Little star things (*) at the bottom is the explanation.
Have fun reading this I had fun writing it, kind of.
Chapter 0.1
Games and Marriage
Naruto stood at Gaara's bus stop; he didn't have to wait long, because the big yellow bus would pull up soon. Naruto stood there as other people gathered to pick up their elementary student. There were lots of older sisters that stood around looking at the tall blonde. By his uniform they knew he wasn't in high school yet, but he was tall enough to be in fact he was taller than most of the high school kids, at five foot ten in seventh grade.
The bus pulled up, and Gaara was the first out, as always. He ran up to Naruto hugging his legs, "I knew you would be here early." Gaara said letting go of Naruto's legs.
Naruto chuckled, "Of course I would." He ruffled Gaara's hair as they started walking towards Gaara's house.
They talked a little as they walked home from the bus stop; Gaara did most of the talking. He might have been shy in class, but if he was comfortable he would talk non-stop.
When they got to the large house Naruto opened the fridge and pulled out the celery and peanut butter, then got a small pack of raisins out of the pantry.
Naruto made Gaara his "ants on a log" snack, celery with peanut butter and raisins sprinkled on top, they shared the celery sticks. Naruto never really liked celery, but because Gaara liked it so much he figured that it would be for the best if he ate some too. Children learned from example and this was a good habit to get into anyway.
Once the snack was finished, Naruto asked Gaara "So Gaara what do you want to play today?"
Gaara thought for a little bit, he was serious in this contemplation as if wondering whether or not he should say it or not, "Naruto, can we play G.I. Joe and Ken*?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "How exactly do we play that?" Naruto wasn't sure what he was to think of this.
"Okay let me show you." Gaara got up throwing his and Naruto's plate away then dragged the older boy to his room.
Gaara's room wasn't a normal little boy room, even though his father had offered him a racecar bed, Gaara wanted anything but that. In the end he got a plain bed that would be able to grow with him. Another unusual thing about Gaara's room was the fact that it was neat and tidy, everywhere. Now, Baki had his share of maids that cleaned the house, but rarely did they have to work to clean Gaara's room.
When they reached Gaara's room, Gaara told Naruto to sit on the floor while he went and got all of the stuff.
Naruto nodded and waited sitting on the floor leaning back on Gaara's bed. Gaara ran off into his closet, returning with a blonde G.I. Joe, he handed it to Naruto, "Hold this."
Gaara walked back to his dresser, and sat on the floor and went to the bottom drawer. After opening it he dug through it for a moment then pulled out a Ken doll, pausing to fix the head and hair of the doll, he then looked back in the drawer and closed it.
"Okay Naruto, the G.I. Joe guy is you okay? And you're the war guy, and go off and fight, and I'm this guy, Ken. Ken, is your honey you come home to him okay?" Gaara said crawling over to where Naruto was sitting.
Naruto didn't know what to say, he looked at the young boy. "Wait what do you mean by honey?" He asked. "Like…" Naruto paused for a second and shook his head.
"Like, you know how my Dad has a girlfriend? Like that kinda honey!" Gaara explained.
Naruto's eyes grew, "Wait, but they're both boys Gaara."
"I know, Temari said that it's okay for two boys to be in love." Gaara explained. "I don't have any Barbie's anyway." He finished.
Naruto just stared at the boy in disbelief, never in his life had he heard a kid say something like that. "Gaara, I'll be back in a second I need to go to the bathroom."
Gaara nodded, and looked at Naruto as he got up and walked out of the young boy's room. When he got into the bathroom he closed the door and walked over to the mirror. He stared at the mirror not quite sure how he should return to the young boy.
That wasn't normal for a little boy to play, was it? Of course it wasn't when he was little he played with cars, trucks, and a bucket of green soldiers, he didn't even have a G.I. Joe. Well one he could remember. When Naruto was young he remembered spending most of his time outside running around, playing sports, but Gaara was very different.
Gaara would fight you so he could stay inside, he never want play outside or play sports. Gaara much rather stay inside and color, or whatever he did when he was in his room, which Naruto was beginning to think it was playing G.I. Joe and Ken.
Naruto sighed, would this be as big of a problem if he wasn't trying to figure out a question for himself? No, it would probably be more of a problem even if he wasn't so damn confused. Why was he confused anyway? He wasn't like most boys constantly thinking of hot girls. No matter how hard he tried he much rather be focused on sports or anything other than girls really.
