Don't Touch my bear

Chapter I – I can explain this….

Ok, I can explain this….I think?

I certainly know this is improper, even more after what I did, but he's by far the cutest thing I've ever seen, I can't help it even when he is beyond mad with me. Now, I know I should get a grip of myself, if the look he's giving me is anything to go by I'll end up being ripped to shreds too.

But by any means I, Hyuuga Neji, do not intended on dying because of a stupid game of truth or dare even if it was by his beautifully soft little hands, so even if it was completely out of character it was time for salvation mode.

"Gaara, I can explain…"

************+ Flashback +************

"Neji wasn't that a little too much…..even for Lee?"Tenten asked.

I looked at my before mentioned teammate as he came to seat again next to me, of course I knew that Sasuke would go all fire jutso on him for touching Naruto, and smirked "He looks fine to me."

The smugness was quickly slapped off of my face when I saw the look Tenten was giving me, shit.

"Oh joyful moment,Tenten-san! Looks like it is your turn, let your youthfulness blossom and light your ideas my dear-"

"I get it Lee, no need to worry I'll be creative, very" She interrupted her team mate, giving me a sweet smile.

At that point I started to become uncharacteristically nervous, my throat had become dry, my palms were sweating and I was thinking what could she have on me that could make a really dreadful dare? And then it hit me, Gaara was in town.

Why did I agree to play this game?

"Well I'm pretty sure you will not do my truth so…You know Sabaku no Gaara is in town right? I know you know so it's simple you just have to break into his place and take something very precious, something very…Gaara" She said resting her chin on her hand.

I raised an eyebrow. How the hell should I know what very gaara was?!...oh right I like him, but still does gaara even have something that precious? (It's Gaara we´re talking about so, yeah)

More importantly, gaara may not have that dark aura surrounding him anymore but he still had killer instincts, and he had killed people for much less than stealing.

"Don't give me that face, and so that you can't say I'm a bad friend I'll tell you something really useful. He has a little bear, he doesn't walk around with it but he certainly brought it to Konoha"

I stared at her with a 'How-the-hell-do-you-know-that?' look but Tenten didn't care to answer so I ended up breaking into the Kazekages's house.

Thankfully there was no one home so I started searching for Gaara's room, 5 minutes later I find myself opening the door at the far end of the hall on the second floor, it was the only room which the walls were covered with bookshelves and ancient scrolls.

There were some books stacked near the bed, that was right in the middle of the big room, and some others scattered on it. I couldn't help but smile picturing Gaara seated in the center of the bed or on the floor, surrounded by so much information. The image seemed adorably fit.

And then it hit me, the object, I looked around bear…bear..bear, I got closer to the bed but then out of the blue I sensed some highly concentrated chakra. I couldn't recognize it, so just for safety I did some hand signs making my chakra travel through the house has electricity and release a small neurological shock in the chakra source, big enough to make the person faint for enough seconds for me to escape.

Suddenly something really bad happened, I heard a small explosion noise from under the bed and when I bent to see what it was, the damn bear was ripped to shreds. I reached, pretty quickly, to the conclusion that the chakra must have come from the bear. That , and the fact that I was in deeeeeeep shit.

But don't worry, it got worst, gaara suddenly appeared in the room. I tried to keep a straight face, after all Hyuugas had to keep their composure even when stealing, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened, and that was how we reached the current situation.

************+End Flashback+************

"You see gaara, it wasn't my intention to rip - I mean damage your bear." I said awkwardly.

"Who said it was mine?" I eyed Sabaku no Gaara from head to toe.

He has killer instincts, an amazing power that could kill a person in seconds but still that little panda-chan aura surrounding him was a dead giveaway that the bear belonged to him.

"Yeah right…even so I'm sorry and knowing I can't buy something like that anywhere I'm willing to do any punishment you find suitable" the worst thing that could happen was ending like the bear….but gaara wouldn´t do something like that, right?

"You have to replace him." He said coolly.

"Gaara I can't recreate something like that, I didn't even knew it was possible to do teddy-bears with chakra…" This was not going well.

"I know, that's why you are going to replace it with yourself." He finished matter of flatly.

What? How the fuck is that even possible?

"For a full week you'll be with me, you may fetch your personal belongings; you're my bear starting today."

Like that, a few minutes later, and a lot of death promises to Tenten there I was on Gaara's couch with my stuff next to me waiting for him to come out of the shower. And when he came out with a light blue PJ that had little pandas printed all over them I came to another realization, this was heaven, for a full week! (Jesus Christ Neji you sound like a teenage girl.)

The room was silent when Gaara grabbed me by the hand and took me to his bedroom, told me to change into my pj and asked me if I was hungry, to which I answered that I had already eaten at home. He looked around for some book and when he found it he finally turned around, needless to say that Gaara's blushing face was beyond cute.

We stood there looking at each other and even not being too certain about it, (actually not being certain at all about it) I could swear Gaara was staring at my naked torso as he blushed.

We sat on the big bed and the red head started to read, completely ignoring my existence, but after fifteen or so minutes he looked back at me cutely blushing again.

"I can't sleep much so you better take your rest." His voice was quiet as he told me to sleep ahead but somehow that didn't seem right, you know, me being the substitute bear and all….

" oh come on, I won't let you awake and alone while I'm here" right, I shouldn't have said that, but he is so cute blushing (ok never mind) I managed after that to convince Gaara into sleeping, I even was a little bit surprised when he suddenly snuggled with me and it was actually cute the way he justified himself.

"What? You're my teddy so bear whit it." He said. It didn't take long for his breathing to become slow and steady and he actually managed to snuggle closer. And I being the great substitute bear I was put my harm around his waist and let myself drift away in the warm that his petit body irradiated.

Just before falling asleep I thought that it would be perfect if this moment lasted forever.

It was around 3 in the morning when I got a front seat show to why Gaara didn't sleep much, it started with low groans and it only escalated to him screaming and punching whatever was on the way, that meaning me.

Of course I was irritated but then I noticed that he was crying with such a painful expression that I couldn't contain myself, I held him in my arms bringing us both to a sitting position and started to pet him and whisper soft words to his small ears.

It took a while but Gaara's breathing became regular again and soon he became to relax, after that I didn't have it in me to lay him so I drifted back to slumber with him on my lap.

Now I knew that maybe, just maybe, I couldn´t explain this.
