You and Kankuro were an interesting pair. The two of you had been best friends since diapers; you stuck to each other like super gorilla glue. You got picked on; he was there to back you up, when he bullied younger kids you were there to smack some sense into him (literally). It was nearly impossible to separate the two of you in whatever you did and you two constantly dragged the other into some sort of trouble. As you grew up people could never tell if you were friends or a couple and friends constantly teased the two of you. However, you never saw each other in that way; until you got into high school.
Once you both hit high school you began to view your best friend in a slightly different way. You began to see Kankuro not just as your best friend but also as a guy and a really cute and funny guy at that. So now as a senior in high school you had a major crush (border lining love) on your best friend and have yet to tell him your true feelings nor knew how he felt about you.
"Damn [name], you're making me wish I was that chair." Kankuro laughed from beside you.
The two of you were in woodshop (Kankuro's choice of elective) and while Kankuro was working on some fancy wooden box of some kind you weren't so good with making stuff and were working on a (crapy) chair and sanding one of its legs.
"Oh baby." You laughed, running your hand down it slower and putting your face next to it and topping it off by licking your lips slowly and winking at him.
Kankuro roared with laughter and wolf whistled. "And you call me the pervert." He laughed.
"You are a pervert. You're the one who was getting all aroused by me sanding wood." You responded.
"He-he you can sand my wo-
"Don't even finish that lame ass line." You cut in as you cracked up laughing.
"Spoil sport." He pouted.
"You know you love me."
"Hmmm maybe. You can be rather mean to me sometimes." He joked.
"Come on you know you love everything about me; especially this." You replied, striking a sexy pose.
Since the two of you had developed hormones you had become perverts and perversely joking with and teasing each other was one of your favorite pass times.
"Hell yeah I do!" He laughed; grabbing onto your hips and pulling you into him.
"Not in front of so many eyes Kanky-kun!" you laughed; placing your hands on his shoulders.
"Well then, meet me behind the gym in five?" He asked winking.
"Cool it you two." The teacher cut in; laughing at their antics with the rest of the class (this was a daily routine for them).
They both grinned and released each other; getting back to work. "Sorry [name] looks like we can't have our fun time." Kankuro laughed and you laughed along with him.
"That's ok Kanky-kun. I don't think your girlfriend would really like that anyway." You answered smiling sadly, it was something that bugged you greatly. He'd joke flirted with you all the time but you knew he was never serious. He always had a girlfriend so you were sure he only saw you as a friend he could joke around with.
"We broke up." He replied indifferently.
"What, really?" That was one thing you did find odd. He went through girlfriends like crazy (almost a new one every month) but almost always they broke up with him.
"Yeah, she cheated on me." He answered with a shrug.
"What!? Want me to kick her ass? I'll do it, you know I will. I'll rip out her pretty blonde hair and ruin that nice face. Just give me the word." You growled.
"Nah don't worry about it." He answered chuckling at your desire to destroy the girl.
"You have bad taste in women Kankuro." You muttered and Kankuro laughed and looked down at what he was working on.
He never told you the real reason why they always broke up with him. You were that reason. He always put you before everyone else and his girlfriends hated how close you were and that he chose you over them. They often accused him of cheating or got fed up that they couldn't get between the two of you and broke up with him or he'd dump them when they ordered him to stay away from you or threatened your safety. Then there was the occasional girl that had no problem with the two of you being close and whenever he got into a serious relationship with one of them he would break if off quickly because he feared falling for one of them and he wouldn't let his heart replace you with someone else. He had loved you since the two of you hit middle school but feared that he'd wreck how close of a friendship the two of you had if he told you.
"Well I guess I could switch to guys if you want." He joked after pulling himself out of his musing.
"Ha-ha! Yeah right! Remember the time that gay guy hit on you? You flipped and clung to me for hours. I had to get Gaara to peal you off me with his sand." You replied laughing at the memory and his joke.
"True. Besides I don't think I could live without boobs." He replied; eyeing your chest and winking.
"How 'bout a he/she then?" You suggested, crossing your arms over your chest and glaring playfully.
"Hmmm I don't think so. I just like women too much I guess." He answered grinning.
"Good." You replied grinning.
"Why good?" He asked smirking mischievously. "Is it because you want a chance at this too?" He asked winking and smirking.
"Ha-ha sure, totally." You responded sarcastically and rolling your eyes. "I'm just dying for your bod." You added.
"What a coincidence, I'm dying for yours too." He laughed.
The two of you laughed and then got back to work and focused on what you were doing for the rest of the hour.
The following day started out just the same. You both got to work on your projects and soon started cracking jokes back and forth. However your antics were cut short when the classroom door opened. You stopped trying to give each other wedgies and stared at the guy who walked in. He went to the teacher and handed him a schedule.
"Alright everybody we got a new student. This is Gin." He introduced and the class gave a grunt in welcome. He told the new kid what to do and he wondered over to an open spot next to yours.
"Hey." He greeted and you greeted him back in a friendly manner but Kankuro just grunted.
"Don't mind him; he's just got his undies in a bunch." You laughed.
"Yeah because of you." He snapped (finally getting rid of the wedgie you had
given him) and successfully giving you one while your back was turned.
"Gah!" You cried as you ducked away from him and tried to discreetly fix it.
"Ahaha, so what's your names?" Gin asked.
"[name]." You responded grinning.
"Kankuro." Kankuro grunted getting back to work.
When the bell rang you and Kankuro began walking to lunch (Kankuro practically dragging you out of the classroom). "What's the matter Kuro-kun?" You asked as you both stood in line for your food at McDonalds.
"Nothing why?" He replied.
"You were really rude and mean to the noob." You stated.
"I don't like him." He replied placing his order.
