This one is for xFallingxCastlexWallsx and my Missy dearest (my friend who reads these), both of whom asked for more Momo/Mino

Actually, Missy basically threatened me at gun point. She is able to look at all my doodles and actually talk to me about my characters and so these are the two that she has become seriously attached to.

Really, I never hear thee end of it. Maybe this will shut her up.

Humming happily Momo walked along the path to the home of the Hokage, swinging the bag she carried with her in time with the nameless tune. There was a cheerful spring in her step as she skipped up the front steps and a huge grin on her face that she flashed brightly to the woman who opened the door to her.

"Hello Momo-chan." Hinata said warmly, laughter filling her voice. The girl hadn't been over in about a week and she had been wondering when she would drop by again.

"Hello Hinata-sama! I'm here to work on our diorama for school with Mino."

"He's in the living room." She said chuckling when the girl immediately shot off to the room.

"Thanks!" Momo called over her shoulder, hurrying into the living room and dropping her bags when she finally saw her best friend and dearly beloved sitting cross-legged on the floor, leaning against the couch as he quietly read a book. "Mino-kun!" She squealed as she launched herself at him, wrapping the poor boy in a familiar and suffocating hug.

"I came so that we can finish or project and I brought a lot of stuff to help! And I also brought glitter so that we can decorate it!" She pulled back and beamed at the stoic and unchanging face of the boy.

"Okay." He said quietly, waiting for the exuberant girl to get off of him to set his book aside so that they could get to work.

"Mei and Kuro are doing this together and they're making the Hokage mountain and I told them that everyone does the Hokage mountain but they said that they'd be, but I don't really think so. I think the pond that we're making will be way better and no one else will be able to do it so we'll be… hey, what's that word?"

"Unique." Mino quietly supplied her, gluing together some paper to make the little trees that Momo had told him to do.

"Yeah! We'll be unique! Hey, how much glitter should I put on the lake?" She said, looking down into their little box with concern over how sparkly their "water" should be.

"That depends on where the sun is, doesn't it?" She asked before he could answer her. Sensing his nod she quickly made a sun, pasting it on the box before nodding. "Okay. Now we can put some glitter on it!" She said grinning.

"Don't get any on the grass." Mino reminded her and she nodded, catching her tongue in between her teeth as she focused on getting it just right.

An hour passed and Mino found himself working alone, patiently gluing together paper and art sticks so that even the most minute detail could be perfect. Momo had fallen asleep, her head resting on one of his crossed legs as she lightly snored. Glancing down at her Mino let slip one of his rare smiles, shaking his head at the girl.

The majority of people couldn't understand how the relationship between the two of them made sense. Sure, they had grown up together, but they were the complete polar opposites of each other. Didn't Mino ever get annoyed with how clingy and loud Momo was? Didn't Momo ever want Mino to stop being so quiet and unresponsive?

Mino thought it best to simply ignore those ignorant people.

Sure, she was loud and she barely ever stopped talking. She never heard the word "No" when it was spoken to her and she bulldozed past any objections when she wanted to get her way, but she was his best friend. She always had been and always would be.

She might have been loud but she always knew when to get quiet so that she could hear him, and since he rarely spoke she was able to fill whatever awkward silences there might have been. She might not have been able to hear the word no but she knew better than to go against him when he got a look in his eye, and he was fine with her getting her way since she always brought him along with her.

Finished with putting the final touches on the project Mino took a mental step back to look at the small box objectively.

And objectively, it sucked.

Everything was put together with the perfection that Mino was effortlessly capable of so he supposed that it actually probably should have looked quite decent, but Momo's influence was layered on too thickly.

The trees weren't green but orange and yellow since Momo's favorite season was autumn, and Momo had made the grass a violent lime green and the sky a dark and intimidating blue. She had been extremely careful when she had been putting the glitter on the pond, but the same could not be said for when she had decided to make the sun glittery and so everything was covered in a fine sheen of orange and yellow glitter.

It might have looked terrible when you first looked at it, but it was unpredictable and fun, just like Momo herself. And so, though he knew that their grade probably depended on doing it all over again, he knew that he couldn't change a thing.

"Mino, how about you wake Momo up so we can get her into a bed or send her on home. Your leg will fall asleep if you stay like that for too long." Mino looked up at his mother and down to the girl peacefully sleeping on his leg, drooling slightly as she softly snored. Shaking his head Mino reached over for his book, settling back since he knew that once Momo was out of it nothing could bring her back.

And it wasn't that he particularly minded being the one she leaned on, not in the least.

A little older than the last one, but still, it shows their friendship very nicely (Momo clings, Mino takes it like a man)

Oh, and this may anger some of you but Mino does not end up with Momo.

PLEASE! DON'T KILL ME! I ALREADY HAVE A VERY ANGRY MISSY GOING AFTER ME!

Momo really does love Mino, but Mino only sees her as a friend and since Momo has always acted the same towards him he doesn't really see her feelings. Plus, Momo and Mino wouldn't work out because Mino would need something more. (I will explain more about this later)

Catch you later, alligator.

After a while, crocodile.
