Chapter 10: Forget me

In the morning Gaara went down stairs to get his breakfast. To his luck Temari, Kankuro and him had breakfast together. In a way it made him feel happy, it had been such a long time that they all got time together in the morning. Temari asked Gaara how his first day at school had been; he didn't want to worry her so he said that it had been good. Kankuro looked over at him with a worried look as he spoke. Yet, Gaara knew better to ever Tell Temari, maybe he would be able to later on he only hoped he could and that she would accept him. They ate talking about how their first day in the new city was. Kankuro really didn't have much to say, seeing as how he used to come over plenty of times. The reason of why, Temari had no idea. Gaara seemed to, even if Kankuro never did officially say it to him. Someone had caught his interest, he always was excited when he came over and would do whatever he could to stay longer to come earlier. Gaaras best guess was the he spend the whole day with that person yesterday. Even if Kankuro never said anything Gaara wished him luck in his quest.
Once they wished Temari washed their dished while Gaara went up stairs to get ready. First he thanked her for a delicious breakfast, which made her giggle and blush. She's too much like a mother. Gaara said as he looked for his clothes. In reality he didn't care that he had no parents, Temari and Kankuro were enough for him, and they were his parents more than brother and sister. Even if at first they weren't like that, but Gaara could care less about that now. All of what they had done was more than enough to make up for those things. Plus, they both seemed to be regretting that they had acted cruel to him before. Yet, they were far for, being a perfect Family for all of them there was still that reminder of what it was before and the memories never faded. The best thing they had done was gotten way from their father. This was their new start; they could finally be that perfect family. Gaara was probably the most excited out of the three but he would never show it to anyone.
As Gaara got ready something told him that this was going to be a good day. Looking over at his clothes, it was the first time he found it hard to find clothes. Usually he would wear random clothes he grabbed, but he couldn't this day. He wanted to go dress right. I feel like a damn girl. I guess this is how they feel. Gaara chuckled, it was true. He felt as if he was going on a date that he couldn't choose. Gaara shook his head, he could ask Temari to help him or Kankuro. But he knew that both of them would think that he was going to met someone, or trying to impress someone. That was something he didn't want happening. In the end Gaara decided to take his Black denim jeans with camel seam lines along with his checked grey shirt. Not the best, but this will do. Gaara shrugged as he went over to the bathroom to change. Just as he was almost done, Gaara looked at the mirror to fix his hair.
What?!? Gaara noticed that he had red on his neck, what was that he asked himself. Maybe it was only a rash, thinking that he paid no attention to it. Gaara shook his head and went out of the bathroom, as he reached for this school bag he heard a knock on the door. "Come in." Gaara said as he pulled up his bag. Kankuro opened the door and rather than going inside he stayed by the door. Leaning on it he looked at Gaara closely, with a small smile. "What is it?" Gaara looked at him slightly confused at why he was receiving such a face.
"Nothing, I'm just wondering why my little brother is going so dressed up to school; Almost as if he's going on a date." Kankuro chuckled as Gaara send him a glare.
"Don't talk of such things. I just grabbed random clothes, but other than that. You must have had another reason to come over. What is that?"
"I just have a question for you, Temari was wondering the same thing."
"What?"
"Other than the Naruto thing, did something else happen?" Kankuro raised an eyebrow; Gaara couldn't have left something out, could he? Gaara on the other hand seemed to be in shock about the question. Why had Temari been wondering the same things as well? Neither he nor Kankuro said a thing about Narutos kiss.
"No, why?"
