We entered the amusement park and took in all the sites that it had to offer. It was absolutely magical looking with all the dazzling lights and loud energetic music booming throughout the crowds and crowds of people.

It was quite the turn out.

"Hey, there's a lot of people here. Was this something we didn't know about before?" Mom asked.

"Hm? Oh no, it's just that this particular fair is held once or twice a year to help raise money to contribute to Konoha." Kiba explained.

"Oh yeah! It's from the 'Willow of Fire' project." Naruko added.

"Willow of fire? Don't you mean will of fire?" Dad asked.

"Yes and no, it's actually the name of the project, Dad." She informed us. "We all know how Konoha was founded and what it's known for and it's history and this project helps keep that alive, and by that they mean it's greenery and lush vegetation."

"Wow! I see someone has been doing their homework." Dad smiled as he ruffled her hair.

"Enough with that. We should be celebrating, not talking about history, this isn't a museum." Menma groaned.

Though he was right and I didn't really want to hear more, I was just curious about something.

"How did Kankuro get tickets to this?" I asked a bit louder than I intended too as I was speaking to Kiba.

"Hm, Kankuro?" Menma asked. "What about him?"

Shit.

Kiba looked at me with wide eyes while the others looked at us in confusion. I didn't mean to make them hear, but the curiosity was picking at me for some reason.

However, thanks to Kiba he was able to give them an answer after clearing his throat.

"He's the friend I mentioned that gave us tickets haha." He replied.

"Oh really? Where did he get them from?" Menma asked.

Thank Kaguya that my brother was nosy just as I was.

That way I didn't have to pry for information that would make it seem like I was jealous.

Not jealous!

Definitely not jealous!

I don't even know why I'd use such a word, I'm simply curious.

"Ha, you know his family owns that funeral home so they are pretty well known and we're able to purchase a few tickets for us." He explained.

"Kankuro's family did that, for us?" Naruko asked.

"Yeah."

"Why?" She asked. "Wouldn't it make more sense for them to go? Why give it us, especially from him, I would understand if it was Gaara, but Kankuro? The only person he'd give those tickets too is probably Menma, Neji, Shikamaru and Shino."

THANK KAGUYA FOR MY NOSY SIBLINGS!

This was exactly what I wanted to know, well I did already know, but just how true was this whole him and Kankuro story.

I know it wouldn't be right to think he was lying, but can you blame me? He just pulled this him and Kankuro thing out of the blue all of a sudden.

Is Kankuro even really into guys?

Thinking about it now, I guess really haven't put much thought into it since he told me. This could just be a set up to make me jealous, even though I definitely wasn't jealous.

I was just curious, if this thing between him and Kankuro is actually factual. I mean, he said they're not even dating yet they're both experimenting on their sexuality together?

That doesn't make sense, then what will they do with each other if that's the case.

He has to be bluffing.

"Hm, well he gave me these tickets to cheer me up. So I had asked him if he could get me more so I could take you guys as a thank you for your great hospitality that you've given me." Kiba explained, earning satisfaction from the others, but I've heard it already so it didn't really affect me.

No, what I was more curious about was the actual relationship between him and Kankuro.

"That is so sweet! Thank you Kiba, and just so you know it isn't just hospitality you're a member of our family so you're always welcome to stay with us." Mom encouraged him.

I watched as Kiba's eyes seemed light up. He balled his fists as a shaky smile spread across his lips, I knew that he was trying to hide the emotions that were swirling inside him and hearing that from mom almost made them all rise to the surface.

"T-Thank you." He stuttered.

Would it be out of line for me to hold his hand as a way of comfort?

What am I thinking? In front of my family? Am I losing my senses?

"Maybe we should start the fun before-" I tried to change the subject. That was enough pressing Kiba for questions about all this.

However, once again faith had different plan. But just maybe this was to my liking as well.

"KIBA! MENMA!" A voiced pierced through the crowd, earning our attention.

I was confused at first when I saw who it was, but seeing him approach alongside Gaara, Temari and Shikamaru led me to believe that he could only be one person.

"KANKURO!" Menma called back as the two ran towards each other and engulfed each other in an exaggerated hug.

"This is the first time I've seen Menma so enthusiastic." Dad commented.

"Yeah, as best friends they're practically gay for each other." Naruko replied as she used her hand to cover her face from Menma creating a scene and also to avoid Temari's gaze who I remembered she didn't like.

However, all I could focus on was Kankuro. I hadn't really seen that much of him since the party so this was my first time seeing him up close and I must admit he was a looker.

He had brown hair with dark brown pupils, his eyes had a pop of purple eyeshadow as well which made my heart leap. If my parents saw that they'd be very suspicious.

But wait...

Why am I worried? It's not like they've proven to actually be what Kiba said they are. It was all a just show right?

I've got nothing to worry about.

However, if that's true. Why was Kiba looking so nervous?

Why was he looking to the ground and fiddling with his fingers? I've never seen him like this before.

"Kiba?" Kankuro called as he came over to us with Menma and the others followed behind them.

They greeted our parents and then the rest of us while Temari and Naruko slyly rolled their eyes at each other, to which both their boyfriends tried distracting them from each other.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr and Mrs Uzumaki." Gaara greeted as he wrapped his finger around Naruko's.

"It's great seeing you again Gaara. I hope you've been well?" Dad replied.

"Yes, just busy with school as always."

"Understandable, I hope Naruko is able to be understanding as well about that."

"Of course I am. Only a neanderthal woman would be upset about her boyfriend prioritizing his studies over her." Naruko replied, clearly throwing words to Temari who only chuckled in response.

