Okay! Big chapter, loads of shit and an NSFW warning. Enjoy C:


The lock clicked and Gaara opened the front door to the building that was squished into a wall of its kin. He followed the narrow stairs up to the third floor where he opened the door to a trail of clothing that laid scattered over the laminate floor. He closed the door and his eyes as he rested his head against the wood. A deep sigh passed his lips and briefly he pulled his head away. Like it was too heavy for his neck he dropped it back against the door. Again he closed his eyes and listened to see if he was going to make an extra stroll around the block. He heard voices, but nothing that seemed far from casual conversation. With a grunt he decided to pick up the pieces of clothing that made a trail to Kankuro's bedroom and softly knocked on the door.

"Kankuro, please pick up after your own mess," he said as laid the clothes on the couch before he turned to his brother. A small frown twisted into his face when he noticed one of Naruto's friends in the bed as well.

The young Inuzuka gave him an unfazed look as he stretched his body that was still half covered under the sheets.

"What is it, Gaara, I'm still kinda busy," he sighed as he tried to suppress the annoyance in his voice.

Teal eyes were ripped loose from the other man and quickly he looked at Kankuro again. "How do I get a guy to like me?" He asked a little absently as he tried not to look at Kiba, who, on his behalf stared holes into him.

There was a brief moment in which the oldest brunet stared at his little brother before he looked to Kiba and back. Finally Kankuro decided how to respond. He wrinkled his nose and made a face.

"I'll tell you what I told Temari, jiggle your tits and let him bang you," He uttered through a faint and somewhat forced grin. It quickly turned into the expression a child would have when he finally won its parents approval when Kiba burst out laughing. His face grew a little grim again when he turned back to Gaara and he found his little brother glaring murder and daggers at him. He scraped his throat and stared down to the ground before he gave Gaara a sorry smile.

"Hahah, really funny Kankuro," the redhead spat before he stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him.

"Oh shit," Kankuro hissed as he got up and snatched a pair of boxers from the ground. "Gaara! Wait!" He stumbled after the younger man. Once he had his boxers over his hips he managed to catch up with Gaara on the other end of the apparent in front his bedroom door.

"Don't you have more jokes to make about us to your new boyfriend?" Gaara snapped and Kankuro flinched.

"Honestly, we're...uhm...fuck-buddies...at best," he softly said with a shrug. "I'm sorry little bro, what happened?" He asked as he stepped away and made room for the other to follow his first few steps to the kitchen. With a small sigh Gaara watched his brother move before he traced his steps and followed.

Like a beaten puppy Gaara looked down at the surface of the table as he dropped his weight into a chair. He picked up one of his brother's cigarettes and from the corner of his eyes he watched the brunette make the both of them some coffee.

"Oi! Kiba! You want some coffee?!" He shouted in the general direction of his open door.

"Nah! Imma go out soon!" Was the reply from the other end of the house.

"Alright!" He shouted back a bit softer before he put two cups out and sat down as well.

"So, spill your guts," Kankuro said as he picked up a cigarette of his own.

Pale lips twisted into a thin line as Gaara kept his silence like he was a caught informant. Not a second later Kiba came out of into the kitchen, fully dressed and gave Kankuro a hard pat on the back which effectively made him hiss.

"Goddamnit!" He spat through his teeth as he glared at the young brunet. As soon as their faces met Kiba pulled Kankuro into a rough kiss by his hair. The redhead made a face and looked away until they broke up.

"See you later, fuck-buddy," Kiba spitefully grinned as he wiped his mouth.

Kankuro made a pained face at the words and wiped his mouth as well. "I'll phone you!" He called after the younger brunette who was just at the door. With a broad grin he turned around to face the older man again.

"Don't bother, I'll call you," he winked Before he closed the door behind him.

"Naruto thought we were out as friends," he sighed as he rested his head on the table and stared at the now closed door.

