Naruto P.O.V

I woke up with a sticky feeling between my legs, soreness in my back and feeling absolutely rested and ready for the day. I didn't know if this was the post sex feeling in general or this was what happened after you have sex with someone who put their whole being into it.

I still shock myself with how well I perform with someone who has a size and the experience like Kiba.

He's gone hours with other people, but can hardly go the second round with me and I don't know if I should be proud or not.

"Morning!" Kiba whispered, kneeling in front of me and kissing my nose. "I made breakfast for all of us, but I'd suggest you get a bath before Neji wakes up because I may have gotten a little carried away last night with your skin."

"You're not the only one." I chuckled, pulling at his collar to see the reddest bite mark on his skin. "I'm sorry for biting you though."

"Are you kidding? That's what drained me out, you're lucky if you can even walk after you did that."

"You're lucky you even got to round two."

"Would've been a three if it didn't feel so good with you." He blushed. "Keep that up and I'll get you pregnant before winter break."

"You're wasting your condoms, Kiba haha."

"Just say the word and we'll use them, Kit. I give you permission to decorate my dick anyway you'd like."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, it is yours after all, remember?" He smirked, hinting to me telling him that his dick was mine from last night.

"You're unbearable sometimes." I laughed.

"You handled me pretty well, so I don't know about that. But remember your shower alright? Also you have a new photo to remember the second time we made love." He said, before handing me a photo and walking back the kitchen seemingly happy.

It was a photo of my sleeping in Kiba's arms while he smiled widely at the camera with his tongue out. I looked so at peace against his chest, it made my heart feel weak in the process.

I placed the photo back down and wrapped the towel around my waist again before heading to the bathroom. After getting in and taking my shower I realized I left clean underwear and clothes outside, but when I looked at the counter they were there. The thing was it wasn't even my shirt though and that definitely wasn't my underwear and I couldn't help but smile knowing fully well this was Kiba's doing.

I guess he had a thing for me wearing his clothes, not that I mind. It did have his addicting scent lingering within it and I loved it.

When I exited the bathroom he was sitting at the table with a smile on his face while staring at his plate, I sat in front of him and he didn't look at me, only kept smiling.

"Fetish huh?" I smirked.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Sure you don't, I'm just casually wearing your underwear not because you find it attractive."

"Haha well if that turns you on then you should be glad to know that I'm wearing yours, and trust me when I say it's not the clean one."

"That I-" I tried, not even finding the right words to say. "These ones better be clean."

"What if they aren't? What are you gonna do to me?" He dared, leaning towards me with seductive smile.

"OH MY KAGUYA! Can you two not be so horny while I'm pretending to sleep!?" Neji yelled from the couch, when he got up I noticed that apart from the hair style, Kiba also did his edges.

"Morning to you too, Nejiana Grande." Kiba teased.

"What? What does that mean, and why does my scalp feel so tight?" He asked, feeling his head and grabbing his ponytail. He then looked at me and Kiba, holding in our laughter before running to the bathroom.

"I gotta get your camera." Kiba laughed, grabbing my camera and running behind Neji.

"KIBA!" Neji yelled, then the sound of multiple photos being taken went off. I was practically rolling on the floor while the two of them ran around the dorm like two little kids.

This was a moment I'd never want to forget seeing my best friend and boyfriend getting along so well warmed my heart as Neji was never like this with Sasuke. The two disapproved of each other, well Sasuke did, Neji just didn't like him and made it very clear, but he only dealt with him because of me.

"Did I just call Kiba my boyfriend?" I thought catching wind of my thoughts. I looked at him while he was being pinned on the ground by Neji, he looked so happy and I did like him, but not like that. We were just acquaintances who cared for each other and slept together occasionally. However, that brought me back to Neji's statement from yesterday.

"What does Kiba feel towards me?"

"Come on Neji it's just a new style." He joked.

"I'll give you a new style and let's see how you like it!"

"Ah yeah, well how are you going to do that when you can't even hold me down." Kiba teased, which confused me and Neji at first.

"You are pinned down dip shit- Ah" Neji tried, but was easily thrown off and now pinned under Kiba.

"NARUTO GET HIM OFF ME!"

"Alright, alright! Come on Kiba, get off him." I laughed, while pulling him up.

"You wanna get under me too?"

"You know I'll only get on top of you." I smirked.

"I don't mind that."

"Would you two get off me now haha. I'm not a fucking bed and I'll beat the both of you if the slightest form of liquid touches me." Neji struggled.

