Chapter 4
"Kankuro? Gaara? What the hell are you doing over here?" Temari said angrily. Lee felt his cheeks go pink as he saw Gaara standing so close.
"You weren't at our usual table. We came to find you" Kankuro replied. He glared at Shikamaru and Temari's close proximity. "Mind if we sit with you guys?" He asked.
"Sure! The more the merrier, right Sasuke?" Naruto said cheerfully.
"Hn.." Sasuke mumbled.
Kankuro and Gaara pulled up chairs on either side of Temari. Kankuro was between Shikamaru and Temari, and Gaara was between Temari and Lee. Lee tried inching his chair away slightly to avoid such close proximity, but the table was not supposed to hold this many chairs, so he couldn't move. Temari was shooting Kankuro with a death glare. "Oh dearest brother? Do me a HUGE favor? Switch places with me." She ordered. He grumbled loudly before finally giving in and switching places with her. Gaara's arms were on the table and he was reading his book again, his lunch sitting untouched in front of him. Lee reached for his own lunch and as he reached for a carrot stick, his hand brushed against Gaara's. He yanked his hand away.
"I am so sorry, Gaara! I did not mean to!" He apologized profusely.
"It's fine." Gaara muttered. Lee turned back to his lunch, wondering if Gaara had felt the same electric sensation that he had felt when their skin touched.
About 10 minutes later, Lee turned to Gaara and decided to try to start a conversation. "So Gaara, what are you reading?" he asked.
Gaara looked at him with a bored expression on his face, secretly surprised that somebody that wasn't in his family was trying to talk to him. "Dracula." He said. He was unsure as to why he felt like he wanted to talk to this boy. He never talked to anybody other than his siblings.
"I've heard different reviews on that." Lee said. "Is it good? In your opinion I mean..." Lee asked blushing slightly. Gaara decided he liked Lee's voice. It seemed so happy. He looks nice when he blushes... Gaara thought to himself. Wait... did i just think that? What is wrong with me? Then he remembered that Lee had asked him a question.
"Yeah, it's pretty good." Gaara answered. He didn't know what else to say. He and Lee turned away from each other awkwardly. They didn't say a word to each other for the rest of the day.
Authors notes: Sorry, I know this one is really short. They all vary a lot in length... The next chapter was so far my favorite one to write. It doesn't really have Gaara/Lee, but it's cute in another way. You'll just have to wait until I post it :) Oh yeah! and now i guess you see what i meant in the first chapter, when I said that the point of view kind of changes, but doesn't at the same time.
