Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I'm so glad you guys enjoy this story!

Adrian ran his pale hands over the warm water, rubbing them together. He had finished helping out for today and was now cleaning himself up. He was surprised to find that coming here every Saturday morning was having a pretty good positive effect on him.

He was proud of himself that he was making a difference in someone's life. Even though it was small. When he realized he was feeling this way and cursed himself. Christians did this kind of stuff for their own personal gain. The more they treated others right, the higher chance of going to heaven. In the end, most of these people didn't give a damn about anyone but themselves. And it pissed him off that he might be becoming like them.

The raven haired boy sighed and grabbed a blue hand towel to dry his hands. He looked up at the window above the sink and blinked when he saw Kiba. The brunette was squatting down, playing with Akamaru. Adrian smiled and moved over near the big freezer. He put some food together for Akamaru and headed outside.

Kiba looked up with the door slammed behind Adrian. He smiled when he saw the smaller boy coming toward him. Adrian returned the smile when he reached him. He leaned down next to Kiba and put Akamaru's food down beside the white puppy. The dog attacked the food as soon as it was put down. Both boys laughed and ended up sitting right where they were.

"So... how are you?" Adrian asked, watching the puppy.

Kiba shrugged. "Good. You?"

"Same..." He bit his lip. "I was wondering..." Kiba looked up at him. "You don't have... to um... answer or anything..." Kiba tilted his head slightly. "But I was just wondering... How... Why you're all alone...?"

Kiba stared at him for a moment before sighed and looking away, running a hand through his hair. "I'd... rather not talk about it..."

Adrian nodded. "I understand... But where do you stay?" He met the brunette's chocolate brown eyes. "I mean... It's getting colder and... How do you stay warm?" He eyed Kiba's thin grey jacket.

"Anywhere it's warm."

"You know..." He took a deep breath. "My parents... They um... offered for you to stay with us. Since it's getting colder."

Kiba blinked in surprise. He stared at the smaller boy for a moment before smiling softly. "Thanks for offering... but I'd rather not be a bother."

"You wouldn't be a bother." Adrian said quickly. "I mean..." He blushed, keeping his eyes on Akamaru.

Kiba smiled at him. "Thank you. I mean it. But don't worry about me. I've been out here for a while. I've made it this long, so don't worry."

Adrian nodded, not moving his eyes. Kiba watched him for a moment before crawling over next to him and sitting close to him. Adrian looked up a bit and leaned a little closer to Kiba. He decided not to press the issue at the moment. Kiba kept his eyes on the slightly cloudy sky but his body was leaning toward Adrian. The green eyed boy blushed slightly and leaned closer to Kiba, their shoulders touching. Suddenly, both felt much warmer.

"I really want to thank you for bringing food for Akamaru. It means a lot since I can't always provide for him."

"I'm sure you do the best you can."

"I do... I take odd jobs here and there. I spend most of that money on food for him. He's all I have you know?"

"You... have me..."

Kiba blinked and glanced at the smaller boy from the corner of his eyes. "I know... And that means a lot to me too. But as I said... I don't want to be a burden to you."

"You wouldn't."

Kiba smiled softly and leaned over, softly pressing his lips to the boy's pale cheek. "Thank you..."

Adrian's eyes widened and his face became much redder. He swallowed hard and kept his eyes on the ground. They were both silent for a while, just enjoying each others company. Akamaru finished eating and he curled up into Adrian's lap.

"Do you want to come back in the morning for service?" Adrian asked out of the blue while petting Akamaru.

Kiba blinked and turned his head to fully look at the boy. "For... Church?"

He blushed and nodded his head. "You... don't have to..."

"Do you... want me to come?"

"Yes." I want to see you as much as possible...

Kiba smiled softly and nodded. "Then I'll be here."

Adrian's eyes widened a bit and he raised his head to meet Kiba's eyes. "You will?"

"Sure. I'll give it a shot. But I'm curious... Why are you asking?"

"Well... I mean... My parents wouldn't stop bothering me and... I figured church wouldn't be too bad as long as you were with me."

Kiba's smile grew. "Oh? Then I'll be happy to accompany you."

Adrian smiled. "Thanks."

Sorry it's so short... I'm not really in much of a writing mood (a lot of crap is going on right now...) but I knew I had to update this. So here it is. Sorry. But um... there's some fluff! That's good!

The next part is much better, I promise. It's probably going to be the longest part yet too. So, look forward to that.

Please review! (Even though you probably hate me now...)

Thanks.
