Neji waited for Kiba like he always did, and of course Kiba was late… But Neji was willing to let it slide, all he cared about was he had Kiba…That to him meant any and everything…He never would've thought that in a million years that the night of an accidental lip bump would've led to this.
(Flashback)
Neji was far too frustrated with the mission he was given, everything that could've went wrong, did go completely wrong. And now, mow the night of his eighteenth birthday…He was here, stuck in a god-forsaken cave, with Kiba and his mutt of all things.
"Neji go ahead and take a break." Kiba said seeing the stressed look in the older boys Byakugan eyes. "I'll take over for a little bit."
"Nonsense." Neji looked back at him. "You need to tend to Akamaru."
"He'll be fine, he just needs some rest…"
Neji deactivated his Byakugan, closing his eyes a little bit angry. "I'll be fine…just."
"Look Neji! We're a team okay! And until we find the others you're just going to have to trust my abilities just a little."
"I trusted your abilities." Neji stood up walking from the cave entrance over to Kiba. "And it drained you of all your chakra."
"We'll sorry for saving your ass, dick!" Kiba quickly stood up. "Cause if I recall correctly, your ability seems to have a pretty big flaw too… I at least gave you some time to recover!"
"Yes, and nearly killed yourself." Neji scowled.
"That was a risk, I was willing to take to help a comrade!"
"Acting so recklessly…. I wonder how you've survived all these years."
"And I wonder how come Lee and TenTen haven't asked to be transferred away from you after all these years." He took a step forward. "And another…" He tripped over a rock falling forward.
Neji's eyes shot wide open at what had happened; his lips were pressed against Kiba's. Kiba noticed and quickly pushed back separating their lips.
"S…Sorry." He stammered.
Neji just stood there looking at Kiba…what was that feeling? He grabbed Kiba smashing their lips together this was different… He couldn't describe it.
Kiba pushed away looking at Neji confused… "W…w…"
Neji cut him off bringing their lips to meet once more.
What the…what the fuck? Kiba's mind shouted. What the hell is he doing? Kiba didn't try and push him away… Granted I've liked you for a while… I just never really thought…
(Flashback over)
"Hey Neji." Kiba smiled running up to him.
"Where've you been?" Neji asked being pulled from his thoughts.
"Umm actually for like the past three minutes I've been right here…" He smiled. "I'm sorry I was a little late though… My mom wanted some stuff done before I left… She says Hi."
"Your mom knows?" Neji asked a little concerned.
"Yeah, she's my mom, she knows everything about me."
"And she doesn't care?"
"She says like any good mother, she want her pups to be happy, and she says at least she knows I'm not out getting girls pregnant." He kissed Neji softly.
"For all she knows this could be a cover for you going out and getting girl knocked up." Neji smiled back.
"True… but any ways, what's up?"
"Nothing… I… I just wanted to see you…" Neji wrapped his arms around Kiba's waist pulling him closer.
"You know for someone who's always so careful, you sure were careless earlier." Kiba said with a small smile. "We could've been caught."
"Hiashi was out at a meeting with Lady Tsunade, and Hanabi is out on a mission." He kissed Kiba. "So we were in the clear… But yeah, next time I'll have to be a little more careful."
Kiba leaned his head on Neji's shoulder. "I actually like it when your impulsive like that." He whispered.
Neji gave a small chuckle…Impulses or not he couldn't take the risk of them getting caught. But right now… He didn't care… All he cared was he had Kiba in his arms… that's everthing he'd need.
