Author Notes: Hey, new NaruKiba yaoi pairing. This one has some content based off the fic I read made by kibalover357 called A Yearly Heat Can Lead To Wonderful Things. Hope you enjoy.

Naruto and Kiba had semi-secretly been going out for the past 8 months, semi-secretly because neither boy had mentioned their relationship to his guardian. Their friends, however, knew pretty much the second or third week, and they had actually been quite accepting if not congratulatory. The blond jinchuuriki was worried about what Iruka would say, but he couldn't deny that the Inuzuka made him happy. As per Kiba, well…when one considers his mother's disposition and frequent, violent outbursts, was telling her really an option? It had been Kiba who made the first move. Naruto's hyperactive and overly cheerful disposition and his determination were what attracted the brunette to him. When the dog-boy told him outright on the night of the Kyuubi Festival as they watched the end of the fireworks under a tree, the blond was frightened. Not only had he never exactly been in an intimate relationship before, but he also felt awkward because it was a guy who just professed attraction to him.

"Do you wanna maybe go out some time? I'll treat," the brunette offered. Naruto just stared at him in surprise. Kiba's expression gradually moved from bashfulness and nervousness to stress and worry. "Naruto…I…ok. You don't have to be my boyfriend," he spoke in a down tone. "Just promise you won't tell anyone. Just forget tonight ever happened." He had begun walking away slowly with his head hanging, but Naruto finally found the strength to say something.

"Wait…" he spoke, just loud enough for Kiba to hear. The brunette of fifteen turned back to see his crush blushing like mad, holding one arm tightly with the other. It was actually really quite alluring, cute. "Are…are you serious, or did someone put you up to it?" Kiba looked into those blue eyes, shaking, cautious, ready to be hurt, and it broke his heart.

"I promise no one put me up to this," the brunette replied softly, kindly. Naruto stopped shaking, but he looked away as he blushed. "What? You afraid just because I said I liked you?" There was a moment's pause. "Well?"

"Ya," the blond spoke quietly, looking further away to avoid meeting Kiba's gaze.

" 'Cause I'm a guy right?" he asked almost bitterly.

"Well, I've never had a girlfriend or been on a date before," the blond replied. Kiba lightened up knowing it wasn't, or at least not entirely, because he, a guy, was asking out another guy.

"Well, then this is a new experience for both of us," Kiba replied with a smile as he approached his hopefully soon to be boyfriend. Naruto looked at him again and shrunk back a little. "I promise I won't rush you, and I'll always stick by you. If I ever say or do anything hurtful, tell me alright?" The blond was panting with the Inuzuka heir so close to him, unknowingly pressuring Naruto back against the tree.

"I, suppose I could maybe go on, at least one date with you," Naruto replied with a cute little smile as he blushed and tried to avoid the eyes of his courter.

"I'll come by your place around six-thirty on Wednesday, that good?" Kiba asked cheerfully as he stood all the way up, no longer leaning in towards his date's face.

"Sure, I'll see you then," Naruto responded. Kiba nodded with a grin before saying good night to his new boyfriend along with a "happy birthday" and walking back home. Naruto tried to deal with the whirling host of emotions in his head as he walked home, but he was confused. The blond laid awake in his bed for several hours until mental exhaustion claimed him.

"So, my vessel has a prospective mate?" the nine-tailed fox asked with a grin, awakening mental Naruto who appeared in his bed inside the redhead's cage. The blond was only in his boxers, but he had gotten used to waking up in this condition, Kyuubi having a conversation or question he needed to pose.

"What are you on about fox?" the blond asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"I mean, you've got a partner now, possibly a permanent one?" the redheaded teen asked with a sly grin. Naruto never understood how a thousand plus-year-old demon could look only slightly older than himself.

"What? No, I just said I'd go on a date with Kiba," the blond replied.

"Funny, cause your head's got a few too many extra thoughts for this to just be some minor thing," Kyuubi pointed, making his vessel blush. "Come on. You can tell me anything. I'm not getting out of here anytime soon." Naruto narrowed his eyes at the redhead. He wasn't that annoying.

"Well, I guess I'm a little nervous, it being my first date ever and all," the boy began. "What I'm kinda confused about though, is how I should go about this considering he's, a guy." For a second, the blond thought the demon would be mad at him. Same-sex couples weren't well-viewed by most of the human population.

"It's pretty much the same," the redhead began as he laid down on the bed himself in his slacks and skin-tight shirt, resting his head on his hands at the opposite edge. "The occasional gift, the two-week and three-month anniversaries, the pet names…everything's the same except for the flowers, chocolates, and the sex."

Naruto blushed fiercely at that comment. Sex? He'd be expected to have sex with Kiba? "Don't be so nervous," Kyuubi told him calmly. "If he's worth your time he'll ask about six months in, and if you're not ready, he should give you some time. Otherwise he's just a horny sex-hound looking to pick up easy tail, in which case, you throttle 'im…and you tell his parents."

"I thought you'd be mad at me," Naruto spoke with a chuckle. "I know Iruka will be if I get serious."

"You humans are always so discriminatory and uptight," the fox-teen spoke as he rolled his eyes. "I've been with…six males and four females so far, all of which dying because of sickness or combat. The bad part about demons is that we quite easily get into wars." Naruto's jaw dropped. "You seem surprised."

"Well yeah!" he spouted. "Ten partners?! That's seriously unfaithful."

"Watch your tongue," Kyuubi said darkly. "I loved every one of them, and it was about twenty to thirty years between the death and finding a new mate. I still mourn for them from time to time."

"I'm sorry," Naruto replied quietly.

"Time for you to get some sleep though Uzumaki," the redhead spoke before knocking mental Naruto out with a genjutsu.
