Chapter three

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...that privelage belongs to Masashi Kishimoto-sama. Though I do have a Gaara key chain and Sunagakure gloves.

Gaara looked up at the building in front of them in apprehension. He had known that it was gonna be bad, but not this bad. The name of the building was Photogenix and it was a place where you could do a professional photo shoot if you really wanted to. This was Naruto's gift? He looked at the blond in question and Naruto replied,

"So, you don't like it?"
There was such a look of hurt on his face that Gaara couldn't help but say,

"No...I like it...it's just a little surprising that's all."
Naruto saw through his facade and said,

"If you really don't want to do this, then you don't have to...we can do something else."

Gaara bit his lip and said,

"You wouldn't mind if we did something else?"
"No...I'd understand."

Gaara smiled and said,

"Can we do something else then? I really don't like getting my picture taken."

Naruto put on a fake smile and said,

"Sure, we can do something else."
As Gaara turned around, he bumped into something solid. He took a step back and looked up...only to see the very last pereson that he wanted to see; his ex, Neji Hyuga. The look that Gaara was receiving from the brunet was one of surprise.

"What are you doing here, Gaara?"
Said teen backed away and looked quickly at Naruto. The blond was looking at something else...or should I say, someone else. For there next to Neji stood Naruto's ex, Sasuke Uchiha. They were looking each other over with mild interest from Sasuke and pure loathing from Naruto.

"What are you doing here, dobe?"
Naruto looked away and went over to Gaara.

"Come on, let's get out of here," he whispered.

"What's the matter? Didn't expect to run into us here?" Sasuke asked.

"Of course they didn't...can you see the looks on their faces?"

Naruto gritted his teeth and tried to pull Gaara aside. Gaara though, had another idea. He looked straight into Neji's eyes and said,

"We're here to take pictures for fun, unlike you two who probably only do this so that you can look at yourselves later like the egotistical bastards that you are."

Naruto laughed quietly at the astonished look on Neji's face and said,

"Good one."

He pulled Gaara into a hug and kissed him softly. He enjoyed it immensly when Gaara stood up to Neji, but it happened so rarely that he almost never saw it. Sasuke glared at the offending red head and replied,

"Who'd want a picture of you?"

When it came to Sasuke however, Gaara shied away and hid his face in Naruto's neck. He fought with those thoughts all the time and didn't need reminding. Naruto looked around at Sasuke and said,

"I do. I can't imagine why you guys need even more pictures of yourselves unless you two really are ego-centric and self-centered...oh wait...you are."

With that, Naruto turned and he and Gaara went into the building. Gaara grinned like a cheshire cat and laid his head on Naruto's shoulder.

"Thanks for that," he whispered.

"No problem...besides, it doesn't hurt to tell the truth every once in a while."

(A/N: Okay, the next chapter is the photo shoot, so if I get enough reviews then I'll add a lemon within the next chapter or two. Aaaahhh...the wonderful yaoi-ness...soon the whole world will be into yaoi, then we can rule the world!! Besides, the dark side has cookies...who wouldn't want to join the dark side? Read and review please! Ja!)
