AN: Well here's the second chapter. I'm still not sure where I'm going with this, so I'll just let my muse take over my body and write whatever. I hope you like it!

And to those who reviewed, thank you so much! I hope that I'll continue to entertain you

"Kiss?" he uttered softly. He looked away. He always wondered what it would feel like to be kissed. He looked back into Naruto's eyes and felt is heart do that thing, where it hurts but in a good way. He nodded softly.

"Close your eyes" Naruto instructed softly. Gaara followed his instruction and waited nervously for the kiss to come.

He felt Naruto's soft breath on his face before something soft and warm brushed his lips. He gasped in surprise. He'd been expecting the brush, but not the feel of electricity that came with it, that seemed to run from his lips to the rest of his body.

Naruto continued to softly press his lips against Gaara's. Feeling a little bold. He snuck his tongue out, and licked at Gaara's lips. He heard Gaara whimper, and did it again. Then he pulled Gaara's lower lip in between his own and sucked. They were both breathing heavily, and Gaara was pressing closer to him. He'd put his fingers through Naruto's hair, and pulled his face closer. At first he hadn't known how to respond to a kiss, so he'd let Naruto do all the work. But after a while, he begun to imitate Naruto's actions, wanting him to feel as good as he felt. Soon enough they were both sucking and licking each other's lips, their arms holding on tightly to each other, not wanting this moment to stop.

Slowly, Naruto pulled out of the kiss and rested his face against the crook of Gaara's shoulder. They stayed like this for a while, not saying anything.

After what felt like forever, Naruto opened his eyes. He hadn't even realized that they were closed. He looked at the clock on his wall.

"Hey, Gaara." He said as he pulled away so he could look into his eyes.

"hm?"

"We have to go, we're going to be late meeting up with the others."

"Ok." Gaara stood up, and held out his hand to Naruto. He took it as he stood up, and pulled Gaara into a soft kiss before heading towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, Gaara let go of his hand and crossed his arms across his chest. The gourde had already started to take form on his back. Naruto wasn't sure as to why, but whenever they were in the apartment together, the gourde would dissolve into sand onto the floor. It still followed them around though, much to his distressed. The apartment looked like a small desert with sand all over the place.

They left the apartment building and walked towards the meeting place. After all these years, Kakashi-sensei still insisted on meeting in the same place. When they got there, Sasuke was the only one there, which was no surprise. Kakashi-sensei also refused to get there on time.

"Hey Sasuke!" greeted Naruto with his usual cheerfulness.

"Yo." Sasuke replied. Not even looking up.

Naruto shrugged and talking about anything and everything. Gaara just stood there and listened, his expression blank once again.

Sakura had decided to become a medical ninja like Tsunade, and had gone to back to school to learn. Since then, Gaara had taken her place in their group.

Neither one of them had passed the Chunnin exams and with the reconstruction of Konoha, the wars, and trying to keep up with all of their missions, there just wasn't time to have another exam. But with all of their training, they were at chunnin level in terms of power, and had been given a few B class missions.

With a puff of smoke, Kakashi appeared, still reading his smutty book.

"Sorry I'm late, there was a little boy stuck in a well and I had to rescue him."

"Lies!!" cried Naruto. It was at times like this that Naruto sort of missed Sakura. No one else berated Kakashi with him anymore.

"Anyway, today's mission will be fun! We're going to collect medical supplies that are located in the forbidden forest. Seeing as there's no exam there, the place will be rigged with traps, so it will be a good training exercise for you guys. My challenge for you guys is this: You can use anything but your jutsus to get through. If you lose, well I have a very unpleasant D-ranked mission for the losers. If you win, I'll treat you to your favorite restaurant."

"Awesome! Cried Naruto. I'm going to win, and we'll eat tons and tons of ramen together! Yes! Let's go!" He was grinning, bouncing from excitement. The mission didn't sound too dangerous, but if there was ramen being offered he was all up for it.

AN: Again, I hope that you liked it. Please review!
