If: Another chapter! I personally enjoy this one. Hope ya like it.

Wanrings: ... boys liking boys?

Gaara had been pretty pissed at his sister for making him talk to Naruto the first time on Wednesday night. He didn't want to talk to the blond. That man had totally violated him, though Gaara was finding himself not feeling very violated. But as his sister Temari had pointed out, he would have to talk to him eventually, so he took the phone.

"What do you want Naruto?" he asked rather bluntly.

"Well, to be perfectly honest I'm checking up on you to make sure that you're not off killing someone," Naruto said just as bluntly. Gaara snorted.

"Well now you know I'm not killing someone, so… fuck off," Gaara said. He heard Temari shout at him to be 'nice.' Gaara sneered. Nice… oh yeah, he was going to be nice to the man single-handedly screwing with his life and watching him like a creepy stalker.

"… Wow, you're certainly in a good mood," Naruto commented. Gaara's response was to hang the phone up.

"Jerk," he muttered wandering into the kitchen where his sister was now attempting to cook dinner. "Where'd Kankuro go? Isn't he supposed to cook? I thought you weren't allowed near the stove?"

Temari turned and glared at her youngest brother. "Are you trying to imply that I can't cook? And what's with the third degree?"

Gaara scowled again. "I hate him."

Temari just looked at her brother, totally confused. Kankuro came down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, instantly freezing as he saw his sister near the stove. Fearing for his food, and his life, Kankuro rushed over and pushed his sister away from his food

"Gaara, did she touch my food?!" Kankuro nearly shouted. Gaara suppressed a chuckle, especially after seeing his sister's face and his brother's look of utter horror.

"I think she might have," Gaara replied. Kankuro started to cry crocodile tears.

"Noooo!! Not my food! How am I supposed to survive if she keeps trying to cook?" his brother wailed. Temari was practically growling at her brother and slowly advanced on him. Feeling her vicious, murderous aura Kankuro started to back away from his scary sister.

"Would you like to repeat that Kankuro? I'm sure I could teach you a lesson again, like the last time you said something like that," Temari threatened. Kankuro only whimpered.

"That's what I thought. Now finish dinner before we all starve."

As Temari turned around and went to sit at the table, where Gaara had already sat down, Kankuro mumbled something about 'psychotic siblings' under his breath. Gaara just rolled his eyes at his sibling's foolishness.

"So who was on the phone anyway Gaara?" Kankuro asked blissfully unaware of all the emotional baggage that came with that question. Gaara groaned and let his head fall onto the kitchen table.

"Yeah Gaara, who was on the phone?" Temari asked, knowing full well that her brother didn't want to talk about it.

"Shut up Temari, and you don't want to know Kankuro," Gaara replied to both his siblings, cursing his blighted fate.

"Aw, but now I want to know even more," Kankuro replied, teasing his brother. Gaara turned his head to glare at his brother.

"It was his boyfriend," Temari said smarmily. Kankuro choked on air and Gaara reached out and kicked his sister. "Don't kick me! Your brother asked you a question and you didn't answer, so I answered for you.

"He's not my boyfriend," Gaara grumbled.

"I know that, but your brother doesn't. You gotta admit, it was rather amusing to watch him choke on air," Temari replied. "Besides, with the way you've been acting I wouldn't be surprised if you liked him that way."

A thud was heard and the two chatting Sabakuno siblings looked over the table to see that their brother had fainted. Gaara sighed and moved to remove the food from the burner, hoping to keep it from burning.

"Now look what you've done," Gaara accused. Temari acted insulted.

"If you would have just been a normal teenage boy and went out, discovered your sexual identity, and flaunted it around like everyone else in this household we wouldn't be in this situation," Temari replied. Gaara just deadpanned at her.

"I did go out and discover my sexual identity. Need I mention that you're the only one who I told?" Gaara asked. Temari rolled her eyes.

"That's exactly why we're in this situation. You told me and haven't even let your own brother in on your little 'secret,'" she said. Gaara glared at her.

"What's you're point?" he snapped. Temari rolled her eyes once again.

"If you had told your brother the first time you got involved with someone, namely a boy, we wouldn't be having to have this conversation with your idiot brother," Temari said.

Gaara's lip twitched and frowned slightly before he replied. "Maybe… but it wouldn't be half as fun tease him now if I had told him then."

"Are you saying we get to mess with his mind?" Temari asked, hopeful that her brother would allow her to mess with her eldest brother's mind, once again. Gaara only nodded.

Bending down and crouching on the floor beside his unconscious brother, Gaara slapped his brother's face. Kankuro was immediately awake and alert.

"What? Huh? What's going on? Why am I on the floor?" he asked his brother. Gaara rolled his eyes and went to sit back down in his chair. Kankuro stood as well and saw that the food wasn't on heat. "I guess I'm lucky you got it off the heat… its done by the way."

Temari stood to get a place mat for the still hot plate while Gaara went and got plates and silverware. As Gaara set the table, Temari got the glasses, and after Kankuro put down his pan he got the milk. After everything was all set and all three of the siblings were sitting, they just sat for a moment in silence.

