Hello readers! Thank you for all the lovely reviews, they feed my soul! Here's Kakashi for disclaimer!

Kakashi: Isn't it obvious that Tina-chan doesn't own Naruto?

Iruka: Now now, don't be mean Kakashi.

Tina-chan: Only Iruka-kun loves me! (glomps him)

Kakashi: (glare)

Warnings: You should know by now, right?

Gaara woke up feeling unusually warm.

'…Wait. Woke up? I sleep?'

Then Gaara remembered what happened yesterday.

'Naruto…'

Naruto was now in Gaara's arms, but he still had his arms around Gaara's waist. Gaara smiled at his sleeping form.

'Wow, wait. I'm smiling? WTF?'

Just then Naruto decided to wake up and stare at Gaara. Gaara was smiling at him.

'… Gaara's smiling. WTF? First he blushed, now he's smiling? Am I in some alternate universe or something?'

Though he was shocked, Naruto had to admit that Gaara had a nice smile.

'Bet I'm the first person he's ever smiled at too! Now I feel special…'

Deciding to break the awkward silence, Naruto hugged Gaara.

"Did ya have a nice sleep Gaara?"

Gaara put on his usual emotionless expression.

"…yes."

Naruto looked at him and grinned.

"Okay, you have to wear jeans today okay!"

"…Fine."

Naruto dragged Gaara to the closet and opened it. Gaara sure had a lot of clothes for someone who wore the same outfit practically every day…

"Hey Gaara?"

"… What?"

"How come you have so many clothes if you never wear any of them?"

"…Temari-nee bought them for me."

"Alright, I changed my mind! You can pick out my outfit if I can pick out your entire outfit!"

Gaara agreed. What could be wrong with that?

(Ten minutes later…)

"…No."

"What! You promised Gaara! You have too!"

"NO"

"Pleeeeeeeeeese? For me?"

Naruto gave him his best watery chibi eyes. Gaara would never admit it, but he was powerless against those eyes.

"…Okay."

Gaara came out of the bathroom wearing jeans, a shirt, and… A panda ear beanie. Naruto thought that it looked awesome.

"Gaara, you look so cool! I love it!"

"…It's got ears."

"It looks really good on you!"

If Naruto thought it looked good, then Gaara would wear it. But the shirt…

"…Does the shirt look good too?"

"Yeah! It's definitely you!"

Gaara was wearing a green shirt with a panda on it. Everything he was wearing was from the Jadepanda© clothes company. Gaara wondered if Naruto liked pandas… The truth was Naruto did. Pandas reminded him of Gaara, so therefore, Naruto liked pandas.

"… My turn."

Naruto briefly wondered why Gaara wanted to pick out his clothes. Did Gaara even know how to match clothes to make an outfit? I mean, his sister had picked out his entire wardrobe...

Naruto later found himself in tan cargo shorts, an orange T-shirt with the word FOXY on the front, and a fox ear beanie. Gaara was very proud of himself. Naruto was rather shocked.

'Hey, this actually looks good. Maybe Gaara and I should always pick out each other's outfits!'

The two boys walked downstairs. Gaara stopped dead when he smelled food in the air. Was Temari cooking?

"…Naruto."

"Yeah?"

"If we walk in there and Temari's cooking, RUN."

"…Um, why?"

"…Last time neesan tried to cook, Kankuro got food poisoning and ended up in the hospital for a week"

"How come you didn't get sick?"

Gaara smirked.

"I gave my food to the sand when Temari-nee wasn't looking."

The boys walked into the kitchen to see… Sakura cooking. They were, to say the least, surprised.

"Sakura-chan? What are you doing here?"

Sakura looked at Naruto as if completely surprised to see him.

"Naruto! I didn't know you were here! Temari-chan invited me for breakfast."

Gaara briefly wondered when Temari had made a friend. Then he wondered why Temari had made a friend with someone who knew Naruto… Definitely suspicious. He was interrupted from his musings when Kankuro came into the kitchen. The first thing the puppet master did was stare at Gaara. He was shocked.

"Gaara, what are you wearing?"

Temari and Sakura both looked at Gaara and noticed his outfit for the first time. Gaara was wearing a panda beanie. Then they looked at Naruto and his fox beanie. Then they got identical evil glints in their eyes and brought out cameras.

"We need pictures!"

Before Gaara or Naruto could act, the crazed fangirls snapped pictures and hid their cameras. Gaara stared disbelievingly while Naruto looked slightly embarrassed.

"…Temari-nee!"

"Sakura-chan!"

The two girls smiled sweetly at them.

"Otouto, that outfit looks so good on you! Did you pick it out yourself?"

"What about you Naruto? Did you pick your own outfit also?"

"Uh, Gaara and I kinda picked each others outfits."

Naruto looked down, embarrassed. Gaara was glaring at Temari, Temari and Sakura were practically swooning from the cuteness of that idea, and Kankuro was in shock. Gaara decided to end the awkwardness.

"Let's eat, Naruto."

"Okay."

"Neesan? You might want to slap Kankuro-baka or something. He looks kind of dead."

So Gaara and Naruto ate breakfast while Temari and Sakura tried to snap Kankuro out of his shock.

Iruka felt warm. Not feverishly hot, but warm. He snuggled in closer to Kakashi. Wait, snuggled into Kakashi?

'Oh kami.'

Iruka realized that he was in Kakashi's arms. He also realized that he liked being in Kakashi's arms. It made him feel warm and secure.