"Ahw, I'm sorry to hear that," Kankuro patted the younger man and stood up to pick up the two mugs from underneath the coffee machine. He placed Gaara's mug in front of the redhead in the centre of the table and lit his cigarette."Do you want me to beat the crap out of him?" He asked half jokingly and sat down with his own mug.

A watery smile curled into Gaara's lips and slowly he shook his head as he sat up straight again. "Maybe if I were still a child," he softly laughed and cupped his mug. His eyes moved down to look at the dark liquid in front of him and softly he sighed into his coffee. He picked up Kankuro's lighter and lit his own cigarette as well.

"So, what than?" Kankuro asked as he exhaled a cloud of smoke.

Gaara set his mouth to the mug and tested the heat before he placed it in front of him again. "I honestly don't know," he sighed.

"Maybe..." He started before he felt the corners of his mouth pull back and a frown tie into his face, "maybe you should try and move on from him?" He tried and leaned further over the table. "Or just make your intensions clear to him, but you can't continue to just blindly follow him," Kankuro finished as he turned his concerned expression to the table.

A humourless snort of laughter escaped Gaara. "Funny, Shikamaru said the same," he said and he sighed a sorrowful sigh.

"Maybe because it's a good idea?" Kankuro tried through an hopeful smile. A brief silence fell and both men stared into their coffees while they smoked away the last bits of their cigarettes.

"Please just do something though, I mean, if you keep coming back like this I might actually beat the crap out of him for hurting you," he tried through a watery smile and softly he pinched Gaara's cheek in a manner that wasn't foreign to Temari.

With a weak smile Gaara swatted away the hand but chuckled softly nonetheless. "Kankuro, we're grown men,"

"But you'll always be my little brother,"


"Naruto, this is hard for me to say, but I have to be firm, for too long I've let my emotions and feelings towards you blind me, you saved me twice and forever I will be loyal to you, but for my peace of mind I have to let you know that I am honestly in love with you, I want to be your partner rather than a friend and I hope you understand that if this is not a possibility, I might have to stop seeing you for a while," he took a deep breath and nodded to himself as he rehearsed the words once more. Again he took a deep breath and exhaled the nerves that had crawled up to his throat before he knocked on Naruto's front door.

In silence he counted the seconds before the lock clicked and the door was opened.

"Gaara! What brings you here today?! Come in, come in!" He urged the redhead and stepped aside.

With a grim look on his face Gaara stepped into the tiny apartment before he sat down on the bed in the lack of an actual couch. Behind him Naruto closed the door again and felt his happy smile fade when he took a better look at the other man.

"What's wrong?" He asked as he stepped further into his apartment.

Thickly the redhead swallowed before he looked up from the ground. The box that Hinata had dropped off still laid in the same half unpacked manner as it laid so many weeks ago and the only addition to the table was a toy ring. He recognised it as the one Naruto had given Hinata as a gift two years ago.

"Oh god! Please tell me nothing bad happened?!" Naruto kneeled besides Gaara and placed his hand atop of the redhead's lap.

Gaara cocked his head to the side slightly and shook his head. His lips were pressed together and with a soft whimper he looked down to the tan hands on his lap.

"Gaara?" He reached up and cupped the man's cheek. Without a thought the smaller man closed his eyes and leaned into the touch. "What's wrong?" He asked as he got up and sat on the coffee table so that he sat straight across from the other man.

Pale lips parted but his tongue failed to twist into the words he had wanted to say for years now.

"Nothing, I'm just sad," he finally managed to force out.

A sad smile of relief curled into Naruto's lips and he leaned forwards. His forehead pressed against Gaara's and with a soft sigh he closed his eyes. "That sucks, I'm here for you though," he said as his hand slipped further over Gaara's lap and got a hold of his wrist. His thumb caressed thick scar tissue before both of them pulled away.

"You had me scared there for a moment!" Naruto nervously laughed and scratched the back of his head. "The last time you had that look on your face you almost..." He trailed off and let go of Gaara's wrist, "well you know," he shrugged.

