He jumped off the sofa he was sitting on and bounded over to me. My mind must've went blank in the next second because the next thing I knew, the blonde was looking up at me with confused eyes.
"What the hell, Gaara?" He says, more shocked than angry.
"I don't know," I say softly. I had no idea why I just did what I did.
"You don't know why ya' just knocked me on my ass?" I shake my head and help him up. "Last time I try to give a guy a hug. Jeez!"
I could tell that he wasn't completely mad at me, but at the same time he was still glad I decided to stay with him.
Knowing that the blonde would be happier since I was here to keep watch over him made me feel this weird tingling in my chest.
"I'm going to lay down," I tell him. Really, I just wanted an excuse to leave the room and try to figure out what I was feeling. I have experienced all the emotions that a normal person would, though not extensively, but I was no expert on them. That was why I preferred not to let them get in my way- it takes too much effort to do things when you don't understand what's happening with yourself.
"Hey," Naruto called to me. I stopped and turned to look at him. "Um, since it's so early and all, I might want to go back to bed, so, y'know…do you mind if I just kind sneak in there with you later?"
I'm silent for a moment, thinking over whether or not I mind this. After a minute, I consented to the idea and Naruto smiled at me.
When I walk into the bedroom, I sigh as I slide under the covers. Why does it seem like I can't say 'no' to the boy? No matter what, he seems to be getting his way more and more. Maybe I feel like I owe it to him, for letting me stay the night…though that too was something he wanted me to do.
This blonde is getting the best of me, I think.
Not long after laying down, I am deep asleep. I dream the nightmare that haunts me, but I don't wake. This time, there was something odd that told me I should stay, that I should wait.
What is there for me to wait for?
The thought runs through my mind as my uncle and I hit the ground under the cliff.
I am know I am alive, but my uncle…his dead face is staring at me, smiling bitterly.
I lay there at the bottom, waiting for something. I watched the sun disappear in the sky and the sky darken. A drop of rain splashed my face followed by many more.
I'm cold and I'm alone. I just wish this would end.
What is there for me to wait for?
I wish my death would just come already. This pointless existence only brings me more pain. There is nothing for me to wait for but death.
The rain stopped falling on me. There was something that was shielding me form it.
I can't make out a face. I only see blue. Light blue, like the sky…
Something was on my chest. It wasn't heavy, it just felt out of place. I open my eyes slowly- it's an arm, a rather tan one at that. I look over at the sleeping boy beside me, a light frown on my face. I know I did agree to him and me sharing the bed- did that also mean he could be this close to me?
He has a stupid grin on his face as he hold me tighter. "He-he…"
I raise an eyebrow. Was he really asleep? "Naruto?" I called lightly.
The blonde didn't respond.
Well, it's not like this is uncomfortable or anything. Actually, I sort of…like…this…
My mind fades, my body relaxes. Soon enough, I'm back to sleep.
I stir again as I feel the bed rise next to me. Naruto tried to sneak out of the bed without waking me, but I did and I looked at him curiously.
"I was gonna' get something to eat," he said blushing. "I-I'm a little hungry…and…," he mumbled under his breath.
"What was that?" I raise an eyebrow.
The blonde scratched the back of his head. "I said that…it was embarrassing being all up on you like I was…" He laughed then changed the subject. "So~ do you want anything?"
I feel my stomach grumble at the offer- I believe I haven't eaten since Kankuro gave me that pizza. "Yes."
"What?"
"Anything is fine really."
"There you go again," he says teasingly.
I tilt my head. "What?"
"You're being indifferent again. What if I give you, like, a dead sheep's head? Would you really eat that?" He put his hands on his hips and raised an eyebrow.
My lips twitched into a slight smirk. This boy really is amusing. "If it was good, then yes-I would," I say back.
Naruto laughed at me. "What if it was infested with maggots?"
"Will it be seasoned and cooked?"
"Would you pay for it?"
"Out of curiosity."
He shook his head disapprovingly. "You're something else, you know that?" Regardless of his words, he smiled at me. "I'll just get you a bowl of cereal or something, okay?" I nod and he leaves the room.
I sit in the silence of the empty room, thinking about what I just said to the other boy. I had actually tried to joke around with him, and, apparently, succeeded in humoring him as he did me. There was a sense of pride that came this realization. I guess this makes us…friends, I think with mild content. I guess I never thought about having someone to "chill out" with until we were assigned to each other, but it's actually rather nice.
I could get used to being in the blonde's company.
I won't working on this story for a bit(not too long, there will be a couple weeks until I update next) because I'm gonna' type up an old Melloxmatt I wrote a while ago. WIth my school work and everything,it'll take a while.
Also, I'd like to know everyone's opinion for who the dominant one should be in this relationship. I'm nuetral so majority rules. TELL MEEEEE!
