Gaaras' POV

"What?" he asked, not believing what I had just said.

"It wasn't really official. 'cause it was third grade and all, but we were a lot closer then most boys are age. We'd often go over each others houses, or, rather he came over my house because Itachi was at his house. We'd hold hands when we walked together and when no one was around I'd give him a hug. I think I kissed him on the cheek once too."

He looked at me, surprised. "I don't' believe it." he said, "How come I never knew?"

"We never did anything in front of you. We didn't want you to know." He looked at me skeptically. "I still have a picture of us if you don't believe me."

"No, I believe you." he said, "So you still like him? Is that why you checked on up?"

"No." I said, "I don't like him anymore."

"Then…"

"I love you." He gave me another skeptical look. "I've liked you since we were in the sixth grade. That's why Sasuke said I couldn't hang out with you guys anymore."

He looked down a t his cup of hot chocolate. "This day is just too weird."

Sasukes' POV

"ACHOO!" I sneezed. So they were talking about me, were they. Gaara was probably telling Naruto about us right now. I sat down on the nearest bench (A/N: woo! Majikally appearing park and bench! Lol I love how there's always a bench right there when ever I need it). 'I'll give them a little more time.' I thought.

Naruto was probably confused. I'd let Gaara answer his questions. It would only help to send Naruto back to me.

I rested my head on my hand as I thought of the questions Naruto would be asking him and what he would be asking me later to verify the information given to him.

'What if he doesn't come back?' I thought, doubting myself. "Of course he's coming back." I said quietly. 'But what if he doesn't? What if he stays with Gaara?' "He has to come back." I said, fighting with myself, "Naruto belongs to me. And if he doesn't, I'll make him." 'How?' "I'll find a way."

I felt someone watching me from behind, I quickly stood up and turned around to see who it was. "Oh. It's you." I said, sitting back down.

"Yes it's me." he said, sitting next to me, "Who else would I be, you?" I pit my chin in my hand and looked strait ahead. "The way you're looking right now, I'm glad I'm me and not you. What's wrong?"

I looked at him, then in front of me again and started telling him what had happened earlier today.

Gaaras' POV

"How so?" I asked.

"First I find out my best friend is in love with me, them get molested by him. I get saved by my old best friend and find out he likes me too. And then I find out my two best friends used to date secretly. Wouldn't you think that if you were in my place?"

"I guess so…" I said. My stomach growled. I blushed and saw Naruto suppressing a smile. "Heh heh. I guess I'm hungry. I skipped lunch today. Wanna go get some ramen?" (A/N: don't ask. Please)

"Sure." he said. He seemed to be feeling better at the mention of ramen. We walked the couple blocks from my house to the ramen shop. We walked in and saw Iruka-sensei, are math teacher was sitting there. "Hey, Iruka-sensei!" said Naruto happily.

"What are you guys doing here?" he asked, putting more ramen in his mouth.

"Getting ramen, duh." said Naruto. 'Baka,' I thought, 'you don't say 'duh' to a teacher.'

"Thanks captain point-out-the-obvious. Care to join me?"

"As long as I don't have to do any math."

"Ha ha." he laughed, "Alright."

We sat down with Iruka-sensei and ordered our ramen.

Sasukes' POV

"Wow." he said when I finished talking, "So you finally told him, huh?"

"Yes, I did. Do you have a problem with that?"

"Maybe." I gave him a skeptical look and he smiled "No, it's just you've liked him since fifth grade. I'm just surprised you told him at all."

I glared at him, then looked in front of me. It took me a few seconds to realize. I turned to face him. "How'd you know I liked him since fifth grade? I never told you that."

He looked at me, "Sasuke, I've known you since forever. I knew you before you moved here and left me behind."

He was right. He'd known me since before we even started to go to school. My brother was friends with his family, so we often hung out together when we were little. Then, near the end of first grade my brother decided to move here. Luckily, he moved here too, at the start of fourth grade. I didn't hang out with him at school, but we were still good friends. Another thing Naruto didn't know about.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I have to go, or I'll get in trouble, see you 'round."

"Bye." I said as he started to walk away.

"Good luck!" Neji called, waving over his shoulder. I waved back an then headed off to Gaara's house.