'Guess I do like Kakashi… but I don't know how far that feeling goes. Guess I'm in the same boat as Naruto-kun. How is this going to end, I wonder…'

He looked up to see Kakashi staring at him. Being Iruka, he of course had to blush and turn about fifty shades of red. Kakashi found that strangely endearing.

"Ohayo Iruka-sensei. Did you have a good sleep?"

"Hai. Anou… Kakashi-san?"

"Hai?"

"Anou, if you wanted, you could just call me Iruka. I mean, there's no need to be so formal, right?"

Kakashi was slightly surprised, but in a good way. Was Iruka hinting that he was interested now too? Kakashi did a mental victory dance in his head. Now he could truly start the courtship process…

"Alright, but only if you call me Kakashi."

Iruka, if possible, blushed even deeper.

"Hai, Kakashi. Um, could you let go now? I have to change…"

Kakashi did his eye smile and got out of the bed completely. He really didn't want to, but he had to give Iruka his space, right?

"I'll go start breakfast."

Gaara and Naruto had left the place where Gaara was staying and were walking down the street. The street was mostly empty since it was so early, and they didn't get a lot of strange looks. Then they ran into Lee and Neji. Lee stared at Gaara, speechless for probably the first time in his life. Neji stared at Naruto, and Gaara didn't like the look in the Hyuuga's eyes… Before he could comment however, Lee snapped out his surprise and went into his (if you could call it that) normal state.

"Gaara! Are you trying to rediscover your youth by changing your outfit? The ears on your hat do seem to give you a youthful glow! Yosh! Maybe wearing a hat with ears would increase my youthful glow! I must share this information with Gai-sensei! Yosh!"

Lee ran off to find Gai, leaving Gaara and Naruto with Neji. Gaara glared at Neji out of reflex, and Neji glared back.

"… What are you looking at Hyuuga?"

"Hi Neji! How are you?"

Neji looked at the two, wondering why they were wearing animal ear beanies. He thought that Naruto looked rather endearing with his fox ear beanie, but Gaara looked… weird, to say the least.

"…I'm alright Naruto. Who gave you that stupid hat Gaara?"

"His hat isn't stupid Neji! For your information, I picked it out!"

Naruto stuck his tongue out at Neji and dragged Gaara away before he could kill the Hyuuga for calling his hat stupid and upsetting Naruto. They left a somewhat confused Neji wondering why Gaara had let Naruto pick his clothes…. Interesting.

Naruto dragged Gaara over to Iruka's house to see how the chuunin was doing. He knocked and Iruka answered the door, looking somewhat surprised to see the two together. Then he noticed what they were wearing. His eyes opened wide and he gaped at them.

"Anou sa, anou sa, what's wrong Iruka-sensei?"

"Um, hello Naruto-kun, hello Gaara-kun. What brings you here?

"We wanted to see how you were doing. Is Kakashi-sensei still here?"

"Hai, he is. Come in, we just finished breakfast."

Naruto pulled Gaara into the apartment. They saw Kakashi sitting lazily on a couch reading his infamous book. Iruka saw him and glared.

"Kakashi! Please refrain from reading that disgusting book in front of kids!"

Kakashi immediately put his book away, and seemed to wilt when he saw Iruka glaring at him. Naruto briefly wondered when Iruka had started to refer Kakashi without the usual honorific of –san or –sensei. Gaara stood there feeling out of place, and Naruto noticed. He immediately slipped his hand into Gaara's and gave it a reassuring squeeze. Gaara seemed to relax slightly, and Naruto smiled at him. None of this went unnoticed by Kakashi.

"So are you two dating now?"

Gaara stiffened again and Naruto went a slight shade of pink. Iruka noticed this and raised an eyebrow.

"Is Gaara the person you were asking about Naruto?"

Naruto turned bright red and Gaara was curious as to what he had been asking his former teacher about.

"Are you two using protection?"

"NANI!"

Naruto immediately turned to Kakashi and started to scream at him for being a hentai, and that he should mind his own damn business. Gaara's ears had turned red, which was noticed by Iruka.

"Gaara-kun, have you two…?"

"…NO."

Iruka took one look at the expression Gaara had on his face and decided that he was telling the truth. At least he knew he didn't have to worry about the boys doing anything to one another… at least not yet. Naruto was still yelling at Kakashi, who seemed to be amused at the boy's outburst.

"By the way, nice hat you're wearing. Bet you didn't pick it out yourself, ne?"

"Nope, Gaara picked it out!"

Naruto said this with a hint of pride in his voice, and that made Gaara warm inside. No one had ever been proud of him before.

"Aw, how sweet. Hey, would you let me pick out your clothes too Iruka?"

Iruka turned bright red.

"Why would Iruka-sensei let you pick out his clothes? You're a Hentai!"

"How can you be so cruel to your sensei Naruto?"

"Hentai!"

Gaara was getting bored, so he pinched Naruto on the arm. Naruto stopped arguing with Kakashi to stare at him.

"Gaara?"

"… I'm bored. Let's go do something."

"Okay! Let's walk around some more! Hey Kakashi, don't you have anything better to do than hang around Iruka-sensei?"

"It's okay Naruto-kun, we were just going out."

"NANI!"

Iruka blushed when he realized how that must have sounded.

"Um, we were just going to wander around and stuff…"

Iruka trailed off and blushed again. Naruto stared at him before deciding to pry later. He pulled Gaara through the door once again.

"Let's go!"