A wry smile curled into Gaara's lips and slowly he shook his head. "No worries, I'm not going to kill myself," he reassured the blond.

"Good! Cause if you'd do I'd have to kick your ass from the afterlife for leaving us!" He grinned broadly and stood up. "If you want to smoke inside you know what to do," Naruto said as he put the kettle.

A faint smile curled into Gaara's lips and he turned around to open the window. Not much later Naruto came back with a mug full of instant coffee and a small makeshift ashtray.

"Thanks," the redhead said as he fished the package from his pocket along side the lighter and tossed both on the table in front of him.

Neither of them said anything as Naruto turned on the telly and draped himself over Gaara like a protective blanket. That's the way it has always gone.

"I forgot to ask the other day but.."

Gaara looked to where Naruto had rested his head on his shoulder and hummed.

"Who won monopoly?"

A small snort of laughter escaped Gaara and slowly he shook his head. "Shikamaru, he absolutely crushed Kankuro and me, though Temari came a close second," he smiled a little brighter.

"Was your favourite game as a child again?" He asked and cocked his head to the side slightly so he could see part of Naruto.

The blond hummed and pursed his lips, "me and granpa Jiraiya used to play toad catching," he grinned broadly. "Mom and dad weren't happy when I came back with buckets full of toads though," he snickered. "How about you? I don't think you've ever told me your favourite childhood game,"

Gaara wrinkled his nose, "I never really played games with my family, my uncle maybe," he shrugged. "Dad was always busy with work and neither Temari, nor Kankuto ever played with me as a child," he frowned.

"Reverse childhood?" Naruto asked.

Softly Gaara chuckled, "almost right?" He said and picked up his mug. "I remember having a stuffed bear that I carried with me until I was ten,"

"Even to school?" Naruto asked as he climbed off Gaara and sat next to him instead.

"Especially to school," he said as he picked up a cigarette and lit it. "He was my only friend for the longest time, though he was a bit bossy," Gaara joked the last bit.

A small laugh escaped Naruto, "sometimes I wonder if you were legally allowed to quit your meds," he joked and nudged the other man.

"Same could be said about you mister; I use my ADD to get out of trouble in school," Gaara grinned into his coffee.

"Okay, okay, you caught me," Naruto raised his hands in defeat. "But in my defence, what's the point of having a disorder in which you can't concentrate because your thoughts are going a thousand miles per hour if you can't actually use it as a lame excuse for when you may or may not have been playing Mario cart instead of studying?!" The blond exclaimed.

Gaara gave Naruto an amused frown and slowly he shook his head in response.

"It doesn't work anymore though, Sakura told our supervisor that I do actually take my Ritalin regularly," he moaned.

"I'm sure you'll find new excuse," the redhead patted his friend on the shoulder before he killed his cigarette.

"Someday!" Naruto cocked his head back and rested the back of his hand against his forehead in a dramatic manner. He was snapped out of his little theatrics when an alarm on his phone started buzzing. Quickly the blonde picked it up and turned it off.

"Well, I'm sorry to say but my shift starts soon," he said and got up. From a hanger that rested atop a door he picked up a beige overall and folded it to fit into his backpack. "Feel free to stay around, you know how to lock the door," he continued as he picked his lunch and drinks from the little fridge and shoved it into the backpack as well. Gaara just sat there but watched in great fascination how organised the blond could be with the help of his phone.

"I'll text you, aight?" Naruto said as he pulled the backpack over his shoulder and picked his pushbike keys off the counter.

With a small smile he watched Naruto make a final check in all of his pockets. "Yeah, sure,"

"I've got an early shift on..." He quickly checked his phone, "Thursday, you'd like me to come over then?" He asked as he forced his feet into brown boots.

A thoughtful hum escaped Gaara and quickly he nodded, "yeah, that sounds good," he smiled and watched Naruto stop for a moment in the doorstep.

"Alright, see you when I look at ya!" He said and quickly waved Gaara goodbye.

