Gaara was sitting on Sasuke's bed. Sasuke stopped, staring at him. "How did you know?" Gaara asked quietly, almost seeing to ask himself instead of Sasuke.
"How did I know what?" Sasuke asked, looking at Gaara.
Gaara looked at him. "That I'm like you..." He whispered, trailing off into silence.
Sasuke walked over to him, unsure of what to say. Gaara had this pleading look on his face. Eventually, Sasuke found the strength to ask, "Do you like me the way I like you?"
Gaara looked away, an uneasy silence falling between them. They sat there for what seemed like an eternity, then Gaara gave the smallest of nods. Sasuke's face split into a grin as he hugged the red-head.
FF To Later In The Day "So,does your family know?" Sasuke asked Gaara.
Gaara shook his head. "They'd die if they had any idea. They still think I'm the demon that can't feel love." He said sadly.
Sasuke slipped his hand into Gaara's, entwining their fingers. "I know you aren't. You shouldn't worry about it, okay?" He said with a small smile.
Gaara returned the smile and kissed Sasuke, knowing that he didn't want to kiss anyone else.
Slowly, they broke the kiss, looking at each other with smiles on their faces. Sasuke glanced at his clock and his eyes widened. "Whoa! It's already seven!" He said in a surprised tone.
Gaara looked at the clock and shook his head. "I better get back. They'll be wondering where I am." He said.
Sasuke gave him the puppy look. "I don't want you to go." He said pitifully, sticking out his lip.
Gaara gave him a look, then smiled. He shook his head and stood up. "I better go. I have a reputation to uphold, as do you. I'll see you later." he said softly before using his sand teleportation to leave.
Sasuke let himself fall back onto the bed, sighing. Gaara did have a point. He did have a reputation to keep, a reputation of being cold and distant. Sasuke made a face. He didn't like his reputation anymore but he knew he couldn't go against it unless he wanted to risk being discovered for what he was. He cringed at the thought of what all the girls would do to him if they ever found out. He sighed again and tried to push that out of his mind. At some point, he fell asleep because he woke up to see Gaara standing across the room, staring at him with an amused look on his face. Sasuke sat up quickly, slightly embarrassed. Gaara walked over and sat down on the bed next to him. "They're asleep and won't think a thing of me being gone in the morning." Gaara said in a satisfied tone.
Sasuke grinned. Gaara looked at him and an evil look crossed his face. Silently, he started moving his sand behind Sasuke's neck. Sasuke's shoulders scrunched when he felt the sand on the back of his neck, trying not to laugh. Gaara smirked. "I know a sensitive spot on you," he said in a smug tone.
He moved his sand and Sasuke relaxed. For a moment, Gaara looked across the room, giving Sasuke just the right amount of time to kiss him again. At first, Gaara was surprised but he relaxed and kissed back. After a few minutes, they separated, looking into each other's eyes. Sasuke yawned, the day's activities finally catching up with him. Gaara gave a half smile. "You better go to sleep." He said in a soothing tone. "I won't leave."
Sasuke nodded and laid back on his bed, sleep covering his features within minutes. Gaara looked on his serenely sleeping boyfriend and smiled. Finally, he had found someone who felt the way he did. He got up slowly and went over to the desk, sitting on the chair to wait for morning.
