The best parts of monthly visits in Konoha, In Kankurō’s humble opinion, were spars with Shino and teasing his sister about Shikamaru. After the losing all those years ago to the bug tamer he grew respect to his little insects and always seek the Aburame for duels.
„Looks like my sister is getting comfortable in Leaf after all” Kankurō smiled as he leaned against the tree. “Although I imagine she had some competition, your village has many pretty ladies.” Shino didn’t say anything but nodded with agreement. “You should tell me which one is yours so I don’t hit on her by accident” the sand ninja laughed but he didn’t mean what he said. He had no intention on dating any of those beautiful girls.
“I’m not dating anyone” Shino’s voice was even quieter than usually.
“What? Why?” Now Kankurō was surprised but also relieved because when he occasionally had a chance to see the other man he always noticed him becoming more handsome each time. He always admired his intellect and strength so it became their small ritual to spar each time Kankurō stayed at Leaf Village.
“Not many people would want to bond with someone like me” Shino was aware that for many people his clan’s ability to tame insects was ‘disturbing’ so it would take someone really brave to actually accept the fact that insects are part of him and give him a chance. He never even tried to approach anyone with the intent of potential romantic bonding but after growing up and watching his friends forming those connections he realized how lonely he is.
“There is no way” Kankurō was shocked, he of course had a first-hand experience with Shino’s insects and he assumed they could cause issues with dating but for sure there was a way right?
“So you never dated anyone?”
“No, I don’t think I would be a good person to date.” When Shino was younger and thought about dating he always imagined fake smiles and weird complements which did not appeal to him at all. Now when he thought about dating he still wasn’t sure if he would feel comfortable. Girls always expected compliments and silly gifts.
“Unless… I never took it under consideration” He continues his thought out laud. “When I thought about dating I always thought about dating a girl, maybe dating a man would be easier. No fake smiles and forced compliments, someone who would be straightforward …” He was so deep in his thoughts he forgot that Kankurō was sitting next to him.
“Listen, whoever it would be it should someone you trust” Kankurō interrupted because he felt something weird forming in his gut, excitement mixed with something else. He couldn’t imagine Shino with some random guy, he knew his strength but for some reason he wanted to protect him from getting his heart hurt.
“I trust you” Shino’s voice was emotionless and Kankurō wasn’t sure if he was serious or sarcastic. He looked at the other man but because the glasses he wasn’t able to read his expression. He could feel his pulse speeding up and how dry his mouth felt in a moment.
“Are you saying you would date me?” Kankurō wasn’t sure about dating especially that they both had obligations in their Villages. In Temari case it was easier as she is a diplomat but he is Kazekage’s personal bodyguard and it could be problematic dating someone from different Village.
“If you are interested I don’t see why not. Although I can see it could be difficult taking in the distance and your role as Kazekage’s bodyguard and me being heir of Aburame clan.” Kankurō sighed with relief because looks like they were on the same page in analysing the situation and possible difficulties.
“Exactly my thoughts. I don’t know about dating, I mean I would be honored but I leave tomorrow and I’m not sure when we will see each other again.” He faced the other man and reached for his hand. “But we can think in the meantime how to do it if you want….and for now I could…show you how it feels to be with someone intimately… we don’t have to do anything specific if you don’t want to…”
“I want to, at least to some extent… I don’t know if I like it or not” Shino off course knows how sex works or at least between man and woman but he is clueless when it comes to ‘feeling’ so Kankurō’s offer is very tempting. Especially that he knows he can stop at any moment and not be judged or laughed at.
“Let’s go then, I have a room in the nearby inn and we can talk more freely there.” Kankurō offered and got up from the grass. He didn’t mind having a casual sex with other men but he didn’t know how Shino would react to intimacy and the last thing he wanted was to hurt the other man physically or emotionally.
The first touch of Kankurō’s lips on his made his heart beat faster and his kikaichū hum under his skin. The sand ninja’s lips are warm and soft which surprised him because he expected them to be chapped from the sand and hot weather. He pressed his lips harder against the other’s man and could feel them curve into a smile.
