I know I haven't updated this story in forever. You probably all hate me by now. I'm really, really sorry, but I have no idea of what to write for this. If any of you have any ideas I beg of you to tell me. If you don't it might be a year before I update. I have tried many times to write another chapter for this and I'd read it over and realize that it made no sense at all. I'm really, really sorry! So to make it all up to you is this impromptu and short little one-shot thing. It has nothing to do with the story and is NejiGaara.

Safe

The red head frowned as he looked at the people in the village of Konoha. They may suffer from one thing or another but nothing was as horrible as having to live with a demon inside you. Shukaku was his curse and there was no escape from it. He was dreaming a never-ending nightmare. These people were so ungrateful and ignorant. They knew not of what true pain and suffering was. Having to live all those years being hated and having no love or affection at all. The horrible loneliness eating him away inside was killing him. He had lived up until about a month ago believing he needed to love no one other than himself. But in actuality Gaara hated himself. He just needed no one else, not that anyone would want to be with him.

He glared at the people of the village before walking back to his temporary home. He had needed nothing before he met him. Hyuuga Neji had changed everything. The boy had slowly cracked away Gaara's hard shell. It had taken him many months but he had gotten Gaara to trust him. Throughout that time the pale-eyed boy learned a lot about him, too much as far as Gaara thought. Gaara's turquoise eyes hardened as he thought of how weak Neji made him. He had cared for no one but himself, but the Hyuuga just had to try and get close to him.

Though as much as he hated to admit it, he liked having Neji around. He may not love Neji, but he liked him well enough and Neji was willing to wait. Gaara had lived so long without attention and affection that when Neji gave him a quick and simple hug, Gaara craved more. He tried to ignore it, but he liked and wanted Neji to wrap his arms around him and hold him tightly. The red head was never one who enjoyed unnecessary touching but if it was Neji he found it okay. He didn't mind as long as Neji would hug him and hold him close. So that is how Gaara found himself not in front of his house at three in the morning but at Neji's window. He stared at the beautiful boy lying peacefully sleeping under the moon's pale glow. Gaara admired the way Neji's skin seemed to glow when the moon hit it and how it contrasted so well with his dark locks of hair. The window was open and he could hear Neji's even breaths. He closed his eyes and tried to picture and feel what it would be like if Neji hugged him. He could almost feel the warmth and closeness a simple embrace could cause, but the key word was almost and Gaara felt a stabbing pain when the loneliness filled him again.

"Gaara?" Neji questioned sleep evident in his voice.

"Yes?" Gaara asked opening his eyes to see Neji looking at him.

"Come here." Gaara complied and climbed through the window and over to Neji. The brown haired boy pulled his blanket back and inclined his head to show Gaara to lie down. The red head nodded and lowered his body beside Neji's. Neji then wrapped his arms around the slightly smaller boy pulling him close against him.

Gaara melted against the warm body and closed his eyes. He felt so safe and secure in Neji's arms. The feeling was so wonderful and he never wanted to have to let go. If he lost this one comfort he'd probably go insane. In Neji's arms Shukaku would fade to the back of his mind and Gaara could relax and be at peace for a short time. All in just one simple embrace, he managed to feel loved and safe.

It made him forget all the hate and loneliness that filled him and tortured him everyday. Whenever he needed a hug he'd only have to look at Neji for the Hyuuga to understand and instantly have the red head in his arms holding him close. It wouldn't matter where, when, or what they were doing, if Gaara needed a hug Neji would give him one. It made Gaara feel special and loved. He even realized after a while that he too loved Neji but he didn't have the reassurance and resolve to tell the brown haired boy. So he just tried to show him by hugging the Hyuuga back every time he was in his arms. He missed the feeling of Neji's arms securely wrapped around him whenever they had to let go of each other. He craved the touch of the other and would obsess over it for hours until Neji could hold him once more. Though at times like these when he was in the Hyuuga's arms he didn't think of such things. He just smiled contently and wrapped his arms around Neji pulling himself that much closer into the other's embrace.

The End

Yes I know it sucked and was horribly short so here is another short one-shot to make it better. I hope. It's SasuNaru and has nothing to do with the story. Hope you like it even just a little.

Priorities

Sasuke had two main priorities, to kill his brother and revenge his clan and to revive his clan by marrying and restarting it. Though a certain blonde boy had ruined both of those things for him.

Naruto had stopped him from killing Itachi. He had been so close, but he stopped him and managed to bring him back to Konoha after being gone for two years. The blonde had made him lose his chance to finish one his goals. But he found later that he didn't mind. He could remember a day that had made him start to see his best friend and rival as something closer than just a friend or teammate.

