Naruto muttered under his breath, "So now you wanna know?"
"Shit, no, I don't wanna know, but I want you miserable even less! So come on, tell me what they told you, so I know whose ass I gotta kick if they dump you." Kiba nudged Naruto with his foot, and nudged him again when Naruto didn't answer right away. "...What about Sakura? Wasn't she in love with Sasuke at some point? Aren't you afraid she...?"
Naruto gave a little snort, and a smile blossomed on his face even though he did his best to keep it down. He turned his face away to hide it. He wasn't gonna be giddy in front of any of his buddies. "Oh, I know she's still in love with him." He gave up and grinned like he really wanted to. "But when a chick has a meltdown because she can't choose and if we hurt each other she's gonna maim us both until we match... Heh." His voice went a little quieter after that. "...I like that she can't stop loving Sasuke. Because I can't, either. You see?"
Kiba stared down at a handful of grass he'd been tearing out, flustered. "... Uh. Not really. I'd be kinda jealous if I were you. But -- well, you know her." He raked his hand through his hair. "And, er. Sasuke? I mean -- what does he say? He, uh. He doesn't mind...?"
"Mind what? Sharing? It's not like we're leaving him a choice." Naruto knew he looked disturbingly cheerful, and didn't even care that Kiba was accordingly disturbed.
"--What?"
"Dude, after years of chasing his ass down only for him to stare through us and be all 'I barely remember your names and I never really cared and now go away', you hear him say 'why are you groping me' and you just know it's Sasuke-talk for 'we should be fucking already'."
Kiba blinked once, twice. "Uh, Naruto. You know how I wanted to know about your love life because I was kinda concerned, yeah?"
"Yeah?"
"I changed my mind. You're on your own. Never tell me anything ever again."
Naruto burst out laughing. Kiba shook his head in chagrined bemusement.
"... I mean, I'd offer to beat them up for you, but for you freaks that kind of sounds like foreplay."
Naruto gave a fox grin, full of white teeth. "Well, it kind of is."
"Oh, gross!" Kiba exclaimed with a laugh, and shoved Naruto right into the river.
Back on the riverbank, Akamaru sighed at the silliness of his master and friend, and launched himself in the water after them, drenching them both all over again.
Needs a better ending but i can't think one up right now.