He looked in the mirror gathering his composure, he washed his hands and went out to Gaara's room and sat back where he was before he left. Gaara had set up a few things for his "house." Naruto sat and looked at the G.I. Joe, "Gaara how did you learn to play G.I. Joe and Ken?" He questioned.
"Temari and me used to play Barbie and Ken, so she gave me her Ken and then my Dad took all her Barbie's because she didn't want them no more. Since I didn't have any Barbie's she told me that I could just play and pretend that Ken was a girl. Then she said it didn't matter because she said two boys could really be in love." Gaara said sitting across from Naruto.
"Oh, I see…" Naruto paused picking up the G.I. Joe, "So, what is it that I do?" he asked the younger boy.
Gaara though for a minute, "Oh hold on real quick." Gaara got up and ran to a drawer. "Here you go over and kill this guy." He pulled out another G.I. Joe and threw it to Naruto.
Naruto caught the black haired G.I. Joe, "What do I kill him with?" Naruto asked to young boy.
Gaara grabbed a box that looked like a Leggo from a small wall of these blocks that were lined up against his wall. "Use what's in this box," Gaara handed the box to Naruto who opened it and saw a stack of stuff for G.I. Joe's with anything that a young boy could ever imagine.
"So, Gaara does your Dad know that you play G.I. Joe and Ken?" Naruto asked Gaara.
"He knows I play with the G.I. Joes." Gaara said looking guilty.
"Oh, why doesn't he know about your Ken?" Naruto asked.
"'Cause he doesn't like Ken… then he gets mad when he finds out I'm playing with girl toys." Gaara paused like he was thinking. "But he doesn't know about my secret drawer." Gaara finished grinning.
"Oh and what is this secret drawer?" Naruto asked raising a blonde eye brow.
"My secret drawer is where I put all my candy and dress up and all the stuff my dad doesn't want me to have." Gaara said with a huge smile.
Naruto laughed, Gaara certainly was quite the character. Since he had started babysitting the little boy he had learned about a lot of secret things that Gaara did. Gaara knew how to get to the candy that was on the top of the shelf in the kitchen. All he needed was a kitchen chair to get on the counter and he was there digging through the full sized candy bars that his father kept. Naruto had never met a kid that could do anything like that without falling.
Once Naruto had witnessed Gaara get the key from on top of the bathroom door because it was locked from the inside on accident. So Naruto wouldn't get mad Gaara had used the door frame to climb up it and onto a nearby ledge to grab the key and then jumped down so that he could unlock the door. Naruto had gone to go check on Gaara when he saw him climb up. He stood in shock not knowing that a kid that small would be capable of such things.
Although Gaara did many more things with that talent, when Naruto asked Baki whether or not he knew about the talents his son had, the older man looked at him like he was crazy. Gaara was his little angel baby that never caused any trouble. Baki wasn't a very aware parent in general, both Kankuro and Temari got away with way more than any one had ever seen possible.
"Hey Naruto wanna see my drawer of stuff?" the little boy asked.
Naruto smiled, "Sure."
Gaara motioned for the young teen to come to his dresser to the bottom drawer. Naruto scooted himself over to where Gaara was now sitting. Gaara smiled and opened the drawer and inside the drawer was another Ken doll, about five candy bars and a chocolate bunny, a princess coloring book and markers, a pair of dress up shoes, and two dress up dresses.
Naruto chuckled lightly, he could only imagine what Baki would do if he found this in his sons drawer. "So this is your secret drawer?" Naruto asked looking at the stuff.
"Yep, but don't tell my Dad! I mean it!" the little boy said, giving Naruto a cautioning look.
"Don't worry Gaara, I won't I promise." Naruto smiled sticking out his pinkie for Gaara to shake. Gaara wrapped his pinkie around Naruto's much larger one. They shook, Naruto meant what he promised. Although it was something Baki would very much like to know, it wasn't Naruto's business to tell, Baki needed to find out on his own.
"Naruto, I love you." Gaara said hugging the older boy.
Naruto looked down at the kid. He put his hand on his back and patted, "I love you too Gaara." He replied with a smile.
Naruto and Gaara eventually returned to playing Naruto sprawled across Gaara's bedroom floor pretending he was G.I. Joe. Naruto had never had as many weapons for his Army men when he was little and this was almost fun to him. They played until they heard the sound of the garage, which meant that Gaara's Dad was home. Gaara quickly threw all his stuff in the drawer and laid down next to Naruto, putting a different gun on the other G.I. Joe.