We both laughed at his words, but it died down when we noticed the door was open and TenTen and Hinata stood there looking at all of oddly.

"We're in the wrong room." TenTen declared.

"This isn't the wrong ro-" Hinata said, trying to contain her laughter.

"No, no, this is the wrong room. If not then let's step back out and try again."

"Okay haha." Hinata laughed, shrugging at us as she went back outside with TenTen. We got off Neji and stood up waiting for the girls to come back.

"Hey guys! We came to check on you! What's up!" TenTen beamed as she opened the door while Hinata covered her mouth.

"Hey baby! We just got up! It's all good." Neji replied.

"Right..."

"Yeah..."

We stood there in silence watching the couple stare at each other before Neji eventually gave in with a sigh of laughter.

"I'll get the comb."

"You go do that haha." TenTen chuckled. "You look good though, kind like-"

"Nejiana Grande." Kiba chuckled, to which made us all bust into a fit of laughter

"Don't let me start with you underwear raider." Neji playfully pointed in Kiba's direction.

"What does that mean?" Hinata asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Nothing, just something I'm really excited to try." He replied while placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Hm." Hinata looked at both of us with an unreadable smile. She seemed a bit uneasy, which I could understand considering what happened yesterday, but wouldn't that be solved by now?

Oh! I completely forgot. I still haven't apologized to her or spoken to her directly. Even when she offered to watch Kiba while me and Neji went out, she never exactly said it to me.

I need to talk with her, and soon at that.

"Something smells good!" She beamed, her lavender eyes wondering over to the kitchen.

"Oh yeah! I made some breakfast for us. I ended up making more because I thought Neji might wanted more, but I guess he's on a diet." Kiba teased.

"I'm not the one with the beer belly, Inuzuka." Neji replied playfully while TenTen combed out his hair.

"I haven't drank alcohol since earlier this month haha, but your face seems a bit chubbier the last time I saw you."

"It's muscle gain, ever heard of it?"

"Of course I have, fatty."

"Hey! Don't start with my man, keep your attention on yours." TenTen replied, playfully swinging her comb side to side and gesturing towards me.

"I'm not his ma-" I tried, but Kiba already beat me to the punch. Which to my surprise wasn't what I was going to say at all.

"He's never left my radar." He smirked while looking at me with that same unreadable, but soft expression.

I smiled at him in response, never really thinking much of it because he was always playfully with me and everyone for that matter. Yet, I couldn't help but feel like there was something else he meant when he said that.

Looking over at Hinata, her gaze shifted between the two of us. When she locked eyes with me though, she looked away.

"I actually think I should get going. I'm waiting for Shino to get back and I don't want to leave Akamaru all alone." She denied his offer.

"Are you sure?" TenTen asked.

"Yeah, I'm not really that hungry either."

"Oh okay, I'll give you both some private time then. I should be back for my stuff later on."

"Thanks, and I'll keep everything organized for you."

"Thanks Hina!" TenTen smiled.

"No problem. I'll see you guys."

"Wait!" I stopped her before she walked out the door. "Let me follow you."

"Uh, that won't be necessary. It's just a simple walk-"

"I'm actually not asking, I'm insisting." I repeated.

This was probably going to be my only chance and I couldn't let the opportunity pass me. So no matter how the others looked at me, I needed to do it.

"Okay... If it's cool with Kiba." She replied, looking at the latter nervously.

"It's fine, as long as it's something he wants to do." Kiba replied.

I'm not sure why she felt like I need Kiba's approval to go with her, but I was hoping we could start a conversation on that as well.

Hinata and I exited the dorm and made our way up the hallway. It was quiet, mainly because I didn't know how to start the conversation, it wasn't like we were friends if I'm being honest.

"If you're going to apologize then just do it." She trailed. "The guilt is written all over your face."

"I guess I am easy to read ha." I chuckled nervously.

"You are." She said, leaning against the wall and staring at me in disapproval.

"Look, I'm sorry about all that's happened since I've been here. I didn't mean to attack you nor hurt you. I just wasn't thinking correctly and I acted irrationally."

"You're a sweet girl and I knew that when we first met, and even more now since your friends and cousins with two of my bestest friends ever. I was wrong for what I did and I know there's nothing in the world that could possibly take it away, but I'm willing to apologize to you every single day if that even comes close to it."

"I'm undoubtedly sorry for what I've done, Hinata."

