"What? What did you wanna show me?" Kiba's scrawny twelve-year-old legs were barely able to keep up with Hige's quick pace, and he's getting dragged along to some hole in the city that his best friend is taking him to, because of something there that he just has to see.
"Just look," Hige stopped running and dropped Kiba's hand before walking on up ahead. "It's a puppy," he pointed down into a semi-empty trash can.
"It's a puppy?" Kiba reached in without hesitation to lift the baby husky from the unfortunate bedding. "Aww, who put you in there, boy? Hmm? Who's so cruel they'd just leave you behind?" He pet the whimpering animal, cradling it as he swayed himself left and right like it was a baby.
"Since you like money so much, I thought you'd like to be the one to return this little guy to Ashburrow drive,"
Kiba cast Hige a belligerent glance. "It's not that I like money, I just need it." He watched Hige remove the dog's collar from inside the can. "I found the dog, and when he moved to look up at me, I saw this. He must have wriggled out of it,"
"I hope you didn't put him in the can?"
"Me? Never. I love animals!" Petting the dog on the top of its head, he then said to Kiba. "I don't know who put him in there, but it was pretty jerky. I just needed him to stay put so I didn't move him. I'm just hoping it wasn't someone who owned it- pet owners can be weird sometimes." He undid the collar's clasp to return it around the dog's neck. "Let's give him back to his home."
"Yeah." Walking to the park exit, Kiba casts Hige a small smirk. "It's lucky he's got an owner, Mrs. Cher would never let me and Toboe and Cheza have a pet. And we know what a clutz you are as a pet owner."
Hige blinked at that comment. "How so?"
"Neptune," Kiba sang.
"Neptune was... well... He really shouldn't have inhaled the water, didn't that dumb bird know what a bath was?"
"What bath? You maimed him with the hard spray!"
Hige waved innocent hands. "I hadn't done it on purpose, that's the real point being made." Stuffing his hands into his pocket, he watched Kiba nuzzling the puppy and felt a bit of envy grow in his stomach. "So, Kiba, can you make it to my birthday party?"
Slanting a glance at Hige he asked with caution in his tone. "Why? Are you planning some extravagant party?"
"It wouldn't be a big deal party, I know you hate that,"
And he did know. When they were ten-year-olds, Hige planned out this whole big surprise party for Kiba, and ushered him to the park under false pretenses of wanting to play soccer with a bunch of other kids from school. Kiba went along happily, ready to enjoy his free time, but when they got to the park and he saw all the streamers and food and games, his friends and loved ones, he broke into a fit of tears. He hated it, and flat out refused to celebrate. Toboe was disappointed but he didn't hesitate to go back to their home with the Lebowski's to keep his brother company.
Hige had never figured out what the problem was, and he didn't dare to ask. A lot of the time, when he would ask Kiba questions, the reply would be vague or not at all. Sometimes Kiba would even change subjects on him. It could be very frustrating for someone as inquisitive as Hige is.
Walking the edging of the curb as if he were on a tight-rope and needed to balance himself, the Moon boy then he lowered his foot up and down the small dip from the sidewalk to the street. "But, y'know, just a small get together of our closest friends and your brother and Cheza."
"Oh. But, no, I don't have work or anything. I'll definitely be there."
After returning the puppy to its happy owner; Hige and Kiba, who's now 50 dollars richer, went downtown to the party store to look over theme plates and party favors. It would seem to a somewhat well-to-do Moon family a small gathering was a semi-blowout because they bought favors, games to play, gifts to get for the winners of the games they'll play, balloons for helium and water, and the coup de grace a motorized racing boat for Hige's gift.
Kiba thought it was odd for Hige to buy a gift for himself, Hige also bought a boat for him as well so they could play with them together. As far as birthday presents go, he liked surprises. Not so much in life. Even so, gifts were always such an oddity to him, he didn't really want anything. Kiba really just wanted his home back and only hard work and money could give him that gift. The home has been empty for some time now, and all the Wolf family's things were returned to it, cleaned and polished. The home sat in the neighborhood like a mausoleum. No one physical lived there, maybe not even restless spirits. But it gave Kiba peace. Peace that his parent's scent was restored to their bedroom with a simple spritz of their perfume and cologne, and the use of the couple's favorite soap in the bathroom.
