Naruto P.O.V // Time Skip

Three days have gone by since my little argument with Kiba and honestly things have been going very well in our lives. He kept his promise about giving me time and hasn't brought it up since then. However, I feel bad because I'm not sure I want to tell him anymore.

It involved so many things that involved his friends and it was clear to me that Kiba valued his friends very deeply. So, how will he take it when he finds out what I've done to Sai and Hinata?

Will he be forgiving, or will we fall back right into a fight like we always do? That's kind of what I was afraid of. Because at this point Kiba has been spending so much time with me that I've begone to fall for him even more.

The man I met here is still who he is, but me, the person who was never truly himself managed to have fallen in love, with a bad boy. Yet, he wasn't your average bad boy as he actually cares about me and wanted me to do better. He'd always accompany me to class now, even if he had to sit outside and wait for me, he'd cook whenever I was hungry and wanted instant ramen, he'd scold me for not helping him clean up the place, and he still offered to tutor me in Spanish and keep me preoccupied on my studies.

Which isn't as easy as it sounds as he is either fully naked, or not wearing any underwear. So the long pole pointing to the floor that just so happened to be connected to his hairy crotch, was a just as big distraction.

Though, I never complained about it.

It wasn't just the way he treated me either. It was how he behaved and looked, it all just suddenly became so fascinating to me. We'd often lock eyes and I'd have to look away as I began to get visibly flustered. I can't even begin to describe the thoughts I have of him whenever I see his hickies fading more and more from my skin. I wanted more of them, from him. I wanted his scent around me just like it was in my bed, his attention only towards me and his body pressed against mine. It was the only thing I could think of most of the time.

I don't believe he's noticed it and I'm glad he hasn't so that conversation can stay away from being brought up. However, I wished I knew how to handle this better, normally I'd ask Neji, but still no answer from him. All my calls go straight to voicemail again, but I still leave him messages, keeping him up to date on everything and how I'm feeling.

I figured calling TenTen, but that was no use as well as the two had a mutual mindset on a lot of things.

I felt familiar hands wrapped around my waist as I began to awaken. A smile crept up on my lips as I could feel a sense of clinginess just radiating from the man who held me every morning. He was naked, but also placed his underwear over his lap before laying next to me.

He still felt that I was uncomfortable with him being naked, which in the past I was, but now I wished I had kept my big mouth shut about it.

It turned in his embrace and faced him. He always had the cutest sleeping face that I've ever witnessed with his messy brown hair and stubble growing back from his often shaving routines. But, my favorite thing to see in the morning were his chapped lips, the way they pouted and separated as he slept the day away.

I always believed he slept so peacefully now than he did before, but I never figured out why I thought that.

Raising my hand, I brought it to his face and used my thumb to graze over his dry but soft lips. I was getting so flustered just touching them, but it's not like we haven't kissed before. So why was I feeling this way?

It's not the first I've done this, just staring at him while he slept. He's told me so much about himself but I just felt like I wanted to know am more about him, more like everything about him. The different scars that decorated his skin, the burdens on his mind and the pain in his heart. I wanted to know all that, and more about him.

I began to realize that while he did all this for me, us sharing a room, sleeping in the same bed, and occasionally kissing and flirting with each other. I never saw him as a friend or a lover.

We did things that classified as friends, but you don't kiss your friend, do you? I can't recall doing any of that with my friends, especially Neji. I always wished that he was here to help me with these thoughts, he always knew what to say. But, all I've been hearing from him lately are his voice mail recordings.

I don't know if he even listens to them, or even if he actually receives them.

"Hm?" Kiba hummed, scrunching his face most likely due to daylight creeping through the blinds. I panicked and didn't have time to move in a way that he wouldn't notice as he slowly began to wake up.

Without a second thought, I buried my face into the crook of his neck and pretended to be asleep. I felt him sigh heavily while moving a lot more. I wasn't going to lie this was a risky move, but maybe it'll give me a little in sight on just what kind of relationship we had.

"Hm, wake up Kit. It's morning." He whispered in a deep and husky voice.

"Huh? Really? Five more minutes?" I actually yawned.

"Fuck no. I told you not to stay up that late last night, and I really shouldn't have stayed up with you."

"I was finishing my homework for tonight's class. Besides you never had a problem when I did it before, why do you care if I do now?"

