Seasons

Hinata loves winter. She loves the way the trees look coated in snow, and she loves the way she can just barely see Akamaru stalking through the white powder as he plays with Kiba.
What she loves most, however, is coming in from the cold and bundling up on the couch with Kiba, a blanket thrown around them as she drinks tea and lies in his arms. She will withstand any amount of cold and snow for those peaceful nights when it's only them and the heat of their bodies and the feel of his lips against her.

Kiba loves spring. He loves the way she works at her garden, bent over on the slightly muddy ground as she tries to make sure her gardenias are safe and planted just right. As she tends to the little patch behind their house as though it was a child that needed nurturing.
What he loves most, however, is when she's finished and comes back inside, her cheeks rosy from the still-cool wind and her fingers caked in dirt, and he hugs her tight and kisses her forehead and draws her a bath. She protests of course--she always does--but he knows she likes the attention as he washes her back and combs his fingers through her hair and kisses her neck as he sits in the water behind her.
That's all they really need.
