Lee awoke the next morning when he felt a shifting in his lap. His eyebrows wrinkled with a frown while in the midst of a dream. What could that be? A dog? No….he didn't have any pets. He lived alone. Wait…
Where am I? The surface he was sitting on felt too hard to be his bed, or to have passed out in the training field. He groaned, rubbing at his eyes determinedly to get the groggy feeling to pass. It was then he realized he felt heavier than normal, so he wriggled a little to sit up and opened his eyes blearily. He saw icy blue eyes less than an inch from his own and jumped/ What a way to wake up. "Shi..! Don't scare me like that!" He sighed, rubbing at his neck as he let the memories from the other day filter into his mind. Oh…that's right. They were fighting…ambushed really.
"You saved me?" Gaara asked in consternation, leaning his head against Lee's shoulder wearily.
"Uh, well..." Lee trailed off as he started coughing viciously. He could feel the sand in his throat. Gaara looked at him in confusion, reaching a finger to rub Lee's dry, cracked lips with a frown. "You've dehydrated yourself, fool.." He claimed, reaching for one of Lee's water bottles. As Lee stopped coughing, he thought about that caress to his lips, and touched them absent mindedly. They were still tingling..
"Here." Gaara said, shoving the water bottle in Lee's face, interrupting his thoughts. Lee snatched his hand away from his lips, and muttered an agitated thank you before bringing the bottle to his lips and drinking deeply. He didn't really notice that Gaara was still watching him. He just knew he wanted that water, and more of it as it soothed his parched throat.
When he removed the bottle from his lips, a dribble of water dripped down his chin, descending toward his throat. Gaara watched the drop carefully as it neared the collar of Lee's shirt. He reached his finger up to catch the drop, licking it off his finger delicately.
That certainly got the leafs attention. He watched Gaara wide eyed, choking as he struggled to swallow. He ended up coughing on water and spluttering weakly before turning red and averting his gaze to looking outside the cave. The sandstorm had stopped. "We should head back, Gaara." he said to the Kazekage without looking at him. Gaara looked at Lee for a minute, then followed his gaze to the cave entry. "Not yet." he answered icily, gripping Lee's shoulder and trying to sit up. Lee looked at him sharply. "Not yet? Why?" he asked confusedly. Gaara sat up completely in Lee's lap, facing him. "Because I said so." he answered harshly.
His expression then turned from hard and calculating, to one of curiosity. He grabbed Lee's hand and traced the lines in his palms, frowning. "Interesting…". He lifted the jounin's sleeve up roughly, tracing a line up to his elbow. Lee shuddered in pleasure when the movement caused gaara to unintentionally press against his groin, and tried not to fidget. "Gaara...we should really-.." he started, but got cut off when Gaara put his hand over his mouth. He removed his hand to open Lee's vest, whom was by then openly gawking. He took a shaky breath as Gaara traced from his collarbone, down to his waist. His eyes were fluttering and his heart was beating wildly. Gaara looked up at Lee in confusion...he had noticed the increase and was worried by it. "Are you feeling well?". He retraced the line he was drawing on Lee's chest, and noted a pattern when Lee twitched jerkily. It seemed his touch was turning his supposed bodyguard into a jump rabbit. He smirked cruelly, more than a little fascinated by this. He didn't know what was causing Lee's reaction, but he knew he was in control. And he liked it.
Lee could feel the temperature steadily rising in the cave, and if they didn't leave soon, he couldn't be held responsible for his actions. Gaara was toying with him. He knew it, and he knew Gaara knew. And it wasn't fair. Every touch Gaara inflicted caused a degree of stimulation to Lee's body. It was only a matter of time before the Kazekage realized what was going on under his lap. Lee tried to shift so that wouldn't happen, he didn't want Gaara to find out. But Gaara pushed him against the rock to hold him still, having never been the most patient person in the world. He glanced at the leaf sharply when Lee whimpered in protest. Wrong or not, gaara didn't care. He missed tormenting people.
The kazekage sat back in Lee's lap, bringing his finger up to Lee's throat now. Lee closed his eyes and rested his head against the rock behind him. 'Wrong, wrong, WRONG!' he told himself fiercely. He looked up when Gaara removed his hand. Lee examined Gaara's face to see what he was doing now, only to have his face pale when the kazekage moved, lifting his knees upon noting something wasn't right. He looked down at Lee's lap, frowning. Realization came into his eyes and heglanced at the leaf in shock.
'Gay?' Gaara thought to himself, while Lee sat there shame faced. 'Maybe I can have some fun...' It didn't automatically mean he himself was gay as well. Just that he could torture Lee a little longer. Until he directly confirmed his suspicions. He grinned a wicked grin, sitting fully on Lee's lap again, wriggling as though to get comfortable, but pleased when he heard Lee gasp. "G-Gaara...we need to head back..." Lee hissed dazedly.
Gaara looked at him. He wanted to have some more fun, and internally cursed when a flicker of guilt ran through him. He knew he was embarrassing his new friend. Not to mention he had no intentions of getting involved. He just wanted to have a little fun. "Hn…." he stated, climbing off Lee's lap, twitching the corner of his lips in a wry smile. 'Enough torment...for now.' Gaara thought to himself evily.
'Fine?' Lee echoed in his head. 'Oh good.' he added as an afterthought, sighing to himself in relief. He struggled to his feet, and grabbed his backpack. It appeared Gaara had gotten his strength back, because he latched his gourd to his back and headed for the exit, waiting outside for Lee. Lee examined himself and groaned. This was definitely not going to be easy. But at least he had looser clothes now...it would make...things...less noticeable. He was horrified that Gaara had learned his secret. What was he going to do now?
He stepped outside the cave and followed Gaara at a safe distance. They were heading back to Suna...and Lee was pleased when he thought of his apartment back there. He really hated sleeping in caves. 'Although, you weren't cold, were you? Not with that hot body in your lap.' The exasperating voice in his head stated. Lee balled a fist and punched himself in the head to shut it up as they reached the village gates just when Kankuro rushed out to greet them. "How did everything go?" He asked worriedly. Gaara flashed a look of amusement in Lee's direction. "It's taken care of." He answered, walking past his brother and heading towards his office. Lee silently groaned in humiliation, walking towards his apartment.
