Chapter Four
Why are you lying?
Naruto lay in bed. That stupid Gaara! How could he be resistant to the harem jutsu? He had said that he didn't like girls. So Gaara liked boys? Gaara was gay? Naruto didn't have a problem with it, just like he didn't have a problem with Iruka and Kakashi being together, or a problem with Sasuke being bi, something that he figured out on his own when Sasuke um... kissed him.
Naruto kicked the covers off. It was so damn hot! Naruto heard something tapping at his window. He rolled over. Probably just a tree branch. The tapping continued. Damn it. Naruto rolled out of bed and dragged himself to the window. He opened it, only to have Gaara suddenly appear, outside then window, hanging upside down, his toes latched over the frame.
You weren't at your spot. said Gaara with a mixture of hurt and worry in his voice.
I was too tired to come tonight. panted a startled a shocked Naruto.
Don't lie. You were never too tired before. What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong and I'm not lying!
Yeah right, and I get eight full hours of sleep every night. Tell me what's wrong. Was it something that happened today?
Sort of.
You really don't like girls?
So... you're gay?
You got a problem with it? growled Gaara from between clenched teeth.
No! Not at all. I was just... thinking, is all.
The two stood for awhile, remaining silent. Suddenly, something came to Gaara. Why hadn't he seen it before?
Why aren't you susceptible to your harem jutsu?
I... I'm immune to my own attacks!
Why are you lying? Friends don't lie to each other.
I'm not! shouted Naruto, his face coloring.
Not my friend? Not lying?
I was... I mean...
Just think about it.
Gaara swung backwards, coming to stand on the roof. Naruto leaned out the window. He knew Gaara would hear him.
Come to our class tomorrow, ok?! he shouted into the vacant alleyway.
Gaara smiled and sat down on the roof, pulling his scarf around his shoulders. He had taken to spending the night up there. Naruto didn't seem to notice and if he did, he didn't mind.
