Thank to everyone who reviewed. I'm actually happy some of you read my little rant. Thanks for your support! I love you all!!

Adrian grumbled to himself as he made his way to his bedroom window. He rubbed his eyes while pulling the curtain back to look outside. He yawned and pulled the string of the blind, revealing the back yard. He blinked in surprise when he saw about a foot of snow. He stared at the white covered ground for a little while before turning away, letting the black curtain fall back, covering the window.

Within ten minutes he was ready to go to church. He bounced down the stairs and almost ran into his mother who was walking by. He managed to avoid her and ended up against the wall. She just laughed at him and motioned for him to follow her. He smiled at her and did as told. They walked into the kitchen where his father was already going through a black trash bag of stuff.

"What's in there?" Adrian asked, pulling his coat on.

"Old coats and blankets." Edward answered his son. "We don't need them anymore, so we figured we'd give them to people who do."

Adrian smiled and nodded. "Cool." He pulled a black beanie over his head, covering his spiky black hair.

"We found a few of your old coats. Is that fine?" His mother asked, watching her husband tie the bag closed.

"Yea. Not like I need them." He zipped up his coat and grinned at them. "So we going or what?"

His parents blinked before glancing at each other then back to their son. "You're in a good mood." His mother commented.

He shrugged. "It's a good day."

Claire smiled knowingly. "That's wonderful. Let's get going, shall we?"

Adrian nodded and bounced out the door. Claire and Edward smiled at each other before following their son outside. Adrian bounced around the slightly snow covered driveway while his parents put their things into the car. His mother watched him while his father started the car for it to warm up.

The raven haired boy stared up at the blue sky, a smile on his face. He turned to his mother when his name was called and ran over to the car. He climbed inside the back seat and buckled his seat belt. He snuggled back into the seat and his father pulled out of the driveway. It was silent in the car for a while, while Adrian stared out the window, watching the snow covered yards go by.

"Hey mom? Dad?"

"Yes?" His mom responded and his father gave him an acknowledged grunt.

"I was wondering..." He trailed off.

"Adrian?" His mother turned in her seat to face him.

"Well... It's getting colder... And I was just wondering if..." He bit his lip while his mother stared at him. "If that invitation to Kiba was still open?"

Claire blinked and leaned back a bit before glancing to her husband. Edward nodded slightly to her and she grinned turning back to her son. "Yes, Darling. It is."

Adrian grinned, his face lighting up. "Then... It would be ok if I asked him again?"

"Of course!" She grinned back at him.

He nodded and rubbed his slightly cold hands together. "Ok. I'll do that then." She nodded and turned back around in her seat. Adrian smiled to himself and stared out the window.

It didn't really surprise Adrian at all the see a bigger amount of people at the church. The colder the weather the more demand for warm food. It was hard for him to stand there and give people their food. He didn't realize how bad it really was. All the small children were freezing and he just wanted to take every single one home. But the offer was for only one. He was happy enough that he could help one. But the problem was... whether this one would accept or not.

After his shift was done, Adrian pulled his coat back on, along with his beanie. He grabbed a bowl and put some dog food in it then some gravy. He mixed it together and warmed it up in the microwave. Once that was done he grabbed a plate of hot food and took both of them outside with a blanket thrown over his arm. He almost tripped over his feet as he came down the stairs but caught himself before he fell.

He looked around the yard before his eyes landed on Kiba. The brunette was once again leaning against that tree waiting for him. Adrian smiled and made his way over to him. Akamaru noticed him first and barked at him, running over. Adrian smiled at the dog and walked over to Kiba, Akamaru barking and jumping up at him.

He leaned down and placed the food on the snow covered ground. Akamaru barked once again before digging in. Kiba pushed himself off of the tree and walked over to Adrian. They smiled at each other before Adrian handed him his food. Then he laid out the blanket and they both sat down, facing away from the church and toward the open snow blanketed field.

"Akamaru seems to like what you did." Kiba nodded toward the dog practically inhaling his food.