Baki walked into Gaara's room, and smiled seeing the two boys playing with G.I. Joes. Gaara ran up and gave his father a large hug. Naruto stood up and smiled at the father and son.
"Well I guess I better get going." Naruto said, "Do you mind if I get changed?" Baki nodded.
The one thing that Naruto did everyday was change from his uniform and ran home, usually once Baki got their Naruto would change from his school uniform and leave.
Naruto went to the bathroom and changed into his track suit, one he had bought on a vacation they had took in America, unlike in Japan, America had pants that could fit his legs and arms without being too short, and to think he wasn't done growing yet.
Naruto finished getting dressed he looked in the mirror one last time; he messed up his hair then left. Baki was talking to Gaara in the kitchen; Naruto walked in and smiled, "Well I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow?"
Gaara ran up and hugged him, "Bye Naruto, I'll miss you sooooo much!" He said hugging Naruto tightly.
Naruto ruffled his hair, "Bye Gaara,"
"Thank you Naruto, I really appreciate you doing this. It's nice to finally have a steady babysitter." Baki said.
"It's no problem, I enjoy what I do." Naruto smiled putting on his backpack and tightening the straps. He raised his hand in a wave and left.
Running was very important to Naruto, it was how he could keep fit, and it was something he felt was necessary for his daily life or else he'd feel sluggish. Maybe it was just the amount of energy that he had that made it such a major part of his life. The whole reason he even started running was because when he first moved in with Tsunade and Jiraiya he was constantly hyper and bouncing off the walls and needed an outlet. Tsunade would get mad at him and would say go run around the block five times, and she would go outside and monitor him as he ran, she had a whistle and everything. Since then running was his thing.
Naruto got home taking his stuff to his room where he did his homework and got ready for the next day, meanwhile Gaara and his father were spending some needed time with one another.
((With Gaara and Baki))
"How was your day today Gaara?" Baki asked his son.
"It was good, I liked my lunch, but Dad, my teacher is just dumb." Gaara replied to his father.
"Why is she 'just dumb' Gaara?" His father questioned.
"Because she said that I can't get married to Naruto." Gaara said.
Baki nearly choked on his glass of water, "What did you say?" he asked in shock.
"Well today, at circle time she had everyone tell one person who is special to us and why they are so special. So I told her: Naruto is my special person. He babysits me, and when we grow up were gonna get married!" Gaara nodded his head, pausing for a moment. "Then she said Gaara, Naruto is a boy and boys don't get married to other boys. So I told her yeah huh! They can Temari said so, and Temari's in eighth grade." Gaara said finally satisfied with his story.
Gaara's Dad just stared at his youngest son; "Temari told you two boys can get married?" was all he could manage.
"Yes she told me that when I first met Naruto, okay Dad!" Gaara replied.
Baki took in a deep breath. "TEMARI! Get down here right now." He yelled up the stairs.
The young teen crept down the stairs slowly peaking at her father who was facing her with a look too angry to describe. "Yeah dad?" she smiled awkwardly not knowing what he had found out.
"Explain to me what you meant when you told Gaara about two boys getting married," Baki exclaimed.
"Well Dad it's the truth," she explained to her father. "Remember on our vacation to America, when we went to California? There was that wedding going on in the park and it was two men! Dad gay people can be married!" She exclaimed.
Baki's head dropped. "Temari, tell me… do you think it's appropriate to tell your little brother that he can get married to a boy?" He shot back.
"Do you think it's okay to lie to him?" Temari yelled fuming with anger.
"Watch your tone young lady!" Baki yelled back.
"You guys should be quiet." Gaara said. "Cause daddy you always get mad at me when I'm screaming when I'm playing." Gaara nodded at his statement.
Baki looked at his son who was getting an apple from the basket of fruit on the table. "Alright Gaara, Temari, I just want you to really think about this, now watch I'm going to get a phone call because of what happened today at Gaara's school then I'll have to and talk to his teacher and explain to her what is going on." Baki said keeping as cool as he possibly could.
"Whatever. You'll probably be persuasive with her like you were with my math teacher.**" Temari said before she rushed up the stairs to call her friend and cry and complain about her 'evil' dad.
