--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would go to pieces if you said that this was just an act to come and take the sleep out of my night-

Lee did not sleep to well that night all he could think about was lunch and Gaara. He had tried hard to think about Sakure-chan and tell himself he didn't love Gaara but that didn't seem to help, at all. He was losing sleep but gaining more thoughts about Gaara oh how he would die if when he told Gaara he loved him Gaara would reject him. He would lose sleep and love he would then only dream of Gaara, and Gaara would be both his bliss of a dream and a part of a nightmare. Being if Gaara said no he did not love him back he would hurt to dream of Gaara, and he would love to see his face .In this dream he would be able to love Gaara and Gaara would love him to but seeing his face would remind him it was just that only a dream nothing more.

-And I would go to pieces if you said that this was just an act to come and take the shine out of my life-

He tossed and turned these thoughts of being heart broken where sucking out the gleam of hope he did have that maybe Gaara did love him back and he would not be heart broken. Truth was not only would his heart be broken but it could be shattered, and he could not live with that. Knowing Gaara would never love him back, it pained him too much too even think about it, so he thought it was simple he tried to take those thoughts away

Oh and I go though it all aw it's a thing like habit I know-

Lee was determined to find some way to make Gaara love him, little did he know he did not have to Gaara already did he might be sure of it yet but Gaara did. Lee was never one to quit so he would do anything or he would run four-thousand laps without stopping. He had always done that challenged himself even with out knowing sometimes he just did it but he was more aware of it now because he knew he just had to reach that goal he just had to.

I would be a fighter for a tiny piece of a tiny feeling
give it up to wonder what it's worth

Gaara stayed awake the whole night and sighed a few times before his thoughts drifted slowly to lee. He heard lee's soft breathing and he could help but ask why he had said yes why had he blushed or better yet why did he care? He pulled his knees up to his chin and rested his head there as he gazed at the window. Thinking only of the thoughts he had been scorning from his mind and wondering what they meant. Gaara wanted to feel what being wanted or being loved would feel like he would give up most anything to feel that. Lee, what was there to say about him why did it feel like there was this type of hole in his chest where he thought his heart would be why did it hurt there when he thought about lee? Why did he think about lee was there any reason behind this feeling? If there was, he wanted to know he needed to know. Why did lee make him feel calm and at ease when no one else could? He would like to wonder what that meant to lee what it meant to him what made it worth the risk.

-And I would feel much bigger for the little joy that you get from stealing
I never really wonder what it's worth-

Gaara would feel important for once in his life for that feeling as if someone was going to be there to help him or at least try to. So many people just pass it by as if it nothing just walking over it not liking the person back they never really know how important it is they never know or even care what it is worth and for Gaara he wished he knew so he could have it be in it feel love.

Oh and I am dead and gone
Oh you will feel much older, I know

I would feel much better if I thought there was any other reason
to keep away the beauty from the dirt
And I would do much better if I thought I fill any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, oh

Gaara would like to think he was needed but he was only lying to himself like when he was little how Yashamaru had told him he was important and then just turned around and tried to kill him like he meant nothing at all. Though when lee looked at him that way he felt like he like he… like Gaara meant something to him.

And I would be complete if you could put me down in facts and figures
the hardest things are always black and white

Lee could not help but try to get through the hard sand surface of Gaara's mind he wanted to share the feeling he had. He would feel whole.

And I would be complete if you could touch me once but it never figures
the easy things are never really right-

Gaara needed someone to hold him touch him show him he is real that he is living and alive like he could feel something anything. He was hesitant to the thought but he wanted lee to be that one to show him what it was like…, yet it could be the best thing it wasn't the right thing was it? Though Gaara had no concept over what wanting to he felt was wrong or right even if it be in the arms of a man he still needed that no matter how wrong it might be he didn't find it wrong nor strange. Did lee think that what did lee think?

Lee would want to touch feel Gaara's very self his form his body his mind his soul Gaara's but he knew that wouldn't be right to do that to a friend especially if you didn't know if they like you back.

Oh and I go day by day, oh it's a thing to live for, I know
And I would feel much better if I thought there was any other reason
to keep away the beauty from the dirt
And I would do much better if I thought I fill any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, oh

Lee picked up his hand and placed it on his head as he thought about this he did not want to run he was not going to run he was not in the running mood, but he needed somewhere to clear his mind. He got up walked to knock on Gaara's door maybe they could do something it was the morning already there must be something they could do. Together….

(I am not going to put the rest of the song here because it is long and I would like to write meh story with out it!)

Lee knocked on Gaara's door once twice three times before it opened there was Gaara sitting the way he was before he was wearing just a pair of black sleeping pants. Lee's hand was still in the knocking position and his mouth a little gap as the door slowly opened he turned away it was wrong of him to gawk at Gaara's half naked self even… if it was nice and smooth and he had a small tight firm body of lean mussel. Even if it was, sexy if it was staring would be rude and that is not something lee was.

"Um ...Gaara do you wanna go do something I mean since your awake and all I"

"Lee why are you talking to me with your back facing me?"

"Oh no reason thought I saw a raccoon"

"A raccoon?"

