Warning: Heavy on the angst in the beginning, heavy on the smut in the end. Yaoi, so here be men going at it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: Written for a swap over on Y!Gallery, KibaNaru, because the world needs more of these two dorks together. Four chapters, will be publish in the next couple of days.

I LOVE YOU, BRO

Kiba felt strong arms wrap themselves around his shoulders and leaned back against the warm body behind him, smile on his lips. He'd recognise that body anywhere, had spent too much time together with it, locked in impromptu wrestling matches. Naruto. Best friend since they both rocked diapers and pacifiers.

"Sup, bro?" he asked, trying not to let the fact that Naruto was pressed up against him affect him too much.

"I'm booored, Kiba," Naruto whined, his breath warm against his ear.

"There's beer and music, how can you be bored?"

"I dunno. People are just talking, no one is doing anything."

"So? What do you want to do anyways, it's a party, drinking and talking is kind of what people do."

Naruto pulled away from him and plunked his tall frame onto the couch next to him, grabbing the bottle out of Kiba's hands and taking a swallow of the lukewarm beer. He made a face of disgust, but it didn't stop him from lifting the bottle to his lips again, draining it. With a loud plunk he slammed the bottle onto the table, on its side. "Who's in for Spin the Bottle?"

You'd think that at twenty-two they'd outgrown Spin the Bottle, but most of the group had gathered around the table, giggling and drinking and willingly sharing kisses with whomever they were paired with. Kiba had so far gotten away with kissing no one, while Naruto had kissed Ino and Lee. Kiba had secretly wished that the bottle would point to him each time, but no luck so far.

He had no idea when his feelings for Naruto had changed from being friendly to being this crush he was currently nursing, but it had snuck up on him. He had no intention to do anything about it though, because it wasn't worth jeopardizing the friendship between them. He just liked Naruto too much.

Kiba only realized that he'd gotten distracted when Naruto shoved his elbow into his ribs.

"Huh?" Kiba said, looking over at him. Naruto nodded in the direction of the bottle as saw it pointing directly at him. Looked like he might get a kiss tonight after all, he just had no idea who it'd be from. He looked around the circle, and instantly realised who it'd be. From the way Hinata's eyes were wide and her cheeks bright red it was pretty easy to figure out just who had spun the bottle. She was wringing her hands in her lap, and when she met Kiba's gaze she instantly looked away.

Somehow the dark-haired girl was still as timid as ever, even though she must've just been kissed by someone to have been the one to spin the bottle.

Kiba knew the girl well, having gone to school with her for years, so he decided to make it easier for her. Rather than wait for her to gather the courage to walk over to him he did the job, leaning over the table and placing a chaste kiss to her cheek. Kiba didn't know how it was possible, but she blushed even deeper red.

As he sat back down he wasted no time in grabbing the bottle and sending it spinning. This time he paid attention as it spun around. It slowed down. Not Lee, not Sakura, not Shino, not… it stopped. Kiba gulped, but the rest of the group laughed.

"Well, well, lucky you," Naruto said with a grin that showed off all his pearly whites before he pursed his lips at him, fluttering his eyelashes. Kiba groaned and shook his head, but couldn't help the grin that rose on his lips. Sure, he might have a crush on Naruto, but the blond was still his bro, dorkiness included.

"C'mon, Kiba, put the guy out of his misery and kiss him already," someone yelled as Kiba didn't immediately lean in to plant one on the blond.

"And we don't want some quick peck this time, we want a proper kiss!" Someone else added. Ino, Kiba realised quickly. She was grinning, and her phone was in her hand. Kiba suspected she was preparing to take pictures, but whether it was for blackmailing purposes, or just for her own enjoyment Kiba had no idea. Not that he really cared either way.