"Because back then I wasn't as involved with you as I am now."

"Involved? Involved how?" I urged, locking eyes with him as I removed my face from his neck. He looked even more appealing when he just woke up, but I had to compose myself. I wanted to know what he thought we were before even advancing further into anything that we might both regret.

"Pfft! Stop fucking around, blondie." He chuckled to my disappointment. "You don't have classes this morning, right?"

"No, only tonight, but it's only for a test so I should be finished a lot earlier than usual."

"Cool. Does that mean we get to spend the day together?"

"I-I'm not sure. What would we even spend the day as, hypothetically speaking."

"What?"

"Oh nothing at all. I just haven't hung out with a friend in quite sometime." I pointed out, hoping he'd agree or disagree about us being friends.

"Longer than a while cause Kankuro was never a friend to you." He replied, which didn't really answer my pressing question.

"Right..."

"You okay, Naruto? You're acting kind of stupid." He looked at me.

"I must still be tired." I lied.

"Do you want to rest up a bit more?" He asked, placing his hand on my forehead. "I'll make you some tea if you'd like."

"No thank you. I'll just watch some TV or something in the meantime." I replied, shaking his hand off and attempting to roll out of bed. However he grabbed me and looked me seriously in the eyes.

"Why are you acting distant all of a sudden?"

"What? I'm not acting distant."

"Yes you are, you're mood changed so suddenly and now you don't even wanna drink my tea or lay next to me."

"Kiba..."

"Yes?" He replied with a puzzled expression.

"It's fine. I'm just trying to figure out something that's on my mind."

"Do you need to talk to me about it?" He offered.

"No. It's nothing that you need to be concerned about, trust me." I lied.

It was a matter that concerned him, it was our matter.

Where do we stand in our relationship, and exactly what kind of relationship was this. This constant push and pull that I'd feel between us, I've never had this struggle when thinking about Sasuke as my boyfriend, or Neji as my best friend. The love I had for them was different and clear, but Kiba, I couldn't understand my intentions when it came to him.

Much less have any idea of what intentions or thoughts he had towards me. Seeking a better life for someone is a platonic friend's intention, but getting aroused and cuddling up naked with me isn't a very friendly action.

"Okay, if you say so, but I'll only let it slide on one condition."

"What's that?"

"You come out with me tonight."

"What?" I froze as he played with my fingers.

"You heard me. You've been doing a good job the past couple of days and I want to treat you for that. So what do you say?"

"I-I don't know. What kind of treat would it be?"

"Most likely dinner. I've been meaning to take you to Ichiraku for sometime now. Maybe tonight is the night we get to go."

"Like what?"

"What do you mean like what?"

"It's just you don't strike me as the type to buy someone dinner."

"So I can't take you out on a friendly date now?"

"Of course he'd find a way to confuse me even when he's confused. What the fuck is a 'friendly date'?" I thought to myself, mentally rolling my eyes.

"Kit?" He asked, pulling on my arm and rising from under the sheets to reveal his nude body in all its mesmerizing glory. Even when he wasn't horny his dick still remained hung between his toned legs.

"Um, yeah. We can definitely do that dinner."

"Do that dinner?" He chuckled. "Okay, do that dinner it is."

"Still wanna do that tea?" He teased.

"Haha I really can't stand you!" I yanked my hand away and walked to the bathroom.

"Hey! Let me get a quick shower in with you." He hurried behind me.

"Shower with me?" I watched him approaching me with two towels.

"Yeah, it'll save us both some hot water. You know it's getting closer to winter and I don't plan on freezing my dick off while you walk around with smooth skin, rosy cheeks and a fat ass."

"I-" I looked at him as he gave me one of the towels. "It obviously isn't working very well then because your dick is still big."

"So you've been watching me dick too?" He smirked.

"Huh? What no! That's not what I meant."

"Haha it's fine, Kit. Remember what I said, I won't cross any boundaries unless you want me too. No matter how tempted I am to try."

"Showering together seems like crossing a boundary."

"I'd say looking at me and getting hard would be one too and sleeping with me while I'm naked, but neither of us seem to be complaining about that."

