Lee's POV

Lee groggily awoke to the start of another day. Because he'd fallen asleep crying, he now felt terrible. Recalling his behaviour last night, he went to jump up from his bed, only to find he wasn't in his bed at all.

He was in Gaara's.

And sitting beside him, with a slightly worried expression, was said red-haired room-mate. Concern was brushed over his pale face, but that soon faded when Lee relaxed again.

"Are you okay now... or do I need to call the floor reps?" Gaara asked slowly, quietly, and almost cautiously.

Oh wait, He's Gaara, he probably is panicking on the inside... Lee thought with a small smile.

"I am fine now. It was merely a shock to me... heh..." The taller boy laughed sheepishly, and rubbed the back of his head.

Gaara replied with a 'Hn.', just staring out the window oh so far away. Lee decided to continue and change the conversation.

"So, what do you think of the reps, anyway?" Gaara looked at him, and seemed to be frozen, like an old computer taking its time to answer. Eventually he replied.

"Those two? They're okay I guess, I prefer Izumo to Kotetsu, though." The smaller one said, and he started to get up. "There's something I want to ask you though..."

"What is is?" Lee questioned, one bushy brow raised.

"There was a girl next to your mother in that photo, but you've never mentioned her before. She's... Pretty. Who is it?" The insomniac practically whispered.

"Lee looked down, and replied just as softly "That would be my sister. Interested?" He asked cockily, a smile growing round his face.

"That's not it, you two just look really alike, I was curious." Gaara stated quickly, and Lee could of sworn he saw the makings of a small blush threatening to show on the boy's cheeks.

"Haha, whatever you say, boss!" Lee laughed. "Well, that was my sister, and we were twins, so it's understandable that we look similar."

"Were? Ah I see. Wanna head to breakfast, I only have two lessons near the end of the day, actually. You should have something akin to that, right?" The red haired boy said, seeming to have recovered.

"Yeah, I have three. one at ten, then at the same times as you." The taller of the two informed him.

"Let's go then, it's 7:52."

"Where?"

"Ramen stand? We might see Naruto."


Gaara's POV

The two arrived at the stand, Ichiraku, was its name. Naruto was sitting down already, of course, wolfing down bowl after bowl. And next to him, was an eyebrow twitching Sasuke. The brunnette had brought a salad with him, and was eating it with a look close to disgust. Naruto was the loudest and sloppiest eater alive.

"Hi, Naruto, Uchiha." Gaara greeted. The pair turned to face the redhead, and both waved.

"Nice to see you. This dobe's dragged me out this morning, insisting that I pay. For that reason, I brought my own lunch so the shop doesn't run out of food." The Uchiha smirked, putting a piece of leaf in his mouth with a spork. He was hit over the head with a pair of chopsticks and his eyebrow twitched yet again.

"Dobe! What did I tell you about that? It's rude!" He yelled.

"But Sasuke-teme~" Naruto whined, Gaara thought he sounded like a child told he couldn't have any-more sweets.

"Nope, I'm not paying the bill for any more bowls, either, you're on your own. Perhaps this will teach you to-" Sasuke was cut of by the yellow Kitsune's pout. He stared at the tall blond for a few seconds, before caving and put his head on the table in despair, passing Naruto his wallet.

"I hate you." He said in defeat.

"Love you too, buddy." The blond grinned his foxy grin.

Gaara smiled at the two boys. Okay, so maybe it wasn't a smile, so much an upturning of the sides of his lips, but it counted, so...

Lee and himself sat down on the stools and ordered some good ol' miso. Ah, joy. Nothing like a classic to remind you of home. Gaara thought bitterly. At least he didn't have to return home for a while. If he was lucky, he could buy a car or something, and escape even after his short stay at college.


A while later...

The four of them, now finished and grateful for their food, were getting ready to return to their dorms. As they were turning the last block, Gaara bumped into someone. Bright black eyes stared directly into pale green. Bushed brows met none at all. Long black hair brushed against his own short red hair and pale skin.

"Oh! I'm so sorry-" She began, only to be interrupted by the brash blond.

"Hey, you two look real alike! You related or something?" Naruto asked Lee with a face-splitting smile.

"Do not be silly Naruto, I do not have any-" He began.

"Lee? Is that you?" The blushing girl asked, dumbstruck.
