Gaara woke to the sound of pounding on his door. He ignored it and covered his head with a pillow. Goodness knows what time it was, but he was sleeping gosh damn it! He swore quietly as the banging got louder and pressed the pillow into his head.
Green eyes widened and he screamed as a large weight suddenly jumped onto his back with a loud 'un!' and stayed there for a moment.
"Gaara-kun, are you awake, un?" the green eye twitched.
"Thanks to you…" he growled. Sitting up, he looked at the blond who was in hysterics. "What?"
"T-The bed, un!" he replied. Gaara looked down at his bed.
"What the fuck?!"
--
The auburn haired girl laughed. The brunet laughed. The blond giggled wildly, and the redhead smirked with a chuckle. The smallest boy glared fiercely … damn family.
"So, Gaara, was it Kiba or Neji?"
"Shut up, Temari."
"My little brother's growing up!"
"Zip it, Kankuro!"
"Aw, Gaara-kun's shy, un!"
"Deidara…"
"What's wrong, can't take the fact you want gay sex?"
Gaara threw a punch at his older cousin, blushing furiously. "Shut the hell up, asshole!" the elder easily diverted it and brought his knuckles up to the small boy's under arm, making the mini redhead cringe and hold his arm.
"Silly little cousin," Sasori started. "You have to learn, it's normal to want sex, it's a human desire," he said.
"I don't care!" Gaara shouted stomping to the door as the bell rang. He flung the door open to see Neji standing there, blinking with shock.
"Err…I was wondering if we were still jogging?" he tried. Gaara slammed the door, stormed up stairs, packed a bag and ran out the door, Neji at the gate.
"Wait- I'll do anything to get out this hell hole…" Neji watched Gaara storm passed him and stood in shock as he had a weight flung at him, latching onto his back.
"So, you're Hyuuga Neji, un?"
"Err…yes," Neji turned as the grip was loosened to see a blond man. He knew the other was a male, you realize these things when you have someone hugging you so tightly.
"AHA! I found him Sasori-danna!" Sasori came out. Neji could immediately tell that he was related to Gaara: the red hair, the short figure.
"Is something wrong?"
"We want to lock you in a basement and force you to have gay sex with my littlest cousin."
"O…kay…I'll be leaving now."
"No! Stay, un!" Deidara exclaimed, clinging onto his arm. Gaara growled and pushed Deidara off Neji, glaring at the older man.
"Get lost, Deidara," he said, grabbing Neji's wrist and starting out the gate. "We're going jogging."
"But what about the sheets? Cum's really hard to get off the fabric, un!" the two teens stopped in their path, faces flustered heavily, white eyes wide and green eyes shut tight in annoyance and embarrassment.
Deidara blocked the bag that was thrown at him and laughed, looping his arm into his boyfriends.
"I think that went well, un!"
"Yeah, me too. I can't wait to have lunch with them."
"Oh, we forgot to tell them about that one, un…"
"Oh well, they'll find out eventually."
--
Gaara sat on the bench and sighed before looking up at Neji, who looked baffled. Shaking his head, the pale hands ran through the red hair and he took in a large breath.
"Cousin and his boyfriend."
"Sasori and Deidara, right?"
"Yeah…do they bug you?"
"Deidara does from time to time, Sasori does every now and then…they said they wanted to meet me when the came round for the holidays," Gaara groaned at Neji's words.
"I'd advise you not to. Deidara's a handful."
"So I saw…" he said, making Gaara blush horridly.
"Err…sorry about that…he's…um…"
"No, its ok…I mean," Neji scratched his cheek to try find the right word. "Normal for your family t-to tease you about…tha-that…I guess…" Gaara looked away and nodded, throat dry.
"So…" Gaara started, wanting to change the awkward atmosphere.
"So," Neji repeated. "I should…go jog and…stuff."
The redhead nodded. "Yeah, you have to go jogging, right?"
"Definitely," there were a few more moments before Neji clapped his hands. "Err…later?"
"Yeah, later."
Gaara watched as Neji jogged off in the direction they usually went. Now what was he going to do? He certainly wasn't going to go home, that's for sure. It was a Saturday too!