Sasuke watched Naruto as he slept. They had just returned from a mission and had somehow both ended up going to Sasuke's house. The blonde had been very tired from having to do the mission and then traveling many miles to get back to the village before nightfall. Sasuke had only left the room for a minute to change when he came back out to find the blonde sound asleep on his couch. He smiled slightly at the sight of the boy looking so peaceful and at ease while curled up in a ball. Deciding the couch was not a very good place for him to be sleeping he lifted his teammate into his arms and brought him upstairs to his own room laying him onto his bed.

Laying himself on the bed he pulled the dark blue comforter over them and watched the blonde sleep. The small rise and fall of his chest caused the Uchiha to become tired and relax. He reached out a hand and stroked the tan face of his friend pausing at times to admire his beautiful face and wish he could see the boy's deep blue eyes. The eye's that showed so much expression and defied the blonde when he put up his façade and pretended to be happy. Sasuke could see right through the act by just one look into his eyes. He could always see the sadness or loneliness that filled his eyes and caused them to dull and express great pain. He loved those blue eyes and the emotions they showed. He gasped at what he had just thought. He loved Naruto's blue eyes. But it wasn't only his eyes, he loved Naruto.

After that realization Sasuke had avoided Naruto all the time and the blonde eventually confronted him hurt confused. He smiled fondly at that memory, it had been their first real kiss.

"Sasuke why aren't you avoiding me?" The blonde boy asked. His hand gripping the dark blue shirt Sasuke was wearing. He had grabbed the Uchiha when he had made an excuse on why he had to leave. "Did I do something wrong?" His blue eyes looked up at him hurt and confused. Sasuke felt guilt fill him as he looked into the beautifully sad eyes staring into his own. He stopped and turned to the blonde boy. He could see Naruto visibly stiffen and mentally prepare himself for anything the Uchiha might say.

"Because I'm confused," Sasuke said bluntly not seeing the point in torturing the poor boy any longer.

"About what?" Naruto asked now more curious than anything else.

"You," Sasuke said. Hearing those words Naruto's brow creased in deep thought and confusion.

"What do you mean," Naruto asked.

"I… I mean this," Sasuke said reaching his hand around to the back of Naruto's neck and pulling their faces together in a chaste kiss. There lips barely touched before Sasuke drew back not wanting to anger the blonde in fear that Naruto didn't want this, didn't want him.

Confusion filled the young boy's features as he looked at his best friend and rival. He had never dreamed Sasuke would feel the same way. Naruto had first realized his feelings when he had talked to Haku about his 'special someone' and when he had seen Sasuke laying lifeless and limp on the ground he was so angry and in pain that he had almost released Kyuubi completely. He had realized in that moment that Sasuke was his special someone, even if his feelings weren't returned.

"S-Sasuke?" Naruto questioned stepping forward closer to the other boy. "Do you love me?" Naruto could feel the butterflies in his stomach, the sweat forming on his hands and neck, and the nauseas feeling causing him to feel dizzy.

"Yes," Sasuke said his eyes hidden by his long black bangs. He couldn't stand looking at the blonde, he wouldn't be able to live after seeing the disgust and disbelief in Naruto's eyes. His eyes widened however when the blonde boy latched onto him in a tight hug burying his face in the blue shirt.

"I love you too," Naruto whispered before bringing his lips up to kiss Sasuke softly. Sasuke returned the kiss before it broke a few moments later and they both blushed and walked home holding hands.

Naruto had also ruined his second priority, which was restoring his clan. Since he had fallen in love with Naruto he could no longer hope to revive his clan. For Naruto could not bear a child for he was a boy. Sasuke felt guilty for not being able to restore his clan, but once he had seen how much more guilty and upset Naruto was about it he instantly couldn't help but feel horrible for causing his lover unnecessary pain.

"Naruto?" Sasuke questioned getting his boyfriend's attention. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Naruto said happily forcing a smile. Sasuke saw right through his act and sat beside the blue-eyed boy wrapping a comforting arm around the boy's slender waist.

"I'm sorry," Sasuke said looking down ashamed.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"I didn't mean to make you feel guilty and responsible for me not being able to restore my clan. It's not your fault and I don't blame you."

"But it is my fault!" Naruto cried out his voice cracking. "I can't have any children! I'm useless!" Tears formed in his bright blue eyes and Sasuke sighed hugging his love.

"Naruto," Sasuke said smiling slightly down at the boy. "You are more important to me then restoring my clan." Sasuke leaned down and kissed the boy on his head as he cried silently releasing all the guilt and worry that had filled him since he had realized he had stopped one of Sasuke's goals from being completed. Sasuke just hugged him tightly until he fell asleep in his lover's arms.

Sasuke smiled at his memories. Though his priorities had changed. He had one priority that took importance over all others, Naruto.

No matter how insignificant or silly, he would pick Naruto over anything, because Naruto was his one and only true priority.
