"Country mouse…"
Lee smiled, the epitome of innocence.
"Yes, my redheaded devil?"
His redheaded lover took a deep breath, attempting to stare him down with his blue-green eyes. Had he been anyone, it most likely would have worked. Except he was Lee Rock! Blue Beast of Konoha High School! He could not be frightened, nor deterred by his vengeful boyfriend!
"I am going to kill you. Then I shall chop your body into miniscule bits and use them in a collage with your blood for the paint."
Lee giggled, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to the other's thinly pressed lips.
"I love you too!"
Gaara's darkly shadowed eyes narrowed with deadly intent.
"I'm not joking. Your death will be stretched across hours until you plea for me to end your life."
Lee pouted, walking into the redhead till the other had to move backwards so as not to topple over. Lee kept his lover walking backwards till the back of his knees hit the bed. With that, he gave a little push so that his lover sat down on the green and red surface, situating himself in the other's lap with a squirm. He kept his pout, even though it was hard to when the other tensed at the movement, as well as what he was slowly coming to feel poking his butt.
"Gaara! It is only one night… And for all the good boys and girls as well!"
He fingered the white rim of the coat Gaara wore, allowing his eyes to slowly flicker back up to him as he continued to sway his bottom. He whimpered when pale hands bit into his waist and pulled him harshly down. That was most definitely his lover's youth poking him in the bottom…
"Please… For me?"
He made sure that his bottom lip was prominent and his eyes large and watery as he stared into the other's seemingly steely glare. There was almost a minute of Gaara staring at him with an unmovable will, and then he growled, tangling his fingers in Lee's hair to shove his tongue into his mouth.
"Only for tonight. If anyone, and I mean anyone, snaps a picture of this, I will murder them in your sleep and you as well."
Lee mentally squealed with delight as he was finally able to place the white wig over his boyfriend's head of red and the Santa hat over that. He almost trembled with joy as he stared at his lover. Black boots, check; red velvet coat with white trimming and red baggy pants to go with them. In contrast, Lee wore green tights beneath a green tunic, and a pair of green elf shoes with bells at the toe of both of them. On top of his hat was a green elf hat, also with a bell at the tip of it. Over his ears, he wore fake pointed ears colored so they were the same tone as his skin.
His smile grew as he nuzzled into his lover's throat.
"Oh, but Gaara! All of the parents will wish to take a picture of their awe inspired child with Santa Claus!"
The reply was a growled sigh. Comfortable silence went by for a number of minutes. Then Gaara put a hand on his shoulder, looking down at the crown of his head enquiringly.
"And what do you want for Christmas?"
Lee laughed, rearranging himself in his boyfriend's lap so that his legs swung over both of Gaara's thighs and his arm was wrapped around his shoulders. He smiled widely.
"Well, Santa, I want…"
He bit his lip, looking around himself as if he expected someone else to be listening. Conspiringly, he leaned forward to whisper into his lover's ear.
"I would like for world peace."
His lover shook his head.
"I can't do that for you. Anything else?"
Lee pouted. He took a deep breath and thought about it. He smiled with the next idea that came to mind. He had wanted this since he had been a small child! Unfortunately, since he had lived at the orphanage, he had never been able to get it because he hadn't wanted anyone to spend money on him. By the time he had left there, it had completely slipped his mind. Now, though…
It wasn't as if Gaara would take him seriously anyway. So there was no harm in answering!
This time, he kept his lips the width of a hair away from the shell of his hair as he whispered even more lowly than last time.
"I would like for a Congo Bongo Monkey."
He giggled at his lover's annoyed expression.
"A what?"
He pressed a finger to lover's scowling lips.
"Now, Santa, you are not allowed to question the children! You are to smile and nod your head and ask if I was a good boy or girl this year."
That made his lover blink. After a moment, he snorted, opening his mouth to bite the pad of Lee's finger.
"You have not been a good boy this year."
Lee jumped slightly at the nip before turning water eyes on the Santa that was now tonguing his finger, suppressing a shiver.
"I have too been a good boy, Santa! I helped all the needy and-"
"And fornicated with St. Nicholas."
He shook his head, keeping Lee's obsidian gaze.
"Sounds like something a bad child would do., doesn't it?"