"Why not? Seems nice to me." You answered placing yours.
"He was eyeing you like a piece of meat." He responded.
"Huh really? Didn't notice." You answered.
"That's because you were busy being too friendly." He replied.
"Awww Kanky-kun's jealous." You teased.
"Am not." He replied though it was a flat out lie.
"Relax Kankuro you'll always be my main man." You responded grinning.
"Not in the way I want." Kankuro muttered under his breath as the two of you walked back to school while eating your food.
For the rest of the week Kankuro grew grouchier and grouchier during woodshop. He stayed by your side grumbling under his breath while enduring having to watch and listen to the new kid flirt with and hit on you. He was going to snap soon. Currently you were in the bathroom and he was contemplating killing the guy next to him with the conveniently placed drill nearby.
"So Kankuro?" He asked breaking his train of thought.
Kankuro stopped thinking up ways to make it look like an accident and turned to look at him. "What?" He asked.
"[name]-chan's not your girlfriend is she?" He asked.
"No." Kankuro replied; not liking where this conversation was going.
"Good. I was planning on asking her out today." He answered happily.
"You can't!" Kankuro snapped before he could stop himself.
"Why not?" He replied with an eyebrow raised.
"Because- because she's really not your type." He lied quickly.
"Ha I get it. You like her huh?" He asked grinning.
"What of it?" Kankuro growled not bothering to beat around the bush.
"Well if you're not going to make a move I will."
"I won't let you." He hissed.
"It's not your place to stop me. You're just her friend you don't have control over her."
"And as her friend I'm protecting her. I've noticed what you've been doing around school you've been going after every girl you can to sleep with them. I won't let you do that to [name]."
"Why don't you grow some balls and do something about it then?" He taunted.
Kankuro glared at him and forgetting the drill through scull idea he punched him square in the face and attacked him.
The next thing Kankuro knew was he, Gin, you, and his most current ex were all sitting in the principal's office with bruises and cuts. He was rather confused as to what you and the girl were doing here too.
"Why'd you attack Gin?" The principal asked Kankuro as he rubbed his temples.
"He pissed me off." He replied simply.
"And how'd you two get involved in this?" He asked you and the chick.
"I honestly have no idea about what happened with those two." You stated pointing to the two boys. "I was just coming back from the bathroom when I heard this bitch talking shit about Kankuro." You explained, jabbing your thumb at the chick.
"I was just talking to my boyfriend when she attacked me!" She replied.
"You mean talking crap about Kankuro with the guy you cheated on him with?" You growled.
"Save it. I don't want to hear it." The principal cut in as she was about to retaliate.
"Back to you boys." He stated directing his attention back to the boys. "How did he piss you off exactly? You're going to need a better excuse then that." He asked Kankuro.
"He said something that threatened the well being of [name]." He answered simply.
"Yes of course. You'll do anything for your precious [name] won't you? Including picking her over your own girlfriend." The chick spat and you jumped up.
"Want me to rip out your other earring!? You're the one that cheated on him!" You growled and Kankuro quickly restrained you.
"Let it go." He urged.
The principle sighed heavily and started writing things down. "Look I don't care about your reasons. All four of you got into fights so all four of you are getting detentions for two weeks. Now get back to class." He stated and the four of you left the office. Gin and the girl sneered at both of you before they left one direction and you and Kankuro began heading the other way.
"So how exactly did he threaten me?" You asked as the two of you walked.
"He was going to ask you out." He answered.
"You're right that is a danger to my well being." You joked.
"It would have been if you said yes. He's a dick and was just trying to get into your pants." He answered.
"Oh. Well in that case thank you Kuro-kun." You stated hugging him and giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Umm look [name]. Can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked; thinking now was a good time to tell you.
"Sure, what's up?" You asked as the bell rang and people started heading to class.
Kankuro looked at you for a moment then pulled you into his arms and kissed you. You froze in shock; not believing what was happening. You pinched yourself to make sure you weren't dreaming and when you found out you were indeed not you smiled into the kiss and returned it; wrapping your arms around him tightly.
"I see talking wasn't exactly what you had in mind." You joked when the two of you broke away for air and Kankuro rested his forehead on yours.
"I love you." He whispered and you stared at him in shock.
"Seriously?" You asked in disbelief and he nodded. You grinned and kissed him again. "Ditto." You replied and this time he grinned and kissed you once more.
Kankuro pushed you against the wall and your back hit the lockers but you ignored it as your kissing intensified. You tugged on his hair and clutched him tightly as his tongue intruded your mouth and hands wandered to your body.
You both continued to make out passionately for several minutes before a voice sounded from behind you. "Hey! Cut it out and get to class you two! Before I give you a detention!" You both heard a teacher yell from the classroom across the hall.
You and Kankuro both jumped and moved away from each other while blushing intensely. "S-sorry. We're going now." Kankuro called back to the teacher and grabbed your hand pulling you down the hall.
"You ok there [name]-chan? You seem a little flushed." Kankuro teased as you walked; a cocky grin glued to his face.
"Shut up!" You snapped your already red and flushed face becoming redder with a blush. You turned to glare at him but stopped when you got a good look at him and grinned cheekily. "You shouldn't talk Kanky-kun. Excited are we?"You teased staring at his obvious excitement.
"Well can you blame me?" He replied; not ashamed in the slightest and you chuckled.
"So I'm your girlfriend now?" You asked hopefully.
"Of course." He replied and you grinned.
You slipped your hand out of his and stopped him from walking. Wrapping your arms around his neck tightly you stood on your tippy toes and whispered in his ear. "Meet me behind the gym in five?" You whispered and gave him a peck on the lips before darting off.
Kankuro stood there shocked before his usual cocky grin was back in place and he ran after you.