"Yeah..."

"Let's kill it"

"What?"

"Nothing nothing, so what is it you want exactly?"

Gaara asked he hated raccoons being shunnaku was a raccoon or badger or something like that.

"Oh I was just thinking maybe since we are both up we could just do something"

he messed with his thumbs again even when he wasn't looking at Gaara. He could feel his eyes on his back this made lee mess with his thumbs even faster thus making him feel very nerves.

"Oh…Ok"

"So what do you want to do?"

"Lee face me first you are being ridicules"

Ridicules. Is that what Gaara called it no lee was not being ridicules he was being respectful he did not want to be checking out Gaara because he knew Gaara would see that …easy. thick eyebrows and his kind of eyes would give away where he was looking at easy.

"I don't think I should I mean..."

"Now" Gaara stated

"Hai" lee turned and thank god, Gaara was wearing a shirt

"Where would you have in mind?" Gaara asked

"Well I was thinking maybe we could go do something and then after that go back to work then break for lunch in the after noon"

"I can't break for lunch"

"Why, I thought we were going to eat lunch together you said yes yesterday…"

"I know what I said lee, but that was before I received this message" Gaara handed him a letter placed on a nightstand close to his bed.

"Dear ……………Suna….NEED……..Break….Sister…Brother…….. Water ………….Documents important…SEND RIGHT AWAY…….." lee continued reading this way mumbling a few words here and there

"Oh…..."

"Lee so if we are going to do something best we do it now"

"Ok right OSS!"

Gaara just nodded they went out side after changing there attire well lee not so much what he was wearing he always wore so nah.

"There" he pointed to a ramen stand

"Is it open…?"

Gaara asked because honestly, who ever heard of a RAMEN STAND BEING OPEN AT 12:30 Am.?

"Yes it is look,"

he pointed again to a figure sitting on a stool slurping on ramen. Well guess who it is none other then…

"Hi Naruto-kun" Lee stated happily

"hn'" was all he got from Gaara

And as if out of no where came Sasuke right behind naruto

"Oh hi Sasuke –Kun"

"Mine" was all he said as he hugged naruto from behind possessively

This earned a questioning look from Gaara and a happy one from lee. Oh, they all knew what was coming up next they got ready for it

"Oh naruto and Sasuke- kun you to are filled with youth full love-"

10 minutes later

"May your days be filled with spirit"

Gaara blinked he was awake unfortunately Naruto had fallen asleep and fell face first in his ramen broth and Sasuke was shaking naruto trying to wake him up and yelling at lee for making his boy friend drown in broth

"He is not dead," Gaara stated

"He is just asleep" he finished

"Did he really think my speech was that boring" Lee asked tears coming from his eyes

"Yess he did!" Sasuke shouted

"Oh goman Sasuke-kun sorry" Lee cried

"It is ok," Sasuke said though he said it coldly

Naruto finely came to after a few minutes of trying different attempts to wake him up they talked over what was left of there ramen and then that's when Sasuke asked

"Do you guys want to go get something to drink there is a bar open"

Lee blinked

"Bar no I don't drink I have a low..."

"Come on lee"

"Well I don't know if Gaara would want to go…"

Sasuke looked at Gaara

"Would you mind?"

"No" Gaara stated

"Oh well I am sure naruto wouldn't wan-"

"Lee lets just go"

Lee hung his head

"Ok I guess..."

"Good" naruto and Sasuke said in unison (at the same time)

They all walked to the bar noting it was not to far from where they where originally at. When they reached the bar, they sat down at a booth since the entire sections of bar stools were taken.

"So what are you doing here in the first place Gaara?"

Naruto asked.

"Well in suna since I am next to become the kage that is, I took it upon my self to learn martial arts."

"Why if you have the ultimate defense the sand why?" that was true he did have the sand but the sand couldn't protect him from everything

"Yes, but you see you and lee both and Sasuke at a time all have gotten past that past the sand" Gaara replied

There was an odd silence before Gaara opened his mouth again

"If I am going to be Kazekage I need more then that."

"You know you work to hard Gaara." naruto said

"No I don't work to hard; in fact I believe I have been slacking off lately..."

"Nonsense now where is our waiter!" Naruto yelled.

Soon a waiter showed up to the screaming blondes needs to shut him up.

"Welcome may I-"

"About time" naruto grunted

"Oh right um, may I take your order this evening"

"Let's see …Sake"

"Are you sure we have a wide selection of very good wines and-"

"SAKE" naruto made it very clear

"Wait a moment you two are minors aren't you…you shouldn't be in here!"

Naruto quickly pointed to Gaara

"He is a minor to"

"All of you are minors out no-"

"Should you really be talking that way to the Kazekage of suna?" Sasuke asked so coldly you could chip ice off it.

The waiter looked to Gaara who at this moment had a very unnerving stair he was not glairing he was glowering his stair was simply to get the waiter to shut up and get them there drinks. What where they going to drink what had they ordered or rather what had naruto ordered sake…?

What was that 'sake' some type of juice or drink did it taste good or was it to tart he hadn't the faintest idea.

