•••

Later that day I dug through mine and Kiba's closets, looking for anything that we both had. If I was going to do this as a sign to see just what was going on with the both of us then I had to go all out with it.

I placed the set of clothing on the bed and waited for Kiba to return, he'd arrive at any moment so I hurried to the bathroom to get ready.

After a few minutes he arrived and leaned against the door while I sat on my bed and Akamaru laid on his back in the couch. Kiba scanned the room before looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm guessing you and Akamaru decided to play tug of war with my clothes." He questioned.

"Of course not, babe. I just wanted to surprise you." I replied, emphasizing the 'babe' in my response.

"Babe?" He asked.

"Oh yeah! I just thought I'd call you that now, ya know? Hope you don't mind."

"Of course not, Kit." He smiled while looking at the ground. I figured it was working and that he was getting flustered, but he seemed more amused by it.

He walked inside the room and sat next to me before placing a kiss on my forehead and brushing my hair back. His scent was so comforting that it made me feel less nervous, I didn't even know I was feeling nervous in the first place.

"So what's the surprise you got for me, babe?" He smirked.

That was strange, was that how people who like you act or am I just overlooking something?

"Well, since this was our first time going out with you friends. I thought it would be a great idea to wear matching outfits since we're roommates."

"Hm, so you think we should match, but as roommates?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"Don't you think that'll give them the wrong idea, Kit?"

"What do you mean?"

"Normally couples and best friends match. So us dressing in similar outfits might give strangers and the other students a different idea than us being just roommates." He explained, leaning a little closer to me.

"Well..." I hesitated. "Well, I don't see anything wrong with that to begin with. Do you?"

"When have I ever given a fuck about what other people think?" He asked.

"You give a fuck about what I think."

"Cause I just like fucking with you." He smirked, pressing his lips gently against mine and warping his arm around my waist.

Automatically my hands ventured up his body and to his head, pulling him in closer to me and parting my lips to give him access to my inner cavern. He wasted no time using his tongue to trail the familiar corners and creases within me.

Kiba's hands caressed my side and slipped under my shirt and into my jeans. This turned into a difficult situation now, it was leading to a much welcomed grinding session, but we can't do it now or we'll be late, or best case scenario. We'd be so caught up in the moment that we'd have to cancel the whole thing.

As much as I'd love too, I couldn't allow that to happen. Going to this fair would mean a lot to him and it would mean a lot to me as well, being able to figure out if he's just as into me as everyone says he is, and if I can reciprocate the same feelings for him.

"Hm, Kiba?" I moaned, breaking the kiss and holding onto his arm that managed to grab hold of my bare ass.

"What? You want to take charge now too?" He smirked, licking his bottom lip seductively while staring at me with eyes filled with lust and something else.

"Haha no it's not that. It's just we have the fair and as much as I'd love to do this. We'll be late."

"You sure you don't want to finish what we started?" He asked.

"No, we shouldn't."

"Are you sure?" He asked again.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"You say you're good, but I haven't stopped feeling your pulsating dick under my palm." He smirked.

"He does that sometimes." I chuckled nervously looking off to the side.

"You're telling me? It's my mouth he's always in Kit. I'm used to what he does from time to time." He chuckled, before standing up. "But I respect your decision. I'll be jerking off in the shower so I'll be back shortly."

"Don't you think that's a little bit unfair?"

"What is?"

"Making me feel bad for not having sex with you?"

"It's not meant to make you feel bad, Kit. I wouldn't do that to you." He replied. "I'm just saying that if you ever change your mind and decide to walk in on me, you'll at least know what to expect."

"Fucking tease." I chuckled.

Few minutes later Kiba returned and got dressed in the outfit that I laid out. It definitely looked a lot better on him than it did on me.

We both sported matching white T-shirts with a black tank top underneath, dark blue skinny jeans with the ankles folded, and a pair of black sneakers with white designs. I purposely switched Kiba's shirt with mine as a way to just see him walking around with his chest printing out, but that's just my preference.

"Yet I'm the tease?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked, acting oblivious.

"Hm, forget it. Whatever makes you happy, Kit." He chuckled, ruffling his already messy hair. "You look great in my shirt by the way."

"Thank you, Kiba." I smiled.

"Huh? I'm not babe anymore? That was quick." He replied, pushing out his bottom lip as he stared at me.

"Haha, I'm sorry babe." I laughed.

"That's better." He chuckled, walking over to me and wrapping his arms around my waist before nestling his head in my hair and grabbing hood of my ass once more.

"Kiba..." I trailed.

"This is the only advantage of you wearing my shit. It hides all that ass you have in your jeans from all those perverts."

"Except one."

"I'm not the shameless one here remember. So me being your personal pervert isn't that bad."

"Haha would you shut up and get off me. We're gonna be late." I laughed, gently pushing him off of me.

"Fine." He sighed happily, turning around to his bed and pulling out his leather jacket. "Put this on."

"Isn't it a little too hot for this?"

"The temperature can change at anytime and Sakura loves blasting the air conditioning in her car." He explained. "Besides that, it's to help us sneak out Akamaru."

Kiba cradled the dog in his arms and playfully scratch his stomach. Akamaru thrashed around in his arms but for the most part stayed still for him to receive more belly rubs. I still can't help but stare at him whenever I see how delicate and sweet he is with Akamaru.

He really is well balanced whether it's good or bad.

Kiba placed Akamaru gently in my arms then took his jacket and threw it over him. Of course he shook his head until it fell off multiple times which I was expecting, that is until Kiba took him and not only did Akamaru place his head his chest, he also allowed the jacket to be thrown over him.

"Either he likes you more or he just prefers me throwing things on him." I suggested.

"Dogs still aren't fond of foxes Kit, but he still loves you." Kiba responded to which I rolled my eyes too before heading to the kitchen and collecting the food we made for his friends yesterday and then closing the door behind us.

•••

We made our way down to the campus and Kiba held Akamaru under his jacket with one arm, posing as if he just had it over his shoulder. For the most part he managed to stay quiet and Kiba held a straight face to keep any wandering eyes none the wiser.

His serious face was actually kind of cute, but I knew why he was doing it and that just made it a lot cuter to me.

While walking I noticed a few students looking our way, mostly at me actually. It's not the first I've gotten this much attention from them and I knew it was from me walking around with Kiba. It didn't take rocket science to know that anyone Kiba is seen hanging out with and they're none of his friends, with the exception of Ino at least.

They were intimate with him. And considering the fact that Kiba and I have been seen together on multiple occasions, on and off the campus, I was probably suspected more than anyone else.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I feel kind of tense now. What if all this was a mistake?

I could feel everyone's shifty eyes, almost like they were piercing into my soul. Scanning all my imperfections and making note of each and everyone of them.

What did they think of me?

What would my parents think of me?

What would Sasuke think of me?

The mere thought of them made me feel like stopping in my tracks and turning back around. This wasn't supposed to be happening, I wasn't supposed to be out here with some other guy, being unfaithful to my boyfriend and being someone else behind my parents back.

I should be studying, I should be a good boy, I should be perfect, I-

"Don't pay attention to them Kit." Kiba whispered as he gently took hold of my hand. "They're just jealous they can't be in your shoes right now, basking in the glory that is my presence."

"Cocky much." I replied, lowering my head slightly down to the ground to avoid the glared and grasping onto Kiba's hand tightly.

"Haha maybe, but if you ask me. I'd say I'm the lucky one to be walking next to someone as beautiful and spectacular as you." He revealed.

I raised my head and turned to look at him in surprise. It wasn't very often that he'd compliment me in such a sweet way. It made my face heat up and my lips threatened to smile. This twenty-one year old man who was portrayed to be this mysterious bad boy was actually the sweetest horny goofball I've ever met and I honestly wouldn't want it any other way.

"There's that face." He smiled. "Keep your head up, babe. Be proud of who you are, show them your strengths. Cause as long as I'm by your side, you'll never have to worry about your weaknesses."

"Kiba..." I smiled, averting my gaze from him and covering the grin that slipped through.

"That's not my name, babe." He teased, poking my scalp with his chin. "And look at me when I'm talking to you, babe."

"I don't have to do anything I don't want too remember, babe?" I smirked, looking up at him to see he had the same smirk before chuckling and shaking his head.

"I shouldn't have taught you shit."

"Really now haha." I laughed out loud.

"I should've made you submissive as fuck. Call me daddy and just drop on your knees when you see me coming from class." He joked.

"As if! I've never been submissive a day in my life."

"You wanna bet? Cause I'm sure you weren't like this when we met the second time."

