Lonely Faces (*aka. Roommates)


Chapter 13

The double doors to the operating room opened as the doctor stepped out. Kiba tried to read his expression as he approached him, he didn’t look like someone with bad news.
The doctor stopped in front of him and paused for a moment, before smiling broadly. “He’s completely fine, it was only a minor bump to the head. He did need some stitches; it looks like the license plate cut him or something.”
Naruto glanced at Kiba. He looked slightly relieved but still a little worried. He put his arm around him and hugged him lightly.
“Can we see him?” asked Kiba, standing from his chair.
“Sure. He’s still under the effect of the sedative, so he’s sleeping.” said the doctor, heading for the room he had just exited, motioning for them to follow.
Naruto, Hana, and Ms. Inuzuka all got up from their seats and followed Kiba and the doctor through to the O.R.
Akamaru lay on one of the steel tables, eyes closed and tongue lolling out of his open mouth. The female doctor was affixing a cone around the dog’s neck.
Kiba ran forwards and stopped at the table, tears flooding his vision.
“Akamaru …” he whispered, stroking the pup’s fur tenderly.
“Can we bring him home?” asked Ms. Inuzuka.
“Yes, as I said, his injuries were minor. I must admit, I was scared that the damage was much worse when you brought him in.” answered the doctor, raising his eyebrow slightly.
Once the Nurse finished fastening the cone around Akamaru’s neck, Kiba lifted him and cradling him lovingly in his arms.
Kiba smiled down at him warmly and moisture fell from his face, landing on Akamaru’s fur. “Thank god you’re okay. I don’t know what I’d do if you …”
Akamaru’s eyes flickered slowly open and he looked up at Kiba.
“Akamaru?” he said, lowering his face to the dog’s.
The pup raised his head slightly and licked Kiba’s nose affectionately, bumping the cone on his ear.
Kiba let out a laugh as he hugged Akamaru closer. “I was so worried.”
Naruto stayed back, not wanting to ruin their heartfelt moment, but also because he felt guilty. It was he who had let go of the leash after all, he had hurt Kiba, it was his fault Kiba was so worried.
It was all his fault.
-
“Naruto, what’s the matter, you haven’t said a word since we got home.” asked Kiba, lying on the floor as he stroked Akamaru who was on a pillow by the fireplace of the Inuzuka’s living room.
He and Kiba were the only one’s still awake. It was well past 2:00am, but Kiba and Naruto had decided to stay up a while longer, giving Akamaru some company until he fell asleep.
Naruto, who until now had been sitting on the couch, staring absentmindedly at the Christmas tree, lowered his head in guilt.
“Kiba, I’m so sorry …” he whispered, trying to hold back his tears.
Kiba looked at him questioningly. “Naruto?”
Despite his best efforts, moisture leaked from his closed eyelids. “I let go of the leash, I let Akamaru get hurt, I made you unhappy. Please don’t hate me.”
Kiba rolled his eyes and crawled over to Naruto, kneeling in front of him and taking his hand. “Naruto, don’t be stupid. It was an accident, it wasn’t your fault.”
Naruto looked completely unconvinced and lowered his head further.
“Naruto, stop blaming yourself, it wasn’t your fault!” he said, releasing Naruto’s hand and pulling him into an embrace.
Naruto began to cry harder into his shoulder. “… Kiba. I love you.”
Kiba was slightly surprised, this was the first time the word, love, had been used in their relationship. Thinking back, he always knew that Naruto loved him, and the same could be said for Kiba, they just never felt the need to voice it. The fact that Naruto chose now to say it showed how much Naruto felt for him.
“Naruto …” he said, closing his eyes as he shed tears of his own. “I love you too.”

-

“Get up! It’s Christmas!” said Hanna, lobbing a pillow at the sleeping pair.
Kiba stirred and blushed crimson as he realized he was spooning Naruto in front of his sister.
“Hana!” he yelled, removing his arm from around Naruto’s waist to retrieve the pillow and throw it back.
Naruto woke and chuckled at the fighting siblings as they continued to throw various objects from Kiba’s room at one another. He envied them, he wished he had a brother or sister.
Hana chucked a pair of pants that had been lying on the floor at Kiba who ducked. They hit Naruto square in the face and he reeled back in surprise.
Naruto laughed, removing the article of clothing from his face and hurling it at Hana. She giggled and sidestepped, causing the jeans to smack harmlessly on the wall behind.
Kiba, Naruto and Hana continued tossing things at each other until an upset Ms. Inuzuka yelled at them to keep the noise down, after which they resigned themselves to agree to a ceasefire.
“You’d better get downstairs soon.” said Hana, leaving Kiba’s room and closing the door behind her.
“Do you often fight like that?” asked Naruto, striping off his pajamas.
“… hm-wha-?” asked Kiba absentmindedly, entranced by watching Naruto disrobe.
Naruto noticed what Kiba was doing and moved closer, grinning slyly. “Something interesting Kiba?”
Naruto sat on Kiba’s crotch, moving his ass over Kiba’s hardening erection through the thin material of Kiba’s P.J.’s. He let out a soft moan of satisfaction as Naruto shifted his weight to try a new position.
Naruto turned to Kiba, straddling the boy’s legs as he captured his lips passionately, thrusting his tongue into the deep cavern, enjoying the taste of the brunet’s mouth. Kiba leaned back on his elbows, relaxing slightly as Naruto pressed in.
The blond made his way down the Inuzuka’s chest and sank his hand inside the boy’s pants, extracting Kiba’s now rock hard member. Naruto plunged his mouth over his lovers cock, and relished in the fresh, suppressed moans coming from Kiba.
Kiba thrust forward to meet Naruto’s decent, bucking his hips as Naruto bobbed up and down over his shaft.
“Ooohh … ahh-I’m going to-” said Kiba, closing his eyes as he prepared to peak.
Naruto removed his mouth from Kiba’s cock and leaned forward, bringing his own pulsing appendage to slide against Kiba’s. Naruto grasped both of their shafts in one hand and began to pump furiously, Kiba’s saliva drenched member giving lubrication to the action.
Naruto jerked even faster, panting hard, controlling his voice lest they be heard. “… Aah … aaahh … ooh-Kiba!”
The two boys restrained their cries of pleasure as they came into Naruto’s hand, cum mixing and splattering over their chests and stomachs.
Naruto collapsed onto Kiba and their abdomens met with a sickening squelch.
“Merry Christmas.” Naruto whispered.
“Ooh … fuck … Merry Christmas … to you too!” groaned Kiba, still inhaling deeply.
-
“There you two are, what have you been doing all this time?” asked Hana as Naruto and Kiba took seats at the table.
“Merry Christmas!” said Ms. Inuzuka, entering the kitchen and rushing to the counter.
“Merry Christmas!” they replied in unison.
“Here you go.” said Ms. Inuzuka, placing a cup of steaming hot cocoa in front of each of them.
Kiba heard a soft bark and looked down to see Akamaru, reindeer antlers attached to the collar behind his large cone.
“Akamaru!” laughed Kiba, lifting the pup into his lap and petting him lovingly.
Naruto smiled and memories flooded in on him of Christmases past. Sitting alone at a table, eating a microwave turkey dinner. Running full tilt from a gang of men trying to hurt him. Leaning over a gas station sink as he inhaled line after line of white powder, trying desperately to make the pain go away.
A tear slid down his cheek and landed with a plop into the brown cocoa below.
“Naruto, is something wrong dear?” asked Ms. Inuzuka, noticing the moisture leaking from his eyes.
“… No. Everything is just perfect.”
