Chapter Four: Lover's Past

The drive back to Kiba's home in his red Buick lecerene (which was in surprisingly in much better shape than Naruto thought) breathed an uncomfortable air.

The radio played softly as Naruto looked out the window, his hat long gone and his golden locks spilling over his eyes. He balanced his chin on his hand as he watched the streetlights whiz by.

He couldn't get his mind off of that (almost) kiss.

It shouldn't have surprised him as much as it did. He and Kiba had been together when they were eighteen in their senior year of high school and were once inseparable.

But that was before Naruto's sudden rise to fame.

Naruto closed his eyes as memories made his mind hazy.

---Flashback

Naruto closed his eyes, his muscles sore but his body satisfied.

He smiled when Kiba rained butterfly kisses on his neck.

"Nice way…to end senior year… ne Naru-chan?" Kiba breathed.

Naruto opened his eyes as reality hit him like a ton of bricks.

"Kiba…I…I need to tell you something," he said softly.

"Hm?" Kiba said, shutting his eyes and running his hand up and down Naruto's gorgeous back.

"Remember the audition for that movie Jiraiya had me try out for? I…I got the part."

Naruto gasped as the room suddenly flipped upside down and he found himself nose to nose with a grinning Kiba.

"That's great Naruto!" he said, giving the blonde a kiss. He continued over Naruto's cheek, his ear, and down his neck. Naruto purred and hummed in approval as Kiba's tongue swiped one of his newly acquired hickeys.

"Since my audition people are lining up for interviews with me…and I'm really busy," Naruto continued

"I bet," Kiba replied against his skin.

"So much that Jiraiya says I'll only have time for two years of college."

"You weren't much into school anyways."

"And the college I'm going to is out of state…"

Kiba paused. He let his head rest once again in the crook of his lover's neck as he digested all of this new information.

"I…I see," he finally said after a long and tense pause.

"After I get back," Naruto continued slowly. "I'll be busier than ever. As my manager Jiraiya thinks it…unwise…to be in any sort of relationship."

Kiba lifted himself up and looked into Naruto's shimmering sapphire eyes.

"So I guess…." he started. "I guess…………….we shouldn't see each other anymore. We should…." Kiba swallowed. "…break up."

Naruto looked away as his eyes began to fill to the brim with tears, when he felt a warm hand caress his cheek and push his head back to look into pools of dark chestnut brown.

"I'll miss you," Kiba said softly. "I love you."

Tears spilled down Naruto's cheeks as he threw his arms around Kiba's neck.

"Kiba!" he cried, pulling his soon-to-be-lost lover into a passionate kiss.

Kiba cupped Naruto's face as he kissed him harder, trying to memorize his taste and touch.

He felt salt tingle on his lips as tears began to slide down his own face.

------End Flashback

"Naruto? We're here."

"Huh? What?" Naruto said, jerking his head up at the sudden noise and bumping his nose against the window.

"Itai!" Naruto said, rubbing his red nose and pouting.

Kiba laughed.

"You're such a moron," he said. "Here, let me see it."

Naruto leaned forward and Kiba placed a hand on one side of his cheek. He examined Naruto's nose, tilting his head with his hand.

"It's fine. It's just red," Kiba said. He moved his eyes to look back at the blonde's face when he fell into a crushed blue sky.

Naruto and Kiba both blushed a little from their close proximity. (Naruto more than Kiba.)

"You always were such a baka," Kiba said softly in a tone of endearment instead of insult.

"Kiba…I…" Naruto said, his eyes involuntarily moving to half mast as the brunette moved closer.

"I missed you," Kiba said before closing the gap between them.

Naruto's eyes widened momentarily, and then closed as Kiba cupped his face and kissed him gently, caressing his lips tenderly.

Naruto had seen Kiba again after two years when he was twenty, but they had stayed on a friend basis. He had to admit…

He missed this too.

Kiba requested entrance to Naruto's mouth, swiping his tongue against the crease of his lips. Naruto snapped back into reality as he closed his eyes and pushed Kiba back.

"I-I can't," he said. "I can't be involved in any relat-mff!" Naruto could help but groan when Kiba cut him off and slipped his tongue into his open mouth.

Kiba let out a sharp moan himself as Naruto's sweet addictive taste came back to him as though he had kissed him yesterday. He revisited every corner of Naruto's mouth before greeting his tongue again in what felt like forever.

Kiba parted from Naruto's lips, kissing his neck and licking at the golden skin.

"God I missed you," Kiba said, slipping his hands under Naruto's shirt and feeling the soft dips the blonde's muscles made beneath his fingers.

"K-Kiba," Naruto tried again as he struggled to maintain clarity.

"Naruto, please…I don't care if you're always busy. Dammit Naruto I love you! Please…"

Naruto pushed Kiba away and the brunette gave a defeated sigh.