"Bye," Gaara lamely waved his hand a little before the door was closed. With a soft sigh he placed his mug back on the table and dropped sideways. He wasn't sure whether he felt better or worse and with a groan of frustration he curled up in the bed.

"Goddamnit Gaara, every single time you do this," he sighed and silently stared at the little ring that seemed to stare back at him.


"Sometimes I like to imagine I'm a ninja," Naruto stared up at the ceiling while his hands traced aimless patterns on Gaara's back. His fingers had slipped underneath the loose fitting ACDC shirt a long time ago and now it was shoved up around his armpits.

A small confused yet humoured frown curled into his features and slowly he looked up to Naruto, "a ninja? Why would you want to be a ninja?" Gaara softly asked as his own hand traced random patterns on the blond's chest.

A bright smile curled into Naruto's lips as bloodshot eyes met one another. "Ninja's are cool! They've got all these cool weapons and powers!" He started with the enthusiasm of a young child. Gaara still stared at the blond with nothing short of curiosity as Naruto looked back the the ceiling like it was the most interesting thing on earth.

"But, like, we're all ninja's in my imagination!" He happily continued.

"Really," Gaara blinked and inched a little closer. "What kind of ninja am I?" He asked through a curious smile.

"A really cool one, like, you can move sand with your mind and shit, and you're really strong!" The caressing his fingers had done stopped so his hands could emphasise his point.

A small smile grew a little brighter on Gaara's face and briefly he looked down to the sandy coloured loose fitting gipsy pants. "I miss the desert," he softly said, as one of his hands graced over the red flowers that crawled up from his ankles.

"You're just not really strong physically," Naruto grinned in a cheeky manner and slowly rolled on top of the redhead.

There wasn't much resistance on Gaara's side and with a soft 'oof' he let the other man roll him onto his back. "I can see why that is," he smiled faintly.

"Yeah, well, I like you for you, so... it's ...uhm... It's alright...if you're not..." Naruto started and trailed off when their faces slowly grew closer until their lips met. Bottled up desire on both ends broke through the cracks as their kiss quickly grew heated. Hands reached for skin as they gripped each other tightly.

"Fuck," Naruto breathed into Gaara's ear as they broke from each other. "I wanted to do this ever since the movies," he softly admitted.

"Me too," Gaara admitted in the same breathless manner as he felt Naruto's hands laced around his shirt. He lifted his torso so that it could be pulled off and his own hands plucked Naruto's shirt away in an equally rushed manner.

The shirts were thrown off the beds and with both hands on his waist, Naruto threw Gaara on top of him as they rolled back the other way. The redhead straddled on Naruto's stomach and he placed his hand on his now bare chest.

"It was an hellish eternity!" The blond fake pouted.

A small amused smile grew a little brighter into his lips, "it was two and a half weeks," Gaara softly corrected him.

"Eternity!" Naruto squeezed the narrow and bony hips between his hands. Fingers trailed up over Gaara's angled body and slowly followed the curves of his pale skin over ribs that stuck out slightly.

"You look so fragile," Naruto absently muttered while Gaara's hands roamed the tanned skin beneath him. A small frown tied into the redhead's brows when he heard those words and his cheeks gained a rosy colour. He felt muscles tense and relax under the skin as his soft touches continued to explore Naruto's chest. Slowly he slid back and hummed softly as he rested on the blond's lap. Gaara's eyes looked down to himself and the large tanned hands that held him.

Pale hands slowly lifted off Naruto as they almost stepped towards his shoulders instead. The pair of hands on his body moved up as he leaned forwards. His back arched when he felt fingers trace the vertebra in his spine. His upper body obediently lowered when his shoulder-blades were caressed. His eyes had closed ages ago and blindly he bend to fit Naruto's every touch. The hands moved on and traced his collar bones while his own hands did the same. Gaara opened his eyes again and smiled at how mesmerised the blond looked. Once more he lowered his head and he locked their lips into a soft kiss that quickly deepened.

