Summery → I had never thought twice about the boy. The boy sat next to me in every class for the past year and yet never said a word. I just categorized him as a silent, maybe a little shy, stoic friend. But that all changed when one day the "maybe shy" boy bit me and called me his "mate"! WHAT THE HELL?! –GaarNaru

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO :/
~~Last Chapter~~
"We're not…human?" Naruto sniffled into the red head's chest. Gaara sighed and hugged the blonde closer.
"No." Gaara said in a whisper, kissing Naruto's forehead.
"Have I ever been human?" Naruto asked bitterly. Gaara frowned, but let it slip from his face as he heard the distress in the tone.
"In heart, yes, but not in body. We are born Shifters." Gaara pulled Naruto out from his chest and kissed his lightly on the lips. Naruto closed his eyes, something in his head telling him that he couldn't be mad at Gaara. The redhead happy to see he didn't pull away.
"We'll be together?" Naruto asked in a small voice, his red eyes slowly melting back into its original sky blue.
"Forever." Gaara said with a smile, his golden eyes phasing back into the deep meadow green it once was.
Naruto smiled back and interlaced their fingers together; he fell back into the redhead's chest and sighed.
"I guess it won't be so bad." Naruto said, his eyes falling heavy as a wave of exhaustion hit him hard.
Gaara cuddled close the sleeping blonde and pulled what was left of the blanket over their bodies and allowing his eyes to shut as well. He normally didn't sleep, his raccoon nature almost forbidding it, but he felt safe with his mate so close in his arms. Gaara let himself relax and soon fell asleep.
(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Waking up was…strange. My usually hazy morning head was clear and I could feel my limbs perfectly. Blinking a few times I looked around the barely furnished room and felt my toes twitch. Most mornings I have to stumble around for ten minutes before I can get a sense of my legs, but I felt as if I had been awake for hours. Strange.
My eyes weren't heavy or scratchy. Bringing up a hand to wipe away the nonexistent sand in my eyes I frowned. The air looked as if it had been power-washed, everything was so…clear. Blinking a few more times I tried to turn and climb out of the bed, but then I felt the other side of the bed shift, and the memories flooded back.
Stopping all movements I became a statue, silently hoping that the other wouldn't wake up and see me blatantly staring at him. His mouth, mumbling a few incoherent words, looked so red and soft as he slept. I couldn't help but watch the redhead for a moment, it was like seeing him for the first time again, and he look so peaceful. His once perfectly styled hair was tussled from sleep, and the blanket was wrapped around his bare shoulders,...just like me…OH GOD I FORGET WE'RE NAKED!
I slapped a hand over my mouth before I could say the frightening thought out loud. Looking down, my face burned at the sight of our resting bodies, mine only partially covered with the blanket. Fighting off the sudden panic I looked around at the ground for my clothes. My shirt and pants were thrown in opposite directions and, after frantically throwing my head in every direction, I saw I was missing something even more important ...I couldn't find my underpants!
Oh god what was I thinking!?
"Looking for something?" Gaara asked in an all-knowingly deep voice, pulling a pair of gray and black striped boxers from under the sheets. Naruto whipped around at the voice and blushed, snatching the underpants from his hands. Gaara held in a laugh but let a smile stretch onto his face at the embarrassed teen.
Naruto yanked the blanket away from the smiling boy before quickly wrapping it around his body like a burrito, leaving just enough room to see his blue eyes and a tuft of his blonde hair. Said burrito-boy rolled himself off the bed and pulled his clothing into the blanket-cocoon. Gaara blinked at the reaction, only briefly glancing down to see his lack of clothing, before getting up and lifting the wrapped blonde into the air. Naruto let out a manly squeak as he was pulled into the air, blankets and all. But instead of freezing he threw his hands into action. Gaara chuckled at the squirming burrito, pulling the sheets apart, and watched as the blonde fell to the ground.
"Haha!" Naruto said cheerfully as he got up from the ground fully clothed. Just like a foxy butterfly. Gaara smiled and petted the smaller teen, happy to see the pout which came when the blonde realized the severity of their height differences.