“Is it okay? How does it feel?” Kankurō pulled away only just a bit but was still close if Shino wanted to kiss him.
“Hmm it’s nice but I need more data to decide” He said slowly as the humming under his skin increased. Kankurō seems to like the idea because he immediately pulled the other man into a kiss. He parted his lips and Shino followed him in the motion, his hand instinctively grasping at brown hair which earned him a gasp from the older ninja. Shino had no idea what he was doing, of course he had seen his friends kissing but he never delved into the concept himself. So far he enjoyed what Kankurō showed him but he knew there is more to it. The touch of the other man’s tongue sliding between his lips took him off guard and it almost ended in bloody mess. After the initial shock he allowed himself to relax more and Kankurō took the opportunity to explore his mouth freely.
“I must say I see the appeal of the idea of kissing” Shino gasped as they parted. His cheeks were burning and he could feel his body temperature rising as Kankurō’s hand slid up his back.
“Oh really? Do you want to continue or…” Kankurō watched Shino lick his lips and wanted to press his lips against his pale neck.
“Yes please continue” Shino had no idea kissing could put someone in such unstable state. He watched Kankurō move closer and gasped when he pressed his lips to where his pulse point was, he kissed and licked at the skin and Shino wasn’t sure if he can withstand it much longer. He pulled at Kankurō’s hair and the other man stopped immediately. He waited expecting Shino to say something but when he didn’t he moved his lips to the other man’s collarbone and started the same treatment he previously gave to the neck. The reaction was less intense so he continues with his exploration occasionally checking Shino’s expression for any indication of discomfort. They decided at the start he will let him know if anything Kankurō does makes him uncomfortable but so far the only sounds from Shino’s mouth where soft gasps and muffled moans when he tried to cover his mouth. Kankurō would love to hear more of them but if Shino wasn’t feeling comfortable to let go he would not insist. He moved his hands up Shino’s chest and pressed his thumbs against his nipples under the thin fabric. He continues the teasing as Shino’s moans grow lauder, he was finally letting go and it made Kankurō realize how hard his own member was. His attention was brought back by a soft sob and he stopped everything, he even holds up his breath for a moment.
“It’s too intense…” Shino’s voice was shaky as he tried to wiggle out of the older man’s hold. Kankurō let him but he held his hand loosely on Shino’s waist. He should know it would be easy to overwhelm someone who never had any intimate interactions and he cursed himself for being so hungry and pushy.
“I’m sorry I should know it could be too much” He said noticing the other covers his chest, confusion on his face.
“I just… I’m not sure if I liked that…the first touch felt nice but after a moment it was too much stimulation in one spot” Kankurō wasn’t sure if he is happy or disappointed that Shino can put together a coherent sentence. It was probably for the best at least he was able to get feedback on his actions and could easily adjust his next moves. After all the whole arrangement was for Shino to experience pleasure of being intimate with someone.
“Okay, that’s fine…” Kankurō was cut off by a sudden press of lips on his and smiled into the kiss. If Shino wanted to explore more and do more than just take and not give anything in return and it was more than fine with him. Shino eagerly explored his mouth and Kankurō could not stop his groans as the other man’s hands slid across his chest. For someone totally inexperienced Shino made up by being a quick learner, he mimicked what Kankurō previously done to him and listened to his reactions. He wasn’t sure what to do next and knew the other man will guide him if needed so he slipped his hands further under Kankurō’s shirt.
“Oi, Shino I thought we were focusing on you not me” Kankurō was almost out of breath when their lips parted. Shino’s lips were glistering and he almost immediately pressed them to the older male’s jaw.
“But I want to touch you, is it not part of the intimate encounter?”
“Yea. If it’s what you want to do right now.”
