Blue Bird – Chapter seven: Early Vacations and More Confessions
Naruto had no idea how to react to that...
Kiba had just told him that he loved him, but Naruto was with Natsu now. What was he supposed to do? He couldn't just say to Kiba that he loved him too and jump into his arms, but he couldn't deny that he felt something for Kiba either.
So Naruto did the first thing that came to him... he ran
"I'm sorry but I need to leave right now." And with that Naruto opened the door of Kiba's car and began running. He just ran, he just kept on going, out of the car park, past all the school fields, past the zoology class, past Natsu.
Naruto just felt the need to get as far away from everything as he possibly could; he knew that he needed to think about what had just happened and how he was going to react to it and for that he was going to need a lot of quiet time and a place where he could think without having people shove their tongues down his throat.
Before he knew it he was standing in front of Hinata's classroom and sending her a message to meet him outside so they could talk. He didn't want to get Hinata involved in his mess but he knew she wouldn't forgive him if he just took off without talking to her. She was standing before him within moments of him sending the text and as usual she knew exactly what was going on, simply linking his arm in hers and started walking.
"I really need to get away for a bit Hinata." The serious tone in Naruto's voice told Hinata everything she needed to know.
"Okay, in that case I think it's time for us to take a little vacation." Hinata had a simple smile on her face as she pulled out her phone and began tapping furiously at the screen.
"What do you mean a 'vacation', schools still open for another two weeks before the holidays." Naruto said with a note of curiosity in his voice. He was going to bunk off for a week and was just going to ask Hinata if he could use her summer house, he wasn't expecting her to bunk with him.
"Naruto, my dad has a very powerful business and he's on good terms with the headmistress, I'll just ask him to sort out an early holiday start for some of us. It's not like we do anything in the last three weeks anyway." Hinata had a little smirk on her face, she acted all nice and upper-class but really she loved bending the rules every now and then.
"I like your thinking but I really just need to think and at the same time just forget about everything right now." Naruto didn't want to be forced into a decision about Natsu or Kiba, he wanted the answer to just...come to him.
"Right, you, me, Sakura, Ino, Sasuke, and Shikamaru. The famous six on an early holiday to my summer home, how does that sound to you? Just think you can think on the beach while listening to the soft sounds of the sea, or you can get totally wasted in some club to the point that you won't be able to remember who Kiba or Natsu are, it'll be your choice." Hinata looked to her side and saw the amazing grin that was plastered on Naruto's face.
"It's perfect, think you can sort it out while I go explain this to Natsu and Kiba? It wouldn't be fair to just leave them here with no explanation, especially since Natsu doesn't even know what's going on." Hinata nodded as she watched Naruto run off quickly.
Naruto had given her more information on what happened than he intended to. He had said he needed to talk to Kiba and Natsu, so obviously it was about them however he also said that Natsu didn't know what was going on, and that lead to the conclusion that Kiba was the one who had set this whole thing into motion.
She could just confront Kiba and he would tell her what he'd done but she didn't particularly feel like nosing around in her little brother's personal life. He would tell her what had happened when he was ready. Anyway she didn't have time to think about this, she needed to contact her five friends and her father. With that thought on her mind Hinata sped off towards Sakura's class while tapping away on her phone getting everything ready.
Natsu was bored. He had spent the whole lesson worrying about Naruto and Kiba. He knew that Kiba liked Naruto and he was quite shocked at how oblivious his blonde seemed to be about the whole situation, but that wasn't what he was worried about. He was worried because Naruto had took off after Kiba and for some reason Natsu felt like if Kiba were to tell his blonde that he liked him, well he felt as though Naruto would leave him for Kiba.
He was now in the school dormitories texting Lucy and asking whether he should be worried or not, she said he was over thinking things but he wasn't so sure. Naruto had text him saying he would come round because they 'need to talk' and that sounded ominous to Natsu.
It was while Natsu was having these negative thoughts that the door to his apartment opened and he heard Naruto walking towards his room. He had given him a key after their first night together but it looked as though he would be getting it back a lot earlier than he expected. Naruto walked into his room and sat on the bed beside him.
"Hey" he looked like he was trying his best not to look at Natsu.
"Hey babe, what's up?" Natsu had gone to kiss his head but Naruto had pulled away, that act alone was enough to make Natsu feel that their relationship would be ending in moments.
"We really need to talk Natsu." Naruto kept looking down and refused to look up, and Natsu felt his temper start to boil up inside of him.
"Naruto if you're going to break up with me at least look at me while you're flipping doing it!"
Naruto's head snapped up at that comment, his eyes were wide with shock but Natsu couldn't tell if it was because of what he said or the aggressive tone in which he'd said it.
"I... I'm not breaking up with you; I'm just here to tell you that I'm going away for a bit so I can do some thinking." Naruto had returned to looking at his lap and Natsu felt a sigh slip form between his lips, mainly in relief that Naruto wasn't breaking up with him but it was partly frustration in that Naruto hadn't mentioned Kiba yet and he knew it had something to do with him.
"This is about Kiba isn't it?" Naruto reacted quickly his head snapping up and his eyes going wide, that was the only answer that Natsu really needed.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I know I'm dating you and I should just ignore the fact that he likes me and carry on with you but I just can't..." Naruto's eyes had returned to his lap and Natsu had enough, he grabbed Naruto's chin and pulled his face to his and placed a caring, gentle kiss on his lips.
"I love you." Natsu let out a sigh after he said it. "I just thought I should say that before you go and think about all this."
Natsu snuggled into Naruto's neck and kissed it before quickly standing and leaving the room. He couldn't be in the same room as Naruto knowing he might choose Kiba over him, the thought alone made his eyes start to water and he refused to cry in front of Naruto.
He heard the front door close and let out a sigh of relief; he'd text a goodbye later when he was in a more stable state of mind. He now would just have to wait and hope that Naruto chose him, and maybe he needed to avoid Kiba for a while, losing his temper and getting in a fight was the last thing he needed right now.
Naruto had sent a text to Kiba explaining everything, he couldn't face him after speaking with Natsu and he'd already had enough confessions for one day.
He really was looking forward to the vacation, Hinata's summer house was right by the beach and the town was always bustling with life, it was an excellent place to think as well and that was one thing he really needed to do a lot of right now.
He had already finished packing an hour ago, had set his alarm clock for when he needed to wake up, had already checked he had enough money and had informed Iruka of where he was going. Now he felt like he had nothing more to do and so he toppled into bed and tried falling to sleep.
After two hours of attempted sleep he gave up. All he could think about were Natsu and Kiba's faces saying that they loved him and picturing himself in relatively suggestive positions with both boys, once he had even thought about them both at the same time. He couldn't get them off his mind and he appeared to be nowhere near deciding on either one. After another hour of these thoughts Naruto collapsed onto his sofa and finally fell asleep deciding he would simply let his mind drift into whatever fantasy it wanted.
What his mind gave him was a fantasy alright, but it still didn't help him, he was supposed to choose one of the two, not dream about them both.
Update :- I am so sorry that this story is updating so slowly and I'm also sorry for this chapters epic shortness :P
I thought this would be much easier to write, however as i continue to write it further it just continues getting more and more difficult to write. So the updates will no doubt not be getting quicker any time soon, especially since I am now back at school :/
Once again I'm sorry for everything and I hope that you have enjoyed the story so far and will continue to enjoy it in the future.
