparing, eating a silent lunch, or doing…well…what they did when hormones called. He couldn't imagine his life without his Shino there. He didn't want to try, either.
But when it came to reading the other boy, Kiba was at a loss. Shino hardly said anything, and when he said did say something, it was something like, "Enough, Kiba." That's how Shino stopped him every time he tried to bring up their relationship outside the bedroom.
One hand left the boy's waist and gently moved up to caress Kiba's hair gently. He opened his eyes again, blinking slightly, but only met the same look- complete emptiness. He sighed, leaning farther down to sit completely in Shino's lap, head on his shoulder.
"I do mean it when I say it, you know. I love you."
That same silence.
Kiba sat back up, meeting Shino's eyes angrily. The black-haired ninja merely stared back through his sunglasses. Hot tears stung at the Inuzuka's eyes.
"Why! Why won't you say anything!"
"What do you want me to say?"
Kiba couldn't see the other's mouth as he said it, because it was still covered by that high collar. His expression never changed as he spoke the words. The Inuzuka, sighed, leaning his head back down.
"You finally talk, and that's all you say?"
His hands fisted in Shino's gray coat, eyes squeezed closed as the tears finally broke free.
"Kiba…" the soft voice called to him. The hand that had been in his hair then moved to his chin, forcing him to look up again. His other hand gently wiped under each of his eyes, ridding Kiba's cheeks of the tears. "I love you, too."
There really should be more stories about this couple. Join me in my quest to make them as canon as SasuNaru! x3
Read and review please!