Cher had helped with the expenses, as promised, and Kiba focused more on his studies and school work, but he maintained his job at the flower shop. Now and then he would sneak over to his home and just sit in his parent's bedroom, taking in their scent and refreshing their memory while telling them what's been going on with him and Toboe. He continued to help with the cost of the home, which wasn't as expensive with the utilities turned off. And, as promised, he got a raise once those models came through and the business took a boom in sales.
Kiba couldn't believe how stupid the whole thing was. What did good looks have to do with flowers? They were the same as they had been any other time of the year, why were customers so interested in them now? He was glad Hige wasn't shallow. Hige liked him for him, and not because he thought he was handsome.
'Come to think of it, Hige's never really paid me any kind of a compliment... He's really a great friend,' A small smile spread across Kiba's face, and he grabbed a hold of Hige's hand.
One would think Hige had been a victim of a cold finger run up his spine with the way he stiffened, but he quickly relaxed playing it off like the wind caught him off guard. Looks like he was in for another night of imaginative-lover. Hige was kind of embarrassed about it, to be honest, he didn't think about sex or anything like it until his feelings for Kiba shifted from friend to love interest due to the most mundane thing.
It was earlier in the year when the feelings came about. They were doing homework at his house and Kiba was explaining the science assignment to him, he was watching Kiba's profile and found himself appreciating the lines of his exposed ear. Hige traced the lines with the tip of his index finger, and fell for Kiba like a bulldozer had barrelled the feelings there because instead of brushing his touch away or casting him a stink-eye look, Kiba only smiled as he continued explaining the problem.
Kiba Wolf had changed a great deal after he'd gotten a raise from the ladies at the flower shop, he seemed more accessible than before. Hige had always thought that work that was worth a raise would create a busier schedule, but if Kiba was working harder he had a casual way of showing it and somehow that intrigued Hige's interest more. Kiba's so mature and centered, it's irresistible. He removed his hand from Kiba's and brushed it down his pant leg; he chuckled before returning the hold of their hands.

Kiba felt his eye twitch. When he left the house that morning with Toboe and Cheza he hadn't expected to arrive at Hige's place and see more than two friends occupying the backyard along with a very brightly colored and oversized bounce castle.
'Hige, what happened to not making a big deal out of it?' he shook his head and decided to just buck up and go along with it. The party wasn't for him, after all. There was just no changing some people. He could understand that. But still...
Last year Kiba had an almost perfect birthday party. Hige was out of town visiting his father, which is the only thing keeping the day a little low on the 10 point scale, but his friend sent a gift to him in the mail- a check for 100 dollars, along with instructions that Kiba buy himself whatever he'd like with it. Kiba didn't buy anything with it, he stuck it in with the rest of his savings and enjoyed a batch of marble cupcakes and an animated movie out and a pizza dinner with his new family.
But with Hige, it was always a social event, the Moon child likes people; unfortunately, Kiba has to be a part of that sometimes, and birthdays with Hige are one of those times. It isn't that he doesn't like his classmates, none of them have been cruel to him, or bring up his parents anymore- not after the first year of their death- but, you know how it is.
"Kiba! Over here," Hige waved him over, draping an arm around his friend's shoulders once he was close enough to him. "Is this fun or what?"
"I only just got here, but, what's with the bounce house?" Kiba looked over his shoulder at the shaking monstrosity.
"That was my mom's idea, she said it's her gift to the atmosphere." Shaking Kiba's shoulders, he beams a large grin at his best friend. "I've been in there four times since it's been blown up, you gotta try it."
"Okay," he chuckled happily. He's happy that Hige's happy, and his friend's joy is contagious- it always has been.
He looked for his little brother, not surprised to see nothing but Toboe's foot as he disappeared into the castle with Cheza close behind him. The kids all bounced and chatter through breathless excitement, they left the colorful trampoline to eat chips and cupcakes and pizza or drink tropical fruit punch juice in 'The Tiger Ninjas' themed plastic cups he and Hige had picked out at the party store. They loved that show, and even with his sometimes busy schedule, Kiba was sure to keep up with each episode.
