Summary: Gaara and Sasuke are in love with Naruto, Naruto can't decide. How will things work out? ( summary sux...it's pointless)Iadded a twist on things for all the new readers.
Disclaimers: lazEbum doesn't own Naruto, but she wish she owned Gaara for my own pleasure. . . . But I shall not talk about that. Also,. I got a lot of my ideas from you guys ...SO FLAME ME! I'll just make s' mores! (Get it, s'more, some – more? Like some more ficcs.......okaaaay, that wasn't funny.;;)
p.s I'll try to make my chapters as long as I can but if I don't, don't hate me for that cuz then I'll cry.
On with the story:
Naruto arrived late to class; he was soaked to the bone. "Naruto!" An angry Iruka said stopping the lecture he was giving. "Yes." was Naruto simple reply
"Its raining outside and you decide to come late and not to carry an umbrella?!"
"Well, my umbrella is dead and I woke up late. I didn't know it was going to rain, it didn't matter anyway because I don't get sick."
Naruto got a few chuckles from the other students. Which made him grin widely.
With a sigh Iruka directed Naruto to take his seat. As he went up the stairs he took a seat next to Shikamaru. Him and Naruto had just begun talking. At first, Naruto thought he was a just a big mouth idiot and a lazy bum, but after a not so big fight Naruto had grown use to him.
"Late again I see?" Shikamaru whispered as Naruto took a seat next to him.
"Yep. Actually I wasn't going to come today because I knew we weren't going to do any thing fun because of the rain."
"Heh. We'll I'm glad you did, Ikura – sensei is so tiresome.
"Everything is tiresome to you."
'I sat in my usual seat and stared at nothing in particular. Then my eyes, travel a little to the left, then a little more, then a little, little, some more, and guess who they land on, Sauke! Yeah, he's my best good friend now. Or at least, next to Gaara, and a few others .. I think '
"Hey, Naruto!" Shikamaru whispered way to loudly and swaying his hand in my face.
"yes?"
"You was all spaced out and shit."
"Was not"-I started.
Ikura had interrupted our conversation. "Naruto for the fifth time, that's not you're seat that is. He said pointing next to Sasuke." I almost forgot I really did sit next to him.
"Aw man, but-"I said trying to play it off.
"Now!" Ikura said and stomped his foot.
"Alright, don't get so emotional Sensei" I got up and slowly walked across the room.
"Dobe" Sasuke whispered as soon as I took my seat, and then began to listen to what the teacher was saying.
"Ass hole" I whispered back softly. Sasuke grinned a little bit. And I knew we both slightly blushed after that.
'Sometimes Sasuke and I talk outside of school work and ninja stuff, although he's very boring he's opening up to me with out even knowing himself.'
Ikura continued his lecture. After class, I was going to wait for Shikamaru but he had already left with Chouji. His fat – ass was always with him. Sakura and Ino had gotten over Sasuke and had became friends again. Neji was always off in his own world. I was usually left with no one. No one cared... It was a Friday too. With a pout I walked out of the building.
"Hey, dobe."
I turned around knowing who'd face, and I was correct it was Sasuke staring at me, and not as cold as he usually does.
"What's up?" Naruto questioned hoping that he'd wanted them to do something together.
"You wanna hang out?" Naruto tried his best to make it seem like he didn't want to.
"Well, I might have plans...... "Naruto tried his best to give a snobby look.
"Suit your self, I'm heading to the "ramen bar."
"Since when do you eat ramen?!"
Sasuke's cheeks turned a little red and he didn't respond.
"Never mind, who gives a fuck!!" Naruto didn't notice the redness and quickly grabbed onto Sasuke arm and dragged him to the bar widely grinning
"Your treat right?" Naruto grinning widely.
"Yeah, this time only."
"Oh goody. Ramen! Ramen! Ramen! Ramen! RAMEN! RA-
"SHUT UP!" Sasuke growled.
After eating, Naruto and Sasuke sat on an abandoned rooftop. It was mid- evening.
"Sasuke? "Naruto said facing Sasuke.
"What dobe?" Sasuke said changing his position.
"Are, are we friends?"
"Humph" Sasuke crossed his arms tightly.
"Well?" Naruto said leaning closer, even more anxious to know.
"..."
"C'mon, admit it damnit!" Naruto said with a cheesy grin. Before Naruto could blink Sasuke had moved so close that even a slight sigh would have made theirs lips touch. 'Gasp! What is Sasuke openinging his mouth for and why is he so close, is he about to....kiss... omg! Omg! What if he wants to rape me?! Omg! Omg! I might lose my sweet virginity ..........wait, we are just friends right?!
