((Gaaras POV))

After the show me and Sasuke stumble out amongst crowds of people, my hand still clasped in his. We cross the dark parking lot together over to the banana-mobile. It almost glows in the dark. Creepy. Most of the people we came with are lounging around the car, laughing their heads off and stumbling around; $10 says all of them are intoxicated.

" Look! The two little ones came back!" The senior girl points and yells, using the car to support herself.

"Who are we waiting for now?" The guy with the lip piercing complained. "It's nearly 1am I wanna leave!"

"Play some music! I wanna dance!" That seniors girl is getting on my nerves, her face reminds me of one of those stupid 'Whos' from the 'Grinch who stole Christmas". Lip guy puts a CD in, the first song is this upbeat song by Billy Idol. It screams 80's. Some people dance some sing, but Sasuke just stands by me close and still. Feeling a bit daring I sing a quite verse in his ear.

"You spin me right round, baby. Right round, like a record baby, right round round round."

He smiles. I melt inside.

The rest of the group gathers at the car, its getting really late. I hope Haku doesn't get mad, though I don't he will; It's almost impossible to get a rise out of him.

" I am not riding in that stupid trunk again! Get some other people to!" This kid with bleached hair about our age screams at Lip guy. I flinch back, angry people are scary, and I don't like conflict.

"Me and Gaara will." Sasuke speaks up, completely sure of himself. I turn to look at him, I can't read whatever he's thinking, so I just go along. He helps me crawl into the trunk and he follows. The door shuts and we are alone as the car pulls off onto the dark curvy road we came on. We toss and turn as they speed, it's almost terrifying thinking that we're at their mercy of their driving skills. I'm starting to regret this. I should know better then getting in a car with complete stranger, let alone the trunk.

Sasuke must sense the tension filling me, he reaches for me again and pulls me close. Real close. This only makes me more tense, I look up at him to find his eyes, but meet his lips instead. Firm and strong but soft like heaven against mine. He lays several small kisses all over my face and down my neck.

I could die happy right now.

((Sasukes' POV))

After a while we just lay there holding each other close, breathing in each other's sweet and intoxicating scents. It feel so unbelievably good to have him here in my arms; to have that soft red hair brushing against my cheek, listening to his breathing and feeling his heartbeat against my chest. This trunk is like a warm dark womb, where I can keep him near and safe from everything that makes him hurt. You can see the torment in his eyes, but for tonight I want to make it all disappear.

I pull him closer, holding him tight, much like a child hugs a teddy bear through the night. I would love to drown in his emerald eyes, but it's so dark, I can see anything. Instead I run my fingertips gently over the curves of his face, learning them.

And right as I am about to lay a gentle kiss on his forehead the car stops, leaches forward, and rolls back. My head slams into his face bending his nose at a strange angle.

"Erhm…Sorry. Your nose all right?" I mumble awkwardly.

"Yeah, it's fine." He whispers back. Silence follows.

Damn it, this stop had better be worth it.

There are voice outside the car, we listen in.

"Umm..how may I help you officer?" We hear lip guy say.

"DO you know how fast you were driving? Pretty damn fast. License and registration please."

Gaara cracks his knuckles nervously, I reach for his hand and hold it tight.

"Ok, these check out" The cop says. "Do you know your eyes are bloodshot?"

"Ummm" Lip guy struggles for a line, some kind of excuse to save his hide. "I have allergy's…stupid pollen."

"Heh, so does this entire car have allergies?" The cop smirks back.

"Yes, yes they do."

"Pretty cocky, get out, We have to search this car.

Weight shifts and people groan. Now even I am nervous, Gaara clings to me and we wait, barely breathing. Doors open and the cop crawls around searching, from one end of the car to the other. "Ah-ha!" He exclaims after a few minutes of searching. "Marijuana. I'm going to have to take this." Weight shifts as he gets out, "Now just for the trunk." I swear my heart stopped right then.

"Oh, you don't have to check the trunk…" Lip guys says nervously.

"Standard procedure, besides, not like you have dead bodies or something in there." The trunk pops and he slowly lifts it. His eyes meet my nervous ones, he looks over me and Gaara clinging to each other and then just shakes his head. "Well…I've never seen this before."

Silence. Everyone exchanges glances, waiting nervously for the cops verdict.

"Man, you kid's is crazy. Now head on home, and get these fellows outta the trunk." He says calmly, pocketing the green.

"Thank you officer! You're my new favorite cop!" Lip guy exclaims and hugs him. Everyone scatters into the car and we speed off into the night.

((Gaaras POV))

The door creaks open, I try to be quiet coming in, in case Haku is asleep. Ice cream cartons are scattered across the floor and the Rocky Horror Picture show is blinking on the TV; I turn it off and head silently into the back room. As soon as I enter it I see Haku sobbing on the bed, tears glistening in the faint moonlight.

"Haku…?"

He looks up, and run's over and latches to me, sobbing even more. "Oh Gaara…" Tears choke him up.

"What's wrong?" I ask in distraut.

It takes him a minute to speak. "Zabuza and me…broke up." He sits on the end of the bed, hold his face in his hands, chest heaving with quiet sobs. I kneel by him.

"This is terrible…" Haku is so dependent and so in love with Zabuza, his heart must be in turmoil.

"I know…A-and it was just so sudden too…" He trails off and lies back on the bed. I look helplessly, I hate to see him hurting. I start to go towards my bed, but his voice catches me "Hey Gaara? Could you lay with me tonight? So I don't feel so lonely…" I stare at him puzzled for a second, then grab a pillow and settle near him for an uneasy sleep of worry and thoughts about everything gone on today; especially of Sasuke.

'God damn life is complicated.' I think to myself before the sandman takes me.
