Chapter 6: Hugs

There was never a butterfly…

When I had left the room and began eavesdropping on their conversation, at first I was pissed. Actually there is no word to describe the immense anger I felt for the Uchiha at that moment. But, then that emotion had changed to sadness. Sadness of thinking that Naruto was IN love with the Dark haired boy, that he will never love me…

Then it turned into happiness…

When Naruto began explaining the kind of love he felt for the Uchiha, new hope raised in my heart. Now I had a chance and the Uchiah was doomed to marry his pink haired teammate.

But that was just the calm before the storm.

Then the Uchiha tired to kiss Naruto (again!) and that's when I had to do something. I quickly entered the office, grabbed the closest thing near me (which was a chair) and threw it forward blindly. Ironically it hit a window. At least it got their attention (and the Uchiha away form my Naruto). So I shooed the Uchiha form the office and got the meeting up and running again. I was already seated when the Uchiha left so Naruto took a seat across from me.

"So the butterfly thing…" Naruto said looking at me straight in the eye.

"That only happened once" I said in defense hoping Naruto wouldn't go into another lecture about animal abuse.

"Yeah, the other five times it was a bird" he argued back, a damn sexy smirk on his face.

I paused for a second and pointed at him saying "You saw nothing" with a stern look on my face.

Naruto was silent for a second before looking down at his lap, "…Damn, Gaara, you saved my ass"

I just shrugged saying "It's what I do" and I will keep doing it till the day we die.

Naruto had then Given me the brightest smile I have ever seen from him (I bet Sasuke never got these kind of smiles from him) and I couldn't help but give a smile of my own (and it was a grin to boot). I knew this moment couldn't last long so I told him "Mr. Whiskers, I believe we should start the meeting soon." His smile died down a little but not fully. The conversation had started out like all the others but Naruto always seemed to have this distant look on his face…

"Gaara…" His voice and smile had become soft, and he was looking at me with…affection?

"Gaara…what you did earlier…when Sasuke was here…" He was looking down at his hands (which were currently sitting on his lap) a tiny blush on his face, "I really appreciate it and…and I want you to always be there for me…"

I could feel my own face heat up as he was saying these words…could it be that Naruto…?

"And well, I want to be there for you too…" He looked up at me, my eyes meeting his (and my mouth was hanging open right now so I probably looked funny to him at the moment) "What I'm saying is that…"

I gulped down a lump I felt in my throat, tried to slow down my breathing, I could even feel my heart beating 100 miles a second.

"I love you"

He then raised from his seat and lunged at me giving me a tight hug, knocking us both to the ground (him on top of me). All I could do was lay there as Naruto hugged me, my eyes wide. Did I jus hear him right? Did Naruto really say he loved me…? I turned my head and was faced with soft blonde hair and I couldn't help but inhale his scent. What he smelled like could not be described…it was just Naruto, all I knew was that it was a wonderful scent.

I shakily raised my arms up and wrapped them around Naruto's waist (with his around my neck) and closed my eyes, hoping this moment would never end.

Too bad it did.

Me and Naruto could've just laid there all day but no! The pink haired girl had come back and didn't even bother to knock so when she found us like that she gasped and yelled out "Naruto?"

My eyes snapped back open and I felt Naruto lift his head up to look at the intruder while I just tilt my head back (it looked like she was standing on the ceiling).

It took a while for her existence to process for a while until Naruto quickly scrambled off of me and ran to greet the pink haired girl. I rolled over onto to my stomach (annoyed as hell) and watched as Naruto waved at the girl, scratching the back of his head. I slowly stood up, not really wanting to get up from the exact spot me and Naruto just a while ago were cuddling together, and walked up to them.

"So Sakura-chan what brings you here" Naruto asked the girl (who now I know her name is Sakura but will probably still forget it in an hour).

She still looked a little shocked by what she saw a while ago but then slowly snapped out of it answering with "Well, I came here looking for Sasuke-kun…I can't find him anywhere."

Oh God damnit…

Even without him being here, he always seems to somehow ruin any chance/conversation/moment I have with Naruto! Did he put a curse on me or something! Stupid son of a whore! I swear I'm gonna-Damn I'm pissed!

Luckily on the outside I looked stoic and suave as if nothing was happening…

Naruto must have sensed something was wrong because he put a hand on my shoulder, explaining to Sakura that Sasuke had just left his office a little while ago.

That small gesture calmed me down to only angry and not gonna-rip-your-balls-off pissed. It helped though…

Sakura had looked disappointed that Sasuke was not here and left, leaving me and Naruto alone again. Naruto took his hand off my shoulder and walked towards the chair we knocked down earlier, putting it right side up. Then he had just stood there, his hand on the chair, his eyes with a far away look in them.

I didn't know what he was thinking but since he had told me he had loved me (oh god even the thought of it makes me ecstatic) made me brave. So I walked up to him and hugged him from behind, my arms wrapped around his waist (because Semes always wrap their arms around the Ukes waist). He leaned back into me and sighed, placing his hands on top of mine.

And there we go again, having another romantic moment…

And I was loving it!

We had started to have a meeting but in the end, we both sat in the little sofa he had at the side of the office, our arms wrapped around the other and just cuddling….

Hmmm, I need to remember to buy the ramen I had promised Naruto earlier…

That'll hopefully earn me a kiss.