I hid my face in embarrassment from his toothy grin as looked down on me. It's true that we were both gaining some pleasure or satisfaction from being this way with each other, but it was definitely affecting me a lot more than the horny bastard himself.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't get multiple erection from having him naked against or in front of me and even just from the images of him I'd conjure up in my mind. I've wanted to masturbate to him so badly, but I always chicken out. It didn't feel right for me to do that to a friend, if we were even friends, but we had to be because we couldn't be lovers.

"Don't even think for a second that I don't feel yours against mine when we sleep together." He smirked before entering the bathroom before me. I rolled my eyes at him as he walked in, but I was actually amused by his confession.

•••

We both entered the tub and turned on the hot water for the shower head. Kiba stood under it and groaned as the heated water covered him and streamed down his body while I shyly stood behind him. His pushed his hair back and caressed the front of his body, his back muscles flexing as I stared deeply at his tattoo which oddly enough I don't see very often.

It was like I stopped looking at the things I used to notice about him when we first met, and started to just notice him for who he is.

"You wanna go next? The water's nice and warm." He smirked, glancing behind him to catch me looking at him.

I moved forward and tried to go under the shower head, but having him in there with me made me realize just how small this tub was, definitely not made for two grown people to stand in. But before I could even interject Kiba held my wrist and guided me in front of him.

"It's kind of cramped but I don't want you falling in here." He said.

I gulped lightly and entered under the almost out of this world feeling of warm water running down my body. It felt so good that I instantly felt like I'd needed to take a nap after we were done. It was so captivating that I didn't even notice Kiba's hands on my waist, and I didn't really mind.

Under his touch was an even warmer sensation that I wanted to feel more of, so I leaned back into him.

After doing that my entire back was met with the comforting warm sensation of the water combined with Kiba's body heat. It reminded me of our moment in the club when I bent over in front of him, but this was a lot more intimate and attractive to me.

"Someone's loving the water." He whispered into my ear.

"Mhm." I managed to moan as his pubic hair rustled with my lower back and his dick glided between my buttcheeks.

I began to feel a knot in my stomach as the atmosphere got very dense. I found it hard to breath but my mind couldn't focus on anything besides the man I was pressing against. Every time I'd push back into him he'd move forward back into me slowly, rocking us both back forth.

This felt so right and so wrong to me, but I couldn't bring myself to stop at any point. Kiba made a trail of kisses from the back of my neck to the side, nibbling on it as I found out he likes to do. I brought his hands from my waist and to my upper body, placing them on my chest and giving him access to fiddle with my nipples.

He pinched and pulled against the sensitive skin, while quickening his pace. I could tell he was getting into as much as I was from that, and the fact that his dick was now nestled under my balls.

"You want me to soap you up?" He asked while nibbling my ear lightly.

"Y-Yes..."

He grabbed a bottle of body splash and turned the shower head off. I heard the cap click indicating he had opened it.

"Bend over a little?" He traced his finger down my spine, stopping at my tailbone.

I did as he requested and bend over a little bit, I felt absolutely nervous by doing this and had all right to be as I've never done this before. Every time like this I spend with Kiba was such a new thing to me.

Immediately I brought back to the task at hand as the cold bottled fluid touched my skin and began to slide down my back and between my butt. Kiba placed his hand at my tailbone and brought the fluid back up and spread it across my lower back and waist.

His hands went further up and lathered my whole back with soap, I could smell the sweet scent of cinnamon roaming around the room as he did this. Strong hands rubbing out any aches and pain that plagued me for the past few days as he massaged me. I didn't mind it though, actually it was very relaxing to experience this.

However, as he did this I suddenly missed the attention my backside was receiving from him and when I glanced behind me I noticed he was purposely trying to keep it from touch me. He was obviously hard and it would've touched me if only he moved a little closer, but I was too afraid to ask him that.

So, I bent over even more for him.

"Naruto?" He muttered as I felt his tip poking my taint, making me flinch from the new, but familiar feeling.

"Hmm?"

"I'm already finished with the back. You mind letting me lather your front?"

"O-Okay."

Kiba pulled me back into standing position and turned me around with a smirk on his face. I wanted to ask what it was for but judging by the situation we were in I could already tell what it was.

"I can't believe you bent over in front of him like that, and for what? Absolutely nothing!" I thought.

"You play too much, Kit." He smiled while lathering my stomach.

