Konoha Academy's Stay With Me |Naruto x Hinata|

29.) Small Miracles

When Kiba had asked me to come with him to the family Thanksgiving dinner there was no reason I shouldn't accept. The worst-case scenario was that Naruto was a grump. All that meant was that Kiba and I would hang out the entire time together until it was time to go. Never once had the idea that Sasuke would be here crossed my mind and as I stand on the front porch staring at Naruto dumbfounded I can't help but secretly wish I hadn't accepted the invitation.

"Well make him go away," Kiba growls insistently from my left, a dark look on his face that can only be interpreted as severe annoyance.

I bite my lip hard, bringing myself out of the shocked state of mind Naruto has put me in. I know Kiba is only being protective or at least for the most part that's the case. I realize quickly that it's my turn to be the rock in our relationship and the thought makes me slightly giddy. I cast a glance at Kiba before turning to Naruto. "We know you didn't mean to Naruto, it's okay. Can we have a moment though?"

Naruto nods and slips into the house after muttering I'm sorry once more, leaving Kiba and me on the front porch with the sun hanging low on the horizon. "On a scale of one to ten, how upset are you?" I ask Kiba returning my gaze to my now seething boyfriend.

Kiba walks over to the railing of the porch and leans up against it letting out a heavy sigh. "I didn't even want to come in the first place. Now, this," He grumbles, motioning towards the house in a quick wave.

I slowly walk towards him, my heels making a hollow thud with every step against the hardwood. I can't help the small smile that plays on my lips as I now stand in front of him. "It's not funny," He grumbles, crossing his arms defensively.

I rest my hands on his forearms and give him another small smile. "That's not why I'm smiling though. I find you extremely sexy when you get this worked up."

As the words leave my mouth I can't believe I actually told him exactly what I was thinking. The way his jaw clenches and his muscles harden every time he gets upset has started to kick my heart into overdrive. All I want to do when he gets that way is trail kisses down his jawline and for once that's exactly what I do.

Leaning into him I softly place a kiss below his ear and continue along his jaw slowly. My heart leaps in my chest at my bold move but quickly kicks into overdrive as Kiba slowly unfolds his arms and wraps them around me, pulling me even closer than I was before into his warmth.

His voice is soft but I'm hyper-aware of every movement and sound he's making now, so the low almost inaudible groan escaping his lips doesn't go unnoticed. When our lips finally meet the fire burning between us catches wind and his lips meet mine firmly.

I can feel his hand slowly slide up my back until his fingers nestle into the hair on the back of my head. The simple action causes my body to be engulfed in a tingling sensation that shoots from the souls of my feet to the crown of my head.

If it were up to me our kiss would continue on for at least a while longer, however, Kiba is the first to break our kiss and rests his forehead on mine.

He lets out a shaky breath along with a chuckle. "Sexy huh?" He asks, more rhetorically than directed at me. "How am I supposed to be angry after something like that?"

This time I know the question is directed at me and I smile because there is no way I can't after a moment like that. "Maybe that was the point," I muse out loud, more relaxed about everything than I was before.

We have shared many kisses but nothing quite like that. If I had to explain it in words it would be difficult. It's like being on a roller coaster and the feeling you get when you reach the top, teetering on the verge of plummeting towards the ground. The only thing was this felt amazing, not terrifying and I was now addicted to the feeling.

We stand there in each other's arms for a moment longer before I step out of Kiba's arms and give him a shy smile. "I don't know about you but all I'm going to be thinking about is that kiss," I admit my cheeks heating.

Kiba stares at me, his eyes intense and full of unspoken words I can't even fathom. "I know what you mean." He drawls, dark brown eyes never once leaving mine.

I can feel the sparks start to fly in the air between us and know that as much as I'd love to stay out here kissing Kiba there is a dinner we must attend. Forcing myself into unwanted actions I take Kiba's hand and lead him towards the door.

"You gonna be okay?" He asks suddenly, his voice quiet and unexpected. Am I going to be okay? When Naruto told us Sasuke was here I would have said no way, but now? Now I am far too distracted with thoughts of me and Kiba to even worry about the raven-haired boy inside the house.

I turn towards him biting my lower lip. "I'm actually okay with everything." Hoping that he believes me and maybe catches on to why that is.

Kiba nods as a half-cocked smile slides onto his face. "So about me being sexy."

I roll my eyes at this boy who has won me over and smack him on the arm before dragging him into the house. How I ever lived a life without him I will never know but I do know that life with him has been the best thing to ever happen to me. Regardless of the bumps along the way.
