AN: Hullo. - This is Spazz. Danii-chans beta. wouldn't work for her, plus she's lazy so I'm updating for her. Also do not worry, the next chapter is half way finished and Gaara and Neji get pretty hot and heavy in it. So wait with baited breath! Later on I'm going to go through all the old chapters, edit them and re-post them. Now enough babble. On with the story!
Recap
"So, where do you want to go?" Neji asked, wrapping his arms around Gaara's waist as he walked out the door.
"I don't know..." The petite red head whispered, leaning into the touch.
"Bowling, movies, my place?" Neji whispered, pulling him closer.
Gaara burried his face into his boyfriends chest. "Think you can help me with something?" He mumbled timidly.
"Of course." Neji replied, still holding him.
"I'm... long overdue for... a visit to someone..."
Take Your Time
"Mom, I want you to meet Neji. My... Boyfriend." Gaara said, placing a single white rose infront of a grand marble cross. Neji looked at Gaara, then at the cross. "My mother died during childbirth so I never got to meet her."
Gaara's voice sounded a tad distressed.
"Gaara? Are you alright?" He whispered, wrapping his arms around the red heads waist from the behind. Gaara quickly turned around and clutched on the front of the brunette's shirt, burrying his face into his chest, his body wracking with sobs. "Gaara... Hush. It's alright."
Neji rubbed circles on Gaara's back and kissed his head. Gaara shook his head. "It's my fault she died." He whispered
Neji pulled him closer. "Don't think like that. Don't. It's alright. It's not your fault."
Gaara pulled away and looked him in the eye. "Neji, I...I'm so sorry.."
Neji kissed his forhead. "It's alright. Really. Just calm down and let's go to my house for now. Calm down."
Gaara rested his head back against Neji's shoulder and took a shuddery breath. "I'd like to go to your house, Neji."
When Neji and Gaara got to Neji's place, Gaara looked on with wide eyes. Neji's place was huge! "It's so much bigger than Sasuke's..."
Neji grinned. Gaara looked sideways and stopped walking. Neji stopped too and gave Gaara a concerned look. The sun was setting right behind Neji. The array of colours behind him made him look dream like. All in all, he looked beautiful.
"Gaara, what..." Gaara snapped out of his trance and blushed.
"Let's go in." He whispered. Neji smiled and lead him into the house.Gaara, still clutching onto Neji's hand, took in everything there was to see. There were Roses, Orchids, Trilliums, Sakura trees and many more. The colours all blended together, purples, pinks, reds, yellows, blues and greens.
Neji lead Gaara up to his room quietly, avoiding contact with his relatives. Upon opening the door to his room, Gaara ran and flopped on Neji's bed. Neji calmly closed the door, walked and sat at the red head's side.
"So big and comfy." Gaara sighed, looking up at the ceiling. The older boy chuckled and started running his hand through Gaara's soft, red locks of hair. Gaara sighed contentedly and closed his eyes. Neji shifted so that he was laying right next to Gaara. The petite boy rolled onto his side and snuggled into Neji's chest, breathing in his scent.
"Thank you." He whispered.
Neji wrapped his arms around Gaara and nuzzled his head. "What for?" He inquired.
Gaara looked up at him. "For helping me, back at my mothers grave."
Neji kissed his forehead. "Don't worry about it."
Gaara leaned up and placed his lips on Neji's. He pulled back briefly before attaching back onto the brunettes mouth. He pulled away a second time when he felt Neji's tongue probe his lips.
"Too soon?" Neji whispered, pulling back to look into Gaara's eyes.
"N-no." Gaara stuttered. "You... you j-just surprised me."
Before Gaara could ramble, Neji kissed him again. This time, instead of pulling back when Neji's probed his lips, Gaara hesitantly opened his mouth to Neji's invading tongue.
