Katsu: Wow… I'm a little disappointed… not many people reviewed the first chapter… Well except for one girl who was amazed with my writing skills ;
Well here's some shameless fluff I promised you guys… This is where Gaara sort of gets OOC…
At least that's what I think… but I HAVE read worse so I hope people won't mind…
Sin: So she owns nothing… Kishimoto owns everything… and would probably kill her for the way Gaara acts… .>
Katsu//grumble// leave me alone, they wanted the ending… and they go it…
"Geesh, is it really that late? I guess I should be heading home…" Tenten stood up and brushed off her clothes, looking for non-existent dust or grime that could be found on a rooftop. She grinned at her best friend, then leant down, hugged him quickly and bounded off into the night, startling a cat in the tree she just-so-happened to jump on first.
Lee chuckled as the cat hissed, sending Tenten tripping over herself and just managing to catch the branch of the tree in front of her, she looked back giving him a glare for his laughter. Before the weapons mistress turned to bound off into the direction of her own home something caught her eye and she smirked.
The Taijutsu user sat there puzzled as she waved and disappeared into the pitch black of the night that surrounded the roof top. He could have sworn that he caught her smiling when she turned away and silently wondered if she had set a trap for him so when he got up he would trigger it. He looked to his left where she had once sat and gazed around the area for anything slightly suspicious.
Then he felt it, something crawled up his arm, he tensed slightly, ready for anything that could be considered a threat. When he turned his head just slightly he saw the cause of his discomfort and relaxed instantly, watching as the sand slithered to his shoulder and then wrapped itself around his arm and started to break off and make it's way across his chest and shoulders.
"I just had an encounter with your other teammate," An oh-so-familiar voice breathed in his ear, which sent a shiver tingling up his spine and spreading across his body. He knew Gaara was kneeling behind him, having some reason as to why he had not simply made his presence known earlier. He had the feeling that the sand-user was up to something, he nodded slightly, telling the red head he had heard him. He watched intently as the sand slid across his body, never gathering in one specific spot, but refusing to travel further then his abdomen. "He's jealous of you, you know…"
It finally registered in the black-haired teen that Gaara meant Neji, which obviously meant that his boyfriend had finally been caught sneaking around the Hyuuga compound.
"It's about time they found you around there-" The sand came across the back of his neck and caused him to jump slightly at the rather uncomfortable feeling. "Gaara-kun… w-what exactly are you doing?" He cursed the tremor in his voice, wanting to sound unaffected by the Suna ninja's sand spreading across his body in an intimate fashion.
"Hmn?" Green eyes flashed slightly in the deep night, his voice sounded unaware of his boyfriends discomfort, "What do you mean?" He replied, feigning innocence.
The sand switched tactics and instantly slithered down his spine, Gaara watched amused as Rock Lee jumped up and spun around to glare at the other. The younger boy was pleased to see the flush in his face and that he was panting slightly, only becoming lax when the sand fell away from him and obediently recollected itself in Gaara's ever-present gourd. The Sand ninja stood up and advanced in him slyly, smirking when the taller recoiled slightly and took an involuntary step back.
"Would you prefer if I touched you myself?"
He was playing with him, and both damn well knew it.
Easily avoiding the question Lee focused on changing the subject, "What were you saying before about Hyuuga-san?"
Gaara easily shifted with the subject change and touched the other boys cheek in an affectionate way before replying.
"Oh he was just jealous of Tenten-san spending so much time with you," he advanced another small step and grabbed Lee's arm when he went to take another step back, "You're going to fall."
He turned around to see that, sure enough, he was on the edge of the roof and one step back would cause him to fall off balance. He didn't quite grasp what Gaara was trying to accomplish and, being the gracious person that he was offered that Gaara come inside before it got too cold out.
When they entered through the bedroom window, Lee noticed Gaara's lack of attire, he was only wearing a t-shirt and must have been cold for his whole time outside. He gestured for the redhead to fallow as he made the both of them some coffee in order to warm them up.
"Did you want a sweater to wear?" He offered kindly, turning to face his boyfriend after he finished filling the coffee pot and set the water to boil. "You don't look like your dressed for the nighttime."
Gaara looked down and also realized how cold he must look with his black t-shirt and light pants that were more suited for Suna's daytime atmosphere then Konoha's cool nights. He pulled his gourd off of his shoulders and placed it against the wall, his shoulders already feeling better from the sudden lift of the tension placed on them. The Sand ninja had always felt a little cooler, he always had cold hands and even though he lived in a place that was dry and hot, he was never effected by it.