"Huh?"

"You keep teasing me like that and it won't do you any good if I give in and give you all this."

"I don't know what you're talking about." I diverted my eyes from him while pouting and acting oblivious.

"Hm," he chuckled, leaning in closer to me and pressing his lips against my ear. ",you don't have to know what I'm talking about because it's already between your thighs."

Kiba playfully pinched my nipples, causing me to jerk forward into him. Obviously he found it funny as he caught me and laughed lightly.

"I'm kidding, Kit." He purred. "I meant what I said about the boundaries thing, okay? Now just rinse yourself off so we can get out of here. While I get your towel-"

Kiba turned away, but I held onto his hand, stopping him. He turned and looked at me and his hand with a raised eyebrow. I'll admit that it was bold of me to do this, but I just felt like it.

"You haven't showered properly yet. How about I return the favor?"

"Hm, you don't have to ask me twice to touch me." He smirked. "Go ahead, touch all you want."

"Don't say it like that. You're blowing it out of proportion."

"There's something I'd like to blow alright." He teased.

"Maybe you can lather yourself-" I cringed, releasing his arm, but he quickly grabbed mine and pulled himself closer to me.

"Maybe you can lather me." He smiled. "I'm giving you my consent again."

I rolled my eyes at his suggestion, but part of me was intrigued to do it. I've touched his body before but to actually lather soap on him while we were completely naked was a different case. I've already bent over in front of him, and it was clear we both liked doing this, but what even were we?

"Whenever you're ready." He smirked, handing me my body wash, and placing his hands behind his head before looking at me with a smug grin.

I applied a generous amount into the palm of my hand and placed the bottle back down. The smell of 'soft cotton' traveled around us as I rubbed the gel together in my hands. But, I was too hesitant to proceed with it.

No matter how I wanted this, my mind always turned against it. Whether it was a matter that only seemed import to me, or a matter that questioned my loyalty to Sasuke. It always stopped me or delayed me from doing what I wanted to do. This must be a side effect of being me.

Never being able to do as I want without thinking about others and what they'd want, even when one of those others, is myself.

"Don't think too much about it." Kiba said.

When I looked up at him he looked at me with a serious expression. He must've seen the hesitation on my face while I was staring into space with my hands still lathering themselves.

"Huh?"

"I see the look on your face and I know what it's about, but don't think about too much."

"I... How did you know?"

"I've seen it for a while now. You're not exactly good at hiding things from me." He smiled after crossing his arms over his chest.

"Why haven't you said anything then?"

"Same reason you haven't asked."

"Huh?"

"We don't move like we used to, you know? You're a lot more bold and happy since these past few days. I can't even tell when last I've seen you frown, just that big smile of yours with crescent blue eyes."

"..."

"Yeah, you're kind of clingy, but I can't tell when last I've slept in my own bed. We seem to can't keep away from each other now, always in the same place, same bed, whether we're clothed or naked. We're always together."

"How does that make you feel?"

"It's hard for me to explain."

"But it's hard for me to understand..."

"Why's that?"

"Kiba, the way we are... it's not how friends are. We act like we're a couple, but we're not. But these feelings and actions," I trailed pointing out our current situation. ",they speak a different story."

"I just want to know..."

"Know what, Kit?"

"Are we friends, or are we something else?"

"What do you want to be?"

"Kiba, don't start with that." I sighed.

"I'm not starting anything. I don't want you acting like you need to be a certain way with me just because of our relationship. I want you to be free and selfish with your actions, Naruto."

"That still doesn't answer my question." I frowned.

Kiba walked up to me and leaned in. I figured he was going to whisper something in my ear, but instead he placed a kiss on my cheek before glancing at me with a smile.

"I'm sorry that, I can't be clear with you now, but maybe tonight I'll give you definite answer on our date. Sounds good?"

"Our friendly date?" I asked, feeling myself getting flustered again.

"Haha, yeah our friendly date."

Author P.O.V

Kiba and Naruto exited the bathroom after spending the next couple of minutes teasing and touching each other.

Naruto felt a bit more comfortable with the idea of him and Kiba being just whatever. He was aware that he had feelings for the brunette, but he also valued him as a friend. A mixture of two things that he's never really faced before. The only thing stopping him from pursuing it any further was his little secret he had no idea how to explain to Kiba, and of course his relationship with Sasuke.

