Disclaimer: I Don't Own Naruto

10. A Night with Naruto

It was 9:30pm. Naruto yawned.

"Gaara, if you don't mind I'm going to bed, if you want to..," he hesitated remembering that Gaara didn't sleep as a kid, "...if you want something or lonely just get me."

"Would it be alright if I just stayed in your room tonight, there isn't much to do when everyone is asleep and I'm sure you only have one bedroom," replied Gaara.

Naruto looked at him and smiled, "Sure you can hang in my room tonight, just try not to make a lot of noise while I try getting some sleep, just give me a minute to change into my night shirt and I'll come back and get you."

Gaara nodded and waited on the couch for Naruto to change. Naruto walked into the living room and brought him (Gaara) to his (Naruto) room.

"I'll be right back again," said Naruto, he walked out the room.

Gaara could hear Naruto fumbling with stuff in his closet, this went on for about a minute, then he heard the closet door shut and Naruto came in holding something rather large.

"It's a beanbag chair, I figured it would be a perfect seat for you to sit in since I don't have any "comfy" seats in my room," said Naruto who was setting down the chair beside his bed.

Gaara walked over to the chair and hesitated for a moment but then sat himself in a comfortable position. When Naruto realized he might get board, he looked around his room until he found what he was looking for.

"You may not like any of the music on here but just press the bottom button to play and pause, the left and right buttons to change songs, and the top button to turn it on and off," said Naruto as he handed Gaara the mp3 player and headphones, "Well, goodnight Gaara-kun."

Naruto got in his bed and fell asleep quickly.

-1:00 in the morning-

"Naruto-san," said Gaara as he tried shaking Naruto awake since he couldn't climb up on the bed.

Gaara looked over and saw that he could probably climb the post at the end of the bed. He tried, and got up on the bed. He crept to the front of the bed and started shaking Naruto again. Naruto's eyes slowly opened, he looked at Gaara and sat up.

"You ok Gaara," asked Naruto in a worried voice.

He nodded, "But, I'm thirsty, might you get me a drink please?"

"Sure," said Naruto drowsily.

"Water please," said Gaara happily. I'm glad he didn't get mad.

Naruto got out of bed and picked up Gaara. Naruto walked in the kitchen and set Gaara down on the counter, then went to look for a cup to put water in. Once he found one he opened the fridge and got out the water, he set the glass on the counter next to Gaara and poured water into it.

"Here you are Gaara," said Naruto, who was rubbing his bedhead.

Gaara finished the glass quickly and handed it back, "Thanks Naruto."

"No problem," replied Naruto

Naruto quickly washed the glass and set it to dry. Then he picked up Gaara and walked back into his room. Naruto just sat on his bed with Gaara in his lap for a few minutes.

"Do you want to go back to bed," asked Gaara.

"Nah I'm fine," Naruto replied.

Gaara nodded and then climbed down and got in his beanbag.