This quickly turned into a gasp as Naruto crashed his lips against Kiba's in a searing kiss.

No way in hell was Jiraiya controlling his decisions anymore.

Jiraiya downed another shot of sake and slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

"THAT DAMN BLONDE BASTARD!" he shouted for the umpteenth time.

Gaara sat across from him sipping a martini calmly, his legs crossed.

"HOW COULD HE!? DAMN BRAT!"

Gaara sighed and shook his head.

"You've been keeping him on a short leash for his whole acting carrier," he said. "I would have cracked in the first year if I were him. He's needs room to breathe and live his life for himself."

"I'M ONLY PROTECTING HIM!" Jiraiya yelled, flailing his arms. "GOD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING NOW!"

Naruto and Kiba stumbled into the brunette's medium sized apartment, their lips clashing furiously and hands gripping each other tightly.

Kiba slammed the door with his back and Naruto reached under his arm to click the lock in place.

KIba walked forward, causing Naruto to as well.

This was a new apartment and Naruto didn't know the layout, so he guided them to his bedroom, only breaking for air.

Kiba reached the room and slammed the door shut with his foot.

He was thankful that he kept his bed close to his door as he propelled Naruto a few more paces.

Naruto gasped and broke from Kiba as he felt the back of his knees hit the end of the bed and he fell backwards onto it.

Kiba pounced on the bed after him, grinning mischievously and showing off sharp canines.

"Brings back some memories, ne Naru-chan?" he said. Naruto pouted.

"Why am I always –chan?" he said.

Kiba chuckled and pecked his lips.

"Because you're always uke."

Naruto was about to argue when Kiba attacked his neck.

Sasuke climbed into his bed, the award ceremony's blank stage and announcement that Naruto was not in the building sticking to his mind like crazy glue.

Sasuke grinned a bit.

Naruto was pretty gutsy to do what he did, especially since the award was BIG.

Then again, what did the blonde have to do so badly that he skipped the award ceremony? Or was it just to piss off his manager?

Sasuke found that he was pleased with the outcome either way.

Naruto groaned as Kiba slowly dragged his Dattebayo shirt up his body, skimming his lips on the blonde's chest.

Kiba's shirt was long gone, Naruto having thrown it off in quite a creative manner.

Kiba flung the shirt away and kissed over Naruto's chest, traveling down and dipping his tongue into his belly button. Over it was a complicated black tattoo that Kiba had so clearly remembered the blonde had gotten in the beginning of senior year.

Naruto moaned and rocked his body a bit, driving the brunette into an untamed state of pleasure.

"God Naruto," he breathed against his skin as he licked around the tattoo. "You taste so freaking good!"

Naruto groaned as Kiba continued to kiss down until he very quickly met his jeans. Kiba ran his hands up and down Naruto's sides as he took the zipper to Naruto's bulging pants in his teeth and slowly dragged it down.

"NARUTO-SAMAAA! WHERE HAVE YOU GONE MY LOVELY!?" Lee cried in the modeling studio as Gai pat his back.

"I'm sure he's fine Lee," he reassured his photographer and young prodigy. "He was probably just stressed out and needed some air is all."

"GOD KIBA! NNG! FASTER!"

Kiba teased Naruto a little longer before complying.

"Still the- ng – same s-sweet spot," he said as Naruto moaned loudly.

Kiba ran his dull fingernails down Naruto's back as his body moved swiftly and sharply back and forth.

"Hah…Kiba…unnnh…" Naruto gasped. Kiba felt the passion built up inside of him explode as he thrust into Naruto with such force that they both let out loud cries and reached their climax simultaneously.

"KIBA!"

"NARUTO!"

Naruto panted as the brunette collapsed beside him, also breathing heavily.

Going without sex for three years during such a young hormone high age did that to you.

Naruto felt tears gather in his eyes and he gripped the sheets beneath him as he buried his head in them.

Kiba looked over to Naruto, confused, and pulled the blonde against him.

"Maa, Naru, what's wrong?" Kiba asked, closing his eyes and engulfing his face in the golden locks under his chin.

Naruto put his hands on Kiba's chest and shared his pillow.

"I…I'm not sure," Naruto said truthfully. He looked up to Kiba with glassy eyes, looking into his chestnut orbs.

"This feels…I dunno…different."

"Different?" Kiba said.

"Un. This doesn't feel like it did back in high school."

Kiba raised an eyebrow.

"Iie! That was great!" Naruto said quickly. "You haven't missed a beat! But…like I said, I dunno. I feel weird…"

Kiba chuckled and kissed Naruto's forehead.

"I thought you were about to say that I was really rusty!" he said. Naruto smiled back at him weakly before it faded and an uneasy look passed his face.

"Ano…this just feels so strange…" he said quietly.

