Title: Dance

Chapter 10: Weekend

It was hard to believe Gaara and I had been dating a little under a month, it seemed like so much longer then that. Though I guess when you spend 96 percent of your time with a person you kind of forget what it was like to not be with said person. I had fallen into a routine with my red head. Each school day we would get to arrive at school a few minutes before class started, he'd walk me to my class then we'd meet again at my locker to go to lunch our group included Gaara, Shikamaru, Kiba and myself. Most days we ate outside when it rained we would sit near the large glass windows and try to eat in peace. Sasuke and the others hadn't been coming around so much and though Gaara had lost some of his popularity he still had his fan club, though it bothered me when they acted like I wasn't there while I stood by his side. After staying the night at Gaara's a few things changed, Gaara stayed at my house between 4-5 days a week, then I stayed at his house the other 2-3. Most nights we wouldn't sleep in the same bed though on a few occasions we'd fall asleep in the same bed after a movie went off or a few rounds of Guitar Hero. Another thing that happened was Kiba and Kankuro started dating about a week after the 'party'. The noises I heard that night still haunt my mind. Gaara had been ready to go tell them to shut up, but I had stopped him. At least someone was getting some.

I love the relationship I have with Gaara, but it seems he doesn't have the same sexual draw to me as I have to him. We've had a few kisses and thats pretty much it. Every now and then we will embrace in a hug, the feeling is strange to me and it usually ends quickly. I'm waiting for Gaara now at my locker, he is usually the first one here but today it seems he is running behind. I smile as I see his red hair and green eyes coming my way. He was beautiful, his looks so different from anyone else. It suited him well, he wasn't like everyone else.

We started for his car and I chatted about my last class, then started talking about History class and how Iruka had yelled at Shikamaru for falling asleep yet again in his class. Gaara listened and muttered what else was new. I gave a smile. Tonight it seemed we would be staying at his home. I liked Gaara's place it was big, but it seemed so lonely. I'd never stay there by my self, and I'm glad he no longer has to stay there by himself. He seems to be talking more now, I think its because he's getting more sleep. Spending so much time with Gaara has let me see that he reads, writes, and for my major enjoyment he works out everyday for at least an hour, I workout three times a week, but since being with him I've taken to working out with him. There is a gym in the apartments and thats were we are headed right now.

I watch as Gaaras abs contract as he does sit ups, the shirt he has worn was now discarded as no one else was around. I love looking over his torso. I've started to keep my eyes where they want to go even if he is watching me, he seems not to care as he doesn't say anything to me about this, I have caught him staring at me as well, though he always has continued to stare where he wishes.

Gaara seems cold and distant to most people, but once you get to really know him you can tell what he's trying to hide and what he's showing are different. When he's upset his shoulders drop and his eyes grow a bit darker, when confused his head tilts slightly to either side and his lips pout lightly as he thinks, a slight wrinkle between his eyes, when he's happy he tries not to look me in the eyes and he smiles when its just us. I love my Gaara, even if the relationship isn't everything I want its all I need for now.

We've been walking back to his place and once inside he lets me take a shower first then does so himself. I've grown use to his actions, holding doors open for me, carrying my books as he walks me to class, at first I had hated the things he did but now I know he does them to show he cares. Gaara sits on the bed beside me, his hair sticking to his face and water drops still on his chest. "Naruto, I have to stay the weekend with Temari, you are welcome to stay here if you want." He tells me as he looks me in the eyes.

"Naw, I'll be fine at home." I tell him, I think my uncle will be coming back this weekend anyways and I had a lot to tell him. I had though wanted Gaara to meet him. I guess there will be other times.

"I'll give you a key, encase you change your mind." He tells me and lays down, I lay down as well and he closes his eyes as I question him.

"Is something wrong? They usually come here." I had seen Temari three times since we first met and Kankuro twice.

"No." He replies and I sigh knowing he isn't going to tell me the reason why. He leans over and kisses me lightly on the lips, I return the gesture and then he pulls away, I was disappointed it was never enough to just give a small kiss.

