Matt loves his Seme.


"Oh boys~." Nana Val's voice called through the door along with a knock. "Time to get up. I want to get to the mall early."

Adrian groaned and snuggled more into Kiba's neck. Kiba rubbed his closed eyes with the back of his fist, yawning. "Alright." He called to the woman. He could hear her footsteps as she walked away. "Adrian." He shook the boy's bare pale shoulder lightly.

Adrian groaned once again, shifting his hips closer to Kiba's thigh. It was then that the brunette realized something was poking his thigh. He froze, not sure what to do or say. Obviously, Adrian was unaware of his problem as he moved closer, nuzzling his nose against Kiba's neck.

"Adrian." He whispered softly, bringing his hand up to run his fingers through the soft black hair. "You have... a little problem."

The boy shifted, lifting his head slightly to look at Kiba. "What?" He mumbled.

Kiba couldn't say it. Because saying it would be admitting it was really happening. So he pointed down, causing Adrian to tilt his head in confusion. "Down there."

Adrian blinked and leaned back so he could look down. Immediately he realized that problem and pushed away from Kiba. "Oh my god!" His face turned a bright red that Kiba had never seen before. "Ah, I'm sorry!" He jumped out of bed before rushing into the bathroom and slamming the door shut.

Kiba laid there a little stunned. He blinked and sat up, staring at the bathroom door. He tossed the covers off him and slipped out of the bed. His bare feet padded across the hardwood floor as he made his way to the bathroom door. "Adrian?" He knocked, hearing water running. "Are you okay?"

"Yes!" Adrian said through the door. "I'm just going to take a shower to um..." His voice lowered so Kiba couldn't hear him.

The brunette was tempted to go in there anyway and help the boy. But he knew he shouldn't. He placed his hand against the wooden door. "Alright." He called to Adrian before forcing himself to turn away and go to his suitcase. The boy was embarrassed enough. Kiba didn't want to make it any worse.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Adrian was panicked. He couldn't believe his body. Sure, waking up with morning wood was normal for a boy his age. But still! Why did it have to be when he spent the night with Kiba? He knew why, he just didn't want to admit it.

Oh, he remembered the dream he was having before Nana Val woke them up. He remembered every detail. Down to the beads of sweat covering Kiba's face.

Adrian squeaked and buried his face in his hands, leaning back against the shower wall. The cold water sprayed his body, causing him to shiver. He couldn't help the thoughts running through his head. They just kept coming.

He whined and turned up the cold water. His pale body started to shiver more but he didn't care. He tried thinking of other things. Anything other than Kiba above him. But nothing worked. His stiff member just stared at him like it was laughing.

He couldn't touch it. He wouldn't touch it. But he found his hand slowly making its way down there. He was doomed alright.


Kiba had gotten dressed and went downstairs to spare Adrian any extra embarrassment. He tried not to think about what the boy could possibly be doing in the shower when he walked into the kitchen. Nana Val was setting down two plates of food at the island when he walked in. Akamaru and Mimi were chasing each other around the stools at the island.

"Good morning!" She said brightly when she noticed him. "Sleep well?"

"Good morning." He gave her a soft smile. "I did."

"Good." She glanced behind him. "Where's Adrian?"

"In the shower."

"Ah." Nana Val nodded and motioned for him to come sit down. "Eat up before it gets cold. Adrian shouldn't be much longer."

Kiba nodded and did as told. Though he was unsure if Nana Val was right about how long it would take Adrian. He had a feeling his shower would take longer than normal. At the thought, he shoved eggs into his mouth to try and not in vision it.

He was done eating by the time Adrian finally walked into the kitchen. The boy had a soft blush on his cheeks which spiked Nana Val's curiosity.

"What took you so long?" She asked him, placing a new hot plate of food beside Kiba for him.

Adrian shrugged, moving to sit beside Kiba. "I was dirty."

She eyed him before shrugging and leaving to go get her things.

Adrian just stared at his food, not able to make eye contact with Kiba. He was beyond embarrassed and even more so because he just knew Kiba knew what took so long in the shower. His hands fisted on his knees as he practically glared at his food.

