Day four part4: From the uke's prospective
(Earlier, during breakfast)
"So what's your cabin going to do today?" Naruto
"Something about visiting another cabin for a game of some sort…" Gaara
"Really, sounds like fun!" Naruto
The two of them were talking just like friends would. 'Stupid Sasuke, there's nothing wrong with the people I decide to open up too…'
"Naruto? You alright?" Gaara asked worryingly.
"Huh?" Naruto snapped from his trance "Sorry I must have been spacing. You say something?"
"…you seem down. What's wrong?"
"Wha-? Nothing!" Naruto give Gaara one of his famous Uzamaki smiles "See, I'm fine!"
"…." But Gaara knew something was up. If there was one thing he liked about the blond, it was that he was as easy to read as a book.
"Naru-"
"HEY GUYS!" Neji came out of nowhere sitting himself in the space just in between the two of them. "Hows it going?" which annoyed Gaara to no end considering that this was the first time the 'other person' (that's right, he doesn't even remember his name. Sad huh?) came up to him, only to deliberately ruin his time with Naruto.
"…good until you showed up." Gaara
Neji felt a stab in the heart. O.k so Gaara was obviously not into him, but you can't blam a man for trying, right? As for Naruto, he felt a little relief. He figured that Gaara wasn't buying his act so Neji coming in the way he did saved him the embaresment.
"Not bad. So, what game you guys going to play?"
"Capture the flag in the forest I think."
'Oh really?' Gaara smirked. 'perfect.'
Once breakfast was done, Naruto was just about to join his team mates and go back to the cabin, but then he felt someone grab his arm. It was Gaara.
"What's up Gaara?"
"…I felt that Neji took up most our time together, so…I was wondering, " he leans close to Naruto's ear "wanna meet somewhere in privet?" Naruto then began to feel a since of daja vu.
~"So? So? What if tomorrow he tells you to go meet somewhere in privet with him, huh? You could get lost, or worse do something bad to you!"~
Naruto closed his eyes shut tight as Sasuke's words seemed to invade him
~"You shouldn't make yourself so open with a complete stranger like that!"
"Unless…you'd rather be with your team mates…" Gaara commented.
Naruto then slowly opens his eyes. 'I don't need to be told what to do. Most diffidently not from…Sasuke…' Meeting eye contact with Gaara, Naruto smiles
"Sure, why not?"
The plan was simple, Naruto would follow the group in a way that no one would notice, wait for the game to actually start, meet up with Gaara, and high tail it further into the forest.
Naruto was following the group. 'Stupid stupid teme! I'll show him! I'll show him real good!' and all the blond could think about was how he was going to prove Sasuke just how wrong he was.
"O.k you guys, you ready?" Iruka asks as he began the countdown "3-2-1-*Tweet*" and with that the game began. With everyone running everywhere, nobody noticed Gaara running towards Naruto.
"Ready?" He asks Naruto "Let's run for it!" grabbing Naruto's hand Gaara lead them deeper into the woods. As exciting as sneeking of and doing things he knew he shouldn't be dong was, he couldn't help but feel depressed. Why was he feeling this way? Shouldn't this be fun?
After what seemed like hours of running, the two of them finally stoped near by a huge rock to lean against.
"This should be good. No one can bother us here."
"…"
Naruto couldn't respond, he was just too exhausted. Gaara turned and looked at Naruto who was now panting heavily. 'Perfect.'
"So, what do you wanna do now, Naruto?" he breathed into Naruto's ear. To tired to think right, he just assumed Gaara was just panting heavily too.
"Wh-what ta y-you m-mean?" Naruto asked still unable to keep his panting from sidling.
"I mean," Gaara said as he moved down and closer to Naruto's neck "what do you want me to do to you?" it wasn't until Gaara went down and sucked on Naruto's vain on his neck causing him to moan for him to realize what Gaara meant.
"W-wait Gaara I- I-eep!" Gaara bit down a little and sucked harder. There was going to be a nice hicky there. "I-I uh, don't…*moan*" Gaara then licked Naruto's now very venerable spot on his neck. "Will you knock it off for one second!" Naruto then shoves Gaara off him. Gaara then froze. 'did I do something wrong?'
"Look, I like you. As a friend…I don't think we should be doing this…"
"Why not?" Gaara said annoyed "I thought you wanted to go to a private place with me so we could spend more time together."
"I did….but not like this."
Gaara lowered his head. He was angry. For the first time he found someone who wasn't afraid to come up to him and treat him like a human being. For as long as he could remember, he could never find someone other than his siblings who would even go near him. Hell, even his siblings though, deep down, no matter how many times they told themselves that they loved him, we're afraid of him. At first it was because people started believing that he was cursed since his birth had been the cause of his mothers death. But when he got bullied at school…that's when people really started getting scared of him. He snapped and nearly killed four kids who at the time were even older than his own siblings. What had really scared people the most was that he was not one bit sorry, if anything, he had been incredibly happy for having beaten the sit out of them. …He was only eight years old when that happened. Ever since then, everyone kept their distance from him. As time progressed Gaara began to feel lonely and more hurt as the years progressed and was about to give up on the concept of being loved…until Naruto showed up. Naruto had given him that feeling of hope…and he sure as hell wasn't going to loss it now.
"Gaara?" Naruto asked worryingly "Are you alright? I didn't mean we still couldn't be friends or any thing like that." 'No' raising his head, he meets eye contact with Naruto 'I don't want a friend…' he then grab hold of Naruto's shoulders and pinned him against the rock
"I want to be loved." And with that, Gaara kissed Naruto, harshly. Naruto began crying 'Sasuke? Where are you? …I'm scared…'