"Put some clothes on!" Naruto said forcefully, turning his head and blocking his eyes the second he remembered the redhead's state of dress; nothing. Slowly taking a few steps backwards, Naruto took a deep breath, in an attempt to force down his embarrassment, but it didn't seem to work. Trying to keep his pride as a man and not to be seen like some blushing shy kid was much harder than he would like to admit.
Gaara raised a nonexistent eyebrow, a smirk gracing his features.
"Oh? But why should I? You've already seen it all." Came the sultry reply, the redhead's arms snaking around the retreating blonde.
"We-well we have school today! You have to get ready." Naruto said with only a small stutter at the proximity of his…lover? Is…I mean…Are we dating now? Gaara's smile slowly fell as he rested his head on top of the soft tufts of yellow. He could feel the smaller teen's tense body beneath him breathe out a relaxing breath at their proximity, before he felt a weight fall on his chest.
"I think you should stay here for a few days, Naruto." Gaara said, his hand rubbing at the blonde's back. The body on his chest shot up, blue eyes looking at him with a questioning air.
"What? Why?" Naruto asked, pulling his head away from the muscular chest, his hands ready to push the teen away. Gaara frowned, moving his hand to the soft cheek of his mate.
"It would be best if you stayed away from humans until you got used to your new body." Gaara said with care, leaning in to kiss the teen's small forehead. But Naruto just moved his head away from the contact.
"I can't just stop going to school, Gaara." Naruto said seriously, moving out of the redhead's arms and sitting on the bed. Gaara sighed and followed the blonde onto the bed.
"It will not be forever. Just a few days." The taller boy whispered as he pulled Naruto into his lap, his tongue sliding out to lick at the smooth neck before him. Emerald eyes gleaming with pride at the faint pink bite marks and red hickeys. Naruto blushed but sat still and let the older teen kiss and lick at his throat and shoulders.
"Am I that dangerous?" Naruto asked in a low voice, thoughts of a feral monster flipping desks and attacking a group of screaming students flashing through his mind. Gaara frowned with deep, knowing eyes.
"No. You are not dangerous." Gaara said, holding the teen close and pausing in his kisses. "I just want you to rest and prepare yourself. Things will be...different."
"I don't feel any different." Naruto said with narrowed eyes, pulling the larger hands off him. Well...maybe a tiny bit. But that doesn't mean I'm an invalid! I am perfectly capable of going to school!
Gaara's eyes fell with a pitiful sigh. His tussled red hair falling onto the blonde's pale shoulders. Larger arms running along the soft skin of his new lover. The transition is never easy. It would be best if he hid here. I could protect him. Gaara licked at the salty skin of Naruto's shoulder and arm. My beautiful mate.
Naruto shivered, his skin burning from the wet appendage. No! Come on, Naruto! Getting an education is much more important than...this! Naruto let out a tiny growl and gave a push to Gaara's arms, trying to stand up. But Gaara just held tighter, playfully growling back at the teen. His incisors sharpening enough to leave angry red marks up and down the shivering shoulders.
"I have...two quizzes..today! Ga-Gaara! Please, I'll be fine!" Naruto said with an annoyed huff, but the redhead could hear the aroused whine laced in. The hot breath, mouth and tongue on his shoulders, were tough to ignore. But it was the rough hands that ran along his body that kept him from running. Gaara had such large hands...and they glided...everywhere. I never thought...that I could ever be...like this. Someone's lover. Naruto relaxed into the muscular chest behind him. Inwardly sighing at the comfort he felt. He had never felt so safe. Like everything was going to be fine. Everything. It didn't matter what happened as long as he had these teen's arms wrapped around him.
Gaara leaned back onto the bed, pulling his mate with him. Humming out a smile as he felt that Naruto was willing once more.
"I really do have quizzes. And if I stay here for a few days I'll be behind in all my classes. Do you know how much work I will have to make up?!" Naruto pouted, letting the redhead play with his hair and kiss at his cheeks.
"If it is too much for you, I will help." Gaara said flipping their bodies so Naruto could lie on the blankets. His spiky blonde bangs falling to the side of his forehead. So beautiful. Gaara smirked at the blushing teen when he let the lower half of his body rest on him.