"Oh I am so sorry Kazekage" the waiter immediately bowed

"I- I hadn't known it was you" the waiter continued his apologies

"…hn'…" was all Gaara said.

"I'll be right back with your drinks" and with that the waiter left

"I am not Kazekage yet…" Gaara stated

"We know, but that waiter wouldn't have served us," Sasuke muttered

"He is the only one who cares if you're a minor or not" came a voice behind the party.

"Hey I know that voice..." lee said in a soft voice

Naruto and the rest of the party turned there attention to the booth behind the one they where sitting at.

"Hey Neji"

"Lee...Gaara…Naruto…Sasuke" Neji nodded to each one as he said their names.

"Neji who the hell could you possibly be here with" naruto asked

"Ten-ten and Nara..." (A/N: know Shikamaru's first name is Nara just making sure you peeps know that now back to story!)

"Yeah right..."

That is when they heard a "troublesome…" in the front for Shikamaru had just shown up

"As you where saying…"

Naruto quickly smiled

"I never doubted you Neji at one bit"

This time Neji said "Yeah right".

"Believe it!" naruto responded

"Whatever…"

"Wait Neji when did you start calling Shikamaru by his first name?" Lee asked.

Both Nara and Neji blushed

"Um….well…." Neji stammered

But Nara being the genius he is simply stayed cool and replied

"You decide my last name was too troublesome". That was Nara cool was his middle name. If he had one that is…

"Finally our drinks are here" naruto retorted as the waiter placed them on the table

"If there is anything else you need just let me know kage-sama". He looked to Gaara who at the time had a not so annoyed look.

"Hn'" was all Gaara said and nodded at the waiter

Neji and Nara busted out laughing

"What is so funny…" Gaara asked

"Kage…" Neji laughed

"Sama!" Nara laughed

They where given bad glares from the waiter and from Gaara but they did not care they continued to laugh their asses off.

Naruto slowly poured some sake in three glasses and then placed them in front of his three friends

"Wait a moment guys shouldn't the kage drink first" Nara and Neji laughed they where all sitting in one big booth now.

Lee chuckled a bit even though TenTen hadn't showed he still was with his friends and Gaara…..speaking of which was staring at his drink

"Gaara here"

lee gave Gaara his cup he was not one to drink he could not handle that kind of stuff.

Gaara looked at lee's cup since they had only given them three to begin with

"Thank you…"

Gaara said really quite almost inaudible.

Lee grinned Gaara took the cup and hesitantly picked it up to his lips. He slowly took the drink in his mouth tasting it first before he drank the whole thing. He carelessly took too much in at a time causing some to slide down the side of his mouth. And slowly down to his exposed neck making a nice little shinny trail that made lee want to run histongue

over the smooth flesh and drink up what little amount of the drink he could stand from Gaara's lips. Lee could not help but watch this. Oh, how lovely Gaara's tongue hesitantly escaped his mouth to taste the sake, the way his lips parted to let the liquid flow in it made lee sift in different positions. The whole thing just made a warmth spread and coil in his body and somewhere else to.

"Lee are you ok" naruto asked

"Huh me fine, fine why ask?" he answered a bit high pitched and fast. Naruto looked to Gaara, who was drinking the sake,

Naruto mouthed

"I see..."

This caused lee to blush a bit.

Gaara kept drinking he lost count around eight he didn't know what it was but the sake made him feel warm and bubbly he felt so fuzzy.

Lee looked to Gaara

"Lee" Gaara spoke as he fell on lee.

"Gaara how many drinks did you have?"

"I dounno twelve I think..."

"Gaara is this your fist time drinking alcohol?"

Gaara nodded he had a dazed smile on his face and giggled

"Gaara I think we should go home…"

"Home home home where do we live?" he asked just how drunk was Gaara

"I'll show you" lee was carrying Gaara as much as he could helping Gaara walk

"Are we married…?" Gaara asked this stopped lee in his tracks

"Married no!" lee responded Gaara gave a sad look

"You wouldn't marry me," he slurred

"Gaara you drank to much…" lee started

Gaara giggled again

"I only drank fifteen..."

"I thought you said twelve." Lee shouted

"You know shunnaku thinks I'm crazy" Gaara continued to talk as if he had not heard lee

"He says that I am because I think I love."

"Love …"

"Love this person" Gaara still was rambling

"Who?" lee asked him a he was now really paying attention to this topic.

"Well shunnaku says that I am crazy because he thinks I do I I I don't know if I do he is justbeing stupid" Gaara slurred

"Who is it..." lee asked

"Isyoulee" Gaara said

"Huh" lee could not understand any of that

"I say it" was all Gaara got out as he yawned his head was going to be hell tomorrow but he didn't care

"Gaara don't go to sleep GAARA" but it was to late Gaara already dosed off into slumber. Lee carried him home. When they reached the apartment thingy lee quietly entered and placed Gaara in his bed remover his shirt and pulled the cover over him then he left to his room but before he placed a light kiss on Gaara's forehead and said good night.

Gaara blinked as lee left he carefully put his hand to his forehead and blushed a bit before he completely fell to sleep he mumbled something softly though he knew lee couldn't here him

"It is you…".
