Through The Veil

A/N: Reviews make me feel all warm inside.


Shikamaru paused to admire the interesting view through the bamboo window. His fingers trailed unseen paths across his chest as he contemplated his next move. As much as he liked the hungry glances he wasn't exhibitionist enough to enjoy showing his engorged length to everyone. Still, he didn't seem to be able to tear his eyes from the Inuzuka.

Kiba's hand worked leisurely up and down along his hardness. His hips moved smoothly matching his strokes. Shikamaru's fingers traveled to his nipple, he had to fight the urge to seize his own throbbing member. Kiba's moist lips parted and Shikamaru pinched his nipple as he heard the soft sigh of pleasure. He watched enraptured as Kiba's lips jutted out and his abdomen contracted making him lean forward. His cheeks were flushed by the approaching orgasm. Without warning Kiba's eyes snapped open and the slit pupils stared straight at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru's hand stopped teasing his nipple as Kiba's stare held him as prisoner. Then Kiba's lips curved into a mischievous smile, flashing his canines. Shikamaru smiled back at him, knowing it to be his cue to join in. Unwillingly he turned his gaze away from the naked Inuzuka and not caring about the ”shower before entering the springs” rule. He walked with brisk steps into the steamy arena. The air was moist and warm and it made Shikamaru's skin damp and sweaty, his hair flattened against his head and if he weren't so aroused he would have felt gross for not taking a shower.

Hot water enfolded Shikamaru's legs, his groin and then his torso as he slipped into the spring. He cupped his hands under the water and flushed his face. Then he felt the familiar body press against his back. This was the best birthday present. A warmth leaning against him, strong arms pulling him closer and soft lips brushing against his shoulder. He could feel the Inuzuka breath in his scent before sinking his teeth in the soft skin. Shikamaru tilted his head to give Kiba more access. He bent his arms back to feel the well formed sides of his partner.

"Hi there." Kiba whispered against his neck.

Shikamaru's hands traveled lower along Kiba's lean back, down to his buttocks. He pulled the man closer and felt his hard member against his hip. Kiba's hands were exploring his chest, impatiently sliding towards lower regions. His lips were nibbling up Shikamaru's neck and his hips moved rubbing his length against him. Then his arms wound tightly around Shikamaru and pulled him near the edge of the spring. Swiftly Shikamaru turned him around, pushing him to sit on his lap.

The Inuzuka leaned forward nibbing Shikamaru's jawline and pushing their arousals together. Kiba's hardness gave the long wanted friction for Shikamaru's shaft which jolted from the touch. Then Kiba pulled away. He looked deep into Shikamaru's eyes making him feel a bit nervous. There was something in Kiba's gaze that he couldn't quite catch. Somewhere behind the haze of lust was the joy of meeting his old friend; but there was something else as well. Something lurking deep enough not to be seen.

A lascivious smile crossed Kiba's lips before they attacked Shikamaru's mouth. His canine teeth nibbled and bit gently onto his lower lip. He sucked it in, earning a soft moan from Shikamaru. His hips rocked back and forth seductively rubbing their lengths together.

"Ah, hi Kiba."

Shikamaru reached a hand down Kiba's back while the other took their erections. His fingers found their target. They circled around the tight hole now and again pressing against it. Kiba's back arched and he barely managed to smother a moan.

Kiba's mouth came down to Shikamaru's. His lips worked hungrily, then his tongue pushed inside Shikamaru's mouth. It licked exploring every inch. Kiba's kiss was deep with lust and longing. Suddenly he pulled back. Shikamaru whimpered from frustration. He wanted to pull the dogboy back to his lap but Kiba had other plans. He pushed Shikamaru up enough for his arousal to surface. Then he lowered his head and kissed the tender skin on Shikamaru's inner thigh.

"You don't have to do this." Shikamaru whispered.

Kiba had always been terrible at oral and Shikamaru preferred to keep his mouth near his neck or abdomen. But Kiba had already made up his mind. Kiba's teeth bit gently on the skin, his tongue reached under his nuts before sucking one of them in his mouth. Shikamaru's eyes closed. His length gave an appreciative twitch willing the hot mouth to move up. Kiba nibbed and pulled gently at the loose skin. His tongue licked the base of the shaft.

"Ah" Shikamaru sighed drawing his hips back enjoying the tease.

The warm and slippery tongue traveled up along Shikamaru's throbbing member. It lapped over the sensitive vein, earning a low moan. Softly the tongue toured over the head of Shikamaru's erection, inspecting the thoroughly the wet slit. Shikamaru opened his eyes to make sure the one giving him such exquisite pleasure really was Kiba. He saw how the velvety softness devoured the tip of his length. His eyes closed and his back dipped back.

"Oh god!" he breathed, trying to keep his voice down.

The silky cavern sank lower, taking in more of Shikamaru's hardness. The wet hotness around him sent tremors all over his body. Kiba's skilful tongue worked, constantly drawing moans from Shikamaru. He bit his lip to smother the cries of pleasure and his breathing came in sharp and shallow gasps. He bucked his hips up, wanting Kiba to suck him faster. The tightness in his stomach told him he was near. He willed it not to crest but it was like trying to hold a wave surge at bay with his bare hands. He tried to hold it but as Kiba added more suction and moved his head up and down, it washed over him.

"Oh fuck! Ahh!" Shikamaru couldn't help but moan as he was pushed over the ecstatic edge.

Kiba swallowed Shikamaru's cum, licking his lips and toying with the oversensitive tip of Shikamaru's length. Basking in the post-orgasmic high Shikamaru slid back to the pool. He pulled Kiba close to him. He trailed the red markings running down Kiba's cheeks with his fingers. Something has definitely changed. He moisturized his lips with his tongue before pulling the Inuzuka into a heated kiss. His tongue brushed past Kiba's teeth, tasting himself.