The mini games around the yard amused Toboe and Cheza and his classmates, but Kiba mostly watched them playing around to win little things. Hige preened as he accepted all the birthday greetings and well-wishes with a smile and a ready 'thank you' to those who verbally or physically offered one; only a couple of the kids treated it as any other party that didn't specifically belong to anybody but that was fine too.
It's been Kiba's experience that no one on the planet has a birthday and aren't completely embarrassed by the cake being brought out, all the focus is on you, off-key singing from your friends and loved ones, and the make a wish applauding. Birthdays can be very exhausting once the fun and edible deliciousness ran out, but even when you don't want it, it feels nice. And by the time everyone went on home happy and full, and Toboe and Cheza took a decided nap on their way back to the Lebowski's, Hige and Kiba are alone at the Moon home to play in the bounce house doing Judo tosses and wrestling pins.
Kiba fell on his back, exhaustion finally setting in, he just wanted to rest now. Hige joined him in the center of the trampoline, but rather than laying down he crawled small circles around his friend.
"Pretty good birthday, huh Kib'?" He stopped moving to look down at him.
"Yeah. I've never had mushrooms on a pizza before, it was good." Was his coy reply.
"Oh come on, you liked more than that," Hige flopped down on his back but rolled over onto his side to look at Kiba. "You've gotta learn to have fun at times like these. I shouldn't have to keep reminding you of how old you are."
Kiba squinted at Hige in mock anger. "Oh? And how old am I?"
"Old enough to play around and not be such a square."
"It beats being a weirdo," Kiba smiled.
"You wish I was the weird one in this duo," Hige snickered. "Lift your head," he slides a pillow beneath Kiba's head. "So, do you wanna hear my fun idea?"
"I'm guessing it's something that involves pillows. Are we gonna have a pillow fight?"
"We're gonna sleep out here like camping," Straddling his best friend, Hige bounces up and down on his lap excitedly. "Isn't this great Kib', when we wake up we can just start playing- so long as we don't get too loud." He bounces even harder.
The Wolf boy felt a heat in his cheeks and turned his head as if to hide it in the pillow. "Hige, get off." He whined. He did not like how his body was reacting to his best friend bouncing on him.
"What for? This is what you're supposed to do in a bounce house." He snickers, his high pitched voice lowered a hair so his Mom wouldn't overhear and think he was harassing Kiba. His dad was had taken Toboe and Cheza back to their home. "Why don't you make me move?" He teased further.
Shifting his hips, Kiba tries shoving Hige aside with his hand but that only made his friend press further down against him. "Hige," Kiba insisted.
Laughing more, Hige says. "I think you like it, otherwise you wouldn't be blushing." Looking down when he feels a lump press into his groin, Hige's grin widens. "Oh-ho, what's this?" He grabs Kiba's package giving it a squeeze.
"Hige don't!" Kiba, this time, manages to shove his goofy friend aside. Scooting away from him, he lowers his gaze in an embarrassed blush. "Cut it out, alright."
Rolling his eyes, Hige crawls closer to him. "Hey relax, this happens to me all the time."
"I'm no idiot!" Snaps Kiba. Lowering his tone he then says. "It's happened to me too, but... it's how I get rid of it that's embarrassing and I'd rather not go through your house with this to pee."
"Pee? That works?" Hige sat up against the wobbling wall beside Kiba. "Gee, I should have tried that out."
"Why? What have you been doing?" Asks Kiba not knowing what he was getting into.
"Here," he reaches for Kiba's fly, "let me show you."
"Hige," He smacks his friend's hand away, "what are you doing? Your parents could come out here."
"It's ten o'clock and my parents work in the morning- and are currently distracted. Besides, the first time is always really quick."
Uncertain, Kiba asked. "It is?"
"Sure. Trust me, now lay down."
Still unsure of what his friend plans to do, Kiba lays down on his blanket. "Go ahead."
"Alright." Rubbing his hands together in anticipation, Hige stuffs the warm appendage into Kiba's pants cupping the brunet's balls with his palm.
He smiled when Kiba twitched and let out a low heated sigh. His breathing grew heavier with each roll of his nether region.
"Good stuff, right?" Only problem was now that he's giving Kiba a handjob, he's got his own to take care of later, although with the vocal treatment Kiba is offering it won't take him long to get rid of it. He's never heard it out loud, the low sighs and sensual sounds of his best friend. Those moments were within his mind as he daydreamed in bed at night with his hand in is pants.