As Temari rushed up the stairs, Kankuro passed her coming down; he gave her a questioning look and continued down.
"Dad? What was going on down here?" Kankuro asked his Dad.
"Your sister was not thinking about what she told you little brother." Baki replied grabbing a banana from the fruit basket.
"Wait about what?" Kankuro asked looking at Gaara who was sucking on the apple he had just bitten.
"About marriage, especially that of people of the same gender." Baki explained to Kankuro who looked at his little brother eyes wide.
Gaara smiled at his older brother, "Yep," Gaara nodded as if proud of what had just happened.
Kankuro closed his eyes and shook his head, "I knew those two were spending way too much time together." Kankuro said, shaking his head again.
'Fantastic,' Baki thought. 'Just what I need concerned teachers, angry teenagers. A gay son, the doctors said it was something most people are born with. Great just what I have to look forward to.' Baki sighed as he finished his banana and looked at his youngest son.
INFORMATION
* G.I. Joe and Ken, okay I was kind of inspired by two different things here. The first was when I was little my Barbie's were lesbians. When I was like I don't know, like in kindergarten, I didn't have a Ken and so I used one of the other Barbie's as the significant other, then I had no clue what the hell a lesbian was or anything, but that was how I played. The second reason was, I was talking to a gay friend of mine, and he said that he played kind of like that, but with his sister. He would always be the Barbie and she would always be the Ken. (She turned out to be a very butch lesbian. Lol) so I hope that makes it clear that kids really do play that way!
**Okay, so about the statement Temari makes about Baki being persuasive is talking about how he is constantly being flirtatious with women. Before when Temari had problems with her math teacher back took care of the problem by flirting, sex and by flaunting off his money. It brings it up in the past chapter 0, but only a little. So I felt this would be necessary for it to make sense without me writing ten more paragraphs.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
So, I'd like to apologize on how long this took me to get up and how lame it is… sorry. I hope this little chapter guy gave you an example of how I do my stories. So, I'm a junior in high school right now and I have had so little time to do anything that isn't homework it ridiculous. So, I've had a lot of this written it's just been had to get it edited and finished and writing my authors note, that isn't all that necessary to anyone except for me. I hope if you do read all of this that you accept my apology of taking ten zillion years to finish just this little baby chapter. :) I'm gonna start updating more frequently, now I have a creative writing period and I'll be dedicating about ten minutes every day to this story, so basically I'm getting an A+ for writing this anyway.
A SHOUT OUT TO MY REVIEWERS!(:
WrinkleyWhale:
Haha! I'm glad someone thinks so(: Yes sir, will do :p Now let me explain this thing us cheerleaders call a shell. Okay so usually cheer uniforms have long sleeves (especially for cold football games) but usually the sleeves are just a crop top, (shirt with a bare midriff.) The shell is the part of the uniform that has usually has the major designs (and school name/logo/mascot etc.) The shell is usually just a tank top type of shirt so when cheering hot football games or indoor basketball games it would be more comfortable for the girls. Any who… thank you so so so so much for the review it was like 3:45 in the morning when I got that review and it was like a cup of coffee, leaving me bouncing off the walls I'm just really sorry about the wait and the amount of lameness in this chapter. .
Mantinas
Well thank you!:) Sorry for such a long and ridiculous wait, but I hope you enjoy anyway!:)
SHANTI SYNDROME
Haha! Why thank you! You should see the time I take to put his outfits together, (I even draw them out like a little designer :p) I'm pretty sure I think way more about Gaara's outfits then I do my own, haha. Thank you so much for the suggestion, I hope I did better at that this chapter! I realized what you meant when I looked back over the chapter. Sometimes I just too excited to contain myself and it just happens;) Any who sorry about the wait and I hope you enjoyed this little chap as well

Blackpantherwolf
Where have you been my dear? Haha! I knew I wasn't the only one who believed that to be true;) I sat working on his character in my head forever.:) Well I just like OOC-ness, I guess :p I kind of felt like he needed at least one teacher like that, (I used my teachers to give them each a teaching style. So Iruka's more of a whiny bitchy teacher rather than person, if that makes any sense at all.) Cheerleaders UNITE! Haha Now let me tell you when I read the last little sentence I just about passed out because I was so happy, not that you wasted your lunch but because that you liked my story that much!:) So I hope this was good enough till I can get this next chapter finished?:) Enjoy!
