Hyperactive Active Heart
Ch 25: Two, not One but Two Guys
The bell for lunch rang and Lee followed his classmates Tobi tagged along with Lee. "Where is pretty Naruto today?" Tobi asked as he grabbed onto Lee's hands and tugged. Lee turned around and smiled, "Naruto is sick, but I think he would not like to be called pretty Tobi."
"Bit he is pretty! He's almost as pretty as Tobi's Dei!" Tobi insisted.
"Okay Tobi," Lee agreed. He had to admit that Naruto was very attractive. Tobi smiled widely. He glomped Lee in an affectionate hug. "Can Tobi eat lunch with Lee today?"
"Sure," Lee smiled and pushed the affectionate child off himself.
"Yeah!" Tobi clapped, "Tobi and Lee are friends?"
"Yes we are friends Tobi," Lee awkwardly patted Tobi's shoulder. They walked toward the cafeteria. Tobi pulled on Lee's sleeve. "What is it Tobi."
"There's a mean looking boy staring at us. Tobi don't like him," His lip trembled. Lee looked around and noticed vibrant blood red hair. He flashed back to the bus ride earlier that morning. Perhaps he had made the boy angry. He looked very angry. "Let's go Tobi is hungry," Tobi grabbed Lee's hand and with strength that some what surprised Lee. He dragged the boy into the cafeteria…
…
…Gaara watched as the boy with those odd eyebrows was dragged down the hall by a larger boy. The boy was hanging all over Lee and touching him in a seemingly intimate way. Gaara didn't like it. This other boy seemed pretty strong. Perhaps his chosen target wasn't as easy to get to. The bigger boy looked at him. He had pale skin to rival Gaara's and onyx eyes. He had scarring about the left half of his face which made him almost comical to look at. The right half of his face was perfect, handsome, smooth skin fine bone structure. He wore short hair that was spiked wildly but seemed more unkempt then styled that way. He was tall and lean but he pulled the shorter boy around as if he weighed nothing. Gaara didn't like it the way he draped himself over the other boy. That boy was going to be Gaara's and he would plow through this other boy if he could help it. This one and that other one. It seemed the cute submissive looking boy had two strong suitors to protect him from Gaara's advances but Gaara would go through them like a hot knife through butter…
…
…Lee and Tobi got their lunch and Tobi held his tray carefully in one hand and dragged Lee with the other nearly causing Lee to spill his tray more then once. Tobi brought Lee to the table of popular people he sat with everyday and Made Lee to sit next To Him. Neji was beside Lee and offered a small smile. Tobi giggled. "Neji likes Lee!" Tobi announced to the table. Lee blushed and Neji frowned but didn't say anything. Tobi continued, "Tobi knows cause Tobi heard Neji talking to Pink haired girl about it!" Lee gulped down the lump in his throat he decided he better not attempt to eat when he felt this strangling feeling in his chest. Another boy reached over and yanked Tobi away from the table. He looked almost like Tobi's twin except he had no facial scars and he wore these ridiculous glasses that looked like goggles. Neji cleared his throat, "How have you been feeling Lee. I hope you're feeling better." Lee nodded and blushed.
"LEE LIKES NEJI TOO! TOBI CAN TELL!" Tobi screamed as his 'almost-twin' wrestled him away from the table slapping his hand over the boisterous mouth that was still shouting, "Neji and Lee are sooooo-Mmph!"
"Be quiet Tobi, that is very rude," The other boy snapped.
"Let him go Obito," Sakura chided, "We all know Neji's twiterpated so there's no use in stopping Tobi from shouting it." Obito let go of his cousin. He frowned at her, "Twiterpated?"
"Infatuated, crushing on, lusting after," Sakura defined. Lee blushed crimson and tried to hide his face. Neji's frown deepened. There was no point in humiliating the boy…or him for that matter. Neji opened his mouth to say something but then Lee got up and quickly left. He was wiping tears away from his eyes as he ran from the cafeteria…
…
…Gaara watched the scene unfold he didn't know weather to laugh (which he seldom did) or to growl at the insinuation that the cute raven liked the brunette. When Lee ran out he followed at a casual pace. It would not be hard to find the boy. He would confront the odd creature and make his intensions clear…
…
…Lee ran into the bathroom slamming the door open. Fortunately for him there was nobody on the other side of the door or they would have probably gotten a broken nose. He ran into the last stall and slammed the door behind him. Lee could take a lot of things but not that. Why? Why did he have to be picked on about relationships and his looks? He couldn't help that he was different that was just how he was. He blinked back tears and breathed out a shaky sigh.