Lee opened his mouth, snapped it shut, opened it, and could only stare stupidly at his teasing lover.
"G- Santa! That is not nice!"
Instead of answering, he quirked a nonexistent eyebrow.
"Says the boy walking around in tights that show off an exquisite little round ass-"
"WOULD YOU TWO JUST STOP!! I DON'T NEED TO HEAR THIS!!!!!!!"
Lee turned steadily red as he very slowly looked over his shoulder to Gaara other 'elf'. Naruto had somehow managed to get himself out of green and instead wore orange, though his outfit was the same as Lee's. Traumatized blue eyes opened and glared at them.
"We're leaving and you guys better get your asses down stairs! If you weren't Santa, We'd have left you perverts here!"
He stalked out of the room, a gawking Lee staring after him and an annoyed Gaara glaring at his back. It took two minutes before Lee was able to speak… Well, scream, actually.
"I AM NOT A PERVERT!!!!!!!! N-NARUTO!!!!"
Gaara stood up from the bed, Lee in arms, and walked out of the room and down the stairs.
"Yes, you are."
Lee gaped at him, and then began to get teary eyed.
"I am not…"
"Yes… You are."
He pressed his lips to Lee's, devouring the boy from the inside out. He separated only when he was at the bottom of the stairs, Naruto and his brother telling him to cut it off, Hinata most likely about to faint if he knew her well enough.
Lee separated from him, his face as red as Gaara's suit. Gaara whispered into Lee's ear, just as his lover had earlier.
"You're my pervert."
Lee gulped.
"Y-Yes…"
"Seriously, bro? Can't you two stop lip locking for thirty seconds while we get in the damn car?"
Gaara thought about the question as he held the squirming 'elf' to his chest, got into the back seat of his brother's car, seated Lee onto his lap (Lee tried to fight it. It was illegal, after all.), and drummed his fingers against his lover's thigh. After three minutes of driving, he still didn't have an answer, because he was lip locked, again, with his lover.
… Possibly, tomorrow, he would try to prove his brother wrong.
Lee laughed as yet another child pulled at Gaara's beard, asking him if it was real. Quickly, he was by their side, handing the small girl a candy cane before 'Santa' could answer. Gaara had an inability to lie unless he was being sarcastic or teasing… Both happened rarely. He smiled at the now content child.
"Did you ask Santa what you wanted for Christmas?"
The girl blinked up at him, then a large smile exploded across her face.
"Yep! I want a Barbie doll and a furreal pet!!"
Lee laughed softly.
"That is wonderful!"
The girl's smile disappeared in a second, looking up at him with a blank stare.
"If you're an elf, why are you so tall?"
Lee blinked… Stared down at the girl, and then took a deep breath, renewing his smile to full voltage.
"I had to be very tall to care for the reindeer!"
He winked at her.
"Only I and a few others are so tall! We had to come with Santa here because we have to go where the reindeer go!"
Her face was full of awe.
"Really!? Mommy says that I'll grow tall one day, can I take care of the reindeer too!?"
Lee blinked again, his mouth open but no words coming. He did not want to break her little heart by saying no, but saying yes…
"The reindeer each have their own caretaker. You would have to be apprenticed before you could even touch them."
Lee's head shot to Gaara with surprise. That was… almost a very good excuse. The girl pouted sadly, nodding her head anyway.
"Okay…"
Her smile returned in full blast. She leaned up to kiss Gaara's cheek, leaped off of his lap, and hugged Lee around the waist.
"Bye Santa! Bye Mr. Elf!"
Lee returned the hug. Hinata smiled, holding a camera in hand as she softly asked the child if she would like a picture with them. The girl did, so she got back in Gaara's lap, made sure that Lee and Naruto were there, and then smiled prettily. With a flourish and a loud squeal of joy, she ran back to the adult she had came with and showed off the picture.
Lee felt his chest swell with joy, his fists clenched by his mouth as he actually began to tremble.
"See what happiness we bring children, Santa!"