"I was pretending." I replied playfully.

"Oh, so he does tell the truth." He teased.

"Kiba!" I laughed, pushing him gently. He held onto my hand and pulled me closer to him before swing his arm over my shoulder and leaning closer to my ear.

"I like seeing you happy Naruto." He whispered before kissing my ear lobe.

Now why did he have to go and do that? I'm not sure, but I certainly didn't mind the public display of affection. He really made all my anxieties just, disappear, just by his touch and his voice. I could feel my heart beating faster the more he behaved like this with me, was it trying to tell me something.

Something that I've been pining to find out for myself.

"Oi! Kiba, Naruto, over here!" Shino yelled, waving to us from the front gate, along with the others.

Now I came this far in my plan, but one thing that completely slipped me was that Kiba was friends with Shikamaru and Choji, two out of the three people I was sure didn't appreciate me hanging around him and would probably rather I step in front of an incoming katana, dipped in poison, and fresh of a burning flame.

Don't ask me why I made that so specific, the fact is, they hate me.

"Come on, Kit." Kiba smiled, jogging over to them with our fingers entwined. If it wasn't so cute I would've evaporated right then and there.

"Sup guys." Kiba greeted the group.

"We've been here." Shino shrugged.

"We thought you guys were going to be late, or cancel on us." Hinata replied, crossing her arms over her chest while standing next to him.

"Calm down Hinata. I would've told you guys beforehand. You know that's not my style." Kiba defended.

"Still, you need to inform people if you realize you'll be running late. Haven't I taught you anything?" She scolded.

"Let's just say I got caught up in something." He replied while shooting glances at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You know what." I replied.

"We didn't do anything."

"But you wanted too." He smirked.

"Fucking tease." Hinata and I said in unison, chuckling among ourselves.

"Look, just come on and put Akamaru in the car before you defile his ears any further." Hinata smiled, pulling Kiba to the pink car waiting for at the curbside.

This left me and Shino alone, until Ino, Rock Lee, a guy with red hair and a girl I'm guessing to be Sakura came over to us. I noticed Shikamaru and Choji as well standing next to a green car with little antlers on the front sides, they stood over there with who I figured was Kankuro's sister and a dark skinned girl with long crimson hair.

"Naruto! You look amazing, we're so glad you could make it!" Ino cheered before giving me a friendly hug.

I wasn't really expecting that, but I guess she's cool with me now.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." I smiled nervously, not really knowing what to say.

"Ino, cut it out. You're going to embarrass him." Shino scolded her.

"I'm just welcoming him into the group." She defended. "Can't blame a girl for making him feel comfortable."

"Making people comfortable through embarrassment is something I know only you can do." Sakura smirked.

"Gee, thanks best friend. What would I do without you." She glared.

"Naruto, it's great seeing you again." Rock Lee greeted, hugging me as well.

"Oh before I forget. Naruto, I'm not sure you know these guys, but, these are Gaara and Sakura. She's my best friend and he's basically Kankuro's brother, but don't worry he's not like him and we totally don't all blame him for anything." She introduced us.

"I feel like that greeting could've gone slightly better." Gaara replied.

"I feel like we should've just left her in the car." Sakura agreed.

"We still haven't figured out seating arrangements and Naruto is a new member of the group so I have to keep him throughly informed of what is what." Ino replied, defending herself confidently.

"Whatever, it's a pleasure to meet you again Naruto, on better this time, and just like what Ino unnecessarily said. No hard feelings." Sakura greeted before reaching her hand out to me which I reluctantly shook.

"Pleasure meeting you as well."

"Hey Naruto, I'm Gaara... Sorry you had to meet my brother before me." He smiled, putting two fingers in the air as greeting, which I found kind of funny but awkward.

"If I didn't know him well enough I would've been completely confused as to what you meant, but it's nice meet you as well." I chuckled.

"Haha glad you do. Over there is our sister by the way and her friend, Kauri. I'm not exactly sure why they're still talking to their boyfriends, but you'll meet them eventually." He advised me.

"Oh! It's fine, I understand that as couples they'll need their private time. Thank you for the introductions though, I'm glad to be here with you guys."

"Great! Now that we're all chummy we need to figure out seating arrangements. Because it's only two cars and so the backseat will end up being crowded in one of them, and it's an half hour drive." Ino informed us.

"Well, obviously Lee is riding with me, shotgun no questions asked and so is Ino. Choji is already riding with in Shikamaru's car." Sakura replied.

"Maybe Kauri and Temari could also come with us and you girls could-" Rock Lee tried.

"That'll fill Sakura's car and we can't organize it that way for obvious reasons." Shino pointed out.

"Oh yeah..." Rock Lee trailed, while looking at me.

At first I was confused at to what was happening but then I realized that it wouldn't work because they're car would be full and that would lead me to go with the other car with Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba and I, which would be a recipe for disaster.

Kiba already knew about the past I had with the two of them and even though they weren't as bitchy as Sai was, they still preferred to keep their distance from me. Having all for of us in the same space for half an hour would ruin the whole day as Kiba would try to fix something that might be too broken to repair. The time has been too long and the damage has already been done, not everyone gets their happy ending like would want, that was the reality sometimes.

"I'll ride with Sakura." I decided, breaking the silence that surrounded us. "I like your vibe and I think a car ride with you guys while be exciting."

"See? That's what being friendly gets you. Come on Naruto, let's get you more comfortable." Ino cheered, taking hold of my hand and pulling me over to the pink car.

Kiba and Hinata appeared to have been in an intense conversation as we approached them. He had a serious expression on his face as he stroked Akamaru gently, but when he saw me coming his expression softened a bit, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't crack a smile as well.

"Okay! So arrangements are still being worked out, but Naruto is riding with Sakura, and so are me and Rock Lee, that's four. Shikamaru and Choji will most likely be riding with their girlfriends, which is another four, so now it's up to you, Shino, Kiba, Gaara and Akamaru." Ino advised them.

"Well, Akamaru can just sit in someone's lap, maybe Gaara and Kiba can ride with you guys, while Shino, Akamaru and I-" Hinata tried.

"No, I'll ride with Shikamaru and so will Akamaru. You guys ride with Sakura." Kiba interrupted.

"What!?" Hinata and I said in unison.

"Great, I'll let them know." Ino replied, skipping off back to the others.

"Kiba, I thought you wanted to ride with Naruto." Hinata poked.

"I do, but I just think that it'll be easier for me to do it this way. Besides, I'll have him for the rest of the day, hopefully longer than that." He replied calmly.

"Are you sure? Cause I can just let everyone know you changed your mind." She asked, but it sounded more like she was trying to change his mind.

"Positive." He replied while looking at me.

"Alright, I'll just leave you two alone to talk with Akamaru then." She replied before politely excusing herself from the conversation.

"What was that all about?" I asked.

"Hinata has been keeping me up to date on what's been happening in the group. You already told me about your fall out with Shikamaru and Choji, and I'm guessing you've already realized Sai isn't with us." He began.

"Yeah."

"Well, I think I need to talk with them."

"Kiba, you really don't need to do that."

"I'm not asking for your confirmation. I'm doing this because I want you guys to work things outs, not even to be friends, but to just find a middle ground to work with. I hate seeing them avoid you like the plague and you retreating back into that mind of yours. You've made mistakes in the past when you were young and that's exactly what they were, mistakes. You didn't know any better and I don't think they understand that, we're all adults now."

"Talking can't fix everything, Kiba."

"Then I'll beat both of them." He joked.

"This isn't funny." I groaned.

"You're right, it'll be hilarious to us, one day. In the meantime..." He paused, pulling something from behind him and handing it to me. "Just make the best of the moments you have now."

"You brought my camera?" I asked, a small smile spreading on my face.

"Yup, and I expect to see at least three photos of us kissing by the end of the day, or I'm making taking different pictures of me inside you later." He teased.

"I can't exactly call that a punishment." I smirked.

"Fucking shameless." He chuckled, making me chuckle as well.

"So I'll see you in a bit?" I asked.

"You'll always be seeing me." He replied, leaning forward and kissing my forehead gently, then he began to trail kisses down my face as I laughed at each one, however, by the time he almost reached my lips Akamaru began licking our face excitedly.

"Haha alright boy, we'll get you out of the sun." Kiba chuckled.

"It's his first time being outside in months and he just wants to get out of the sun."

"He's high maintenance apparently. I guess that's what I get for feeding him cooked meat and spoiling him with toys."

"I'm glad you notice your the own spoiling him." I laughed as he walked away, placing his jacket on my shoulder.