She looked at me with teary eyes, rocking back and forth and biting on her inner lip. It seemed that I have struck an emotional cord within her through my apology, I didn't think I had that effect on people.

But, I hope it was enough to gain her forgiveness, if not, start the process of gaining it.

"You know.. I've dealt with a lot of stuff in my life, and I've learned to deal with them accordingly. Hiding my emotions like I'm not obligated to feel how I want to and acting as if everything is okay. To the point where I feed off other people's emotions and lives and become this, shield, when they didn't even ask me too."

"Yet, nobody has ever apologized to do and done it as sincerely as you do."

"Naruto, I'm not upset with you and I've forgiven you for the most part a long time ago. Shino, is the only one who's upset about this and wants me to be treated like a person and not a sponge, soaking up everyone's problems. But Kiba is a dear friend to me, one that's like the brother I never had, and I just want him to be happy for once in his life."

"But I thought you told him because you wanted him to stay away from me." I replied.

"No, I told him because I wanted him to be wary of you."

"Wary of me? But why?"

"It's not hard to get. You're clearly someone who hasn't figured yourself out and that'll cause a problem with people you associate yourself with. The ones who are above you and have a grasp of who they are and what they want out of life won't be affect by you, but the weaker ones will fall prey to you."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means Kiba isn't right himself. He knows who he is and what he wants, but what he wants isn't necessarily good for him, and I'm sure you were very close with one fucked up thing that he ever took into his life."

"Who? Kankuro?" I asked.

"You're a lot like him, or at least you used to be. But Kiba isn't some toy that you can just fuck with."

"Woah woah! I wasn't fucking with him. I know Kiba may have some anger issues but that doesn't mean I'll take advantage of that. Besides, he knows me a lot more than I know him. He even told me I remind him of his father at one point."

"He, told you about his father?"

"Yeah, he even took me to his favorite spot."

"..." She didn't reply, only staring at me like she was seeing right through me.

"Hinata?"

"Can I ask you something?" She asked, stil staring at me. "I want you to be completely honest with me, Naruto."

"Sure..."

"What are you feelings towards Kiba?"

"What?"

"You heard me."

"Uh, well I'm not sure. We've established that we're not friends but-"

"But you two fuck on the regular?"

"What! No, no, no it's not like that, we just started doing that."

"So you're using him!?" She yelled.

"What! Hinata, of course I'm not using him!" I defended myself. "We're both doing this for us, we do it for each other, I guess. It's hard to explain, but he gets me differently and I feel like I understand him differently. He's not the same Kiba, when I'm around him and he looks genuinely happy and I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the same way."

"Different is definitely a key word in how your thinking process works."

"I know that what I just said doesn't help explain anything, but just trust me when I say I have no bad intentions towards him."

"Do you know how he feels?"

"Hardly, he's not as open as I'd like him to be."

"Haha." She giggled, a light red blush forming above her skin. "You're way to oblivious to be a threat if I'm being honest."

"What do you mean ha?" I asked.

"Nothing Naruto." She smiled, holding down her giggles. "I thought that you were going to be a problem like Kankuro, but I guess I was wrong, you truly are different from him."

"Haha, thank you."

"No problem, by the way a word for the wise." She began, fixing my collar. "I'd suggest ending things with your boyfriend before Kiba knocks his face in and has his nose touching the back of his head."

"Haha why would Kiba do that?" I chuckled.

"I'd love to tell you, but I think it'll be better when you figure it out." She said opening her door and stepping inside.

"But wait, Hinata?"

"Hm?"

"About Kiba, you wouldn't happen to know what happened with his last relationship, would you?"

"With him and Kankuro? I do, but it's not my place to say. However, if you ask him I'm sure you two are on a different level of understanding for him to tell you."

"I kinda didn't want to bring up to him because he got so upset by Shino mentioning his name yesterday."

"Huh? Oh! That's not why he got upset Naruto!"

"Really? Then what was it?"

"Can't tell you that either. You'll have to ask him."

"Damn it! Okay, can you at least tell Shino I'm sorry on behalf of me and Kiba then? I saw him get hit and I feel bad about it."

"I'll pass on the message for a friend."

"We're friends now, huh?"

"Lucky for you TenTen had a lot of nice things to say. So yeah, we're friends now."

"So I'll be seeing you around then?"

"A lot more than you think."

"Huh?"

"You'll figure it out, Mr. Different." She chuckled before closing the door behind her. I was confused by everything she just said, as she didn't really give me any answers I could work with, only sending me to go ask Kiba. I figured that it made sense to do that, but I was just scared of what the outcome may be.

