Here is another one! Sorry about it being short and boring. I don't think it makes much sense either. So again sorry.

Thanks to Arie Date for beta-ing this for me! I would be lost without my betas. My writing is so horrible without being edited.

Watching and Waiting

Aburame Shino liked to watch things from afar, analyzing them thoroughly before doing anything. He would watch him move. Just the way he was walking could tell Shino many things. When he walked heavily he was either angry or sad. To tell the difference in his emotions he just had to watch how he would respond to Hinata's 'Are you okay?'. If he growled and glared slightly at her it was anger if he muttered something under his breath he was sad. Though Shino had learned even more than just telling emotions from his body language. When he was nervous he would slightly shift the weight from one leg to the other. If you didn't watch closely you wouldn't even notice him doing this. Then when he was excited and couldn't wait for whatever was to come he would be impatient about everything and happy over the smallest things.

Watching him made Shino relax though. He was content with only watching and not being able to touch. Though he wished he could touch, even for just a moment. Those moments happened whenever they sparred. The skin contact and heat he felt radiate from the boy provided him with some of what he wanted, but only made him want it all the more. For once he had had a small taste he wanted and craved more. But Shino had high self-control and was able to ignore his want and just watch.

He couldn't even remember when he had started watching him, it just sort of happened. He was always watching people, to analyze them, but his thoughts and eyes would always drift back to that one person. Shino was sure that he was in love with the boy, but he knew the other would think of him only as a mere friend. Shino wanted so much more than to just be friends, but he realized that the only way for him to remain close was to just watch and wait.

Waiting was another thing Shino had become very used to. After all he had waited all this time that he had been watching the boy. It's not as if a little longer would hurt, it just meant a little longer for him to hope that maybe, just maybe, the boy would return his feelings. But Shino knew that he would never tell the boy, because he would rather be around the boy and just be his friend, than tell him and be rejected and ignored. He would tell himself that he would only wait a little longer, but just how long a little more was, he had no idea. He never actually told himself just how long he would wait, or could wait before he had to admit his feelings. It would sometimes torment his thoughts and he could only relax when he was alone in the forest talking to his bugs. Though sometimes he found himself being content with just watching and waiting.

He would eventually admit his feelings, one day.

Shino watched him sleep peacefully under the pale light of the moon. They were on an overnight mission and sleeping in the forest. Hinata and Kurenai were on the other side of the clearing sleeping just as he should be doing, but this was one of the few chances he had a reason and excuse to be close to him for so long. The gentle rise and fall of his chest was rhythmic and Shino found himself slowly being lulled to sleep by it. Right as he shut his eyes to fall asleep he admitted his feelings in a whisper.

"I love you Kiba." The said boy just squirmed slightly in his blankets scooting down to capture more warmth completely oblivious to the confession of love that had just occurred.

The whole team lay in sleep worn out and relieved that they had completed their mission until the next morning when they awoke at dawn to back up what they had brought and continue back to Konoha. Nothing had changed though, except Shino felt a little better. He had gotten one step closer to telling Kiba how he felt about him. It was hard enough to actually say it aloud to Kiba in his sleep, but when he was awake would be a little more difficult and stressful. So he decided that maybe he'd just watch and wait for a little while longer.

The End

Please review! Sorry about it being so short.