"Then I doubt you can give yourself such a mark" Kankuro smiled, leading his eyes over to Gaaras neck. He had been stupid enough to miss that the other day; only in the morning did he notice that. And now Temari was wondering if Gaara had already gotten someone.
"What are you talking about? What mark? I need to go to school." Gaara said as he began to head towards the door where Kankuro was.
"Have you looked in the mirror?"
"Yes, now excuse me. I'll be late."
"You have a hickie." Kankuro smiled as he noticed Gaara stop on his tracks.
"What are you saying? this is only a rash!" Gaara stopped in front of Kankuro, whose smile wouldn't fade away.
"No, that's a hickie. Not a rash, rashes are way different that this." Kankuro followed as Gaara walked over to the bathroom to look at his neck. Kankuro leaned on the wall, as Gaara stayed in shocked.
No, Gaara couldn't believe it. It had to be a rash. There was no way he would accept that Naruto left something like that on him.
"So? Who was the person that left it?" Kankuro asked as he raised an eyebrow, while Gaara turned to look at him, while covering his neck.
"How can I take this off? I can't go to school like that! I can't let anyone see this! No one!!!" Gaara rather than demanding he was more like pleading for Kankuro to help him.
"Sorry little man, we can't take it off. You have to go like that." Kankuro knew that was a lie but Gaara hadn't answered his question. He needed to do a bit of pay back on him.
"No, there has to be something. I'll go with a scarf then!" Gaara went over to the closet to grab a scarf. As he grabbed on, he noticed that it would ruin his outfit. He wanted to cover it, but didn't want to ruin the way he looked either.
"Gaara let it go. You're already going to be late if we don't head out right now. And no, you're not missing school today." Kankuro smirked as he went out of Gaaras room and went downstairs to grab the car keys. Gaara stayed in his room for a couple of seconds wondering if he should take it or not. In the end when he heard a honk he left the scarf thrown and ran down stairs. I'll get him for this. Gaara cursed Naruto under his breath as he got into the car, still covering his neck.
"So, are you going to tell me who left that or not?" Kankuro finally asked as they pulled out of the driveway, and waved their goodbyes to Temari, who was going off to work as well.
Gaara didn't want to say more than what he already had yesterday. It was bad enough he told Kankuro he kissed Naruto. Now having to say that Naruto kissed his neck as well was worse. "I don't want too." Gaara said in a whisper.
"Alright, but Temari was wondering the same, what should I tell her."
"That I didn't want to tell you anything. It's the truth."
"I suppose, but still can't you tell me at least. I won't tell her or anyone else. Trust me."
"I want too, but I don't want to say who. It's too embarrassing." Hearing this Kankuro chuckled, seeing the redness in Gaaras face; he really did seem cute there. Even so, Kankuro didn't get why Gaara had to be embarrassed about telling him. He already told him about the kiss he shared with Naruto, what's so bad about a kisses on the neck. Thinking about it the way to the school, as the got closer he noticed the Naruto guy crossing the street. He looked over at Gaara who seemed to have noticed as well. Gaara placed his hand over his neck once again and slid down the seat. Oh, so that's the person. Kankuro smiled to himself as the light changed and he went into the parking lot. Stopping the car he looked over at Gaara and smiled. Gaara looked over at him to say bye and thanks as he noticed the smile.
"What?" Gaara asked as he opened the door.
"Nothing. Just have a good day." Kankuros smile widened.
"Thanks. You two." Gaara began to get out. As he did Kankuro turned on the car once again. Just as he was about to close the door Kankuro spoke.
"Say hi to Naruto for me." Kankuro chuckled and Gaara slammed the door shut.
"Bastard." He called him under his breathe; he must have known the person was Naruto. Why else would he say that? Gaara headed towards the inside of the school, as he noticed Naruto. Crap. Gaara stopped, and began to walk slower in hopes that Naruto wouldn't notice him and just go inside. To his luck Sasuke had stopped Naruto so they could talk. Gaara had no choice but to keep walking towards the entrance. Naruto probably wouldn't say anything since he was talking to Sasuke.

