"Naruto?"

The young man turned around at the sound of his name and came face to face with the last person he thought would ever talk to him.

Okay so he's seen him in a couple of his classes and around campus but he's never gotten the nerve to actually speak to him. He has this rugged look to him, spiky brown hair, tattoos on his face, a graphic t-shirt from some ninja show he heard of; and if those jeans were any tighter, Naruto would probably have to take a notebook out of his bag to cover his crotch. Not to add the fact that he looked eerily familiar but he just couldn't remember why.

Maybe he finally got tired of him staring and was going to take matter into his own hands. He just hoped it wasn't going to be the face. He can't deal with a broken nose at the moment… or ever.

"Uzumaki Naruto right?"

Naruto stared at the brunet in front of him. His lips opening and closing like a gaping fish before he dumbly blurts out "H-how do you know my name?"

The young man watched him carefully before chuckling and pointing at himself "Inuzuka Kiba? Remember? We used to race up to that big tree with the neighborhood kids back in the day."

Something in the Inuzuka's demeanor relaxed when Naruto's eyes lit up in recognition. "You were the one with the scary mom!"

Kiba scoffed "Like you're one to talk. Your mom's the Red-Hot Habanero."

"Touché." Naruto said around a smile "Say. You never gave me my fox plush before you moved away..."

If Naruto could describe the look Kiba was making, he'd say it was the same as the one he made when their mothers caught them after a prank.

"Yeah" Kiba laughed sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Akamaru took it for a chew toy, and-"

"STOP" Naruto interrupted hastily, waving his arms wildly. A solemn look crossed his face. "Say no more."

Kiba leaned in closer before swinging an arm around his shoulders. "You still like ramen right?" At Naruto's nod, he grinned widely "Then how about I take you to Ichiraku's as an apology, say Friday at 7?"

"Are you hitting on me?" The blonde asked as he looked at the arm draped over his shoulders skeptically.

"Why? Do you want me to?"

"I swear to god Kiba, if you treat me like a chick I will cut your dick off and feed it to Akamaru."

With a strained look, Kiba nodded. "Message received loud and clear, Cap."

"Fine." Naruto muttered before hitting him over the head.

"OW-! What the hell was that for!?" Kiba shouted in pain as he gently probed the back of his head.

"You know exactly what that was for."
