Gaara's P.O.V
I stop in my tracks as I realize that I have to tutor that bastard today. I hear him call out my name and decide to wait for him.
"Gaara! You do know we have a tutoring session today, don't you?" Sasuke asks me, albeit rather hesitantly.
"Of course, why else would I be waiting for you?"
"Oh right, of course…well, follow me! My car's just here." Sasuke scratches his head for a moment then starts to walk off, with me following him.
I still can't believe I've agreed to do this, I mean it completely goes against everything I believe in, to help out this jerk.
There's a reason why I close myself off to people. There's a reason why I'm so distant, antisocial.
A few years ago, back in the sand colony I had a friend. Rather surprising, isn't it? You see, I was once just as happy and carefree as everyone else.
My friend's name was Kai, Kai Kawizuka. We were the best of friends. We shared everything, told each other all our secrets and fears. I believed in him, I really thought he was a great friend.
But then one day I found the truth about him.
Like I've just said, we told each other everything. I'd started realizing things about myself, about how I wasn't attracted to any of the girls in the village, but found the boys…cute.
I got scared, thinking something was wrong with me and ran to Kai and told him. He'd comforted me, told me that it wasn't wrong, that it didn't matter if I liked guys and not girls. I'd believed him, and then he'd told me that he was gay.
We were fine after that, but then a while later he started to get all touchy-feely with me, touching my thigh, or rubbing his hand on my arm, or caressing my cheek. I tried telling myself that it was normal for all best friends to do that to each other.
But then that all changed one day. Kai'd invited me to his house, and I'd come, noticing that his parents weren't at home. He'd told me that they were out and led me into his bedroom, and locked the door. I was rather confused, but didn't think much of it.
We'd sat down and watched a movie, and I didn't realize that he kept getting closer to me, until he was right next to me. I'd turned to ask him something and he'd pounced, claiming my lips with his, and the next thing I knew, I was pushed to the floor with him on top of me, kissing me furiously.
I'd opened my mouth to protest and he'd slipped his tongue into my mouth at that moment. Slowly I overcame my shock and pushed him off, not before he'd tore my shirt open though.
I'd asked him furiously what he was doing, scared but unwilling to admit it to anyone, least of all him. He'd growled at me, and held my wrist in a possessive way and said that I was his, that I belonged to him.
I was mortified. I pulled my wrist away and started to walk towards the door when he stood up, saying words that chilled me to the bone:
"If you walk out that door, I swear I'll tell everyone in the Sand Colony that you're gay and that you tried raping me."
I ran out, not believing how much he could have changed from the Kai I'd once known. I hadn't believed him of course, I mean, I didn't think he would really tell anyone. Boy was I wrong. By next morning the whole village knew, and no one would look at me, much less talk to me.
Father had found out, and he'd beaten me so bad, that I hadn't been able to walk for two days. Then we'd moved, moved to this city, and ever since then Father's hated me, and Temari and Kankurou have hated me even more then before, if that's possible.
Ever since that incident, I've closed myself off, because if I let people in, they'll just hurt me.
"Gaara…Earth to Gaara, anyone in there?"
Huh? I snap out of my memories to see a hand waving itself in front of my face. 'The hell?'
I follow that hand up to see it's connected to an arm, which is connected to a body that looks suspiciously like Sasuke's…
"Gaara!"
"What!"
Sasuke stops waving his hand and looks kinda relieved for some reason.
"Ah, you're back. What happened anyway? You just kinda zoned out." Sasuke looks at me curiously.
"Its nothing, I was just thinking. So where's your car?"
Suddenly Sasuke smiles and walks in front of this really nice electric blue Lamborghini Diablo and stops in front of it.
"So, what do you think? Cool or what?"
Quite frankly, I'm staring at the car in awe; I mean it's an awesome car! I've always wanted to sit in one of these, and now I finally can! Of course, I'm not gonna tell Sasuke that!
"Its nice." I say eventually.
"Come on then, hop in!"
Sasuke gets into the front seat and I sit in the passenger seat and put my seatbelt on. The drive to his house is quiet, mainly cause I don't want to talk to him and I dare say he doesn't want to talk to me.
The car stops and Sasuke jumps out, with me walking out of the car instead of jumping.
"This is your house?"
I stare up at what can only be called a mansion, it's that big. I mean, I knew Sasuke was rich and everything, but I never thought he was this rich.
