Chapter 10: Embarrassed Beyond Comparison

"Ow…" my head hurts… I grunted. My eyes were closed but I felt something under me…it felt like…a person!

I opened my eyes alertly, ignoring the pain in my head. GAARA! I was on top of him! He was still sleeping but…omg…what was I doing on top of him! I jumped off of him and saw that it was late Sunday morning. I recalled the events of yesterday up to the drinking of the sake.

"I'm going to kill Kankuro!" I said under my breath.

"Ugh…" I heard Gaara mumble. I held my breath and shook him awake.

"What the hell do you want?" he grunted again, clearly not knowing it was I, Kusota.

He opened his eyes, clutching his head. "What the hell are you doing here?" he said, with a trace of anger in his voice.

"I...Um…" I couldn't finish my sentence since the door was thrown open and Kankuro shouted,

"YOU GUYS WERE SLEEPING TOGETHER!"

Gaara didn't believe his older brother. He thought back while still clutching his head. His eyes opened wide and he jumped up and grabbed Kankuro's throat.

"Gaara! Stop!" I yelled. Gaara released his brother and ran to the bathroom. Gaara was throwing up. Kankuro laughed a bit and I looked at him angrily.

"Why did you do that!" I asked him.

He smiled at me, not teasingly but hopefully.

"I hope that Gaara will finally experience something he's been deprived of all his life." He said calmly.

"What the hell does that supposed to mean?" I said, still angry.

Kankuro didn't answer my question. He walked off and closed the door…carefully…. quietly. Gaara was still in the bathroom. He was leaning against the wall, paler than he was. I rushed over to him and asked,

"Are you ok Gaara? You don't look well."

"I'm…okay…let go of me." He said coldly. I then realized I was holding onto his arm. I released it immediately. My head was full of pain but I didn't have a bad hangover as Gaara did. Temari had scolded Kankuro and gave Gaara and I some medicine.

"Take care of Gaara, ok? Kankuro and I have to go to work." Temari said.

I nodded and sat on Gaara's bed, next to him. Gaara was lying down with his eyes closed. I blushed when I looked at him and thought about how I woke up on him this morning. I wondered if he…totally despised the fact I kind of slept with him.

"Gaara…" I whispered. I wanted to see if he was awake.

"What?…" asked a tired, grouchy Gaara.

"Nothing. I just wanted to see if you were awake." I said, making up an excuse. I stared at his face. In my opinion, it was perfect. He was the greatest friend I could ever wish for. I didn't mind that he was cold. I liked him that way. It made him unique.

The little color he had was returning to his face after a while. His face relaxed more, he seemed to be asleep. I scooted closer to him, just a little bit. A good hour passed and Gaara was still asleep. I had looked after him and stared at him for that hour. I smiled and got up. He didn't need me anymore so I began to get my bags…

"Ku…Kusota…" Gaara muttered.

I looked towards him but he was still asleep. He was sleep talking, I thought.

"Ku…Kusota…" again Gaara was muttering.

I dropped my bags and sat next to him, where I was before.

"Gaara…" I shook him awake.

He looked over to me with half closed eyes. He sat up straight and fully opened his eyes.

"Well you won't be needing me anymore" I said, smiling. I was about to leave his room but I turned back and faced him. I hugged him quickly and blushed when I said,

"Thank you for everything."

Gaara was frozen there. His face didn't certainly have an expression but his eyes were a bit wider. And for Gaara that means a lot. I picked my bags up and walked out. I walked to my home as quickly as I ever could with my bags.

Back at Gaara's Home

Gaara stood transfixed to where he was. Kusota had HUGGED him. No one ever hugged Gaara.

Back to Kusota

I ran inside my house as quickly as I could. I ran up the stairs and locked my door after me. I dumped the bags on my floor and laid face down on my bed.

I hugged him…