Kiba watched the boy, slightly amused. He glanced at the doorway before leaning over and kissing the boy's flushed cheek. Adrian's head snapped up and he stared at Kiba with wide eyes. The brunette smirked and leaned forward, ghosting his lips over Adrian's.

"You should have let me helped you." He whispered before connecting their lips.

Adrian whined softly in the back of his throat, his face flushing to life. Kiba was starting to like the color on the boy's pale cheeks. Though he was embarrassed, Adrian returned the kiss before pulling away earlier than Kiba wanted. "You're a perv."

"No, I just know what I want." He nuzzled his nose against Adrian's cheek. "I know you're embarrassed, but don't be." He moved his lips to whisper in Adrian's ear. "I've done it to while thinking of you."

Adrian squeaked, nearly falling off his stool to pull back enough to look at Kiba with a shocked face. "Kiba!"

The brunette laughed at his reaction. "What?"

"You? And I? And..." He trailed off with wide eyes not able to form a coherent sentence.

Kiba continued to chuckle, leaning forward to peck Adrian's stunned lips. "You're too cute."

The raven haired boy pouted, crossing his arms over his chest. "You're so perverted."

"Adrian!" Nana Val exclaimed, walking into the kitchen. Both boys froze and turned to her, wondering how long she had been there. "You haven't eaten yet?" She half-glared at him. "Eat your breakfast already so we can leave."

"I'm not hungry." He managed to say.

She sighed. "Fine. Come on. Let's go before all the good stuff is gone." She threw her coat on while leaving the room.

Adrian jumped off the stool, watching Kiba. "Did you really think about me?"

Kiba smirked, nodding. "Of course. Who else would I think about?"

Adrian's face flushed before he followed after his Nana. Kiba shook his head, amused then followed after them.


"Alright boys." Nana Val said as she closed the car door. "Adrian, I know what you like, but Kiba? You're gonna have to help me."

The two glanced at each other. "You don't have to get me anything, Val." Kiba said a little embarrassed.

"Nonsense!" She led them toward the huge, packed mall. "Now, I know Adrian loves clothes and would be happy with that." She started digging through her purse. "What about you Kiba?"

The brunette shook his head as his hand slipped out to grab Adrian's. "I just received new clothes."

Adrian jumped when Kiba's warm hand grabbed his cool one but he didn't fight it. He smiled at the brunette and linked their fingers together.

Nana Val hummed, noticing their hand holding and giving them a smile. "Then what do you like Kiba?"

The brunette shrugged. He wasn't used to people giving him things. "Adrian."

The raven haired boy blinked tilting his head, thinking Kiba called him. Nana Val's smile grew. "I see." She nodded, thinking while leading the boys inside the mall. "Where to first?"

"It doesn't matter Nana."

The blonde woman looked them over while stopping. "Hm." She eyed Adrian's outfit before looking Kiba's over. "You need color in your wardrobe." She nodded. "Come on." She started walking again, the boys following behind her.

"Nana, I have color." Adrian and Kiba caught up to her, now walking in sync beside her.

"Red is not color. You need more than that. I know you like green. How about that?" She asked, tapping a finger to her chin.

"They don't make good green clothes." Adrian crinkled his nose at the thought.

"I'm sure they do. You just haven't been to the right stores." She stopped in front of an American Eagle. "How about here?"

Adrian's eyes widened. "No, Nana. That place is too preppy for me."

"Nonsense!" She grinned at him before going inside. Adrian grumbled before following after his grandmother, tugging Kiba along.

That's how it went. Nana Val would drag Adrian and Kiba into some store they had never been inside and Adrian would actually find something he wanted. He was loyal to Tripp and Hot Topic but he had to admit some of the "preppier" stories had some nice things. Like Cool Topic. Adrian ended up with six new belts that were freaking awesome from that store.

A little bit before lunch time, Nana Val slipped into a store neither boy thought she would go into. At first, Adrian thought she was going in for herself, or for one of her granddaughters. But those thoughts made him shiver with disgust and just stand outside the store with Kiba.

People passed by, once again staring at them. They were starting to get used to it. All day people stared at them. The only time their hands weren't together was when Adrian was being forced to try something on. They got looks from sales people and shoppers and Adrian was so tempted to flip them off. But he never did. For some reason, his temper was better controlled with Kiba around.