Kiba, on the other hand, he was soaking up all the attention and bits of affection the blonde directed towards him. He was serious about giving him space and letting him decide what he wanted and how he wanted it. Also, he enjoyed seeing the blonde make his own decisions and encouraged him to continue.

Kiba was also aware of the blonde's feelings, but he didn't want to ruin it for him. So he pretended to be oblivious to the obvious crush he had on him.

The two sat on Naruto's bed while he studied for his test later, afterwards they played games and watched a movie. Naruto snuggled up next to Kiba on the couch and laid between the brunette's legs. His mind felt at ease, like nothing really mattered to him anymore. Things just felt simple and as they should be.

Though, he still couldn't knock a certain feeling, and as a result he had to question him and the brunette again.

"Kiba..."

"Hm?"

"How do you value your relationships?"

"My relationships?"

"Yeah, like your romantic and platonic ones."

"I don't really have a lot of experience when it comes to romantic relationships in comparison to sexual relationships. However if I were to be with someone romantically, they'd mean a lot more to me than just a cum dumpster." He breathed into the blonde's scalp, hugging him tighter.

Naruto felt light from hearing that. Like reassurance just showered over him in a way. It wasn't everyday Kiba talked or behaved like this and he absolutely loved it when he did. Having this type of affection displayed to him was also new, as Sasuke never really went this far with.

Naruto didn't even know what Sasuke looked like when he woke up, what his past was like, how he looked naked or even remember how his lips felt against his skin. Meanwhile with Kiba, he knew all those things about him and the brunette knew the same about him.

"What about platonic relationships?" Naruto smiled softly.

"Friends, they're everything to me. In the case where my family and lover has failed me, my friends were always there for me. They never left my side and I can never go against them. If anyone were to hurt them, I'd personally give that fucker what they deserve."

"Even on accident?" Naruto gulped.

"I don't care. They should've had the accident with someone else's friend, not mine."

"Oh."

"You okay? You tensed up."

"Yeah, it just had me thinking about Neji." He half lied.

"Haha with how much you call him, I'm not surprised."

"You knew about that?" Naruto asked, feeling embarrassed.

"Yeah, he's told me."

"What? You guys talk?"

"Yeah, but not too often he just calls to ensure we're doing good and whatever. Why do you seem so surprised?"

"Nothing, it's just he was kind of afraid of you at first."

"I understand that. But I guess like me he values you and your happiness as well. So we at least had that in common."

"Right..."

"You sure you're not just tired now, Kit? You can head to bed until it's time to get ready for your test if you'd like."

"Huh? Oh yeah, but I think I'll just rest here. If you don't mind."

"Why would I mind you sleeping in my arms?" Kiba smirked.

"Haha such a tease." Naruto chuckled, resting his head on the brunette's chest while closing his eyes.

His mind wasn't at ease now though. Apart from missing Neji, he wondered how the brunette will react when he finds out that not only does Neji and Naruto don't speak, but also what Naruto has been up too with his friends. No matter how much Kiba stroked his head, the bad feeling in his gut never went away.

He knew he'd eventually have to tell him, maybe not today, or tomorrow, but eventually. He tried his best to savor the moments he's spent with the brunette since the past few days. As it might be the last they'll ever be like this again.

•••

Naruto awoke late that night. Luckily this was a test that began at 10PM so he wasn't late as it was only 9PM.

"Oh! Thought I was late for a second." He yawned, glancing at the digital clock near the TV.

He woke up to his head rising and falling on a warm and lightly hairy surface. Looking up he was only inches away from the sleeping bad boy. If you had told him this would be his situation three months ago, he wouldn't have believed you.

But it appeared fate had a mysterious way of bringing two people together.

He smiled to himself as he watched the latter sleeping peacefully. There was nothing more he wanted to do than stay here with him for the rest of the day, but he knew he had a test and would get scolded by him if he even thought about skipping it. So he quietly got up from off him and went to get ready.

Few minutes later, Naruto had everything ready and managed to do it without waking the brunette. As he was about to leave he glanced at the sleeping log that had grown to be someone so important to him. He couldn't imagine what his life would've been like without him.

