Prologue: It was the summer after freshman year at Konoha high when Naruto started to realize he had extreme feelings for his friend Kiba. He recently discovered that he was gay. Naruto struggles with falling in love, coming out to his friends, and facing the challenges of being homosexual in the judgmental city of Konoha.

Chapter 1: Good Memories

Naruto's POV

I don't know how to deal with this. Why of all people does it have to be Kiba? I am in love with one of my best friends, and he is a guy. I have to stop thinking this way before I get to Kiba's house. Once I reached the Inuzuka residence I rang the doorbell. I was extremely nervous because this is the first time I had been to Kiba's house. Sure I've hung out with him, but all of those times they were at my apartment. Kiba answers the door and says "What's up Naruto?" I respond with a simple "Nothing much."

We go up to Kiba's room and it's exactly how I expected it to look. It is messy and looks just like a straight teenage boy's sanctuary. For the duration of the time at Kiba's house we mostly just played video games and watched a couple movies. Most people would fine that boring, but I found it fun because I was with the person I loved. It didn't matter to me if he knew and, yet I know I will tell him eventually though. When it was getting late I decided to take my leave. Kiba walked me to the door and said "bye dude." and I responded with "bye Kiba." I wanted to just blurt out my feelings for him right then and there but I couldn't. Slowly, I walked away and kept my mouth quiet and began my journey home.

The rest of that summer didn't compare to that one wonderful night. The only other interesting part of the summer is when I came out to my close friends Hinata, Sakura, and Ino. They took it very well and were proud of me for having the courage to tell them. Sakura asked me if there was anyone I liked or had a crush on. I blushed beat red and denied. She immediately knew I was lying and pried for more information. I admitted I was madly in love with my friend Kiba Inuzuka.

She screamed in delight and yelled "I knew there was a reason you act that way around him." The other two girls were just sitting there in shock. I wanted to just melt through the floor and escape everyone because I was so embarrassed. I do not regret telling them my secrets, but I made it clear that I didn't want them telling anyone. I trust my friends with all my heart and I seriously would do anything for them. I would even die for them, and I especially would die for my precious Kiba that I know I am forbidden to have; because I know that this love I have for him probably never will be returned.