"I spoil you too." He said while walking backwards.

"Really now?"

"Yeah, I say I'll give you the tip, but when I hear you begging for more I can't help but give in." He laughed before running away playfully.

I kind of miss him now that he's gone, which is so crazy considering the fact he's not really gone and I'll be seeing him very soon. What even was this feeling I was having at a time like this?

I walked back to the group and we all got in the respective vehicles. It was cramped in Sakura's car, but Ino reluctantly offered to sit in Gaara's lap, which the red head really didn't mind, especially when she was practically laying down on top of him.

Hinata sat in Shino's lap, but that was fine cause I knew they were dating.

It's kind of weird though because I could've sworn Rock Lee and Gaara were dating the first time I met them. Yet, he's sitting shotgun while holding Sakura's hand.

"I miss my baby already..." I mentally sighed, feeling lonely as the car began to move and we followed behind Shikamaru's car.

"My baby?" I chuckled.

•••

The car ride was really festive and had us laughing all throughout the journey. It was mainly Ino speaking about so many random things.

"I looked her in the face and said told her we don't sell black roses and she's going to tell me saw them online and wanted them immediately. So I'm like okay bitch, anyway I go around the back and get some of our withering roses and I just coated them in black paint."

"Ino I still can't believe you did that shit." Sakura chuckled.

"Let her finish haha." Shino laughed.

"And Naruto, I came back around and presented them to her wet and dripping with black paint and all, give them to her and this woman is going to let me know that it wasn't that hard to find them and I should learn not to lie. She gives me money that couldn't even purchase the regular roses and I decided I wanted to exploit her ass so I upped the price because as I said we don't sell black roses and they're very rare to find. She decided she wasn't going to pay, snatches the roses and began sprinting to the door."

"She stole them?" I asked, anticipating what was gonna happen next.

"Stole them? Bitch slipped in the puddle that leaked under her feet and hit her head on the counter." She finished. "Knocked out cold, I didn't even call the police. Just searched her pockets and took the right amount of money for the flowers and then went on my break."

"Hahah that's fucking insane."

"If you think that insane you should've been there to see this guy that liked me." She chuckled, getting ready to tell another story. "So one morning I was opening up on my own and I notice the roses at the front we're missing, I didn't think much of and opened up anyway, I walk in and immediately see this guy, with all his bare cheeked up ass on Friday evening on the counter, posing and everything."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Nothing, I didn't get a chance because as soon as he turn around his dick rolled off of him and fell on one of the thorns in the roses."

"Ouch." Gaara, Rock Lee, Shino and I groaned in unison.

"The tip?"

"The tip." She replied.

"That sucks for him."

"Yeah, he couldn't do anything with his dick for weeks and felt bad so I let him eat me out."

"What!?" Rock Lee exclaimed.

"PFFT HAHA I'M SORRY! I wasn't expecting that one." Hinata died of laughter.

"Classic Ino." Shino chuckled.

"Hey! I'm at one with my sexuality and I don't just go around sleeping with anyone, I have my choices and I've rejected guys countless times. More than I can count if I'm being honest." Ino revealed.

"Really? What's your body count?" Sakura asked.

"Overall, it's a six or seven."

"Really I thought it was more?"

"Yeah, but I don't count it unless it involves sex because me getting eaten out is a different story cause it would be roughly thirty."

"Thirty times!?" Hinata gasped.

"Yeah, some guys are cute, but that doesn't mean I want their dick in me, but if they want to take a taste then by all means." She boasted.

"You really are thinking like a man." Sakura sighed.

"Two can play the game, Sakura. Hasn't Lee taught you that?" Ino teased.

"Lee and I have actually decided to take things slow so we don't get to have all the fun you're having."

"That's right." Rock Lee agreed.

"That's cause Lee is a nice guy. If he hasn't done anything with Gaara then what would you expect?" Ino revealed.

"You just woke up and chose spill tea today, didn't you?" Gaara asked with a small smile.

"Haha no but for real though. You and Rock Lee dates for a short period of time cause Gaara was curious, what did you guys do in that time? Like what couple thing?" Ino asked.

"I don't think it's appropriate right now to say." Gaara blushed.

"Ouu, so who was the top?"

"Ino..." Sakura scolded.

"I'm kidding, don't worry about it. Besides I know Gaara definitely likes girls."

"How do you know?" I asked.

"I can feel it, right on the back of my left thigh." She revealed, making Hinata look at them before everyone began laughing in the car.

"I swear you're all just breaking Naruto out." Hinata chuckled.

"No, it's actually fine. I was scared that I wouldn't get along with you guys, but I'm actually really comfortable and cold." I replied, getting comfy in Kiba's jacket.

"What made you scared Naruto?" Sakura asked. "If you don't mind us asking."

"It's not from what I said, right?" Ino asked. "Cause I was just bitching around, kinda."

"Oh no, it's just three of you guys aren't really fond of me so I figured it be hard for me to be friends with the rest of you."

"Oh..." Sakura trailed.

Hinata diverted her gaze elsewhere, I understood why because of what Kiba told me. They must've made it very clear that they didn't like me, but it really means a lot that despite that they didn't allow it to create any animosity towards me.

"Well Naruto, if it makes you feel any better. It didn't stop Sai from coming to the fair, he's going, but he just won't be hanging around us." Ino advised me.

"So he'll be there, but alone?" I asked.

"Oh no, he'll be there with his boyfriend. They've been dating for three years now I think, but they've known each other longer than that because the guy is younger than Sai."

"How do you get this much information?" Shino asked.

"I'm an open book, write in me." She replied.

"That's a beautiful way to describe yourself, very flattering." Gaara teased.

"Are you being sarcastic?" Ino asked.

"You tell me?"

"How about I ask the thing poking my left thigh?" She teased.

"He'll be excited to see you." Gaara replied.

"They're definitely getting together by tomorrow." Sakura smirked.

"Normally I'd slap you for saying something like that, but Gaara's emo vibe, red hair and tattoos do peak my interest." Ino revealed.

"Shoot your shot!" Sakura cheered.

"I'd be glad for you to examine me further until I've surpassed your interest." Gaara replied.

"That's right bro!" Rock Lee cheered.

"As she should!" Shino encouraged.

It was fun to see such a different side of what society usually fit into certain boxes. These guys broke the mold of the cliques I had assigned them too when I first saw them, but I guess that was given.

Needless to say, I was beyond comfortable with these guys and I just hoped Kiba was having just as much fun as we were.

•••

We finally arrived this parking lot and the second we exited the car, I was hit with the saltiness of the oceanic water.

"Wow..." I managed to say as I turned around and was captured by the sight of the most massive fair I've ever witnessed. I could hardly tell what rides harbored within it, but the roller coaster and ferris wheel were the most apparent ones.

"Finally!" Rock Lee cheered.

Shikamaru parked his car next to Sakura's and they also began exiting the vehicle. But I noticed that when Kiba opened the door, he looked pissed off, well he looked more disappointed then anything, but he definitely wasn't happy and I just had a feeling I knew who cause it.

"It's beautiful! Just like what I remembered." Sakura said, before stretching her arms in the air.

"Well, let's go then. The fair isn't going to be here forever!" Ino exclaimed while running off with Gaara.

Everyone else ran behind them, except Kiba and I, he placed Akamaru on the ground and gestured for the dog to run off with the group before placing his hands in his pocket. I walked over to him and stood in front of him with a small smile.

"I'm guessing things didn't go according to plan."

"If it wasn't for Akamaru being there I would've knocked all his fucking teeth out." He spat.

"Kiba-"

"I know, you were right. I shouldn't have intervened, i guess some wounds are better left to time for them to heal, and talking at the wrong time does nothing but add fuel to the flame. Choji to me seems to be a lot more forgiving, but Shikamaru, he's not having none of it. What happened really upset him, and I think that this can only be solved, when the time is right." He explained.

"I don't blame them. When one of your best friends just up and decide to abandon you after all that you have been through together, it would break anyone. It would be selfish of me to ask them to forgive me for that, no matter if I was thinking straight or not."

"Hm, you've really grown in the past few months we've been together." He chuckled, placing his hand on my head.

"Don't say it like that." I chuckled, brushing his hand of my head. "Makes you sound way older than you actually are."

"You not into that, eh? Disappointment."

"Really? Would these pictures we took in Sakura's car make you feel better?" I smiled.

"Someone's socializing well. Then again, you spent half an hour with Ino. So of course you would." He chuckled before taking the photos from me and glancing over them. "You look happy."

"I am happy, but standing out here with you alone isn't going to make me happier." I replied.

