Beneath the Willow Tree

By: Nikkii-Love706

Shino punched a near by tree, "Damn it! Why'd I have to go and do something stupid!" He punched the tree again and it snapped in half. He kept replaying his stupidity over and over and over again." He probably wont talk to me again." He released a long, sad sigh. He sat on the snapped tree contemplated on what he has done. 'Why am I over reacting to something so trival,' he chuckled to himself, 'He will probably have forgotten by now.' He looked at the place where the tree had broken in half. "Well atleast my strength has gotten better." While lost in his crazy world he didnt notice the figure coming up behind him. That was until his face was in a pile of dirt and someone was straddling his lower back.

"Oi, get off!" he nearly screamed. His arms were pinned above his head, he struggled to no avail. "Hey! Who the hell are you?" he growled at the stranger. He felt pressure on his back and warm breath against his ear. "Now Shino, do you really want me to get off?" Shino knew that voice. 'is that....Kiba?' Shino gaped at the ground not believing it, "Kiba? Is that you?" He started to struggle and huffed in annoyance. He felt a strong wet thing go up his neck to his ear. "Maybe." That simple move made his whole body shiver. All of a sudden he was being turned around, arms still pinned above him and kiba still straddling his waist. "Um, Kiba?" The hands holding down his wrists tightened, "Shino? Do you know how painful it is when the guy your in love with kisses you then runs off? Do you know how confusing that was?" Shino stared and stared he could barely comprehend what he was told, he was utterly shocked. 'Did he just say he was in lo-love with me?' Kiba leaned forward, "Do you?" he wanted to kiss him again. "Kiba I didnt mean to. I-I had the urge to kiss you. Ive always wanted to make you mine, in more ways then one." Shino squirmed alittle. "To be truthful I have been in love with you since the chunin exams, maybe before that at the academy. Im sorry I hurt you, I was just so sickened of myself for doing something so selfish, I feared you would hate me, but I really do lo-love you."

Kiba was quiet the whole time, not really moving the only way you could tell he was still alive was the light rise and fall of his chest. 'He's probably struggling with what I told him.' Shino looked at the other boy wondering if he was ok. "Kiba, its OK if you dont believe me. Id understand if you ha-" A growl eminated from the boy above him. "Shino shut up!" He was in shock, more then shocked he was bewildered. "Ive finally been told you love me and you think I would hate you? You must be mental!" Kiba leaned even closer, "Can I take off the glasses?" Shino was to stunned to say anything but his miond was freaking out. 'Glasses? He cant take off the glasses! It would be completely humiliating, if he saw what was under the glasses he would hate me for sure.' He sighed. "Kiba, im sorry but I cant let you. If you saw what was under the glasses you would definatly hate me."

Kiba used his free hand to reach up and slowly remove the glasses. What he saw stunned him. "Shino? Why are you crying?" He looked rather worried. Shino inhaled deeply, "I was overly happy and I let my emotions get to the best of me. I would completely understand if you thought I was weak and pathetic." The tanned boy smiled and stroked the pale boys cheek, soothingly, "Shino, there is absolutely nothing wrong with showing emotion." If possible his smile got bigger, "Plus they are the most beautiful hazel I have ever seen. There as amazing, just like you. And they dont hide your emotions, I can see your pain and joy." He lent down and placed a gentle kiss to the other boys lips. Shino was rendered spechless once again.

When his brain was able to work again he didnt get the chance to say anything when he found warm, urgent lips against his. "I love you Kiba!" was he could mumble against the lips before they were in a full blown make out session. Kiba leaned away and let out a sad sigh, he released Shinos arms and put on his best smile but it faltered. "Shino I have to go walk Akamaru buuuut I dont wanna weave!" His Smile turned into a pout. Shino let out a chuckle, "Say no more Kiba. I will accompany you." The other boy looked confused for a second but then he realized what he had heard, "Youll walk me? Really?" The way it sounded shino got a nice mental image of kiba in a collar and nothing else, said boy leaped of him and yanked him up into a bear hug. "Yay, Shino is comin on a walk with me and Akamaru!!!" He was literally jumping around with glee. Shino stood and wiped himself off. "Well are we going?" Kiba grinned and grabbed his hand and ran at full speed to the Inuzuka's place.

For the rest of the day they walked and laughed and shared some hidden kisses. They even planned to meet up for a date tomarrow. To Shino this had to be the greatest day of his life, well atleast so far. When they parted there kiss lasted mere seconds but it was completely wonderful. Both boys went to bed thinking of how wonderful tomarrow was going to be.