“Hm… I do but I’m finding myself not being sure what to do next, I want to keep touching you but I don’t know how.” If it was someone else Kankurō would probably lose his shit already but Shino’s curiosity and ability to keep clear head in this situation was kind of cute and made him want to somehow break the other man. In a good way, he wanted to watch him crumble under him.
“So do you want me to keep touching you so you can later take this experience and touch me?” He was very proud of himself to form such a smart sentence in this moment. He knew Shino will agree to learn more from him so he wasn’t surprised when the other pulled away and said ‘yes’. Shino didn’t move when Kankurō reached for his heavy coat to help him remove it but he didn’t make any move to stop him either.
“Do you want to remove your shirt or…” Kankurō offered as he noticed hesitation on the other man’s face. He never seen the insect tamer without the coat so he assumed he would not want to strip in front of him.
“Yes, it’s just the only people that seen me without most of the clothes are my family and closest friends when we visited onsen.” He said as he slowly pulled up his shirt and removed it. For Kankurō the time almost stopped at the slow peace, if not for Shino’s inexperience he would say the other was teasing him with how slowly he removed the garment. He watched as more of his skin was revealed and how pale it was. In few placed he could notice small scars most likely from the insects and that finally reminded him of them.
“Are your insects okay with this? I mean will they attack me if they feel threatened?” He almost got distracted as the other man took off his bandana and freed his hair. He remembered them to being brown and very bushy but now with age they lost some of the fluffiness to them.
Shino folded his shirt and together with his bandana put them on the side of the bed thinking about what the other asked.
“Your chakra is making them hungry and they would like to have some of it but they will not attack you as long I don’t feel threatened. They can sense I trust you.” As to emphasize it he lay down on the bed and waited for Kankurō’s next move. He watched him with interest from behind his glasses and wondered why the sand ninja even wanted to be intimate with him in the first place. He didn’t have to wait too long as Kankurō kneeled between his legs and placed both of his hands against his stomach. The older man could feel his muscles tense under his hands, which wasn't a good sign because he wanted Shino to relax. He moved his hands to the sides and Shino let out a quiet gasp.
“You like that?” He grinned happily as more gasps escaped the other man’s mouth.
“Yes, much better than touching my stomach” Shino had to admit he really enjoyed for the most part what the older man was doing and when he felt fingernails scraping along his sides the pleasure was so intense it forced a surprised moan out of him. He could feel his kikaichū buzzing restlessly under his skin so he grabbed Kankurō’s arm to stop him from repeating the motion. The sand ninja looked at his face wondering why he was stopped.
“I’m sorry; I was caught off guard by the intensity of what you did and my kikaichū got scared.”
“I see, would they calm down if I give them a tasty treat of my chakra?” He definitely didn’t want to sound like he wants to bribe the insects.
“Yes, actually they are already settling down but a small treat will help and they will be more cooperative in the future.” Shino sat on the mattress with his back to Kankurō’s chest as the older man wrapped his arms around him. He could feel his insects eagerly rushing to the source of chakra threads that connected to Shino’s own.
“They are kind of cute from afar” Kankurō giggled into Shino’s hair and licked at his ear. “You know we don’t have to continue today if you are overwhelmed or want to take it slow”.
“I appreciate it and indeed I feel overwhelmed. I did not expect it to be this intense and I assume further intercourse will be even more.”
“If you decide you want to do more than yes, you don’t know if you will even like it. I have something to discuss tomorrow morning but after that I’m free if you wish to continue.” Kankurō knew he have to be realistic and do not expect much. He wanted to have sex with Shino but if the other man will not like being touched intimately there is nothing he can do. He will take only what Shino is willing to share.
“I want. Can we stay like this for a little bit?” He was completely relaxed in Kankurō’s arms and his insects were happily buzzing from the chakra bribe.
“As long as you want” He didn’t know where it came from but he felt so peaceful having the bug tamer pressed against his chest. He nuzzled his face into his neck and only then he picked up on the faint scent of melon and grass. He smiled into Shino’s hair as the other man reached with his hand and tangled his fingers into Kankurō’s dishevelled hair.