Eyes cracking to a slit when his thighs tighten, Kiba looks down at Hige's hand wondering how he hasn't become a shut-in to do this to himself nonstop; his azure gaze lowered to the helpful Moon boy's lap seeing a similar lump there and decides to help Hige out by mimicking what's being done to him.
By the end of it, Hige was on top of Kiba's lap hunched over receiving the most jumbled, yet, wonderful handjob that he himself could never do or ever imagine, since it was only ever his own hand pleasuring him.
Going inside to clean up had been like an assignment for a true ninja. Mrs. Moon had gone off to work but Mr. Moon was still hanging around the house, he felt no need to go back home right away since his wife is out of the house. He was seated on the couch watching a football game and eating some of the leftover pizza from the party.
Kiba and Hige scurried up the stairs as stealthily as they could and managed to spirit away into the safety of the bathroom, where they closed and locked the door. Both young teens snuck peeks as they dropped their pants and toweled away the mess left inside their boxers and against their bodies. Though their hands worked the towel quickly over the sullied surfaces, their glances took their time seeing all that was to be seen, which was fairly easy since they chose to stand in front of each other.
Walking into Hige's bedroom, Kiba was the first to crack a smile before laughter rang out from Hige over what they'd done. It was exhilarating! The two laughed and laughed until exhaustion won over and they had no choice but to stop.
"I'm sorry, Kiba," Hige sat at his desk, a safe distance from Kiba who sat on his bed. "I think I might have taken advantage of you,"
"What do you mean?"
"I've been wanting to do that for a while," Hige sheepishly scratched the back of his head with a guilty smile on his face. "I just never had an opening, it's kind of the reason that I wanted to camp out in the bounce house."
"To take advantage of me? Hige, you dog." But Kiba was smiling.
"So... What do you think? Are you still interested in camping out in the bounce house, or are we finished from there?" Hige's brows rose in a silent request that the answer be said here and now rather than thought over.
"First, I just wanna say that I never exactly agreed to stay over in the first place, much less to camp with you in the backyard... But," Kiba's gaze shot to the window, and he did his best to conceal his delight over the idea of being alone with Hige in new ways.
He's never thought about sex, though he's aware of it. It just didn't cross his mind like other guys. He's got more important things to think about. He wondered what it meant for the two of them. Did fooling around make Hige his boyfriend or was it just a 'something' between them? He's seen movie trailers talking about friends with benefits. Is that what they'll become after today? Looking at Hige he wondered if he wanted that sort of friendship or did he want the more?
"It's kinda weird, though... I've never even had a first kiss and you're asking me to do this?" Kiba shrugged his shoulder. Their isolated incident was starting to come clear from the fog and the Wolf boy was starting to see a two-way street but didn't know which way to turn.
Hige seemed to be debating that statement, then he got up from his seat and crossed the distance between them. He leaned over before Kiba and closed off the gap between his shocked friend and himself.
Kiba's wide-eyed gaze shuddered shut as he tasted a soft sort of sweetness from the cupcakes they ate earlier, and a comfortable sort of warmth from Hige's breaths in and out of his nose. Even after what they'd done in the bounce house, his heart rate hadn't sped up like this. He's never been touched this way, more private than anything that went on with his privates- and you were supposed to hide that sort of thing from viewers. But to be kissed... It made the muddy as clear as glass.
It couldn't be anyone but Hige for him. All these girls at school would giggle and ask him if he was free to do something, or young girls would come around the flower shop and watch him through the window, he could tell because what girl would steal shy glances at a bunch if flowers or even at the florists who own the shop? But, he's never cared or paid them any particular attention, not even when they flat out told him they like him. The only young person who could get Kiba's time outside of his brother was Hige. And when he placed his hand up to grab Hige's shirt, he felt something else for the first time that day ... Someone, not related to him, loved him.
Hige broke their kiss, thinking that Kiba's latching onto his shirt was his way of asking for him to give them a breather. Hige smiled at Kiba, a kind, and a sweet smile that he's never offered his friend before and then he asked so quietly and privately. "So, can we?"
Kiba didn't trust his voice not to squeak so he simply nodded to confirm. But it was more than just agreeing to sleep in the backyard with his friend. It agreed to so much more.