He said the last word teasingly, looking down at 'Santa' with pure love and exuberance in his eyes. His lover only stared blankly back at him. Some of the parents had been weary of them at first. Seeing as how their Santa had no eyebrows and his eyes were darkly shadowed as if he had not slept in ages. Luckily, their children's wants had outweighed their fear and they had spent seven hours with no breaks listening to little children tell 'Santa' what they wanted…. Maybe not so luckily for his lover, who had had to sit in the chair all that time, Naruto, who had complained of being hungry sometime after the second hour, or Kankuro, who had been looking like a very angry man from where he had sat at a nearby table waiting for it to be over. He and Hinata, however, had loved every moment of it.
Now, the last child was gone, seeing as how it was nine at night. It was time for them to pack up and head out. Lee was almost too sad to leave. Regardless, Gaara, Naruto, and Hinata went and changed out of their suits, Lee staying behind with Kankuro to clean up the stand. Once that was finished, he went in search of his lover, not at all bothered by the number of children that were still there walking up to him and telling him what they needed him to tell Santa, much less the either appalled or mocking looks he got. Some people just didn't have the Christmas spirit.
Three later, Lee was in bed, panting furiously and moaning word he did not even understand. His legs were pushed over his lover's shoulders and his lover was not taking any mercy on him. He cried out at a violent twist of Gaara's hips, his back arch and his hands ripping at the blankets over the bed. In a moment before he could warn his redheaded devil, he came all over their chests with a scream of pleasure. With his walls squeezing Gaara for all he was worth, his lover came hardly a second later with a resounding growl.
He fell over, landing partially on Lee, forcing the raven haired boy into a very awkward position. He felt almost unexplainably relieved that he was flexible, as well as the fact that he felt boneless, or else having his knees practically touch the bed by either side of his face could have been just a bit uncomfortable.
Still panting, he turned his head, blearily looking at the alarm clock. He smiled, stroking a hand through his lover's sweaty locks.
"… Gaara, it is Christmas!"
Languidly, his lover looked to the clock. He took a deep tired breath, forced himself up and out of Lee -making Lee moan as Gaara hissed- and then stood from the bed. He padded silently out of the room. Just as Lee felt his eyes slip close, unable to keep them open, the bed dipped and something papery like landed on his belly. He mumbled under his breath as he opened his eyes sleepily. On his belly was a… wrapped box. He blinked at it, then turned his gaze curiously to Gaara.
"…?"
In answer, his lover drifted his lips over his, only a whisper of contact, before pulling away, watching him intently.
"Merry Christmas, country mouse."
Lee finally comprehended. With a squeal of delight, though he was slightly hurt, he sat up, his hands almost trembling with excitement. Regardless, he was careful to open the gift slowly, gently taken the wrapping paper from it and carefully folding it away. His heartbeat seemed to go a thousand beats per a minute as the suspension built… and then it stopped for one disbelieving moment as he stared at the gift he now held in his hands.
… His redheaded devil had taken him seriously.
"… Congo Bongo Monkey… Where did you get this?"
He whispered his fingers reverently over the plastic musical toy, awed as he stared down at it. It had a drum between it's legs, drumsticks in one hand, a triangle in the other, and symbols on it's head. It was… It was…
Gaara frowned as he wiped away the tears that fell from Lee's eyes.
"Lee?"
He almost cursed as the other boy threw himself at him, sending them both crashing to the floor.
"Thank you, Gaara! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
He punctuated every 'thank you' with a kiss, his arms wrapped tightly around the redhead's neck.
"I love you so much!"
He practically screamed at the top of his lungs, right before he pushed his lips against the other's, beginning their own war of dominance. Gaara wrapped his arm around Lee's back, no longer caring about the faint throbbing he could feel throughout his back and head from impact.
When they pulled away, Lee bit into his bottom lip, looking quite ashamedly away.
"But, Gaara… I… I thought we agreed we would not exchange gifts this year!"
Which was part of the reason he had thought Gaara would not take him seriously. Throughout the Christmas season, Lee had had to run away from stores before he went and bought his lover a gift, determined to not do so as they had agreed. Now… now he felt bad…
Gaara's eyes were half lidded as they stared up at him.
"You already gave me what I wanted… Everything I've wanted… This… was the least I could do…"
Lee blinked, looking at Gaara with confusion in his eyes.
"… Surely, there's something you still want!"
Gaara stared up at him heatedly.
"… Say it again…"
Lee's confusion grew.