"I suppose…"
Lee grinned, walked over to his dark bedroom and rustled around in there for a few moments before pausing slightly. He seemed to be deciding about something, then made up his mind and grabbed whatever it was he had been observing. He made his way back into the kitchen and walked over to there the green-eyed boy was sitting casually at the table watching him expectantly.
"Here, it is probably a little big but it's very warm…" he handed Gaara a large leaf green sweater that he instantly knew would be very long and big on him, but he excepted it great fully and unfolded it.
He waited until Lee had turned around to watch the coffee before stripping off his black shirt and throwing the green sweater over his head. He looked down and observed that it was extremely baggy and went past his hips to about mid-thigh covering the top seven inches of his pants and he had to scrunch the sleeves up a few inches to see his hands. The neck hole was larger and one could clearly see his neck, collar bone and it fell of his one shoulder when he lifted his other up.
Even though it was far too big for him; he could not help but relish in how warm and comfortable the soft green material was. He wrapped his arms around himself and rubbed his arms slightly warming himself up even more, in his arms he held his old black t-shirt and waited to get the others attention.
When Lee turned around he nearly dropped the two cups of steaming black coffee when he caught sight of Sabaku no Gaara. The only way he could even begin to describe the other younger boy was in one word and that was: Adorable.
He set the two mugs down on the table and took the black shirt away from the sand ninja, placing in on the other chair and then ushering for the younger teen to have a seat. After Gaara had sat down and reached across the table for his tea did Lee notice that his shirt had fallen down the other shoulder, he watched mesmerized when Gaara pulled it back up over his creamy pale skin in an annoyed manner. The taijutsu specialist grinned and distracted himself but having a sip of the scolding beverage, trying to get his eyes unglued from the other boy's body.
Gaara noticed the odd behavior and raised a non existent eyebrow at him, feeling the same discomfort that Lee had felt only a few minutes before when the Suna native had teased him with his sand. He cupped his hands around the mug and held it close to his mouth, blowing on the hot steam and then tenderly had a sip of his red mug. A small content smile adorned his lips when he pulled the cup away from his mouth, he noticed that the other was still staring and felt his cheeks heat up, not from the coffee.
"W-what?" He whispered breathily, feeling his face redden even more when he saw the dreamy look in the others eyes. "What is it?" He blurted out crossly, then mentally smacked himself for sounding so flustered. He normally didn't sound that harsh unless he was uncomfortable and having someone eye you wasn't exactly the most pleasant feeling.
"I wish I could take a picture of this." He gestured to Gaara's attire, which caused the redhead to frown and demand what was wrong with how he looked, "No, no, you just look so adorable right now, I probably wouldn't be able to get Sakura-san and Tenten-chan to stop fawning all over you.
"w-what?!" The Sand user stuttered out, he opened his mouth slightly and tried to hide behind his coffee cup, which caused his sweater to fall down the opposite shoulder at the sudden act of bashfulness. Gaara noted his temporary lack of normal character and straightened out his posture quickly, and trying to hide his blush, why was it that only Lee ever had this effect on him?
The elder boy stood up and walked around to the other side of the table that the soon-to-be Kazekage was sitting at, when green eyes met amber there was a sort of understanding that passed between them.
Lee slowly and gently lifted the cup from his boyfriend's hands and set it on the table so it wouldn't fall, then gently grabbed Gaara's chin, forcing the other to look up into his face. There was some odd force pulling him towards the other, perhaps it was the innocent look that he adorned, with his cheeks lighting up and the way the shirt dipped low on the neck. It made Lee want to kiss the skin there and find out if it was as soft as it looked, and run his hands across his neck and shoulders.
Gaara didn't know how sexy that shirt made him appear, now if only he could get him without the black pants he would probably look even cuter.
The redhead could feel his heart pump wildly in anticipation when their eyes met, then he held his breath slightly when the beautiful green beast lowered his mouth to his. The kiss was soft and welcoming, the pressure was hardly there, but Gaara could still feel it, his eyes slid shut and he felt the konoha ninja's hand cup the back of his head and push a little more firmly. The smaller of the two responded buy grabbing a fistful of the standing ninja's shirt and pulling him closer then wrapping his arms around his neck. Lee's lips broke away from the Sand ninja's only to capture them once more in a just as soft chaste kiss, he kissed him again and again, while the sand ninja responded every time.
When they finally stopped Lee gently rested his forehead against Sabaku no Gaara's, and smiled when the other breathed out a soft sigh that tickled his cheek. The coffee was forgotten when the two of them stood up and leaned in for another kiss, this one more passionate then the other shy ones. Lee's hands rested on the small of his boyfriend's back and pushed the two of them closer until he could fully wrap his arms around him and their chests were up against each other. The Sand ninja tangled a hand in the others hair then after a few moments stopped and pulled away abruptly.
