Hiiiyaaa! New chapter yaay! So yeah...

Gaara's P.O.V.

My eyes widened and my heart started to beat faster. Naruto was...hugging me! No one ever hugs me! Well..not unless he or she wants a good punch to the head. Though, Naruto felt warm. Like sitting in front of a lit fireplace in the winter.

I didn't know what to do, I've never felt this way with anyone before. Is this what people call friendship? Or at least the feeling of it. I guess so...

"You okay?" I asked. My concern growing deeper as Naruto just stared at me silently. He then quickly blinked a few times and nodded slowly.

"Hey Gaara whaterya doin over there?!" I turned around to see my brother partially drunk and waving lazily at me.

Normal P.O.V.

Naruto couldn't take his eyes off the redhead before him. It was like he under some sort of hypnotic spell. Though, that spell soon ended when he realized Gaara had said something to him. He nodded his head slowly, not really knowing what Gaara had said to him. A slurred voice called out and Naruto looked over to see a brunette beside Gaara's car.

"Would you fucking wait a sec.!" Gaara yelled at the other man but when he turned back to the blonde his voice was as sweet as honey (AU. scary right!?). "Hey Naruto, do you want a ride home? I mean, you were almost killed!" Naruto heard a faint amount of concern in Gaara's voice. Feeling guilty of having caused Gaara to worry, Naruto hesitantly shook his head, not trusting his voice.

Gaara gave a displeased look. "Naruto I'm not having you walk home alone, and with all those grocery bags too. So either you get in the car or I force you in." Naruto pouted at Gaara then walked over to his car.

"Kankuro get in back." Gaara said, putting Naruto's groceries in the trunk.

"W-whaaat! Why can't blondie gedin dere?"

"Because he's not drunk and a stupid ass. Get in." Gaara closed the trunk and opened the door on the passenger's side. He moved the front seat and pushed Kankuro to the back. Gaara moved the front seat to its original placement and moved aside.

"Naruto..." Gaara said, making a hand gesture for the blonde to get in. After he settled himself in, Gaara closed the door for him, politely. Gaara soon after got in and drove to Naruto's house.

The drive was quiet. Well...for the two in the front at least. Kankuro was still drunk and babbling away about pina coladas. Suddenly he stopped talking all together. His eyes were on a car that seemed as though was just in an accident. The side of the car all bent and a door no longer there but on the ground, littered with broken glass.

The traffic was jammed due to the accident so they were waiting in a long line of cars. Just as they began moving again, Kankuro stuck his head out Gaara's window as screamed, "I HOPE YOU HAVE STATEFARM!"

Gaara stopped the car with a jerk, and turned around to punch the drunk on his head. "You moron!" He shouted. Naruto sunk in the seat, seeing the people around them start to stare.

Naruko, who miraculously popped up in the back, again, laughed hysterically. "Oh god...th-that..was priceless!"

Naruto glared at her, not thinking this whole predicament was even close to funny. It only reminded him of the stares he got when at school, stares full of hatred and bitterness. Naruko stopped laughing when she saw the look on her brother's face. She apologized and left him be, fading away.

"sorry 'bout that. Even when he's not drunk, though, he's a complete idiot." Gaara spoke as he got the car moving again. Naruto forced a smile on his face.

"It's fine reall-"

"Don't give me any of your fake smiles. You don't have to pretend to be alright. It's obvious you were upset." Gaara glanced at him. "And it's just plain rude."

Naruto stared at him. No one has ever been able to see through his masks, not even his own, dead, sister. Naruto looked away from the redhead and instead focused his gaze on his lap. "I'm sorry."

Gaara pulled up in the blonde's driveway and turned to him. "It's okay, I forgive you. Want some help with the groceries?"

"No thank you, I can do things on my own." Naruto said, getting out of the car and grabbing his bags from the trunk.

"You can do things on your own,huh? Like what, almost getting hit by a car?" Naruto's eyebrow twitched. He really wanted to just punch the redhead then and there.

"Do you want me to fuck up your car? Because if you keep saying smart ass things like that, then you'll get your wish." Naruto snapped at him. Kankuro laughed loudly.

"I like this kid!" Naruto smiled at the brunette then glared at Gaara, who just smirked.

"I do too." Gaara winked at him playfully, making the blonde blush. "I'll see you again tomorrow Naruto. Goodnight."

Gaara backed out of the driveway and drove off, waving at the blonde before doing so.

Naruto sighed deeply as he watched the car turn a corner and disappear. He had to admit, Gaara was hot, and a nice guy. Someone Naruto wouldn't mind dating. 'I wonder if he'd go for a guy like me.' He thought but then shook that out of his head. 'He seems straight though.'

Naruto shrugged and went inside to put away his groceries and get ready for bed.

As he climbed into bed, he couldn't help but think of Gaara. The redhead was making him feel things he hadn't felt in a long time. And...he liked it.

"Goodnight Naru. I'll try and wake you up earlier tomorrow, okay?" Naruko whispered. She kissed his forehead and sat on the floor to watch over him as the night went on.

"Okay...night." Naruto dozed off, the nightmares he had being replaced by a male red hair and light green eyes.
