It was already noon before any of them had woken up. They were exhausted due to last night's actions and none of them actually woke up until 12:30 or so. They were still chained to each other and Naruto, who, despite having already woken up much earlier, woke up before Kiba , had to eventually push his lover into an awakened state.

- Kiba? Wake up. – he said.

- Oh, what. Last night was tiring, you know?... – said Kiba, running his hand through his hair.

- Yeah, I know. – N

- It's just…look, I lied. – K

- About what, Kiba? – N

- About having had sex with Hinata. – K

- Huh? – N

- I was a virgin. – K

- I don't care. We're going shopping, right? – N

- Yeah, sure. – K

- Uh, Kiba. I heard we have new neighbours. – N

- New neighbours? What? – K

- Yeah, Neji and Tenten moved in next to us. – N

- Those two? Oh god. – K

- What's the problem? - N

- It's Tenten. You'll see after a while. She's a totally different person now. – K

- Different how? – N

- Just don't worry about it…yet. – K

- Fine. Wanna go out? – N

- There's nothing else to do, now is there? – K

- Nope, not at all. Wanna go shopping for clothes? – N

- Clothes? Naruto, we're gay, but we don't have to pretend to like gay stuff… - K

- That's not what I meant! I don't have a tuxedo for the wedding. – N

- Oh, great. Just what I needed. – K

- What? – N

- I hate shopping for clothes. I also hate tuxedos. I only have one because my sister insisted on having me get one. – K

- Oh, it's not that bad. Come on. – N

- Oh, believe me, it's gonna cost ya. – K

- Eh? How much? – said Naruto, smiling.

- Just enough. About an ice-cream and cinema tickets should do it. – K

- I'm rich…so it's okay. – N

- Yeah right. You're also greedy, aren't you, Naru-chan? – K

- Well, uh, I… - N

- It's okay. Though, I could use some shopping for furniture and stuff. – K

- Why? – N

- I planned the house for one person only. So since you've moved in, we need to buy more things. Like an armchair, a bedside table, etc. - K

- Oh. Well… - N

- You're rich, aren't you? – K

- You screwed me up bigtime. – N

And they both laughed.

*At the shopping centre*

- Right, so, you go get the damn tuxedo, and I'll go pick out some furniture. – K

- Here's some cash. Bring some tasteful stuff, Kiba-kun. – said Naruto, handing over to Kiba just under 5000 ryo.

- Damn, you are rich… - K

- See ya. – N

- I'll see you back here in an hour. I'll need help carrying the damn IKEA tables and chairs. – K

- IKEA? Dude, you can afford better than that. – N

- I don't care, really. Just tell me one thing. Are you left-handed? – K

- Huh, what's that for? Yeah I am but…why? – N

- I just felt like asking. See ya. – K

And they went their separate ways for a while. Naruto went looking for a dark tuxedo, something that didn't look like he was being forced to wear. Kiba, on the other hand, went looking for furniture. After finding some cheap tables and housebound appliances he went to pay for it all and ended up with almost half the money he originally had.

- Wow, this actually is cheap…Well, I'm gonna be swimming in furniture for the next few days. What am I going to do with this money now?... Well, Naruto's birthday IS coming up… - K

Naruto was still trying on tuxedos.

- So, sir, what is the occasion? Are you getting married? – asked an old man.

- No, I'm just going to a marriage. – N

- Ah, I see. Informal, but not too much, then? – the man asked.

- Yes, indeed. – N

- I believe I have the perfect suit for you then. – said the old man. – Follow me.

The man showed Naruto a black suit with tiny white stripes here and there, as if trying to rebel against the fact that it was in fact a tuxedo.

- That'll be just fine. How much is it, then?

- Around three thousand Ryos. – he said.

- My god! You're lucky I can afford it… - N

Naruto left the store slightly indignated at the extremely high price of the damned piece of formal clothing.

And so, one hour later, they met back where they had started. Naruto with a suit in hand, and Kiba with a pile of boxes.

Look Naruto, can you take these to the car? – asked Kiba, as he handed him the keys to his sky blue Ford Fiesta.

- Sure mate…but why? – N

- I'm just going to check out something in here, I think I saw a friend of mine. – K

- What friend? – N

- Oh, nobody really. – K

- You're a terrible liar. – N

- I know. – K

- By the way, how much money do you have left? – N

- About 600 ryos. – Kiba lied.

- Oh okay. I'll see you in a while. – N

Kiba bolted back into the main corridor and quickly flipped through the stores while running until he found the store he was looking for. He stood there in the store, looking around in amazement at the wondrous amount of items they had showcased on the walls.

- Umm, can I talk to you? – he asked the store owner.

- Sure, what is it? – he said.

- Do you see that black one? The leftie one? – K

- Yes, it's one of our biggest sellers. – he answered.

- Great. Look, here's my address. Can you send it here and pleasemake sure it arrives on the tenth? – said Kiba, handing the man a piece of paper with his address written on it.

- Of course. That'll be 2200 ryos, please. –

- Darn! I'll have no money left. Oh whatever, uhmm, just make sure it gets there. – said Kiba, handing over the required amount to the store owner.

Then Kiba dashed off the store with a warranty paper, which he folded and stuffed in his pocket.

He met back with Naruto in the car.

- Hi, love. – N

- Hi, Naur-chan. – K

- So, got my money? – N

- Aghh, yeah. I spent some of it back there. – K

- Only 150 ryos? I'm not a charity fund, you know? – N

- Let it pass, will you? – K

Naruto pecked him on the lips.

- Sure, my little angel. – N

- What's with the sudden affection? – K

- Just telling you I love you. Can't I do that? – N

- Sure. – K

- I got your cinema tickets, and the ice-cream will have to stay for later. Meanwhile, Tenten called, she asked us over for lunch. – N

- Lunch? Oh okay. – K

- I know you hate this kind of stuff. So I promise I'll make it up to you. – said Naruto, hugging Kiba from his seat.

- I know, Naru-chan, I know… - K

Kiba ran his hands through Naruto's hair and returned the hug.

- People are watching, Kiba-kun… - N

- Do we really care? – K

- No we don't. – N

And they kissed for the umpteenth time. Some passers-by gazed at them unapprovingly, as if they wanted to erase that moment.

«That's my boyfriend alright…», they both thought as they kissed…
