A/N: I had previously done a story like this but I had decided to take that down since I had no idea how to continue it. I have entertained the idea of Lee being in that situation and decided to write about that instead! Lee is my favorite character in Naruto, he is so cute and lovable even though he had a bad past, filled with loneliness and ridicule.
So here is this story!
Damn I really do have too many stories to do, but I will do them all because I want people to know and see what it's like for these certain characters to be uke. For they deserve that special lovin! Lol.
Disclaimer: I bid for it but I lost TT^TT...so unfair!
Title: Save your Sorrow
Lee sighed as he sat on the branch of a tree. His small body slightly tired but he wouldn't let it affect him. He didn't want to be a burden to the class and knew that staying away would make sure that they wouldn't pick on him. The boy in green Chinese clothes looked up at the sky, swinging his legs back and forth. He didn't hear a pay attention to anything until he heard children laughing. Lee looked at the direction of the park and smiled. Maybe someone would want to play with him! The short seven year old jumped off the tree and ran to the park. When he got there, he was forced to stop, he hid himself. Before him was a...odd scene. A red haired kid with black rimmed sea green eyes was walked towards a bunch of scared kids
"M-may I play?" the red head asked shyly. As soon as he spoke the others kids screamed and began to run away.
"W-wait!" the child yelled out reaching towards them. Lee's eyes widened as he saw sand come from the ground and go after the kids. 'Wha…What is happening?' he thought to himself 'why are they treating him like that...' Lee felt sadness at that and the urge to comfort the little boy who was now crying by himself.
"Why do they run..." The boy whispered to himself while looking at the ball in his hands.
Lee couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and walked out of the bushes. Slowly walking to the red head he said "H-hi!"
The six year old boy looked up quickly, his eyes widened and he said "W-who are you?"
Lee smiled said "I'm Lee, what's your name?" he put his hands behind his back, looking at Gaara shyly
Gaara looked at the ball in his hands, uncertain then said "Gaara" he glanced up then back down "um..do you want to play?" he asked, his small voice tinged with hope.
Lee's smile grew, feeling warmth in his heart, he nodded "Sure!" then he stood and stepped back "Let's play, Gaara-kun."
Gaara looked at Lee with wide eyes then smiled widely, nodding "Yea!" he let the ball drop and kicked it to Lee.
A few hours passed as they played a modified version of soccer. The fell, they laughed, they had fun, and they didn't even notice as the sun began to set. When Lee finally did notice he kicked the ball up, letting it fall back on his foot so he could continue to kick it up
"It's getting late Gaara-kun. I think you should get home." then he looked at Gaara. Gaara looked heartbroken and was staring at Lee
"but I want to play with Lee more!" Lee looked surprised at the want and gave a happy giggle. He let the ball drop an walked over to Gaara, he smiled lightly and said
"Don't worry, Gaara-kun, we will play tomorrow"
"Really?"
"Yes, I promise" Suddenly Lee fell to ground as Gaara tackled him in a hug. Lee squeaked in surprise then laughed, he never felt so accepted before. He was so happy that he said
"Why don't I walk you home?" ignoring the fact that he had to meet with his class. Since Lee was only at Suna as a fieldtrip, they were meant to learn new things about culture by staying for two full months.
"Yea!" Gaara got up quickly and took Lee's hand, pulling him up and in the direction of Yashamaru's home. Lee giggled again, he couldn't stop smiling for some reason, Gaara made him feel light and happy. He had almost forgotten about what he saw earlier, with the sand.
When they got to the home Gaara opened the door yelling out for Yashamaru happily, and pulling Lee into the house as well. Lee looked around nervously, not knowing if he should really be there.
Soon a man with blond hair came into the hallway and said "Yes Gaara?"
"Look, look, I made a friend!" said Gaara while hugging Lee's waist, and smiling widely.
Yashamaru's eyes widened and he looked at Lee. Their was something in his gaze the put Lee on the edge. Then Yashamaru said "Oh?" smiling so his eyes squinted "and what is your name?"
Lee looked at the man trying to hid his nervousness, "I'm Rock Lee, sir" he said quickly, blushing softly. Then he turned to Gaara and shifted nervously, he wrapped his arms around Gaara's shoulders and said "I have to leave now, Gaara-kun" he pulled back and gave a small smile "I'll see you tomorrow, ok?"
Gaara nodded happy yet sad at the same time "Bye Lee..."
Lee rubbed Gaara's hair softly, happy to be able to actually be so familiar with someone. Though he didn't completely know that Gaara felt the same. He went to the door then shut it behind himself.
The next morning, Lee sat up from his bed. He gave a yawn and stretched then rubbed his large black eyes. He swung his legs to the side of the borrowed bed and stood up. Lee walked to his bag and got out another Chinese outfit, once again green. He went to the bathroom, stayed there for about fifteen then came out. He braided his long, slightly damp hair and went to his window. Lee unlocked it then stood on the window seal. He glanced around for just a moment then snuck out and made his way to a certain red heads house. When he got there he smiled slightly and climbed to a window. By pure luck, he noticed it was Gaara's and tapped lightly. From inside, Gaara's head snapped up and he looked at Lee. A wide smile came to the child's face and Lee saw sand come to the window.
