...When I next realized it, the light was hitting my face. It must be morning. I looked around after opening my eyes… Kiba-kun is still asleep. I looked at my phone… damn, it's really early. I went to bed late and woke up really early? What is that?
I might as well make some breakfast. Since I was selfish last night, I will make it up to Kiba-kun and make him some breakfast. I'm sure he likes my food.
I went towards the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for him. I like watching him sleep… Yeah, that doesn't sound right at all. It makes me sound crazy that I watch him sleep. But just to see his cute face sleeping… Well, it's nice. He usually has a pained look in his eyes, but when he's asleep… he looks peaceful. I wonder if anyone realizes that he carries such strong emotions behind his face smile?
"Unn."
He's waking up. His eye lashes fluttered a little as his eyes opened. His eyes scan the room, then they fall on me. His mouth curls upwards.
"Good morning sleepy head."
I practically sang out. He stretched his arms and yawned.
"Good morning. What time is it?"
"Still early. You're welcome to go back to sleep. There's plenty of time."
"No. Allow me to help you with breakfast."
I gave a nod. He stood up… and something else is standing at attention! I shouldn't look but… is this the… morning wood I've heard guys have sometimes? My face turns bright red as I check out his… yeah. I covered my nose as it started bleeding! It's big! Huge even! I can't stop looking! Kiba-kun! I can see it! It's only covered by a small piece of cloth that is his underwear!
Noticing my look, he tilted his head to the side.
"Is something wrong?"
Does he not realize it!? Either he hasn't noticed or he doesn't care! Kiba-kun y-your t-t-thing!
"PENIS!"
That's the thing I come out with!? I covered my mouth in embarrassment! Of all things, I say that!? He looked at me like I'm a complete nutter… so Rias-senpai basically. He gave me the Rias-senpai look… then looked downwards following my gaze...
"AAAH!"
He covered himself with his hands… to my.. .disappointment. Fuck! I'll admit that I wanted to… yeah… uwah. I've been hanging around Menma-kun too long! His perverseness has rubbed off on me!
"I-I am so sorry!"
"N-No, it's totally fine. I-I guess… t-that's the… erm… morning wood, yes?"
His face turned bright pink and he nodded shyly. Ehehe… I'm tempted to say "Want me to take care of it?" as a joke to see what he does. But… I think that would make the situation more… awkward.
We stare at one another for several minutes, not saying anything. I don't know what I can say. Each time I say something, it comes out with embarrassing words or… I talk about morning wood!
"...Food will be ready soon..." I mumbled out. This is very… awkward… I wonder what he was dreaming about? Or maybe it's… I don't pretend to know why males get morning wood.
"G-Great."
"Penis… ok."
I banged my head on the table as he went into the bathroom. Uwah. Ok, Naruko. Calm down. One day, you'll see it for real… that was just a practice run… for God sake! Stop thinking weird things Naruko! He's going to think you are insane if he already doesn't!
I finished making breakfast as he exited the bathroom. I set the table and dished out the food wordlessly. I sat down and started eating it.
"Kiba-kun!"
"Uzumaki-san!"
We spoke at the same time. I guess it was embarrassing for both of us.
"Ehehe, don't feel embarrassed Kiba-kun. It's just a biological function after all."
"Y-Yes… it was still erm… embarrassing. And please understand that I didn't mean to erm..."
"You don't have to explain it to me Kiba-kun. Don't worry about it. J-Just enjoy your meal."
He gave the smallest of nods and just kept his head down. Well… this is like square one again. The time before I had talked to him properly. Now we are like strangers as we eat this food. I still need to see if Menma-kun is ok. He looked down last night about being a Pawn. Pawns are like… good pieces. They are basically like the Queen but they need permission from the King to promote. That's the only different between Queen and Pawn. Queens have the power all the time and Pawns need to be promoted to gain traits of the other pieces. Or that's how I understand it anyway.
"Uzumaki-san… erm..."
"Y-Yes, Kiba-kun?"
"N-Never mind. It doesn't matter."
I cry to myself. We've gone back a phase! We had become closer and now we are slowly drifting apart… uwah! So like that, we continued eating and eventually, finished. I went into the bathroom and got dressed.
After getting dressed, I went into my kitchen and got out three bento's. My own, Menma-kun's and Kiba-kun's. Since he wants me to make them, I prepare them a day in advance.
