It's was a normal boring Sunday afternoon. Gaara, a sixteen-year-old, was sitting in a library near his school. He had nothing to do. He loved reading books and loved to be alone. All by himself. There was no one to disturb him while reading when he was alone. There was nobody to comment on his behavior or his style. Only him, the bookstore, the books, and his imagination. That was enough for him and he loved it. That what he thought love is.
Gaara never had the chance to experience real love. He didn't have a mother to look after him, nor did he got any attention or affection from his father. His siblings were afraid of him. He had no one to ask what love means. Although he has a breathing father and siblings who were alive, they didn't care about him, would avoid him, or are afraid of him. Gaara hated it. It was pathetic. He couldn't understand it.
Why would they hate, avoid, or be afraid of him? He couldn't understand. Only because he has a small personality slip. It wasn't his fault for having a darker personality. All people have a bad they at least once in their whole life. The student in his school would pick on him for missing eyebrows or would run away like his siblings. Some people ignore him, show him disrespect, or hurt him.
There was a time where Gaara would have fought back, but it all changed. He changed. The people around him changed. They wouldn't stop the way they treated him because they thought it was funny or wanted to be one of the cool bully kids. Gaara didn't understand. Whenever he walked inside the place he gets bullied, depression, anxiety, stress, or trauma is also known as school he pretended to be better than them.
He pretended that the words and their behavior didn't bother him in the slightest. But once he was home he would look in the mirror and cry. Cry alone by himself where no one was able to hear him. He would have cried for someone or something to pull him out of his miserable life of being bullied, feared, neglected, and alone. Having panic attacks at random times didn't make it any better and his fear of blood was getting worst. He couldn't see blood anymore but his other personality loved it.
His other personality Love which Gaara called it, was different. They loved blood and seeing the same people suffering and suffocating who bullied him. They loved seeing people beg for mercy or being left alone. Love was something Gaara didn't have. He called his other self Love because he wouldn't be as lonely as he was right now if he had one person in this world who loved him. Loved him for what he was and not for what he had. He didn't care who. He just wanted to be loved.
He was flipping through the pages of the book he was reading until his phone rang. It was no message nor was it a call to come home. It was a reminder to go home and study for school. His father wouldn't have the time to look after him. Not even talking to him. It would be too troublesome. His siblings wouldn't do that either. Why would they when they could just avoid him at any cost? Gaara sighed. The book he was reading was very interesting although he didn't understand what it was about.
The book was called "Love like Romeo and Juliet". He of course heard about the dramatic love story of Romeo and Juliet but love? He read through the first two chapters each chapter has at least 4000 words. The book was good. If he could he would buy it or ask the author how they thought about such a book. Where did this idea come from? But not only did love confused him, but the characters also did too. They confused him pretty much.
It wasn't like a normal love story you could read in all these romance books, comics, and manga but a different better type of love. The main characters who were in love with each other were both males. Male relationship was disgusting, disrespectful, not normal, or hating on God. Most people in this society hated same-sex relationships but Gaara did not understand. Love is love, right? If he ever meets the author he would ask them why they chose the story to be about a same-sex relationship.
Gaara stood up from where he was sitting and walked towards the counter where a tall older man with long spikey white hair was standing. "I would like to borrow this book, " said Gaara to the man. The man looked at Gaara then to the book and back to Gaara. "What about the Ischa-Ischa book? It's way better than this book, " said the white-haired man but Gaara shook his head no. The red-headed teen didn't want to read the book the man recommended to him.
"I want this one. I like it better and I don't know why I should read about two people falling in love on the first page and having sex the rest of chapters, " said Gaara, and the man sighed. "But it's a good book kid. Everybody likes it. Even Kakashi, " reasoned the man but Gaara shook his head again. Just because everybody else loved something, didn't mean that he had to like it too. He looked at the man one more time before he spoke. "Please, I have to hurry home, Sensei, " said Gaara, and the man took the book as he nodded.
