Best Friends

Shino was happy his two best friends had recognized they were in love.

He'd always thought of Hinata as a little sister.

He'd hated to see her mooning over Naruto for so long in the past.

But like a good big brother he'd kept his opinions to himself.

He approved of Kiba.

Kiba was strong and loving and loyal.

Most importantly he would be totally devoted to Hinata.

Almost as devoted to her as Shino was.

Just not in the same way.

In a boyfriend kind of way.

Not at all like Shino's brotherly affection toward her.

Right?
