Confusion sucks
The last bell rang, the day of school was finally over, Gaara felt as if it had lasted forever.
He made his way from his locker to outside and waited for his siblings.
"Hey!" Called Neji walking over, Temari and Kankuro in toe.
Gaara waves wide eyed, wondering where Naruto the spaz had gone off to.
"I've talked it over with your brother and it seems I'm going to be walking you home from now on! I mean that is if you want me to." Neji looked very happy and excited at this.
Gaara smiled "Sweet!" Neji's joy was rubbing off on him.
"Sooo Gaara." Kankuro said taking over. "Temari and I are going out ok? I'm taking Temari shopping, and Dad won't be home till five, and we'll be back by then most likely, is that ok?"
The red head thought about this for a minute and nodded. "It's fine,"
"Great!" Kankuro and Temari said their goodbyes, and got ready to go.
"You two have fun!" Temari yelled after them with a wink.
Neji rolled his eyes.
Gaara laughed at him.
They started walking to Gaara's home.
"You think that's funny eh??"
"I do" The shorter squeaked.
There must be a wound!
No one can be this hurt
and not bleed.

They laughed and joked the whole walk home, maybe even slowing their pace so it would last longer. Gaara had never really had a friendship like this, and something in the back of his mind was saying it might be a little bit more. Either it was the way he felt safe around Neji or it was the rising butterflies in his stomach when he gave him THAT smile and laughed, yes it was that smile, a smile so gorgeous it had to be a crime.
He felt weird having these feelings for him. But he couldn't help it.
They finally made it to the sidewalk next to the red heads house.
"So I'll see you tomorrow?" Neji said a little disappointed.
"Well yeah.."
"What's wrong?"
"I have something to tell you… um.. I-I" Gaara stuttered nervously, looking down at his feet, fiddling his fingers. He wants Neji to know how he feels, but he doesn't want to lose this friendship.
"Yes" the brown haired boy encouraged.
"Oh. Um, never mind!" Gaara admitted abruptly.
"Oh ok…"
"Hey, um, wana come in for a bit?"
"Sure!" Nejis immediate reply shocked the shorter one.
"Cool" Neji followed Gaara up to the front door, noticing how small Gaaras house was to his, but payed it no mind.
Gaara took off his shoes and set down his bag, Neji followed suit.
"Gaara you got anything to drink I'm dying" Neji made parched gestures.
"Oh sure! What you like?" the red head headed for the kitchen, while Neji lingered in the doorway.
"Um, waters fine." Neji suggested, being polite.
"How about Kool-Aid?" Gaara peaked out from behind the fridge.
"Yeah! My favorite." Neji practically skipped over in joy.
"With a straw?" Gaara grined.
"Oh of course." Neji flirted.
Maybe he might return my feelings… Gaara thought hopefully.
They grabbed their drinks and headed for Gaara's room.
"What do you want to do? Not much here…" The red head explained, closing the door to his room.
"Hm wana play some video games?"
"Sure, need for speed? I have a lot to un-lock on that…" Gaara bit his thumb.
"Really?? I'm pro at this game! I'll un-lock all the crap for you, you get some pretty sweet cars."
Tears freeze like ice upon my lips.
An addiction I wish not to overcome.
A love like yours, lost or gained,
is my only necessity to survival.

They sat close on the floor, as Neji played, Gaara watched on totally absorbed, noting the muscles that flexed wildly in Nejis arm as he used the controller. They both sat there for a good amount of time, it was flying by so fast. They were there so long the created a whole victory dance for times when Neji won.
They both ended laughing as Neji was rammed off the road by a cop after about a mile of chasing, Neji lost but it was ridiculously funny how relentless the virtual cop had been.
"Oh well! I'm all car'ed out!" Neji looked over to Gaara who was sipping on his Kool-Aid sweetly, a grin plastered on his face.
"Hey you stop smiling like that or else!" Neji pushed him over after he set his drink down.
"Hey loser, don't take it out on me!" Gaara said laughing "What you going to do about it?"
Neji jumped on top of Gaara.
The red head gasped, his breath caught. They paused for a long minute, Neji hot breath on Gaara's cheeks.
"This." Neji whispered leaning in cautiously, his lips ever so close to the others.
Gaara's mind just crash landed, he was extremely confused, his heart sped up, skipping a few beats. The butterflies now assaulting his stomach. They stared endlessly into each others eyes.
Gaara licked his lips.
Neji took that as a go ahead and leaned in pressing his lips sweetly on the shorters.
They felt the static connect between them.
Marking my land with nothing but fear
feeble tender minds creating but only leer.
Moments reflect ones selfish past
but the moments reject as they continue to last.

Neji opened his mouth, Gaara followed him, and the deepened the kiss, tongues exploring this new territory fondly.
The both flushed, getting extremely hot.
Neji's hands worked their way up Gaaras shirt, as Gaara's twined in Neji's long brown hair.
Gaara squeaked, and pulled away for air.
"Wow" Neji exclaimed, panting.
"What the-!!" a voice called
Neji and Gaara jumped at the voice and twisted to see the door to find the source of the voice. They both stared open mouthed at the man in the door way.
Ooooo I'ma end it there! Haha, so how was it love it? Hate it? REVIEW!!