Adrian smiled and nodded. "Easy enough."

"Thank you." Kiba said, starting to eat.

"Anytime."

They sat in comfortable silence while Akamaru and Kiba ate. Akamaru finished first and cuddled up in Adrian's lap. The raven haired boy smiled and pet Akamaru, hoping to give him some warmth. Kiba smiled at them and continued eating. Adrian noticed that Kiba was still wearing the coat he gave him. The thought made him blush.

"How are you two doing? Since it's gotten so much colder..."

"Pretty good. Akamaru grew in his thick winter coat so he's pretty good."

"And you?"

Kiba shrugged. "I'll survive."

Adrian's heart sank a little bit. His eyes stayed on Akamaru while his hand pet the dog's thick dirty white fur. He bit his lip and felt his face start to get warm. "Kiba?"

"Hm?" The brunette placed his now empty plate on top of Akamaru's empty bowl.

"Come live with me?"

Kiba froze for a second, thinking he didn't hear the boy correctly. His eyes widened and his heart jumped in his chest. He swallowed hard and stared at the smaller boy beside him. Adrian's face was pretty red but his black outlined green eyes were still locked on Akamaru. Adrian's pale skin almost blended in with the snow but the blush on his cheeks made his face more vibrant, livelier. He looked like he was sinking into his over sized coat and the black beanie on top his head cause his hair to stick to his face and neck. Kiba almost reached out to him but pulled his hand back before he did so. He still wasn't sure if Adrian understood what he had said last time they were together.

"I..." The brunette was quite speechless. Sure, he had been asked this question before by Adrian and his family but he wasn't sure how to react now. Things were different now. Did Adrian really want Kiba to live with him, or did he just feel sorry for him?

"Please?" Adrian finally lifted his head and met Kiba's dark brown eyes. "I... I worry, you know? About you and Akamaru. It's getting colder and it's only going to snow more. I couldn't really sleep last night because I was thinking about it..."

"You were thinking about me?" Kiba managed to say.

The raven haired boy nodded. "Well... Yea. I care about you." He pouted lightly.

Kiba took a sharp intake of breath before a small blush came to his cheeks. "Ah... Don't worry about me, Adrian. I'm fine. It means a lot to me that you worry and care... But I'm fine."

Adrian sighed. He knew Kiba would say that. "Please? I really want you to."

Kiba stared at him, searching his green eyes for any sign of deceit and he found none. Still he sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "No. I'd feel like I owe you. I already told you before. I don't want to be a burden."

"You won't be..."

Kiba shook his head and tore his eyes away from Adrian's. "It just... wouldn't feel right..."

Adrian's heart clenched at those words. He swallowed hard and resorted to the last thing he could think of. "Then do it for my Christmas present."

Kiba blinked and turned back to the boy. "What?"

"Well, we're friends, right? And friends give each other Christmas presents. I want you and Akamaru to come stay with us for my Christmas present from you. I want you and him safe and warm with me." He lowered his eyes to the white puppy. "That's what I want most. More then anything..." He brought his eyes back up to Kiba's startled ones. "And only you can give that to me."

They stared at each other for a long time. Kiba's eyes narrowed slightly in thought while Adrian's eyes were just begging him. After some time Kiba sighed and tore his eyes away. They landed on Adrian's hands which were still petting Akamaru. The brunette ran a hand through his hair before shaking his head.

"How can I say no to you?"

Adrian sat up straight, a smile aching to break through. "So... is that a yes?"

Kiba met his eyes once again and smiled at him. "Yes."

Adrian grinned and gently pushed Akamaru out of his lap before tackling Kiba back onto the snow. The brunette grunted in surprise but blushed when he felt the smaller boy wrap his arms around his neck tightly. Kiba swallowed hard and slide his arms around the boy's thin waist. Adrian giggled in his ear which caused the brunette to chuckle.

He was starting to think maybe it wasn't so bad excepting help from someone. Especially if that someone was a cute little raven haired boy who was straddling him in a hug at the moment. Yea, it wasn't so bad.
