A/N: Hi! Sooo...I actually really like Kakuzu/Ino and thought I'd write a short fic about them. A fluff one because...because I didn't want to go in depth yet. Yes, yet because I was thinking about writing a long one but I want to finish my Deiino first (which is slowly coming to an end in my part! My future chapters will be hella long so more details...it was supposed to be a one shot anyway lol)

No plot whatsoever, just fluff.

Super short story is short.

Ino bursted out laughing.

"You were actually a chubby little kid, Kakuzu!"

A single old printed photograph was in Ino's hands before the person in the photo, albeit years ago, grabbed it from her. Said man glared at his girlfriend- why, he already stopped asking himself that questionsfor a long time already- and placed the picture back into the photo album. He really shouldn't have had accepted for her looking at his stuff. He even frowned seeing his childhood pictures. He silently regretted not burning them along with his parents' things.

"Aw, don't be so grumpy about it! I haven't said anything bad," she placed her head on his shoulder, "besides, I think you were cute."

Kakuzu merely raised an eyebrow at her.

"Cute."

"Yes. Cute."

He closed the album while rolling his eyes and proceeded to stand up to put it back in the box but Ino just pushed him back down and went straight for his lap, arms around his neck and leaned in for a kiss.

To which her boyfriend blocked with his free hand and was given a pout in return. She then pushed it to the side and tried again, but Kakuzu stopped her once more. This girl can be a pain when she want's somthing.

"What gives? Let me kiss you!"

There it is; once she has something in mind, she won't back down and that was kind of annoying.

The taller man turend his head away.

But he did not do this for that reason. It was because he would rather die than let her see his cheeks tainted by a darker shade of a reddish-brown.

Ino continued to catch his attention, and after a few minutes of trying to make her stop, he sighed.

Kakuzu wrapped his arms around her waist and stared with great intense into her eyes. There was silence and he was confident about the pink blush that appeared on her cheeks. Finally, that would make her stop-

He wasn't prepared for her to run her soft fingers on his dark tattered skin from his lips to his cheeks.

He wasn't prepared for the soft look in her eyes.

He wasn't prepared for her free hand to push his hair back.

He wasn't prepared for the soft kiss she placed on his forehead, then on his lips.

"You're handsome," Ino wrapped her arms around his neck. "And I mean it, Kakuzu."

And he certainly wasn't prepared for that.

"Sorry I'm annoying and persistent," laughed Ino. "I'm always like this when-"

He kissed her back, albeit a bit more harder than she did.

"Stop talking," Kakuzu's eyebrows furrowed downwards as he couldn't stop the blood rushing on his cheeks as Ino's eyes widened. "and let me kiss you."