Hopefully it'll be something different though.

•••

Later that evening, we all gathered by the front gate to say our goodbyes to Neji and TenTen. I'll be honest, given the circumstances I'm actually glad I got the chance to see them and also get all the animosity towards Neji, Kiba and Hinata out of the way.

It was like the pressures of the world were off my back, but the healing scars remained. Meaning that the damage had been done, but the effects of it are slowly getting better.

The only thing really standing in my way now were Sasuke, and my parents.

Those pictures Kiba took of us really reminded me why I loved taking photos in the first place, and it was to capture the moment. I hid my camera and photo album from my parents without even giving them a chance to see that it was my passion. Fearing they'd disapprove of me being apart of something like that.

Just like Sasuke did. It was always easy for me to guess what they'd dislike based on Sasuke's response to it.

But here I was, with a guy who's upper body was decorated in tattoos, my best of both worlds best friend, his just as best girlfriend, a girl who's like a mother and her boyfriend who wanted to beat me with a fly swatter.

And I was happy about it.

"I'll admit!" Kiba began after breaking the hug with Neji. "You're a lot cooler now than when I first saw you in high school."

"Awe, wish I could say the same, man." Neji replied with a smirk.

"You're a little shit, you know that right." Kiba chuckled.

"The biggest one you can think of actually."

"Maybe that's why you take so many L's on console."

"Uh! We can have a rematch any day."

"Winter break then!"

"It's on!"

"Like doggy dong."

"Alright boys, don't start fighting over a game." TenTen stood in between, wrapping her arm around both their shoulders. "Besides I can beat both of you with one hand tied behind my back."

"We'll see about that!" They said in unison.

Hinata and I laughed at their antics while Shino stood under the tree and stayed to himself. I didn't get why he came in the first place if he was just going to be distant the whole time. Then I figured he must be doing it for Hinata.

"Does your boyfriend get along with Neji and TenTen this much?" Hinata asked with a smile on her face.

"Haha, hardly." I replied. "They're similar in behavior, but Neji has another side to him that you could say fits both sides of me, the real me, and the Fraud."

"Kiba does the same thing?" She asked.

"No." I replied while staring at him cackling with my friends. He seemed so happy and at peace, like he really enjoyed being around them. "He seems happy."

"So you see it too?"

"Hm?"

"I haven't seen Kiba this happy in a long time. Even around his friends he's so hardcore and distant, while still being what you consider a friend. He'd never betray any of us, but he's not this happy with us either, except me that is, but still."

"He hasn't? I find it hard to believe."

"How come?"

"Even before I got to know him he's always been so playful around me. A big tease too if I'm being honest."

"Hehe." She giggled softly. "Well I guess I have you to thank you for that change in him."

"I didn't do anything really. He's the one who's changed me. I don't think I'd be the person I am now without him."

"And who's that?"

"Me. Unapologetically myself. Someone who not even my boyfriend or parents knew or accepted. Kiba knew him, and went through hell to bring him back."

"He does that, always seeing the good in other people and bringing them out. I just hope he sees the good within himself sometimes too."

"What do you mean?"

"When you're so busy trying to fix other people, you don't really get the chance to fix yourself." She replied. "He's easily loyal to others, that he forgets not everyone will be loyal to him."

I looked over at Shino who had his gaze elsewhere. He seemed to be deep in thought, only briefly glancing back at Kiba. I wondered if he regretted the things he said to him, or did either of them even apologize to each other.

"Don't worry about it. Shino and Kiba are good friends, they've fought before and even though it wasn't as extreme as that, they'll make up eventually."

"How did you-"

"You wear your emotions on your face. It's funny because you think of yourself as a Fraud, but you're your own contradiction to that. Because your true feelings always find a way to break through."

I wondered just how true her statement was, if I was so easily figured out then how did the people who I lived with, and the man that I loved, not see it.

"Hey! Don't be a stranger now." TenTen ran over to us engulfing each of us in a hug. "Make sure you guys become friends, because Hinata you're definitely coming to my wedding."

"Is a specific time and date available haha?" Hinata chuckled, hugging her back.

"I'll text you the information on that when I get it myself." TenTen smiled, glancing at Neji.

"In due time, my little ruby." He winked, walking over to us and kissing her on the head.

"Whatever." She blushed. "Naruto you'll be coming back for winter break, right? Cause we have to go and have a road trip or something."