"Come out of there," A husky voice called. Lee looked down and only saw a pair of black combat boots and baggy black jeans. He shook his head but said nothing in response to the order.
"…" The other person tapped his big boot impatiently.
"Are you coming out?" The other asked again.
"No," Lee gave a watery answer. The other said nothing, but lee heard a metallic click and then to his horror the lock on the stall door was turning. The door swung open and there stood the boy from that morning, "Come out of there now." His voice was husky and soft but didn't have a patent note in it. Lee could tell that is would not be a good idea to disobey the boy. He saw the flash of metal. The boy followed Lee's gaze to his hand where a switch blade was held. He closed it and tucked it away. Lee felt a need to run, but his path was blocked by this boy. He wasn't much taller then Lee, but he seemed to have a stronger build. Lee knew martial arts but he was in a tight space not good for defending especially if this other dangerous looking boy got his knife back out.
The redhead made an impatient sounding grunt before he stepped into the stall. Lee was sitting. His eyes fell on the boy's chest. "You aren't stupid are you?" Lee didn't answer. He asked another question, "Are you deaf?"
Lee shook his head had tried to look away but his chin was caught in a rough hand. He was turned toward the other boy who leaned in as he was looking into Lee's eye his thumb began to move over his jaw line gently.
This other boy smiled ever so slightly, "You are unusual, but I like unusual things. What's your name?"
"Lee," He gasped out as he felt another hand going behind him and urging him forward.
"I like that name. Lee you are mine now," Gaara's tone brooked no room for argument or disagreement. He leaned in and pressed his lips to Lee's. Lee pushed against him but Gaara was stronger. Gaara smirked as he broke their kiss. He leaned into Lee's neck and began nibbling at the tender flesh that was just above his collar bone.
…Neji was pissed. If his friends were out to ruin his chances with Lee they were doing an excellent job of it. He got up and left the Cafeteria. He wanted to apologize to Lee for what had happened. He passed the boys restroom and heard someone shouting…
"Stop it!" Lee pounded on Gaara's chest. Gaara bit him hard, not enough to draw blood but certainly there was going to be a bruise. He was so freaked out. This couldn't be happening to him, "No! Not again! He slammed the heel of his foot into Gaara's foot.
Gaara only chuckled, "I'm wearing steel toed boots. Now relax I'm not going to hurt you."
"No! Stop!" Lee pushed Gaara off of him and tried to run only to be caught around the middle and hauled into Gaara's lap. He went back to his task of making hickies on Lee's once pristine neck…
Neji went in only to see if everything was alright. He saw a pair of green sneakers with a white stripe hanging out of the last stall. He instantly thought of Lee was this person the H that had left that nasty note.
"Let him go?" He bellowed in his baritone. He ran to the stall to see Lee trying to pull this creepy looking goth kid off of him. The goth had his face buried in Lee's neck. Neji grabbed Gaara's arm in a bruising hold and pried it away from Lee's stomach. Gaara let go of Lee and the boy jumped off of him.
Neji pushed Lee behind him and stared down the other boy, "Just what did you think you were doing?"
"I was marking my property," Gaara answered in an even, almost amused, sounding tone.
"Lee doesn't belong to you?" Neji stomped, "He's not yours!"
"Whose is he then? Yours?" Gaara let a cold laugh escape his lips, "I saw you two together. He won't let you touch him. I don't like many people so when someone catches my eye I take them. I like Lee."
Neji guffawed in shock, "You can't just TAKE SOMEONE!"
Lee blinked back tears this was so bad. His neck really hurt to. He chanced a glance in the mirror and saw the pink and purple marks from Gaara's lips and teeth. He backed away from the two other boys and slipped out the door.
"You let my property escape," Gaara glared at him. Neji shivered at the cold hatred in the boy's eyes.
"He's not yours, you just stay away from him," Neji warned before he turned and stomped out.
Gaara let out a crazy chuckle. He was having more fun then he imagined he would at this new school…
{BTW! I didn't make up the word twiterpated, watch "Bambi." Bambi was a ridiculous name for a buck, but its better then naming a male skunk Flower I guess. What the hell was wrong with Walt Disney?}
