New chapter.

Thank you for all the lovely reviews I have gotten so far. They really make me want to hurry and write faster..
narukyuu4life asked about a NaruKyuu fanfic. I'm already taking notes for another fanfic I'll probably write after this and I don't really feel anything for that parring, but I might do it. I just want to know a bit more about it.. There are many different kinds of views on Kyuubi. Sometimes it's a woman, sometimes a man, sometimes a tsundere other times Kyuubi is helpful and sweet... If you write a bit more about what you are looking for, I'll look into it :)

This also applies to the rest of you, if there is something you would like I'll look at it and maybe write another fanfic.

Chapter 21

Gaara's POV

"Who is Seth then? Another friend?"

"Who?" He looked really confused at me.

"Seth.. the guy you keep mentioning" He still looked confused but then his eyes widen in realization

"Oh Seth.. I've told you about him.. He isn't my friend" Now it's my time to get confused. They aren't friends. Does that mean Naruto just likes him?

"Yeah, even though I want to it's a bit hard to be friends with a fictional character" He grinned. Fictional…?

"What do you mean by that?" He suddenly begins to laugh loudly

"Oh, you thought he was real" he said while laughing at me. I frowned.

"I told you about this book the first night we ate together. It's my favourite book. I don't know how many times I have read it by now. In this book there is a person named Seth. You don't remember all that?" I shook my head. Of course I didn't remember all that.. I had ignored him the first many nights. He sighed

"Oh well. But this person has almost the same looks and personality as you. I have always liked him so much" He looked so excited. "He is just so cool and smart and.." He sighed dreamily. I was beginning to be a bit annoyed by his fanboy behaviour.

"So when I saw you, I just had to be friends with you. It would be like having my own personal Seth" I growled.

"So I'm just a substitute" He looked shocked.

"Of course not. I just found you interesting at first because you reminded me of him, but then I began to like you as a person more and more. So I don't think about that anymore. You aren't a substitute… I really like having you as a friend" He was beginning to look a bit desperate. I decided to forgive him, for now anyway. So all that time he had just been a character from a book. I groaned. I looked up and saw him pouting.

"How come you forgot what I told you? I have talked about that book a couple of times" I just shrugged. He suddenly gasped.

"Hey, don't tell me you don't listen to what I tell you" He looked accusatory at me. I just shrugged again.

"Hey" He yelled insulted. He turned away and looked angry at the wall. The silence filled the room and I began to draw something. After some time he began to slowly crawl over beside me. He looked at my drawing but still didn't say anything. So it was Sasuke that was his childhood friend and he left him… That's why he always called for him in his dream. I looked at Naruto. He didn't seem like the person to just let someone he liked that much, go without a fight.

"What happened between you too? Why did he leave?" He froze and began to fiddle with his sleeves.

"Uhm.. He had an older brother who everybody loved, especially his parents. He had always lived in his shadows and wanted to be better than him. After their parents death, his brother got adopted almost immediately by some business man who helped him lead their families company. Sasuke was left alone and then we met. As I said, we slowly became friends. But then a new teacher came to our school" He looked distressed and maybe a little disgusted.

"He was very interested in Sasuke. He offered him a spot in his group of elites. He told everyone he wanted to find the most intelligent people and teach them on a higher level to exploit their full potential, but I know he just wanted to find lots of beautiful people for his own harem" Naruto looked bitter. He had stopped fiddling and was instead almost tearing his sleeve apart.

"It doesn't sound like you like him all that much. I guess Sasuke ended up taking his offer" He flinched

"Yeah, I don't like him" He said softly, while looking away. "Sasuke wanted to be better than his brother, so he was sure he had to take his offer to be even smarter than before. Suddenly he didn't want to talk to me or anything. He just ignored me." He had stopped pulling his sleeves and was just looking at his hands sadly.

"And that's all you dream about? Just him? He is the reason why you're having nightmares, why you can't touch people?" I knew that couldn't be the only reason. I looked at him and could almost see him contemplating whether he should tell me or not.

"The new teacher kind of…" He sighed. He touched his cheeks "These scars… he gave me them" I looked at him completely shocked.

"Wh-" I didn't even know what to say.

"He dragged me to an empty classroom several times. He blindfolded me and… He always touched me so gently. That had confused me the first time, but then I found out he liked that. He liked to touch me gently and then when I least expected it he would hurt me. These were from the last session" His finger moved over the scars on his cheek.

"Maybe he knew that being gentle at first would make me afraid of touching. My body is just waiting for the anticipated pain whenever someone touches me."

Naruto's POV

"He was jealous of me I guess" I sighed. "He wanted Sasuke so bad and unfortunately for me, he thought he had to remove me from Sasuke's life"

"Couldn't he have done that differently, like threats or something?" Gaara said with venom in his voice. He still sat there completely tense.

"I don't know. I think he, in some sick way, enjoyed doing it. Not that I was his type. I know he likes beautiful and intelligent teens. Sasuke was all that." I looked at Gaara. "I'm sure he would have liked you too, if you had attended our school." Gaara flinched.

"I don't like being in the same group as Sasuke. He left you, remember. How can you still like someone like him? He doesn't sound like a good friend. Where was he when that teacher tormented you? And why would you say that. He would like me. I definitely don't want to be told that. And why the hell don't you hate him or get angry or anything. You just sit there and talk about it like it's nothing special" Gaara was livid.

"Oh I'm sorry I seem detached" I said sarcastically "Next time I tell this story I'll try to get more angry. And don't talk about Sasuke like that" I yelled the last part. Sasuke was my friend no matter what and I wasn't letting anyone trash-talk him, not even Gaara. "He is my friend and I like him really much, so just s-

"And why don't you ever think about my feelings? How do you think this makes me feel?" Gaara growled.

Gaara's POV

I roughly pushed him against the wall. My body was flush against his. My lips found his and I harshly bit on it. He gasped and I immediately took the change to plunge my tongue in between his lips. My lips moved against his as our tongues touched. My finger nails dug into the skin on his arms. My lips hungrily moved along his jaw and over the skin on his neck. I bit and sucked on the delicate skin.

My mind was in a daze. I felt delirious. The taste, the scent, the feel. It was all so overwhelming. My fingernails began to draw blood as they scratched down his arms. My tongue soothingly licked the marks on his neck. I felt him shudder and suddenly my mind cleared. I quickly pushed myself away from him, afraid of his reaction.

I looked at Naruto and my breath hitched. I hadn't expected him to look like that. I had thought he would be frightened, maybe he would even be crying, but he wasn't. Naruto's face was slightly flustered and his eyes were half mast and unfocused. His lips were shiny and a bit bruised. The marks on his skin stood out, even on his slightly tanned skin. He looked so.. I suddenly felt his overwhelming desire to touch him, kiss him, something. I just wanted more than this. More, so much more.

I turned around and quickly walked away. I just couldn't deal with this.

Yay, finally some action!

I have to go to a convention here in Denmark (J-popcon) this weekend. This means it will probably take some time before the next chapter gets uploaded... But I'll hurry ;)