Normally he wasn't shy about these things, anything resembling a dare and he was good to go, but this was Naruto. Sure, they'd kissed before, under similar circumstances, but back then Naruto had just been his friend and it didn't mean anything. Now though... Ah, who was he kidding, the crush wasn't enough to really change things between him. Naruto was firstly his friend, and as a friend Kiba was gonna show him that he abided by the rules of the game.

He wrapped an arm around Naruto's neck and pulled the guy close. "Take some good ones," Kiba said to Ino who was unabashedly pointing the camera on her phone towards them, and then he leaned in, pressing his lips firmly against Naruto's. For a moment Naruto didn't react, but then he played along, kissing back properly. His lips were soft and warm, and for a moment Kiba almost forgot that there were lots of people watching them.

"We want tongue!" Ino yelled at them, Sakura giggled loudly besides her, obviously agreeing, but not prepared to be as boisterous as the blonde.

Kiba managed a small shrug, and then his tongue licked at Naruto's bottom lip, earning himself a whoop from the girls. Naruto wasn't about to back down from the challenge, so he parted his lips, his tongue lashing with Kiba's for a moment before they both pulled away, grinning.

They leaned back on the couch, Naruto with his hands behind his neck, Kiba with his arms slung over the back of the couch, trying to pass off the I'm totally unaffected by this look, not quite sure if he managed or not. He knew it was just for fun, but damned, that kiss had been something!

The game dissolved pretty soon after that. Their kiss was hard to top after all. Kiba nursed another beer, was feeling the alcohol create a buzz. Not enough that he was outright drunk, just enough that he was feeling all relaxed and good. He loved these parties with the gang, loved how good friends they were, having known each other since middle school or high school respectively. They always made sure to get together whenever they were back home in Konoha, seeing how some of them had moved to other cities to study. Not Kiba though, Kiba worked with his parents, helping out at the veterinary clinic his mother ran. Naruto had likewise stayed in Konoha, working at the local hardware store. Neither of the two had any grand plans for the future, so they hadn't bothered racking up the student loans just to get some useless degree in arts or literature.

Kiba leaned back on the couch, enjoying the music and chatter of people around him when he felt a buzz in his pocket. Pulling out his phone he saw an incoming message. He had no idea who'd text him in at 2 am, seeing as how most of his friends were here at the party with him.

Lazily he swept his thumb across the screen in the pattern to unlock it. The message was from his sister, a fact that was pretty unusual since she never texted him. They weren't really that close, with the six year age gap between them.

"Kiba, you still awake? I just broke it off with my boyfriend, can you please pick me up and take me home? He's being an ass."

Kiba frowned. Something had obviously happened; no one just randomly broke up in the middle of the night like that. And if she was asking him for help she had to be kind of desperate. She still saw Kiba as her baby brother and claimed that he was like one of the puppies she worked with, always needing help with everything.

"Naruto, Hana needs me, I gotta go."

Naruto looked over at him. "You driving home?"

"Yeah, I gotta pick her up. She's just over on Green Street; I'll just drive by and pick her up."

"Can I come with? Mom and dad are away so there's no one to pick me up. I could crash at your place?"

Kiba shrugged. "Sure thing."

They quickly said goodbye to everyone and headed outside. The air was crisp, and it felt good. It helped sober Kiba up some.

Kiba was seriously regretting the last few beers he'd had, but he figured he would be good. It was in the middle of the night, so there wouldn't be anyone else around, and he only needed to go to where she was, then she could drive whenever they got there. He hadn't drunk that much, so he was only a little buzzed. He'd just put on the air conditioner on full blast to clear his head, and hope the police wasn't out tonight.

Jumping into the driver's seat of his beat-up Toyota that he'd bought with his own hard earned money he buckled in and turned on the ignition, glad that the rust bucket started at the first try. It wasn't always the case. Naruto jumped into the seat next to him and immediately started fiddling with the stereo, changing out the CD when he wasn't happy with what Kiba had been listening to. Kiba just let him find something and focused on the road, putting the car into gear, hearing the transmission scream in pain when he didn't press the clutch in properly. With a wince he adjusted and headed down the driveway.