Naruto felt his body heating up, his arms awkwardly grabbed the blankets as he looked up at Gaara. The older teen was staring down at him, a smirk painted onto his face. He's going to make me flunk outta high school! Damn stupid arrogant prick! Naruto growled at the redhead, showing his newly sharpened incisors, the blush that once graced his face gone.
"I hate making up work! Because then you have to do it all as homework or stay after and you still have new stuff being added on!" Naruto complained, crossing his arms and glaring at the one above him who was holding him in place.
Gaara tried not to laugh, he really did. But seeing the younger teen so serious and cute, it was too much for the usually stoic Shifter. He felt a warmth bubble inside, it was heavy like a stone and yet light as air, and he could not hold it in. He laughed with pure happiness.
"Are you laughing at me?!" Naruto yelled. Sitting up from the bed and glaring daggers at Gaara.
Gaara ended with some soft huffs, before hugging Naruto and collapsing fully onto the bed. Naruto struggled, telling him to let go, but he ignored them. Never before had Gaara thought he would get to live long enough to experience this moment. To be with Naruto, as mates, holding each other and speaking like this. Like lovers. He felt absolutely no anger or frustration. And when Naruto looked at him, there was no sign of disgust or judgmental thoughts. It was as if he had found a piece of himself that he did not know was missing. There's no way I'm letting you go now, my little fox.
"You are...cute." Gaara said nuzzling into the blonde's neck, just breathing. Mesmerized by his mate's smell, Gaara gave a content sigh. Naruto's angry face slowly fell. Ah...shit.
"Well...I guess...maybe just for a few days." Naruto whispered, turning so he could face the handsome teen who held him so tenderly.
Gaara's eyes opened as he felt the other shift towards him. Naruto blushed, but moved so his head was right under the others'. Gaara's heart beat hard in his ears, his breath heavy in his throat, grasping the blonde's hands and holding them tight.
"Naruto." Gaara said softly, his eyes roaming over the blonde tresses that now rested beneath his chin. Naruto gulped, wishing he could wipe his hands off, because he knew they were sweating.
"...Yeah?" Naruto asked, trying to forget the fact that the redhead was sleeping in his birthday suit.
"I love you." Gaara said, leaning in and kissing the teen's head. Naruto's eyes widened, not moving as he heard the words.
"..I...Love you too." Naruto said in a whisper, as if speaking the words any louder would wake him from what could only be described as a dream.
Gaara let out another content sigh, smiling at the scent that filled his mind. Naruto. His baby fox. Right here in his arms, on his bed, and in his house. How long has he waited for this moment? Is this even reality? Could this all be some dream? Pulling the blonde closer, Gaara hummed into his ear, licking the edge and biting.
"Ah, Gaara!" Naruto squirmed, trying to turn his head away from the nips.
"Hmhmhm, cute." Gaara chuckled, rolling on top of the blonde once more, putting more pressure to his waist, hoping to get the little teen in the mood.
"H-hey! It's the morning! ...You-that...that stuff is for the night!" Naruto blushed with embarrassment, his mouth stuttering at the words.
"It doesn't have to be. We could do this all day, if you wanted to." Gaara said, shifting his hips up and down playfully, smirking sadistically at the blonde's reaction.
Naruto's eyes widened, his hands flying up to push Gaara off of him.
"N-nope, nope, nope, nope! Those things are for the night time! A-and if I'm staying here then that means there will be none of t-that!" Naruto pushed the redhead off of him and stood up, quickly putting some distance between them. I hope he doesn't take this the wrong way. It's just...this is a little too much. I don't think I'm ready.
Gaara sat on the edge of the bed, running a hand through his hair and smiling. Naruto glanced around the room, looking for anything to keep his attention away from the naked teen. Gaara saw the poor awkwardly standing blonde and chuckled softly. Standing with no shame and walked over to him, placing his hand on Naruto's cheek.
"I understand." Gaara kissed the cheek tenderly before walking over to his bureau and pulling out a pair of pants and a shirt. Naruto turned his face away, too embarrassed to watch Gaara dress. Giving a yelp of surprise when out of nowhere something smacked him in the head. Naruto angrily looked down at the innocent clothes that now rested on the floor.
