Popsicles and Carrots
A story by Songstone
Songstone: Well, this is for a
friend of mine on DA. She drew an awesome picture of Shukaku Lee from
my other story, One Day. So, I'm giving her this as a thank you
(plus, she gave me this prompt. XD). I'll give you all a link to the
Shukaku Lee picture if you want. Just lemme know.

A year and a half.
Lee thought that after being together with Gaara for so long, he would at least be able to sit and have a normal meal with the redhead. And yet that wasn't so.
Popsicles. Carrots. Bananas.
It seemed that his mind just continued to swirl and race until he was thinking rather improper things at really improper times. Dinner with the Kazekage should not be as stressful as it was for Lee! He should be able to come home, sit down and eat a quiet meal with his lover; maybe talk about different topics of interest. But his mind should not, repeat not, go into the gutter!
And yet, that was exactly where it always seemed to end up. The one time Lee had bought Gaara a popsicle while the redhead was in Konoha for a visit had been a mistake. That was where it all had started.
But . . . just the way the cherry red popsicle slid into Gaara's mouth while the two thin lips molded around its form so perfectly . . . it had been so distracting that Lee had forgotten to eat his own ice cream. It had dribbled onto his shirt, which in turn gave him a good excuse to leave to the restroom to save himself the embarrassment of being asked why his pants looked so tight.
But the popsicles weren't the only things that did that to Lee. There were times when bananas were brought to Suna and Temari brought some home. That was a rather stressful time as well. After waking up and cleaning himself off, Lee liked to start his day by getting something hearty to eat before he ran outside to begin his rigorous training schedule. But when those damned bananas were there . . .
Bouncing downstairs and finding Gaara absently slipping a banana into his mouth wasn't really what Lee needed. Expecially when he really didn't have the luxury of a cold shower as a back up plan. He tried to hide some of the effects that watching the display often had on him, and succeeded most of the time; managing to wiggle out of the house to train and force his body to forget about the very tantalizing sight he had just left.
Oh, and carrots. The carrots were fast becoming Lee's least favorite vegetable. Why didn't Gaara chop them up? Did he really have to eat them raw? The Kazekage liked to crunch down on the orange vegetable whole instead of chopping them up. Lee would always watch despite the fact that it would always end up with him excusing himself from the room so he could fix the 'problem' between his legs.
It always intrigued Lee how far Gaara could put the carrot into his mouth before he bit down and severed one part from the base. That part usually made him cringe, though it sometimes helped to chase away the arousal working through his body.
Yes, it was one thing to watch Gaara licking and sucking at a popsicle. Another thing to admire him delicately sliding the tip of a banana between his two perfect lips. But watching the Kazekage eat a carrot was only interesting up until the part where teeth clamped together roughly and tore clean through the orange vegetable.
Somehow, that just wasn't as appealing as the popsicles.
Songstone: All right, as always, please R&R! XD
