The Counterattack

Gaara was… difficult.
As soon as he slammed the door in Sasuke and I's faces on that Monday afternoon we kept knocking and hounding at his door until he was forced to chase us out of the apartment with a baseball bat. It was quite fun though, I have to admit but it was still annoying to try and explain that we were only there to talk to him when all his did was grunt and yell at us to leave him alone.
Yes, Gaara was indeed difficult, but Sasuke, Sasuke was seriously impossible.
As we walked away from the apartment building in silence I could almost feel the anger radiating off of him like a sweltering heat as he stomped childishly towards the bus stop with me in tow.
We rode the bus to our houses in silence and he grabbed me and pulled me off of the bus at his stop despite mine being a few after him. I opened my mouth to complain but he tugged on my collar and crashed our lips together in a searing kiss, his tongue fiercely battled with mine and his hands grabbed and my shirt desperately leaving me breathless and my legs like jelly.
He pushed away from me and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand roughly with a scowl still plastered on his face. "W-what was that for?" I asked shakily as I used a nearby tree to keep me upright.
He shrugged and looked away from my heavily blushing face, "I just felt like it."
We stood there for what felt like hours before he finally spoke again, "we're going back to Gaara's tomorrow." He hissed softly before turning to walk away.
Before he could go properly I grabbed his wrist and swung him around so he was facing me once more, placed my hand on the nape of his neck and pulled him in for another kiss. This one was softer and calmer; I gently caressed his lips with my own and slowly coerced his mouth open to deepen the ministrations.
We became lost in our own world as my hands moved to cup both of his cheeks and his moved to grab and pull at the back of my shirt as he moaned quietly into my mouth. I pulled away slowly and pressed my forehead against his as I tried to gain back my bearings.
He gradually, almost reluctantly pulled away from me and I watched as he walked down the street towards his road; he didn't look back once. I watched him until he completely disappeared from my vision, "goodbye." I whispered airily still looking in the direction he went.
I didn't even bother to complain about the fact that I had to wait 10 minutes for the next bus to come.

Tuesday after school went the exact same way that Monday after school had happened but this time there was more interaction on Gaara's part.
I'm assuming that his siblings had told the teen that Naruto and I were there to convince him to come back to school because as soon as we had knocked on the door once he opened it with an annoyed scowl and began to speak.
"Look, I know why you're here but I'm not coming back to school, nothing you say or do will get me to change my mind, understand? I don't know what you were going to get out of this but it's not going to work." With that little speech he closed his door and never opened it once no matter how annoying we got.
Despite my reluctance to leave, Naruto had to drag me away from the apartment complex to the bus stop claiming my family would worry. He was right, they would worry, which made me all the more angry; Gaara was wasting Naruto and I's time and was going to make my family unnecessarily worry.
That time could be used for things more productive, my thoughts suddenly shifted to yesterday at the bus stop with Naruto, I didn't know what had come over me but I felt that if I got off and left Naruto on that bus without doing something I would regret it oh so very deeply.
Angry kisses are things I can handle, they are quick and rough and make me feel alive but the soft kiss Naruto gave me after, it made me crumble. I felt so loved and treasured that I never wanted to leave his arms or let him go.
The mere thought of the weakness I felt made me scowl, I didn't want to feel this way, once these next few weeks were over Naruto would probably forget me, ignore me, I was just an experiment to him, I accepted that but why did the though always cause an uncomfortable pang in the depths of my chest.
Misunderstanding my deep scowl, Naruto reached over and took my hand into his, "it's ok Sasuke, I just thought of Gaara on a whim, we have 3 more days left, I'm sure we can find someone, right?"
My heartbeat picked up as I stared at out intertwined fingers, the contrast between my soft pale skin and his vibrantly tanned one. His palm felt rough and his knuckles calloused, I ran a finger over them softly and saw Naruto shiver slightly out of my peripheral vision.
"Sasuke?" His voice was soft and oh so welcoming and I felt my heartbeat pick up even more; it was literally bursting out of my chest as I stared at Naruto. He sounded like he cared, he was intrigued by me, it made me feel so special and I really didn't deserve it.
I grabbed his cheek with my other hand and before he could speak I smashed our faces together much like I had done the day before. This time, however, I was the one to initiate the soft kiss.
I wanted to express myself; I hoped that Naruto would understand my raging feeling that could not be put into words through this kiss, that he received every heartbeat I felt and that his own fell in sync with mine. His arm snuck around my waist and pulled me impossibly closer to him making me almost groan in happiness.
I was so lost in him, Naruto's smell, Naruto's taste, Naruto's feel, they were drowning me in so much pleasure that I didn't feel the need to swim away; he was mine, my Narut-
"Ahem."
Our lips separated and I glared over at the disgruntled old lady who was sitting in the isle behind us. Looking at our surroundings I stood up and pulled Naruto off of the bus with me as it arrived at my stop.
He tripped after me off of the bus, still obviously frazzled from our latest make-out session so I stood in front of him, holding his hand and waited for him to speak.
"What's with you and kissing all of a sudden?" He asked breathily as he squeezed my hand softly, I smirked, "it's quite a comforting pass time."
I wouldn't be able to tell him my new found feelings, not yet anyways; I'm not completely sure how I felt about it.
Turning my thoughts back to the matter at hand I watched as Naruto took a familiar sheet of paper out of his pocket, "oh yeah, here; I've updated it."
I took the sheet from his fingertips and opened the unevenly folded paper to reveal a set of new words
5. Tame Gaara Sabaku (A.K.A the rude prick)

I walked with a determined skip in my step up the stairs that I had come accustomed to lately and walked down to the same door I always did.
It was 7 in the morning and I was going to get this done before school. My worries would be over and my time with Naruto would probably be cut short. I hesitated for a moment before continuing, this would test my feelings, if I didn't feel much from the blond's absence I would know for sure that what I was feeling at the moment was definitely not love.
I knocked on the door loudly once I reached it and waited for the door to open despite knowing it never would. After waiting two minutes I brought out a paperclip and began to work on the lock, opening it quickly after a moment of struggle.
I strode through the house with purpose and entered the master bedroom before pulling the inhabitant off of the bed by his hair. He didn't look tired at all as he glared at me, "how did you get in here?" He asked as he stood to get back into bed.
Moving to stand between him and the bed I smirked, "my brother taught me how to pick any type of lock."
He tried to push past me to get to his bed but I wouldn't let him and after a while he just scowled, "look, I don't know who you are or what you want but I'm not going back to school."
My smirk morphed into an annoyed scowl as I moved my finger to poke roughly at the red head's chest as I spoke, "well I know who you are and I know that you want to sleep but, news flash Gaara, you're an insomniac, you can't sleep, and hiding away from the truth while trying to fool yourself that you sleeping when you're not won't help!"
Before the other could even say a word, I had grabbed his wrist and lead him towards the open bathroom door and threw him into the shower and turned the knob.
The red head spluttered at me before trying to get back up, I pushed him down back onto his butt and sneered at him, "take a nice long shower, you stink,"
I turned from the shower as I slipped my phone out my pocket and headed for the door, "you're not going to school smelling like that."
I closed the door behind me as I stepped from the bathroom and quickly dialled Itachi's number.
"Hello little brother, to what do I owe this honour?"
"Could you have a school uniform made in about my size in about 20 minutes?" I asked, not bothering with the formalities.
There was a silence down the line before my brother spoke again, "I'll be there in 10."
