Green eyes slowly flickered open as someone touched Shura's shoulder. He'd agreed to fill in for Kurenai while she and her brother dealt with some family emergency. Kiba had, as expected, been ecstatic and wouldn't stop calling him Okaa-sensei. Hinata had blushed shyly and asked if he wanted her to start practicing with her shuriken. Shino though, Shino's reaction was the most puzzling.
He'd expected the Aburame to call him Oba-sensei, considering the kid called him Aunt Shura, but he hadn't. He'd gone with Inuzuka-sensei until Shura had caught him in a headlock and ordered him to at least use Shura. Now this wasn't the puzzling bit. No, he should have expected something like that from an Aburame, but the almost invisible blushes, or the shy touches weren't.
"Okaa-sensei! You can't fall asleep when we're training! What if one of us got hurt? Then what?!" Kiba's loud voice made Shura turn his head so he was staring at his pup. Kiba shifted uncomfortably under the stare, waiting for what his mother would do.
When the quiet growl reached his ears he dropped off the wall and began running with a wide grin. Shura was quick to follow and he chased Kiba around the training grounds for several long seconds before Kiba ran behind Shino.
There wasn't enough time to stop, though Kiba had enough time to dart away, and so Shura plowed right into the poor Aburame. There was a grunt, a yelp, and a cloud of dust that slowly cleared away to reveal Shino trapped under Shura.
Later that night, Shura prepared dinner in an automatic fashion. It was just he and Kiba again tonight so it wasn't like he really had to pay attention to too many things. He couldn't get the image of Shino, flushed and wide eyed, underneath him out of his head. The feel of the smaller body pressed against his wouldn't pass either and Shura couldn't stop the niggling feeling of guilt as he thought about it.
How angry would Koishi be if he knew that Shura was starting to lust after his baby nephew? How angry would Hajime, the boys father, be? He knew from Shino's actions of the past week that the kid had a crush on him, but to have a crush on the kid? Maybe it was just because he hadn't been laid in a while. That had to be it!
"Kiba! Dinner's ready!" The sound of racing feet reached Shura's ears and he sighed. He couldn't possibly have a crush on someone that was the same age as his pup. Was the best friend of his pup! It just wasn't right, even for shinobi.
A week later found Shura pressed against Shino once more, only now he was trying to keep them hidden in a hollowed out log. Shura had been out on a routine border patrol, as per his own request, when the genin had dropped out of a tree.
Shura supposed that Shino had wanted to tell him something important, he did follow the Inuzuka out to the border after all, but three missing nin had decided to show up at that exact moment. Shura had managed to take down one of them, a former Kiri chûnin, and Doku had gotten the Iwa genin, but the A-Ranked jyônin was going to take some strategy.
"Listen Shino, I want you to stay here and do not come out until I give the all clear. Understand?" The red eyes seemed to hesitate and Shura wondered where the sunglasses had gotten to. "I mean it gaki, I can't fight this guy and protect you at the same time." There was a reluctant nod and Shura flashed a thankful smile before jumping out of his hiding spot.
When Shino finally left the log Shura was already burning the bodies. "Shura-oba? Can I talk to you?" Green eyes flickered briefly to the genin before returning to the task of burning away any evidence. Shino was without his sunglasses, without his usual coat, and only had a weapons pouch and hitai-ate to prove he was a shinobi.
It was an effective disguise against the Aburame fan girls, seeing as they'd never actually seen what an Aburame looked like, but it only caused Shura mild annoyance. He'd been battling with his crush for nearly a week, had thought he'd pretty much beaten it, and avoided Shino like the plague. All his hard work was undone, however, with the exposure of the pale skin usually covered by the coat.
Even the small holes from the kikai didn't detract from his urge to catch one of those pale hands and nip at the skin of Shino's wrist. Did the idiot child not know what he did to Shura? Did he just not care?
The last of the nuke nin dissolved into ash and Shura whirled around to turn snapping green eyes on a suddenly motionless Shino. "Have you no sense of preservation? No intelligence to back up your kikai's power? What were you thinking, following me out here? I asked for border patrol because there are always one or two missing nin running around that I could let my frustration out on!"
Shino opened his mouth, maybe to defend himself, but Shura beat him to it. "You could have been hurt, or kidnapped, or any manner of other things! Missing nin don't care if you're part of a prestigious clan, they'd kill you just the same and laugh about Konoha being one shinobi short! Explain yourself right now Aburame Shino, or so help me your father will hear every detail of this-" he was cut off by a soft, hesitant pair of lips.
