Once again, it's been a lot longer than I expected since my last update. I apologize for the delay. I've just been very busy and fanfiction has had to take a backseat to my real life. Also, I've been having severe writer's block. I hope this chapter helps clear it up a little. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or its characters, even though I wouldn't mind owning the Uchiha brothers.
Chapter 5
The sun had already risen enough to cast light into the living room, which had remained dark all night. Sasuke hadn't slept all night, preferring to make the most of his time with Gaara. He was currently kissing Gaara's neck while Gaara rubbed Sasuke's legs. Although Sasuke was no longer wearing a shirt, as Gaara had cast it aside during the night, Gaara was still fully dressed and enjoying the attention he was getting from Sasuke.
Sasuke loved how Gaara's skin tasted against his warm mouth and knew that his boyfriend was enjoying it as much as he was. Although he wanted to run his hands across Gaara's bare body, they had both agreed on one of them staying dressed so as to make the temptations easier to resist. Sasuke didn't mind being the shirtless one because he liked how Gaara's hands felt on his bare skin.
When a ray of light shone against his face, Gaara finally spoke for the first time in hours. "Sasuke, what time is it?"
Sasuke reluctantly pulled his mouth away from Gaara's neck and got up, stumbling as his legs regained feeling. "It's mid-morning," he called, walking back in a moment later.
Gaara stood up. "I have to go."
"Why?" Sasuke asked quickly.
"I'm supposed to have breakfast with my siblings," he replied, putting on his gourd. He pulled Sasuke into a hug and kissed him. "I'll be back later."
"How much later?" Sasuke asked, walking Gaara out.
"Whenever I can get away," Gaara answered truthfully, pecking Sasuke on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you too," Sasuke said, watching as Gaara disappeared in a swirl of sand.
Gaara reappeared inside his room and looked around in surprise. Temari and Kankurou were sitting in his room, their eyes on him. He just stood there, his eyes glancing back and forth between his siblings. For some time, no one spoke. Gaara couldn't think of why his siblings were in his room, clearly waiting on his return.
"Hello, Gaara," Temari said icily. "How nice of you to join us."
"What are you doing in here?" Gaara asked tonelessly.
"Waiting for you, of course," Temari replied.
"I thought we were going to meet for breakfast," Gaara said blankly.
"Oh, we were. And trust me, Kankurou and I were down there for a while. When you didn't come down, we went up to check on you and couldn't help but notice how empty your room was. So, do you mind telling us where you've been?" Temari asked coldly.
"It's not your concern," Gaara replied shortly.
"The hell it isn't!" Kankurou exclaimed, standing up in anger. "You're not just our Kazekage, but our younger brother too! We don't even know how the hell long you've been gone, where you were, or who you were with! Don't tell us that it's not our concern!"
"What makes you think I've been gone for a long time?" Gaara asked.
"Everything thing in this room looked untouched," Temari replied. "We've been in here for almost two hours. So, where have you been?"
"I told you: It's not your concern," Gaara repeated.
"Actually, it is," Kankurou said. "And why keep it a secret? I tell both of you where I go and I'm always back in time for anything. You could try doing that too."
"Unlike you, I don't feel the need to tell my siblings everything," Gaara said. "Now, change the subject."
"Not until you tell us where you were all night!" Temari exclaimed.
"It's not your concern," Gaara snapped, tired of repeating himself. He turned to leave, but halted when Kankurou spoke.
"Hang on," Kankurou said slowly, his eyes fixed on his brother. "Gaara, what's that?"
"What's what?" Gaara asked in an uninterested voice, watching as both of his siblings openly stared at him.
"That thing," Kankurou replied, his tone confused and curious. He walked closer.
Gaara was irritated. "What thing?"
Kankurou continued to stare, his expression changing rapidly. He grabbed Gaara by his shoulders, leaned closer, and gasped. "Oh my god. Temari!"
"What?" Temari asked quickly, jumping out of her chair.
"Gaara…you…" Kankurou couldn't manage to form his sentence, but his expression was comprehensive and amazed. He exhaled quickly and inhaled deeply.
"What is it?" Temari asked urgently.
Kankurou steadied his breathing and turned to his sister. "Gaara has a hickey."
Temari's eyes widened and her fan hit the floor with a loud clatter, her hand covering her mouth. Kankurou looked as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
"I do not," Gaara said loudly and irritably, though his face colored slightly.
"Gaara, I know a hickey when I see one," Kankurou said seriously. "That's definitely a hickey."
Temari walked over to look, still in shock. "He's right," she agreed faintly. "Gaara, how did you get that?"
"Forget that," Kankurou said quickly. "Who gave it to you?"
Gaara tried to ignore his flushed face. "No one."
"Bullshit," Kankurou said at once. "You can't just magically get a hickey. Someone must've given it to you."
"You can tell us," Temari added. "We won't judge you."
Gaara paled his face out. "It's not your concern."
Kankurou smirked. "So you'll admit that you do have a hickey."
Gaara ignored him. "Let's go eat now."
Temari shook her head. "They've already cleared out breakfast. You'll have to eat somewhere else."
"Fine," Gaara replied shortly.
Before either of his siblings could say or do anything, Gaara disappeared in a swirl of sand. He reappeared in Sasuke's kitchen, where Sasuke stood at his sink. He didn't hear or see Gaara.
In a swift movement, Gaara was behind Sasuke. "Surprise," he whispered in Sasuke's ear, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend's waist.
