A/N: Hey guys! I'm very very very very sorry that I haven't been updating. At all. Well, I know it's really late, like 2 months late, but I sure hope it's a good read! It's worth it! Thanks! (I've been busy, dealing with school, knowledge bowl, activities, friends' crisis's, and grandma in rehab. Soooo… that's my excuse:D)
Kiba—
RIIIINNGGGGG-
Bell rang. Monkeys out in the jungle. Lockers slam shut, the whole school on a buzz for 5 minutes. The air rushes past me as I try to push my way through the crowds to get to my locker for my next class.
Ino shows up in front of me and she looks like she's been crying. A lot. So I just stand there, and take her over towards a group of lockers. I put my arm around her, and ask what's wrong.
"everyone's so f-cking full of bullsh-t…" she said as her tears drowned out her words. People walked by like nothing happened.
"Well, what happened?" I say, kinda worried at the rate she's going.
"Boys are so stupid. You should know that. I mean, I try to be myself, and let people just like me, but they always come up and f-cking stab me in the back. They go around spreading these rumors saying that I'm fake and I'm trying to fit in, and that I'm only changing because I want to be a real girl. It's horrible." She says, and this time I think she needs a full hug.
I hug her tightly, and say this;
"well, let's change that. I'll help you." I look at my watch. 10:59. This is a little more important than English class.
The people start filtering out of the hallway, and soon there are only two people trying to get their broken locks on their lockers to open.
"So… What do you want to be?" I ask her, trying to see why she wants to even change in the first place. She's got everything I could ask for.
"Well, I want to be more down to earth. I want to be smarter, and not just be some boy's toy. Not someone who only is popular for what they look like… right?" her tears are stopping, but the lines of water are still there.
"well then… I've never had to do this… hmmm…" I really wanted to help out. "Well, I can't help you with being smarter, I'm no math tutor," I laughed and shake my head. "But I think I can help you be more down to earth and be just a better person in general." I say with a little hint of enthusiasm in my voice.
"Really? You can do that?" she looks up at me with puppy dog eyes. Hell with it. I'll help her.
"Really." I reply. "First off, you're going to have to ditch those 'friends' of yours. They are all horrible when it comes to morals—
"But I love them! They're my life!" she blurts out cutting me off mid sentence.
"That's the problem. They are your life. Stop hanging around with those people. Their always people that just care about themselves. Not others. They pretend to be your friends and soul mates, and then they play you like a game of baseball. Just how it works." I stare blankly. I can see it hit home. More like a homerun. She begins welting up with tears again, and one pours out. She's an emotional train wreck waiting to happen.
"I know… I'm so stupid!" Her sadness quickly turned to anger. I was soon pushed away, and she punched the locker. With the punch she falls to her knees. She is on a freaking emotional roller coaster. I pick her up and shake her shoulders.
"Don't worry!" I say, trying to calm her down. "You're not that type of person. I know you aren't." I said, directly into her blue eyes. She has the best eyes I've ever seen.
"Thanks." She said, in a daze, and she moved her hand to pull the hair out of her face. "I'm going to go to class." She said coldly, turning away.
"Are you sure? We can talk some more you know!" I said, reaching my hand up.
"No." She said. More cold than the time before. I have no idea what has gotten into her. What the hell…
I've never been more disappointed in a conversation… I swear…
Naruto— After School
"Well well well… look what the faggot brought in." said some sinister guys, dressed in piercing and homemade tattoos. I knew it was a bad idea to tell my even one of my neighbors I was gay.
"Leave me alone.." I said turning back down the alley, not being able to get to my front door.
"Why? Is the fag-boy afraid of getting a hard on?" Said the buff-meathead.
"leave me A-L-O-N-E… I just want to go home…" I was starting to get angry. I've been through a fucked up day trying to avoid Kiba, the last thing I need is some homophobic bullies stopping me from getting home.
