Kiba simply stood there, staring at his friend. He didn't know what his body was doing, the quickening heart rate, and the light dew forming under is bangs. All he knew was that he was confused, and had an exam in a minute and a half.

He had never felt this way for a person, let alone a boy, and he sure wasn't going to stay around for the situation to get even more awkward. Kiba turned away from Sai, giving a quick gesture upon his exit, and exited the room.

Although it seemed over, on his walk back to his classroom, he turned back to look at the room. He felt almost as if Sai would be waiting for him, ready to embrace him for the longest moment, making him late for any moment to come. He imagined it, Sai's dark hair pressed against his neck, the warmth causing is senses to flare into a blaze. His whole body begins to burn, and Sai lifts his head. Kiba leans down to kiss the boy, noses just barely touching, until they are interrupted by a loud buzzing noise.

Kiba snaps back to reality to notice that he has just missed the bell - and is missing his exam. Tearing his eyes from the classroom door from before, he runs back to his classroom - eyes fixated on his hung head. He was late, and Kakashi wasn't happy…

Asuma prattled on about something or other, then passed out the exam. Sai lightly touched the back of his neck. A soft ping! got his attention. He had gotten a message on Skype. No one had heard, so he turned his volume down and opened the program. Naruto had messaged him.

Naruto: Hey! Saw what happened! Anything goin on between you two? Ya kept making googly eyes at each other.

Sai paused after reading before replying with;

Sai: I don't know.

Naruto didn't reply after that. But Sai did notice when Naruto pulled his phone from his pocket and hid it under the table as he texted. On the other side of the building, Kiba's phone buzzed in his pocket…
