Chapter 9
The drive to Lee's house was silent, neither boy knowing what to say. Finally, Lee pulled into the driveway of a small white house and stopped the car. "Well," he said. "here we are." They walked to the front door and Lee unlocked it. "Just make yourself at home." Lee said switching on lights as he walked.
"Alright." Gaara replied. He had never been to a friends house before, so he didn't know what he should do. Should I just stand here? Should I sit somewhere? He decided on standing. "Are these of you?" Gaara gestured to the old school pictures hanging on the wall. He was tired of the awkward silence and tried starting a conversation.
"Yes. I don't have anything else to hang, and they take up space, so I figured they should go there." Lee said. "So... What do you want to do"
Gaara shrugged.
"Well, we could talk, if you are hungry or thirsty I can get you something, we can watch a movie, or we could just go to sleep. You can have my bed, I will sleep on the couch."
"No. You don't have to do that. The couch is fine for me. I would probably fit better anyway." Gaara insisted.
"Alright. If you are sure." Lee went to a closet and pulled out a sheet, a pillow, and a blanket. He set up a makeshift bed on the fluffy couch. "So what do you want do?"
Gaara thought for a minute. "Watch a movie?" he asked.
"What a great decision!" Lee said. "Before we choose we should cha-" Lee cut himself off. "Oh no! Gaara! You do not have pajamas! I did not even think about that!" Lee and rushed off. He came back a minute later and saw Gaara sitting on the couch looking towards the doorway. "I am sorry. These are the smallest clothes I could find." Lee said. Gaara stood up and took them and was escorted to the bathroom. Before he left, Lee fished around under the sink and handed Gaara a new toothbrush. After pointing everything out, he left and closed the door behind him. Gaara changed into the drawstring sweat pants and baggy T-shirt that Lee had given him. They were rather big, but they would work. He washed face and brushed his teeth. After he finished, he folded his clothes and left the bathroom.
Gaara found Lee in the living room at a shelf, looking at movies. He was in his own pajamas, simple blue and white vertical striped pajamas with a button up pajama shirt.
Lee turned to Gaara. "You can put your clothes on that table." Lee said pointing to a small table next to the doorway with only a single plant on it. "What movie do you want to watch?" Lee asked. Gaara walked over and scanned the movies. After a moment of thought, He pointed to The Goonies.
"How about this one?" He asked Lee
"Have you ever watched it?" Lee asked. Gaara shook his head no. "It is a great movie." Lee said. He inserted the disk into his DVD player and turned on the television. He led Gaara to the couch. "I will be right back." Lee said. About five minutes later, Lee returned with a bowl of popcorn and settled it between them on the couch. He pressed play.
They sat in silence watching the movie. A little ways in, Gaara slid over towards Lee his head on his shoulder, the popcorn bowl now sitting on both their legs. Lee;s head was tilted slightly so that his head was resting on Gaara's soft hair. Their heads were entwined between them behind the popcorn bowl. They finished the movie, and Lee shut off the television. The room was slightly illuminated by a dim light.
"Gaara?" Lee asked.
"Hn?" Gaara signaled that his attention was on Lee.
"Will... will you be my boyfriend?" Lee asked him.
Gaara sat up and looked at him. He couldn't fight the small smile that graced his lips. "Only if you'll be mine." Gaara said. lee grinned at Gaara, and he couldn't help but smile more.
"You have a wonderful smile Gaara." Lee said.
"It's just for you, Lee." Gaara said. Lee hugged him tightly to his chest, and Gaara melted into the warmth of the embrace.
Authors Note: I'm sorry. I HAD to make Gaara a sap. I just Though it would be cute. I know that is so out of character for him, but hey, a girl can dream right? Thank you for your patience. I will try to get the next chapter up by tomorrow afternoon. Remember to review. And just a warning, Either chapter 10 or 11 will have lemon. Don't say I didn't warn you. Remember to review!