"Oh shit, that hurts. Didn't realize I didn't make you that happy." He replied sarcastically.

"That's not what I meant."

"You didn't have to mean anything. I'm obviously boring."

"Kibaaa!" We said in unison as he mocked me.

"Haha I'm kidding! I get what you mean, now bring that cute ass over here and let's have fun together in there." He outstretched his arm, which I reluctantly took and he wrapped it around my waist.

While walking I noticed a car in the distance that caught my attention. I didn't know why, but it looked very familiar to me, yet, I couldn't quite put my finger on anything that reminded me of it.

"You know you can take my jacket off now, babe."

"Huh? Oh no! It's good, I'm actually still a bit chilly."

"Told you." He laughed, holding me even closer.

•••

When we got to the entrance we all had to join a line before entering, and it was packed with people.

Luckily the gang had held a spot for Kiba and I because we had taken our sweet time walking over there. I could see the smirk on Ino's face as she tucked her hair behind her ears while looking at Kiba's arm around my waist.

"Alright everyone I'll repeat this for the newcomers, if you're entering as just a couple please stand on the left. This year we wanted to accommodate you guys who help make it a possibility for us to operate this fair. Thank you for your cooperation and we hope you enjoy." The security at the gate yelled.

Immediately Temari, Kauri and Sakura grabbed their respective boyfriends and made their way over to the left line.

"I feel disrespected." Ino stared at them in surprise.

"Nobody said not to have a boyfriend, Ino." Sakura teased. "We'll see you inside though."

"Like hell you will." Ino replied, turning to Gaara and grabbing him by his hand.

"What are you doing?" Gaara asked.

"You're going to be my boyfriend today, got it!" She informed him.

"Keep holding my hand like this and you'll have me for more than just today." He teased.

"Oh, well then. I guess we have our first date ahead of us." Ino replied, placing Gaara's arm around her waist and hugging his as well.

"You're smothering me." He smiled.

"Get used to it." She replied as they strolled over to the other line, which made us all laugh. During that laughter though I had accidentally locked eyes with Shikamaru who glared at me, I was hoping Kiba didn't see that and thankfully he didn't, but I just feel I deserved it.

"Naruto, Kiba, are you guys coming?" Hinata asked, as she and Shino also made their way over there, even Akamaru following them, but looking up at us as probably wondering the same thing.

"I don't know." Kiba began, scratching the back of his head. "I have no problem with lying, but I don't know if Naru-"

"We should." I interrupted him, curling my arm around his and entwining our fingers. He felt so hot almost as if he was getting flustered and I felt somewhat proud of myself I think.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah, babe." I replied with a smile.

I had to feel something by the end of this for him, our feelings towards each other had to be so simple for me to finally understand. Kiba didn't reply to my response though, he only smiled and leaned closer to me to kiss my temple.

Now that, definitely struck a cord in my heart.

"Ahhhhhh that's so cute!" Ino cheered, basically gaining the attention of everyone around us.

"Ino, would you pipe down?" Sakura shushed her.

"Sakura, would you pipe up?" Ino encouraged her.

"You're gonna get us too much attention."

"As we should, we're not hiding our relationships here. Are you a side piece or are you cheating on Rock Lee?" Ino asked. "Cause I know I'm neither of those to Gaara."

"I am not." Sakura replied, rolling her eyes playfully while nudging a blushing Rock Lee.

"Damn right." Ino smiled.

"Who said I wasn't cheating?" Gaara smirked.

"Huh?" Ino asked taking a dramatic step back and almost pushing Shino over.

"Shino!" Hinata panicked.

"Haha I'm kidding! I just wanted to see your reaction." Gaara laughed.

"Reaction seen. Don't do it again." Ino sighed in relief.

"Please don't." Hinata scolded the two.

"Hope they're not bumming you out." Kiba whispered against my hear.

"Are you kidding? I actually find them funny, they remind me of Neji and TenTen." I smiled fondly after looking up at him.

"So they all remind you of something that makes happy? I like that." He replied.

"They? You're apart of that too, ya know? Though you make me happy in a different way."

"Oh! And what way are we talking about so I can continue doing it even more?" He smirked, turning around so he was now standing directly in front of me and holding my chin, yes, in public.

"I-It's kind of hard to explain." I replied feeling as though my heart was about to leap out of my chest and jump under his shirt.

"Now how am I can get it out of you when it's so hard." He teased.

"Maybe when we have private time." I teased him back by pulling the waistband of his pants. Luckily everyone in front of had their backs turned, no that I'd care because those behind us probably thought I was doing something else to him.

"Bet." He smirked.

"Well, well, well, do we need to find you guys a bathroom or be lookouts while you do some private activities behind a bush?" Sakura smirked.

"Sakura, leave them alone. Let Naruto enjoy all of this." Ino grinned.

"I think he's enjoying it a little too much." She teased.

"Well actually-" Kiba began with a small smirk.

"Don't even try it." I replied, poking his chest over to the next. "Let's just stand over here first of all."

"Sorry Kiba, you'll get him later." Ino winked.

"I know I will." He replied.

"Ouuu." Ino and Sakura began cheering loudly.

I held my down trying to hide the huge smile that spread across me face. It wasn't like he was lying, the question was just when was later going to be. When we get back to school, or somewhere in here?

"Hey! Ino! Sakura! You guys!" A voice yelled from in front of us. But before I could even see who it was my heart immediately dropped when they called his name .

"Oh my Kaguya, Sai!" Ino waved back. "You here with boy toy?"

"Is that even a question. I can't even get a break from you guys and your loud mouths." He replied, smiling back at them.

It was the first I was seeing him smile and I just now realized it. I guess whoever his boyfriend is must really make him happy, because that guy was the grumpiest person I've ever communicated with.

"As always. I guess that's the reason we can't meet him!" Sakura assumed.

"He's not really into all that, at least not yet!"

"Well we'll see him inside eventually!" Rock Lee replied.

"Yeah, you can't hide him from us forever!" Shino added.

"In due time then!" Sai finished before waving back at us. Though when he locked eyes with me, his smile completely disappeared and he stopped waving, I could see the hatred he had for me in his eyes and it made me both upset and scared.

I folded my arms in defense as he glared at me. I just hoped he didn't make a seen that Kiba would notice, but when I felt his arm gripping my side tightly and I looked at him, he was already glaring back at Sai. That wasn't a good sign and I knew he was going to talk to him about me as well.

This just got a little harder, but hopefully I can keep him distracted and away from Sai at all cost to just get our own relationship sorted out. This was the main reason why I came, not for him to fight my battles for me, but to enjoy each other company and hopefully advance further into something.

It took sometime before we managed to get inside the fair but throughout that I managed to learn a bit more about Sai, while keeping Kiba distracted from thinking about him. Ino said that for the most part Sai is very introverted but when it comes to his boyfriend he's a lot more expressive, happy and outgoing. Even before they all became a group of friends it was hard for them to get him out of his dorm to even got to the regular parties held on campus or near it.

That really peaked my interest because I felt like I could relate to with my relationship with Kiba. If he hadn't been my roommate then I'd still not only be a virgin, but I'd be buried in my studies right now, meanwhile, the majority of the campus population would be here.

Including Sai, and maybe if I wasn't present, he'd be here with his friends. I hate to say it but maybe Sai and I aren't that different, he does appear to be an emo even to this day, but I should know better by now to not judge people by their appearance. Especially since I'm here holding hands with the schools definition of a bad boy, yet to me he was just a gentle soul that ventured the wrong path in life.

Luckily he saved himself, and still had so much in his heart that he's trying to save me too.

But not only did I learn that, but I also learned that they've never seen Sai's boyfriend, they've heard his voice and could only describe him as laid back, dark and mysterious, and a loving boyfriend who puts Sai at the top of his priorities, calling him day and night and even visiting him frequently despite leaving miles away.

Honestly, that part broke me. It reminded me of my relationship with Sasuke and how long it's been since we last saw each other, much less spoken to each other. But, it taught me that no matter the situation people will make time for you if they want too.

At first Kiba and I hated each other, but there he was when I least expected him to be, getting me out of trouble that I'd most likely regret for the rest of my life. Not only him, but even Neji and TenTen driving all the way down here to surprise me or check up on me even though they had school too and even if they didn't they still called.

Even my parents don't really check up on me anymore, I have a guess why and I can't blame them for thinking that I'd be here working my ass off, but at least they know that, but I don't know what Sasuke thinks I'm doing nor what he is doing.

"A lot on your mind?" Sakura asked as she stood next to me. We were all inside and just walking around and decided to stop and watch the other people enjoying their rides. I must've blanked out for a moment.