He figured he'd be on academic probation, or in jail because he attacked Kankuro, or in custody for almost getting attacked by Juugo. The point was, without Kiba his life would be different.

"Who knew a guy with dog breath could change my life like this." Naruto thought.

Naruto walked over the brunette and pursed his lips while staring at him. He could never get over how muscular and attractive he was and it always came to his mind whenever he saw him. Things like this really made him wonder how they could possibly be friends when he had feelings like this for him.

A part of him wanted to try things with him, but the other part latched on so much to the person that he wanted his parents and boyfriend to see. Was he really willing to risk all of that, just for a friend?

Naruto leaned closer to his face and traced his finger across his jawline. He was curious to see if the two could be more than friends. If that spark he felt days ago was just in the moment, or if it was meant to show him something else.

"Something I can help you with, Naruto?" Kiba smirked, glancing at the frightened blonde under his eyes.

"Kiba!?" He leaned back.

"You sound surprised like you didn't know I was there."

"I was just checking if you were asleep."

"No you weren't," Kiba sat up. ",you know exactly what you were doing."

"Kiba, I'm sorry! But, it's just I'm confused, ya know."

"About us?"

"Yeah, I didn't want to say anything, but I've been thinking about you differently. You're not the way you used to be when we first met. You're not even the person I assumed you were. Yet, you're so handsome, muscular, mature, honest, responsible and friendly."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Nothing! It's just I assumed you were a bad boy and you were trouble. But, I'm the troubled one while you're literally a saint. I'm a liar to everyone, including myself and I've messed up myself to the point that I can't even treat people right."

"I treated Juugo and Kankuro as friends, Neji as an enemy and now I can't even tell what we are."

"Kiba, what are we?"

"I can't tell you that, Naruto. It's not wise to judge anyone by their appearance, but you still shouldn't assume anything about them until you have proof."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm no saint, Naruto. Everyone makes their mistakes, even me. But I've learned to grow from it. I'm not perfect, but I'm better than who I used to be. You're in a confused stage of your life right now, you'll make mistakes too. I'm sure Neji knows that you meant no harm to him, and you've already learned your lesson with Kankuro."

"I don't feel like I've learned anything." He pouted.

"Haha you have, trust me. If you'd like I can talk to Neji for you."

"It's fine. It was my mistake I should take full responsibility for it," Naruto stood up and brushed his pants off. ", I should get going I have about fifteen minutes left until my test starts."

"I'll see you when I get back, Kiba."

"Naruto..." Kiba mumbled, holding on to the blonde's hand before he could even open the door. He pressed him against the door and made him face him. Leaning his head to the crock of the blonde's neck and breathing lightly in his exposed flesh.

"About our relationship, I don't want to cloud your mind, but we can discuss it when you get back. I understand what you mean as I can't really control myself either. There are things I imagine doing with you, but only if you allow me. So naturally I have to rub those thoughts out privately."

"Are you confessing that you beat your meat to me?"

"Is that a bad thing?"

"I wouldn't say it's good, but I'm not complaining if that's something you have to do to relieve yourself of any tension."

"So you did the same?"

"No, but it's not like I haven't thought about it."He admitted, not realizing what he had just confessed. ", I shouldn't have said that, my ba-"

"Good luck on your test, Kit." He finished, kissing the blonde's jawline and leaning back to look at the small smile that formed on his lips.

"I didn't give you permission to kiss me."

"I didn't give you permission to hesitate on beating your meat to me. I'm actually offended you didn't to be honest." Kiba pressed his hand against the doorframe, leaning towards the blonde with playfully smirk.

"Haha I'll consider it a friendly gesture." Naruto smiled, opening the door and walking out.

"Just how many things from me are you going to consider a friendly gesture." Kiba smirked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"We'll discuss that later." He winked. "Night Kiba."

"Haha, night you Little Fox."

•••

Naruto arrived at class and took his seat. This was one of the first tests he's ever been given to do since he began this new chapter of his young adult life. He wondered just how well he was going to do. A part of him wanted to pass, but the other wanted to fail.

He was still in a constant battle with himself over whether he should follow the life his parents wanted for him, or choose his own way of life. Something new with new people, new experiences and a new but true him. No longer pretending to be the perfect person to anyone, but only being who he truly was meant to be.