"You know… sometimes I feel like we're missing something," Temari commented. Gaara just shrugged and Kankuro made a non-committal grunt.

"Whatever, let's eat," Kankuro said. Food was distributed and eaten and after they were done, Temari decided it would be in both her brother's interests to continue her discussion with Gaara from earlier.

"Gaara… what exactly do you feel for the FBI guy?" she asked bluntly. Kankuro choked on his milk and Gaara twitched.

"… Naruto…" the red head mumbled. Temari leaned towards him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that," she said. Gaara glowered.

"I said, his name is Naruto," Gaara clarified. Temari smirked.

"Oh really now…" she leered.

"Do we really have to talk about this? I just ate," Kankuro complained. Both of his siblings glared at him, and he meekly let them continue their conversation.

"So what's with this fascination of his with you?" Temari asked, trying a different method of questioning. Gaara's face scrunched up minutely in thought.

"I don't know… the first time I met him it was because they suspect me of being the Sandman, hence the call tonight to make sure I wasn't out killing people…" Gaara started before Temari interrupted him.

"How did he get our number anyway, I'm sure you didn't give it to him," she asked. Gaara shrugged.

"I'm sure he has connections and that he'd be able to get it from somewhere… I hope he doesn't have my cell number…" Gaara said, mumbling the last part. Temari just nodded.

"But anyway, back to what you were saying," she prompted.

"Yes, please go on, this is interesting stuff," Kankuro added sarcastically, once again earning him two glares.

"But even that first time he was… staring at me and he even asked me out!" Gaara exclaimed. "And then he would just 'conveniently' show up everywhere I was going, and each time he ended our conversations with an invitation to a date. And all of this within the first week! And now this! He just picked me up, spun me around and kissed me right on the lips!"

Temari nodded her head.

"Dude, what was it like to be kissed by a dude?" Kankuro asked. Temari almost had to clap a hand over her mouth to keep from laughing at the absurdity of her brother's question, but instantly sobered when she saw Gaara was taking it seriously.

"I don't know. Maybe you can tell me if it was weird or not," Gaara commented idly. "It was… it just happened. I didn't even realize that he was kissing me until I felt a slight pressure on my lips. It was… nice…"

Kankuro and Temari shared a look between them. Temari had a small smile and Kankuro a knowing smirk.

"Anything else?" Kankuro asked.

"… I rather liked being in his arms…" Gaara admitted begrudgingly. Temari's smile grew into a full grown smirk. "I felt… safe. And then he kissed me and I… I felt… complete."

"Wow. Little brother, I think you might just be falling for this guy," Kankuro said. Temari nodded in agreement. Gaara scowled darkly.

"That's impossible. He's an annoying, stalker pervert," Gaara retorted. Kankuro laughed at his brother's description and Temari rolled her eyes. "He's always looking at my ass, and sometimes I could swear that he's pondering eating me."

"You know… the eating thing wouldn't be bad at all," Kankuro told his brother, earning him a smack on the arm from his sister.

"Don't be a pervert," she chided him. Gaara just feigned a look of confusion.

"How would him devouring me be a good thing?" he asked, trying to sound like he had no idea to what he was referring. Temari turned pink and marveled at her brother's acting while Kankuro grew a perverted grin.

"Well little brother, it would mean that he would…" Kankuro started to explain but Temari smacked him upside the head before he could finish.

"Don't you dare tell him about that!You'll scar his poor little virgin mind!" Temari scolded. Kankuro rolled his eyes.

"He's gonna learn about it sooner or later," Kankuro retorted. "He might as well hear it from his family."

"No! That's almost disgusting!" Temari replied.

"Uh… guys?" Gaara tried to interject, but his siblings just ignored him as they continued their argument.

"Its just like having 'the talk,' just on a different level," Kankuro argued.

"I said no! Its weird to have your brother explain felacio to your youngest sibling!" Temari argued.

"Would you two shut up!" Gaara shouted, earning him two surprised looks. Clearing his throat and lowering his voice, Gaara continued. "I already know what the hell he's talking about, I've done it before."

The room was dead quiet for a moment before Kankuro fell out of his chair in a dead faint. Temari cracked up and Gaara smirked. Moving over to their brother, they decided to smack him awake. When Kankuro suddenly bolt upright, he stared wide-eyed at his baby brother.

"What did you say?" he asked, almost afraid of the answer.

"Its unimportant, I want to know what all this means in concerns to Naruto and I," Gaara said, tactfully avoiding answering his brother's question.

Exchanging a look, Temari nodded for Kankuro to voice their opinion.

"We think you may like him as more than just a friend," Kankuro said, cowering slightly, hoping not to get hit again.

"… I never even thought of him as a friend in the first place," Gaara said.

"Well, what can I say little brother, you seem to lean a little on the gay side of the fence," Kankuro said. Gaara scowled at him.

