Hello!

It's good to be back again. I had so much fun writing my first story with Kiba and Naruto that I decided to keep going with these characters in a new story, set a few years in the future from the previous one. I spent some time browsing around this pairing, but I could only read so many of the same type of story, the one where they tell each other they love the other for the first time, and it works out perfectly, and ladi-dadi, you know the rest.

Suffice it to say this left me with an itching feeling to delve further into their relationship, and I realized that if there was not something of the sort that I wanted, I was obligated to step up and produce it myself. For all of you who read and enjoyed my first story, thank you so much for coming along with me if you stuck with it to the end, and I hope that you can enjoy this one as well. This story may be very episodic in nature, not necessarily linear, but I think you'll catch on. Lets dive right into it, shall we?


Naruto flicked the light on in the pantry and perused the wine rack to find a decent red to crack open. He dusted off a bottle of Cabernet.

Perfect

He left the pantry and turned the light off again. He grabbed two wine glasses off the shelf above the kitchen sink. Kiba was plating spaghetti and topping it with sauce.

"What did you pick?" He asked, picking up the plates. Naruto showed him the label. "Good choice." Kiba smiled, placing a gentle kiss on the blond's cheek. He carried the two plates to the balcony and set them on the small table and went back to the kitchen for utensils. Naruto poured a glass for himself and for Kiba, bringing them both out to the balcony. They sat, watching the sun fade, eating their dinner. A sleeping pup lay curled up in the corner of the living room. The two boys clinked their glasses together, empty plates stacked on the table.

"Is it too early to say it?" Kiba prodded.

"Go ahead, i guess." Naruto chucked.

Kiba held a hand up to his mouth and mimicked a voice over a speaker. "Paging Doctor Uzumaki!"

"I'm just a med student, not a Doctor yet." He shrugged.

"Well isn't getting into Med school the hardest part anyways? You're practically there already!" Kiba boasted.

"Actually, after med school, I need to do an internship, then residency, THEN-"

Kiba rolled his eyes slightly, and interrupted Naruto's rambling with a kiss. "You talk too much."

Naruto sat back, cheeks reddening by the second. "Yeah.. okay.. BUT, We're not just celebrating me. Tonight is about you too!" He raised his glass. "To being done with Undergrad!"

"Cheers!" They took sips resepctively.

"Man, four years really flew by." Kiba began.

"Yeah." Naruto agreed. "So much has happened. All the memories we've made in this apartment." He sad down his glass and walked in to the kitchen to grab the bottle of wine. He returned to the balcony and topped off both of their glasses. "Tonight is the perfect night to reminisce, don't you think?" He said, shooting his lover a smirk.

Kiba smiled back at him. "Yeah, sounds great."
