WARNINGS: Cursing and homosexual relations; Kankuro, 19; Chouji, 17.

Kankuro immediately headed to Kohonakagure to warn his lover of his little brother who he knew was coming to take the Akimichi's head on a spit. When he reached Kohonakagure, it was roughly one in the morning, not that the puppeteer actually cared. There was a chance he'd end up losing his lover who he cared for deeply not that he'd ever admit that to anyone…

Heading straight for Chouji's house once he slipped past the gates, the teen knocked quietly, not even considering to just sneak because tripping any traps may alert neighbors and such.

The door opened inwardly and Kankuro found himself staring down at his lover who was wearing a white tank top and a pair of yellow boxers, looking very sleepy.

'Hey,' he said as he brushed past the teen, entering the living room to find a pillow and blanket laying on the couch. 'Someone's sleeping over?' There was a subtle hint of jealous in Kankuro's tone as he asked the auburn haired male and turned towards him as he closed the door.

Awaking fully, Chouji nodded. 'Shika is,' he replied and upon realizing his mistake, began to tug the larger male away from the back where his room was. 'Kankuro stop it!' That was whispered just low enough for the teen to hear as he frowned.

Kankuro narrowed his eyes at his lover, looking upset. 'Just what in the HELL is going on here Chouji? What's he doing here?'

Chouji sighed and flashed his lower body at the teen, knowing this would take Kankuro's mind off of Shikamaru staying over until he gathered what he was going to say.

Kankuro's eyes widened and he quickly covered his nose as blood began to trickle out of it, his cheeks heating.

'D-Dirty trick…'

Chouji's own cheeks were a faint shade of red, but he quickly tossed the moment of embarrassment out of his window and spoke.

'Yesterday night was 'girl time', so Ino put Shika out,' he said. 'She's probably trying to surprise him with some new lingerie or something.'

At this, Chouji shrugged lightly, not really knowing the real reason as to why the blonde kicked her boyfriend out for a night.

'…So, you're not sleeping with him behind my back…'

Chouji pouted. Why would he do something like that?

'I love you.'

'Ditto Babe.'

Removing his hand once he was sure the bleeding had stopped, he leaned downwards to kiss the smaller male, who quickly accepted before heading into the kitchen to wash his hands.

'Oh, and by the way, my little brother wants to kill you.'

'WHAT?!'

'Shh!'

Clutching his long ponytail, Chouji began muttering 'oh no, oh no!' repeated before diving onto the couch, hiding under the cover. 'I'm not home!'

Kankuro chuckled. Sometimes, Chouji amused him to no ends and at times like this, he remembered just how young the auburn haired male was compared to him.

'Don't let him kill me!'

'Chouji…'

'Please don't let him kill me!'

'I won't let him.'

'What if you're not around?!'

'Oh, I'll be around…' To keep an eye on the Nara, that is… Bastard thinks I don't know he wants Chouji…

'Really…?'

'I promise.'

Removing the cover, the auburn haired male grabbed it, the pillow, and Kankuro's hand, taking him to the unused room which was bare (even though there was a bed inside) once he left the couch.

'You're staying over, right?'

'I won't go anywhere else…'

A slight yawn then escaped the taller male as they entered the room.

'Good. How did Gaara find out?'

'…'

'Kanku--Mmmpfh!'