He noticed a certain brunet jogging down the road, another dark haired boy next to him. The brunet waved, while the other just looked away, somewhat pissed.
"Gaara, what are you doing here?" Kiba asked.
"My cousin and his boyfriend have come for a visit…I'm not going back into that house."
"Why don't you come jogging with us?" Kiba suggested, jerking a thumb at Shino. "I'm sure he doesn't mind, the more the merrier, right?" the other two nodded and Gaara stood, following Shino and Kiba. When he looked at them interact like now, he was surprised they weren't already together. Shino looked generally brighter than normal, and Kiba's wolfish grin was slightly more subtle than usual. He was almost sorry for steeling Kiba from the boy
Almost, not quite.
"So Gaara, what happened to Neji?" Kiba asked with a grin. Of course, Shino wouldn't know the meaning behind that, but Gaara did.
A small tinge of pink found the pale cheeks. "How am I meant to know?" Gaara snapped back. Kiba sniggered and went back to Shino, who looked puzzled.
The boy must've been one of the only people in the school who opted for having a white tracksuit, and as it was getting hotter, Gaara wished he'd gone for that idea. He himself was still wearing the baggy white T-shirt that he'd worn to bed, and a pair of black trousers he'd found on the room floor. Black wasn't a colour you wore on such a nice day however.
"Hey, we've never met your cousin, have we?" Kiba asked. Gaara blinked for a moment.
"No, I don't think so…Naruto has, and they know who you are," Kiba looked slightly scared.
"How do they know who I am?"
"I don't know, they know who all my friends are…it's like they investigate into my life, no doubt Kankuro has something to do with it."
"Mm…I don't have to meet them, do I?"
"It's not recommended."
Kiba looked forward to find that his best friend had vanished.
"Where's Shino gone…" he asked himself, trailing off. Gaara shook his head.
"He's probably left or something, doubt he wants to stay here."
"Why?"
"To him, we go out. He'll want to leave us in our 'moment' or something…"
"You know, for someone who's emotionally retarded, you know a lot about these things."
"If you're hinting at me being in denial: I am not in denial. Especially if it has the words 'Hyuuga' or 'Neji'. Dot- end of story," Kiba smirked at the abrupt reply.
"You sound like it."
"Shut up. I'm getting enough of that from home," Gaara kicked the floor and the two noticed they were walking.
"So, Neji and Tenten are going out today, right?"
Gaara suddenly saw red. "Today…I have to go; I have to…call Naruto."
He was gone before Kiba could blink.
--
Sasuke cringed as a phone went off, music filling the air. The warmth that was pressed against him was lifted and his blond was now straddling his legs, flicking out an orange and black cell phone. Sasuke propped himself up on his elbows and licked his already wet lips.
"Oh, hey Gaara!" the blunet growled: what was he ringing in the midst of things for?
"Really? Are you sure?" Sasuke raised a brow. "Today? I don't know, I'll ask."
"Hey Sasuke-teme, are we doing anything today?"
"Yes, making out, now put down the phone and turn it off," the phone was raised to the tanned ear so that Naruto could talk again.
"No, I'm not doing anything, what time do you want to go?" the smile faulted. "Ah, Gaara, are you sure that's a good idea…"
Sasuke snatched the phone away. "Naruto's busy."
"This is important, asshole!"
"What?"
"He has to come to the cinema with me later."
"Why?"
"None of your concern, Uchiha."
Sasuke growled again. "Fine, but right now, he's busy."
He hung up the phone and threw it onto the floor from the bed: good thing he had carpet. Turning back to the blue eyed boy he pulled the tan face down to his and smacked their lips together, letting his tongue scale against the pink lips. Blue eyes rolled and were covered by eyelids, forgetting any complaint of his phone being thrown across the room as a wet limb pushed against his own, flicking and exploring his mouth with skill, sending shivers up and down his spine.
"Sasuke, I'm worried about Gaara and Neji…" he managed, pulling back for a moment. Pale fingers grabbed his chin and forced him back down, two hands finding their way to his lower back, getting lower.