They'd spent the evening at Neji's place, on the outskirts of town, so there would be some abandoned country roads before they got to the city properly. It shouldn't take more than twenty minutes to get to Green Street though, maybe less now that there weren't any traffic.

Naruto had settled on some old-school rock, and was currently in the middle of some air guitar routine next to him, singing loudly alongside the CD. He was horribly out of tune, and messed up the lyrics more often than not, but he obviously didn't give a damned. Kiba just chuckled, very used to how Naruto never could sit still for long. They had that in common.

Making sure to not let himself be distracted Kiba focused on the road ahead, blinking hard to clear his head. He was starting to think that maybe going for a drive now was a bad idea, but he had to help his sis, and it wasn't far. He just needed to keep his eyes on the road, and he'd be good.

He hadn't really been to Neji's a lot, so the road was pretty unfamiliar to him. He knew the direction he needed to go in though, so they'd be good.

Kiba yawned. He was starting to feel sleepy. It had been a while since he'd stayed up this late, he usually he got up early to help out at the clinic. Forcing his eyes to keep open he saw a sharp curve in the road ahead. Blinking hard he turned, only realizing that he'd taken the turn way too wide, ending up in the opposite lane, when there were lights from an oncoming car directly in front of him.

"SHIT!" he hissed and wrenched the car towards his own lane. He'd miscalculated and gone into the curve way too fast.

The other car laid on the horn, honking angrily as it passed them, narrowly missing them. Kiba barely noticed as he felt the brakes protest when he stomped on them. The steering wheel didn't cooperate as he tried to straighten up the car again. The wheels locked, and he must've overcompensated because he was suddenly too far to the other side, and he could only hang on for dear life as he felt the wheels go off the edge of the road and catch on the gravel.

Later he would never quite be able to recall what had happened and why everything had gone so horribly wrong. He'd tried to get back on the road, but it had been too little, too late, and they slammed into the railing, hard. He remembered the horrible sound of metal against metal as his car met the rail and lost the fight, sliding along it as the metal buckled underneath the force of the impact. His mind couldn't really comprehend what was going on, and all he could think of was to wonder why the hell they weren't stopping, they hadn't been going that fast had they, shouldn't they stop by now, oh God why weren't they stopping?

Then they ran out of fence and everything went from bad to horrible as the car went over the edge of the cliff, slamming into rocks as they flipped. Kiba was tossed around in the seat belt, head slamming painfully into the side of the car, and then everything went black.

When he got to later on it was to blinding pain and a deafening silence. He was hanging from his seatbelt, and it took his confused mind a good minute to realize that it was because the car was upside down. He groaned and clutched a hand to the side of his head. He was bleeding from a gash just over his ear, and his ears were ringing. Trying to make sense of things he looked around, but it was dark and hard to see. What had happened, why was the car upside down? Fuck, he couldn't get his mind to work with him; it was all cotton and pain.

Then he saw a shock of blond hair, and his eyes widened when fear flooded his system. Naruto! Naruto was with him! They'd been in an accident, and Naruto had been with him. He wasn't hanging from his seat like Kiba was though; he was lying on the floor-roof-of the car, not moving.

Kiba panicked, scrambling to unbuckle his seat while screaming out Naruto's name. Finally it unsnapped and he fell down, landing painfully on his wrist, but not caring. He scooted over to Naruto, hands shaking as he reached for him. He touched a shoulder, surprised to find it sticky. He pulled his hand towards him again, and in the dim light of the street lights outside he saw enough to realise that they were covered in what could not be mistaken for anything but blood.

"No, no, no," Kiba muttered to himself as he turned Naruto over. It was dark, but not dark enough, so the way he was covered in blood was just all too apparent. His eyes were closed, and Kiba couldn't even tell if he was alive or not. His terrified scream cut through the silence of the night.
