He was confused when he noticed how damn alone he felt when Kiba had left. That horrible empty feeling, eating him from the inside.
Kankurou had enjoyed that moment on that roof, and actually, he had settled with the fact he liked Kiba that way.
It wasn't really a feeling of love. Not that Kankurou ever had felt love, or knew how it was to be in love. But there was this safe, comfortable feeling coming over him whenever he was with the Inuzuka.
They actually had some chances to be together before Kiba had to return to Konoha and it definetly had become easier to just kiss eachother. It wasn't taking that much thought anymore, it just felt good. Kankurou liked Kiba's attention. Not that he would ever admit that, but despite Kiba's wild nature, the boy actually managed to be patient and calm to him.
----------------------------------------------------
Kiba felt completely at ease. A faint triumphant smile was visible on his face the entire time when his teammates and him travelled back to Konoha. Hinata was completely clueless about the current situation, but Shino immediately saw through him, like he always did.
"You shouldn't get involved too much, the distance is too big to maintain a relationship like that" he said, glaring at Kiba from behind his sunglasses. "It will cloud your judgement".
Kiba looked back at him, rolling his eyes. "I will be fine".
Shino decided that the conversation was over with a couple of slow shakes with his head and Kiba did not feel like listening in general. He was too stubborn for that.
----------------------------------------------------
Both shinobi's went their own way, doing what they were supposed to do. But in the back of their heads they both knew what was going on between both of them and inside of them they felt a silent longing growing. The type of longing both of them kept to themselves, the type they wouldn't bother anyone else with.
They weren't in a position to plan anything together. At least, that was Kiba's wish and therefore he spend an entire day behind his desk (a place he mostly avoided, as sitting behind a desk, ment sitting still), working on a message to send to Kankurou.
It had to be clear, short and Kiba definetly had to try not to make it sound like he needed the puppeteer around that much as he did right now. It had to be casual, friendly and still a little bit strict.
And when he finally finished up the message and started reading it for the 10th time he wondered if this was a thing that would be working. Would Kankurou even be there? And maybe he already had moved on, or he did not care anymore.
----------------------------------------------------
"Please, be quick" he whispered to the bird while he attached the little message to Kankurou onto its leg.
Then he slowly let it go and watched how it dissappeared behind Konoha's trees.
"Kiba!" a voice sound from behind him. "I don't know what has got into your mind, but you're really neglecting your training today".
The Inuzuka turned around, trying his best to not look as guilty as he felt.
"You made friends abroad?" Tsume asked as her hard eyes shifted from her son to the window.
"Yeah, just sending...them...a message" he answered with a small smile.
"Sunagakure..." she uttered, face pensive.
Kiba was stupid to think his mother wouldn't find out the destination of the bird, so he nodded slowly.
"Yeah...".
----------------------------------------------------
A soft pat on the window awoke Kankurou from a light sleep. He blinked in a confused way as he turned his head towards that window.
"Hmn...?" he muttered as he eyed the bird that was sitting outside. Definetly a bird that wasn't common around the dry area he lived in, second of all, a small letter was attached to its leg.
Kankurou opened the window, still a little bit drowsy.
Immediately the bird flew inside, sitting down onto the head of his bed.
Kankurou reconized the irregular handwriting on the paper immediately after he unfolded it. It was Kiba's.
"Meeting up...?" he murmured, reading the message for a second time. Actually, Kankurou wouldn't want anything else then meeting up with Kiba, problem was that he didn't had the time to do so. And ofcourse there was this pretty huge distance between the both of them.
He got up from the bed, still holding the piece of paper. The bird was still in his room, still eager to bring a message back to Kiba.
----------------------------------------------------
Kiba's eyes lit up when his messenger appeared in the backyard while he was playing around with Akamaru. A little piece of paper was wrapped around its leg. Kiba's heart made a couple of unexpected jumps as he approached the little animal. Carefully he unwrapped the paper, eyes darting over the written characters.
It was Kankurou's. No one else stretched the last inkstrokes of a character that way. And no one was that blunt in his answers.
'Can't come. Don't have time.'
Kankurou definetly let him know that the request he made had been downright ridiculous. He could be such an ass sometimes, and the Inuzuka hated it when he got reminded of the fact that in most of the cases the Sand ninja was an absolute asshole.
But Inuzuka Kiba liked this asshole. And it annoyed him that this asshole couldn't meet up with him.
---------------------------------------------------
He instantly knew he shouldn't get more of these kind of dreams. Especially not with Kiba starring it it, looking like that. Touching him on places only his own hand had been. And he definetly wasn't only kissing his lips this time. The Inuzuka had been everywhere, furfilling every slightest bit of fantasy that had ever crossed the puppeteer's mind.
The dream had been so damn vivid. He even could feel the warmth radiating from Kiba's body. It had been one insane ride and it caused him to wake up with the biggest boner he'd ever had in his entire life.
And even while his hand snuck between his legs his head was full of Kiba, especially the way he had been moaning his name in pleasure.
Maybe meeting up with the Inuzuka wouldn't be such a bad idea. Maybe he could create some free time.
But then there was this intense climax numbing his senses, filling up his room with a ridiculous loud moan.
"I definetly have to see Kiba..." he breathed afterwards. Announcing to himself that the beginning sort of relationship he had with the young Leaf ninja just entered an entire different phase.