"Alright class. The assessment test is about to begin. Please be reminded that this test will determine whether or not your suitable enough to continue your current courses, work on being capable to stay within these courses, or choose a different course more suitable for you."

"What? This wasn't a test for the study of disease?" Naruto thought.

Naruto quickly pulled out his phone and checked his timetable. Apparently the test he had studied for was due tomorrow night at an earlier time. Which is why he assumed he had woken up late.

"Mr. Uzumaki! I'm glad to see your back in sessions but the no phones during a test policy still stands." Mrs. Sarutobi scolded.

"Oh! I'm terribly sorry ma'am. I was just confused about something for a second."

"Hm, well I hope you've figured it out now because we're about to begin." She smiled before placing a note on his desk and walking away.

Naruto looked at the paper suspiciously before looking back at the professor. He wasn't sure what it was about, but there was definitely something written on it. He took up the note and unfolded it quietly, immediately a smile spread across his face as he read its contents.

"Fuck it up, Kit."

Naruto folded the paper and shared a smile with professor before putting it away. He was happy that even though Kiba wasn't here he still found a way to make sure the blonde was confident enough to do what he had to do. It was something like that that really made him feel something for the brunette.

He had done all this for him absolutely free of charge, only thing he wanted was his happiness, nothing else in return. Just imagine a friend that supported you while also being attracted to you. That was Kiba, his friend. The guy who'd risk blue balls to ensure Naruto got the point to any message he was trying to teach him, any story he shared with him and any concerns he'd scold him for.

"Maybe tonight is the night that we change up some things in our relationship." Naruto smiled, finally realizing that starting something with Kiba was something he wanted to now. He wasn't hesitant or being selfless about this. It was his decision and that's what made it even better.

As the professor handed out the paper, Naruto glanced at the first question in the booklet. He still wasn't sure whether he wanted to pursue this or not, but that didn't stop him from smiling as no matter what he decided to do. He was confident that Kiba would support him either way.

An hour later back at the dorm, Kiba was stroking himself while watch pornography on the couch. He had a lot of pent up sexual frustration since he's been spending more time with Naruto and less time doing his usual practices. Just when he was about to get never his climax and finish his forth round a knock at the door interrupted him.

"Go away!" He growled.

"Kiba..." A soft voice sounded on the other side of the door. Kiba stroking and placed his dick side ways under his sweatpants as he washed his hands and made his way to the door. Upon opening with a confused expression he realized who he had thought he heard was actually true.

"Hinata?"

"You look surprised to see me."

"I am! I haven't seen you in quite sometime."

"Basically a week. You haven't seen anyone of us in a week."

"Right..." Kiba trailed, as she was indeed right. He didn't even notice that he had cut off his friends for so long during the time he was with Naruto. He didn't even explain to Hinata that he had moved back in with him, as she still had his stuff and Akamaru with her.

"Look Hinata, I supposed to tell you that I moved back in. I'm sorry that it completely slipped my mi-"

"What are you doing here, Kiba?" She interrupted.

"What do you mean?"

Hinata entered the dorm and closed the door behind her before leaning back against it. She inhaled deeply trying to keep her emotions under control as she knew this might be emotional for both of them and Kiba wasn't the best at being emotionally stable.

"You've been gone for basically a week and you haven't said a single word to me or the others. They've called you and even visited you, but the apartment always seemed empty."

"Hinata..."

"I'm not finished, Kiba." She stated. "Despite all that, we've still seen you around campus walking happily with, Naruto. I didn't want to believe it at first, because that didn't seem like you, but you know when you see something right in front of your own eyes. It's kinda hard not to believe it."

"Akamaru and I have been there in the apartment waiting for you to come back and all you've been here doing is chilling with him. What have you two even been doing in here?"

"I've been helping him out, Hinata." Kiba replied.

"With what?!"

"He's lost, Hinata! I've just been here helping him find his way."

"His way? You ditching your friends is his way? Not calling, texting or contacting us in anyway is his way? Leaving behind the poor dog that you rescued is his way?"

"I didn't leave Akamaru behind! I just wanted to make sure Naruto was behaving himself to take him back."

"Behaving himself? Is Naruto eight or eighteen?"

"Ugh! Hinata you wouldn't understand."