"Should have said it earlier, brat. But if you are that interested in that little book of yours, then come over tomorrow and I will show you something, " said the white-haired man. "Ok, I will. Thank you Jiraya-Sensei, " thanked Gaara and the man now known as Jiraya flashed him a smile. Jiraya handled him the book and Gaara took it. He said his goodbyes and walked out of the store. Just as he was about to walk out he bumped into someone.
He looked at the man. He had a face mask on and a hat to cover his hair. The slightly older man said a quick apology and walked back inside leaving an unbothered Gaara. He stood up and brushed the dirt from his jeans. Gaara picked the book from the floor and walked to his house. On his way there, he met a few of his bullies. He ignored them and walked past them but today wasn't his lucky day. Kami had something planned for him.
One of the bullies, Inuzuka Kiba, walked to him and took the book. Gaara looked with wide eyes at him. "Give it back, " he said as he glared at him but Kiba laughed. Not only was he a bully but he was the class clone and had to do his part. He read the title of the book and started to laugh. "What is that for a book? Love like Romeo and Juliet? Haha, this is so sad even for you, " Kiba teased him.
Love had enough and suddenly took over Gaara's whole body. His eyes changed and his aura changed. His glare got intense and he ribbed the book away from Kiba and walked away. Kiba should have been happy that Love didn't attack him but only took the book and walked away. Love continued to walk to their and Gaara's house not caring about Gaara's appearance. Some people avoided them. They looked too scary. As they reached Gaara's house they let Gaara took his body again.
Gaara had no idea what happened and didn't question it. He simply walked to his room and sat on his chair, pulling out his textbooks and excise books. He started with Japanese and finished with calculus. His eyes traveled to the watch on his arm and he sighed. He missed dinner. Again. But he didn't care. His family didn't care either so why should he care? Gaara then put all his books back inside the bag and looked at the book he borrowed from the library.
He decided to continue reading it. He had nothing else to do. It was 10.30 pm and he couldn't sleep anyway. So he sat on his bed and continue reading. Each page of the book got better and improved. He read everything and soaked every single word like a sponge. The book kept getting interesting and he couldn't handle to stop reading just yet.
"What will the others think about us? Won't they hate us for loving each other?" he said. "No one can judge us from loving each other. Let's go and be ourselves. I want to be with you and only you, " he answered back. "I love you too but what about you? What about your family? Our family? Our village?" he questioned him as he cried. The other boy tried to soothe him by saying that everything is going to be alright.
"Look, whatever happens, I will always love you. So don't leave me, " said the boy as he hugged him. They looked at each other and were two inches away from kissing each other but then suddenly- Gaara was interrupted by his phone. He looked at the time and shot up from his bed. He was too concentrated on the book that he didn't notice it was time to go to school. He walked to the bathroom which was linked to his room and took a quick shower and brushed his teeth.
He dressed in loose jeans, a basic white shirt, and a pullover. He put in his white shoes and grabbed his bag skipping breakfast and walked to school with his book in his bag. He walked alone like always, headphones on, and his same favorite song playing over and over again. This was his normal life and he loved it. He thought he loved it.
On the other side of Tokyo, a young tall boy woke up to his alarm clock. He threw it towards the wall and stretch the sleep away. He looked around the room and sighed. The teen stood up unwillingly and walked to the bathroom to take a long and satisfying warm shower. He would normally take a short and cold shower but today was his first day of school. He wasn't familiar with schools but his guardian forced him to go.
The teen took was a sweet time and brushed his teeth. As he finished the hygiene part he dressed in black pants and a shirt including a dark sweatshirt. He added body chains on his pants and rings or his fingers would be naked. An earring on his left ear and a necklace. He styled his blonde curls up and looked in the mirror. The teen turned around and was satisfied with his outfit. He walked out of the room with his black bag to the kitchen.
