warning:shonen ai implied sex

I still don't own Naruto (sorry guys) but when I do I'll make sure to make Iruka seme Kakashi a couple of times ... on camera ;) ... oh yes.

Oh yeah this chappy will also have the 5 review/favs/alerts things before I add the next chappy.

"Gaara, is it me?" The young prince backed away from his lover's hand.

"Naruto, you know this has nothing to do with you."

"Then why? Why must I leave?" The younger boy's eyes swelled up with tears. "Why can't we be together?"

"You know why. I told you since this all began that we couldn't go on like this forever." The prince turned his back on his step-brother.

"If we hide it we can be together forever. No one will ever find out! Not even suspect!" Naruto clung to the prince's robes as he spoke.

"It wouldn't be fair. If I am to be crowned king, I must marry a woman and create a new heir to the thrown. I couldn't do that with you." Gaara turned on his heels and pulled his clothes out of the gripping fingers that held it. He left the younger prince alone and crying in his chambers.

---5 years ago---

"Now Naruto our new home is a palace. Your step dad is a king of a greater kingdom than our own."

"I don't care, momma. I don't want to go!" The young boy sat stubbornly on the stone steps that led to his old home.

"Its for the good of our country. Please don't be so stubborn and act like the prince you are."

Reluctantly Naruto stood, reached for the fallen crown, which he'd flung only minutes ago and placed it carefully back on his head.

"Fine mother. I will hate it. I know it, but for Konoha I'll go."

---Present---

I remember when we arrived at that castle. It was huge. It could have fit ours five times over. The place was packed with visitors who wanted to see the new queen of Sand. My mother was carried in covered in lace and veils. She looked beautiful. I walked in escorted by six gentlemen all armed with guns. I didn't see any danger. It all felt unnecessary and scripted. The only people trying to get close to me were the girls. I was 15 back then. I was already 15 when I left home. I was only 15 when I met him.

At the top of that long staircase were three grand doors. They were carved with highly detailed flowers and ribbon like waves. That dark stained wood held breathtaking images marked in glass panes. I had been so busy staring at these incredible details I failed to notice one last step. Just as I was about to fall on my knees in front of all these people I felt a tug on my arm that held me up and prevented my fall. I looked up at the young man that held my arm and pretended to reach for my hand. The king? No, he was too young. This must be my new step-brother. He shook my hand and released my arm. The king greeted me and we entered together into the palace where my mother awaited us.

The ceremony was quick. They stood together in front of the man in black while I fiddled with my fingers in the front row. Next to me was the king's son. He was taller than me and probably two or three years older. He stood perfectly still and seemed to absorb the priest's words eagerly. He had loose red hair and beautiful eyes. He turned and found me staring at him. I immediately blushed and turned my face to the front. I heard him chuckle silently and out of the corner of my eye I saw him smile.

The reception seemed to last forever. The bright dresses worn by all the young girls swirled on the dance floor like pretty dancing napkins. The men spotted the color filled area with black tuxes and colored robes. I felt like the only one sitting at a table. I looked out and studied this new place. This would be my home. I'd never see Konoha again. I was a person of Sand now. A prince of Sand.

I was etching the details deep in my mind when suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was him again.

"Thanks for saving my face outside." I didn't know what else to say. He seemed so much more royally educated than I.

"I was saving my father some embarrassment, but either way you're welcome." He answered cruelly, but then I saw him smile at my disappointed face. "I'm kidding."

"Oh, I thought." I started laughing nervously.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Naruto. You?"

"Call me Gaara."

"Prince Gaara." I repeated.

"Yes, Prince Naruto." He mocked.

"Do you know where your new chambers are?" His eyes glistened with mischief.

"No, not yet."

"I'll show them to you. I'm pretty bored of this already. Want to go explore the castle? I'll show you around."

"Sure." I stood up and followed him out the doors. My mother saw me from across the room and smiled. She gave me her approval with that smile and nod. In her mind I was being friendly and getting to know my new brother. In mine I was meeting someone I could finally love.

"Come on run!" Gaara ran across the wide empty halls. Our steps echoed loudly in the cavernous place. "Its this way!" I followed obediently, but still too shy to run and yell as he was.

We came to a stop in front of a large green door which was painted with various golden designs. It was intricate work which must have taken days to carve and paint. He reached for the knob as if the bright yellow gems embedded in the handle where everyday buttons on a suit. He pulled the door open quickly. That smile was still on his face as he pulled me in by the hand.

I looked around admiring it from all angles. The colors were intense and the amount of jewels and gold everywhere was ridiculous.

"Do you like it?" He asked excitedly as if the chains of silence had been released as soon as we exited the party.

"Its lovely." I was still amazed. I looked around the lights were placed in just the right angles to make the room sparkle. My mouth must have been open because his hand came up under my chin and pushed my jaw up delicately.

"I can see you really do like it." He moved back and pushed the door closed.

"I do." I turned expecting him to lead me into another room. Instead I found myself in his arms. He held me close and pushed me onto the bed. I don't know why I didn't stop him. He was captivating. His lips were soft on my virgin mouth. I don't know how he knew the right words. I don't understand how he knew just where to touch me. I just know that I woke up next to the most beautiful man I'd ever met.

"This can't happen all the time Naruto, but that's not to say I regret it." He'd said that early in the morning. The sun wasn't out yet. He stood and dressed while he spoke. I saw him exit and wave goodbye that morning. Just as he would continue to do for the next 5 years.