"Yeah, you like it?"
"It's huge!"
Sasuke laughs and I snap out of my gaze, thinking how nice Sasuke's laugh is.
Wait just a second…
Did I just say what I think I said?
I did NOT just think that Sasuke's laugh was nice, did I?
Oh no, I did!
Sasuke's laugh is not nice. It is NOT. I really don't know what's gotten into me, it must be because I'm tired, yea, that's it.
Me and Sasuke enter the house and go up the stairs and turn right, left, left right, till we finally got to his room. I swear, this place is like a maze! It's a wonder Sasuke ever finds his way around here.
"Make yourself comfortable, I'll be right up." With that Sasuke leaves me in his room to go god knows where.
I sit on his bed and look around his room; it's twice the size of my own room. It's all light blue, with a white carpet and a blue bed. He's got a widescreen in built TV on the far side of the room, a desk with a computer and stereo system on it and a bunch of cds littering the rest of the desk. His walls are almost covered with people from various sports and there's a soccer ball lying on the floor next to a tennis racket. Just under the TV there's a play station all wired up to the TV. I get out the maths textbook and some paper and set in on the bed when Sasuke comes back, with some coke and chocolate bars.
"Hey, I see you've already got everything set up! I got us some coke and chocolates, thought we could munch on these while we work!" Sasuke hands me the coke and chocolates and I reply back with a 'thank you'.
"So then teach, what do you want me to do?" Sasuke asks me, sitting down beside me on the bed.
"Well, I thought to start you can do Exercise 2.3A and see how you do on those." I tell him, not failing to notice the nickname he seems to have given me.
Sasuke nods, then starts working on the problems. Well, that was surprisingly easy. I look around the room, feeling rather bored, so I take out my book that I've been reading. It's called 'The Shell House' and it's an excellent book. I read for a bit till Sasuke lets me know he's done.
"So, did I get them right?" Sasuke asks me rather anxiously.
"Well, you've gotten question two wrong. Trigonometry's really easy, once you understand what to do. Look, for this triangle you have to use tangent. This side of the triangle's the longest, so that's the hypotenuse, and this is the adjacent cause its got two angles on it, which means the other side is the opposite. You just press tan 37 on the calculator, cause the angle is 37 and then press equals. Then just times that answer by 20 cause that's the measurement and then you get the answer. Do you get it now?" I pause in my explanation and look up, seeing Sasuke just staring at me.
"Sasuke, do you understand?"
Sasuke stops looking at me immediately and looks down quickly. "Uh, yea I think so. I'll just try a few more of these okay?" And without waiting for me to answer, he starts solving some more problems.
"Um sure…"
We go through a lot of material for today, and its only after we've finished four exercises that I realize how late it is. I look at the clock and see that it's nine o'clock.
"Shit! Sasuke, I need to go, now!" I start packing my things in a frenzy, its too late, Father will have been home for ages, he's gonna get mad at me, I'm so late, I shouldn't have stayed this late!
I grab my bag and start walking when Sasuke catches up with me.
"Hey wait! Its late and its dark out, I'll give you lift home." Sasuke offers while leading the way out, for which I'm glad because I'd probably walk in the wrong direction and by getting a lift I'll be home quicker then if I walk it.
We get in the car and once again it's a silent journey home save for me giving him directions to where my house is. In no time at all we reach my house and I undo my belt and pick up my bag.
"Thanks for the lift Sasuke." I say apprehensively.
Sasuke looks at me and smiles. I really don't understand him and his smiles, I mean, he hates me right?
"It's no problem Gaara, and thank you for helping me with my math."
I nod my head at him and get out, walking to the front door, where I dread opening it, scared of what'll be waiting for me on the other side.
TBC…
First off, I owe you all a HUGE apology, as I've well and truly took the mick in updating this fic. I'm not making excuses, but I think it's because I've just been really caught up in the wedding, and then going back to school and having coursework and exams…
Just to make up for it, I wrote an EXTRA long chapter! So I hope you all enjoyed it!
I'm aware that the characters may have changed slightly, especially Sasuke's and I'm sorry bout that, but I just find it easier writing like this, especially since I found it way hard trying to write this chapter!
I hope you enjoyed reading the chapter and your reviews mean a lot to me, so thank you!