He sad sat down and ate breakfast. His guardian wasn't there to look over him. His two years older brother too wasn't there to eat with him but he didn't mind. It meant that he could take his time. He ate slowly not really caring if he's going to be late or not and stood up. Placing the plates in the sink and washing them. The boy walked back to his room and got a black mask. He felt like something was missing and remembered.
His make-up. He drew a small black heart over his cheek underneath his right eye and smiled. He was ready. The teen walked to the corridor and put on his shoes. He took the keys and locked the house. The teen boy pulled out his phone and earphones and played his music playlist. He didn't care what other people would think about him wearing makeup. He wore it because he liked it. He looked cute that way. With his mask on and his headphones plugged in, he walked to school.
He somehow managed to reach school before it started. He sighed and looked at the time. He had five minutes left until the first lesson began. The teen walked inside the school building not paying much attention to the students who were eye raping him and walked to the principal. As he reached the principal's office he knocked on the door a few times and entered after he heard a come in.
He walked in and was met by an older man with a white beard and white to almost no hair. He sat on the chair and nodded his head. His mask still on his face as his blue eyes looked at the principal. "I'm so happy that you finally decided to come to school, " said the principal, and the boy sighed. "It's not like I had a choice old man, " he joked and they both laughed. He handled him his schedule and the boy looked over it.
His first class was two hours of Japanese with Hatake Kakashi. Then two hours of calculus with Umino Iruka. After that one-hour biology with Orochimaru. And lunch break was planned next. He has about one hour and a half time to eat. He continued to read. His last four classes were literature with Hatake Kakashi and Jiraya and History with Uchiha Madara. The teen sighed. He was happy that he didn't have sport on his first day of school.
He was a smart boy but he sometimes could be as silly as bread. He was taught by University professors and an extra athlete. The boy nodded his head and stood up with the principal. They walked to his first class and knocked on the door. Hatake Kakashi was surprisingly early and had already started the class as the principal Hiruzen walked in with the young boy. All eyes were on the boy. They looked over him and studied his body. Hiruzen nodded once and walked outside.
"My name is Hatake Kakashi and I am your Japanese and literature teacher, " he introduced himself. The blonde nodded his head. Kakashi was only a little bit taller than the boy. He too wore a mask to cover his face. "Please introduce yourself to the class and let them asked you questions, " he said and sat on his chair pulling out his ischa-ischa book. He was in his own world as he read the book for the 100th time.
The blonde looked at the man as rolled his eyes. He then turned his attention to the class. He put down his mask and spoke. "Hello, class. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I am still fifteen years old and I have been homeschooled since class one. My older brother attends this school and is in his last year, " said the teen now known as Naruto. Hands shot up and the boy sighed. He looked around the classroom and picked a boy with brown hair.
The boy had red triangles on his cheek and fangs. "Why do you have these markings on your face?" asked the boy. Naruto rolled his eyes. "Rude aren't you? Asking me a private question before you introduce yourself, dog breathe. I can smell it from here, " said Naruto and the class laughed. The boy blushed because he was embarrassed and angry at the same time. "Fine! My name is Inozuka Kiba and now answer my question fox boy, " spat Kiba.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "These are whiskers. Or birthmark call it what you want, " he answered and then pointed at to a blonde girl. She had long plain blonde hair in a high ponytail and beautiful eyes. She stood up and asked her question. "My name is Yamanaka Ino. My question is why do you wear make-up?" she asked him and most of the other students' hands went down. Naruto expected this question.
"I wear it because I can. It suits me and I look good in it don't I? Or am I imagining you eye raping me?" he said and she blushed. She sat back down and covered her face. He then looked around and spotted a guy with a weird hairstyle. He pointed at him. The boy only said two words and Naruto burst out in laugher. The boy looked at him angrily. "Why are you laughing at me?" he asked him.