Maybe it was the warmth of the other male's hand grasping his. Or the way Kiba would glare at anyone who gave them a wrong look. Or when Kiba would lean in close and give him a kiss below his ear when Nan Val wasn't looking. Or maybe it was the combination of everything. Adrian wasn't sure. But he loved it.

"Are you two coming?" Nana Val asked, standing in the doorway of the store.

Adrian blinked at her. "Are you serious?"

She nodded, placing a hand on her hip. "You used to love to dress up when you were little."

"That was when I was little!" Adrian stared at her like she was crazy.

"Aw, come on Adrian. Let me dress you up! Even if it's just for fun!" She smiled at Kiba. "I'm sure he won't mind."

Adrian looked up at Kiba, pleadingly. The brunette swallowed hard and wanted to take his boyfriend's side. He really did. But the prospect of seeing Adrian dressed up was too much to pass by. "I don't mind."

Adrian half glared at him, feeling betrayed. "Kiba!"

The brunette shrugged and watched as Nana Val grabbed Adrian's hand and tugged him into the store. Kiba chuckled lightly, looking up at the neon sign above the door. "Lolita" was all it said. Kiba raised an eyebrow at it before going inside.

The store was huge. Full of big puffy, frilly outfits. Dresses mainly. Kiba found it hard to believe that Adrian was actually into that kind of stuff. But then again, there was still a lot about the boy he didn't know. He ran a hand through his naturally spiky hair and tried to find the two. It took him a while, since the store was so huge and like a maze, but he found them. But he was frozen in his tracks at what he saw.

Adrian was standing there in front of a three way mirror with Nana Val in front of him, fixing the dress he was wearing. Kiba couldn't move. He was speechless. Adrian looked amazing! He was wearing a knee length dress that was a bright green with white lace. The sleeves were long and curled around his fingers. Kiba had never seen anything like it. The chest piece was like a corset but came up to his neck, criss-crossing with strings. He just stared at Adrian. The boy had yet to notice he was there and was fussing over the dress with his Nana.

What got to Kiba the most of the soft blush on Adrian's pale cheeks.

"Ah, Kiba!" Nana Val noticed him and pulled him toward Adrian. "What do you think?"

Adrian's face caught on fire and Kiba had to look away at the thoughts running through his head. "He looks nice."

"Nice? That's all?" Nana Val crossed her arms over her chest and looked the brunette up and down. Kiba had a nice blush of his own on his cheeks and was shifting uncomfortably. A grin snaked to her lips. "Ah, I see."

Adrian's hands fisted at his sides. "See Nana? He doesn't like it. He can't even look at me. So can I take this off now?"

"Sure, sure." She waved a hand at him, still looking at Kiba. Adrian raised an eyebrow at her before hurrying off to the dressing room to take the stupid dress off. "You do like that, don't you?"

Kiba shifted his eyes to hers. "You're evil, you know that?"

She laughed, the smile not leaving her face. "I wanted to know how you would react. Besides, he always looks so damn cute in those things."

"You always take him here?"

"Every Christmas. I buy him one every Christmas too. Since he was twelve. He hasn't shown you?" Nana Val tilted her head at him.

"No." He shook his head. "I'm sure he's too embarrassed to. He likes this kinda stuff?" Kiba motioned to the dresses.

"He does. But he's never had anyone to dress up for. Now he does but he's too embarrassed."

"Oh my god! You're so cute!"

The two blinked at the voice and looked around to see Adrian cornered by a boy about his age. Kiba raised an eyebrow at this since Adrian was still in the dress. Adrian was pressed back against the door of his dressing room, staring at the boy with wide eyes.

"You look amazing!" The boy hopped a little on front of him.

Adrian's cheeks were still flushed as he looked the boy over with wide green eyes. "Uh." He swallowed hard. "Thanks?"

"I'm Izzy!" He grinned at him.

Adrian blinked at the green haired boy. "Adrian."

"I'm not brave enough to try something on like that. But you look so cute." Izzy turned his head to look over his shoulder. "Hey Jaden!" Adrian stiffened at the name. "Over here." He waved his hand in the air to some tall brunette looking at a rack of blue dresses.