"Hey, don't throw things at me!" Naruto huffed with a laugh, grabbing the clothes and throwing them back at the redhead as hard as he could. But, unfortunately, Gaara caught them before they could hit his face. And, to make matters worse, he caught them without even looking. Naruto grumbled at the impressive catch.
"Let's go for a walk." Gaara said, now fully clothed, walking over and grabbing the pouting blonde's hand and pulling out the door.
"Oh? So we can go for a walk but not school?" Naruto grumbled, but decided not to protest as he was pulled out of the room.
"Yes." Gaara said with a dull voice, but Naruto knew he was laughing on the inside.
The two quickly walked out of the house, after grabbing their jackets and a scarf for the smaller of the two. Naruto resisted at first, but accepted it after seeing the look in Gaara's eyes. A look that said "I don't care if you don't want to. You are putting this scarf on because its cold and you need it." And once they walked down the front steps and onto the sidewalk, Naruto was glad he had accepted the scarf. It seemed to be at least ten degrees colder than the day before! And not only was it freezing, but with the added wind chill, it seemed the two teenagers could get frostbite at any moment. Naruto shivered, pressing his face down into the scarf, hands tightening in their pockets. A walk?! No one would want to walk in this weather! Naruto thought, his body giving involuntary shivers as the cold seemed to cut through his jacket.
Green eyes watched the smaller boy as he started to shiver, a smirk flashing on his face for a moment. Gaara reached his arm out and pulled Naruto into his side, hugging the boy as he walked. Naruto held in a gasp at the action, his once frozen cheeks quickly melting from the embarrassment. But just as he was about to push the larger teen away, he stopped. He's warm. Naruto slowly leaned into Gaara, allowing the other to warm his frigid body. Looking up to see a glowing in his eyes…oh that sneaky bastard! He planned this! Naruto inwardly growled, but gave the teen a break. It was a clever plan and it did indeed fool the blonde. And he calls me the fox.
Naruto smiled, wrapping his own arm around the taller teen, a small giggle coming from his mouth. It wasn't like he hated the closeness. In fact, it was nice.
~PageBreak~
Naruto, so engrossed in the warmth that was coming from Gaara, did not see that they had walked to the town's local park. It is a beautifully clean park on an average day, but today seemed off. His nose twitched as he smelt something…utterly repulsing! Scrunching up his nose he turned his face from its position against Gaara's jacket to see where the odor was coming from.
The park was nearly empty, save for a few joggers and a lonely man sitting on one of the benches. Naruto looked back and forth, his nose twitching as he noted the smell was coming from one of the joggers…but what caused Naruto to scrunch his eyes in confusion was that the jogger was at least two hundred feet away! And yet Naruto knew the smell was coming from him. What?
Gaara chuckled at the look on Naruto's face as he sniffed around the park. His small nose scrunching as he breathed in the scent of a sweating runner. He seems to be adjusting better than I had expected. Gaara nuzzled his head into Naruto's hair, causing the teen to look up at him.
"Are you hungry?" Gaara asked softly, his hands running through Naruto's soft hair.
"Yeah, maybe something hot?" Naruto said lifting onto his toes so he could sniff at the whips of Gaara's deep red hair. It smelt…amazing. Out of everything he had smelt since he woke up this morning; Gaara has been the only thing that truly smelt good. There were a few decent scents, like the wood of the house, the snow, and the smell of the pine trees in the park. But Gaara had this airy smell that was …warm like the sand, and yet fresh like a forest? Was that what it was? Either way it made his eyes flutter and his head tingle each time he breathed it in.
Gaara and Naruto left the park after the sweaty jogger started coming closer and Naruto began to gag. Thankfully they found a street with some small stores open, so they walked over to a small Café. Naruto quickly ran into the shop, pulling Gaara along with a goofy smile.
"You don't mind paying do you? I'm a little scrapped for cash." Naruto laughed, walking up to the counter. Gaara gave a small smile, pulling Naruto into his side once again as the Café employee walked up to the counter.
"How may I help you?" The man said with a bored tone. Obviously unhappy with his current position.
