The Five Stages of Grief

Acceptance

We got back from our walk at about 5 o clock. Gaara decided to stay for tea, and then we went up to my bedroom. I invited Gaara to sit down, but he shook his head, and just stood there, staring into space…had I done something wrong? Had I upset him?

"Gaara? What's wrong? You look upset." Gaara just turned to me, and gazed up into my face. He spoke, almost whispering, like he didn't really want me to hear.

"Sasuke…do you…love me?" His face was anxious, mine was shocked. I didn't really expect him to ask like this, but I had to answer him. There was only one way I could think of conveying my true feelings. I kissed him. Lightly at first, but as I was about to draw back, he threw his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. The kiss grew more intense, and I could hear soft moans escaping from Gaara's lips. Was this really what I wanted? Yes.

After what seemed like forever, Gaara pulled back, and smiled at me. God he looked so sexy. Suddenly, he grabbed at my top, his hands moving so fast that they were a blur. He stopped, and smiled slowly. I looked down and realised that he had somehow managed to take my top completely off.

"Hey! That's not fa-" I began, but he cut me off mid-sentence with another overpowering kiss. I succumbed to him, and allowed myself to enjoy the moment. We were both out of breath by the end of this kiss, and I looked down at myself only to discover I was now standing in just my boxers. Damn, he was quick. I decided I had to take action fast if there was going to be any kind of fairness in the relationship. I tackled Gaara around the waist and threw him down onto the bed. While he was still trying to catch his breath, I hastily removed both his top and pants. We were equal now.

A blush began to creep over Gaara's face when he realised how scantily clad he was, so I spoke,

"God Gaara, you're so beautiful" It was the truth. I couldn't understand how I had not realised before how stunning he was. And I realised how lucky I was now, to have his fragile frame underneath my own. He was mine, my Gaara. I smiled at him, and once again leant in for a kiss. This time, Gaara turned his head away, and leapt off the bed. Jeez, what did I do wrong now? He started searching through my cupboards…what was he doing? After a few minutes, he stepped back out, and held something up in the air. I squinted to see what it was, then froze when I realised. Handcuffs. Gaara wanted to use handcuffs. Oh crap.

I swallowed hard, and looked over at him, panic written across my face, but Gaara didn't seem to realise, or care. He strode back across the room and in one quick motion, pushed me back onto the bed and straddled me. He brought the handcuffs up above my head, and I realised that now was my chance! I brought my knee up hard into the small of Gaara's back. I winced as a look of pain shot across his face, but I grabbed the handcuffs anyway. Gaara wasn't usually so easy to attack, but he wasn't exactly expecting it. I smiled to myself. Now I was the one in control. Gaara had fallen on top of me, so I gently spun round till I was on top of him. In one swift motion I tied his handcuffs to the bedpost, and straddled him. He looked up at me, his deep green eyes communicating more than words ever could. We both wanted this.

Slowly, delicately, I traced his bare chest with my finger, caressing him gently as I traced my way down to his boxers. The last remaining piece of clothing separating me from my Gaara. Carefully, I slid them off and threw them across the room. Gaara was now lying underneath me, completely exposed. Gaara raised his head to look at me, and spoke,

"Sasuke, I, are you sure?"

"Yes, Gaara. I love you"

With that, I removed my own boxers and also threw them across the room. Gaara's arms encircled my neck, and he pulled me close, so as much of our bodies were touching as possible. Gaara emitted soft moans as our bodies met, and I realised he had never been in such close contact with anyone before. I was his first. Gaara pushed my hair out of my eyes, and kissed me passionately. I yielded to his powerful embrace, and we both strived to be as close as possible. As I lay there on my bed with him, I finally knew I was truly in love.

-The Next Day-

I woke up, tired. Hold on, where was I? Oh, yeah, in my room. Duh. I rolled over and my sleepy eyes met Gaara's beautiful outlined ones.

"Gaara!"

"Good morning Sasuke." I smiled sleepily at my lover. He was sat up now, and he looked down at me and smiled.

"Are you ok, Sasuke?"

"I am now, Gaara" Gaara turned away from me, attempting to hide the blush that was creeping up his cheeks. I lifted my hand and cupped his face lightly.

"There is no need to be embarrassed, Gaara" And with that I kissed him.

So this was what complete happiness was.

A/N WAHEY! IT'S FINISHED! GAARA AND SASUKE LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER! Mmkay people! I know it's finished but I will love you forever if you still review XD. Ta-ta for now :D
