Don't hate me for this chapter....
Chapter 17: Kiba's Confusion
Kiba's POV:
Sasuke made it perfectly clear where his interest lies and that it is not with me. However, I can't seem just to move on. I wish I could, yet I look at him and I don't want to give up. I'm not so blind that I can't see that Hinata is trying to talk to me. In all honesty, maybe I should at least try to get to know her because at least she's interested.
I looked at Sai, debating whether I should ask him for advice. I knew he'd probably tell me to back off. I let out a sigh as I said, "Hey Sai."
"What?" he asked.
"I need your honest opinion," I said as I looked around, making sure that no one else was around to hear us.
"About what?" he asked, obviously interested.
"About Sasuke," I said.
"Move on," he said with a smile.
I frowned, "What?"
"Hinata obviously likes you, she's like a girl version of Sasuke just nice and shy with a huge rack," he said, though I'm not sure how he said it with a straight face.
"That doesn't help," I mumbled.
"Why, it's not the answer you want?" I remained silent, because we both knew that was the reason.
Part of me wanted to say I was in love with Sasuke, though the other part of me knew he was right that I just lusted after him. I walked outside to see Sasuke sitting by himself reading on the porch.
"Hey," I said.
He looked at me, "Hey."
"I have a favor, you can say no, but it would really help me," I said as I looked at him.
"What is it?" he asked, looking back at me, obviously unsure.
"Can I kiss you," I asked, completely serious.
"Excuse me," he said, as his eyebrow shot up and he put down his book.
"To get it out of my system," I explained. "You say its lust so I want to see if you're right so I can move on."
He hesitated before answering, "Just one kiss and if you touch me again after, I'll cut your hand off."
"Deal," I smiled, just happy that he said yes.
I leaned in, as did he, and our lips met. It was hot and the kiss was good, but there wasn't any spark. I wanted to feel more between him and me; I was hoping I felt more between him and me. However, I didn't and perhaps that meant he was right. Perhaps that meant I should just move on. I liked him for his looks and that was all.
We separated, still looking at each other and I asked, "Did you feel anything?"
"No," he said, as I expected.
"Me either," I said before looking away.
"I guess that settles that," he said with a shrug once again picking up his book, telling me the conversation is over, causing me to sigh as I got up and walked back in the house.
Sasuke POV:
About two minutes after Kiba left, Naruto walked up to me. He seemed to be upset, but I wasn't sure why. "What's wrong?" I asked as I put my book down and looked at him.
"I saw you kiss Kiba," he said.
"Excuse me?" I asked annoyed at how much I seemed to be asking that today.
"You kissed Kiba," he repeated.
"So?" I asked.
"I thought you liked me," he said obviously upset still.
"I do," I shrugged.
"But you're kissing him?" he asked, confused.
"Naruto, I like you, but you're not my boyfriend, I can kiss whoever I want," I said.
"But why him, he likes you," Naruto said, still upset.
"He wanted to get over me," I shrugged.
"And he does so by kissing you, that makes a lot of sense," he rolled his eyes.
"He had to know what he felt for me and we tried kissing without the game and felt nothing," I explained, not seeing the big deal.
"I still don't like it," he said.
"It doesn't matter if you do or not, you're not my boyfriend, and until you are, you can't say a damn thing about it," I said thought I really meant for it to be in my head.
"Sorry," he mumbled.
I sighed and said, "Look just know that it was good for me too, now I know I don't feel a thing for Kiba, I'm sure I'm completely over him."
"And what about me?" he grinned.
I smirked and pulled him into a kiss that made my heart speed up. I said, "You're a whole different story."
I looked at the window and saw my mother standing there, knowing she just saw us kiss. I looked at her as I said to him, "Let's go on the hammock and relax."
He just nodded and I grabbed his hand as we walked off the porch and got onto the hammock. I laid my head on his chest as we lay on the hammock and talked.
Mikoto POV
I watched as Sasuke kissed blonde boy I think his name is Naruto. I couldn't believe it as he grabbed his hand and got into the hammock. A hammock is such an intimate place to lay, not a place for two boys to lie together. I knew I had to do something, something that my son may hate now but would thank me for later.
I picked up the phone and dialed Fugaku's number. "Hello," I heard his voice say.
"Fugaku, we have a problem," I said.
"What sort of problem," he asked.
"A problem with Sasuke," I said.
"Explain," he said.
"He's gay," I said, hesitantly.
"No son of mine is a homosexual," Fugaku said, furiously.
"I know, Fugaku, I know, we have to fix this," I said, panicked.
"Don't worry," he said before he paused. "I have a plan," he said, calmly.
"I knew you would," I said, as I looked out at Sasuke, knowing it wouldn't be easy.
"Give me some time though, this won't happen overnight," he said.
"As long as you fix this," I said with a smile, staring out at the hammock.
"You know I will," was the last thing he said before he hung up.
I hung up the phone staring out the window, finally thinking everything was going to be okay again. If I had it my way, this would be the last week my son would be kissing boys.
TBC...
So I felt like updating because I'm starting to write chapter 22...which means the story will almost be over soon. I'm debating in my head if I want a sequel to this story or not. I'm not very good with sequels because I always want to move onto the next idea, however, it would be very different from this story. It would be kind of like the future and how it all played out sort of thing, maybe 10 years later. Or I could just move on to a new story so far One Tempting Year is winning in my poll and if you have yet to vote in my poll you should. Alternatively, if you have an idea of what I should write please be my guest at proving new ideas. It can be in the form of full out ideas or just a song you think would provide good inspiration for a story if you've read my other stories you know I often use songs as inspiration, this is one of the few that doesn't.
