A.N: Let me get some things straight first.. eh:
This story is just random angst, really. It came from some weird place in my brain. I can't decide if the title actually pertains to the story or if I just picked some poo phrase from my braaain..

I LOVE GAi-SENSEi I SWEEEAR... (don't hate me.. )

(Thoughts are in italics.)

--- Prologue ---

His was stunning. He had one-too-many eyelashes, eyebrows that sorely needed plucking, and a thick shiny mop of black hair.

He was young -- thirteen. In the middle of his 7th year of school.

Maito Gai looked at his favorite student, toiling away on the latest assignment. He watched as the smooth skin of Lee's face would crinkle in a frown as he tackled each problem, his straight pearl-white teeth chewing absently on his eraser. The long, slender fingers that held his pencil languidly.

He was perfect. A blazing stark contrast to the rest of the world. He was bright, bubbly and just genuinely happy.

How easily he could be corrupted..

The dismissal bell rang and Rock Lee jumped a little in his seat before a smile spread across his face, his classmates rejoicing as well.He gathered his things and leaped out of his seat, ready to go home.

"Lee. Come here for a moment."

Gai's voice cut the air like a knife and Lee's heart plummeted to the bottom of his stomach. Am I in trouble?

Lee jogged up to Gai's desk, eyes trained on the ground. It wasn't until all the students had filed out of the classroom that he spoke.

"Aah.. I don't know what I did Gai-sensei but--"

"You don't have many friends, do you Lee?"

Lee's mouth snapped shut, still staring at the ground. Well geez. Gai-sensei sure knows how to hurt a guy.. "I.. have a few. Neji-kun..um.. (no).. Sakura-chan.. er. (yeah right).."

"Lee. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Lee's head shot up, his eyes wide. "W-wha? Gai-sensei, why would I--"

Gai smiled and stood up, placing his hand on Lee's shoulder. "Oh, so you haven't? That's a shame.."

Lee just looked at his teacher, confused. "Gai-sensei, I'm a boy.. why would I--"

Gai leaned down, his mouth hovering above Lee's ear. "It's okay. I'm here now.."

Slowly, a cold feeling a dread creeped down Lee's spine. Slowly, Gai slid Lee's bookbag off his back and pulled his student close, hands wandering. Slowly, tears in his eyes, Lee learned that fighting back was useless.

A.N: God, I'm going to hell. Oi.. it's short 'cause it's just a prologue. The real chapters will be a lot longer. And I'm sorry if Gai doesn't seem to make any sense but basically.. um.. --le sigh-- it made sense in my mind..
