Lips of an Angel
Song written by: Hinder
Kankuro stared out his window into the late night sky, tears running down his face for the third time that night. Crying had become something normal for him lately, ever since Kiba had broken up with him, and in turn had shattered his heart. It had been a month, and Kankuro hadn't heard from Kiba since the break up.
Picking his phone up, he checked his messages. None. No one cared enough to see if he was okay, the only person who had cared was the one who hurt him in the first place. He put up a careless, cocky front and hid the pain underneath the façade. He opened his phone and look at the first contact on his list, Kiba Inuzuka it read. Wiping his tears he pressed the talk button, ignoring the time and just hoping to get his voicemail and hear that voice he so desperately loved.
The phone rang quietly through the room, waking Kiba from his deep slumber. Rubbing his eyes he picked up the phone.
"Hello?" He said, sitting up and leaning against the head board.
"Kiba?" The voice was quiet and deep, surprise the underlying tone.
Honey why are you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why are you crying, is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
"Kankuro?" Kiba whispered in surprise, looking at the time. "It's past midnight!" The only response was an attempt to muffle a sob. "Hey, are you okay? What's wrong?"
"I-I miss you." Kankuro's quiet reply came as he muffled his sobs. "Can we talk?"
"I have to be quiet. Hinata's in the next room, and I don't want to wake her." Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
"Hinata?" Kankuro's chuckle was humorless. "Then this call was a waste. You're over me just like you said." Tears seemed to pour down his face even faster than before.
'I don't know about that.' Kiba was shocked at the thought. Did he still have feelings for the boy on the other end of the line? 'No. I'm completely over him. I don't need him or want him anymore.' It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
Kiba couldn't deny that he felt good talking to Kankuro for the first time in a long time. Kankuro hadn't returned his calls or talked to his since the break up.
Kankuro swung his legs over the side of his bed, leaning forward and resting his forearms on his knees. It hurt so much to hear that voice, ripping his heart to pieces, but he just couldn't get enough of it. And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
"I shouldn't be talking to you right now." Kiba sighed, startling Kankuro somewhat. "It's not fair to Hinata."
"Don't go. Please!" Kankuro begged. "Just talk to me a while longer?" Kiba sighed, and silence was the only thing that came from either line. It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me?
Will it start a fight?
No I don't think she has a clue
"How are you and what's his face?" Kiba asked, breaking the unbearable silence. "Won't he be mad if he finds you talking to me?"
"No, Sai doesn't know. What about you and Hinata?" Kankuro ignored the first question about he and Sai. He'd dumped the loser after the second date.
"No, she's fast asleep."
There was another silence before Kankuro asked one of his questions tentatively. "Do you think about me anymore? Dream of me?"
"Yeah, sometimes I guess. But I don't regret my choice. Why?"
'Because I still dream of you.' Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
"So. . . Hinata, huh?" Kankuro continued, wanting to hear Kiba's voice a little bit longer.
"Yeah."
"Your guys happy?"
"Yeah." Kiba was lying to himself, but Kankuro had no idea. Truth was, Kiba hadn't been as happy with the break up as he pretended or thought he'd be. He did regret it, but his pride wouldn't let him admit it. It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
'Why did he have to call?' Kiba thought with a sudden rush of anger. 'He's making me want him back!'
"It's good to hear your voice." Kankuro said quietly. "I missed it. I miss you." And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
"Kankuro, I'm sorry. I can't talk to you anymore tonight." Kiba said, standing and walking over to his window, pushing aside the curtains.
"Kiba, please!" Kankuro was desperate. "I know you want me back too! You have to, please!" Kankuro's tears came rushing back, tears he thought had dried up as he and Kiba had been talking. It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
"Stop it! Just stop it!" Kiba cried. "Haven't you wrecked enough havoc for one night?!' 'Stop making me love you!'
"Kiba, I'm sorry for whatever I did that made you leave! Please come back to me!" Becoming hysterical Kankuro sat with his head between his knees, trying to ward off the feeling of being sick, and the pain crashing over him like waves. And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
"No, I have to go."
"Kiba!" Kankuro stood up. "Don't hang up!"
"Leave me alone Kankuro! I want nothing to do with you ever again!" And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why are you calling me so late?
Kankuro heard a faint click and knew Kiba was gone. He toppled onto the bed crying his heart out.
Kiba meanwhile stood looking through the window. Tears flowed down his red fanged cheeks and he made no move to wipe them. The phone fell from his hand onto the floor, where it lay forgotten. 'Why'd he have to call?'