"Huh? Oh yeah. I'm fine, I was just thinking about something."

"I figured. Is it something that troubles you? I don't mean to pry into your life, but I'd like to be of assistance if I can." She assured.

"Thank you, but it's fine. I was thinking about my boyfriend, well ex boyfriend I should say, or not, I'm not really sure."

"Hm, I see." She replied.

"Oh crap." I gasped, covering my mouth from what I just said. "I didn't mean that in a way to say that I'm thinking of him and not Kiba, eluding to the idea of me potentially hurting Kiba."

"Haha calm down Naruto. I understand that, we all understand that. We see how you two interact and we're fine with seeing you both together." She laughed, calming my nerves.

"Yeah, but isn't it weird that I'm here thinking about my boyfriend,"

"Should be ex boyfriend." She corrected.

"Right, but I'm supposed to be here figuring out my feelings for Kiba and his feelings for me?"

"I don't think I can answer that question. The answer more or less is within you. You see in cases like this you have to analyze the pros and the cons of the situation, which is worth the risk, which makes you happier, which feels more right to you. The answer might not be for all the three, but you should at least have an idea of what is that you want."

"I think I understand what you mean, but I'm still unsure."

"Look at this way, Rock Lee and Gaara used to date and Gaara didn't really have feelings for him like which hurt Rock Lee because he felt differently, and he still does now."

"He does?"

"Yeah, and seeing him with Ino makes it hurt a little more, but as his girlfriend I'm supposed to be better than what he had before. I shouldn't make him feel like he's giving me everything and I'm not giving him enough. Love in a relationship is a two way street, nobody should have to travel that path alone, unless you're finding love for yourself."

"So, if they make an effort, then so should you?"

"Exactly."

"You sound really experienced in this Sakura."

"I am, back when I was younger I was in a relationship with this guy who thought I was annoying and useless."

"How did you feel?"

"It broke me." She replied.

"I'm sorry to hear that Sakura." I apologized.

"Hm, it's fine. Because of that I was able to push my self to be where I am today, studying to get my medical degree and be not only useful to everyone but to also be someone everyone has to interact with." She smiled.

"Haha that's actually a great way to put it."

"Of course, I even made you smile."

"You really did. Maybe you're not useless and annoying as he thought you were."

"Thank you, Naruto."

The conversation with Sakura really help get me back on track with everything. Now I felt confident and focused on nothing but doing what I came here to do with Kiba.

We walked back up to the group and Sakura wrapped her arms around Rock Lee's shoulder while he pointed to the faces of the riders, and I stood next to Kiba who patted Akamaru's head while staring contentedly at the riders as well.

"Where'd you run off too?" He asked.

"You didn't see me when I left?"

"I did, but I didn't want you to think I was stalking you or anything." He replied.

"Says my personal pervert."

"Haha that's a foul and smart move." He laughed. "But I noticed you seemed lost in that mind of yours earlier and as much as I don't like you retreating in there I didn't want to always disturb you when you do that."

"That's really thoughtful of you. Thank you for that." I replied with a small smile. Seeing his face lightening up made it all the better. Even the simple things he did always managed to make me feel so, right.

Right? That's a start at how I feel.

•••

After getting an eyeful of everyone enjoy we all began planning out how we were going to enjoy ourselves.

There was a bit of bickering between Ino and Sakura over rides that had to do with water, but Ino decided to sit those ones out as she didn't feel like getting her hair wet, that is until Gaara splashed her with sea water and she chased after him all the way on to the boat. We all took our own boats and divided among couples, so the respective couples sat in each boat.

With the exception of Akamaru who came with me and Kiba. We just kind floated on the water for a bit and pointed at the different things we saw at the bottom of the clear waters.

It was such a peaceful and sightseeing experience that when we were finished with it we decided we'd go back again during the sunset.

We traveled back in to the center of the fair and went to the go kart course. I wasn't going to lie, I expected Kiba to dominate the field, but he was too busy watching as Temari practically knocked everyone over. The girl was in it to win, and I could see the slight embarrassment on Shikamaru's face, but also a small smile.

It was hilarious to watch her annihilate everyone to the point they had to give her the win just to enjoy themselves. But she still had to race Rock Lee who was avid on not giving up.

Kiba eventually got up from his go kart and sat in mine, then called me to sit in his lap while we struggled to navigate the vehicle on the track but enjoyed it regardless.

After that we went to the bumper cars and of course Temari went all out, but Karui decided to challenge her and so did Rock Lee. The three of them created a whole scene which again made Kiba laugh to his heart's content.

Somehow Hinata knocked over Shino and immediately apologized to him. While Sakura and Ino managed to bump into each other and almost throw themselves out of their seats and into the other person's car.

As it got later in the night, we completely had forgotten about the boats on the water. We went on the carousel, to which Kiba got hard from seeing me ride the mechanic horse.

We all took turns riding the mechanical bull and of course Temari held on the longest while Gaara held on the shortest. The bull literally threw the red head over the inflated pool that surrounded it and against the gate that kept the rest of us from getting too close.

Ino almost flipped, but he calmed her down when he insisted that he was fine and then we all laughed about it.

There was a ramen eating contest and we decided to give it a try, Kiba scolded me not too go because it was unhealthy, but I begged him and whispered 'babe' in his ear until he gave in. So Choji, Hinata, Karui and I entered the competition and scarfed down as much ramen as we could with everyone else cheering us on, but I didn't win.

Choji came last out of all the contestants because he only join to enjoy the free food, Karui and I tied second, and Hinata actually won the competition. I didn't expect her to eat that many bowls so delicately, even clean her barely stained lips from the broth.

Shino was so proud of that he immediately hugged her as she walked off while Choji walked passed me with Karui as she was congratulating me for the tie, I felt kind of bad from that, but as Kiba picked me up and threw me over his shoulder I brushed the thought of it aside for another day.

"Stop poking my ass." He chuckled, gripping onto my thigh tightly as I continued.

People were starting to go home at this point, but we weren't finished having our fun. So as Ino said, we ended up staying a lot longer than the time the school had recommended. We decided to try the roller coasters next, which was a bad idea considering four of us ate to the brim of our stomachs, but not really thinking about that and just enjoying the moment let's your forget certain things.

Needless to say, the ride started out with that adrenaline rush surging through my body, reaching to the top and look down at the ants people and the lights of all colors below, and as the ride begins to go down.

The contents of my stomach began to come up.

•••

"That was amazing!" Ino cheered. "The way it just went up and did that triple spin and went down and came back up again! Flawless."

Meanwhile Choji, Karui, Hinata and I drank ginger beer sodas that they bought for us after we threw up like three times already.

"Would've gone a lot better if it wasn't for the sudden splash." Shino replied, while patting Hinata on the head.

"Told you guys it was unhealthy." Kiba smiled, while poking my cheek.

"You guys should be good after drinking those. We wouldn't want to make any mistakes and mess up our cars." Sakura advised us.

"Ain't that the truth." Shikamaru agreed.

"Why are we talking about cars? We're not done having fun yet! Like if anything we're in the middle of it." Ino twirled. "Now, what's next?"

"A ride back to the campus." Karui groaned.

"Seriously?" Ino sighed.

"Yeah, they literally barfed on each other and everyone behind them, and beside them." Shino pointed out.

"Yeah, plus I kinda just wanna get out of here now, it's kind of a drag now that we've basically done every ride already." Shikamaru agreed. "Besides it would be better to get the nauseating ones back at the campus,"

"some of them shouldn't even be here." He mumbled, while side eying me. Even if he was doing that it was obvious that he was implying that to someone and it couldn't be anyone else but me. I just wished he didn't say it in front of.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Kiba spat, immediately lifting me up so he could stand up, despite me stopping him.

"I don't know, I said something but I can't remember." He replied.

"No, I think you do remember. And I also thinking that you better start explaining just what the fuck you're implying before I get it out of you by force!" He yelled, while advancing towards Shikamaru.

"Kiba!" Hinata tried, running over to stop him, along with Sakura, Rock Lee, Temari and Shino.

"You all heard what he said! I just want him to explain what he meant, better yet say it one more fucking time so I can show him just how much of a drag this can be!"

"Woah!" Sakura stopped him. "There won't be any of that, okay! We're all just going to calm down and take our respective partners and split up. If you feel like you both don't want to get on anymore rides, just wait by the entrance and we'll meet you there. Shikamaru and Kiba, I don't want either of you on this same side of this area, got it!"