"Mmm no. Why don't you cry to your boyfriend and ask him to blow you?" these guys are pushing me. Farther… and farther…
"FUCK OFF." I shouted in a demonic voice. The guys' faces that were once grimaces were now timid. I slam my way through the three of them and bolt to my door. I expected them to come back behind me, so I take the deadbolt, and slam it shut. Locked. I slam my body against the door and hope for it not to break in. I wait a minute, then slide down on my back pressed against the door. Damnit, I miss Kiba.
Kiba—
I walk up to Naruto's door, with the barred windows next to the handle of the door. The paint was peeling off, and the entire building was crumbling, cracks in the foundation, steam coming out of a manhole just across the alley. This place is a mess. So are most of the people in my life right now. Ino. And now I've not even been able to see Naruto today. So I knock on the door and wait on the unsatisfactory porch.
He opens the door and leaves the chain up. "What do you want?" he said in a cold, dark voice. This was a different side of him than I've seen. Ever.
"Mmmm... I came over to see you?" I said, trying to probe at whatever is wrong. "Please unlock the door." I say, putting my hand on the side of the thin door.
"fine." I hear a few cracks, locks, and stocks, and the door swings fully open. He looked like he's been crying for hours. He had an even more hysterical face than Ino did. I don't know why, but my life is going down the tubes. Fast.
"hey, there there… what's wrong?" I say, putting my hand around him, showing that I cared. Cause I really do. He means the world to me. And right about now I don't know if he feels the same way the way he's acting.
"Get away from me." He said, shrugging off my hand, turning around to go back inside. What? Yesterday he was kissing me in a pool, now he's just moping around to the extent of kicking me to the curb? What?
"Well then…. Ok…. Can I come in then?" I say, looking up and seeing a rain cloud coming our way.
"Sure." He said, not turning back to face me. He plops down on the couch, falls on his side, brings his knees up, and lies down like he was going to take a nap.
"Well… Why are you so cranky today?" I say, genuine. There is something that I'm not getting here.
"I know what you've been doing, you little prick." He says, staring blankly at the TV, but just from his voice I can tell he's getting angry.
"What? What have I been doing?" I stand up, grab the remote, and turn down the volume. This is our time. Not the TV's.
"I know that you love someone else instead of me. Just go be with them if you're happy. You don't have to make me miserable." He said, back in a sad voice, and I could see his bright blue eyes cloud up.
"What are you talking about… I don't love anyone other than you…" I say, in a sincere voice, softly, and my head pointed at his spotty carpet.
"Shut up! Enough of this bullcrap! I know you still have feelings for Ino! She's the one for you. I'm not. You can go be straight if you want, but you don't have to make a fool out of me too!" He said in a big mouthful, angry, and he stood up, almost getting in my face.
"WHAT?" I was shocked. Then it all made sense. "Are you kidding me? She's just a friend. A bitchy friend, but still, just a friend. I was hugging her in the locker room because honestly, she was having a mental breakdown. It was horrible. And today before 3rd period, she had another. I was there for both of them. I'm the only support she's got. I love you, Naruto. I really do. But if you think I would just go around and do that to other people, you've got the wrong guy. I'm the guy who wants to be with guys. I'm the guy that wants to be with YOU. Not Neji, not Choji. You. So if you want this, you have to drop that judgmental mindset right now. Or else I'm walking right out of that door." I said completely full of emotions. Tons of emotions; Sadness, for him thinking I would cheat, and also Anger because of the same reason.
He was choked up. He had that sorrowful look on his face, which was obliviously sorry that he even spoke.
"I'm sorry… So, So, Sorry. Kiba. I love you. It's been a hell of a day, watching out for you, trying to avoid you, and trying to not be next to you. I didn't know. I know that I was wrong. And I was. I love you so much; It was just hard to not even think about you. I was inside English, and the teacher's mouth was moving, but I couldn't hear anything. All I was thinking about was you flirting with Ino, or some other guy. That's all I could see. I am so sorry… Will you ever forgive me?" He said, with his clouded blue eyes staring straight into mine. His bottom lip was quivering, and he was on the verge of crying.
"I will love you forever and ever Naruto. I swear to god I will." As I threw my arms around him and gave him the best damn hug a guy could give; One from me.