The man raised an eyebrow and walked over to them, his eyes locked on Adrian. "Sup?"

"Look at him!" Izzy grinned at the taller male. "Isn't he adorable? What do you think if I wore something like this?" He tugged at the material of Adrian's skirt. The raven haired boy's blush darkened when Izzy's hand brushed against his leg.

Jaden looked him up and down, a soft smirk appearing on his lips. "If you wore something like that, we'd never leave the house."

Izzy giggled and playfully smacked the taller's arm. "Jaden! You're such a perv."

Adrian was at a complete loss as to what to do. Jaden was looking at him like he wanted to eat him while Izzy was completely oblivious to this fact. Also, for some reason, he felt he knew Jaden. "Um, I'm gonna change now."

"Aw, really?" Izzy stared at him with glistening blue eyes. "Do you have to?"

He shrugged. "My boyfriend doesn't like it."

Izzy gasped. "Oh really? How can he not?"

"I never said I didn't like it." Kiba's rough voice grumbled as he appeared beside him.

Adrian jumped and looked up at the brunette. Kiba was half glaring at Jaden earning a glare in return. "Either way, I'm changing." Adrian said with a nod before spinning around and entering the dressing room.

"Oh my! Jaden Marvel? Is that you?" Nana Val exclaimed as she came rushing toward them.

Jaden blinked and turned to look at her, smiling when he realized who she was. "Nana Val?" He laughed and held his arms out to her.

Nana Val grinned and jumped into the tall man's arms, hugging him tightly. "Oh I haven't seen you in years!"

The dark haired man smiled and hugged her tightly. "It's been a while."

Kiba and Izzy glanced at each other like they would know what was going on. Neither one did.

Nana Val pulled back, smiling up at the man. "What brings you back here? I thought you were in Washington for college."

"I was. I came home for Christmas though." Jaden blinked, remembering something. He grabbed Izzy's arm and pulled him to his side. "This is Izzy. My boyfriend."

"Uh, Hi." Izzy said shyly, waving his hand.

Nana Val's eyes brightened as she looked the cute little boy over. "Oh! Adorable! I'm Nana Val." She winked at him. "I've known Jaden since he was a little thing."

Izzy smiled at her and Jaden glanced at Kiba. "Is he with you?"

Nana Val blinked and nodded. "Yes. He's Adrian's boyfriend." Jaden stiffened at the name but Nana Val didn't notice since she turned around to tug Kiba forward. Kiba and Izzy, however, noticed his stiffness. "This is Kiba. Kiba, this is Jaden. He was Adrian's first boyfriend."

"Not really." Jaden shrugged. "We weren't really together."

"Sure you were! You spent practically every day together when he came to visit every summer."

Something then seemed to dawn on Jaden. "Wait... That..." He pointed at the dressing room door with wide eyes. "Was Adrian?"

"Yup!" Nana Val grinned. "Beautiful, isn't he?"

Jaden nodded, not really able to speak. Izzy poked his boyfriend's arm, a pout on his lips. "You never told me about Adrian."

Kiba glanced between them before looking at the dressing room door as it opened. Adrian never mentioned Jaden either. He was under the impression that they boy never had a boyfriend. He was a little upset at first but remembered he was hiding his own secrets from Adrian. So the tiny anger slipped away when the boy stepped out.

Adrian smiled up at Kiba, happy to be in normal clothes. Kiba's eyes locked with his and he knew everything was okay. Or he thought so. He followed Kiba's eyes to look at the two boys who were standing with Nana Val. He titled his head at this and stepped forward, Kiba trailing behind him.

"Nana?"

Nana Val blinked and turned to her grandson, a huge smile on her lips. "Adrian, you remember Jaden don't you?" She wrapped an arm around his shoulders, bring him to her side so he could get a good look at Jaden.

Adrian narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to remember. "Um..."

"Jaden Marvel. You two spent all summer together when you would come down. Remember?"

Adrian froze. He remembered all right. Jaden was the last person he expected to see here. The last person he really wanted to see. Jaden looked as uncomfortable as he did. "Yea. I remember." His voice was dripping with venom, causing Jaden to flinch slightly.