The wondering hands moved down from Gaara's torso and back to his hips. Cautiously the fingers inched further back until they waited on the edge of the redhead's ass. There was a moment in which neither men were sure what to do and they broke the kiss. Moist lips remained pressed up against each other and curiously Naruto peeked through one of his eyes before he quickly closed it again. Time seemed to have stopped for a moment until Gaara moved again. He bucked his hips into the touch and gave Naruto's lower lip a quick lick that was hastily replied. Naruto pulled down the elastic waistband and the soft fabric slid down pale legs only to stop where knees met the bed. The blond was hardly surprised when he found more bone than flesh, he didn't expect the other man to have the soft curves he had grown used to. In the end, Naruto loved every inch of skin Gaara let him touch.

A whine of complaint was uttered when the redhead broke himself loose from Naruto's mouth and sat up straight. With little effort he wiggled himself out of the blond's grip and laid down next to him where he pulled his pants down completely and threw it too the other end of the bed. With a great deal of curiosity blue eyes followed the gipsy pants before he clicked on and got rid of his own pants as well. In a hasty manner he fiddled with his button and zipper. Once he had rushed his trousers off Naruto turned back to the other man and pressed a quick kiss against his lips before he slid down between his legs. Gaara looked down at how the wild mop of blond hair settled between his legs and loudly he swallowed away saliva too thick.

"Is..uhm..?" He softly mumbled into the pale thigh while his fingers rested at the elastic waistband of Gaara's boxers.

Eyes with dilated pupils met, heartbeats drummed a steady baseline and breaths laid on the borderline of pants.

"It's..uhm... Yeah.." Gaara softly stumbled over his words and he lifted his hips slightly when Naruto pulled away the last piece of clothing. His erection sprang out the moment his boxers were moved and nearly slapped Naruto in the face as it bounced.

"Is this...?" Gaara couldn't find his own voice when the other man gently grabbed the base and set his lips against the tip.

"No," Naruto breathed before he swallowed the head.

A gasp escaped through swollen lips before Gaara closed his eyes. He let out a breathy moan of approval when Naruto swallowed more and exhaled a warm breath on the remaining skin. Naruto's cheeks hollowed and he started bobbing his head. With half lidded eyes he stared at what was going on between his legs and soft pants grew louder as the blond progressed. Naruto looked up as he sucked a little harder and their eyes met. Quickly Gaara looked away when he was caught peeking and with a 'pop' the blond pulled away.

"You're face is the same colour as your hair," Naruto softly said through a crooked smile.

He sat up as well and brushed some hair out of Gaara's face, while, with a soft grunt the redhead looked away. The hand slipped to his mouth and caressed the lower lip. On his turn Gaara parted his lips and let the thumb grace the top of his teeth.

"Do you wanna try?" The words were whispered like it was a secret.

The thumb was pushed a little further and eagerly Gaara swallowed. His tongue twisted around the digit before he gave it a soft nibble. He parted his teeth and Naruto removed his finger again. Without a word the blond inched backwards off the bed and Gaara followed until he was kneeling on the edge. Slender fingers worked their way around the waistband and hastily pulled them down. A hand tangled into his red hair and brushed it out of his face while the other one wrapped around the member in front of him. He opened his mouth when the tip was pressed up against his lips. One of Gaara's hands moved off the mattress and found balance on tanned hips. Slowly he leaned further down as he closed his eyes and started to move his head. The tongue that once rested motionless in his mouth gave the bottom of the head a lick and briefly pulled away. The soft moan he heard when his lips away from the head.

His eyes opened eyes and looked up to Naruto before he opened his mouth again and sucked the tip between pursed lips. His fingers replaced Naruto's and with a deep exhale through his nose he swallowed more until he found his gag reflex and he wiped his mouth clean.

"Enough?" Naruto asked as he kneeled down and pressed a kiss against the corner of Gaara's mouth.

"I'm not entirely sure how I feel about doing that, but I guess I'll get used to it," the redhead said with a shrug.