Naruto's blissful expression slowly seemed to be fading as Gaara ordered two hot chocolates. Something was wrong, he could feel it. Naruto's eye grew wide as he watched the employee quickly scribble the order. Naruto's chest seemed to be getting smaller, his blue eyes thinning with an unknown fear. Wha-what!? What is happening!?
Naruto clung to Gaara, burying his face into the redhead's jacket, his body now shaking from fear instead of the cold. Gaara's smile fell, his arms wrapping around the shivering teen, a pitying look on his face. His hand stroked Naruto's hair, quietly trying to comfort the scared blonde.
"It is alright. You are safe." Gaara whispered. Glancing up as the man came back with two steaming cups in his hands.
"Four fifty, please." The man said, ignoring the shivering blonde. Gaara quickly gave the man the money before grabbing the drinks and walking Naruto out of the Cafe.
Once outside, Gaara placed the cup into Naruto's shaking hands, lightly kissing his forehead.
"That was a good start." He said quietly, using his now free hand to lift the teen's chin up.
"Wha-what?..I don't understand" Naruto tried, his eyes fluttering around, unsure, and waiting for Gaara to explain why he just lost it in there.
"It will be hard the first few times. You just need to adjust." Gaara said, taking Naruto's hand and walking him down the empty street.
"Adjust? Adjust to what?" Naruto said, feeling his heart slowly seem to calm.
"It is instinct for us to fear humans. We are beings born with many animalistic qualities, including a fear of humans. Especially for Shifters who carry the genes of smaller animals like us. It will take a little while before you can be relaxed around them again." Gaara said, taking a sip from the steaming drink.
"But, I've never been…scared before?" Naruto said, slowly taking a sip himself.
"You have just come of age, it is a time when your instincts are finally released in your body, hence your heat." Gaara explained with a relaxed face. Naruto's once scared face scrunched in overwhelming frustration, pulling his chin away from the pale fingers.
"I don't know about this anymore, Gaara. I don't know if I can accept being t-this thing. This half-animal-half I don't know!" Naruto took deep breaths to try and calm his rising hysteria. "I don't feel like myself anymore! Am I even the same person I was a couple of days ago?! Will I change again?! I already have a tail and ears! And I don't even know what you are either!" Naruto shouted, almost throwing his hot chocolate to the ground. Wow...where did that come from?
Gaara frowned, quickly grabbing the blonde's shoulders.
"Calm down." Gaara said looking Naruto dead in the eyes. Naruto felt his blood boil at the thought of someone outright telling him what to do, as if he were a dog, but he couldn't help but feel grateful. Because as soon as he felt Gaara hands holding him, Naruto felt…better. His crazed and frightened heart settling as he heard the taller boy speak to him in such a smooth tone. Slowly the anger drained from Naruto's crystals eyes, filling with regret. I can't believe I just yelled that right in Gaara's face. It's not like he turned me into this, and he didn't have a choice either. God, I feel awful.
"…I'm sorry." Naruto said in a small voice, his eyes wide as he looked up at Gaara. "I…it's just a lot to get used to. I feel like I'm on some kind of emotional roller-coaster or something." Naruto felt his heart clench as he tried to grasp what his body was telling him. He felt an unmistakable distance from himself after finding out he wasn't human, he was somehow scared of almost anyone that comes too close, completely overwhelmed by Gaara's presence, and deathly nervous all the times for a reason he didn't know.
Gaara placed his arm around Naruto's shoulders, turning and continuing to walk them down the street. "I know."
The blonde felt his cluttered mind settle as he leaned his head onto Gaara's shoulder. To think just yesterday he was going to school, never giving a second thought to who he was; just an ordinary teenager with average problems. And now he was some kind of mix between a loser human and stupid fox. I thought my body had stopped changing after puberty. Damn.
The couple walked around the town for another hour before they found themselves once again at Gaara's house. By now both of the teenagers were tired and chilled from the cold. Naruto's ears were a burning red, his teeth chattering, but for some reason Gaara seemed unaffected. Shuffling into the house Naruto jumped onto the couch, arms wrapping around the cushion.