"They'll be fine," Sasuke replied as they paused, only to soon start again. Tanned hands weaved themselves into his hair and played with the dark locks. Because somewhat impatient he rolled over, positioning himself on top. The thin legs that once straddled him locked tightly around his waist and pushed into him, both boys groaning with pleasure at the movement.
--
Gaara cringed as he heard a loud bang from downstairs. No doubt Deidara was trying to cook with Temari again. He heard someone opening the front door and some greetings. There was a bit more banging. Though Deidara made a mess, his cooking was fine, almost like art- though Gaara would never admit that to the blond, it would be a death wish: death by hugs.
"Gaara-kun, lunch is ready, un!" he was like a family member: annoying.
"I'm coming!" he yelled back, sitting up from his floor where all his work was scattered: better to get school work over and done with, right?
He trudged down the stairs and opened the door to the kitchen to find it empty, meaning everyone was in the garden on the outside table. It belonged to Nina, but she let them use it on special occasions. He walked out and looked at everyone. There was Temari, Shikamaru and Kankuro, then Sasori and Deidara, and then next to Deidara there was…
"What the hell is he doing here?" Gaara questioned, pointed at the longhaired male. Neji didn't even look like he wanted to be there.
"Now, now, come sit down, Gaara-kun!" Deidara said. "Next to Neji, un!" there was a seat next to Neji, looking very empty.
"Shikamaru, I'll swap seats with you," Gaara begged, though the boy scoffed and shook his head. That's what you get for not listening to him.
He slowly made his way over to the white plastic chair and sat, trying to get as far away from Neji as the round table would let him. Temari however was sitting too close to him to give him much leeway.
"Neji, Shikamaru, do you like it, un?" the blond asked with a hopeful smile.
"Yeah, much better than Temari's cooking," that deserved a slap round the back of the head, which was delivered smoothly.
"It's really nice Deidara…" Neji said. The male squealed with joy, making Gaara seriously doubt his gender. Though the fitting Turtle neck didn't show signs of a chest, the fact it was a stripy white and pastel pinks showed feminism though.
"Shikamaru, I hope Temari's not been too mean to you," Sasori said with a slight smile. Shikamaru side glanced the girl.
"Well," you could feel the deathly aura pouring off her. "She's been fine."
Deidara was giving Neji more food when Sasori turned to him. "Dei, does he look like he has a stomach that size?"
"No, he looks like a stick! He needs more food; we don't want him to become anorexic!" the blond counter. Gaara let his head fall into his hand.
"Dei, that's enough! Give him more when he's finished what's on his plate," Sasori reasoned. Deidara put down the bowl and went to his own food.
The redhead's attention was turned to his littlest cousin. "So, Gaara, what have you been up to in your room all day?"
"I've been doing homework: there's a lot."
"Ah, of course; you're doing your GCSEs now, aren't you?"
"Yeah…" there was a slightly awkward silence, though Neji and Shikamaru seemed like the only two who noticed the 'try me' look that the two redheads were giving each other.
"Is it hard?"
"Very."
"Demanding, huh?"
"Of course."
"You still fit in time for Kiba?"
Gaara gritted his teeth. "Sure, I heard University was harder though."
"Much harder."
"Do you actually work?"
"Of course."
"And you still fit in time for fucking?"
Sasori's eyes narrowed somewhat. "Well, you seemed to prove that's what night's for," he smirked as Gaara's face screwed up.
"Asked Deidara to marry you yet?" the smallest boy held his nose up in triumph when the hands tightened around the wooden chopsticks and the bowl. Deidara's head snapped up at the words 'Deidara' and 'marry', a blush on his face.
"What is it to you?"
"You know how much I care for you, cousin."
"Oh yes, I do. I'll pay you back by hooking you up with another guy so you can be a real whore, shall I?"
Pale hands slammed onto the table and Gaara shot up. Sasori snorted and Deidara's head was back down, more so than it was before. Temari looked somewhat nervous and Kankuro was trying to hide his face.
"Lay off bastard!"
"Make me!"
"Both of you!" the redheads looked at Temari. "Get on with your meal, in case you didn't notice, this isn't a simple family dinner you can both wreck!" the two sat down properly and got on with their meals. Neji looked around and his eyes locked with Shikamaru's, who looked somewhat confused also.
