RECAP: Sakura told Sasuke and Naruto was there.
Sakura was sleeping in her room and Naruto was sitting on the couch with his arm tight around a crying Sasuke. Naruto was holding him tightly as he had Sakura. Sasuke was almost to shocked to continue crying. He figured that now Naruto had to have a deep hatred for him.
"Naruto?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't you hate me? I hate me, for doing this to Sakura."
"Sasuke, please don't talk about how you 'did this' to Sakura. I'm uncomfortable enough with Sakura expecting. I'd rather not have you painting me a picture of how it happened. OK?"
,
"...oh..."
"Yeah...anyway...I'm going to be here for all of it...I hope you are too...point is I'm not going anywhere..."
"...Thank you..."
"Wha-"
"It's just...I can't handle this...you know Sakura...you and her are inseperable...I don't think she could handle you not being here."
"Well, as long as you're here I'm kinda proud of you. I mean obviously there's a small part of me that hates your guts because of what you did, I probably won't get over that. I am however slightly proud of you for saying you'll be here, in this situation a normal man might abandon her but so far you're still here."
"That's what I'm afraid of Naruto. I'm scared a normal man's exactly what I am. You have to stay, I can't do this without you."
"Sasuke, shut up! You're being incredible selfish I'm just glad Sakura isn't awake to hear this. We're supposed to be the strong ones here, and you're whining because YOU can't do it? YOU did this, and noe YOU are going to handle it like a man. If you can't leave us alone."
"...I'm sorry Naruto...I just got..."
"...no I'm sorry for blowing up like that...I stand by my view that this is all you're fault but...whether I like it or not...you're involved...I guess that would make you...with me and Sakura more often...I won't like it but I'll deal with it...as long as you stay away from me and Gaara I'll have only the regular amount of dislike toward you OK?"
"OK..."
"Well don't look so freaked out...I mean yes you probably just ruined Sakura's young life but hey at least you got laid right."
Naruto gave Sasuke a slap on the back and got up. Usually a slap on the back from Naruto was taken as a joke, this time it had been so hard that Sasuke knew Naruto was doing his best not to tear him to shreds. Either that or he was subconciously hurting him. Naruto stormed out, he didn't even know where he was going. He went into Sakura's room and closed the door, she looked beautiful when she slept. He climbed into bed next to her and put his arm around her. She woke up a few minutes later. She saw Naruto laying with her. Sakura woke up some and cuddled closer to Naruto.
Sasuke wanted to follow Naruto, he didn't, something had made him scared of Naruto. It was probably the amount of anger he had for him. In the end he decided to go after him, he didn't want to seem weak. When he walked into Sakura's room he found them lying in bed together cuddling. He immediately started doubting eveything when Sakura gave him a light kiss. They hadn't noticed his presence until he left.
"I can't kiss you anymore, Sakura. I love you, but not that way anymore. I kiss you because...it's familiar and sweet, it makes me feel at home. But Sasuke can't handle it, even though it's not like a real kiss."
They got up to find Sasuke. He was sitting at the kitchen table.
"SO! IS IT EVEN MINE!"
"Sasuke please. You and I both know I'm gay. You did this, it's still your fault."
"Sasuke, it wasn't like that. Ever since...the market...we've been a lot closer. It's like cuddling with your cousin, and a kiss you give family members, no big deal, ya know?"
"No I don't know, and it's not normal to me."
"Well me and Sakura agreed that you can't deal with us being so close, we'll work on it."
"So did you guys used to kiss...a lot?"
"No it was like...giving each other a hug when a hug wasn't enough...Sasuke, I love you."
"I love you too Sakura...things just got a little weird is all..."
Naruto got mad, he knew his and Sakura's relationship would push Sasuke's buttons, but they were more than best friends. They loved each other but not romanticly, Sasuke couldn't understand that. And after Sasuke and Sakura's whole ordeal he had the nerve to call what they had weird. He tried to keep his cool because Sakura was there but he couldn't.
"OH YEAH! I'm sure thing are pretty weird for YOU! Yeah you knocked up my best friend in the world shortly after kissing me multiple times, which nearly ruined me and Gaara. Not only that but now you two can't be seperated, I'll be slowly fazed out over these next few months, whether I like it or not. So I'm sorry if the remainder of the best relationship I've had with a woman bothers you, but don't worry cause I'll have been completely fazed out by I'm guessing month 5! I'M GOING HOME!"
Naruto stormed out crying with frustration. He didn't call Gaara back but he'd see him soo enough. He sounded like he was going to tell him something, he was almost home Gaara could tell him whatever he needed to there. He'd forgotten his keys when he left that morning, he knocked on the door crying still. Gaara opened the door shocked with Naruto's state.
"Naruto, what hap-"
Naruto cut him off with a kiss. He pushed his tongue into his mouth expecting Gaara to suck it. Gaara's kissed could always make him feel better. For some reason Gaara wasn't really kissing him back, he'd never doubted a kiss from him before. Naruto broke the kiss and put their foreheads together. Gaara looked like he was about to cry. Naruto was already crying.
"Gaara, what's wrong? Why won't you kiss me back?"
Gaara was bright red and on the verge of tears only then did Naruto look up. Temari and Kankuro had dropped in. Gaara pulled him into the kitchen as fast as he could. Temari and Kankuro had seen the whole thing from the living room. Naruto was only stunned to see them there because he wasn't expecting visitors, he had forgotten that Gaara hadn't told anyone about him so he wasn't freaking out like Gaara was.
"Gaara, sorry for being so rude when I came in but I'll go out there and say 'Hi'. You don't need to get so upset."
"Naruto, I told you that they don't know, you still kissed me. I bet they're out there talking about me..."
"Oh my God. I'm so sorry Gaara, I just needed one of your kisses. I wasn't thinking. Oh no. Oh I'm so sorry."
Naruto hugged Gaara. He then put his hands on his shoulders and looked him in the eye.
"Well, what's done is done. Now's a good time to tell them I guess. I'll do the talking if you don't want to."
"No, they're my family, I should tell them."
"Whatever you want. I'm sorry I've forced this."
"It's OK, honestly if you hadn't I probably wouldn't get around to telling them until we're married...I don't mean we're definitely getting married right now or or ever or anything or maybe not-"
Naruto stopped his babbling with a light kiss and started to say something.
"When we're married this'll be a funny story."
Gaara blushed, Naruto took his hand and escorted him into the living room.