"I'm sorry but your hairstyle and your voice are too funny. I don't want to voice shame you but shouldn't your voice be somewhat stable? And your hair? Wait give me a second, " said Naruto and brought out his phone. He tapped something inside his phone and turned it around. "Your hair looks like a duck butt, " he said and continued to laugh the class joined him and even the teacher chuckled a bit. The raven was mad and was about to yell at him as the blonde's persona suddenly changed.
"Ok enough. Continue. I don't have the whole day time to listen to your voice and looking at a duck's butt, " said Naruto seriously and Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Why are you wearing that kind of clothes?" Sasuke asked. Naruto looked at his clothes and back to Sasuke. "Maybe because it's nice and I like it? Have you ever heard of style?" Naruto asked him. Sasuke was red. He was angry and was about to attack him as their teacher spoke.
"Naruto. Please sit down where ever you want to, " said Kakashi and Naruto nodded. He walked to the last role and sat next to a red-haired boy. He didn't pay much attention to him or the class. He was in his own world overthinking the meaning of life. Gaara looked at the boy next to him. He saw that he wasn't paying attention. His eyes were unfocused. He turned back to class and took notes.
It was strange to sit next to someone. He always sat alone and thought that this boy might have made a mistake. He was sure that he would not sit next to him next time after hearing rumors about him. He sighed and hoped for the class to end. He finished he had literature and could read his book. It was the only class he was allowed to read. Gaara was literally the only one who liked to read. He didn't like to write because he knew his writings aren't good enough so he gave up and reads.
It was finally the end of class and Gaara stood up. He noticed the boy next to him asleep and wondered if he should wake him up but he didn't. Why would he? He wasn't all too interested in the boy and sighed as he walked away. On his way out he saw a few people around the blonde but continued to walk away anyway. He didn't even talk to that person so it was none of his business. He walked to his next class.
Naruto woke up as the students circled him. He looked at them and raised a brow. "I can help you?" questioned Naruto. Normal people would ask if they can help but he asked that he could help. "Yes, you can, " answered the blonde girl from earlier. "And what can I help you with?" he asked them again and she smiled. "Talk about yourself. Do you have a girlfriend? Or do you want to be friends?" asked another person and Naruto sighed. This will take a while.
It was lunchtime and Naruto was searching for a spot to sit. He spotted a sleeping boy who was in his class and sat next to him. The boy looked up to him and mumbled a quite troublesome. He didn't expect the boy to hear what he said and to answer but he did. "Says the guy who sleeps in the cafeteria, " said Naruto as he digs in his food. The boy sat straight and looked at him with a raised brow. "What? I have ears, " said Naruto and the boy rolled his eyes.
"My name is Nara Shikamaru, " introduced the boy. Naruto nodded his head and continued to eat. A few moments later another boy joined them. Naruto didn't pay attention to him until he spoke. "My name is Akamichi Choji, nice to meet you, " said the boy and Naruto looked at him. The boy was a bit chubby and had spikey hair. He looked friendly. Naruto swallowed his food and smiled at him. "Hey, mine's Uzumaki Naruto. Nice to meet you too, " he said and ate.
Choji also digs in his food and swallowed everything. He was finished and looked at his friend's untouched food. "May I have a bit?" he asked Shikamaru who only nodded his head. Choji smiled and took his friend's plate. Naruto was finished and got another plate. He saw that Choji wasn't full yet and gave him his plate. "Here, you can have mine too, " said Naruto and Choji smiled at him. "Shikamaru, I like him. He's a nice guy, Choji said happily as he dug in the food again.
Naruto smiled at them and walked out. He walked to the rooftop to have his free time. He didn't want to talk to anyone but these two were fine. He reached to the top and search for a nice spot to stay. He found one and sat down. He pulled out his phone and set an alarm. Naruto closed his eyes and start to think. To overthink. Gaara forgot his book in class and was too lazy to go back. He thought about having lunch.
