Chapter 2: At first glance

RIIING RIIING RII-*BAM*

A tan hand could be seen slithering back under the blanket away from the smashed clock. A blonde mop of hair snuggled deeper into the warm blankets not wanting to get up yet. Sleep was always hard to shake from the blonde boy…especially on Mondays.

A voice could be heard on the other side of the door. Though muffled, it could be heard perfectly. And it was angry.

"NARUTO!!!!!! Get you ASS out of BED before I come in there and GET YOU OUT OF IT MYSELF!!!!" Screamed the angry voice. "You are going to be LATE AGAIN!!!!"

"Uhh…alright already. I'm getting up." Naruto mumbled. Slowly, he got out of his bed and headed to the shower. After a quick shower he went to his closet to get out something to wear. Today was going to be just like any other day. Boring. The only upside to going to school was that he got to see him everyday. Gaara Sabaku. His secret addiction. Since the first time he laid eyes on him he was hooked. Red so red it looked like blood. Pale creamy skin that so soft that it made his hand ached to touch his beautiful skin. Teal eyes that captured and held his gaze. Those eyes held such deep emotions that he couldn't help but wonder what was going through the boy's mind.

Naruto looked through his closet to find anything that caught his interest. A burnt orange short sleeved shirt with a royal blue undershirt that was in the back of the closet caught his eye. He had forgotten that he bought that shirt a long time ago. Naruto picked it out and grabbed dark blue jeans that looked slightly faded and got dressed. Running a hand through his hair he got his socks and shoes on. Naruto then headed down stairs to get some breakfast.

His adopted dad, Iruka Umino, was at the stove fixing up eggs and bacon. He walked towards the cabinet and grabbed a cup of instant ramen noodles. Only to get his hand smacked with the spatula that Iruka was cooking with. "I don't think so Naruto. I went to all this trouble to make you breakfast and you are going to sit and eat it!" Iruka exclaimed.

Grumbling all the way, Naruto sat down and a plate was served in front of him. Taking out the chopsticks, he started in on the eggs. "Why can't I have ramen in the morning? It's so much faster than eggs and bacon." Naruto complained.

"Because it isn't good for you to eat ramen all the time! Do you know how much sodium is in that stuff?? You could become a diabetic just from eating that stuff! Do you want to end up like you grandfather, Mr. Sarutobi?" Iruka raved.

"No…I'm sorry. I'll cut down on it. I promise." Muttered Naruto.

"Thank you. That's all I ask."

"So where is Kakashi?" Kakashi was Naruto's other adopted dad. Both Iruka and Kakashi adopted him when he was 6. They had just got permission to adopt even though they weren't domestic partners. That was 11 years ago. He had never been happier. Staying at the orphanage wasn't all that cracked up. Naruto was teased mercilessly and beat up on because he was always the smallest out of everyone. Also because of his "whisker" scars. He had gotten those when he was shoved through a shattered window when he was three. Needless to say he was taken out of that foster home. From then on he stayed at the orphanage until Iruka and Kakashi adopted him.

"He left for the school already. Said he wasn't going to be late for his meeting because they were firing people today. Don't worry. He isn't one of them." Iruka quickly explained when he say the worried look Naruto gave him. "You need to get to school now. You are going to be late again and I'm not writing you a note again. This is the 5th time you have been late this week. I'm starting to worry about you Naruto. You haven't been sleeping good lately."

You have no idea Iruka. Having wet dreams can do that to you. Naruto thought to himself. After finishing he breakfast he grabbed his car keys and headed out to his car. Not before grabbing his backpack. Can't forget that again.

Outside was a silver with royal blue racing stripes down the middle 2008 Shelby GT500KR. His baby. Unlocking the doors, he slid into the driver's seat and started the engine. It came to life with a nice purr. Backing out of his driveway, Naruto headed to school. Halfway there, he saw Gaara and his sister. Pulling over a bit he rolled down the window so that he could speak to his secret addiction.

"Hey Gaara. Temari. You guys want a ride? It'll be faster." Naruto could see the conflict in the girls eyes. He could also see a light blush spread over Gaara's beautiful face.