"I should get us some treats until we're ready to pick a ride. Temari come with me." Shikamaru offered.

"I don't want too." She replied.

"I wasn't asking."

"Neither was I-" She tried, but was interrupted by Kiba clearing his throat.

"Actually before you go..." He stated as he looked at me and then at Kankuro.

The whole time Kankuro just stood there while I was next to Kiba. He didn't make any advances, he didn't even check to see if he was okay which I would've easily picked up on and I'm not even his boyfriend and I'd see that.

Crap! I was never his boyfriend. I keep mixing my words up.

"There is something I must tell you all, before we go forward."

What is he doing? Is he about to admit that he's lying?

I didn't expect him to give up so quickly.

"I don't want to continue on without you all knowing who I truly am."

Wait a minute.

This doesn't sound like he's owning up to anything.

ABORT THE MISSION RIGHT NOW YOU BASTARD.

Kiba looked at me one last time before he moved away from me and stood next to Kankuro. They stood in front of my parents and he held onto Kankuro's hand before mustering the courage to look them in the eyes.

This can't be what I think it is.

"Mr Uzumaki and Mrs Uzumaki, you think of me as a member of your family and for that I'm grateful, but before I bask in the opportunity to be apart of something good, I have to let you know just the kind of person I am."

"What do you mean Kiba?" Dad asked as him and mom looked at him in concern.

"This is Kankuro, the special friend I told you about who gave us these tickets. He's been a good friend of mine for a long time and just like you, I appreciate him and the others a lot, more than my own family, Naruto can vouch for me on that one." He added.

They looked at me, but I diverted my gaze elsewhere, feeling as though I wanted to run even though the spotlight was on me for a mere second.

"Hm, what does that mean now son?" Dad chuckled lightly as he looked at him with concern.

"Son?" Kiba mumbled under his breath, it appeared as if he had paused as he looked at my father. His eyes started to water but he quickly diverted his gaze and wiped them.

"Kiba..." Kankuro turned to him and placed his hand of his back, rubbing circles to try and calm him down.

He didn't have to touch him to calm him down.

"Kiba, are you okay?" Mom asked as she took a step further, causing Kiba to turn around quickly.

"Uh, yeah, but right now... I just want to finish what I had to say." He stated but it sounded more like he was asking.

"Sure sweetie, go ahead, we're listening." Mom replied as she look to dad who looked just as confused as she was.

"Kankuro isn't just a special friend to me from a friendly point of view."

"Kiba-" I tried, but my voice cracked from nervousness.

Kiba turned to me and gave me a small smile of reassurance. I don't know what he was reassuring me of, but it wasn't working. It was clear to me that he was serious now, but why was he going this far as to confess to my parents.

"It's okay, Naruto." He smiled.

"I don't think we fully understand what's happening here." Mom commented.

The atmosphere was so tense, it felt like among all the joy and easygoing people in the surrounding, we were trapped in a thick bubble that wasn't going to pop any time soon. I wanted to stop him, but I couldn't.

Why would I? What did this have to do with me?

Why was I so terrified? Why was I shaking in my place?

In the midst of it Gaara who stood in between me and Naruko placed his hand on my shoulder. I turned to him and he kept a serious face as he only looked towards Kiba, but he touch felt like he was reassuring me of something.

"Kankuro isn't just a special friend from a platonic standpoint, and this may come as a shock to you, but what we have is something special."

More special than we had, or was there nothing to begin with...

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Kankuro and I.... We are bicurious and what that means is we are figuring out our sexuality together."

"So you're saying that...you are..." Mom trailed.

"Yes, I'm interested in guys as I would be interested in girls."

There was shock on my parents faces. Yet all I could pay attention too was how tightly Kiba held on to Kankuro's hand, not even Gaara's hand seemed to be detected by my senses, it was like I had shit down for a moment.

Even in a situation like this where he spoke so confidently, he was still scared, but he still went through with it. I had my doubts and without even knowing it he proved me wrong.

He confessed to them. He confessed to all of them, something he wanted me to do, to be happy, but how could I be happy if those are the faces I'd be looking at?

The faces of shock, the faces of concern, the faces of confusion and the faces of disgust, from my own family and those considered to be my friends.

How could I be happy seeing faces like that, even if he stood next to me, confidently, and refusing to let go of my hand as we did this together.

"We should continue this conversation more privately..." Mom insisted.

"Preferably when we get back home." Dad added.

"Home?" He asked.

"Yes, it's late so will you be staying with us, or should we drop you home?"

Kiba looked at me and I didn't even know what my face looked like, but it couldn't have been anything good. He then diverted his eyes and looked back to my parents, it seemed like he was really thinking about it.

I can't blame myself, this wasn't exactly a joyful outcome.

"I think it's best if I head home. So you'd have enough time to think about it." Kiba replied as he lowered his head.

"Well, in that case we can talk about it right now." Dad stated before looking at the rest of us. "You all have fun, Kushina, Kiba and I will be right back."

The three quietly walked off to a more secluded place to talk. Every now and then Kiba would look behind him we'd lock eyes, he looked so apologetic and scared.

Was this what he wanted?

Why did he do this?

If this was his way of helping me move on...but move on from what? We were never together.

Did he do this to prove that I can be happy and be who I wanted to be with my family? Because this wasn't convincing me at all.

How could I be happy, if there was no evidence that they'd be happy for us being together?

How could I be happy if he wasn't happy?

How could he be happy if I wasn't happy?

How could I be happy?