"Neji, do you want some more?" Deidara asked. The Hyuuga had barely eaten what he'd been given, but knew what the blond really meant. He was asking if he was ok.
"Ah, could I have some more sauce?" Neji asked. He didn't need anything really.
"Sure, un!" he said, picking up a little dish and giving it to Neji. The boy had plenty, so it stayed at the side.
"Thanks," Deidara shook his head.
"What about you, Shika?"
"Could you pass the beef? Cheers," the rest of the meal was in silence.
--
There were five people in the living room: one female and four males. Three in IB, two in university. If you asked them if they were plotting against their littlest family member, then they'd tell you they'd never do such a thing. If you asked them if they were trying to help their littlest family member in the most painful way they could think of, the response might be a little more positive. Helping is still helping though, right?
A blond and a brunet were sitting on the floor, paper in front of them. The blond was jotting things down while the brunet came up with ideas. The three who were actually related by blood were sat on the sofa.
"How do we eliminate Kiba then?" Temari asked, leaning forward.
"Shino and Kiba have this thing going on. I promised them if they didn't work it out I'd lock them in a cupboard," her boyfriend replied.
"You were being serious?"
"Yeah, un! You can't joke about the cupboard thing!" Deidara agreed.
"So, we're going to lock Kiba and Shino in a cupboard, right?" Sasori confirmed. Everyone nodded. "Where do we get the cupboard from?"
Deidara grinned. "I think I know who would be more than willing to lend us a cupboard."
--
"Gaara, why do I get the feeling we're following them?" Naurto asked his redheaded friend. For the past fifteen minutes they'd been 'happening' to be in the same place as Tenten and Neji, just out of sight.
"Shut up Naruto."
"Oh Neji, look! It's Naruto!" no one could mistake the blond and orange that is Naruto.
"So it is, hey Naruto!"
"Hey Neji, Tenten!" he said, Gaara had hidden behind him pathetically, innocently browsing the CD rack.
"Is that Gaara?" Neji asked, looking of the blue eyed boy's shoulder.
"Err…no, it's um…Gaara, yeah."
"Idiot…" the redhead turned.
"Hey Gaara, didn't expect to see you here, Kiba not with you?"
"No, why would Kiba be with me?"
"Aren't you going out?"
Gaara paused for a moment. "He's got…family stuff."
"I see…"
"Yeah…"
"What are you guys going to watch?"
"I don't know…what are you going to watch?"
"Naruto…why do I have the feeling that they're flirting?" Tenten asked Naruto quietly, the two oblivious to their friends.
"Because…they're flirting?" he really didn't know what to say.
"Well then, seeing as we don't know what to watch, why don't we watch something together?"
"Depends…"
"On what?"
"On the movie…"
"Well, then," Neji turned round, his hair flicking out somewhat. "We'll have to see a good one."
"I guess we will," Gaara smirked and followed just behind the brunet.
--
That's the second time Tenten had jumped, Gaara swore, if she jumped again, he'd make her wish she was never born. First, he'd rip out her gut, then stick her eyeballs up her nose and make her sneeze, and then-
The seats jerked somewhat.
"Neji, will you tell your girlfriend to stop making the seats move?" Gaara asked. Neji sighed and leaned over to the girl, leaning back to Gaara a few moments later.
"She said she'll try, but it's a real scary movie…"
"What do you mean scary, this is the best movie I've been to, funniest too."
"You're morbid, aren't you?"
"A little…"
A few moments later, after Tenten jumped a little, Gaara started sniggering. He could hear Neji chuckling beside him, both with humoured looks on their faces.
"My gosh…what a way to die."
"I've been waiting for him to kick the bucket from the beginning!"
"It's nice to see he died painfully though," Neji said, looking down at the redhead. For a short moment of time, Gaara felt like there was no Naruto beside him, and no Tenten beside Neji, and they were still going out, Kiba happily settled with Shino. For that small moment of time he felt like reaching up and kissing the Hyuuga boy.
"Neji, do you have any popcorn left?" Tenten was there though.
"No, sorry…are you ok, you've been jumping a bit," he replied. Gaara sunk into his seat and sighed.