"Ready?"
"I'm ready."
So we left my apartment to go to school. We talked together and became closer again. Talking like we have been since yesterday. As we were walking together however, I heard conversations of passing students.
"Why is she with the Prince again...?"
"Is Kiba-kun dating that redhead?"
"They've been seen together a lot lately..."
"There's no way! He's too good for her!"
They are right after all. He is too good for me. I've been hearing this a lot lately. Someone like me and someone like him being together is something that wont work after all. Without warning, I started running away! It's stupid thinking I could ever be with someone like Kiba-kun!
"W-Wait! Uzumaki-san!"
I heard his voice behind me but I kept running at top speeds to school. I just need to… I don't know! I'm not good with people talking about me. When its people I know, or I despise then I can speak. But if its people I don't know then I just freeze and want to leave the situation.
CRASH!
I crashed into someone and somehow ended up on my butt!
"Ow… I'm sorry."
I apologized without looking.
"Ow! Naruko-chan! Geez, watch it!"
That sounded like Menma-kun. I looked and… it was Menma-kun. He stood up and helped me to my feet.
"Thanks, Menma-kun."
"Yeah… what's wrong?"
I shook my head and I feel tears stinging my eyes. This is so stupid. I'm getting worked up over something that wasn't going to happen anyway. Kiba-kun was just being nice to me after all. He has all of those other girls to pick from. Girls who are taller, bigger breasts and prettier than I am.
"I-Its nothing. Don't worry about it. A-Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. But you aren't. Tell me, what's wrong?"
"...You know, I've been getting closer to Kiba-kun lately. And I actually thought for a second or so that he might actually like me back. But..."
"Don't tell me he rejected you!?"
I put up my hands and continued to shake my head.
"No! He didn't. I've not said anything about it. It's just, for a few days now… I've been hearing things about how Kiba-kun wouldn't be interested in me from passersbys. And they are..."
"Wrong! Completely wrong! I've heard it also, and its complete bull shit! I didn't take you to be a person who listened to others and take their words to heart. Aren't you Uzumaki Naruko-chan? The girl who doesn't take crap from anyone? The one who broke Motohama's nose because he tried being pervy with you? The girl who doesn't let anyone walk over her? Where's that girl?"
"B-But..."
"No buts. If you want that idiot Kiba, then go and get him!"
A smile appeared on my face. That's right. I don't take crap from anyone! I'm not going to let some bitches who are jealous get in my way!
"You're right Menma-kun! Hmph, watch out girls, no more nice Naruko!"
"Haha! That's the spirit!"
I grabbed him by the head and placed a small kiss on his cheek. He rubbed the place I kissed with a red face.
"W-What did you do that for? Your Prince will get jealous."
"He's not here. And it's only a kiss on the cheek. Its a thank you. You reminded me that I don't take any nonsense. Now I'm going to go and find Kiba-kun and apologize for running off without explanation."
Menma-kun started laughing for some reason.
"Hahahaha! You left the Prince in the dust!? I wonder what his reaction was!?"
That's a good question. I shrugged my shoulders at him.
"Well, I have to go, Menma-kun. Let's talk later."
"Right!"
I then ran off in the direction I came from before. No more messing around now! Those bitches be damned! I ran and ran then I found Kiba-kun walking with girls crowding him. He looks uncomfortable. Don't worry Kiba-kun, I wont let them be around for much longer. I got close...
"Uzumaki-san! Y-You came back. I-I'm glad!"
What I did next shocked everyone around. I took Kiba-kun's head and placed a small kiss on his cheek! I-I just kissed his cheek! Everyone around is gasping.
Kiba-kun blushes furiously then kisses my cheek! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! He kissed my cheek! My face burns with the hotness! His lips touched my cheek!
"""AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"""
Yeah that's right bitches. He did that of his own free will! I looked at them, they all ran off crying! Ha! Take that! I then looked at Kiba-kun with a red face.
"Sorry about that. I didn't know what came over me. I just..."
"They shouldn't have said those things, Uzumaki-san. Our relationship is our business. It hasn't gotten anything to do with them. Come on, let's go to school."
He took my hand and we walked off to school, hand in hand. I think our… relationship has gone up another notch. That's good! I'm glad we are going up in our relationship!
