The sun coming in through the window struck Kiba full in the face. They hadn't stopped to close the blinds the night before - hadn't been sober enough for it to occur to them, really. He stifled a groan, not wanting to wake Neji if he was still asleep. The older ninja had been considerably farther gone than Kiba had, and was probably going to be suffering a hell of a hangover.
That sun really just needed to die, though. Or something. Trying to block it with his hand didn't help enough, and now he was well and truly awake. He was used to getting up at dawn for his exercises, after all.
Sighing, he shifted himself carefully away from the warm body he could feel at his back. Neji didn't move, still out cold apparently. Kiba sat up and swung his legs off the bed, stretching and grimacing. His head was pounding, he hadn't drunk enough water the night before.
Coffee. They needed coffee. A lot of coffee. Glancing at Neji, Kiba briefly debated waiting for the other boy to wake up first, but finally decided against it. He'd slip out, get drinks for them both, and bring it back so it would be there when Neji woke.
At least he didn't have to make any real effort to get dressed. His clothes were rumpled to say the least, and he wrinkled his nose at the smell of them, but they would do until he got home. Dressing silently, he walked stealthily to the door and opened it, wondering where the best place to get coffee around here was.
It didn't take him long to find - the moment he opened the door the rich scent of well-brewed coffee hit him, and his nostrils flared as he sniffed the air. He looked from side to side in confusion, but it wasn't until it occurred to him to look down that he found the source of the appetizing scent.
Someone had left coffee in thermos mugs just outside their door. Mystified, Kiba picked one up and studied it. Who would do something like that? Was it safe to drink? They were inside Konoha, and he couldn't imagine an enemy ninja sneaking around leaving poisoned coffee for drunk shinobi in random hotels, but...
A marking on the thermos caught his eye, two little straight lines at a slight angle. It looked like it had been scratched into the surface with a kunai. Kiba blinked at it, then laughed softly as he figured it out. It was a 'tenten', the little hash marks used to change a letter to a different sound in hiragana. Picking up the other mug, he brought both back into the room and shut the door again.
