Day 8 Wednesday Mar 4
"Yeah, I'd love to meet for lunch." Naruto said into his phone. Sasuke glared at the small electronic device. He and Naruto had been in his office when Naruto's cell started ringing. Naruto looked excited when he answered and Sasuke didn't know who was on the line but for the past ten minutes he had to listen to Naruto giggling and flirting with whoever was on the other end. Sasuke was close to grabbing the phone and snapping it in half. "Okay, bye-bye." Naruto laughed warmly before hanging up. Naruto turned to see Sasuke glaring at him and he sighed.
"Who was that?" Sasuke asked.
"Gaara. He's still in town, decided to take a vacation or something." Naruto smiled. Sasuke's eyes narrowed.
"I'd love to go to lunch with you and Gaara." Sasuke said calmly. Naruto shook his head.
"Not a good idea. Gaara doesn't exactly care for you." Naruto said.
"Well then the feeling is mutual." Sasuke said coldly. Naruto sighed.
"I'm going to have lunch with Gaara. You stay here, you have work." Naruto said kissing Sasuke's head and leaving. Sasuke growled but stayed in his seat. He really did have too much work to stalk his blonde lover and the redhead. Of course that didn't mean he didn't spend every second of Naruto's absence obsessing over their lunch date and what exactly their relationship was. Sasuke knew Gaara had decided to take a vacation only after he saw Naruto in the office. It annoyed Sasuke to no end.
"Gaara." Naruto called excitedly when the redhead entered the restaurant they had decided to meet at. Gaara gave a calm nod and sat down across from the smiling blonde. "What's up?"
"Nothing much." Gaara answered and looked around the small restaurant. "I'm surprised the Uchiha allowed you to come here alone." Gaara commented.
"He doesn't exactly know about that." Naruto said awkwardly. The redhead raised a nonexistent eyebrow as he looked at the blonde. "Well it's not like we really did all that much, we didn't have sex or anything."
"We still went out for three years." Gaara said. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the other man.
"Until, of course, you ran away." Naruto said sipping on his soda. Gaara glared at him.
"You know that's not what happened." Gaara said.
"Well whatever happened, I don't feel the need to tell Sasuke about it. Whatever we had is in the past and there's no reason to worry him about it." Naruto shrugged waving the waitress over to take their orders. "I'll have Ramen and he'll have the steak medium rare." Naruto said handing the waitress their menus. Gaara huffed.
"You always do that." Gaara said.
"What?" Naruto asked blinking at the man across from him.
"Order stuff for me." Gaara said crossing his arms.
"You don't like talking to people and I know what kind of food you like." Naruto shrugged. "I was just being nice."
"You two fighting again?" Kiba asked sitting down next to Naruto. "You need to stop meeting your boyfriends like that." He added before ordering.
"What are you doing here?" Gaara asked.
"Sasuke sent me to spy on you two. Did you tell him that you two went out in high school?" Kiba asked looking at Naruto. Naruto shook his head. "Well I think he's figured it out. Or at least he's suspicious of Gaara."
"No, he just doesn't like Gaara. If you hadn't noticed, Sasuke doesn't like a lot of people." Naruto said.
"No skin off my nose." Gaara shrugged as his food was set down in front of him. "What do I care if a bastard like Uchiha hates me?" They didn't talk much after their food got there. Halfway through their meal Naruto's phone started ringing.
"Hello?" Naruto asked resisting his urge to sigh when he saw it was Sasuke's office number.
"Where are you?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm still eating lunch." Naruto said.
"Well hurry up and get back. You have a job to do." Sasuke snapped.
"I'll be back when we're finished here." Naruto said and hung up before Sasuke could say anything.
"What's going on?" Kiba asked.
"Nothing." Naruto shook his head and began eating again. The other two looked at him. "What?"
"Nothing." They both said quickly looking at their own food. Naruto sighed and they finished eating.
"I have to go, I'll see you later." Naruto waved as he quickly left the restaurant. He went back to Sasuke's office as fast as he could.
"Have a nice date?" Sasuke asked coldly.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"I know about you and Gaara dating in high school." Sasuke growled. Naruto sighed and sat down in one of the chairs in front of Sasuke's desk.
"Why do you say that?" Naruto asked.
"It is advantageous that your best friend since childhood is my sister-in-law." Sasuke said looking at Naruto. Naruto huffed.
"Damn Sakura." He mumbled under his breath.
"And you didn't tell me because?" Sasuke asked.
"Something about your sexual withdrawal mixed in with your already obsessive overly protectiveness and of course your bastard attitude towards everyone, I really didn't think it would be a good idea." Naruto said crossing his arms over his chest and putting his feet up on the desk. Sasuke glared at the feet on his desk before pinching the bridge of his nose. "I didn't have sex with him, if that's what you're worried about. You were my first, I already told you that."
"You know you lied." Sasuke said. Naruto blinked.
"About what?" Naruto asked.
"It's not any easier this week than last week." Sasuke sighed. Naruto laughed.
"It's only the first day of this week." Naruto smiled. Sasuke growled at him as Naruto started giggling again. The blonde got up and went to sit in Sasuke's lap, draping his arms over his lover's shoulders. "But think about it this way, you made it a whole week."
"Doesn't make me feel better at all." Sasuke said looking up into sky blue eyes. He growled when he saw amusement sparkling in those eyes. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
"Sometimes it's fun to see you upset and jealous like this." Naruto smiled kissing Sasuke gently. Sasuke sighed tiredly and leaned back in his chair as Naruto gently kissed all over his face. "You tired?" Naruto asked.