He sighed and went to the cafeteria. He took his food and walked to the rooftop. Gaara walked to his usual place and saw someone lying there. He walked closer and saw the blonde from earlier. He sighed and sat near him. Gaara didn't mind him there. He ate in silence. He took his time because no one was waiting for him anyway. Gaara ate his salad slowly enjoying it and moved on to the main dish. As he was finished he but his plate to the site.
A sigh escaped his lips. "What's the matter? You keep sighing, " said Naruto his eyes still closed. Gaara jumped a bit and looked at Naruto. He didn't know how to interact with people at all. He was afraid that Love would take over but then again. Why should he care? He kept looking at Naruto and sighed again. He had no energy to respond. Naruto must know it and walk away like everyone else but he didn't.
"Lay down and close your eyes, " said Naruto and Gaara did as he was told. He couldn't believe it. He obeyed somebody just like that. And he can't meet him. Gaara didn't even have a chance to talk to him. He closed his eyes. His mind was blanc. He felt empty. The red-haired just wanted to read his book. Suddenly an alarm went on. Gaara was startled by the sound. Naruto lazily opened his eyes and turned off the alarm. He stood up and stretched.
"Let's go. We have class, " he said and walked towards the door. Gaara didn't respond and followed suit. They walked down the stairs into the building and went to their classroom. As they entered they saw their teachers already sitting on their chairs. Gaara sat down and Naruto sat next to him. He pulled out the book he read and continued to read while Naruto was spacing out. He searched for the paragraph he was reading and found it.
"Look, whatever happens, I will always love you. So don't leave me, " said the boy as he hugged him. They looked at each other and were two inches away from kissing each other but then suddenly- Gaara again got interrupted as Sasuke grabbed his book. "What are you reading?" Sasuke teased him. Kiba took this as a signal to play along. "Oh, it's the book from yesterday, " he said and Gaara glared at him.
Sasuke flipped the book and read the title. "What the fuck is this? I have heard of this book and it's about gay fagots making out. It's so disgusting. Now, I know that you are a monster and a disgusting fag, " said Sasuke loudly. The class started to laugh and the teachers were about to speak when someone else spoke. "So what? Let him do what he wants to do. It's not your life after all or am I wrong, " said Naruto his eyes closed.
"What was that, " said Sasuke angrily as he was about to punch him. "You heard me duck butt. I said let him do what he wants to do. And I don't think you heard of his book. I think you read it and it's in your room under your bed right next to your wardrobe in a small black box. And I bet it's locked up and you read it whenever someone is asleep in your household, " said Naruto, and Sasuke's eyes widened. From where did he know? He couldn't show his shock.
Naruto smirked. Before Sasuke could answer him Jiraya spoke up. "Shut up brat. We are starting class now, " he said and Naruto rolled his eyes. "Ok, ok. Ero-Senin" said Naruto and Jiraya threw a book at him which he could dodge easily. Kakashi walked towards Sasuke and gently took the book. "Actually class. This book is the next book we will read, " he said as he gave them a closed eye smile. "What!" they all shouted excluding five people.
"Yes, you heard me. I have bought you all this book so I want you to give me the money for it, " he added and they rolled their eyes. Both Jiraya and Kakashi gave each student a book. "I want you to read the first chapter and tell me what you think, " said Jiraya as he smiled at them. They rolled their eyes but started reading. Gaara wasn't allowed to read. "Why can't I continue reading?" he asked his teachers and they smiled at him.
"I bet you are almost finished with the book right, " said Jiraya but Gaara shook his head. "No, I'm only in chapter 5," he said and they looked at him. "How come? You are a fast reader, " asked Kakashi as he eyed him. Gaara pointed at the book and they opened it. The font was pretty small but readable. One page could be five pages and they understood. "Still, you can't continue reading. We will read it together. Just reread it, " said Kakashi and he nodded.
