It was his usual 7 am run around the city park. In his usual running clothes with his hair tied in his usual ponytail. The same scenery and mostly the same people. Neji never pays any special attention to anyone aside from the polite nod to fellow runners passing by. Hes just not someone who's very sociable unless he needs to be for work.

Today though someone caught his eye for reasons he can't even explain. A tall muscular boy in cargo capris and a furry jacket despite the warm weather. His hair was for lack of a better word, wild, however not completely unkempt. Natural dark tan skin with what looked like red birth marks or tattoos on his cheekbones that resembled triangles. Above his red marks he had slender dark eyes that looked perfect with his skin. Next to him jumping around was a very, very large dog, about the size of this boy if not bigger. Pure white, long fur, and a loud but gentle bark.

Once Neji realized his running pace was now at a slow jog and his neck on the verge of breaking from looking at this wild boy and his dog he snapped out of it and started to run faster. Finishing his morning run thinking nothing of the boy for the rest of the day. Or so he thought he would.

He opens the door to his apartment painting only slightly even though he pushed his run a little harder today than usual. Which was odd because Neji liked his usual lifestyle.

Slipping off his grey and white nikes he heads to the bathroom stripping from his matching gray with white striped track jacket, and yes his matching grey and white joggers. After putting his sweaty clothes in the hamper he stood in his bathroom mirror for a moment before getting ready to shower.

Hes never particularly cared about his appearance to others. He knew he was a good looking man but for some reason he couldnt pin point, he was checking himself out in his mirror almost as if to make sure that he was as good looking as he thought.

But why?

Then his mind snapped back to the boy he saw in the park. His wild dark brown hair, tan skin with red cheeks. His smile, oh man the smile on that boy as he rough housed with his companion.

As Neji was standing in front of his bathroom mirror he couldnt beleive the face he saw before him. His pale skin had developed a pink tint that he was sure had never happened before in his life. He all of a sudden felt hot and embarrassed in front of himself. Quickly he turned on a cold shower to clear his mind.

Earlier that day

Akamaru pushes his way into Kiba's room and pounces on him in his sleep giving him kisses and a sweet bark trying to wake him up.

"Oi Akamaru, why are you here so early we can sleep for another hour." He says as he rolls over and tries to protect himself from the large dog with his comforter.

Not giving in Akamaru starts lightly pouncing pushing his front paws down into Kiba's sides. With a gasp and groan Kiba figured he wouldnt be able to fall asleep again anyways. Dragging himself out of bed shooting daggers at his dog, Akamaru just looks at him with a smile on his face and innocent eyes.

"What's the big deal?" He said with an annoyed look on his face. "I thought we came to an agreement 8 o'clock was early enough" looking at the clock on his bedside table "now you wanna get there by what 7, are you kidding me?"

Akamaru just barked and wagged his tail in agreement. Kiba decided not to fight it and went to the bathroom to get ready. Washing his face and running wet fingers through his hair he smiled at himself.

He learned to love his messy hair because even in his youth no matter what type of hair product he'd use to try and tame it, it would never hold and usually turn out worse. He figured his hair may have always been kind crazy but it never actually looked bad. As he grew into his body and face he thought his hair gave him an edgy animalistic look that no one else could pull off. He'd learned to love the looks he had grown into especially with his family's tattoos across his face. With one last good look at himself and a smile in the mirror, he continued to get dressed and head to the city park with Akamaru.

Arriving almost exactly at 7 am he walked with Akamaru to the largest grass clearing in the park, it was close to the track that runners and bikers used. It always made Kiba wish he was a runner so he could give Akamaru more proper exercises. He was a fast sprinter and would play chase with his dog but he could never give him a fulfilling run.

With his mind wandering for a moment he wondered if he might run into him today. Or at least see him in action. Kiba was starting to think it might not be such a bad thing coming to the park a little earlier, after he kept catching someone leaving the park as he was entering.

Kiba was mad at himself for not noticing this person fully the first time he ever saw him. As he was walking into the park with Akamaru about a week ago out of the corner of his eye he saw the most beautiful creature hed ever seen. Fairly tall though not as tall as him where Kiba was 6'2" with long brown almost black hair tied up in a silky ponytail. A slender yet muscular body definitely a runners that looked perfect in a matching dark and light grey track jacket and joggers.

Kiba had never been upset at giving his dog more attention that his surroundings but on this day he was flustered. Since he only caught a glimpse of this man he could only see his side profile so much so he didnt even know what color his eyes were. He just saw his long eyelashes and beautiful facial features as he was putting his headphones away and walking out of the park.

Kiba had thought about this man many times since he first saw him, hoping to catch him as he went to the park with Akamaru since then. Never as much as today though because he thought there's no way he could miss him being at the park this early. He smiled to himself and thanked Akamaru in his head for waking him up early. Just as he started opening his backpack from under the heavily shaded tree he looked up and lucky enough saw him.

Again the only thing he could think was that this man was the most beautiful thing hed ever laid his eyes on, even more so now that Kiba saw his entire figure. Running with perfect form, not even looking out of breath. A light sweat over his milky skin. The dark silky ponytail swaying with every step and the way his clothes fell around his body as he moved. Today he was wearing grey and white joggers with matching shoes.

As the man started nearing the corner of the track getting closer, what made Kiba's heart skip a beat and his mouth gape open a little bit was when he saw this man's eyes. They looked bigger than the average human eye but maybe that had something to do with the iris that almost looked silver and the fact that you could hardly make out a pupil. Under his long eyelashes along with his sharp nose, delicate mouth and slender jaw line, Kiba could hardly beleive that he was looking at a human being.

Kiba followed the man with his eyes as he turned the corner and was running further and further away from his tree. He only snapped out of his awe as Akamaru nudged him and started wagging his tail with his hind legs up and his front paws down. Elated Kiba roughed up behind Akamaru's ears and proceeded to grab the dogs oversized tennis ball.

Kiba hadn't even noticed the time go by as him and Akamaru were playing what seemed to be a tackle tag of some sort. When he stopped for a moment he felt the neeed to turn around and as he did he saw the beautiful man leaving the park.

Severely disappointed he didnt take the time to look for him again in that hour, Kiba decided it was time to pack up and head home for breakfast. Even though he didnt get a chance to see or talk to him again Kiba left the park with a huge grin on his tan face, making his cheek tattoos curl inward with his smile.

A/N

So this is my first story ever. I honestly thought this was gonna be a little easier but man was I wrong lol I hope I don't ramble too much and it's only a few chapters.

My reasoning for this story is that I feel there are too little Kiba/Neji pairs and it's one of my favorites lol so if I couldn't find what I wanted why not do it myself.

Thanks for the read and let me know what you think!
