So Enjoy the Better second-shot!

Warning/s: Erm, it's shonen-ai/yaoi.

Title: Thoughts
Theme(s): #23 Weak heart
Summary: Kiba's weak heart makes him think useless thoughts.

Inuzuka Kiba is usually strong. He protects those that are dear to him without any second thought. He takes risks, because life is too short for a shinobi not to. He grins to whatever situation, ready to take it, even if the situation were death.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, Kiba is usually weak.

He is vulnerable to Shino's fleeting touches and his too short cuddles. He somehow can't move everytime he is treated to a view of Shino's normally covered eyes. Kiba's knees turn wobbly when Shino gets too close. And he can only smile nervously as he feels Shino's gaze on him.

And even though he knows that Shino is his, and he is Shino's, he often thinks if Shino is glancing at that girl near them behind his dark glasses. He often thinks what Shino is thinking about, when he stays silent. And Kiba often thinks if Shino really loved him.

But as Kiba felt a hand intertwine with his as they walked through the busy streets of Konoha, the thoughts he had been thinking shattered away. He glanced at the taller teen beside him, and he could've sworn that there was a smile hidden behind that long coat. And with the right angle, you could somehow see Shino's dark brown eyes, looking right at Kiba, and no one else.

"I know what you're thinking, Kiba. I love you. Now, come on."

Was he delusioning now? Or was that spoken whisper real?

Judging from the barely visible blush on Shino's face, it had to be real.

Those were useless thoughts he was thinking before, Kiba realized.

Why did he have such a weak heart anyway?

Yupp. Definitely better than the previous second-shot I posted. Reviews are greatly appreciated!
