Later that day at breakfast we had to explain to my parents that we'd be going over to Kiba's house today so that I'd be able to meet his family.
Normally they'd be against it, but seeing as Kiba performed his way into their hearts it was an indefinite yes and I had to admit I was impressed as they didn't like us spending time away from home unless it was for school.
Though, I bet if they knew I was gay they'd be hesitant about sending me with him.
Regardless of that, I picked up my belongings that I had gotten ready for when I was giving Kiba a taste of his own medicine and he gathered his things and we placed them downstairs for when we ready to leave.
I decided we wait a bit before leaving out, it was Saturday so my parents didn't have to leave out as early as they did for work and the house was crowded with people, compared to the last time I went over to Kiba's house where he was basically all alone.
I didn't want to rush and get him back in that environment, even if I was going to be there this time.
I wanted him to enjoy this moment with my family.
He seemed so happy as he sat on the couch with my brother and father playing games while Gaara, Mom and Naruko cheered them on. It was rather an adorable sight to see and for him, I wanted it to last a lifetime.
However, I wondered if they'd be this kind with Sasuke when I plan to introduce him to them.
"N-Naruto?" Hinata muttered as she appeared behind me. I didn't see her at first, but I guess that's a habit of mine.
Apparently she had liked me while we were in school, but eventually fell for Menma after I had completely been oblivious and uninterested in her and her very subtle advances. You could say she was the first person that tried to get to know me, I feel bad about it, but I'm happy she found someone else.
Even if it was my identical brother.
"Hinata? What's up? I didn't see you there."
"As usual." She smiled.
"Hm, sorry about that."
"It's fine. I was just wondering why you were over here by your lonesome."
"Oh, I was just thinking about something."
"Something troubling you?"
"No, it isn't that. Just something I've had on my mind for some time now."
"Is it about your relationship with Kiba?"
"Hm, what?" I asked in surprise.
"You two liking each other?" She continued while looking at me with a confused expression.
"Huh?" I almost yelled, but covered my mouth. I took her by her hand and lead her upstairs to where we could see the rest of them from the staircase.
"Naruto, what wrong?" She asked.
"You said Kiba and I liking each other. You meant that as friends right?" I asked, not wanting to jump to any conclusions.
"Hm? No that's not what I meant. Aren't you two dating?"
"Huh!? What would give you that idea, Hinata?"
"The way you two behave with each other. I saw you two the other day hugging in the detention room and leaving the compound together."
"How did you-" I attempted to ask but remembered that she was my literal stalker when we were together and add that to me being oblivious of her existence and it all makes complete sense.
"Naruto..."
"Look Hinata, he and I aren't together. What you saw was just two friends hanging out and I know it looks like something else, but we're just friends."
"But I saw you looking under his towel this morning."
Son of bitch...
"We we're just teasing each other. We're both guys so we play around sometimes." I explained, not really understanding it myself but hoping it worked. "It's nothing more than just that."
"So why did you come to school early everyday to kiss Sasuke in the boy's bathroom?" She asked plainly.
OH MY FUCKING KAGUYA! THIS GIRL KNEW WAY TOO MUCH SHIT!
"..." I was lost for words. I didn't know what to say, what could I even say?
Only Kaguya knows how much this girl has seen me doing.
"You're not very sneaky with your actions Naruto and just like Menma you're not a good liar." She continued as she crossed her arms over her chest.
My heart was racing. She had my secrets all laid out right in her mind and there was absolutely nothing I could do. I could try begging her to keep quiet, but what if she blackmailed me like Kiba did.
Well, he didn't but FOR FUCK SAKES!"
"Look Hinata, please I need you not to-"
"I'm not going to tell anyone. That type of thing is private and I understand that your family may not be aware of it, but as a friend of Kiba, Sakura, Naruko and your brother's girlfriend, I'm asking you to stop what you're doing with Sasuke, especially since you're with Kiba."
"You too, eh?"
"Me too?"
"Kiba wants me to do the same thing, but he's giving me time to find out if Sasuke is the right guy for me."
"I don't understand." She replied.
"What?"
"You and Kiba aren't together?"
"Why would you think that?"
"Because of the way you two act."
"We're just friend-"
"It's similar to how he behaved with Tamaki. I had only suspected it because of how secretive you two were and how you always run off with each other and for how long he's been on your case."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, before he started dating Tamaki they used to be friends, only after he teased her a lot and they fought because of it, nothing major like what the two of you have, but still. Kiba teases people that he likes, like that, not his friends. He's basically flirting with you and testing to see if you 'match his vibes' as he would say."
"But...Kiba isn't gay."
"Who said he was? I just said he's flirting with you, not labeling him. Besides there are plenty of other explanations as to why he's like that with you, he doesn't have to be just gay either."
"..."
"He's been my friend for a long time so I know his patterns, believe me, he had even liked me at one point."
"He did? Man does that guy have a specific type or does he just date anyone."
"Haha I guess he just follows his heart." She giggled.
"But I don't think it means Kiba likes me. Maybe I'm just a guy he's comfortable doing that stuff with, you know, an exception?"
"So how does that make you feel?"
"..."
"Do you feel aroused or attracted by him in anyway?" She asked.
"No..."
"Liar." She smiled.
"Okay, a little, but it isn't anything major, he's just hot that's all."
"Menma said the same thing about me, but here we are, three years and still going strong."
"..." I didn't how to respond to that, or anything for that matter. The idea of Kiba liking my like that wasn't something that I really thought about and if that was the case then this entire time when he was teasing me.
He might've just been flirting with me, possibly trying to see my reaction.
"Look Naruto, just give it a thought. Maybe the right guy you're looking for might be right in front of you and you're busy trying to win over the wrong guy, I would know." She advised as she gave me a small smile, indicating our little predicament.
"I'm sorry about that."
"It's fine. It took some time but I understood why it was like that, but I guess I was just looking at the brother that was meant for someone else."
"So you don't hate me? Or find me, disgusting?"
"For what?"
"You know..."
"For liking men? I can't hate you or find you disgusting for that. Besides, it's your life and your preference, the only thing I can do is respect your decision and as a possible future friend, support you through it."
"..."
"Naruto, if that's what's stopping then put it aside and just be yourself. I know it might not be easy, but you have a loving family that will support you through whatever it is. My father still hasn't talked to me properly since the day he saw Menma drop me home on Shikamaru's motorcycle."
"Shikamaru has a motorcycle? The guy that gets straight A's?"
"He did, until Menma crashed it while racing some drunk idiot."
"Yeah I remember when he sprained his arm."
"Haha he was so whiny about it too." She chuckled, making me laugh alongside her.
"See? It isn't so bad. Besides if your family doesn't accept you for who you are, which I highly doubt they wouldn't then at least you made your first step into making friends that would, including me and Kiba."
"Thanks Hinata."
"You're welcome. Hug?" She offered which I accepted, nestling my neck in the crook of her neck as she rubbed soothing circles into my back that gave a lot of reassurance. It wasn't enough to make me go and confess anything to my family.
But it was enough to make me test the waters with Kiba, to find out just what he really thought about me in that head of his.
Hinata and I went back downstairs and joined the other while they continued to cheer for them playing the games. Kiba glanced behind him as he locked eyes with me and I could swear he blushed as he smiled at me and I couldn't help but feel the same.
Just what was this feeling, and if Hinata was right, then how did I not notice it before.
Oh yeah, I really am dense.