Kakashi gave him his book back and walked to his chair. Naruto looked at Gaara. He noticed it and turned around to look at him. Gaara's face was blanc he didn't know what to do. "You like that book?" Naruto finally asked him. Gaara looked at the book and back to Naruto. He nodded his head slowly. "Oh that's cool I guess. Did you read the other two books?" he asked him but Gaara shook his head no.
He didn't know the other two books. He didn't even know which books he was talking about. "Oh, ok then, " said Naruto and he closed his eyes. Gaara looked at him longer and looked back to his book. He didn't understand this boy. After thirty minutes Kakashi spoke. "So, how do you like this book so far?" he asked them. None of them were paying attention. The book they read was too interesting. Each word soaked them more in the story.
Each sentence looked nice and each paragraph was amazing. Kakashi smiled a bit and spoke again. "It's break time, " he said and a few heads shot to him. "Ok, brats. It's enough, " yelled Jiraya and they stopped reading. "So how do you like this book?" he asked them and they blushed. They were caught loving a book they talk trash about. None of them said anything and Jiraya smirked. "Ok guys. We will have a small partner work on this book. The same-sex will do the partner work, " he announced.
They rolled their eyes. At least they could pick their friends. "I want you guys to find more information about the author and their works. That's it you may continue to read, " said Kakashi as he sat down. They immediately started reading after finding their partners. Gaara had no partner. It was normal. The teachers were ok with it. "Let's work together, " said Naruto. His eyes closed as his face faced the ceiling. Gaaravlooked at him and sighed. He agreed to it anyway and continue reading.
After the lesson, the students went their way to the last class for today. Naruto walked inside his history classroom and saw his teacher already sitting there looking like a judge with an attitude. He didn't pay him much attention and sat down. The teacher was looking at him from top to bottom his face making strange grimaces. "Do you wanna take a picture and continue judging me Mr. Uchiha or will you do it in class?" he asked him.
Madara shot him a glare but it didn't flatter him. He then smirked. He liked that boy. "Tell me, boy, what do you know about war?" he asked him. Naruto's eyes were closed. It seemed like he was asleep and Madara was about to wake him up as he spoke. "War is something stupid, " he began. Madara raised his brow. What that all he knew? Or was he just pretending to be one of those popular guys?
"People start wars because they think they can win. They kill each other for land, money, women, and power. Men are leaving their families thinking it's a good idea to fight for something as stupid as the wars. They lose their lives and family. Their money and houses. For what? Power? No, all they get are embarrassment and pity. You can only pity these people going into war thinking they have done something important, " said Naruto.
Marada walked closer to him. "Why do you think that?" he asked him. He was interested in the boy. The way he spoke. The words he used had some kind of affection and you wanted to hear more. "Imagine going into war because you want money. You spent all your money on people sending them to fight and kept asking yourself why you don't have enough money? Are you mad? Why even start a war when all you get is pity?" Naruto asked him. Madara really liked this boy.
"And what do you think about the war we had in Konoha? The war between Senju and Uchiha?" Madara asked him. He was curious. This boy's opinion seemed logical. "I think it's was pathetic. Two best friends ending up like enemies instead of lovers? That's ridiculous. I do not understand why the Uchihas started this useless fight when the Uchiha couldn't even beat his best friend, " said Naruto and Madara glared at him. He hated this boy.
"Why did he start this war. They could have talked it out and made love with each other. Or they should have just slept with each other and everything would be fine. The Uchiha's younger brother wouldn't have been killed although the Senju's younger brother would still be a jealous racist. He was just in life with him but couldn't have him. That's why he killed the brother and ruined their friendship, " Naruto continued.
"I don't care if they had the same sex. They were obviously in life with each other. You cannot deny it. But whatever. What I do not understand was why you survived. Shouldn't you be dead?" Naruto asked Madara as he opened his eyes. He narrowed his eyes at the teen. "Are you a real human or just a brain in a body? Are you an experiment from Orochi?" he asked him. Madara sighed. This boy was something else.