"I hope you do," he smiled and sat down on the bed again. Gaara blinked at him before he climbed on top of the blond's lap and rested his head into his shoulder.

"The top drawer," Gaara softly said.

A confused frown tied into Naruto's brows and he wrapped his arms around the other man. "What's with the top drawer?"

For a second Gaara nibbled his lower lip and contemplated whether or not he wanted to call it quits and turn back. The cock that twitched against his ass had him shiver and make his mind up rather instantly.

"Lube, and condoms, they're in the top drawer in my nightstand," he breathed against Naruto's skin.

There was a moment in which the blond seemed frozen on the spot. "You've got condoms..." He stammered before he leaned and pushed Gaara back slightly by his shoulders.

"Yeah..." He muttered and lifted his hand from the redhead's shoulder to reach for the nightstand. Aimlessly his hand grasped empty hair until he finally found himself able to tear away from Gaara's half lidded stare. "I...uhm...I can't.." He tried to make out some proper words.

"Oh..oh! Oh yeah!" Gaara uttered as he noticed they were sitting too far away. Quickly he stumbled off the blond and rolled onto the bed. With a small nervous smile on his face he watched Naruto fished both a bottle of lubricant and an unopened pack of condoms. With a blank stare the blond placed both items on the nightstand and fiddled with the drawer as he closed it. Slowly he climbed atop of Gaara again and pressed their lips together. Without a fight the redhead leaned back into the bed while his hand reached up. He laced his fingers into Naruto's hair and gave it a gentle tug. His legs opened as the blond climbed and settled between them. Their kiss deepened before Naruto's is hand slid down the other's side, down to his leg and he lifted it over his back. Eagerly Gaara's leg wrapped around his waist and slowly they grinned into each other in a fashion that could put horny teenagers to shame. Naruto's hands slipped into the red hair on the mattress until they broke apart again. With laboured breaths they sat up and Naruto picked up the bottle of lube while Gaara rolled on his stomach. The weight on the bed shifted when the blond climbed on top of the pale man.

With a small nervous grin Naruto grabbed the redhead's hips and pushed his ass into the air. He popped the cap and poured some of the liquid over his index and middle fingers. A cold shiver ran down Gaara's spine when the fingers slid down his ass and pressed against his anus. Gently they probed the ring of muscles and Gaara sucked in air through his teeth when the fingers pushed through with relative ease. His legs spread apart a little further as they pushed deeper. A long sigh escaped passed his lips as he nuzzled his face further into the mattress and loosened his grip on the sheets. His skin grew feverish and his stomach felt hot as they started moving faster. Pants passed parted pale lips and Naruto's free hand moved over his own leg. His fingers wrapped around his cock and slowly the blond started jerking himself with his free hand. He pulled his fingers out and quickly they picked open the wrapper of the box of condoms.

Gaara turned his head slightly and watched as surprisingly quick fingers picked apart the wrapper and pulled the latex over his cock. He rubbed a little bit more lube over it and positioned it against Gaara's ass before he slowly pushed himself deeper into the other man. A soft breathy moan escaped Naruto as his hips pressed into the redhead's backside. A wave of pleasure washed through his lower abdomen when he pushed into him along side a small sting of faint pain. He inched in and out and soft breaths grew loud as the feelings intensified. Gaara stared at the the wardrobe and his face grew bright red when he noticed his mirror reflection. The redhead bit his lower lip and he watched the twitchy movements slowly grew into full thrusts. A more vocal moan escapes him when Naruto grabbed his hips and slammed into him. A heat wave of pleasure rushed to his groin that sparked a desire for the rough manhandling despite the slight pain. With the sudden noise however a somewhat startled Naruto instantly stopped.

"Oh! God please tell me I didn't hurt you!" The blond called as he leaned and tried to actually see Gaara's face.

Teal eyes tore away from his mirror reflection and looked back at half of a worried face and half of his shoulder.