The sand unlocked the window, lifted it up, then circled his waist, pulling him in. For a moment, Lee felt like a doll as he as now hanging in the air, but that line of thought was interrupted as he saw Gaara get up and himself set down.
"Lee! You came!" Gaara ran and hugged Lee tightly, burring his face in the young boy's neck.
Lee giggled and wrapped his arms around the paler boy's shoulders "Of course I did, I promised didn't I?" he grinned "I always keep my promises!"
Gaara nodded happily. He was worried that Lee had lied and was going to leave him like the others. He liked Lee and didn't want to lose the older male. Lee ran his fingers through Gaara's hair and asked "What do you want to do today?"
Gaara nuzzled Lee's neck again, feeling happier than he had in a long time. He smiled widely at Lee and said "Let's go to the park again!"
Lee giggled softly and said "Yosh! I will follow your commands Sir Gaara-kun!" while giving a mock salute and sticking his tongue out cutely
Gaara's eyes widened and his smile grew "Really? Okay lets go Lee!" he nuzzled his face into Lee's neck once more. He held Lee tighter in his arms as sand slowly swirled around them, making their bodies disappear. He wasn't going to tell Yashamaru, it wasn't that Gaara didn't want to but he didn't want to lose any time with his new friend.
When they appeared in the playground again Lee grinned excitedly "Wow Gaara-kun! That was so cool! I wish I could do that!"
Gaara blushed, grinning as he suddenly felt proud of his power. He liked making Lee smile so much.
Soon the two began playing soccer like they did yesterday. Gaara would kick the ball to the young academy student and Lee would kick it back happily. They continued their little game, running after the ball, kicking it, and laughing. Gaara kicked it a little too hard and Lee ran after it cutely, his long braid bouncing in the air. It was then that Lee bothered to notice that people where staring at them, at Gaara with fear and Lee with uncertainty. Lee frowned light, growing annoyed and angry for his only friend. When Lee came back with the ball he said "Gaara-kun, do you want to see where I'm staying?"
Gaara nodded thinking that it would be good to know where Lee lived, so he could watch his friend at night. They began walking and Gaara thought for a moment then blushed slightly. He looked at Lee nervously and said "Lee?" Lee gave a curious hum, smiling widely and Gaara reached, too nervous to say anything. He took Lee's hand in his own. Lee blushed brightly and looked at Gaara surprised, his heart seemed to flutter and his tummy felt weird.
Gaara smiled like he was given the best gift in the world and continued to hold onto Lee's hand.
Lee grinned and squeezed Gaara's hand when he saw the complex they were staying in "Look Gaara-kun! That's the place!"
Gaara looked and smiled a small smile, not putting together what it meant, that Lee was not staying forever. He let Lee pull him into the place and up the stairs. They paused for a moment before going into Lee's room. It was shared but no one else was in at the moment.
Lee ran over to his bed and jumped onto it. He sat down then pat the area next to him "Sit with me Gaara-kun!"
Gaara nodded and walked over, he got onto the bed and sat close to Lee to the point where their thighs were touching.
Time seemed to pass to quickly as they played together in that room. They were in the middle of playing house when they noticed the time.
Lee pretended to have a plate of food and said "I made you dinner, Gaara-koi!" it was obvious that he was the wife.
Gaara pretended to get the imaginary dish and said "Thank you, l-love" he blushed lightly, his heart feeling warm. For once, Gaara couldn't stop smiling. He felt another emotion that he never felt before grip his heart. He felt like he never wanted this to end, that he never wanted Lee to go away.
Lee giggled then finally noticed that it was dark inside the room. He looked around worriedly "Gaara-kun…I think it's late…"
Gaara looked as well and noticed that the moon was out. He frowned wishing that it was still day time. He looked at Lee and said "I guess I have to go…"
"I'll go with you!" Lee got up, ready to leave, at least it would give him more time with his friend.
Gaara shook his head, the thought of Lee walking home by himself…in the dark. It didn't sit well with him. He stood and said "Don't worry Lee. I will be fine."
Lee looked even more concerned "Are you sure? You could get hurt…"
"No, I will be protected by my sand. You would get hurt if you walked back alone."
Lee blushed as he didn't think of that. He nodded reluctantly then hugged Gaara tightly, his arms wrapping around Gaara's neck "Be careful, okay?"
Gaara wrapped his arms around Lee's waist. He suddenly smelt a sweet scent on Lee. like honey. He took a deep breath. He pulled away and said
"I'll be careful, goodbye!" then went to the window.
He jumped out of the open window and sand carried him away.
Lee sighed once more and just got ready for bed. He slipped under his covers and slowly slipped off into sleep. He was unaware of the visitor he would get later.
Barely twenty minutes later, Gaara had come back to the hotel. He was floating outside Lee's window. The demon holder looked into Lee's room and smiled as he watched his friend curl into a ball in his sleep. Gaara spent almost the whole night watching Lee sleep.