Naruto had forgotten all about the ice during the night, thanks to Iruka and Kakashi. In the morning he found it as if he had just gotten it, great now he had to go to school like that. There no doubt that someone would ask him about it. Thankfully he hadn't seen anyone he knew on his way over to the school. Almost making it safe to his first, Sasuke had spotted him. Fuck man! Naruto cursed as he smiled and waved at him. Naruto tried to keep walking but Sasuke got to him keeping him for walking too far.

Sasukes day was sure to be a great one, he had planned to make it great himself. Yesterday was good but today needed to be better, no matter what. As he walked to school he began to plan out on what he would do. They did plan to go out after school that meant during school he needed to do his best to keep things right. Their date wasn't about to be ruined by anyone, that he would make sure himself. Smiling to himself, he looked for any of the two idiots. As he saw Naruto his smile just got wider, Idiot one: caught. Sasuke went over to him quickly. It seemed more than anything that Naruto was trying to get away, buy he wouldn't have any of it.

"Yo! How's it going?" Sasuke asked as he raised his hand at Naruto, who only smiled.
"Good so far, I guess."
"You still up to tonight?"
"Of course! Just make sure to ask that other guy. I brought the money, you brought some right?" Naruto smiled as he patted his jeans pocket.
"Yeah…" Sasuke looked at Naruto and noticed his cheek. Must be from Gaara. Sasuke chuckled, winning him a confused look for Naruto.
"What's so funny idiot?" Naruto finally asked, wanting to get the joke that Sasuke was laughing about.
"Nothing. How you get that on your cheek?" Naruto was taken back by the question as he took a step back. Forcing a smile on his face he placed his hand behind his head as well.
"What? This, it's nothing just hit myself in the morning." Naruto gave a nervous smile, which caused Sasuke to raise an eyebrow.
"Looks more like a slap than anything else."
"No, no. That's crazy! I just hit myself."
"Nope, it has slap written all over it."
"Nah, you're crazy." Naruto kept giving his nervous laugh. Sasuke looked out of the corner of his eyes and smiled. Idiot number two in sight.