"What?"
"Do you love me?"
"Of course!"
There was utter conviction and passion in his voice, almost daring anyone to call him a liar and be proven wrong. Gaara flipped them over, spreading Lee's legs apart as he nipped at his collarbone. Lee gasped, arching into it.
"Tell me."
"I love you!"
"Again."
Lee whimpered as he felt his lover enter him slowly, careful of his already sore muscles.
"I love you!"
"Again!"
Lee whimpered as Gaara plunged his entire length into him with one thrust, foregoing gentleness. His back arched against the cold floor as his mouth gaped open on a cry.
"I love you!"
His lover's tempo seemed to be instantly wild, his tempo brutal and his body rocking Lee's back and forth on the ground. Had they been on the bed, chances were that the mattress frame would have been crashing against the wall. Lee screamed as his prostate was hit head on, his nails leaving marks down Gaara's back as the redhead continued to look down at him with so much fire and heat in his eyes. He grabbed Lee's erection, pumping it furiously in time with his own thrusts. Lee was so close to the edge, his vision was blacking out around the edges.
"Who do you love?!"
"GA-HAARA!"
Just like that, in what had to be the quickest round they had had since their first night, he came over their chests and Gaara's hand, his lover following him by moments. His redheaded devil sagged over him, forehead touches Lee's forehead as they stared into each other's eyes.
"W-wow… That was… so youthful…"
Gaara smirked at him. Lee almost felt his heart stop… again.
"That… is what you give me that no other being nor thing could ever match."
Lee blinked, too tired to rally up the appalled embarrassment he felt the statement needed. His lover had just made it sound as if he were talking of them making love! He certainly hoped he was the only one that could do that to his redheaded devil, but… Well! He would hope it was not the only thing!
Either Gaara could read his mind, or Lee was as easy to read as a children's book (he opted for the first one, just because he was too stubborn to believe the second), because he scowled at the now more than just confused raven.
"Love, you pervert."
"I AM NOT A PERVERT! Wait, what?"
Gaara stared down at the now wide awake raven, his lips twitching ever so slightly.
"You love me…"
"Always."
Lee wasn't quite certain where this was going. Then Gaara leaned down and kissed his lips again, his touch ever so gentle.
"Nothing can compare to that."
Lee found himself smiling, looking at his lover with joy splashed over his face as he watched the other nuzzle into his chest, hissing in pleasure when his tongue circled his nipples.
"And nothing can compare to you loving me…"
Gaara paused, not looking into Lee's eyes.
"… Do I, country mouse? Do I love you?"
His tone was rhetorical and slightly mocking. Lee knew why. Gaara, in his childhood, had been unloved and unwanted. That was why he was starved for the care of others. However, he had loved in his childhood, tried to reach out and play with others. He may be starved for affection, but he had came to learn that himself caring for others was weak, and a weakness he wouldn't ever indulge.
A man who wanted love like a dying man wanted peace. A man who was terrified to love in return for every time his heart was thrown so coldly to the ground.
Lee smiled, lifting the other's face back to him to drift his lips over his lover's lips.
"Oh, yes… Very much so… And I will never let your heart fall from my hands…."
Then he giggled, meeting his lover's eyes teasingly.
"Santa."
Blue-green eyes narrowed dangerously on him.
"I'm uncertain as to if you're deserving of the gift, elf."
He squealed as the redhead moved, as if insinuating that he was going to take the monkey away. He laughed as he wrapped his arms around Gaara's neck again.
"I swear, Santa! This elf will be very good and obedient!"
Gaara's lips covered his instantly.
"This elf better not be."
Lee cackled.
"Yosh!"
No story that includes Rock, Lee is ever complete without at least one 'Yosh!', and you all know it's true… I was on you tube and Kankuro was trying to hand over a Santa jacket to a murderous looking Gaara (it was a picture, I don't know where it is). I guess that inspired this… There is such thing as a Congo Bongo Monkey. I was looking up what children's toy Lee would want for Christmas (originally, I was looking for girl toy's, just 'cause I wanted it to be slightly embarrassing, and I can see Lee wanting a girl's toy), and came across the monkey… It is around 30 dollars, so it fit. I know it's February and Gaara was out of character. I liked it.