"U-umm…s-sure." Gaara stuttered. Oh man! I can't believe I stuttered! I'm such a loser!! Gaara and Temari walked around to the other side and opened the door. Temari leaned in close and whispered in Gaara's ear, "You can sit in front by your crush." Gaara's blush darkened. Temari got into the back and Gaara slid into the passenger seat when it was fully put back.

Naruto glanced to his right at Gaara as he pulled back onto the street and drove towards the school. It was silent as they made their way to Naruto's assigned parking spot. Which just happened to be in the front where all the students were. As they all got out, a black 2005 Mustang GT pulled up alongside Naruto's car. The driver got out to reveal the one and only Sasuke Uchiha. He was wearing his usual dark blue short sleeved shirt that had his family crest on the back with his black jeans that hugged his ass.

Sasuke looked over at Naruto only to see two people he never would have thought to see with him. What is he doing with those losers? He's supposed to be with ME! Why won't he notice me? Yes, Sasuke Uchiha was very jealous of Gaara and Temari because he had a crush on Naruto since he was 15. But because he was an Uchiha he couldn't have Naruto. It wouldn't be proper. It didn't matter that his perfect brother way gay. Oh no. HE could do whatever he wanted and STILL could do no wrong, but he so much as even hint that he liked another male, he gets threatened to be disowned! How fair was that?

"Hey Sasuke!" Naruto yelled out breaking Sasuke from his thoughts.

"What are you doing with them, dobe? Lowering your status in life?" Sasuke sneered.

"Why you-" Temari was cut off by Naruto.

"No. I am not lowering my status in life, teme." At that, Gaara looked away hurt. He thought Naruto was different. But then Naruto continued. "I am raising it by hanging out with them. Come on Gaara. Temari. We have classes to go to." With that Naruto turned around and started walking, leaving a shocked Sasuke and a smug Temari.

Gaara turned and tried to catch up, but before he could he was roughly pushed down to the ground by an angry boy. Turning his head up to look at his attacker, he wasn't surprised to see Kiba Inuzuka. One of the main ones that like to push him around. Today Kiba looked down right furious. I wonder what I did this time.

"Look the loser fell. You going to cry? Hmmm, loser?" Kiba taunted. He was about to say something else when he was punched on the right side of his temple. Turning around, he expected to see the bastard's sister. His eyes widened in surprise at who it was.

"What the hell Naruto? Why the fuck did you hit me?" Yelled an enraged Kiba.

Calmly, Naruto walked around Kiba and helped a shocked Gaara up. Without turning to face Kiba, he coldly stated, "If I ever see you do something like that unprovoked again…" He turned his head to stare Kiba down. "I will make you wish you were never born. Do you understand me…Kiba?"

Shakily Kiba nodded his head yes. Man! I've never seen Naruto this mad before. Not since we broke up…but that was a long time ago. And no one still realizes that Naruto is gay. But I will never betray him. Not after everything we have been through. He must really like this Gaara Sabaku. I never would have guessed. Kneeling in front of Gaara with his head on the ground he did something that no one has ever seen Kiba Inuzuka do. "I apologize for my behavior. Can you forgive me Gaara? Naruto?"

Naruto's eyes softened at the site. He knew Kiba was truly sorry. Or else he would never bow to anyone. Looking towards Gaara, he almost laughed at what he saw. Gaara's eyes were opened so wide his eyes looked ready to pop out. His jaw hung open setting off the shocked look. But his opened mouth made Naruto think of what he could do with that mouth. Mainly sucking his dick and then running his tongue along his- He cut off those thoughts before he had a problem that he wouldn't be able to take care of.

"I forgive you Kiba. You have to talk to Gaara here since it was him you pushed for no reason."

Temari came up behind Gaara and put her hand on his shoulder. This seemed to shake him out of his daze. He nodded to her showing her that he was alright. "I forgive you to Kiba as long as you don't do it again."

Kiba nodded yes and then got up from his bent position. "Thank you." With that he walked off into the school building. And everything seem to resume as if nothing ever happened. Students hustled off to class and whatnot.

"Thanks Naruto-kun. That was real nice of you." Temari said as she dragged Gaara off to their first classes. They left Naruto alone in the grass at the front of the school.

Sasuke walked up from behind him and grabbed his arm roughly before he started to drag him to their first class. "Come on, dobe. We are already running late now. Hurry it up." With that they started to sprint to their first class.