Gaara was getting closed to him, yet he was still unable to listen to their conversation. Not that he was even interested in it in the first place. It just seemed to be putting Naruto on the spot that was all. As he got closer he managed to hear Sasukes chuckle.
"It does look like one… Oi, Gaara come over here." Sasuke called out to him, making Gaara and Naruto both go stiff for a second. Just ignore. Both men said, it was exactly what Gaara was going to do. He kept walking, planning to go pass them without even turning to see them. As he kept walking and almost getting away he felt someone pull his arm. "I was talking to you," Sasuke pulled him to them, while Gaara along with Naruto cursed at Sasuke.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you." Gaara finally said, as Sasuke smiled. Thank god he had no idea what was going on. If he did it would have been more awkward. Even so, Gaara felt nervous knowing that the first person that began talking to him just had to be Narutos best friend.
"It's alright. I was just telling Naruto that he got slapped." Sasuke chuckled, leaving the two still stiff, only looking at him.
"Does he say he got slapped?"
"No he keeps saying he got it in the morning." Sasuke by that time looked at Gaara, while Naruto prayed that Gaara would just leave.
"Then he got hurt, I suppose."
"That's not possible, look at him. It says slap all over his face." Sasuke then couldn't stop laughing as he noticed the expression both of them had on their faces, it was completely priceless. Gaara didn't want to face him; all he wanted was to leave. Yet, he didn't want Sasuke to think it was him that slapped Naruto. With that in mind he had no choice but to finally turn to face Naruto. Just as their eyes met, none could even move a finger. Indeed it was awkward between them.
"It does right?" Sasuke finally broke the ice, getting the idea that if he didn't speak they could stay like that the whole day. Gaara took a quick look at Narutos cheek; it was true that it said a slap. I left that? Gaara asked himself as all he could do was give a small nod.
"What you do Naruto?" Sasuke asked as Naruto gave a nervous laugh.
"I'm telling you it's not a slap. I just hit my self." Forcing a smile Naruto would keep insisting that it was his fault.
"No, how you take advantage off that they had to stop you in that way." Sasuke chuckled, as Gaara stole a glance at Naruto.
"That's bull shit! They're the one that said we were going out. Out of the blue!" Just as Naruto finished he covered his mouth. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Idiot! Naruto kept cursing at himself as he looked over at Gaara who was in shock that he had actually said it. Sasuke stopped laughing as he looked at Naruto with a straight face. You really are an idiot. Sasuke smirked as he placed his arm around Narutos neck.
"Then what happened?" Smirking Sasuke looked at Gaara who was lost in words. At the moment Gaara felt like running away, why couldn't he just keep his mouth shut? Plus he had done with doing him a favor, it's not like he meant it. Now what was Naruto going to say? Gaara had to find a way to stop making him self stay quiet; if he did Sasuke might start to get suspicion at the behavior between them. He needed to keep with the way he was talking yesterday. Thinking about it he could get his answer without even really making it obvious. Turning to face Naruto, Gaara gave a smirk.
"And what? You took advantage of that?" Hearing that Naruto looked over at Gaara at the same time Sasuke did. Both had a shocked look on their faces that Gaara actually had said something. Yet Naruto couldn't help but feel slightly angry at him for even opening his mouth.
"Not that I wanted to. The bastard said things without even thinking of what might happen." Naruto snapped back, causing Gaara to be taken back by the comment. Sasuke on the other hand leaned by wall, knowing very well that he would soon be forgotten about; and the conversation would get a whole lot better. After wards it would be Gaaras turn to be picked on. That gift Naruto had left him, hadn't gone unnoticed by Sasuke; in fact it made his plan a whole lot better
"But still, you ended up taking advantage, I'm right." Gaara looked at him serious, telling Naruto that he never even wanted that to happen between them.
"I wouldn't have if words didn't convince the other party."
"A slap is a slap. The person you took advantage of didn't want you touching them. They could be feeling disgusted having to know you touched them." Gaara smirked as he saw Narutos expression. Naruto was pissed about the way Gaara said it, Sasuke was more than Sure Gaara was lying about that. With the way he acted he seemed to feel the opposite, not that he would say. In fact everything was rather interesting to him.
Naruto couldn't speak, he really felt like walking away but if he did Gaara would think he won and that was something he didn't want happening. Instead why not throw something in his face that would make him unable to speak as well.
"It could be, but by the way the returned the kiss I doubt it. It might just be that they enjoyed it, but won't admit it. You don't think a person that doesn't like something goes along with it." After that Sasuke felt that he needed to say something, if not one of them might start to think he already knew.
"What!? You kissed someone Naru?" Sasuke did his best to sound surprised. "What girl was it?" Sasuke smiled. Naruto on the other hand didn't know whether to say it was a girl, or not. A part of him felt as if he would be offending Gaara by saying it was a girl. Why should I care what he feels? Naruto was about to speak when he heard Gaara speak before him.

"You're crazy; I doubt a girl would want to kiss someone like this guy." Gaara looked over at Sasuke for a second them giving Naruto a smirk. Naruto looked at Gaara and then at Sasuke. Sasuke was sure finding it funny, that was not a good thing he would sure use that against him soon enough. He needed to do something about that comment Gaara had just done, if not he could kiss his life away.
"Could be true… but it seems guys want to kiss me as well." Naruto smiled, causing Gaara to give out a small blush. Got you. Naruto high fived himself, looking at Gaara face, while Sasuke only let out a chuckle. It was his turn to talk now.
"Are we done yet? I don't like being caught in between lovers' fights." Sasuke smirked and began to walk away from the two blushing idiots, as he called them.
"No guy would want to kiss you. I was forced." Gaara whispered as he pushed passed Naruto and began to catch up to Sasuke.
As Gaara passed, Naruto just managed to see the hickie he had left on him. Seeing that only caused him to give a small smile. Yet, having Gaara say that got him pissed off; seconds later Naruto began to go after the two. As he caught up to Gaara he smirked. Naruto walked behind him then next to him. He knew exactly what to say to piss Gaara off.
"But you were the one enjoying it the most." Naruto whispered it, before Gaara could say anything he speed off and walked next to Sasuke.