"You haven't been so intimate with someone in a long time, so it probably just feels foreign," Kiba said, leaning down and kissing Naruto's neck.

Naruto shut his eyes tightly.

"Kiba's touch feels good…but…" Naruto grit his teeth. "It just feels like lust. This isn't love…I knew what it felt like three years ago. This isn't it…this isn't it…this-"

Kiba took Naruto's hands in his own to find them cold and shaking.

"Naruto?" Kiba said worriedly, pulling back to look at him.

"This isn't it!" Naruto said, abruptly sitting up against his aching body's will. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up, his naked back shining in the moonlight spilling in through the curtains. He quickly slipped his clothes back on, his body trembling violently.

"Naruto! What's wrong?! Where are you going!?" Kiba said, sitting up.

"This isn't love Kiba," Naruto said, not looking at him as he pulled the zipper up his jeans. "This is just lust. I-I knew love, and we had it…but it's gone. Having sex with my best friend feels like the most uncomfortable thing in the world."

Naruto walked briskly out the room and to the door, his hind quarters throbbing.

"Naruto! Matte (wait) Naruto!" Kiba said, running up behind him without bothering to clothe himself. (Hey, he had no shame!)

"I'm sorry Kiba," Naruto said as he slammed the door.

Kiba stood there in silence as he listened to the beat of his own heart.

Iruka groaned under the warm covers of his bed, turning over as his cell phone began to ring harshly against the lovely silence of his room.

His hand flopped out from under the covers, flailing like a fish out of water as he searched for the electronic nuisance.

He found it and pulled it under his covers, holding it to his ear as he flipped it open.

"Mfrm?" he said.

"Iruka."

Iruka bolted upright in bed.

"Naruto!? Where are you!? Why did you leave the ceremony? As a manager Jiraiya is furious, and as a father he's worried sick!" he said.

"Iruka….can you come pick me up?" Naruto said, his voice sounding weaker than ever.

"Naruto?" Iruka said a bit more softly. "What happened? Are you alright?"

"……"

"I'll be right there. Where are you?"

"The corner of Okaland Boulevard."

"I'll come as quickly as I can."

"Iruka?"

"Hai?"

Please……don't tell Jiraiya."

"Naruto he-"

"Please Iruka…please…"

Iruka sighed.

"Alright."

Iruka pulled over to the sidewalk with Naruto's limo when he saw the young superstar sitting hunched under a streetlight with his knees drawn up to his chest, waiting patiently.

Iruka scrambled from the limo (still in his pajamas) and bent down in front of him.

"Naruto! Daijobou?" he said.

Naruto looked up at him through glazed eyes and nodded. He stood up shakily, Iruka straightening himself as well, when he suddenly fell forward, just barely catching himself with his leg.

"Naruto, let me help you," Iruka said. Naruto was silent as Iruka put one of the superstar's arms over his shoulder and helped him into the limo.

The car ride was silent, Iruka checking in his review mirror now and then to see Naruto in the same position as when he had found him, hugging his knees to his chest and shaking a bit.

Iruka sighed.

"Naruto…" he started slowly as if the wrong word would send the star sprinting. "What…what happened?"

Naruto lifted his head to look at his driver in the eyes, and Iruka almost gasped at how lifeless they looked.

"I went to Kiba's soccer game," Naruto said. "We went back to his house, and…I realized that I didn't love him anymore. It was just lust…"

Iruka didn't say anything. He got the message of what happened.

"Naruto, would you like to stay at my home for a little bit?" he said kindly.

Naruto smiled and nodded. Going to Iruka's house was almost like having a mother taking care of him.

Iruka smiled and turned at the next light instead of going forward.

The phone on the table beside Jiraiya's bed rang the next morning just as he emerged from his morning shower. His white hair clung to his skin, wet and knotty.

"Hello?" Jiraiya said, picking up the receiver.

"Jiraiya-sama-"

"OHMYGODIRUKADIDYOUFINDHIM!?" Jiraiya screamed into the phone.

"Yes, he's at my house," Iruka said weakly after the outburst.

"HEISINSOMUCHTROUBLEWHENIGETOVERTHERE!"

"With all due respect Jiraiya-sama, please don't yell at him."

"Huh?"

"Naruto's little escape started out as a favor for a friend…but it escalated…"

Jiraiya paused and sighed.

"I see," he said. "With who?"

"Kiba-kun."

"Are they back together?"

"I think that's why Naruto is so reclusive now, but we'll have to ask for the story later."

"In light of the situation, I have no choice but to cancel his schedule for the next few days. In a parental outlook, tell him that he's grounded."

"I don't think that it will matter much since he currently has no intention to leave the house."

Jiraiya hung up the phone and sighed.

Deidara was gonna blow the shit out of him when he heard Naruto couldn't attend rehearsal.
