Today is the day I'll confess my feelings to Hinata. No matter the result or response, I'm simply tired of all this...emotional excitement I have when she is near. There will be no backing out this time, Shino. You will tell her how you feel and you will accept her response.

"Hinata," Shino said quietly, his heart beating wildly against his ribs. "I have something to tell you..."

The shy girl smiled and sat next to her teamate, her eyes meeting his. "Yes, Shino Kun?"

Shino blushed madly and whispered,"I...have been thinking. About y-you."

Hinata's cheeks grew pink as she played with her fingers again. "R-really? W-what is it?"

I can do this. I won't chicken out like last time.

"It's...Hinata, I think I..." He mumbled, getting redder by the second.

Almost there, just a few more words...

"Y-yes?"

Shino sighed and hung his head,"You have lovely eyes."

Oh, God. I'm so pathetic. Now she'll never know.

Hinata gave a giggle so sweet it made him smile. "You have very nice eyes as well, Shino Kun."

Shino rose a brow at his precious teamate. "Do I now? Arigato, Hinata Chan."

She rose to her feet and held Shino's hand tightly,"K-Kiba is waiting f-for us. We sh-should go."

Shino didn't know why she held hands with him, or why she even commented him. But it didn't bother him in the slightest, this was a dream come true.

I couldn't tell her today, true, but there's always tommorow.

The two walked hand in hand, amazingly neither of them blushing, and Hinata smiling proudly. With one hand on her chest and the other in Shino's, she whispered,"Oh well, Shino Kun. There's always tommorow."

A/N:Yes, I know very well that its very OOC. I really could care less. And to all the ShinoHina fans out there, MaiTei would like to say Thank you.