Gaara doesn't ask stupid questions like I do, he always has a point when asking something so at deep questions that he asks I'm always a bit taken back. "What do you think of me?" He asks and I blinked trying to find the reason why he asked.

Tons of words fluttered to mind but I knew he wanted more then just pretty words, so I thought a moment while he waited patiently for my reply. "I know you are someone precious to me. I don't know how I could get along without you. I believe you have a troubled past and this is why you don't like to get close to people, you don't want to get hurt again. Though you try not to voice it I now you are a caring person." I tell him this and wait to see if it was enough. He looks at me again and leans down kissing me once more, only this time he places his tongue in my mouth. I guess my answer was good enough as it was. My arms wrapped around his shoulders and his rested on my chest. We broke apart and he laid his head on my chest, my heart was beating fast and I knew he had to hear it, this caused me to blush.

Some people say a month isn't long enough to fall in love with someone. I believe they just haven't found the right person. It had taken me a day to realize I loved him and yet I still wasn't ready to tell him this information. I knew the information and if he didn't guess it by now then he wasn't as smart as everyone gave him credit for.

Gaara fell asleep quickly and I tried to let him, but I wasn't tired and there wasn't much to do as I laid with him on my chest, so I stared at the celling and watched the fan spin round and round. My thoughts were else where when I heard my name whispered in Gaara's sleep. I smiled and looked down at the red head. I never minded him sleeping on me, it was the only time his guard was done completely so I let my hands smooth his hair, gently moving over his love tattoo and tracing it with a finger as my other hand messaged his head, I still wasn't very tired. There wasn't anything to do though so I soon closed my eyes and tried to get some sleep. A hour passed before I actually fell into a light sleep.

There he was, watching me as I watched him. I knew who he was. I remembered him, and how much I hated him. The marks on his face, similar to my own, the blood that dripped from him hands made me grimace. The body on the floor took my breath away as I noticed the red hair and pale skin that could only belong to Gaara. I moved to attack him, but I tripped over something and landed in the blood. When I looked to see what had tripped me it was the body, Gaara's body was at my feet, the blood was on my hands...

I awoke with a gasp and sat up, knocking Gaara off my chest. He woke sharply and gave me a consirned look as I took a few deep breaths. I had this dream countless times. I know I fear being like him. I fear the words are true. I fear I will become like him and the one before him. I looked at Gaara's face as it comes closer to me, he kisses me lightly pushing me back down.

"It was only a dream" He stated as he laid back down on me, one of his arms now wrapped around me and his fingers tracing circles on my arm.

"I know." I manage to breath out and then relax some as the fingers on my arm make me tired once more. How could I sleep after that though. Gaara seemed to be awake as he wasn't so heavy on my chest as before.

He spoke too me changing the subject. "The dance is in a week, do you want to get our clothes together?" He hadn't said anything about the dance since I said yes, so it was surprising that he asked me and at this time of night.

"Sure." I yawned and petted his head, he tensed and then relaxed. It was the first time I had ventured to do such a thing while he was awake, he seemed to relax as if he knew I did it a lot.

"That's comforting." He informed me and I smiled. I wonder if he hadn't known I did it all the time and just thought I'd thought it up right then. Gaara was hard to read at times.

"Where should we get our clothes?" I asked. I had never been to a dance before, I didn't know how formal this one was if I'd need dress clothes or just something semi nice.

"I don't know." He stated and thought a moment. "I'll ask Temari tomorrow."

I smiled at this, he hardly ever asked for help from anyone. That would make Temari's day knowing her brother needed her. Gaara could be very cruel to his siblings at times. I had noticed it when Kankuro made a joke and ended up with a black eye, Temari had ended up shutting herself in the guest room not being able to cope with the two.

A/N: Next chapter I believe will be funny as hell to give you an idea of what it holds – Sexual Education. Learning how to dance. Buying sexual stuff. XD hope you enjoyed this and enjoy the next chapter. Sorry for no updates yesterday, I was tired. Hope to make it up to you with two – three chapters tonight and maybe a few tomorrow day time.