"I should be available haha. Hopefully my parents won't have anything planned."

"It's not about what they have planned, as long as your free it's all good."

"Then I'll definitely be available."

"Great! And also, bring these guys! Like all of them, the more the merrier."

"Haha alright TenTen, I'll keep it in mind."

"Shino don't stand over there and act all mysterious!" TenTen exclaimed, running over to Shino and pulling him into a surprising hug and even lifting him in the air.

We all laughed at the look on his face as TenTen twirled him around like a little child.

"Haha so I guess this is the beginning of a new chapter in your life." Neji asked, placing his arm over my shoulder. "Something happy and different, maybe?"

"I would say so haha."

"But I'd say is mostly everyone else's happy story." I said looking at him and Hinata. "I basically reunited long lost cousins."

"Haha as selfless as that is, Naruto. This isn't our story and something tells me that things get better from here on out."

"How so?"

"Take a look behind you." Neji replied before walking away with Hinata over to Shino and TenTen.

When I turned around I was immediately met with a familiar comforting chest, a goofy smirk and the soft stare of my favorite pair of eyes. The smell of cinnamon found their way back into my system and I couldn't help but smile seeing him glow under the rays of setting sun.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything." Kiba smiled, titling his head to the side playfully.

"I would've told you off already for it."

"Wow, is that the way you treat your ride?" He teased.

"Haha shush, you're gonna make them suspect some ya know."

"There's nothing left to suspect between us if I'm being honest." He replied.

"What do you mean by that now?"

"Nothing much, I'm already open like a porn magazine. It's just a matter of you taking the opportunity to see what's inside of me."

"Are you saying you want to be the bottom?"

"Haha that one actually got me, not that I'd be opposed to doing that for you." He chuckled, taking a hold of my hand.

"Really?"

"Yeah, if it's something you like then it's something we can try." He replied, while playing with my bangs.

"Wow, usually tops like to keep it that way."

"Well, I wanna experience everything and anything with you." He said, placing a kiss on my forehead.

My heart fluttered by his actions and for a moment I felt like everything had disappeared around us again.

"Besides, I still have the bigger dick in our relationship." He joked, pulling me back to reality as I pushed him playfully.

"Haha I'm kidding, Kit." He chuckled. "But I know you don't have classes tonight, and I was thinking about taking you somewhere."

"Another joyride around town?"

"Yeah, it's a place I promised to take you too, but never really got the chance. What do you say?"

"Is that even a question?"

"It would have to be if you declined my request."

"Haha well I accept mostly because I'm feeling empty and I feel like it'll involve food."

"You're right, and maybe after you're done filling your mouth. I can fill up your other hole." He whispered against my ear.

A shiver down my spine and a knowing smile crept on my face as I leaned into him. I didn't even care that we were in public and our friends stood watching us, this felt so right to me. Being in this situation with him felt like it was apart of my destiny.

"Ahem, we're still here." Neji interrupted us. We turned around to find them all staring at us with smiles on their faces, except Shino.

"Hope you're enjoying it." Kiba teased, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I am. I'm just hoping I get to see it more often."

"I'll try to make that happen." Kiba replied, looking down at me softly again. I swear it was like I was the most precious thing he could look at based on his gaze and I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the same way towards him.

The Sun was setting and the day was coming to an end, Neji and TenTen hugged us all one last time before jumping into their car and going about their journey once again. This was their second visit here and they made it under the circumstances of my safety and wellbeing, but I still can't even get a text back from my busy boyfriend. Sometimes I do feel bad for the things I'm doing, but at the same time, I can't blame myself.

Sasuke didn't treat me like a boyfriend anymore, unless it was in front of our families. Looking back at it, I doubted he even loved me, much less tolerate me. I won't stand here and say it was his neglect that made me cheat on him, but one hand can't clap when it comes a relationship.

"Hey Shino, I wanted to apologize about earlier." Kiba offered his out to Shino. I glimpsed back and noticed the surprised expression on the couple's faces.

"You're apologizing?" Shino asked, taking his hand in his.

"Yeah, I guess my anger got the best of me and I just didn't want things to get out of control."

"Oh, well, it's fine man." Shino replied. "The swatter wasn't even on, Hinata bought it, but I took out the batteries so she couldn't use it."

"I'm killing those bugs one way or another, Shino." Hinata added before folding her arms over her chest.

"Haha I was telling Naruto that you wouldn't hurt a fly. So bare with me if I was really surprised to see you jump out like that." Kiba chuckled.

