Hinata sat next to Shino out on her front lawn and stretched out. He didn't talk too much, and neither did she, so they instead took a leaf out of Shikamaru's book and watched the clouds lazily pass on by. It was a nice day, so her neighborhood was filled with the shrieks and cries of playing children. They seemed to be the only solitude of silence still left on the block.
Closing her eyes, Hinata sighed in content and felt the sun beat down on her. She was in bliss until on her arm started to tingle. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked down to see some creepy, icky black spider on her arm.
She squeaked and sat bolt up right, brushing it off her arm. She raised a hand to slam it down again and kill it, until two hands were placed over the small creature. Shino met her eyes and held up his hands for her to see. Crawling around inside was the little spider that had been on her arm.
Twisting away from her, he set the spider down on the grass. She barely caught sight of it as the black spindly legs maneuvered their way away from the two.
"Why didn't you kill it Shino?"
"Because," he started, looking back in her direction. "It's so small and fragile. People don't understand how beautiful it can be. It'd be kind of cruel to just kill it."
When he put it that way, it made sense and she nodded as if to agree with him.
"Maybe that's why I like you so much," he said quietly. She only had a second to comprehend before he leaned over and lightly brushed her cheek with his lips.
She sat up a little straighter and went completely stiff. Her cheeks burned and she felt clammy everywhere. But it wasn't a bad feeling. On the contrary, it was quite nice. She giggled and avoided his eyes, instead watching the ants crawl under her feet. Small and fragile yet beautiful.