"You know, you guys made it seem like if you two were the ones to kiss." Sasuke said once the two were walking with him. He noticed that the two had stopped for less than a seconds before walking once again. "I would take it as if Gaara slapped you." Sasuke added once again, this time with a bit of laughter. Gaara looked over at Naruto, as well as Naruto. Both locked eyes for a second before Gaara turned away, sure that he would blush if he kept looking over at Naruto. Naruto on the other had only remembered about the kiss they had shared. The three went in silence until they reached the class room. "See you guys afterwards." Sasuke Waved at them and went over to his seat.

"Sasuke…" Gaara called out to him. Naruto looked over at Gaara, why was he calling Sasuke over? No, since when did Gaara use such a different voice with Sasuke? They didn't even know each other for along time and yet he changed his voice completely with him? That wasn't right, hearing his voice changed when he talked to someone else made him feel as if he had just been kicked in the stomach. Sasuke looked over at Gaara then at Naruto. Jealous, are we? Sasuke smirked and went over to Gaara, and then he placed his arm around Gaaras shoulder.
"What is it?" Sasuke said in a gently voice, as he noticed Gaara didn't mind the arm.
"Can you do me a favor?" This time Gaara said in a whisper, he didn't want Naruto to hear him.
"It depends on what it is. If I can't I'll see what I can do." Sasuke gave him a reassuring smile; and looked over at Naruto who had gone to his seat already.
"Switch seat with Naruto. I really can't stand him." Even if Gaara wanted to believe that himself, a part of him refused to say it was true. On the other hand he still felt awkward around Naruto.
"I would, but you see there's this person there that I need to talk to today. If it was another day I would." Even if it was a lie, Sasuke was not about to pull those two apart, they would have to deal with each other.
"Come on. I can't deal with the bastard; He's too much of an idiot and just pisses me off. You know that."
"Yeah I do, I wish I could do that. I'll make it up for you. Today after school me and some friends are going to hang out. Come with us."
"No it's okay. I didn't bring money."
"Don't worry about. One of my friends offered to pay for you. He won't mind; he already brought the money anyways." Sasuke smiled once again as he removed his arm around Gaara and began to walk towards his seat. "Sorry."

Gaara cursed under his breathe as he went over to his seat. He couldn't help but steal a glance at Naruto. He looked more than angry, what's wrong with him? Did something happen to him while he was talking to Sasuke? Seeing him like that, it didn't really make him happy about it either. He tried his best to not say anything to him as the class started. Even so Gaara couldn't help but look at him at times to see if he was still mad.

In fact Naruto tried his best to not even tell anything to Gaara, he had every right to talk to Sasuke in whatever way he wanted to. But it just didn't feel right. Naruto paid no attention to what Iruka was talking about; all his mind was thinking about was on why he felt that way. Half through the class he looked over at Gaara. His eyes went back to his neck, looking for at the hickie he had left. Seeing that it made him smile and forget about the feeling. Gaara over at him, just had he had turned away with his smile.
He couldn't help but think that Naruto looked much better smiling than being angry. Seeing that Gaara let out a sigh of relief as he began to pay attention to Iruka once again. Hearing the sigh Naruto turned over at Gaara, still with his head down Naruto smirked seeing a small smile appear on Gaaras face. Cute indeed.

First period after that went normal, both men had been relieved and went on trying their best to ignore each other. When they got to Asumas class they had to seat together once again. To their luck he told them to work on their so called project once again. Kiba, who had showed up had to work with Sai. Both Naruto and Gaara felt weird seeing Sai after what had happened, and almost didn't talk to each other. All the while Sai only smiled at the two everyone once in a while.
