Hey, everyone, my amazing beta ANARI CROSS is back! I'm so happy! I love you Anari! A special thanks goes out to you!
Enjoy~!
Kiba sulked around the village. 'Naruto ran! I told him my feelings, and he ran!' The young brunette was so wrapped up in his own world, that he didn't even notice someone calling his name. It wasn't until a firm hand came to rest on his shoulder that he turned around. "Shikamaru?" he asked the man behind him. The man had soft brown eyes, and very dark brown hair that was held in a high ponytail.
"Hey Kiba! Dude, I've been hollering your name for the better part of 5 minutes! Where the hell happened?" Shikamaru Nara half-yelled.
Kiba looked at the other man with sorrow filled eyes. "Dude. I'm in love! I finally confessed my feelings for this person, and they ran! They fucking ran! How the hell am I supposed to interpret that?" Kiba was once again, waving his arms around like a crazy person.
"Tsk, how troublesome." Shikamaru sighed. "And how exactly did you tell him?" he asked.
"Him?" Kiba said incredulously, whipping his eyes in all directions, panic slowly setting in. "Who said anything about a guy?"
"Really? You're going to ask how me, the genius of Konoha, figured out that one of his best friends was gay?" It was Shikamaru's turn to be incredulous.
Kiba sighed in defeat. "Yeah, you're right, nevermind." Kiba looked down. "Well, to answer your question, I kinda panicked! Someone else was confessing their feelings for him, and I had already watched my moment slip away once, I was not about to do it again!"
"So, basically, you ran and yelled 'I love you!' at this guy, he ran, and you're clueless as to why?" Shikamaru said, raising an eyebrow.
Kiba looked up, "Ok, so maybe it's not such a mystery. But it still doesn't stop me from wondering what he's thinking!"
"Well, maybe you should go and ask him!" Shikamaru said.
"I don't know where he went…" Kiba's voice drifted off as he thought about where the blonde would have gone. "Do you know where he is?"
"How would I? You never told me who he was." Shikamaru deadpanned.
Kiba scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "I guess I just kinda figured that if you knew I was gay, you'd have figured out who I like!"
"There is a big difference between noticing you didn't like women and noticing who makes you swoon." Shikamaru said.
"True." Kiba said.
"So," Shikamaru prompted.
"So what?" Kiba could really be an idiot sometimes.
"Who is it?" the lazy genius said.
"Oh! It's…well, uh…I-I like, um Naruto." Kiba said, lowering his eyes in embarrassment.
"Naruto, huh? Yeah, I guess I can see the attraction!" Shikamaru said, rubbing his chin.
A grin spread across Kiba's face. "Yeah, he's great! So, do you know where he is?"
Shikamaru looked in all directions. "Actually, yes, I do."
"TELL ME!" Kiba shouted in his friend's face.
"But it's a secret." Shikamaru said, scratching his face with one finger.
Kiba grabbed the man's shoulders, "Shik! This is a matter of love! You can't deny me this!"
Shikamaru sighed. "What a drag. Fine, I'll tell you."
Kiba did a happy dance! "-"
"ENOUGH!" Shikamaru yelled, laughing. "Do you want to know or not?"
Kiba immediately stopped. "Yes!"
Shikamaru nodded his head, gesturing Kiba to follow him. The pair walked all the way to the Nara residence. Once inside, Shikamaru shut his eyes, feeling around to make sure no one else was there. Once he was satisfied that the area was secure, he opened his eyes. "As most of us know, a group called the Akatsuki is after the Kyuubi sealed inside Naruto. We have recently received some intel saying that the Akatsuki is headed this way, prepared to make a move to capture him. So, Naruto has gone to Suna with Gaara to stay until it is deemed safe enough to return."
Kiba dropped to his knees, eyes wide. "So there is no way I can tell him without compromising his cover?" he said.
Kankuro shook Naruto awake. "Dude, come on! You need to get up!"
Naruto rolled over. "Wha-?" he said wearily, opening one eye. He lifted himself out of the bed and rubbed his eyes.
Kankuro laughed at the sleepy display. Glancing over Naruto's body, he said, "I can see why my brother likes you so much!"
Naruto blushed. "What do you mean?"
Kankuro laughed once more at the blonde's innocence. "Have you ever looked at yourself?"
Naruto's blush deepened. "Wait, are you saying Gaara is attracted to me?"
Kankuro sauntered over to the bed and leaned over the shirtless blonde. Placing one hand on each side of Naruto's head, he leaned in. "Yes, he is, but he would never say anything. Me on the other hand, I'm extremely blunt."
Naruto began to tremble. 'Holy shit! What is going on?' he thought as Kankuro leaned in closer. "Uh, Kankuro?"
"Hmmm?" Kankuro mused, a smile playing on his lips.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Teasing."
Naruto's face contorted into one of confusion. "Wait, what?"
Kankuro pulled back, laughter shaking his whole body. "Dude, I was kidding!" Kankuro wiped a tear from his eye. "Although, I was serious about my brother. Why do you think he had me share a room with you and not himself? He wouldn't trust his hormones, and I'm straight!" Kankuro walked over to his bag and pulled on some clothes.
Naruto growled at Kankuro's teasing and pulled himself out of bed. "Do I have time for a shower?" he asked.
The brunette looked at his watch. "Yeah, if you make it quick."
Naruto walked into the bathroom, stripping off his boxers. (A/N: does anyone not know where this is going? haha) Started the shower, and stepped under the stream of warm water.
Kankuro was repacking his bag, when there was a knock on the door. He walked over, looking through the peephole, and opened the door. "Good morning Gaara, what's up?"
Gaara moved past his brother and into the room. He sat down on Kankuro's bed. "How soon will you be ready to leave?" he asked, looking around and noticing the lack of Naruto.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened. Steam rolled out around a towel-clad Naruto, who stepped out, completely oblivious to the beet-red Gaara sitting on the bed. He walked over to his bag and pulled out some clothes. Turning around, he looked over at his roommate. "I forgot to bring these before!" he laughed.
Gaara felt a distinct tightening in his pants as Naruto's towel began to slip a bit. His breathing became labored and his throat became dry as images from his rather pleasant dream returned to him. They included a certain blonde writhing in pleasure under the Kazekage looking very much as he did now.
Naruto looked around, finally noticing Gaara. "Oh, good morning!" he said, completely forgetting the conversation him and Kankuro had before his shower. He turned around and laid his clothes on the bed, and began to slowly slip of his towel.
Gaara's eyes were glued to the hem of that fluffy white towel. He licked his lips in anticipation as the towel slipped over his tan round buttocks; but he groaned inaudibly as Naruto's boxers replaced the towel.
Kankuro watched this display, chuckling at the situation the blonde had put his dear brother in. Naruto turned around, noticing the way Gaara's eyes were scanning his body. "Uh, Gaara?"
The Kazekage's eyes snapped up to meet blue ones. "Sorry." he muttered. "Uh, you should change back into Nami, we need to get going." Te redhead rushed, dashing out of the room.
"What got into him?" Naruto wondered aloud.
"Wow, your memory really does suck!" Kankuro laughed. Naruto lifted an eyebrow. "Don't you remember what we talked about this morning?"
Naruto's eyes grew wide and Kankuro laughed. "Oops." was all Naruto could muster. The blonde gathered his things and placed them all back into his bag. Swung it onto his back, and transformed back into Nami. The pair headed out the door, met up with Temari and Gaara, and headed to Suna.
Hahahaha, poor Gaara! Who knew the Kazekage could get so flustered by arousal? Oh well.
Please review!
