DISCLAIMER: THIS DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. IT BELONGS TO JoyceeLunaa
Her story, all I did was fix it up. She gave me permission, so no need to get your panties in a knot :)
"I wish I had used my Lotus moves," Lee growled when he softly put a cold towel on Gaara's cheek.
"Calm down, will you?"
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN! LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO YOU!" Lee screamed in anger.
Gaara had never seen Lee look so pissed before, but he didn't completely understand why he was so angry. So, those guy wanted to fight with them and scolded a bit, what was the big deal? He had made sure that his automatic shield also protected Lee. Even though that meant he got some punches too because the shield couldn't protect them both at the same time. In the end, there was nothing left of those idiots. It was a wonder how Lee had left them a live! Gaara sighed.
"Lee, these are just a few scratches," Gaara said but Lee looked furious at him.
"Scratches? Scratches?" He said when they heard the door opening and closing and Temari walked in.
"What happened to you… two?" she asked in surprise when she saw them sitting at the couch.
Maybe they looked more worse than Gaara had thought and he looked closely at Lee again.
He had some serious cuts around his left eye and his left arm was bleeding really badly, but Gaara figured that may be of what he had once done to him, which made him worry.
"C'mon, I'll fix you guys up," Temari said and put away the food she had bought for dinner. "Oh, by the way, has one of you seen Kankuro?"
"I guess that was all," Gaara's sister said and Lee smiled at her, but the anger was still in his eyes.
"Thank you," Gaara said towards her and Temari's eyes seemed to fill with happiness… or at least he guessed that was the correct feeling.
Lee, who had the upper part of his jumpsuit pulled off together with his bandages so Temari could fix up his arm, looked at Gaara and he wondered wherefore.
"Are you alright?" The redhead asked and he was really worried, which made Shukaku's words float into his head again.
The guy across him nodded his head while he put his jumpsuit on again. Gaara couldn't help but look at the scar he had on his left arm. It made him feel so mad at himself!
"Don't," Lee said and his voice was really cold, which was also something Gaara never heard from him before. Temari looked at them from across the room and Gaara saw her eyebrows raise a little.
"I… ," Gaara started but Lee waved with his hand to stop him from talking.
Maybe he didn't want to talk about it with Temari in the room, or something.
"I'm gonna look for Kankuro," Temari said as if she thought the same as Gaara and she got out.
Gaara waited a few seconds before he decided to ask it.
"What is wrong?"
Lee didn't look up at Gaara, but just stared at his arm while wrapping it up, even though it seemed like he didn't do it right.
"Lee? Tell me, please?" How many times do you hear Gaara say 'please'? Practically never! Yet, Lee still refused to look up at Gaara, but he stopped the attempts to wrap his bandage up.
He couldn't take it and walked to Lee and stopped in front of him.
"Lee, look at me, please?" Gaara begged and he gently grabbed Lee's sweet face in his hands and forced him to look at him.
But he was lightly shocked when he saw that Lee was on the very edge of crying.
"What's wrong? Lee, please speak to me!" Gaara pulled him up and hugged the far more taller man.
"I… I just…," Lee stammered before breaking into tears and he started crying on Gaara's shoulder.
"I just… hoped that… people wo-wouldn-n't react… like that!"
Gaara was confused. What did he mean?
"They were just a few guys, you know," Gaara said and Lee looked down on him with tears steaming over his cheeks.
"No Gaara, there are lots of more people who don't like guys that are in love with other guys!"
"Why? What's wrong with it?"
"I don't know, Gaara, I don't know," Lee whispered with a broken voice and he started crying onto Gaara's shoulder again.
"SHIKAMARU!"
Oh no, this would become far to troublesome for Shikamaru. He knew Ino wanted to tell him something she thought was really important, but Shikamaru didn't care about stupid gossips.
"Can't you slow down one second if I wanna tell you something?" she asked a little annoyed when she caught up on him, but she was fast and too bouncy to be really angry with him.
Damn he had know Ino for way to long, Shikamaru thought while shaking his head.
"What is it then?" he asked and couldn't help but smile at his friend.
"You'll never guess who I saw hugging each other at the Hokage tower!" she screamed enthusiastically and Shikamaru pulled playfully at her hair to slow her down a bit.
"Tell me," he said in an annoyed tone, but Ino knew him way too good to know that he was just pretending he didn't care at all. Shikamaru wanted to know it a little bit.
"Lee and Gaara!" she yelled out and Shikamaru put a finger to his mouth so she would be more quiet.
"For real?" he asked interested. "Like… a love hug, or?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" she said and waved with her hands really fast. "Like a couple! It was really cute!"
Shikamaru gazed at her for a few seconds before he progressed it. "Gaara? Hm, didn't thought he'd be gay," he said while stroking his chin. "But I thought Lee had a crush on Sakura?"