"Temari, just take him and go." She ordered. "Naruto, you do the same. We'll watch Akamaru, but just go."

Temari and I did as she said and we pulled the two in different directions as the glared at each other and the others stood in between them.

This wasn't how it was supposed to go, we were all supposed to have a great time, but because of me, it almost ended in a fight. Why can't I get a break just for once, why does everything always have to blow up in my face like this!

"THE NERVE OF THAT GUY!" Kiba ranted as we walked near the shore of the boating area. "To say something like that right in front of you, to your face! After I spoke to him about this."

Kiba was fuming, the angriest he always seemed to get whenever something involved me.

"I should go back and just-" He tried, attempting to turn around but I pushed him back.

"Just stop!" I yelled. "You don't need to do that for me!"

"He doesn't have the right to speak to you like that, Kit!"

"He's validated to feel anyway he wants too, Kiba!"

"Kit-"

"No! Just please, listen to me!" I begged. "Yeah, he could've been more respectful to the time and his friends, but I wasn't respectful about ditching him and Choji in the past."

"..."

"What he said was out of anger, and I know that when you're angry it hard for you to control the hurtful things that come out of your mouth. I don't want you to ruin the relationship you have with him because of me, he's your friend."

"But you're also..." He trailed, most likely not knowing what to say.

"See, you can't even give me a title. He's your friend and you should value what you two have."

"Regardless of me not having a title for you, that doesn't change the fact that you're a human being and you mean a lot to me!" He replied, his voice croaking as if he was getting emotional. "If he's my friend then he understood what you mean to me, cause when we spoke I told him exactly how I fucking felt, and for him to do that shows he has no respect towards you, or me."

"Kiba-"

"I didn't react like that on behalf of the small hope that I have of you two becoming friends again, Naruto!" He continued. "I responded like that because you mean so much to me and to hear him say something about you like that to my face was like a punch to the fucking face! I don't care what you did in the past, you've changed, and for that I won't let anyone come to you with their bullshit, they'll have to deal with me first!"

"..."

I was speechless, what more could I have possibly said to win a losing battle. I couldn't defend Shikamaru's actions, only his justification, but Kiba is making me realize that just because you have a reason to do something, doesn't mean you should actually do it.

Was this guy really the guy everyone said had feelings for me?

"Why?" I asked.

"Why what?"

"Why do you like me?"

"What?"

"You're so well put together! Even when I think you're not, you're still mature and intelligent. You had your whole life sorted out before you at my age and you dealt with it confidently and as if you knew what the future held for you!" I replied, feeling as though my heart was shattering. "Why is it that someone like you would settle for someone like me?"

"..."

"I'm nothing but trouble."

"So am I." He replied, as he walked up to me.

"My past isn't the cleanest."

"Neither is mine."

"I'm so contradicting."

"I like that about you."

"But you're a bad boy!"

"So, you're a bad boy too." He retorted, standing directly in front of me with a soft but worried look on his face. "So what's the problem with you?"

"What do you mean?" I answered, speaking so low that I doubt he could hear what I said.

"Come with me." He said, taking my hand and carrying me over to the direction of the boats. It seemed like this portion of the rides were off as the boats were tied to dock, but Kiba went ahead and undid one of the knots.

"What are you doing?!" I asked while looking out in case anyone was watching us.

"I want to talk to you." He replied calmly, standing in the boat and allowing it to drift him away.

"Kib-"

"You better hurry before it gets too far for you to jump." He chanted.

"Ugh!" I groaned, running at full speed up the dock and jumping over to the boat. I definitely would've fallen out after landing, but luckily Kiba grabbed me by his jacket and pulled me on to him.

"You almost made us both get wet." He laughed.

"Shut up." I replied, smacking his chest. "You're the one that jumped out here like a sicko."

"Haha I guess you make me do crazy things." He smiled, brushing my hair back gently and when I looked up he was staring into my eyes with that same look he always has.

It made my heart feel so weak and my chest felt tight. It was so strange that I had to look away, but I still kept close to him, not wanting to give the wrong impression.

"So what's troubling you Kit?" He asked, planting kisses behind my ear.

"It's nothing haha." I laughed, finding it tickling.

"Hm, you know I don't buy that crap. You started off today so confidently and all cocky, but now that it's just us you're acting shy."

"I am not."

"Yes you are! And don't think I didn't see you chatting it up with Sakura earlier. Just what exactly were you two talking about, hm?"

"Nothing."

"Really? Then what was all that stuff about why I like you while we were on the shore, was that nothing as well." He asked.

"Yeah."

"You calling me babe for sometime." He whispered, while planting more kisses on my neck and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Saying you want to match with me."

"Wearing my clothes."

"Touching me in public."

With every sentence he placed another trail of kisses down my neck. It was sweet torture to me, but it had me thinking something. He realized all these little things that I did, and he's already been know to can read me better than anyone else.

"You know, don't you?" I asked, turning around to face him.

"What do you mean?" He smirked.

"Oh my Kaguya! You knew! You knew how I felt and that I was confused and you-"

"Played along?"

"Yeah! The fuck is wrong with you."

"Haha Kit, I just wanted you to figure it out on your own. I mean, I made it clear how I felt so I was just waiting for you and hoping something could happen."

"Well it didn't work, cause I still don't get you nor do I even understand how I feel." I crossed my arms, turning my back to him and attempting to stand up.

"Why didn't you ask me then?" He replied, pulling me back down on his lap. "You keep doing this thing where you ask everyone about me, even when I always make myself available for you to ask me anything."

"It's a lot easier said than done, Kiba."

"Alright, well I'm here, you're here and we're alone. And since, I already know what's up, I won't ask you, I'll tell you." He said. "You want to hear it?"

"Hm, sure."

"You'll have to look at me."

"Ugh! Fine." I groaned turning to face him while he had a big goofy grin on his face. "Haha ridiculous."

"Haha well Naruto Uzumaki, for sometime now that we've been spending together I've gone from wanting to fuck you, to wanting to be with you. You've been my favorite physical form of what I'd describe as my everything. You've been the first person I've taken to my secret place, the first and only person I've allowed to fuck me in the ass, and the first person that I truly believe I've fallen in love with."

"What?"

"Yeah that's right, I don't just like you Naruto. I've passed that stage a long time ago. Waking up to you in the morning and sleeping with you at night have been the best days that I've spent my life, you make me laugh and express so many emotions to and over you that I simply think you might have put a spell on me during one of our sessions, but I guess that's what loving you feels like. Like I've been bewitched with what I could only describe as the best enchantment that I'd be lying if I said I wanted it broken, but even if it was, there'd still be my genuine love for you residing in my heart every day that I get to stare into those big blue eyes of yours that are just as clear as this body of water and as beautiful as the moon cascading on it."

"Kiba... I..." I hesitated, trying to find something within me to reciprocate all of the touching things he just said. "I...can't be sure if I feel the same."

"..."

"It's not that I don't think I do, but I also don't know if I do and...it just feels weird and my heart and my chest, and I just, I don't, I'm afraid that I..." I struggled to find the right words.

"Haha Kit, calm down." He laughed, holding my head steady and pressing his forehead against mine. "It doesn't matter if you don't know, remember I can read you, but you still have to figure it out yourself."

"You can tell how I feel?"

"Yeah, I've been telling you for a long while haven't I?"

"Then you can-"

"Nope, I'm not telling you. You have to figure it out on your own. Just because I know I can, doesn't mean I have too. In life you have to make your own decisions, and as much as I decide to have you for the rest of my life, you have to discover if you want the same thing."

"What if I-"

"Only you'll know." He replied, kissing the tip of my nose. "That still doesn't mean I'm letting another guys scoop you up until I get an answer from you."

"So you better let that guy who didn't teach you how to love you and how to love him, to back off."

"Wha-"

"Yeah! I still remember you have a boyfriend, I'm not stupid." He chuckled.

"You really are a mind reader." I blushed, hiding my face from the embarrassment of Kiba knowing all my troubles so well.

"Are you also thinking that the sea reminds you of our first time together and you'd risk having a quickie with me on this boat?" He whispered.

"I wasn't thinking it before, but..." I trailed as he began to remove his shirt and undo his pants. "You couldn't wait a minute?"

"It's called a quickie for a reason." He winked.

-Minor Smut Scene Begins/won't affect story progression if you choose not to read-

Before I knew it, we were both undressed and making out on the boat. Kiba's hands trailed all over my body as the waves rocked us in a motion that we were about to imitate in a few seconds. I used my hands and travel down Kiba's back and took hold of his ass and spreader them apart.

