Here is another one. I know it's really short, but I mean it would be horrible if I dragged it out right? Well I feel it would have been. I hope you like it!

Hidden

Sitting under the trees shading them from the hot sun, Inuzuka Kiba couldn't help but begin thinking of Shino's sunglasses. At times when they weren't on missions or training and the boy could relax his thoughts would sometimes drift to the other boy and wonder what lay behind those dark shades. He had come up with many theories though. One being that Shino just didn't have eyes and he only wore them so that people wouldn't know. Another being that Shino was just horribly ugly and ashamed of it. Though he knew that the boy couldn't be that ugly, if he was at all, because Kiba could see all of his face except for what the glasses hid from him. Now Kiba didn't want to believe either of those but without really knowing what lay behind the glasses he'd never know.

So sitting on the bank of the river with the bug-loving boy beside him his thoughts once more focused on the boy and what lay hidden behind the dark glasses. I wonder if he would just tell me if I asked him. Pondering over this for a while, while watching the small fish glide through the water he frowned. He didn't want to seem intrusive or nosy. But he was just so curious about it. It never really bothered him that much until he had nothing else to keep him occupied. Finally after mentally debating whether or not to ask he decided that it wouldn't hurt to ask, as long as he didn't press the topic further than asking.

"Shino," Kiba started looking over at the quiet boy. His friend's head turned and it looked as if the boy may have been looking at him, but with the shades on he just couldn't tell. "Why do you wear those sunglasses?"

The taller boy said nothing and just sat there silently. Kiba assumed that he just didn't want to answer and tried to think of something else. Though it was to no avail. He sighed and rested his elbows onto his drawn up knees. He then saw movement in his peripheral vision and looked over at Shino freezing in shock and anticipation. The boy was removing his glasses.

When the glasses were off Kiba could see the beautiful look of Shino's face even with his eyes closed. The pale skin looked so soft and much more appealing with the glasses gone from his face. Then slowly Shino's eyes opened to reveal a pair of deep brown eyes. Kiba locked into a stare with the intense brown eyes looking into his own. So lost in thought of how beautiful Shino was without the glasses he failed to notice that the brown eyes he was staring into coming closer to his own. Only when he felt soft lips gently press against his own did he awaken from his stupor.

The kiss was gentle and loving ending far too quickly. Kiba was slightly shocked at the sudden kiss, but had liked it.

"To hide how much I stare at you."

"What?" Kiba said looking at Shino. His pale face contrasted well with the pink tint that dusted over his cheeks.

"That is why I wear my sunglasses."

"Oh…" Kiba said letting everything that happened sink in. However his sudden silence made the other boy think that he had been rejected. So when he stood to leave not wanting to have to see the disgust or horror on the other's face, he lost his balance not prepared for a large weight to tackle him to the ground. Shino turned to see Kiba hugging him and smiling.

"You don't need to hide it, baka," Kiba said, slightly blushing, causing Shino to smile and pull him closer to himself and enjoying the embrace.
