Hey, it's my first ShikaIno fic! Yay! It was sorta inspired by Asimi's SasuSaku oneshot Scar Tissue. But, oh well, you'll love it.
Maybe she'll wake up long enough to tell you what she had told you before she drifted off to sleep. She's waking, sort of mumbling, and you want to shake her but can't as your arms won't obey you.
You look her over, watching her rouse herself into wakefulness. Blonde hair is sprawled across her face and over her shoulders, and she looked more beautiful than you have ever seen her. Her blue eyes blink sleepily was you give her your undivided attention for the first time in a long while.
As she finally stretches and yawns, she smiles at you with the coy smile she's always given you. You ask her what she meant earlier though your eyes were now reverted back up to the stars above you. She doesn't answer, and you look back at her, your own lazy brown eyes searching hers.
She opens her mouth and takes in a deep breath before saying exactly what she had hours earlier.
She said she loved you.
You had always loved her, but she hadn't known it or acknowledged it before tonight. You whisper that she'd never noticed it before now and was foolish for not. You tell her that you had never let that go. She closes those beautiful blue eyes and looks away. She whispers equally soft that she had began to love you gradually at first when her best friend began to truly love her first crush. You really want to believe her and just accept it, but you can't, you can't and you don't know why.
And as she tells you in hushed tones how she finally came to realize her affection and how she was jealous of that fan girl from sand, you start to trust her and you start to love her more and more with each passing second. You want to hold her close to you and just bask in her warmth but your body still won't obey you at all.
She stops as you look back at her with glazed eyes and moves closer to you under your tree as she and you both shiver from the cold summer night winds. She leans on you and you don't seem to mind her presence anymore, but you start to love it too, feeling more and more attached to your teammate as time slides by you both.
Her soft lips tell you again what she'd said three times before that night and you start to truly believe her and that her harsh words these past years were only lies, horrible lies that she told to hide her true emotions under. As you turn your pony-tailed head to look back into her deep blue eyes that resembled the ocean she moves closer, making you warmer and warmer still until it creeps slowly to your normally blank face.
You don't know how it happened but suddenly her lips are on yours and your eyes begin to close as you respond to her soft and chaste touch. You don't know why but somehow you'll never forget this tree, this spot, these stars because she was there with you when you needed her the most.
Maybe it's just your mind jumping ahead but you sense a passion in her somewhere where you can't reach and you wonder if that surge is all for you. She's said it three times and you're sure now that she really meant it and that your not dreaming as you kiss her back with more passion than ever before. You're not sure how this started or how it was going to end but you just don't seem to care because she's here with you and that's all you need right now. Her and her lips and her love, that's all you need as a man, as a ninja. You don't care that she'll probably bicker with you every day just because she'll be the one you'll be bickering with and that's all.
And you know somewhere deep inside that you'll never let her go no matter what she says or what she does.
Yeah, a little…erm…odd. And random. But that's me. :o)
Ja ne!
Datt-chan
Ps. I know I should get myself working on The High School Tragedy, but these keep coming to mind! So sorry!
