He was her first kiss.

It was a disaster.

After a day of sparring in the forest, hopping through trees, and playing keep away from one another, he was keeping away. With her bracelet in hand, he dove to the forest floor to attempt to hide. It was useless, of course, to her byakugan, but he kind of wanted her to catch him now.

So when he heard the light whistle of her falling through the trees to appear in front of him, he didn't make much effort to stop her. He turned on his heel to jump away, but she tackled him. They went tumbling several feet until they came to a stop, and she was straddling him, this time pinning him down.

What a fucking sight that was.

She was heaving deep breaths and his eyes, for the slightest second, dropped to her chest to watch it as it moved. But he was careful and made sure he returned his gaze immediately to her eyes, and thankfully they were closed. Her face relaxed, veins disappearing as she lowered her head. He was painfully aware that she had not unpinned his arms, and he made no move to get out of her grasp.

Maybe this was his chance. A foolish thought from none other than a fool.

He leaned up and slid his lips over hers. When she didn't pull away, his heart lifted. She even returned him, ever so slightly, before a gasp made its way into the kiss and she hopped off him.

"K-Kiba!" she huffed, eyes wide as she looked up at him, pushing her hair behind her ears in a panicked way. Her fingertips slid over her own lips as she stared, eyes seeming foggy as her breathing quickened.

Fuck.

"Sorry, Hina-damn! I'm sorry-" he stuttered, hopping to his feet as well. "I dunno-I dunno what came over me, I'm sorry-really, I am-"

"It's okay." She gulped, waving her hands in front of her face as the red receded from her cheeks. His only deepened.

"I'm an idiot, you know that, I-" He shoved the heels of his hands into his eyes. "I didn't mean to, I-"

"It's fine, Kiba. Really." She set a placating hand on his shoulder and he dropped his hands, looking down at her. "It…it was actually nice."

"It…was?" He gaped at her, the pink in her cheeks returning.

"I've never been kissed…" Her shy smile sent his heart into his throat.

"Oh…" Kiba's breath caught as he waited for her to continue. She squeezed his shoulder lightly before pulling away, averting her eyes.

"But we're teammates…I-I care deeply for you Kiba. But we should keep it that way."

Kiba was frozen. He wished she didn't say that. But he knew she would. He took a longing breath before nodding. "Right. You're right."

But you're so wrong…
