Author: Well, I'm on spring break and horribly depressed right now. So the only thing I can think to do is make this relationship beautiful and full of love. Anyway, sorry if things seem a tad OOC, but Sasuke and Gaara have their own personalities in my story. So Read and Review as always!
Sasuke worked quickly. He tore off Itachi's sheets and threw them into the dumpster. Then he hesitated, looking at the matress. After a moment of indecision, he proceeded to drag it outside. He'd get rid of it later. He cleaned out Itachi's room thoroughly so it was entirely bare, then ran one hand back through his hair. He had two hours until Hinata dropped off Gaara.
He locked the door behind him and drove first to a matress store, buying a full set of sheets and pillows. While he was paying, he bought Dragon's Blood incense from the front of the store.
The delivery van followed Sasuke back to his house, where the Queen sized matress was arranged in it's bedframe. Sasuke finished the final touches on the room, lighting the incense in the hallway. Just as he was done, he heard Hinata's car in the driveway.
Walking out to meet them, he saw Gaara sitting in the front seat. Kiba got out of the back and helped Gaara to his feet. Then Gaara smiled faintly and pushed away his offered arm. "I can make it from here." He said lightly.
Kiba blinked, then nodded. Hinata walked over to Sasuke. "Tsunade-sama said to bring him back in a month to make sure everything's ok." She told him. He smiled.
"Good." He replied, watching Gaara walking up to the house. Kiba grabbed a bag from the trunk and followed him.
"They let me stop back at my place and pick up some stuff." Gaara said. His voice sounded weak, but happy.
"Cool. You guys want to come in?" Sasuke asked Kiba and Hinata as Kiba deposited the somewhat small bag at Sasuke's feet.
"Sorry, but we have to get going." Kiba said. Sasuke shrugged.
"Ok, well thank you." Sasuke said.
Gaara smiled. "I appreciate you helping me out." He added. Hinata stepped forward and they folded their arms around each other. Sasuke was surprised by the embrace, but somehow, it made sense. They were both so quiet, it was only natural they should be comfortable with each other.
Then Hinata briefly embraced Sasuke. "You all right?" She asked him quietly. He nodded and smiled.
"I'm doing good." He replied. She broke away, and Sasuke couldn't help but notice the uncomfortable look on Kiba's face. Gaara noticed it too, and he and Sasuke looked at each other briefly, the nodded.
"Bye, Kiba-kun!" They both said, then moved forward and hugged him fiercely. Kiba flushed in embarassment and wriggled out of their embrace.
Laughing, Hinata took Kiba's arm and they got back into their car, waving as they drove away. Sasuke turned to Gaara and picked up his bag. "Come on, i'll show you your room." He said, opening the door for him. Gaara stepped into the house and followed Sasuke down the hall.
Tossing Gaara's bag onto the bed, Sasuke plopped down on it, watching Gaara explore the room. "I like the incense," Gaara said, examining the closet space. "Dragon's blood?"
"Yeah." Sasuke said. Gaara sat on the bed next to Sasuke, and silence fell over them. "I'm really glad you're ok, Gaara. I'm so sorry..."
Gaara interrupted Sasuke's apology with a kiss. It was fierce and brief,and Gaara pulled away after a moment. "Stop apologizing." Gaara whispered. "There's nothing to forgive." He kissed him again, lips brushing against Sasuke's. Softly at first, then his tongue pressed forward.
Sasuke ran his tongue along Gaara's, trying to dominate his way back into Gaara's mouth. But apparently Gaara wasn't willing to be uke this time. He lifted one hand and ran it over Sasuke's chest, pushing him back on the bed.
Gaara shifted so he was lying on top of Sasuke, still not breaking the kiss. They broke apart for a moment, panting. Sasuke looked up at Gaara, and saw the smirk on the redhead's face. He mirrored the expression and flipped them forcefully so he was on top, then resumed the kiss.
Gaara, resigned to defeat, allowed Sasuke's tongue entrance into his mouth. He didn't entirely regret it, for Sasuke was doing something that caused him enough pleasure to temporarily hand over control. Sasuke ran the tip of his tongue across the roof of Gaara's mouth, then pushed back, gently caressing the inside of his mouth.
Meanwhile, he ran one hand under Gaara's waist and the other beneath his shirt. He removed his lips from Gaara's and started trailing kisses down his neck. Sucking on the skin of his collarbone, he began teasing Gaara's nipples into hardness.
Gaara felt something pressing into his hip, and he had no doubt what it was. His own arousal was starting to get painfully obvious, and a ripple of pleasure shot through his body as Sasuke bit down gently on his shoulder. After a few moments, Gaara suddenly stopped.
"Sasuke," He whispered. Sasuke looked up at him. "I...I'm not ready for this."
Sasuke blinked. "Oh god...I'm so sorry..." He murmured, standing up. He ran his hand back through his hair. "I should be arrested."
Gaara smiled. "No, I mean...I'm just...not fully healed yet..." He said.
Sasuke's mouth formed the 'O' shape, and he nodded. "That's ok, I understand." He sat back down next to Gaara and kissed him tenderly, then mirrored his smile. "You want to go to bed?" He asked him.
"Yeah, i'm really tired." Gaara said, leaning back on his pillows. Sasuke nodded and left.
"Night, Gaara." Sasuke said.
"Goodnight, Sasuke." Gaara whispered.
Sasuke quietly shut the door to Gaara's room, then glanced down at the tent in his pants. He bit his lower lip. He'd never push Gaara to do something he didn't want to do, but right now...
He walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower, stripping and leaving his clothes in a pile on the tiled floor. He stepped into the jet of warm water, then leaned against the wall. He looked down and smiled bitterly. "Better take care of this," He muttered, then reached down and began stroking his cock.
He began pumping harder and faster until the pulsing arousal was nearly painful. He tilted his head back, cock throbbing. Gaara's face was clear in his mind as he came, then he sighed with relief, breathing heavily.
He finished his shower and turned off the hot water. After gathering his dirty clothes and tossing them into the washer, he wrapped a towel around his waist, touseling his hair in an attempt to dry it.
As he walked towards his room, he paused outside Gaara's. The light was off and Gaara lay on top of the blankets, having been too tired even to get under them. Sasuke smiled faintly and walked quietly into the room, tucking a blanket around Gaara's shoulders. He kissed his forehead lovingly, then his lips, pushing back some of the hair from his eyes.
He turned and started to leave the room, then paused in the doorway. "Welcome home, Gaara." He whispered, then shut the door.