"I see, you know me, " he finally said. "So I was right. You are gay, " said Naruto playfully earning a glare from his teacher. "Don't worry I won't tell anyone. It's not my business anyway. But if you are sexually active let's met up and tell me what happened. I bet you would have bottomed for the Senju, " said Naruto earning another glare. Before they could continue their little talk the bell rang and the students walked in.
Madara turned back to Naruto and sighed. "Please stay longer after the lesson. I need to talk to you, " he said and Naruto nodded. "I will daddy, " he teased and winked at him a smirk clearly on his face. The students who had seen it gasped. Naruto rolled his eyes and smiled. He maybe like school. He could maybe feel relaxed. All he did was sleeping and overthinking anyway. It wasn't all too different from what he did as he was still at home.
Madara started the class with a quick test. Most students failed it. He then started to teach the class something about wars. He had was addicted to wars. He was war had himself. He ended the class after the bell rang and Naruto stayed longer. "When do you have time? You said I should talk about my sex life with you, " said Madara. He thought that Naruto was joking and decided to tease him and play along. "This Saturday. Around 1 pm. Let's meet here in school. See ya, " he said but before he walked away gave him his number.
He walked out of the building and saw Gaara. Ge walked over to him and tapped his shoulder. Gaara turned around and looked at him. "Do you have time right now? I want to do our project, " he said. Gaara thought about it but then shook his head. "No, Jiraya-Sensei said I should come to the bookstore after school, " he answered him. He was ready to walk away as Naruto smiled at him. "Then I will tag along, " he said and started to walk off.
Gaara said nothing and walked alongside him. The walk to the bookstore did take a while. They walked in comfortable silence. Neither of them said anything. They didn't want to ruin the moment. And even Love didn't want to ruin it. Gaara and Naruto reached the bookstore also known as the big library near the school where Gaara borrowed his book. They walked in and saw Jiraya standing there.
He turned around as he heard the door and smiled at them. "So, you remember what I said yesterday?" he asked Gaara and he nodded his head. "I have these other two books too, " he said and gave it to him. Gaara looked at the books. He didn't understand. Then he looked back at Jiraya his face blanc. "Brat, these are similar to "A love like Romeo and Juliet". It's in front of the same author. Gaara nodded his head and looked over the books. One had the title "My Juliet" and the other one had the title "Romero, Romeo".
"Thank you, " thanked Gaara. He then looked at Naruto who was standing there like a lost puppy. They sat down at a table and started their research. They found out that the other had more books. "End", "Seems like we weren't meant to be", "Too cold", "Forgotten", "Wreck", "Dear dairy" and the most popular one "Monster". Gaara was stunned. Whoever the other was they liked to write. He wished he had to ideas go write his own books.
"They published many books didn't they?" asked Gaara more to himself than to Naruto. "Yeah. But these are only a few books. As you can read here, it's said that the author had a book where they wrote every single story idea down. And it seems like they aren't finished just yet, " said Naruto, and Gaara nodded his head. They continue to work on the project. It was around 6 pm as Gaara's phone rang.
They stopped their work and looked at the time. Naruto smiled at him and they went home. As Gaara reached his house he had a strange feeling in his chest. Was that what people called love? He didn't understand. What did Naruto do for his heart to react like this? He didn't know. He sat down and did his homework. He went straight to bed not bothering to take a shower and laid there. He was too exhausted to move but couldn't sleep either.
Naruto reached his house and sighed. That Gaara boy seemed interesting. He walked inside and saw his brother in the kitchen eating whatever he could find. He sat next to him and smiled at his brother. "How was school un?" his brother asked him and Naruto sighed. "It was lively. I had stress with a duck butt and a boy u call dog breath. Then there was this girl. And then two other boys I became friends with, " Naruto started and his brother nodded his head.
"Then I have a date with our history teacher on Saturday to talk about his sex life and had a date with a red-headed boy with no eyebrows and a tattoo on his forehead, " said Naruto and his brother began to laugh.