"Oh, you talked to him about me?"

"Yeah, of course I did." Kiba replied.

"Woah Kiba, that's really unlike you." Hinata stated, but by that time my ear faded out their conversation and I just went back into my head, thinking about how nicely things seem to be going and wondering if it could get any better than this.

But I did just hear a small response from Kiba and for some reason I couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, well I guess I have someone to thank for that change too."

•••

Later that night Kiba and I went out the campus and traveled all the way into town to the location he talked about. It was the ramen store that he told me about the very first time he made some of his food.

We entered the building and the ambience wasn't anything spectacular, but you could feel this welcoming, cool and clean feeling radiating from the room. He casually spoke with the hostess who I soon find out is the daughter to the owner of this place.

"You sure do have a way of knowing a lot of people." I joked as we sat down at our table.

"Haha that sound like jealousy if you ask me."

"Ha, now why would I be jealous?"

"I'd ask the same thing." He replied smoothly as he looked up at me.

"Tease..." I trailed.

"Haha but if you must know. I actually worked here when I finished school."

"You did!?"

"Yeah, coming from a wealthy family I didn't want to take anything from them. So when I ran away after hearing what happened to my dad, I came here and asked if they had any available positions, and they gave me the job." He explained.

"Is that why you're so good at cooking?"

"Yes and no." He laughed. "The thing is, I got the job, but I was simply the janitor. So I'd clean up the restaurant, before, during and after hours. The only way I managed to learn anything about cooking was because the owner and his daughter taught me some things about it, sometimes I'd even end up serving guest and assisting the owner in the kitchen when we were short staffed."

"Wow! You did all of that at eighteen?"

"Haha yeah, I had a vision for myself that I really wanted to be something apart from what my family wanted me to be. It wasn't easy, but I think I'm still on the journey of getting there."

"What we're the struggles like?"

"Hm, I don't want to bore you with that story."

"Ah come on! It won't bore me, besides it'll keep us chatting until our food gets here."

"Haha I don't know. It might shock you."

"Everything you do or say shocks me." I replied sarcastically.

"Haha okay, okay. I'll tell you under one condition."

"And what would that be?"

"Kiss me, from where you're sitting." He dared.

"You say that like it's a hard thing to do." I replied, while leaning over the table and smiling at him as I got closer.

"Oh, I didn't know you were into public display of affection like that." He said, leaning towards me and connecting our lips for a quick peck, at least that's what I thought.

"No, no, let me get that tongue too." He pulled me back, flicking his tongue across my bottom lip and gripping my chin firmly. Giving him access to my mouth he wasted no time in exploring it's ever corner as he likes to do, savoring the feeling and taste of pure ecstasy that oozes from his very being.

It made me want more and wanted to do more with him. I grabbed on to his shirt and pulled him in harder into me, shamelessly licking at the roof of his mouth like a hungry animal.

What was happening to me was a different feeling that I've never experienced before, but I loved every bit of it.

He chuckled after we broke the kiss and I sat back down in my seat feeling flustered and exhausted. We didn't even care that a few people we're watching us, I enjoyed it, and from the looks of Kiba's jeans I knew he enjoyed just as much as I did.

"Yet you say I'm the tease." He smirked, while shifting in his seat.

"I don't know what you're talking about if I'm being honest."

"You'll find out later."

"What if I want to know now?" I dared.

"Kit, trust me when I say I'd fuck you right here on this table for the rest of my physical existence."

"I've never fucked in a restaurant before."

"Haha well there's a time and place for everything baby." He chuckled. "But a deal is a deal and I owe your little horny ass a story."

"So back when I ran away and before landing a job here, I was wandering the streets basically as a young adult, no high school certificate, no skills that could be proven on paper and honestly no idea where to even begin in a world that you have to be something you're not."

"I used to sleep on the cliff every night, sheltering myself and keeping a low profile. One day I came across these guys who looked pretty sketchy, but being the big guy I was at that time, I wasn't really intimidated. They were actually pimps harassing some guy over not paying for one of their clients, and that was the first time I've ever witnessed a murder."

"When they saw me they chased after me and tried to pin me down but I actually managed to put up a good fight. But inevitably, I was out numbered and weak from lack of a consistent diet so they pinned me down and held a gun to my head. The thing is, I wasn't scared, I'm still not afraid to this day.

"I wasn't afraid of losing anything or anyone. I was fine with whatever fate had in store for me, or at least I thought I was." He continued, taking a quick glance into my eyes.