"No, no...don't worry," he softly started. "I...I think kind of like that.." Gaara confessed before he lifted his torso off the mattress and braced his hands against the edge of the headboard.

"Oh..." Naruto said in the lack of a better response. "Do you want me to continue like that?" He absently continued.

"Y-yeah," he hang his head and softly answered.

Like told the blond held his hands on Gaara's hips and pushed and pulled them accordingly. The pace sped up and Naruto's movements became jagged when he felt heat twist a tight knot into his abdomen. Muffled moans, grunts and pants had replaced all speech or thought when movements grew desperate and shallow. With a hazy stare he watched Naruto's facial expression twist up with pleasure as he rammed himself into Gaara a few last times before his movements slowed. Slowly he pulled out and rolled the rubber of his prick before he tossed it in the rubbish.

With a soft sigh Gaara dropped his torso on the bed and rubbed his legs together. Despite that lovely feeling in his head that could only be likened to candy floss, he still didn't feel entirely satisfied. He laid down on his stomach and frowned at the wet feeling between his thighs before he, without warning was flipped over. He gasped but didn't fight when he saw that Naruto pulled open his legs and settled between them. Without a word he once more wrapped his lips around his still hard member and started fingering him once more. One of Gaara's legs moved and was draped over Naruto's back. Pants grew loud again and the redhead quickly found himself overwhelmed when a tongue twisted around his member and fingers fucked him with the same eagerness and haste. His body tensed up and tightened around Naruto.

No words were needed and Naruto pulled his mouth off his cock when the salty taste of pre-cum dripped over his tongue. Not a second later Gaara grew completely silent and he came on his own chest. Slowly the blond moved away from the other man and dropped down next to him on the bed.

Covered in a layer of their own sweat their pants ebbed away to soft breaths and their bodies grew cold. Gaara opened his eyes again and blinked a few times when he noticed Naruto was smiling at him. He wanted to say something but his mind refused to come up with words of any kind except for;

"Well that was different from what I had expected," he finally said and broke the long silence.

"Is that good or bad?" Naruto asked as he rolled to his back as well.

"Neither, it was different," Gaara repeated. "But if it will make you feel better, this was the best sex of my life," Gaara softly said.

At first a proud expression washed over Naruto before he realised the implications and quickly a rather concerned frown replaced it. "I thought you were a virgin?" He said and cocked his head towards the other man.

A small smile curled into Gaara's lips and he too faced towards his friend, "I was, that's the joke," he said and his hand crawled over the bed only to lace his fingers into Naruto's.

"Eh, still counts as best, I'll take it," the blond shrugged and squeezed the hand that now rested in his.

A comfortable silence grew between them again as neither had anything to say.

"Would you like to take a shower with me?" Gaara finally asked.

Naruto shot up with a broad grin on his face "dibs on washing you!" He called and hopped off the mattress slowly followed by Gaara. As the redhead stood up and followed Naruto, an uneasy feeling settled in his stomach.


Yaaay! Gaara made a funny. I love how Kankuro's thought process in this chapter literally is; "hah! See, I can be funny! I'm fucking funny! Oh..oh! Gaara doesn't look that amused..oh shit! He's proper pissed! Oh god! Oh no! Nononono! Gaara! I swear it was a joke! You don't understand! I still want to stick my dick in this guy! Please don't tell Temari! I never actually said that to her face!"

Also, I find the power dynamic between them kinda interesting, I've always had this feeling that Gaara had a massive man-crush on Naruto (it might just be the fan-girl in me) but I found it a funny thing how highly Gaara always spoke of Naruto and even went so far as to help out get Sasuke back in the original series. I always found they had this kind of 'Naruto says jump and Gaara asks how high' dynamic to them. This might also be because I think that Naruto was considered Gaara's real friend and the fact that he seems to look up to Naruto.

Moving on, yes, I am convinced that Naruto has ADD and I don't think people will blame me. Whenever I do an AU thing with them, you're more than likely to find it in some way shape or form.

Anyhow! Thanks for reading!