"Apparently not," Ino said with a smile while they walked down the street where Shikamaru lived in.
They stopped in front of his house and Shikamaru put his hands in the pockets of his pants.
"I'm happy for them," the lazy genius said and Ino looked at him with huge eyes. "At least they're happy, right?"
"Hm, I don't know, Shika," she said with little worry. "They got yelled at by some weird guys."
Shikamaru got worried too. Gaara was the Kazekage and Lee his friend, after all.
"I'll check up on them," he announced to Ino and she smiled at him.
"Yeah," she said and hugged him happily. Shikamaru was surprised, Ino didn't hug him very often so he put his arms around her as well and soon they let go.
"I'll see you tomorrow then," she said and gave him a kiss on his cheek before she walked away.
Shikamaru gazed at her back. What was going on in her mind? And why the kiss?
He put his hands on the back of his head and smiled. Ino had her weird yet sweet moments.
Lee and Gaara stared at each other and Lee had finally stopped with his crying.
But he didn't feel any better, he felt even worse. He felt embarrassed about crying in front of his love.
Gaara softly stroke his cheek while Lee sniffed a bit.
"Don't worry about anything, we just don't tell people," Gaara said to him.
"No! I want people to know I love you, Gaara-kun," Lee said silently and looked into Gaara's eyes.
Gaara nodded and he stretched out a little so he could kiss Lee. Lee wanted to cry again but also wanted Gaara's taste in his mouth again, so he let his tongue slide over Gaara's lips and begged him to open his mouth, which he did. Lee put his tongue in Gaara's mouth and then pushed his lover against a wall.
The green dressed boy had his hands all over him and he felt Gaara gasp a little while he deepened their kiss.
One of Lee's hands grabbed Gaara's hand and he locked their fingers and put them above their heads.
He felt the other hand of Gaara on his cheek and Lee pulled the redheads shirt out to stroke his bare chest.
Soon he felt his knees get weak and he pulled Gaara with him to the ground to sit down.
They separated and were breathing roughly.
Gaara took Lee's left arm, looked at the bandage around it and then looked at Lee's face again. "Can I take it off?" he asked and Lee felt the urge to hit Gaara, but he could never to that.
"No," Lee said with no emotion, drew his arm out of his hand and started kissing Gaara again.
But Gaara broke apart soon.
"Please Lee," he said and Lee bit on his lip, when he said please. It was hard to say no to him.
"N… No, Gaara-kun," Lee said but didn't look at him anymore. He didn't need to see how he felt about it.
"But- " Gaara started but Lee pulled him in another heated kiss where he couldn't saw no to.
Gaara gulped a little but stick his tongue in Lee's mouth and Lee wanted to tear off his pants.
So, he gripped at his pants, but Gaara seemed to freeze and even though he didn't want to, Lee pulled back.
"Let's just stop here then," Lee said and they stood up and put their shirts on.
A few minutes later, Lee went out to walk around Konoha. He just felt the need to think a little.
But it didn't really work, because there were way to many people out today so it was a miracle that he could hear his own thoughts.
"Lee? Lee! LEE!" Lee looked around to see who shouted his name when he saw Shikamaru coming towards him.
"Come with me for a second," the spike haired guy said and Lee nodded.
They walked away from the busy streets onto some hill were Shikamaru always laid to watch the clouds. Lee envied him. He wished he could lay down and watch clouds so he could get his thoughts organized. He sighed a little.
"Finally," Shikamaru said with a yawn and he looked at Lee.
"What is it?" Lee asked without his cheerful spirit he normally had, which gave him a weird stare from Shikamaru.
"Well, I," he began and rubbed the back of his neck, "just wanted to tell you that Ino and I know about you and Gaara."
Lee's eyes got huge and he didn't know what to say. Were Ino and Shikamaru against it? Or did he wanna hit him now or something? Maybe he wanted to blackmail him…
"We're totally behind you." Wait, what? Lee looked up in surprise and a smile crossed his face again.
"Really?" he asked while starting to jump up and down.
Shikamaru nodded with a smile at him and put his hand on Lee's shoulder. "So, if something happens, you'll let me know, right?"
Lee nodded with a youthful smile and he felt his youthful energy filling his body.
"Okay! Then I'll go training again!" Lee screamed enthusiastically and he ran off. "Thanks a lot, Shikamaru!"
He felt really happy that there were people who were happy for him!
The lazy genius just stared at Lee who ranaway way more happy than when he saw him a little earlier. Shikamaru shook his head and chuckled while watching Lee jump around, running to the training grounds.
Lee seemed to understand that being in love with a guy sure was troublesome, but Shikamaru knew Lee would do anything to make his 'precious person' happy, so he just sighed and lay down to watch the clouds floating around.