Sasuke gasped. "Gaara! I wasn't expecting you back so soon," he said, turning around and embracing his boyfriend.
"I got hungry and I figured I'd eat with you," Gaara replied.
"Alright, let me get some food."
While Sasuke prepared a quick breakfast for them, Gaara leaned against the wall, watching the other boy. Sasuke wanted to please Gaara with his "cooking", but wasn't too worried if it wasn't that great. He could feel Gaara's eyes on him the entire time he was fixing breakfast. He turned and gave Gaara an inquisitive look.
"I like watching you," Gaara said blankly.
Sasuke smiled. "Breakfast is ready."
Gaara unstrapped his gourd and sat down across from Sasuke, his eyes still focused on the other boy. Sasuke could feel his face reddening under Gaara's constant gaze. While he ate, he continued to stare, which made Sasuke squirm a little.
"Do you have to stare?" Sasuke asked quietly. "I mean, no offense, but it's just a little creepy."
Gaara blinked. "I like watching you," he repeated blankly. "I don't think it's creepy."
Sasuke sighed. "Will you be staying?"
"No. I have a meeting in a few hours."
"Again?"
Sasuke's tone of surprise made Gaara smile. "Well, I'm the Kazekage. It's part of my job." He sighed. "We have a situation that I think you should know of."
"A situation?" Sasuke repeated, his brows furrowing.
"When I returned to my room earlier, my siblings were waiting for me." He took a deep breath. "They noticed that I have a hickey on my neck."
Sasuke dropped his glass. "Oh shit. Do they suspect anything? Do they know?"
Gaara shook his head. "They don't know, but they suspect that I'm with someone. If they suspect any specific person, they didn't show it."
Sasuke ran his fingers through his hair. "Should we be worried?"
"I doubt it," Gaara answered, getting up and sliding onto Sasuke's lap. "Unless I tell, them or they see us, I'm sure we'll be fine." He leaned down and kissed Sasuke. "I noticed that you didn't put your shirt back on," he whispered.
Sasuke smirked. "I noticed that you didn't take your shirt off yet," he said, his hands lifting said shirt up.
As soon as Gaara's shirt came off, Sasuke tossed it to the side and Gaara knocked Sasuke onto his back, capturing his lips in a kiss. Sasuke's hands moved to Gaara's sides and he gripped his boyfriend's body firmly. Gaara's hands slid up and down Sasuke's chest. Sasuke tightened his grip and sat up quickly. He used one hand to knock away their breakfast and pushed Gaara onto the table, never breaking their kiss. When Sasuke fully climbed on top of Gaara, both boys heard a cracking noise. A moment later, all four table legs snapped off and the table went crashing down, bringing the two boys with it. However, neither boy paid the slightest bit of attention and continued their intense kiss.
Gaara's hands gripped tightly onto Sasuke's hips and he flipped them over, so Gaara would be on top again. Sasuke had a sudden idea and, without breaking the kiss, sat up. Gaara wrapped his legs around Sasuke's waist and Sasuke stood up, his hands gripping Gaara's thighs to keep him in place. Sasuke began walking slowly to his bedroom. He kicked the door closed behind them and dropped onto the bed, Gaara now on bottom. They continued to kiss, their hands roaming across each other's bare chests and arms.
Gaara tightened his legs around Sasuke's waist and rolled over on top of his boyfriend. His mouth moved down to Sasuke's neck and Sasuke's hands slid up and down Gaara's bare back. Gaara moved his mouth back up to Sasuke's lips, giving him a brief kiss. When Gaara's mouth returned to Sasuke's neck, the other boy sighed contently.
Sasuke's hands slid down to Gaara's legs and began rubbing them through the fabric. When Sasuke's hands moved up to grope Gaara, he started and accidentally bit down hard on Sasuke's neck, drawing blood. Sasuke inadvertently cried out in pain.
"Oh shit!" Gaara exclaimed, gazing horror-struck at his boyfriend's bleeding neck. "Sasuke, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that."
"It's fine," Sasuke said quickly, grabbing a cloth and holding it on his neck. He chuckled. "Remind me to never grab you again."
Gaara scowled. "I was just surprised and you know it." He sighed. "Are you gonna be ok?"
"Only if you kiss me," Sasuke replied with a smirk.
Gaara smiled and pressed his lips gently against Sasuke's. One hand still holding the cloth, Sasuke used his free hand to grab the back of Gaara's head bring their lips into a fierce kiss. Gaara's hands rested on Sasuke's chest, rubbing it gently.
After quite some time, Sasuke's neck stopped bleeding and the two boys emerged from the bedroom. Gaara grabbed his gourd from the hall and Sasuke walked him to the door, reluctant to say goodbye again.
"Are you sure you have to go?" Sasuke asked, a hint of sadness in his voice.
"I have a meeting," Gaara answered. "Go get some sleep while I'm gone."
"Will you come back tonight?" Sasuke asked quickly.
"Definitely," Gaara replied, kissing Sasuke again. "You know I can't stay away."
Sasuke smirked. "Well, I guess I'll see you later."
They shared another kiss and Gaara walked outside. Sasuke watched from the doorway as Gaara disappeared in a swirl of sand. As soon as the last of the sand was gone, Sasuke closed the door, walked to his room, and collapsed on the bed, falling asleep instantly.
End Chapter 5
Well, I'm not too sure how I feel about that chapter. I wrote it a while back and only made some minor edits. My writer's block is still really bad, so I don't know when I'll be updating again. I'll try to get another chapter in before the end of the month. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Chapter 6 coming soon!