"Yeah, I'm good! Just a bit scary…I love the weaponry though!"
"You're into that?"
"Guys, some of us are trying to watch a movie," Gaara growled. Neji smirked and sat back in his chair.
"You sound jealous."
"Fuck off, Hyuuga."
--
Gaara and Naruto sat opposite Neji and Tenten, happily eating food in the food court. Neji couldn't help but notice how Gaara ate his ramen, leaning into the bowl and slurping it up through the chopsticks, letting it flick over his mouth, his tongue scaling the pale lips to find more sauce. The green eyes almost lit up when he took a bit out of the chicken floating in the bowl, teeth latching down to bite. He pulled the utensils out his mouth, sucking on them with a 'pop'. Gaara wasn't as nicely dressed up as before, a simple long sleeved black shirt with an unbuttoned crimson T-shirt over it suited him well, and black baggy jeans round his waist.
"Gaara, Naruto!" he turned to the side to see his cousin and her friends.
"Hey guys, how are you?" Naruto asked, grinning broadly.
"We're good, you?" while the four got into a conversation, Neji engaged Gaara in their own.
"I thought Kiba had family things?"
"He did, he's obviously finished now though, right Kiba?" the brunet looked at them, puzzled. "You had family stuff earlier…"
"Ah, yeah, boring shit mind you…"
"See and he's finished now, right?"
"Right," Neji didn't look convinced. "What did you watch?" Kiba asked, trying to avoid Neji's harsh gaze.
Tenten pulled on Neji's sleeve, finished with her meal. Nodding, the Hyuuga male got up, his date following suit, and smiled a little.
"We're off, see you later," he said. Tenten waved happily and trotted off after him, linking her arm in his. Gaara glared fiercely at their backs.
"Gosh, Gaara, if you're going to get all angsty about it, go ask him out again," Naruto said.
"I'm not getting angsty about anything. Especially nothing to do with Hyuuga Neji."
"Yeah, that's why you seem to have a fetish for his ass all of a sudden," Kiba teased. He hadn't just caught the boy on the first day Neji was trying to kill him, no, whenever the brunet seemed to have his back to them, you could always pin point where Gaara's lingering gaze would be.
The boy's face heated up. "I do not have a fetish for anyone's ass, Kiba. You're such a freak sometimes!"
"Naruto's right though, as is Shikamaru and whoever else said it, you're in denial about it," Kiba advised. "Get up and do something about it."
To anyone who knew the current situation, this wasn't all that strange. But Hinata, Shino and Naruto didn't know what was going on, thus spurring on Naruto with a: "What the fuck?"
Gaara and Kiba shared glances: not good.
"Shall we tell them?"
"That kind of defies the point of it all."
"No, Neji doesn't know…right?"
"Right," Kiba and Gaara looked at their friends.
"In fact, no, let's not tell them," Kiba said, ruffling the red hair. "It does defy the point."
Gaara swatted at the hand. "Get off, freak!"
--
Neji yawned, walking down the stairs in his black pyjama bottoms, lilac dressing gown open swinging at his sides. He heard Hinata talking to someone at the door and she came down the hall, clad in silk nightwear looking half asleep.
"Neji-niisan…someone's at the door for you…"
"Yeah, don't worry about it Hinata, go back to bed."
"M'kay…"
Neji got to the door and blinked, rubbing his eyes a little. He saw a blond and a redhead at his door: first impression was 'Naruto and Gaara', but with a closer look you could see two older people, and somewhat taller.
"Sasori, Deidara…what's wrong…what time is it?"
"It's about half ten," Sasori supplied. "We were wondering if you had a cupboard we could borrow for a few hours tomorrow, or on Monday."
"A cupboard?" Neji parroted.
"A cupboard, un!" the blond exclaimed. "You know, we can't run through with operation: S.G.K.U without a cupboard."
"What's … what you just said stand for?"
"Operation: Split Gaara and Kiba Up."
Neji paused. "How big of a cupboard?"
"I thought so…"
"And we have take off, un!"

"Are you mad at us?"
"Not at you."
"Gaara?"
"No comment."
"Oh…why?"
"…Because."
"Because isn't a reason, Shino!"
"It is now…"