'what the fudge am I about to admit here?! Panicking, Sasuke pulled back before anything happened and left the "crime" scene.
Naruto walked home slowly dragging his feet. He could not get why Sasuke wanted to kiss him, out his mind. ' I never knew he had feelings for me, come to think of it Sasuke is sexy as hell but... "Damn!" something just didn't feel right.'
"Who should I tell? Not kakashi sensei? Naruto was pacing back and fourth in his room, half dizzy. "Definitely not Sakura- Chan,"
"Ino?.... She'd tell the whole village.!"
"Ikura? He'd kill Sasuke."
"Shikamaru?... It'll be too bothersome."
"Neji?.... He'd say it was fate." Naruto laughed, and then shook his head.
"Rock?.... nope. Who!!?" Light bulb
"How could I've forgoten." Naruto dashed off to see his almost forgotten friend.
"Hey, Gaara! ya home!" Naruto yelled while banging on the door loudly.
"Who is it?" The sand- nin said coldy on the other side.
Naruto felt a strong urge to say "you're motha" but knew that kinda offended them both, plus now wasn't the time. So he simply gave his name "Naruto"
"What dyu want"
"Open the door I gotta talk." Naruto wined
And Gaara slowly opened the door."Bout time" Naruto yelled and pounced on Gaara bringing them both down Gaara just stared his normal eerie stare. But it was obvious he was happy.
Naruto gave a big grin, then turned it into a frown "So,.... aren't you forgetting to ask me whats up?"
"I wasn't planning to do so"
"Well.........Sasuke almost kissed me."
Gaara eyes widen a little, due to shock. "Really? That Uchiha kid?
"Yeah, I don't know why though, we were just eating lunch and I asked him if we were friends."
"Well, apparently he likes you."
"Uh uhn! That dumb- ass would never admit something like that! Maybe.......it was an accident, yeah, he could've tripped or something. Oh my gawsh! Naruto slapped is face with both of his hands. What if he 'did' mean it?! "Arghhh!! This makes no since!"
"Yeah it does."
No it does'nt , he must've had his regrets because he never actually kissed me and he ran away.
"oh, ........whelp, you fucked this up on your own." Gaara said carelessly.
"Don't say that!" Naruto demanded. "And why the hell are you acting so relaxed about this?! Last time I told you I liked Sakura-Chan you wanted to kill her"
"Because, I hated that bitch! Sasuke too, but I'm cool now, he didn't kiss you, anyway, you acted as if I'm supposed to care?"
"Well, I wish you would." Naruto said shyly poking his two index fingers together.
"Since when do I show "concerness" anyway?!"
Naruto turned around slightly, and reached in his back pocket and pulled out a small calendar, "Let's see...Saturday I got a big ass cut and you healed it. Friday I was afraid I'd fail my exam and you came over to help me out – even though I still failed- Tuesday I asked you to help me make some money, Monday I asked –
"Okay, okay I get your point! Look, I do 'care' about you but not this situation."
"How can you say that? Yeah, I like Sasuke, he's sexy but so is ramen, Neji, me- when I become a hokage-, Kiba...oh, and there's you and, your sister.
Gaara stared at Naruto in total astonishment at that last remark. Naruto caught it and changed it around. "Ok, not really."
At this point Gaara was extremely annoyed, he actually felt a little sleepy. With a large sigh, he cupped Naruto's cheek in his hand and gave him a peck on the lips.
"kuso, Naruto" he said lazily as he broke it quickly and leaned back.
Naruto closed his eyes into slits and pouted "What the hell was that for, and your acting a a little to OOC for my liking?!"
"............so you'd shut up"
"You're no help!". Naruto yelled playfully and got up and offered Gaara a hand as well.
"But it worked, what? You don't like my kisses?" Gaara asked, while accepting the hand.
"I'm not answering that." Naruto said blankly.
"okay ....So are you leaving?" Gaara insisted on insisting.
"Yeah"
"Good"
"Fine!" Naruto said catching an attitude.
"Fine!" Gaara shot back.
"Maybe I won't 'ever' come back!" Naruto yelled.
"Ok!" Gaara said with a slight raise in his voice.
Naruto frowned heavily then, let out a huge grin. "Well see ya tomorrow" He waved. Gaara also returned the smile, watching Naruto walk out.
When Naruto arrived home, he fell face first on his couch and went to sleep.