"Give me that dick big boy. I've been a bad bitch." The TV sounded. Doing nothing for the silence that had fallen between the two.

"You like him, don't you?" Hinata asked.

"What?"

"You like him. That's why you're doing this, you don't give a shit about anyone that isn't yourself, a dog, your friends or even your family. So when you meet someone you genuinely like you don't behave like yourself anymore." She concluded.

"Pfft, Hinata cut the crap. It's nothing like that happening between me and Naruto."

"That's what you said the first time when you were with Kank-"

"Don't say his name!" Kiba warned.

"Or what? You'll beat me like you did Juugo, or knock me over like Naruto did me?"

"What?"

"You heard me! This is exactly how you acted when you were with Kankuro. You completely forgot who your friends were and ditched us to go and be with him and look where it got you."

"That's not not what I'm talking about dammit!" He yelled. "You said said something about Naruto! What did that mean?"

"Nothing..."

"What do you mean nothing! You said Naruto knocked you over! What the fuck in that sounds like nothing!?"

"I wasn't going to tell you. It had slipped out on accident."

"Tell me what?"

"The other day I was talking to Sai. From what he told me your little crush may not be as innocent as he looks."

"Tell me what he did." He ordered. "And I want to know everything."

Naruto P.O.V

I finished my test and was packing my things before leaving the room. However, Mrs. Sarutobi stopped me on the way out.

"Naruto, may I have word with you?" She called.

"Sure thing. Is there a problem?"

"I've noticed a change in you and I must say that I'm happy to see you focusing on your studies, but if you don't mind me asking. Did Kiba inspire this change?"

"Well, I'd like to think that he has, but he'd probably say that it was my decision to allow him too."

"Haha, I'd say it has an effect on both of you."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I haven't seen Kiba near a classroom in almost two years." She smiled, leaning back in her chair.

"What? Is that because of his academic probation?"

"Oh! So you know about that? That proves my point from earlier then. Kiba, is a young man who doesn't really share much with people despite being incredibly social. Ever since his first academic probation he hasn't set foot near a single classroom, that is until you arrived."

"You think I'm making him come?"

"Yes, most definitely. Granted he isn't paying attention, but the fact that someone he just met from most likely the beginning of this term, means so much to him that he's back attending classes with you."

"It's only because we're learning to be good friends with each other. I guess we really have been opening up and changing each other since recently."

"Naruto, friends can only do so much. What you and Kiba have going on is something more."

"Something more like what?" He asked, hoping to get the opinion from someone else's point of view on their relationship.

"I can say, but I will say that my husband and I used to be friends. However, over time we grew to be something more." She replied, smiling at her wedding ring.

I knew exactly what she was implying and I honestly felt the same way. How couldn't I?

All these feelings, moments, energy and time I've spent with Kiba. It took a complete idiot not to realize what we had between us, and every passing minute that went by that we didn't talk about was a waste of something that could possibly be the cure that we both needed.

"I think I know what you mean Mrs. Sarutobi, and I think after tonight you'll see a completely new pair approaching you from now on."

"Is that so?" She smiled. "Well, I'm looking forward to seeing the growth from the two of you."

"I am too." I smiled.

While wishing each other good night and walking by myself on the campus. I couldn't help, but feel so excited to see him. The thought of Kiba waiting at the dorm for me with his arms welcoming me every time played on repeat with every step I took.

Before I knew it, walking turned into skipping, skipping turned into walking briskly and walking briskly turned into full blown running. Tonight was the night that I made a change on my own, a change that would begin the new life of Naruto Uzumaki.

I ran up the stairs of my building at full speed, flung the door open and locked eyes with Kiba as he sat on my bed with his arms folded over his chest, just like how I left him.

"Kiba!" I cheered, leaping myself to him and wrapping my arms around his shoulders. "The test was great and I'm ready to have that talk with you now!"

I was overflowing with joy, patiently waiting to feel his arms wrapped around me. I felt his hands glide down to my waist and squeeze me, but the hug never came after. Instead what I heard made all the feelings in my chest disperse and replaced by a heavy feeling.

"Hinata, came by earlier." I released him and backed away, looking at his face in shock as he glared at me with what I could only describe as pure anger.

"That's great. But I think I'd like to talk about just what the fuck you've been up too with my friends."