"The guy in charge stepped in and immediately looked at me with a confused expression. He ordered his goons to release me and then asked me who my father was, I spat in his face and then he began to laugh, before striking me across the face, knocking me unconscious."

"When I woke up I was in a hotel and tied to a bed, shortly after the leader came back in and said he knew who my father was and what happened to him. I thought he was the cause of his death immediately, but it turned out he was actually my dad's partner."

"Dad was so miserable with his life that he somehow ended up being someone else in the shadows while being the owner of our family's company. He wanted to have the best of both worlds even though neither of them made him happy or was morally right, and when he couldn't take the pressures of it all, he ended it the only way he knew how. Leaving behind those who loved him, those who needed him and those who wanted to hate him, but couldn't bring myself too."

"Kiba..." I tried comforting him, caressing his knuckles as he smiled and began playing with my hand.

"I'm fine, trust me. But uh, the leader said that my dad had unfinished business that unfortunately I was going to have to take up. I had little to no knowledge of running the prostitution business so they gave me the position as one of their bouncers at the club that you and Kankuro came to that one time. I was doing a pretty good job, making money and building a lot more muscles, even getting the other two tattoos I have on my chest and v line."

"But I also developed a drinking habit, smoking habit, addiction to sex, my anger issues got worse and I became extremely violent at one point. Somewhere along the way I met Kankuro, he was dancing in the club and making a scene that just captured my eyes that night, I'd throw a few compliments in his direction and he'd give me a lap dance and we'd fool around a few times behind the club."

"He'd sneak me into the campus on my days off and we'd just chill and fuck in his room. That's when I met Hinata again, she had actually graduated and came to the institution and we rekindled our friendship and I told her everything that happened. She convinced me that I should get out of that company and just join the school since I was already falling for Kankuro and thought we were getting serious, and I did."

"I reported the goons, got them arrested, got their hotel shut down and my family threw me into college under a degree that I didn't want to pursue. If I'm being honest I only joined the institution to see Kankuro more often, but we all know how that turned out."

"Why'd it take you so long to leave then?"

"If I left they'd disown me and you know how much I love my family, but I have to love myself more. Doing absolutely nothing in college is my way of finding a middle ground. They've begged for me countless times, but it won't change the fact that I don't want to do what they want me too."

"Kiba... I still think you should give it a shot."

"What?"

"I'm sorry if I'm being insensitive but I just-"

"Don't apologize. Just tell me what it is you're talking about."

"... I just think that if you're unhappy with the course then you should get a new one instead of wasting away your college experience."

"Change it to what? There's nothing there that I have an interest in."

"Yeah, but you could try something and maybe who knows, you'll probably love it. You love cooking and cleaning so maybe you could find something that relates to that."

"Hm, can I ask you something Naruto?"

"Of course you can."

"What is your dream? Like your own personal dream, I see you have a camera and a photo book and I'm interested to know."

"Well, I like taking photos and capturing the moment. I guess my dream would to just live life to the fullest and experience everything."

"So would traveling be apart of that everything?"

"I guess so. It would be different seeing other places."

"And different is good?"

"Hm, in some cases, yeah." I nodded. "Why do you ask?"

"Future reference, you could say."

"You ask a lot weird things, ya know."

"I was a bouncer, I had to ask people weird things." He chuckled. "Aye our food is ready."

"Here are your orders, Kiba!" Ayame smiled as she placed our meals on the table.

"Thank you, Ayame. You're the best as usual."

"Haha no need to thank me. Besides the best one here should be your boyfriend over here, you two do make a really cute couple." She complimented us before walking away.

"Oh we're not really a-"

"Thanks Ayame!" Kiba replied, before looking at me with that same soft gaze. I wondered why he'd always interrupt me whenever I was about to correct someone about our relationship status, but then I realized I wouldn't have anything to tell them.

We weren't friends, friends with benefits, nor a couple. So what would I have possibly told them? That we're just Kiba and Naruto?

That would be weird, but why was I even nervous over people assuming we were boyfriends. I mean, we acted like we were together anyway and it would be easier to explain, but I just didn't see Kiba that way and I know for a fact he didn't see me like that either, especially after how Kankuro messed him up.

"Your food is getting cold." Kiba reached over and stroked my chin, giving me his signature goofy smile that made me laugh. "Something on your mind."

"Just thinking of you I guess. Something different you could say."

"Oh, well I guess that makes the both of us, and I gotta admit. I like the different thinking."