He broke the kiss and looked at me with a smirk while tugging my member roughly.

"You feeling yourself tonight now that I've confessed, huh?" He smirked.

"Haha it's just you fucked me in the water last time, I just want to return the favor."

"I suddenly like favors now."

"Haha you're so extra."

"Haha but, it we're doing this like the last then..." He began before suddenly diving into the water.

"Kiba!"

"We got to do it the right way." He resurfaced, holding his hand up and waiting for me to take it.

He guided me off the boat and he held on to it firmly, wrapping his around my waist and pulling me closer to his back.

"Tease me, and don't hold back." He smirked.

I nodded and smirked back at him before holding onto his waist. The feeling of his toned ass against my balls felt absolutely amazing, especially with the water making the skin on skin contact all the more foreign, but in a enticing way. I pressed the tip of my cock against his hole and Kiba arched his back and gripped the boat tighter in anticipation.

My tip had finally penetrated his hole and I was about to go all the way. That's is, until we heard yelling from the shore.

-End Of Smut Scene/ I told you it was short-

"Kiba! Naruto!" Ino and Sakura yelled in unison from the shore.

"Would you be willing to maybe..." Kiba sighed.

"Nope, not shameless enough for that." I laughed, pulling out of him regrettably and swimming to the next side.

"I figured. Let's just hurry and get back to dorm." He sighed.

I laughed and quickly swam back over to plant a kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you, Kiba." I smiled.

"For what?" He asked.

"For everything that has happened, and everything to come."

"Hm, wouldn't have wanted it with anyone else." He replied.

"Same here."

•••

After we got back to the shore Sakura scolded both of us for being so reckless and that the water wasn't meant for swimming and something could've happened to us, but we're too busy just thinking about each other, even Ino was clearly happy for us.

We all gathered at the gate and that's when I remembered that Kiba will have to travel with Shikamaru just like how we got here. But luckily, Hinata and Shino volunteered to ride with him so that the two wouldn't end up butting heads again.

Throughout the ride we mainly stayed quiet while Ino, Gaara and Akamaru slept away. Sakura would occasionally check back at us and smile at me when she saw Kiba and I snuggled up against each other. It was kind of a long ride and I really got to do some thinking, Kiba was in love with me, but I needed to end things with Sasuke, but I also don't know if I want too or even if I'll be able to love Kiba back.

"Alright, we're back." Sakura yawned, stretching her arms from the long drive.

"Hm, the gates locked." Rock Lee pointed out.

"Yup." Ino sighed.

"As if that wasn't expected." Gaara awakened, yawning as well.

"We're gonna have to jump the wall." Kiba explained.

"I'd rather stay in the car." Sakura decided.

"Same here." Ino agreed with the others. "They'll only be closed until like 6am."

"Well I don't know about you guys, but I'd actually like to sleep next to Naruto in a bed, not in the backseat of Sakura's cramped car." He smiled.

"You say that like you guys are going to sleep." Sakura pointed out.

"Yeah, you're just gonna fuck and pass out on each other." Ino agreed. "Thinking about that, I think we should all just jump the wall actually."

"Why the sudden change in mind?" Sakura asked.

"Because my head needs a pillow and I want what these two are having," Ino replied, pointing at Kiba and I, then pointing to Gaara. "but with this one."

We all laughed at her blunt response, but it did get them all in the mindset to give it a shot. As we exited the car we met up with the others and told them the idea and they were all on board with it. Just like us they seemed pretty exhausted, except Shikamaru.

He seemed more irritated than anything.

We all ventured to the side of the compound and each took turns boosting and climbing up the wall and jumping over it, while also working together to get Akamaru over safely as well.

Those of us that didn't want to climb the wall itself decided to climb the nearby tree and jump on top of the wall and then jump down. Shikamaru being one of those persons, but Temari reluctantly accepted the help for everyone else.

I wasn't even going to put him on my mind at this time. He was entitled to feel and do whatever he felt or wanted. But today, I also did something like that and I took a risk and in return I got an answer that I'm cherishing the memory of it repeating in my mind.

Kiba, likes me. Not even, likes me. But, Kiba loves me.

He confessed and told me that it was okay that I didn't know I felt for him, because he could see something within me that I couldn't, granted me permission to share an intimate experience with him that neither of us had tried before, proving the trust he had within me, and still continuing to spoil me with his affection, keeping me by his side even as we all walked across the campus tiredly.

"I have to admit, today was one of the best times we've ever had at that fair." Ino smiled, leaning herself on Gaara who helped he walk.

"You think so?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, I might be tired as shit right now, but that just solidifies how eventful today was."

"Or how Sakura and you almost collided." Hinata joked, earning quiet laughter from the group.

"Haha don't get me started on how she basically folded Shino, Hinata." Ino joked back.

"It's Rock Lee that stole the show. The only guy I expect to go against me and have a chance at winning is this grumpy old pineapple of a boyfriend." Temari teased, pinching Shikamaru's cheek before he brushed her hand away with a gentle smile.

He must really like her. I've never seen him smile like that before with a girl until now. It reminded me of how I get when I'm with Kiba. Which of course brought a smile to my face, especially after his confession.

It was delivered so naturally as if this was something he felt for a long time. Was that the case or was he just that much aware of himself that he knew exactly what he wanted the moment he wanted it?

"Hey Kiba?" I whispered to him while the other continued speaking to their significant other.

"Hm?" He replied, looking at me happily and pulling me closer to him.

"I wanted to ask you some-"

"Someone's coming!" Ino whispered loud enough for all of us to hear. Just in front of us was a light source moving and the sudden silence allowed us to hear someone whistling with footsteps following.

"Hide!" Kiba ordered, dragging me into a nearby bush with him, while Choji, Shikamaru, Temari and Karui hid nearby us and the others ran away to the far side.

This wasn't good, it was way past the hours that anyone should be on campus awake and loitering, especially given our attire and the fact that the fair was today. If we got caught we'd be in big shit.

Kiba covered his mouth and motioned for me to do the same and listen carefully.

The light went over our heads and stopped for a moment, we listened carefully to try and figure out our next course of action before the guard made their move. My heart was racing from the anticipation, I hadn't done something like this in so long that I didn't know if it was fear or an adrenaline rush.

Regardless of that, the footsteps began pacing towards us. I motioned to Kiba that he was coming from my side and he squatted on his feet and as the guard came closer to us, we crawled over to the other side of the bush and kept silent. Lucky thing we did, because he stood directly where he would've seen us.

We thought that we were in the clear and that we'd just have to wait for him to leave.

"This is campus security, come out with your hands where I can see them." The man ordered.

My heart leaped from my chest thinking he was talking to us. Kiba had a confused look on his face most likely wondering how he would've seen us, but he took a peek just to make sure.

"Fuck." He sighed lowly. "It's Choji."

I was confused by what he meant so I took a peek as well, only to see that a quarter of Choji's body stuck out from the bushes like a sore thumb. He most likely gave the majority of the space to Karui.

What a time to be generous.

"Don't let me repeat myself!" The security guard spat.

That's when I noticed it was the white haired security guard with the glasses, the quiet one who took his job way too seriously. The only weapon he had was a baton and here he was acting like a cop.

"Alright! I'm coming out, just don't shoot me or whatever!" Choji begged. "I'm the only one here, you startled me so I hid."

"You choose a terrible hiding spot. I hope you get expelled for your lack of common sense, fatso."

Choji was still covering for us, all of us. I knew he was a generous guy from day one and I shouldn't be surprised that he'd do something like this for his friends. It was the same thing he'd do for me and Shikamaru back in high school, but we couldn't allow him to take the fall on his own.

"Don't talk to him like that! He's not a alone and you have no right to say that." Shikamaru's voice echoed from nearby.

"Oh, so you weren't alone eh? Well how about you both step out and let's just head to Ms. Senju's office to sort out your punishment." He chuckled.

"As if we'd step out to someone like you, better yet, come get us yourself." Shikamaru spat.

"Hm, very well." The man smirked.

I saw him reach his hand into his pocket and was curious to what he could possibly be reaching for, his walkytalky? Absolutely not, as sparks flew and I heard the sound of electricity surging through the object.

When I said he took his job too seriously, I meant it.

The air immediately filled with silence as I'm sure all of us were in shock. Kiba tried to pull me back down, but I just couldn't bring myself to sit down and listen to this any further. I knew they weren't my friends anymore but just seeing them in trouble, I don't know why, but it felt like I had to do something.

And that's what I did.

The moment he took the first step towards them I launched myself over the bush, Kiba tried to grab me but I was too quick. It was one thing for him to see their faces, but it was a whole other thing for him to hurt them.