"You cut your hair!" He exclaimed suddenly, running his hands through the new shaggy locks that once used to be straight and all the same length. The other boy chuckled and muttered something to the effect of 'bout time', which caused the smaller and slimmer of the two to blush in aggravation of his own lack of observation. "It… looks good on you…" He ruffled the black strands lightly before starting to pull his hand away, in a flash Lee grabbed the arm when it was nearing his cheek and gently kissed the wrist lovingly.
"Thank you…" the hot breath trickled down the tender skin of Gaara's wrist and he curled his fingertips up and watched awestruck as Lee pressed his lips lightly and softly to his veins there. "You look good in my shirt," He observed absently, leaning in to touch the naked skin of his exposed neck with a small kiss.
His love's face heated up once more, he loved every single thing he was experiencing then, including the warmth that had erupted in the pit of his stomach and reached from the tips of his toes to the top strands of his red hair.
Lee took the smaller hand between his own two hands and frowned slightly at the coldness there, he breathed into the hands and rubbed the palm slightly trying to warm the sand ninja up. "You're so cold Gaara…" He whispered his name huskily and the younger boy's eyes widened when he realized the lack of horrific AND that Lee had begun pulling him towards the bedroom; he fallowed silently. "Here, it's much warmer in my room," He didn't even bother to turn the lights on, he grabbed a warm dark blue blanket and sat down on the bed against the wall that the bed leaned up to. He still held the redhead's hand in his own and slightly pulled the other onto the bed with him, then frowned when the smaller sat beside him.
"Wait, come here…" He wrapped his arms around the slim middle of his boyfriend and lifted him into his lap, spreading his legs so the Gaara was leaning up against his chest and his legs were on either side of him. He wrapped the blanket across his back and then around Gaara's stomach so it covered the both of them.
Gaara was glad that Lee couldn't see his face and the nice shade of magenta it was, it put his hair to shame but no matter what he didn't want to move from his spot there. He tensed when he felt Lee lean his forehead on his exposed shoulder and he shivered despite himself. As if feeling them and assuming the smaller boy to still be cold, he wrapped his arms closer around him and pulled him even closer.
The heir to Suna wrapped his arms around the martial artist's and leaned contently against the broad chest and toned upper body of his boyfriend. Even though Lee was considered tall and thin, Gaara's slim and slightly shorter body fitted his perfectly, his hands intertwined into the others. They rested there in a comfortable silence; the redhead could feel his lover's heartbeat up against his back, beating in a steady calm rhythm.
It was the moments like this Gaara remembered why he had decided to stay in Konoha for such a long time, but his mind immediately sobered when he remembered that he would eventually have to drag himself back to Suna. That meant that he would see less and less of the man sitting there with him and even though he was wrapped up in his arms he still started to feel alone. He leant back and surrendered to the warm embrace completely; leaning his temple to the raven-haired boy's chin. He could feel the cleansing breaths ruffle the top of his messy red hair every time the green beast breathed out.
Emerald green eyes slowly closed, relaxing completely, he could just see Temari's worried face when she got back that night after her date with that shadow guy and realize that her younger brother was missing. Knowing his blonde elder sister, if he wasn't home by morning she would come banging on Lee's door, or even before then if she was really restless. He hazily remembered thinking about getting up and leaving before the early morning but all it took was for the boy behind him to move slightly and for his thigh to brush up against the sand ninja's hip to remember why he was staying.
He supposed that if it was nice out in the morning he would get up and leave.
Drip-drop-drip-drop-drip-drop.
It was lightly at first, and then the sound of the rain got heavier and louder on the roof above them, Lee was the first to say anything after their hour or so of silence.
"It looks like you won't be going home tonight Gaara…" Why was it that no matter how innocent the Konoha ninja made it sound, to the Suna ninja is sounded suggestive? "It's raining pretty heavily…did you want to lie down?" The way he leant his head down and whispered so softly in the desert shinobi's ear made the previous blush come back, but this time just a little.
Too dazed and comfortable to say much else, the red head nodded slightly then cursed the cold room when Lee unwrapped the blanket from around them and pulled the covers back on the single bed. Gaara groggily crawled underneath the covers and waited for Lee to throw the covers over them before he tilted his head up and shared another kiss with him once more.
Rock Lee wrapped his arms around his boyfriend once more, this time however, Sabaku no Gaara let his head rest underneath his dearest friends chin and wrapped his own arms around the middle of the other's lean but muscled middle.
They fell asleep listening to the rain.
