Robin: OKAY, so it took FOREVER. Sorry about that, I haven't been able to write anything for a while. But now I'm back, so be happy and give me cookies! Well, from here on out I'm not really sure, so I have a little question for you all… do you want gaanaru or narugaa? Which of these lovely boys do you want to be the seme, and which the uke? That's the big question; submit your answer via review, please.

Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure if I owned it it wouldn't be on cartoon network, and Naruto-kun would NEVER say "believe it!"

"Now what?"

He asks for the second time, it takes a minute for my mind to grasp the fact that he's actually talking, and I look up, face still burning.

"Huh?"

"I… don't really know about this kind of thing…" his voice trails off, he looks around, spotting something, he gets up and walks to the other end of the large, dark room, picking up a book and returning to the bed, sitting down a little farther away this time.

He flips through the pages for a few minutes with a slightly puzzled look on his face, then closes it, giving me a chance to read the title, before he opens it again, this time to the table of contents.

'"The Idiot's Guide to Dating" why the heck would Gaara be looking through THAT?'

'HE JUST SAID HES NOT GOOD AT THIS KIND OF THING, Kami-sama, you're an idiot… cant you put two and two together…He doesn't know what to do next?!'

'But, c'mon, a book? That's so lame, that's so…cute.'

A small smile creeps across my face and I try to stifle a giggle, with no avail.

Gaara just turns and glares.

"What are YOU laughing at?"

"Ah! Gommen! Don't be mad… it was just so…cute!"

He immediately looks away, and I think I almost see a slight blush creep upon his pale cheeks; he just drops the book to the floor, then turns back at me.

"Well then what now?"

"Well, I like you, and you like me….right?"

Those words coming out of my mouth make my heart race all over again.

'He likes me. He likes me. HE EFFING LIKES ME!!!' I mentally scream.

He just nods slightly, dull look plastered on again.

"Well then…err… shouldn't we… err… go… out… now…?"

I stammer out, almost not believing the words I'm speaking, he just pauses, looks away for a second, then nods again.

"So…err… want to be my…boyfriend?" I ask, stuttering to a whole new degree now, my face feeling like I just shoved it into the oven.

He turns around for a second, and I can see that pink tent creep onto his cheeks even more visible now, and I just cant believe how ridiculously cute Konoha High's "scariest guy ever" is.

He finally turns back around, the color gone, and almost whispers out the word "…yes."

And with that word, I, Naruto Uzumaki, have a boyfriend.

Not just any boyfriend… but Gaara, the image of perfection.

It gets quiet, but I don't mind, my brain races with all sorts of things like 'Is it okay to hold his hand?' and 'What are we going to do at school?'

He just sits there, as silent as always, looking around the room, then at his shoes, and then at me, causing my face to light up again.

He opens his mouth for a second, then closes it, then leans in a bit, parting his perfectly pink lips, drawing closer.

'This is it…our first kiss as a couple, I can't believe it…'

My mind starts racing again, I try to shut it up, and focus, his face is only an inch away. He stops, and I stop.

He clears his throat.

"So, now what?"
