DAY 6 - Lights
He thought the decorating was over.
But Ino wanted nice lights on the trees and gutters!
Being up on the ladder leaning forward with a staple gun and cold hands didn't scare him, but the fact that said ladder was on a patch of ice did.
"Hey Ino! Y'got that extension cord?" Kiba called down to his girlfriend.
"Right here!" she bent down, picked the portable outlet off the snowy ground and held it up to him.
"No no, I'm gonna throw the plug down and you're gonna put it in!" Kiba explained, "Leave the outlet on the ground!"
"Alright! Toss it down!"
Kiba quickly made sure the string of lights were secure on the edge of the roof before he tossed down a green plug with two shiny prongs.
"Ooh! This is gonna look so pretty!" Ino squealed, putting one hand on the ladder to support herself as she crouched down to plug in the lights.
Oh, what a bad move that was.
The ladder skidded on the ice, Kiba lost his balance(dropping the staple gun) and plunged off the ladder. Of course, he had to subconsciously grab the strand of lights and pull them down with him. Ino would have normally ran in and tried to help Kiba but the ladder was kicked into her direction so she ran.
Kiba landed on his back in a big(but mostly frozen) snowbank.
"Kiba!" Ino shrieked, hopping over the fallen ladder And kneeling next to him.
"Damn it, I pulled 'em all off..." the brunette sat up and frustratedly threw the now tangled strand of lights to the side.
"Are you hurt?!" Ino put her hand on his back, "I'm so sorry! I didn't know the ladder would fall!"
"You did that?!"
"I'm sorry!"
Kiba rubbed his neck, "I'm not hurt, don't worry. I'm just covered in snow..."
Ino then found herself giggling at her boyfriend's snow caked leather jacket and knit hat.
She leaned over, brushed him off and kissed him quick before saying, "Good to hear! Now you can go put the lights back up!"