Around midnight we went back to our dorm, got undressed and was greeted by the big white ball of fluff that is Akamaru. He immediately jumped back into Kiba's bed and took advantage of the wide space, not intending to share.

I decided to take a shower and when I came back out Kiba was already naked in my bed, I expected him to be in the mood from our last make out session, but the type of mood he was in was one I wasn't expecting to see for a quite sometime.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Preparing myself."

"For what?"

"You said you wanted to top right?"

"I uh-"

"Don't back out now. Just come on and show me what you got, Kit."

"I don't know..." I replied nervously, suddenly feeling very nervous about doing this.

"You don't want to bust inside me and claim me, daddy?" He teased.

"Don't call me that haha."

"Haha well get over here and shut me up then." He smirked, lifting his legs in the air and holding them in place while waiting for me. "I'm getting wet!"

"Alright, alright, I'm coming haha. Don't wake Akamaru."

"Deal, I'll try not to moan at a frequency he can hear." He joked.

•••

The next morning I woke up to the smell of coffee, but an empty bed, the light from the Sun burned my eyes like a million little fireballs igniting at the same time.

It didn't last long though, as I woke up to a surprisingly pleasant sight. Kiba sat around the table taking sips of his hot beverage, Akamaru laying in his lap, and his whole attention was fixated on a book that seems to about hospitality.

"Hm, good morning." I yawned while sitting up and scratching my scalp.

"Morning handsome." He cooed.

"Is there a reason as to why you're up before me and reading a book about hospitality?"

"You fucked me so hard last night that I had to take a shower and walk off my limp after you passed out." He responded.

"Oh my Kaguya! I did that? I'm so sorry."

"Haha it's fine. I liked it, I'll be returning the favor next time though."

"I get the feeling that I've lost top privileges."

"For now? Yes, most definitely."

"Haha you still haven't told me why you're reading that book though."

"Because I dropped my course."

"You did?"

"Yup, just walked up to Ms. Senju's office and told her what I had in mind. It wasn't easy and she really wanted me to just get out of her school, but I convinced her that I'd work for this one because I had different priorities in mind."

"Different priorities?"

"Yeah, I've always wanted to see different parts of the world, maybe even visit places that I've only ever imagined. Hell, I've barely even seen most of this country much less the rest of the world.

"Same here."

"I know, that's why I was thinking that maybe one day you'll join me."

"Just us?"

"Akamaru can come too haha." He chuckled. "It'll surely be a great edition to your photo album, speaking of which I got you something while I was at the book store."

Kiba got up from the table, with Akamaru in his arms, placed him on the bed and reached under his pillow before walking over to me and sitting down on the bed. He handed me a book, well at least that's what it looked like on first glance, but it actually a photo album.

It was orange with images of a little fox running around in the brown forest, it felt like a richer and more sturdy fabric than what mine was made of, when I turned it around and read the message that was embroidered on the front cover, I almost started crying.

"Some people make life brighter. You made my life."

I look up at Kiba, speechless at the gift he's given me, not knowing what to say, what to do, only feeling like I was in pain. My heart clenched and I just felt like I wanted to hug him and never let him go.

What was this feeling?

"Open it." He said, and I felt even more pain in my chest, but also happiness oozing from my heart.

I opened the book and the first thing I saw broke me into tears of joy. It was a photo of our first time together at the lake, I was cradled in his arms asleep while he placed a kiss that I wish I could remember the feeling of.

"Sorry that I made this so emotional." He replied nervously, looking at me with the same soft gaze that melts my heart. "But I guess you can consider it a late birthday gif-"

He didn't even get to finish his statement as I launched forward and wrapped my arms around him, it was so simple, but meant so much to me. That was the effect that Kiba had on me, no matter what it was it always meant ten times more when it was him.

"Don't apologize for anything. I love it."

"Haha, and I love you, for loving it." He replied, wrapping arms around me firmly. I felt a sense of security and a purpose. It's like our relationship had gone from what it used to be and has blossomed into some, different.

And this was definitely, a good type of different.

•••

Kiba's backstory was fire. The ending to this chapter was the oil that ignited their unrequited love that Naruto is densely not understanding. But that just means more cute moments, that'll inevitably fly over his head.

But we know. So yeah, we know what's happening. We all know, not Naruto, but everyone else.

😉

I'm imagining the pimp leader to be Orochimaru and nobody can tell me otherwise. Also, the changes happening are really soothing and I love it.