"Usually I sleep better after sex. But since we haven't been having sex for eight days I haven't exactly had a good night's sleep." Sasuke said with annoyance.
"Sorry, baby, but you'll just have to wait another 32 days." Naruto said getting out of Sasuke's lap and leaving the office. Sasuke growled as he looked at his calendar. He had already started the countdown until Easter Sunday which was circled with five different sharpie colors and three different highlighter colors with 'Fuck Naruto of three days straight!!!' written in jumbo sharpie. If he could survive the next month, Naruto was going to owe him big time.
"What are you pouting about?" Sasuke looked up to see Sakura standing in the doorway.
"If you're here to bother your husband, he's out for lunch." Sasuke growled.
"Don't get pissy with me, Sasuke. It's not my fault you haven't had sex in a week." Sakura said.
"Get out of my office if you don't have anything better to say." Sasuke snapped. Sakura sighed and set a folder on Sasuke's desk.
"More information for the Suna project Itachi wanted you to look over. He left them at the house so he called me to deliver them." Sakura said.
"Hn." Sasuke said moving the folder to a pile of paperwork on the edge of his desk.
"Is Naruto in? I want to talk to him for a bit." Sakura asked looking out at the fake office Naruto was normally in.
"Yeah, he's around somewhere." Sasuke said waving her away. Sakura nodded and left. She knew Sasuke had been having a hard time with the whole 'no sex for Lent' thing, and she had accidentally made it worse when she dropped Naruto and Gaara's previous relationship on the brunette.
There had been rumors going around for a few months about Naruto and Gaara dating. They had hated each other, gotten into a fight and ended up having detention alone for a week and now were best friends. It was suspicious to everyone. The rumors started but neither boy seemed to be bothered by it, but now it was three months later and they were both fed up with it.
"So, are you to really going out?" Sakura asked her best friend as they laid on the rooftop of their school. They had skipped fifth period because Sakura wanted to confront Naruto about the rumors.
"Yeah." Naruto said softly. Sakura propped herself on her elbows to look over at him.
"Why?" She asked.
"Cause." Naruto shrugged. "Why not? We like each other, why shouldn't we date?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto, you and I like each other, but we've never gone out." Sakura pointed out.
"All you have to do is say the word and we will be." Naruto smirked while wagging his eyebrows at her. Sakura laughed and laid back down.
"So you really like him?"Sakura asked watching the clouds moving across the sky.
"Yeah. I might even love him, but I don't really know." Naruto said with a soft smile.
"Love? Naruto you're only fifteen what the hell do you know about love?" Sakura asked looking over at him.
"That's why I said I wasn't sure." Naruto huffed.
"Have you had sex or anything?"Sakura asked. Naruto shook his head.
"I want to be sure I love him first." Naruto said.
"That's probably smart." Sakura said. Naruto smiled.
"First time anyone's ever called me smart." He laughed softly.
"Don't worry, you're still a moron."Sakura laughed. The door to the roof opened and they both froze, afraid they had been caught.
"Naruto?" Gaara asked stepping out.
"Oh, Gaara. We thought you were a teacher." Naruto said with relief.
"What are you guys doing up here?" Gaara asked walking over.
"We didn't feel like going to chemistry." Sakura said.
"Well, I'm not worried about you," Gaara said to Sakura and then turned to look at Naruto, "but if you keep skipping class you'll fail out of school."
"Don't worry, you can tutor me in the classes that I'm failing." Naruto smiled pulling Gaara to sit down next to him.
"What classes are you failing then?" Gaara asked.
"All of them."Sakura said.
"Not all of them, I'm doing good in Gym, art and Homeroom." Naruto pouted.
"Gym is because Anko only gives A's cause she doesn't give a damn, Art is because Sai-sempai likes you and as the TA he can change your grade when the teacher isn't looking, and Homeroom doesn't even count." Sakura pointed out.
"I'd hit you if I wasn't so afraid of you giving me a concussion." Naruto said with a huff.
"I'll help you study." Gaara said as Naruto glared at Sakura.
"Really?" Both Sakura and Naruto asked. Sakura's voice was confused and skeptical while Naruto's voice was excited.
"Why waste your time with such a hopeless cause?" Sakura asked. Naruto hit her that time and Sakura punched him back.
"God damn it, Sakura! That fucking hurt!"Naruto shouted while cupping his cheek where she had punched him.
"I think you busted his lip." Gaara said seeing a bit of red on Naruto's hand. Sakura rolled her eyes. Gaara pulled Naruto's hand away to see indeed Naruto's lip was bleeding. Gaara leaned forward and licked the broken skin. Naruto smiled, only making the tear wider while Sakura stared in shock.
"It's still bleeding." Naruto said looking into Gaara's eyes. Gaara smirked as he leaned forward and licked Naruto's bleeding lip again. "You might want to leave, Sakura, it's about to get not so family friendly up here." Naruto mumbled as Gaara started sucking on his lip. Sakura nodded and quickly left. Naruto pulled the red head closer and started to gently suck on Gaara's upper lip. Naruto's fingers thread through red hair as strong arms wrapped around his waist pulling him against a hard body. Their kiss deepened into sloppy passion. Neither of them were very experienced in relationships, but they both had strong feelings for the other and that was enough for two high school kids.