"Ah damn, its cold!" Naruto snuggled into the couch, trying to retain warmth, as Gaara quietly removed his jacket and hung it on the coat rack. Slowly walking over to the couch, his eyes gleaming as he watched his mate cuddling with his couch cushion. Naruto.
Gaara sat down on the couch, pulling the blonde into his lap. Naruto smiled and wrapped his arms around the red head's broad shoulders.
"Don't tell me you were jealous of the couch cushion." Naruto giggled, leaning in close to Gaara.
"And if I was?" Gaara felt exhilarated as Naruto leaned in close, the small smile on his face so pure and beautiful. He could not help but capture the pink lips and pull Naruto even closer.
Naruto moaned into the kiss, trying to keep up with the suddenly fast pace, but was having trouble. He was not very skilled when it came to these sorts of things, but he tried his best to satisfy the raging teen that was currently trying to tear the clothes from his body.
"W-wait, Gaara! H-hold on, I can't go that fast!" Naruto gasped, turning his head to the side as a thick tongue ran its way up his shoulder, a now naked chest pressed flush against him. Gaara had quickly taken off his shirt, and was in the process of removing Naruto's. As his fingers yanked at the material, his lower half began a slow rocking, pressing down on the blonde's crotch. Naruto felt his face burn at the sight.
Gaara licked his lips, gently pushing Naruto down onto the couch, his hands finally throwing both of their shirts away.
"Didn't I tell you that this stuff was for the night." Naruto grumbled halfheartedly, twirling his fingers through Gaara's deep red hair, taking pleasure in tousling it. Gaara hummed, dragging his hot tongue up and down the expanse of tan skin.
"I do not recall." Gaara nibbled on the tender flesh, pulling the equally feverish body against him, reveling in the sensation of skin on skin.
"Liar." Naruto laughed, one hand reaching back, fumbling around a few times before grabbing the rope attached to the window's blinds. And with a sensual ease, the tanned hand pulled down on the blinds, effectively blocking the only window in the room. Gaara grinned at the action, his canines gleaming in the low light. The room now dimmed.
Naruto blinked a few times, shocked that he could still perfectly see Gaara in the new lighting. And in closer inspection he could see an almost green glow coming from the red head's eyes.
"Wow. Is this another thing?" Naruto said, momentarily distracted by his new sight, his head looking around the dark room. Gaara pulled the swiveling head down toward his, giving a small chuckle before nuzzling the questioning blonde.
"There's much more." Gaara said, his hands roaming from Naruto's head, down his neck and around in shoulders, pausing shortly before rubbing circles around the smaller teen's belly. Naruto hummed excitedly, jumping slightly as he felt his tail swish happily.
"Ah, you know I almost forgot about that thing." Naruto sighed, resting more weight onto Gaara's body, loving the way his hands continued to circle his stomach.
One pale hand reached down and smoothed out the soft fur tail that came out at the base of his lover's spine. Taking this moment to allow his own tail and ears to pop out, smirking at the wide eyes he got in return.
"This is so freaky, dude." Naruto laughed, his curiosity spiking at the sight of Gaara's tail and ears. Slowly Naruto extended his hand out to grab the tail, but it just swayed out of reach at the last second. Naruto tilted his head to the side, trying once again to grab the furry appendage, but it was pulled out of reach. Naruto growled and threw his hands at the stripped tail, now completely focus on capturing the elusive prize.
Gaara rolled his eyes before grasping Naruto's hips, pulling his attention back to his face. The poor blonde blushed as he realized what he had been doing.
"Whoops." Naruto laughed, his ears falling down in embarrassment. Gaara smirked, rolling his hips to grind against the blonde fox.
"Now, where were we?" Gaara hummed. Naruto laughed, throwing his head down for a deep kiss.
"I don't think I remember, you might have to show me." Naruto whispered, pulling a blanket from behind the couch and covering their bodies.
"Is that a challenge?" Gaara growled playfully.
"Maybe." Naruto smoothed.
"I like a challenge." Gaara latched his teeth onto Naruto's neck, gently pulling on the skin. Naruto moaned softly.
"I love you."
"I love you too."

Thanks for reading! :3