"You two have so much to catch up on! It's been... what? Three years?"

Adrian glared at the tall brunette from his past. "Yea. Three years. And I have nothing to say to him." He growled before walking away.

The others stared at him as he walked away. Nana Val and Izzy were confused while Jaden knew exactly what was going on. Kiba was confused too but he could tell something wasn't right. He went to follow after Adrian but Jaden held his hand up to Kiba earning a fierce glare from the brunette.

"Let me talk to him, okay?"

Kiba didn't like that. Not at all. He was protective of Adrian and whoever this guy was, they had a past. A past that didn't seem pleasant. But Nana Val placed her hand on Kiba's arm.

"Let him." She said softly. Kiba stepped back, a little pissed off but let Jaden go after the boy.

Adrian was grumbling to himself as he walked away from the store. He knew he was acting stupid. He left poor Kiba all alone and confused. He smacked his forehead and slipped into the hallway where the bathrooms were. There were less people there so he leaned back against the fake stone wall, his head in his hands. He was being ridiculous. He knew that. But he couldn't help the suppressed pain that surfaced when he realized who Jaden was.

"Adrian." The voice was soft and reserved, like the person was expecting to get yelled at.

Adrian sighed and leaned his head back against the wall, glanced at Jaden from the corner of his eye. "I have nothing to say to you."

Jaden sighed softly, moving to lean against th wall beside Adrian. He kept a good foot distance between them but it was too close to Adrian's liking. "I know you have plenty to say to me." His bright blue eyes stayed locked on the grey tiled floor in front of him. "I'm an asshole. A jerk. A selfish bastard who only gives a damn about himself. Am I missing anything?"

Adrian hummed, crossing his arms over his chest. "You're an idiot too."

Jaden smiled softly. "Yea, a huge one."

They were quiet for a while, just watching the people pass them by. Adrian sighed softly, sick of the silence. "Why'd you do it Jaden?"

The dark hair man had expected that question but he really didn't have an answer. Not a good one anyway. "I was scared."

"And you don't think I was?" Adrian's voice was sharp. "You terrified me Jaden. I had never felt that way before."

Jaden leaned his head back, staring up at the ceiling. "I know."

"I loved you." His voice was soft, almost broken.

He winced at the voice, knowing he was the cause of Adrian's pain. "I was stupid and selfish. I couldn't admit to myself that I loved you too. I couldn't risk my parents figuring out I was..."

"Gay?" Adrian spat the word, pushing off the wall. "Well you are. I knew it then and I know it now. Izzy's your boyfriend!" His voice was rising, his anger and pain starting to seep out. "What did he do that I didn't?"

"It's not like that." Jaden said, pushing off the wall to look at Adrian. "I was sixteen, Adrian. I've grown up since then. I realized how stupid I was acting."

Adrian growled, annoyed. "Yea, well good for you."

"I'm sorry. Really, I am."

"You know what?" Adrian glared harshly at him. "I don't care. I don't want to know why or anything." He held his hand up when Jaden went to speak. "You broke my heart. But I've moved on. So have you. Let's leave it at that." He moved to walk past Jaden but the man grabbed his arm, stopping him.

"Don't do this Adrian."

The raven haired boy hissed. "Let go of me."

"Don't walk away."

"You had no problem doing it to me." His voice dripped with hate as he glared at the older man. Jaden's hand released Adrian's arm at his words. Adrian gave him one last glare before walking away from him much like the man had done to him three years before.

Adrian lost a good bit of his anger though when he saw Kiba walking toward him. He bit his lower lip, feeling his eyes start to sting. He wouldn't cry. Not in front of Kiba. The brunette immediately wrapped him in a tight hug, causing Adrian to almost lose it. He buried his head in Kiba's chest, basking in the warmth and comfort.

"Kiba..." He mumbled.

The brunette pulled back, shaking his head. "You don't have to explain anything to me."

A lump formed in Adrian throat as he nodded. He hadn't thought about Jaden in a long time and he had almost forgotten what it felt like. The pain of rejection and heartbreak. He swallowed hard and looked around. "Where's Nana?"

"She said she needed to do some personal shopping." Kiba shrugged, raised his hand to cup Adrian's cheek. "You okay?"

