That Damn Mutt (Kankuro x Kiba)

Chapter Thirteen

"Kankuro, you're finally out of your room!" Temari said happily.

"Yeah, maybe I should've stayed in their longer. Why you guys gotta do that shit on the table. The table where we eat," Kankuro said.

"Yeah..." Temari sighed and looked at him, "sorry Kankuro. About what I said before. During our argument. I didn't mean to yell at ya."

"It's fine. Whatever. Kiba.. I'm not that hungry anymore, I'm going back to my room.." Kankuro muttered and quickly went right back up.

Kiba watched Kankuro go off and he bites his lips. He then looked at Temari who was looking through papers. He slowly walked over and noticed her looking at recipes. She sighed softly as she at the options, Shikamaru standing by her.

"So what argument did you two have?" Kiba asked softly.

"Yeah Temari, it seems to be bothering both of you." Shikamaru added.

"Well, I just was talking to him about the accident. And I was teasing him which I shouldn't have done and he snapped at me. Saying I spend too much time in Konaha and that I should've been screwing with him because I wasn't here to save Gaara. That his puppets were destroyed because he was the only one who went after our little brother in the first place," Temari said softly and pulled out a recipe.

"Oh..." Kiba mumbled softly.

"Hey. It's not your fault. Okay?" Shikamaru said to her and nuzzled.

Kiba watched and tapped for Akamaru then went upstairs. Akamaru followed close and he opened the door. Kankuro was in his bed, cuddling up a bit and looked like he was sleeping so Kiba stayed as quiet as possible
He snuck into the room and started to clean the pieces a little into piles.

"Don't worry. I'm not asleep," Kankuro muttered.

"Oh..." Kiba said softly and laid with Kankuro, Akamaru curling at the foot of the end.

"Sorry, I'm an idiot. I'm so stupid," Kankuro muttered.

"This isn't your fault and it's not Temari's or Gaara's. It's who attacked. Kankuro, I'll help you as best as I can with the puppets until you leave," Kiba explained.

"Thanks...I'd like help," He said and slowly cuddled into the younger one.

"Alright I will. After you eat and sleep. You're moody as hell," Kiba smiled.

"Oh shut up, I'm not that moody." Kankuro smiled back.

After a bit of them laying there, cuddling close Kankuro popped up hearing the door. He quickly got up and pulled away from Kiba, going to the separate side of the room. Leaving Kiba in a tired daze on the bed. It wasn't Temari or Shikamaru but Gaara. Kankuro waved a little as he saw he little brother and walked over.

"Hey Gaara," Kankuro said.

"Hello brother. Temari said that dinner is ready. She made your favorite as an apology because she is not good with words," the redhead said.

"Okay thanks," Kankuro nodded.

The older one waited for Gaara to leave but he didn't. He stood there looking around the room and the pieces. He rubbed over a piece of the hand and then looked at Kiba slightly before looking at Kankuro.

"I am very sorry for your puppets. It is my fault and I understand if you are mad at me," Gaara said softly.

"Nope! You shush. None of this is you, Gaara. Let's go dinner. Come on, Mutt" Kankuro said and he walked out.

The dinner was rather quiet and awkward but Kiba had to admit, this food was amazing. Temari knee how to make some good stuff and Shikamaru was lucky. Kiba wondered if Kankuro had skills like her but he shrugged. Kankuro listened to Shikamaru and Temari start to talk and they were smiling at each other. Temari with a big dork one and Shikamaru with a little smirk. Kankuro messes with his hands and glanced between them. After they were finished Kankuro stood up and smiled.

"Thanks for the food," he said over to his sister.

"Of course brat," she smiled back.

Kankuro nodded and gently nudged Kiba to come back to the room. Kiba followed instantly like a puppy and once they got to the room Kankuro locked it up. He then laid down and patted the room beside him. Kiba slowly got into the bed and cuddled close to the older one. Kankuro was very sweet and it was pretty cute, slowly moving close and giving the jonin a soft kiss. They kissed for quite a while, holding each other close as they felt Akamaru sink the bottom of the bed. After quite a while of making out Kankuro seemed more tired—about time. Kiba smiled and let's his claws out and runs them gently over Kankuro's skin which made him shiver a little. He smirked and gave another kiss, letting his claws sink back in.

"Sleep~Kankuro. You know you want it," Kiba hummed.

"I..hmmm, sl..sleep..." Kankuro mumbled and nuzzled his face into Kiba's neck softly.

Not long after that was Kankuro fast asleep and Kiba felt accomplished. He hoped this boy would sleep long than he has because he felt awful. He wanted to take care of Kankuro as much as he could, he liked—maybe loved—that sand nin. He blushed a little at the though and nuzzled in closer. His hug grew tighter and he smiled as there was soft little snores from the other. Eventually those might get bothersome but right now they were cute and soft and Kiba didn't mind what Kankuro did, as long as the boy was happy.