Shikamaru's fingers wound around Kiba's arousal. It was hard. His touch made the other man shiver and move his hips alluringly. His other hand made its way down Kiba's back. He pulled the Inuzuka into his lap as his fingers found the tight ring of muscles and pushed against them. The hot water around them made it easier for his fingers to enter Kiba's passage. Kiba panted hard. He moved his hips driving Shikamaru's fingers deeper, making him stroke faster Kiba's teased flesh.

"Oh Shika-... Ah!" Kiba breathed.

Kiba's body tensed and Shikamaru could feel him to be near his completion. He turned around carrying Kiba with him, pushing his back against the edge of the spring. The water made Kiba so light in his arms that Shikamaru could lift his hips enough to lick his arousal. The Inuzuka contracted around his fingers and whispered something incoherent. Shikamaru lowered his head more and took Kiba's weeping length into his mouth. It was thick and hot. So full and ready to explode. He thrust his fingers deeper, wriggled them trying to find the right spot.

Shikamaru sucked Kiba moving his tongue along the rigid length making it even better. He glanced at the shivering man. Kiba's eyes were clouded by the pleasure and lust, he was biting the back of his hand, trying to keep his voice down. Finally Shikamaru's fingers found the tight bundle of nerves and Kiba's back arched, with his head almost falling into the water. His hips bucked up driving his length even deeper into Shikamaru's mouth. Into his throat.

"I can't... Ahhh!" Kiba moaned.

Kiba's body tensed, his back arching. He was holding his breath. Shikamaru quickened his pace, taking Kiba's harness as deep as he could. Then the Inuzuka convulsed. It was as though his abdomen had suddenly decided to bend him double as his thick salty cum spilled into Shikamaru's mouth. It ran down his throat making him swallow a few times involuntarely.

Kiba sat beside him. He was still panting heavily, trying to catch his breath. He snuggled close and leaned against Shikamaru's shoulder. Kiba was always cuddly after sex. Or something very close to sex. They had played with each other before but they had never gone all the way. Shikamaru twined his arms around Kiba. He had almost forgotten how fun it was to have the Inuzuka around.

"So... you're back from the special training." Shikamaru asked.

"Yeah, I came back yesterday." Kiba answered breathily.

"I noticed you've learned new techniques, so it wasn't a complete waste of time." Shikamaru smirked.

"Humph" Kiba glanced at him.

Something glinted in his eyes before his lips curved in a satisfied smile.

"Glad you liked it." he smirked, canines flashing.

"Where's Akamaru?"

"I had to leave him home. Can't see why but the manager won’t allow dogs in." Kiba leaned his head against Shikamaru's shoulder.

It was quite obvious why such a premier bathhouse wouldn't allow dogs. In a shinobi village nindogs and other animals shinobis used were given some privileges, but a fine establishment such as The Red Mountain had a strict policy. No animals of any kind were allowed.

"Anything new in your life?" Kiba's voice was a bit drowsy.

Yeah. The man I've lusted after for years is getting married. To a woman! And I never managed to say anything to him. I never even hinted to him about my feelings. And as if that wasn't enough I'm his fucking best man!

"No, nothing special." Shikamaru sighed.

"It's getting too hot, I'm going to take a shower." Kiba kissed him softly on his neck and sluggishly rose from the spring.

Shikamaru's eyes followed the Inuzuka. His back was well formed and muscular, but still slender and supple. Shikamaru's gaze fell lower. Kiba's tight ass rocked nicely as he vanished to the shower room. Shikamaru sighed. Kiba was a catch and he was lucky to have him as his playmate. Only one week before the wedding. Iruka told me to bring a date... Maybe I should ask Kiba.

Shikamaru had never been too open about his predilection but it wasn't something he tried to hide either. He didn’t't think it would matter to his parents as long as he was happy. Hell, his father could even be glad for him because men are seldom as scary and as commanding as women. The Inuzuka clan was famous about their easy-going lifestyle and Kiba had always been really open about his sexuality, so he would probably go gladly with him to Iruka's wedding.

Shikamaru grunted. Thinking about Iruka and his wedding had ruined his satisfied mood. The hot water around him was getting uncomfortable so he rose up and walked to the shower room. Kiba was almost done washing himself. By the time Shikamaru had watered himself and was pouring shampoo to his hand the Inuzuka was winding a towel around himself.

I have to hurry if I'm going to ask him. Shikamaru massaged the shampoo against his scull until the foam was thick and full. Then he soaped himself and rinsed the shampoo and soap away. With a few steps he was at the rack where his towel was hanging. He took the towel and rubbed it furiously against his hair before drying himself. He wound the towel around his waist and stepped into the dressing room. The air was steamy and moist.

Figures, he's already left. Shikamaru thought looking around the dressing room. He didn't want to visit Kiba at his home. The Inuzuka clan was so noisy and nosy, they wouldn't have enough privacy. But it couldn't be helped. He should have a date for the wedding and there was no one he would rather take than Kiba... or the groom. Shikamaru let out a long sigh and dried his back. Slowly he put his clothes on and walked out to the fresh evening air.

The night was clear. Shikamaru stared at the stars pondering what to do next.

"What took you so long?"

Shikamaru startled and turned to see Kiba lounging on the bench. He stood up and took few steps to close the distance between them. He hung his arm on Shikamaru's shoulder.

"So, want to grab a beer?" Kiba asked pushing Shikamaru towards the nearest bar.
