Since that night, things between himself and Yukirama had tapered off to their previous normal. What little time they had together inbetween their respective missions was spent with further training, and any awkwardness over the kiss on either end was kept under strict wraps.

He’d opened his eyes, since then. Began to look around him when he was walking to and from home, or simply being led around by Master Gai. 

Never before had he paid attention to any couples. Now, they were all that caught his attention, studying how the men and women treated each other in public. 

Several times, Tenten caught him, with a mischievous look on her face, but she never pressed too deep. 

At night, he thinks. Imagines himself and Yukirama in the same positions, or sharing the same affections. The warm feeling always returns. 

But he has to plan this carefully. Tonight he is lucky, a cursory scan of the Uchiha District reveals only Yukirama is within its walls. Nothing against Sasuke, but this isn’t necessarily a discussion that should be had in his presence.
