"Two to one, I win." Kiba crossed his arms, sticking his chest out proudly and smugly rubbing under his nose.

'Two to one.' He says. 'I win.' He says.

"Nope." Kankuro then looked back to his cards and smiled, ending Kiba's moment of victory and slamming his cards down on the table. "Three to two. I win."

Oi, are you guys hearing this? 'Three to two.' He says. 'I win.' He says!

Well, you know what I say? SOMEBODY BETTER COME FUCK ME IN THE A-

"Ah, ah, ah," Kiba placed his hands over Kankuro's as he tried taking the prize tickets to some weird yacht thing in the center. Who even goes on yachts? "I win. Four to three." Kiba then proceeds to reveal his cards. Didn't he just say two to one earlier?

You know what? Screw it, I don't even know what we're playing.

"I hate this game," I complained, throwing the cards on the center of the table and banging my head on it. I was dying of boredom.

First, Temari throws us out of her room before I could begin giving Kiba a full makeover and now that we know about it, every single student in the school seems to be extremely chirpy about the festival. You know what I say?! TOO MUCH HAPPINESS, NOT ENOUGH ANGST!!

Honestly, can't anyone see that I'm practically dying both on the inside and on the outside?! Only Kiba, my one best friend in the whole wide world can help me rid of this pain! Only he could say the right words to lift my spirits! Only he can help me get over this—

"Guys, I gotta take a shit." Kiba excused himself from the table.

Okay, maybe not. 

But Kankuro! At least I know he can be funny if he really tries! Anything he says is always good!

"Ah, crap. The Wi-Fi's down."

...now I really feel like crying.

"Hey, cheer up, Naruto,"  Kankuro says to me as he offers his oh-so-healthy drink. 

Honestly, how dare he even offer that? We all know the only reason he ordered it was because Kiba likes all the same healthy crap Iruka likes to drink and here we have this idiot trying to win him ov...er.

Oh, wow. Even Kiba has someone who loves him. Oh, but don't you even begin to think I'm easily going to hand my best friend over to Kankuro just like that! He's going to have to prove himself worthy before touching a single hair on my best friend Kiba and I'll make sure of it! Now that I think about it, does Kiba even swing that way? I know I've seen him tease people every now and then, but was he actually hitting on them or is that just how he gets along?

Anyways, I sighed deeply as I set my head down on the table while Kankuro and I waited for Kiba. Once a few minutes passed and there was no sign of my best friend from anywhere, I let out another sigh.

"Dude, ever heard that with every sigh you let out, you're letting out happiness?" Kankuro asked, evidently tired from the number of sighs I've let out ever since being shamefully exiled from Temari's room.

"You've been spending too much time with your brother," I complained. "I hear he's quite the walking book of deep philosophies."

"Hey, what can I say? He's my brother."

"True. But either way, I'll sigh until there's no ounce of anything in me."

"Cheer up, man. What exactly got you down?" Seeing as I gave no answer, Kankuro then leaned in towards me. "How about after Kiba comes back, we go check out that new yacht your dad bought for the school?"
