"Is thi…this gonna hurt much?"

Gaara smirked despite himself. He was never going to let Sasuke live it down, the way he'd acted in that big, tough tattoo parlor. The Uchiha had finally gotten up the nerve to use the gift certificate he'd gotten for Christmas. If Gaara hadn't been there to drag the raven-haired boy inside, he was sure that Sasuke would have run from the ominous looking shop. The dark sketches of vampires, dragons and demons contrasted greatly to the otherwise cheery mall, and it had almost been too much for Sasuke to handle.

"Maybe…maybe we could do it another day?" Gaara recalled the Uchiha whimpering and backing slowly away from the door. But he wasn't going to get off that easy.

"I'm working for the next two weeks straight. And you don't want to do this by yourself, do you?" he whispered menacingly as he pushed him towards the door. Sasuke shook his head and gave into the inevitability.

"Yes, this is going to hurt…much," answered the three-hundred pound man that was leaning over the young boy's face with a frightening contraption in his hand. His head was so shiny and bald, Gaara could almost see the reflection of Sasuke's worried face in it as he looked on. The rest of the man was so heavily tattooed that it was hard to tell what color his skin was. The Uchiha reached feebly for the redhead's hand, desperately searching for encouragement. Gaara grabbed his fingers, despite the dirty look the piercer gave them.

"Don't worry," he said in what he hoped was a supportive voice. "It'll just be like getting a shot at the doctor's." The man gave a little snort of disagreement, but thankfully didn't say anything.

"I hate the doctor's!" squealed Sasuke, who sounded on the brink of tears.

"Try being a man, fag!" cried a voice from behind the counter. Gaara would have run over and punched the voice had Sasuke not suddenly grabbed tighter onto his hand.

"Stop squirming so much or I'll pierce your eye by accident." Shocked by the disturbing image that just floated into his mind, Sasuke finally settled down and with a quick "click" and a grunt, it was over.

"See? That wasn't so bad," Gaara sighed as they walked out of the tattoo parlor. He thought he heard the scary piercer whisper something about "getting a sticker" but he ignored it. The redhead put his arm affectionately around Sasuke's waist as they ambled around the mall. Whimpering quietly, the Uchiha raised his hand up to his face and gingerly poked his tender lip.

"Is it red?"

"Not…too red," the redhead replied before giving him a little peck on the nose.

"Would you…fuck me?" Gaara stopped walking so abruptly, Sasuke went on ahead a few steps before doubling back. "Haha, gotcha! Thought you'd be on top for a second, didn't you?" Sasuke put his arm around the redhead's stiff shoulder and leaned in to whisper in his ear. "Well…would you?"

Gaara smiled softly. "You do look pretty damn sexy with that thing," he said quietly before leaning up to kiss the Uchiha, careful not to irritate the newly-found hole in Sasuke's face.

"There's a reason they have gay bars, you know!" cried someone from a few feet away. They both stopped quickly to look at who had said it, but there were several people walking around. It could have been any of them.

"Tell you what," Gaara said, deciding to ignore the comment. "How bout I treat you to some ice cream to sooth your aching war-wounds?" Sasuke didn't answer for a minute and glared out angrily into the crowd. "Sasuke?" The Uchiha's head jolted back a little, as if he had been somewhere else.

"Yeah. I like me some strawberry," he said playfully, giving Gaara's cheek a little lick before heading towards the ice cream shop.


"What do you want for dinner, babe?" called Temari from the kitchen. Itachi was in the next room, working on his lap top.

"Whatever you wanna make," he called back. It was quiet for a minute before the blonde bent over his body on the couch. She looks just as good upside-down, the Uchiha couldn't help but think as she grinned at him.

"How bout spaghetti?" she asked. Itachi grimaced slightly.

"That could get a little messy," he laughed, thinking back to their first date. The blonde looked a little put-out.

"Food isn't fun if it's not messy," she whined teasingly. Itachi tilted his head slightly to the side and kissed her with a surprising intensity that made her gasp, giving his tongue unspoken permission inside.

"Could you guys, like, not have sex in the living room?" Gaara said, rolling his eyes as he walked in from the front door. Temari straightened herself out quickly and walked over to him with purpose.

"Don't make me give you the birds and the bees speech again, little brother." The redhead rolled his eyes again and headed for his bedroom door. "Hold on a sec, where exactly have you been?"

"Out with Sasuke," he said, immediately regretting his word-choice. Temari squealed.

"On a…date?" she said with a childlike smile, her eyes wide in playful curiosity.

"No," he said sharply.

"Then, what were you doing?" Gaara looked at Itachi a little nervously and stuttered a little.

"Well…I guess you will see eventually," he said hesitantly. Itachi looked at him with a mockingly scared expression.

"You got my brother pregnant, didn't you, you…pervert!"

"BOYS DON'T HAVE CHILD-BEARING ORGANS, YOU FUCKING MORON!" the redhead cried, slamming his bedroom door in exasperation. Itachi and Temari high-fived before going back to work. Unfortunately, it wasn't the kind of work either of them wanted (i.e. steaminess on the couch). The blonde walked slowly back into the kitchen, and Itachi started typing away at his lap top again.

So...it's been nearly a month. I have no excuses except my laziness. Senioritis is a bitch, but definitely something to look forward to, little ones. Wait...what are you doing reading a mature story? Haha jk.

Anyway, I got my first unintelligent flame. It was for my other story, "Never Really Home." It made me laugh. Man, how I hated that story by the end of it. I like this one much more. It's more interesting, has more versatility. You know the drill. You guys must like it more, too because it has almost 9,000 hits! I am amazed at how popular it is. Thank you so much for your support. I am sorry I am not a reliable author! -hangs head in shame-

I honestly have no idea when I will be able to update next. I actually have to get my learners permit for driving next weekend. I know, I should have gotten that a year and a half ago. Like I said, lazy. If my mom wasn't making me get it, I probably still wouldn't. Plus, DMVs scare me! Maybe I should write a chapter about that...

Yes, I am piercing vicariously through Sasuke. Yes, I am just putting off the inevitable ending of this story. A few more chapters more, I think. Then I might make a sequel while they are in college. Would you guys like that?

God, I am going on and on again.

Oh, one more thing. Did anyone notice the title of the last chapter? I was so excited when I thought of it, and I don't even know if anyone noticed! Maybe you guys are too young, o well. It made me happy. I guess that's all that matters in the long-run. Okay okay, I'm shutting up! TBC, R&R, beg the authors of "Twisted" to update. -sigh- So...much...smex...