Shura stilled completely, breath catching in his throat and eyes going wide. He didn't even stir when Doku barked something lewd at him. When Shino pulled away Shura sucked in a large breath and shakily let it out. "What…Shino?" The confusion in his voice and on his face was enough to make Shino quirk a small smile.
"I like you Shurachi-kun. Kiba's been making fun of me for a month because he found out and Otousan said that he'd rather I crush on you than Hatake-san. I don't think he realized I would do something about my crush, but I have and I hope you aren't angry with me." Shura choked slightly.
He'd been crushing for a month? "Shino…I…" Shura sighed and slumped back against a tree. What was he going to do? He couldn't deny that his body had enjoyed the chaste kiss. Couldn't deny that he did like the Aburame. But Shino was so young! Not much younger than you were when you and Koishi had sex for the first time. Don't try that age shit with me either, Kakashi is at least seven years older than you and you had sex with him.
"Go home Shino. I have to finish my patrol, then we'll talk about this. I still can't believe you were stupid enough to follow me out here. You could have been seriously injured." Red eyes lowered to stare at the ground in slight shame.
He'd known it was stupid, but he couldn't resist the chance to get Shura alone. He always seemed to have Kiba or someone else with him in the village. "Hai Shura-oba, gomen nasai." He jumped into the tree's and was mildly reassured by the presence of Doku running beside him. Shura couldn't be to mad if he sent Doku to make sure Shino was safe.
Thankfully Kiba was asleep when Shura got home. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately if your routing for him, Shino was wide awake and waiting on his couch. Kiba had probably invited the other boy to a sleep over like every weekend. Thoughts of all the times he'd been pressed against that small body, of all the times he'd seen that pale skin, flooded Shura's mind.
He tried to ignore them in favor of getting himself some sake, but they always zeroed in on the brief kiss in the forest. One, two cups of sake and a third was being filled before the quiet padding of socked feet reached his ears. "Shura-oba?"
Slim fingers gripped the glass tightly and Shura threw back another cup of sake. "Shino-chan." There was a brief huff and Shura felt hope that the coming discussion would be forgotten in the face of adolescent annoyance. No such luck.
"Shurachi-kun, I like you. I've had a crush on you for the past two months," here Shura choked slightly and downed another glass, "and I would like it if you would at least give me a chance. I'm fourteen years old and can make a decision like this with some degree of surety. Please Shurachi-kun, just give me one chance."
The empty glass in his hand was studied briefly before being set down. Shura brought the mouth of the bottle to his lips and took several deep drinks before Shino became worried and pulled it away from him. Shura gasped quietly, sucking in air and mourning the loss of his sake. It was almost gone yes, but he'd wanted to be the one to finish it.
Those damned, red eyes were contemplating his bottle now though. They flickered up to him, back to the bottle, to the empty glass, then finally back to him. Without any further stalling, Shino brought the bottle to his own lips and gulped down the last mouthful. Shura couldn't stop the quiet snort that left him as the Aburame grimaced and coughed.
"Sake isn't something you chug down unless you're used to the feeling of it Shino." The boy looked over at Shura with a small glare and managed hack out his request for one chance again. With a resigned sigh, Shura nodded "Alright Shino, I'll give you one chance to convince me, so convince me."
The coughing seemed to stop instantly in Shino's surprise. "Really?" Shura nodded and those hesitant lips were on his again. This time they were a little more persistent and a warm tongue flickered experimentally against his closed lips. Shura parted them and slid his own tongue forward to caress Shino's.
It was obvious that the boy was surprised by this action, but he didn't pull away. He only had one chance after all. Shino recovered quickly, much to Shura's amusement, and retaliated by bringing his hands into contact with Shura's shoulders. They slowly trailed up his neck until Shino was holding both side's of Shura's face.
The kiss broke and Shino gasped for breath while Shura chuckled quietly. "That wasn't very convincing of your intentions Shino-chan. All that proved was that you are a hormonal teenager who wants to get laid." Red flared to life on the Aburame's cheeks and Shura quirked a small grin. "Though I suppose it would be better for you to be hormonal with me than to let some random chûnin get hold of you."
Shino looked up with a shocked face, made a small noise of disbelief in the back of his throat, and launched himself into Shura's arms. Moist lips pressed kisses onto every piece of skin Shino could reach while his face was buried in Shura's neck. "Thank you Shurachi-kun, I promise you won't be disappointed."
The Aburame never saw the sadness spark in green eyes, all he felt was the tightening of the arms holding him. "I'm sure I won't Shino, I know you're a good kid." And Shura knew that, like all kids, Shino would eventually become tired of being tied to a single person. He would move on to someone his own age, or someone more exciting than Shura, and Shura would watch over Shino from the sidelines once more.