He shook his head, not wanting to lie to his boyfriend. "I will be though."

Kiba nodded before leaning down to place a soft kiss to the boy's shaking lips. "Okay." Adrian sniffed, blushing slightly. Kiba smiled at him, brushing his thumb over Adrian's flushed cheek. "Val said she'd meet us in the food court when she was done."

Adrian nodded, taking his boyfriend's hand and starting to lead him there. "What does she need to buy?"

"She didn't say. She was a little secretive about it."

Adrian hummed in thought, focusing on Kiba. He wouldn't let Jaden get to him. Not today. Not ever. Not when he had Kiba. "So, why couldn't you look at me?"

Kiba raised an eyebrow and looked at his boyfriend. "Hm?"

"When I was wearing that dress."

"Oh." The brunette shifted his eyes away from Adrian's. "I just... Well, you looked so cute in it. I was afraid that if I looked too long I'd jump you." He said with a shrug.

Adrian almost stopped in his tracks at Kiba's words. "Seriously?" He looked at him like he had two heads.

Kiba chuckled softly, slipping his hand out of Adrian's to wrap his arm around the boy's shoulders. "Yea."

"You... like stuff like that?"

Kiba nodded. "On you I do."

Adrian blinked, his blush becoming darker. "I... have other dresses."

"Maybe you'll show me sometime?" Kiba sounded hopeful.

"Okay..." Kiba smiled and leaned down to press a kiss to Adrian's temple.


"Boys~." Nana Val called before they could go upstairs. "I'm going to need your help tomorrow. I have to make cookies and cakes for the church's Christmas Pageant."

Adrian stared at his Nana, one foot on the step and his hand on the railing. "Okay."

"Good night!" She waved at them before disappearing into the kitchen. Adrian glanced at Kiba who just shrugged and nudged Adrian up the stairs. The raven haired boy grinned at him before making his way up the stairs.

It was pretty late, around ten, and they had just arrived home from a day full of shopping. After lunch, Nana Val continued to drag them all over the mall. Their feet were tired and they were just exhausted. The woman sure knew how to shop.

Adrian sighed as he plopped down onto the bed. He lay on his stomach and cuddled up into his pillow, kicking his shoes off onto the floor. Kiba watched him, amused before lying down beside him, on his back. He linked his fingers behind his head and used them like a pillow as he stared up at the ceiling.

"Kiba." Adrian spoke after a while of comfortable silence.

"Hm?"

He lifted up on his elbows, staring at his pillow. "I... About Jaden..."

Kiba blinked and turned on his side to look at his boyfriend. Adrian was staring at the pillow, unshed tears in his eyes. "You don't have to tell me."

"But I should. Because you deserve to know." He clasped his hands in front of him tightly. "Jaden was my first love."

Kiba assumed as much and was curious to know the story behind them. He scooted a little closer to the boy, letting his hand rest on the small of Adrian's back. The boy glanced at him from the corner of his eye, a soft smile on his lips.

Feeling reassured, Adrian swallowed hard, shifting his eyes to his hands. "Jaden use to live next door to Nana. He grew up there. I've been coming here every summer for as long as I could remember. And every summer was spent with him. We were like best friends." Adrian's voice was soft and Kiba could hear the hint of pain in it. "But... See, Jaden's older than me. Not by much. Only two years. But enough. He developed before me and realized things about himself before me. When I came back that summer... I was fourteen. I knew by then that I was gay. And I knew I liked Jaden." He shook his head. "No, I loved him."

Kiba listened intently, rubbing Adrian's back in a soothing manner.

"Jaden loved me too. He had been my first kiss when I was nine. He had liked me since then. I liked him too but I was too young to understand what that meant. I told him how I felt that summer. At first, everything was okay. He retuned my feelings and things went back to normal. Almost... I knew Jaden wanted me. And I had no problem in giving him just that." He swallowed hard, feeling the pain of rejection coming back.

Kiba narrowed his eyes slightly, moving a little closer. The pain in Adrian's voice was starting to worry him.

"But when I offered... He freaked. Literally." He closed his eyes tightly. "I don't remember exactly what he said. Something about not being that gay. I was so confused cause he told me he loved me. When I asked him why he just... walked away." Tears started to leak through Adrian's tightly closed eyes. "That was the last time I saw him."

