levyrasputin because she needs her ShinoTen.
He sighed tiredly as his army of bugs retracted back into the shadows of his jacket. Training was extra intense today, indicated by the sweat glistening on his brows. But that didn’t bother him much.
Fact 1: Shino rather enjoyed the hard training Kurenai had assigned his team.
With that in mind, he looked around the training grounds for said team only to find them gone, no doubt taking another break to explore the village. With a shrug he ignored their neglect for training. After all, neither of them were fighting in the Main Matches.
Fact 2: Though thoroughly disappointed that the rest of his team didn’t make it to the final rounds, Shino was a little envious of the free time they would have until the Exams were over.
His brows furrowed together for a moment as he took into consideration as all the pressure began to build. As the only member of his team that managed to make it this far in the tournament, they were counting on him to succeed.
Fact 3: Despite his outward appearance of indifference, Shino didn’t want to let his team down.
With a sigh, he recalled how excited Hinata and Kiba were when he had managed to win his preliminary match against the guy from Hidden Sound. After scanning the area to make sure he was alone, Shino allowed himself a small, invisible smile formed at the thought.
Fact 4: Deep down, he was happy for their unending support.
But despite all that, he still refused to show such emotions to anyone outside of his own clan of insect manipulators. He had seen what such emotions had done to his teammate every time Hinata would unintentionally ignore Kiba’s attempts.
Fact 5: because of that, the young Abuarme had made a vow to himself never to fall in love and to just accept whatever mate his clan would choose for him.
Of course, just because he refused to put his heart on the line like that didn’t mean that Shino was without emotions. Like everyone else in the world, the bug master could feel happiness and grief as well as anger and most of all, love. He frowned at the thought as sharp pang in his heart reminded the young Aburame heir of his one and only weakness.
Fact 6: Unbeknownst to anyone, Shino had been harboring a secret crush since his years in the Academy.
He wasn’t sure when the infatuation had begun, only that it remained still. It was because of his strange affections towards the unknowing kunoichi that the clan genius had pretended for years to be inadequate in math.
Fact 7: The girl of his dreams was an excellent mathematician and had tutored students in the subject until she graduated.
Lost in his thoughts, Shino didn’t notice Tenten searching through the brush for her stray weapons not too far away. While training with her teammate, the kunoichi had launched a barrage of shurikens with a little too much force.
Fact 8: Tenten was still a little angered that she had allowed Temari to eliminate her so easily during the prelims.
The results of such an attack was the sharp stars being launched with great speed a far distance when they were deflected by the Neji’s Kaiten. Noticing her unfocused attention, Neji had immediately stopped the training session.
Fact 9: His harsh reprimands still rung in the kunoichi’s ears like all the other words that had ever been spoken against her.
It was with that bitter memory in mind that Tenten had pushed away her doubts and continued her search for the lost weapons. She wanted to get back to training so that she could start to prove herself once again after her humiliating defeat at the hands of the girl from the Wind Country.
Fact 10: She took much pride in her skill and had been more effected than anyone else realized by that minor setback.
Even after the Hyuuga prodigy left her to train alone, Tenten vowed to continue on without him. Solo training sessions stretching into the long hours of the night were how things were before she had been assigned to a team and she was not afraid to return to such days.
Fact 11: After spending years in such a way as an orphan and ward of the village, it became an odd form of comfort for her.
It was because of her isolated tendencies that the kunoichi had neglected all other aspects of her life, including friends and love. But despite her efforts of keeping such human needs away, she still found small exceptions.
Fact 12: When she was younger, Tenten was able to find some joy in her tutoring job at the Academy.
A rustle from the clearing ahead of her broke through her quiet thoughts. Glancing through the trees for whatever could have made the noise that startled her, Tenten caught a glint of light reflecting off what appeared to be dark glasses. A smile formed on her lips as she saw the not so unfamiliar face before her.
Fact 13: After all, Tenten had been the young Shino Aburame’s math tutor for the majority of his Academy days.
He appeared to have changed little since she last saw him, looking as dark and mysterious as he had always appeared as he was bathed in the light of the morning sun. He seemed to her like an angel, fallen from heaven to grace the earth with his knowledge and beauty.
Fact 14: Ironically, Shino was thinking the same thing about the image of her he had in his mind.
Brushing those old memories away, the bug master returned to the day of training before him. He was about to resume his exercises when a small speck of dirt caught his eye. It was on the outer edge of his sunglasses and would have went unnoticed to anyone else, but the insect manipulator was accustomed to observing such tiny details.
Fact 15: Tenten observed that he regarded his insects with the same attention to small detail.
As he went to remove his shaded spectacles, Tenten watched curiously from where she stood behind the trunk of a nearby tree. Shino was already an attractive young man in her eyes, but the older girl couldn’t deny the anxious feeling growing in the pit of her stomach at this new prospect.
Fact 16: Most of the village had ever seen Shino’s eyes and Tenten was intrigued to see what he was hiding.
There was a bit of relief of pressure as the young insect master cleaned his glasses of the offending dirt. Tenten watched in awe as the once mysterious eyes sparkled in the sunlight.
Fact 17: His eyes were an amazing shade of hazel not unlike her own.
They were beautiful to say the least and made the young Aburame all the more handsome for it. Tenten were so mesmerized by them that she failed to notice that she had been spotted until Shino turned his entire body to face her. Shock was written on his face as well.
Fact 18: No one had ever snuck up and taken him off guard like that before.
But despite his alarm, Shino couldn’t help but be enamored by the kunoichi’s own beauty. Without the dark shading of his glasses to obscure his vision of the world, the bug master was finally able to see the true loveliness of his goddess.
Fact 19: He would gladly look upon her like this anytime.
Tenten was the first to recover from the shock as the young Aburame’s facial features visibly softened towards her. She could feel a light blush on her cheeks at the unexpected attention. Knowing no other way of escaping from such a situation she nodded in his direction and quietly left.
Fact 20: As she left the area, she vowed to herself to see those eyes again no matter what it took.