I jumped behind the guard and knocked him in the head, effectively knocking his glasses off his face, which luckily he really needed cause now he was practically blind.

"MY GLASSES!" He cried, pulling out his walkytalky. "BACK UP! I NEED BACK UP! THE EAST-SIDE WALL INTRUDERS! OFFICER DOWN! KABUTO DOWN! I REPEAT KABUTO DOWN!"

"Shit! Run! Run! Run!" Ino yelled, kicking the device from his grip while Hinata accidentally stepped on his glasses.

"Crap!" She gasped, trying to pick them up.

"No time to be apologetic. Let's go!" Sakura hurried.

We all split up and ran in the direction of our individual dorm sectors. Kiba, Shino, Akamaru, Hinata and I ran towards our sector and just as we thought we'd be home free, three other guards came running.

"You guys go we'll distract them!" I ordered, pulling Kiba along with me as Akamaru followed.

We ran up towards the guards with our faces still hidden and caught their attention. Immediately they chased after us giving Shino and Hinata time to get inside the building. They waited for us at the door but I encouraged them to go on without us.

"Go! We'll be fine!" I yelled.

"Kit, come on!" Kiba yelled, grabbing my wrist and pulling me as we ran across the campus as fast as we could with the guards on out tails.

We jumped over bushes, the benches, trash cans and ran in the water fountain to try and shake them. It was actually pretty fun to me, seeing us both outrun and and outsmart in chase, amazing.

We stopped and hid behind a bush that was behind a trash can, somewhere along the way we lost Akamaru as he just thought this was one big game and ran off in his own direction. We were breathless and exhausted from all the running, panting roughly while trying to catch our breaths.

Kiba shushed me as the guards footsteps approached us.

"Where...did they go?!"

"I'm not sure... They were too quick."

"I'm definitely taking my sick leaf the next time this fair comes into town because this is ridiculous."

"Should we go and assist Kabuto? He said he was attacked."

"He's probably overreacting. You two go, I can't stand that guy."

"Alright! You keep a look out for that guy and his blonde girlfriend." One of them yelled once they were left.

Kiba began chuckling at their conversation calling me his blonde girlfriend while I scolded him for it and for picking the wrong time to laugh about such a thing. I tried covering his stupid mouth, but the guy found it was too funny to the point where I began chuckling as well.

"Who's there?!" The guard called out, starling both of us as we had our hands over each other's mouth.

We just might have ran out of luck. We couldn't run anymore at this point and there was no way we could hide our faces from him as there was nowhere else to run but directly towards him. There was the option to run and split up, but I wouldn't want him to run after Kiba and I know he wouldn't want him to come after me.

Out of the blue, we heard an abundance of barking coming towards us. We peeked from the bush and saw Akamaru sprinting while the two other guards chased after him.

"Grab him!" They yelled, but when the guard prepared to reach for him, Akamaru stopped, did a full 360 and began barking once more while leaving the guards in the dust as they ran after him.

I stood up to go help him, but Kiba pulled me back down in laughter.

"What are you doing? We gotta help him!"

"They're not catching Akamaru, and what's the point in ruining his fun." He chuckled.

"Yeah, but..."

"But just stay here with me for a bit. I'm exhausted from all the running haha." He yawned, his eyes glazing over as his arms around my waist softened while he smiled fondly at me. "I told you I loved you, right?"

"I'm not sure if I can remember.

"You tease." He chuckled before yawning.

"Are you seriously thinking about sleeping here?"

"I don't see why not. I already have you, what more could I need to sleep peacefully?"

"A place called home, ya know? Somewhere with a bed."

"Hm, sometimes home isn't a place, but rather a person, sometimes it might be a handsome blonde with the sweetest scent clutching on to your chest as you become taken over by sleep." He smiled.

I watched as he slowly closed his eyes with a smile still plastered on his face. This was the guy who gave me the entirety of his heart, with just an expectation that maybe he'd be able to get mine. I still didn't feel like it was fair to him, but he was okay.

He was okay, with me, and loving me, and loving who I was. He could see the love I have for him, but I just hoped I could see it and reciprocate the feelings for him too.

Not long after I  drifted off to sleep from growing bored of watching him sleep peacefully. He still held onto me, but gently. Almost as if you wanted something close, but you didn't want to hurt it in the process.

I hoping these feelings come quickly.

Author P.O.V

The next morning Kiba awoke to the sun scorching his eyes and noises in the background.

He looked around in confusion, wondering how he got here until he saw his jacket over Naruto's head. He smiled to himself as the events of last night came rushing back to him.

"Hey Kit, wake up? The sun is out." He smiled, poking the blonde in his side.

"Hm? Five more minutes." The blonde replied, snuggling up further into his chest.

Kiba shook his head in amusement finding him to be rather funny and cute. He figured he must be exhausted from sleeping on the ground and was glad neither of them had classes this early, but he had class later on in the day.

Which judging by the heat from the Sun, it could possibly be very soon.

"Alright, the things I do for love, I guess." He shrugged, pushing himself up and laying the blonde on the grass gently before stretching his muscles. Then he bent down and scooped up Naruto into his arms and carried him bridal style after adjusting his jacket on his head.

All eyes immediately landed on Kiba carrying the blonde across campus. Students were confused and shocked from seeing that kind of display from him either from never getting that treatment from him, or about the rumors of him that they've heard.

He was well aware of the rumors and had no interest in denying or confirming them. He was fine with whatever label society wanted to place on him because at the end of the day the only person's opinion he valued, were his, his friends and Naruto, the guy he was in love with.

Not a one night stand, not a friend with benefit, but someone he genuinely invested his heart into and couldn't see any other reason not too.

"Well, look what the puppy dragged in." Someone taunted from behind Kiba, the voice was all too familiar to him and quite frankly wasn't in the mood for him.

"Fang, don't you hear me talking to you?" Kankuro called out after being ignored. "Oh! So because you have a new bitch to fuck with you're suddenly tossing me aside?"

That had pushed Kiba's button hard enough, and Kankuro knew it.

"Don't you ever refer to him again, got that? You're lucky he's trying to sleep or I'd-"

"Or you'd what? Fuck me into submission again?"

"That was a different time. A time before I met him.

"It was a time he was here."

"It was a time when we weren't on good terms Kankuro!"

"Which you then found comfort with me, or rather inside me." Kankuro teased.

"I wasn't thinking back then."

"Really? So you suddenly decided to just fuck him while being on bad terms with me? What's next? Who are you gonna fuck when you both fall out Fang?"

"Nobody."

"Yeah, right! Just cut the puppetry an-"

"No! I'm serious. I understand that in the past I expressed things to you that I WHOLEHEARTEDLY regret right now. Putting you on this pedestal because I thought that you were the one for me, but you're not and you never will be."

"Fan-"

"Shut the fuck up while I'm speaking and don't let me tell you about waking Naruto up again." Kiba spat without a hint of emotion. "You manipulated me, used me, fooled me, and had me fool myself all because I loved you, but I realized now that I didn't love you, at least not how I should really love someone."

"Naruto is the best thing to ever happen to me, and I mean that with every breath of my being. You were just a phase, an obstacle that I had to go through, and is still going through to this day. But this guy right in my arms, he's the next stage in my life. Something you'll never understand because you're to fixated on the past and what we're never even were to begin with."

"Haha Fang-"

"Don't ever call me that again. As a matter of fact, don't ever acknowledge me again. You're so high and mighty then why don't you go and fuck some random guy while Juugo sits in your room sniffing your underwear thinking you'll be faithful."

"You knew-"

"I know everything you did Kankuro, but as you can see I've moved on, and I'd encourage the same for you. And if you ever even think about bothering Naruto again, I will personally shove all your puppet collection so far up your ass that you'd be shitting splinters for the rest of your lifespan."

"Happy life." Kiba smiled, turning around happily with Naruto sleeping soundly in his arms, oblivious to the conversation.

Kankuro stood there motionlessly for what seemed like forever, but the lowly volume of noise echoing in his pocket brought him back to reality, and that's when a crooked smile formed on his face.

He pulled out his phone from his front pocket and placed the device to his ear while watching Kiba walk away from him.

"Yeah?"

"Who was that guy?"

"Oh so you got all that, huh? I told you I wasn't puppeting with you."

"So...so what was your plan?"

"I'm glad you asked. I'm sure the both of us will get exactly who we deserve by the end of all this." Kankuro smiled, taking one last look at Kiba's back before walking away vengefully.

"Right, Sasuke?"

"Yeah..."