"I don't like him," he said with a certainty.

"Gaara… why don't you at least give him a chance?" Temari asked. Gaara's scowl deepened and he stood up.

"I'm leaving," Gaara said before turning and leaving the kitchen and then the house.

"Our little baby's all grown up!" Kankuro exclaimed, hugging his sister and crying dramatically. Temari sighed and just pushed him away.

"I hope he'll be ok…" she said as the two remaining siblings cleaned up the kitchen.

Gaara didn't want to speak to Naruto the second time he called. But then there was that whole debacle with one of the Executive board members of the IMF being murdered, so Gaara figured it was in his best interest to call the blond back. He was still confused about what exactly he felt for the blond man, which didn't help the situation at all.

"What did you want?" Gaara growled through his phone at the blond.

"Hey Gaara…" Naruto responded. Gaara rolled his eyes upwards to look to the sky for help in dealing with this idiot.

"I said, what did you want?" Gaara repeated himself.

"Oh! You mean when I called earlier?" Naruto asked, clearly distracted by something.

"Yes," Gaara replied, trying to make this exchange as short as possible.

"I just wanted to make sure you weren't out killing people… especially now that I see that one of the Execs for IMF was done in by the Sandman…" Naruto told Gaara. "Why didn't you pick up anyway?"

"… Maybe because I didn't want to talk to you," Gaara snapped. Naruto chuckled.

"I totally fucked things up, didn't I?" the FBI agent said. Gaara could help himself from nodding in agreement. "Where are you anyway? Its really loud…"

Panicking, Gaara looked around. "I'm at a club. Temari and her… fiancé dragged me out, along with my brother, who's now missing…"

"In the middle of the day?" Naruto asked.

"…Yeah…" Gaara said, eyes darting around.

"Well… have fun," Naruto replied, giving Gaara an opening to escape their conversation.

"Yeah… fun…" Gaara muttered. There was a moment of awkward silence. "I'll… talk to you when I get back…"

"Really?!" Naruto asked, sounding way too excited. "Cause I was almost thinking I'd have to be a real FBI guy and just stalk you and tap your phone line…"

Gaara hung up. "Idiot."

Naruto had learned from Temari, and from Gaara's credit card provided, that the red head had hopped a plane Thursday night and would be arriving mid-Friday. So he was heading to Gaara's apartment to meet him when he got back. He was quite chipper, even for him, but that was because Gaara seemed to be giving him the tiniest of chances. Naruto had called Sakura right after his conversation with Gaara Thursday. The girl had been super happy for him, and had told him that he had to take pictures of them together. It was hard for Naruto to believe how perverted Sakura really was. Even though she had been nearly obsessive over his relationship with Sasuke (after she had been obsessed with just Sasuke) it still blew his mind that she liked that sort of thing.

So here he was, standing outside of Gaara's apartment, pondering if the red head was home. He reached out to knock on the door, but the door just swung open. Instantly in FBI mode, Naruto pulled out his gun, which he always kept with him since you never know when a gun would come in handy.

"Gaara?" Naruto called out softly, checking the living room for any sort of intruder, but only finding it in a state of disarray. Papers were strewn everywhere, there was an open laptop and a million books. Pillows were thrown across the room, which had knocked down some of Gaara's trinkets that had been on the wall. Becoming worried about the red head, Naruto started down the hallway. He checked out the first door on his left, just a bedroom. It was empty and immaculately clean. As he made his way to the second door, which was on his right, he heard running water. Without thinking, he burst through the door, pointing his gun at the man in the shower.

"Freeze!" he shouted. The figure in the shower froze before slowly turning to face the blond. Instantly Naruto was blushing and backing out of the bathroom.

"… Naruto…" Gaara growled. He slid the glass door open and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around his waist.

"Eh he he… Hi Gaara," Naruto said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head and still backing towards the door, an irate red head following him step for step. "Your door was open, and your living room was a mess… so I though maybe someone broke in…"

"And what criminal, pray tell, would take a shower in the apartment they had just ransacked carelessly?" Gaara asked, growing increasingly irritated.

"Um… the stupid kind?" Naruto tried, finding himself suddenly pressed up against the hallway wall. Gaara stopped in front of him, and put his hands on the wall on either side of Naruto's head before leaning in.

"Or maybe the stupid one is you?" Gaara said, scowling.

"Um… maybe you're right?" Naruto said, unsure of himself, and finding this position quite appealing. A wet, hot Gaara fresh from the shower, pinning him to a wall… definitely on his list of turn ons.

"Of course I'm right. You're an idiot and I don't know why I deal with you," Gaara said. Naruto smiled a bit.

"Because you love me?" he tried. Gaara scoffed at the idea but didn't say anything.

"Um… are we going to just stand like this all day?"

Gaara seemed to realize the position they were in and immediately backed away, but lost his towel in the process. Both men blushed darkly. Gaara quickly bent down and snatched his towel. Naruto, once again not thinking before acting, pressed the red head up against the wall and kissed him again.
