I Do not own Naruto. :3 If I did…well let's just say…there would be a lot of action just between Naruto and Gaara. x3 hehehe.

Naruto sat up from his bed. He blinked slowly, yawned, and stretched. His mind was foggy but the image of some sort of dream was stuck in his head. He glanced over at the chair in the corner, trying to place the image of Gaara sitting there. Nothing.
Naruto yawned and jumped out of bed. He walked up to the long mirror and stared at himself. Orange shirt, black boxers, messy blonde hair. Good enough.
Naruto made his way down the stairs. A delicious smell reached him. Immediately Naruto perked up and raced to the kitchen. Gaara was standing there, facing the wall where the stove was. He had just finished making fried eggs and was placing them on two separate plates. He picked them up and turned around to see Naruto staring at him.
"Breakfast?" Gaara asked. Naruto had been checking out Gaara's body, he was only wearing sweat pants this morning, and his eyes slowly made their way back up to Gaara's.
"Huh?" Naruto blinked. "Breakfast?" Gaara muttered again. He seriously hated repeating himself. "Oh. Sure." Naruto's eyes locked onto the plates of food as Gaara led the way to the small dining table.
As they ate Naruto tried to keep his eyes off Gaara by looking around the apartment. That's when he noticed everything on the coffee table was still laid out, as if Gaara had been working all night.
Naruto's eyes drifted back to Gaara. "Did you stay up working all night?" Naruto asked, his mouth full of eggs and sausage. Gaara nodded, keeping his eyes on his plate of food. "Don't you sleep?" Gaara shook his head. "Oh." A long pause. "Why not?" Gaara looked up at Naruto, his face completely serious. "Can't." Naruto raised his eyebrows. He didn't know when to leave something along. "Why not?" Gaara narrowed his eyes. Naruto blinked, suddenly aware that he probably shouldn't ask Gaara such questions when they barely knew each other.
Naruto took it upon himself to put the plates back in the kitchen. When he came back Gaara was once again working at the coffee table. Naruto crept over and sat on the opposite end of the couch, watching.
"You really should get started on your own stories Naruto." Gaara shifted one of the papers over so he could look back on something he had previously written. He could hear Naruto move on the other end of the couch.
"I know. I just can't think of anything." Naruto muttered. Gaara looked up to see Naruto looking down at the floor, a sudden sadness evident. Gaara stared. "Then maybe you should read one of my novels." Naruto looked up at Gaara, confused. "You started one of my other books yesterday. Why don't you finish reading that? Maybe it will help you. Please refrain from stealing anything from it though. It is merely to be used as your inspiration." Gaara reached over his side of the couch and grabbed a copy of his latest novel. He handed it to Naruto who looked confused.
Naruto stared at the cover and he suddenly had the urge to ask a question. "Hey. Gaara. The people in this story are you and me right?" Gaara nodded, his eyes locked on Naruto.
"Remember last night? You said I could use you in my novels." Gaara refrained from mentioning the inspiration part.
Naruto raised his eyebrows. "Really? I said that?" Gaara nodded and Naruto began to stare at the cover.
Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz
Naruto's head snapped up and he watched Gaara calmly stand and walk to the front door. He opened it, silently inviting the person in. A man with raven black hair and onyx eyes walked in and situated himself on the floor, right in front of Naruto.
Gaara walked back over, sat down on the couch and handed the man papers that were stapled together. "That's the first chapter?" the man asked. Gaara nodded. The man took it from Gaara and began reading it.
Naruto glanced back and forth between Gaara and the raven haired man, completely confused. Gaara looked up at Naruto. "He's my editor." Gaara explained. The raven haired man looked up at Naruto as if he had just noticed the blonde. Naruto looked at Gaara, then at the raven haired man.
The man raised his hand. "Nice to meet you. My name's Sasuke and I am Gaara's editor." A calm expression, that didn't seem to fit the raven haired man's demeanor, was in the man's eyes.
Naruto shook his hand. "Naruto. I'm going to be studying under Gaara for a while. I'm an aspiring shounen-ai author." Sasuke's eyes suddenly lit up and his grip on Naruto's hand tightened. "Oh really? That's…good to hear." Naruto looked over at Gaara who had turned back to his work, obviously bored of the introduction the other two were having.
Naruto pulled his hand out of Sasuke's grip. "Yeah. It…is…I guess." Naruto smiled sheepishly, suddenly awkward around this man.
Sasuke smiled and went back to editing Gaara's work.
Naruto got up and head up the stairs and into one of the rooms which he found to be a study of some sort. He sat down in the comfortable chair behind the desk and sighed, laying his face down on the desk, facing away from the door. "That guys…strange…"