Kiba slipped his arm under Adrian's light body and pulled the boy to his side. Adrian quickly cuddled up to him, burying his head in Kiba's tanned neck. Kiba could feel the wetness on his neck and glared at the ceiling. He knew he didn't like Jaden for a reason. That man broke his Adrian's heart.

"I was devastated at first." Adrian mumbled into his neck. "I stopped coming to spend the summer here after that. I just couldn't face him. But I got over it over time. I just... seeing him again today... I didn't expect it. And everything just came flooding back."

Kiba nodded, understanding, and pulled Adrian closer. "He didn't deserve you."

Adrian laughed lightly, nuzzling his face into Kiba's neck. "Kiba?"

"Yes?"

"I like you. I really do."

Kiba's heart raced at the boy's words and a warm feeling rushed over his body. He smiled softly and used his free hand to link his fingers together with Adrian's hand that was resting on his stomach. Adrian grasped his hand tightly.

"I really like you too."

He felt Adrian smile against his neck and place a kiss there. "Good."

Kiba's smile grew and they stayed like that for a while longer. Kiba was too deep in thought to notice Adrian snuggle closer, his breathing even. The brunette was thinking about telling Adrian one of his secrets. Since the boy had just told him something about his past, Kiba felt it was fair to tell Adrian about his past. Atleast something relating to it.

He was about to tell Adrian when he noticed the boy was fast asleep against him. Kiba sighed softly, placing a kiss to the boy's temple before cuddling closer to him and closing his eyes. It could wait one more day. For now, he would stay with Adrian till the boy didn't want him anymore. Though he was sure no matter what he told Adrian, the boy wouldn't leave him. And of course, he was right.


Yea, that's right. Next chapter you find out Kiba's secrets. Well, only a few. Like why he's homeless and what he's keeping from Adrian. His really huge secret? Yea, you gotta wait a few more parts for that. Hehehe. I'm so evil.

Ah, and about the dress thing? That happened to me. Most embarrassing thing to ever happen. Jaden's mother wanted to see me in one of those dresses and boom. Right in front of Jaden. And she freaking bought it for me too! -grumbles- So, I figured, I'd put it in the story since this is loosely based off my life. Besides... I like dressing up...

Jaden? Yea, the character was based off of the real guy. My ex. Why did I put him in there? I'm not sure. It just kinda happened. Totally wasn't planned. But it fit, no? Lets you in on Adrian's life a little. And like Adrian, I'm resentful toward the guy as well.

I'm not that pleased with this chapter. I wrote it like three different times and each time I hated it. So this is the one that was the least messed up. I just feel like it doesn't flow that well... -shrugs- idk. I hope you guys liked it.

OMG! I have to tell you readers about my dream last night! It was so weird but amazing! I was Adrian okay? And like, I was getting all ready for something. A wedding. Who's wedding? MY WEDDING! I was in a freaking wedding dress! And Gaara was my bride's maid. I swear. He was in a dress too! A bright green one that looked so good on him! It was so weird though. Cause when I was finally walking down the isle, I saw people from real life. My friends, family and stuff. Like Andy, Shane, Jess and even freaking Stephanie was there! But also people from this story! Naruto characters! And when I got to the end, who was standing there? KIBA! Looking all handsome in his tux. -smiles- and Naruto was beside him as the best man! And Kakashi was the preacher... Idk why Kakashi was there... but he was. Until I saw Kiba I didn't realize my dream was based off of Homeless. It was crazy! Cause it was so real. Like, people were in cosplay and stuff. And my dress? Omg my dress. So freaking pretty~. It felt so real and amazing. I mean, I have always dreamed of having a cosplay wedding. I figured I'd dress as Sasuke cause I look good as him. When Jaden and I were together we planned that. He'd be Naruto. But that never happened. I still want that though. But I never planned on wearing a wedding dress... That's why the dream was so weird.

Right, so now I want to write that. I might at the end of Homeless. Maybe do a one-shot sequel of it. Crap... I just gave away the ending... Kinda. Haha.

Anyway!

Please review! Review means Gaara's cookies!
