Chapter 5

The following morning Naruto crawled out of bed. He did not sleep very well for he couldn't get those traumatizing images out of his mind. He wished someone would have stayed with him. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. It wasn't just a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach, but the longing urge for Gaara's touch.

"Oh, how I want HIM," Naruto proclaimed, a tingly sensation pulsing thru his veins. Just as he said this, a loud knock was heard coming from his door. Naruto jumped; startled he staggered to the door. He flung the door open and tiredly said, "WHAT!" There, standing within a few inches from him was Gaara.

"Morning, Naru. Are you ready for school yet? Um, are you feeling okay? You left before I could say goodbye…it's just…I missed you so much last night, all alone in my cold bed." Naruto, weak-kneed nearly collapsed in Gaara's arms upon hearing this statement.

The walk to school was harsh. Naruto could just barely keep himself from grabbing Gaara and taking him behind the bushes. Oh, he soo wanted him. Naruto knew that he always had feelings for Gaara, but for some reason, the desire has escalated beyond his control. Just standing beside him made Naruto tingle.

sigh "Man, this is gunna be a long day," thought Naruto to himself.

Classes began with nothing out of the ordinary.

"So far so good," Naruto praised.

The first two classes went by slowly. Naruto's nerves were on edge. Gaara sensed something was wrong for he never has seen Naruto so tense. He leaned over slightly towards Naruto and whispered, "Are you really okay? Did what you see yesterday upset you that much?"

Naruto jerked, "Um…yeah. I guess." He didn't want to tell Gaara what was really making him twitchy, at least not in the middle of class.

The next class, however, really tested Naruto. It was Gym, and Kakashi along with Gai, were going to teach the class how important it was to work together with their fellow teammates. They grouped the students in twos, tying a rope to each of their ankles. The groups then had to work together to gather certain objects around the school within a time limit. Of course, there was going to be times when they would need to fight and defend themselves. It sounded easy enough, except that Naruto's partner was Gaara. Kakashi then sent the class off. There was a few close calls for Naruto; Gaara would leap near him, or brush against him slightly when they would have to squeeze closer together to fit through the trees outside of school.

Gaara noticed this, and inquired to himself, "Hmm, I don't think what happened yesterday is really the thing that is bothering Naruto. I wonder…"

At lunch, Gaara and Naruto snatched their lunches and were looking for a place to sit. Gaara looked outside and said innocently, "Hey, Naruto. Let's go outside, it's nice out today."

Naruto just nodded. They found a tree off to the side of school, where they could sit alone and out of sight from the others. The butterflies began to turn in Naruto's stomach.

"Control yourself, Naruto. You can do this! We are just eating lunch," he said trying to convince himself.

Gaara sat down first. Then said annoyingly, "Ugh! It is warmer than I thought." He began to slowly unbutton his shirt. Naruto nearly choked on the bite he just put into his mouth.

cough, cough "Do…do you need a drink?" Naruto asked, trying desperately not to look at Gaara's chiseled body. "OH…GOD! I can't stay in control when he is sitting there…half naked…doesn't he know how tempting he looks!" cried Naruto loudly in his head.

"Sure," was Gaara's reply. "Now, let's test my theory," he mentally inquired.

When Naruto handed a soda over to Gaara, Gaara's hand wrapped around Naruto's and he leaned in, saying with a soft voice, "Thanks!"

Naruto flushed a radiant red, and turned quickly away using the excuse of getting a drink for himself.

"Ah, BINGO! So that's what's bothering him. This is going to be fun!" Gaara thought, a wicked smile beginning to curl upon his lips. He then pulled himself to sit a few inches away from Naruto, just to see what reaction Naruto was going to make. Naruto snorted, soda gushing out his nose. Gaara couldn't help but laugh, he didn't expect that to happen. He then picked up a napkin and while apologizing, gingerly wiped Naruto's face clean. Naruto's cheeks flushed red yet again. Just before Naruto could say or do anything, the end-of-lunch bell rang.

"Oh, I guess we should head back," Gaara said with disappointment, buttoning his shirt back up.

Naruto clutched his chest, his heart was beating wildly. "Thank god! I don't know how much more of that I could take! One more class, just one more class!" he mumbled under his breath.

Even though everyone hated Science class, Naruto thanked the gods that this was the last class. They were taking an exam, which meant; no talking, no partners, and no pervy test subjects.

"I can handle this," Naruto declared to himself, breathing in deeply.

The class was silent. The only noises heard were pencils scrapping against paper, an occasional flip of a page from a book, and a few people murmuring to themselves. Near the end of class, Orochimaru walked around, collecting the students' papers. The class was now free to talk for the remaining time.

"Yes! Only a few more minutes!" proclaimed Naruto.

The familiar ringing of the school bell rang out across the halls. Time to go home!

Gaara was gathering his book and papers, and putting them into his backpack, knocked his pencil off his desk.

Without even thinking Naruto bent down and picked it up exactly at the same moment as Gaara. Their hands touched, Naruto glanced up quickly. Gaara's face was within kissing distance.

Naruto went bright red and swiftly handed Gaara his pencil.

"Um thanks, Naru. I was wondering, if you didn't have any plans this evening, would you like to come over for a while. We can work on that English project Jiraiya-sensei gave us today. Temari and Kankuro are out so we will have the place to ourselves," posed Gaara.

"Sounds good," Naruto said. His eyes brightened while pondering to himself, "Oh, yes! This is my chance! We can work on more than just the English project…"

They arrived at Gaara's, and he was right. The place was dark and silent, no lights on anywhere, and no one to disturb them.

Gaara stated to Naruto, "You can head to my room if you want. Please make yourself comfortable. If you want, you can change into something more relaxed. There are some spare cloths in my top drawer. I just need to check if Temari or Kankuro left any messages."

Naruto decided to go to Gaara's room. Once he was inside, he took his shirt off and went to Gaara's dresser. He pulled out a pair of boxers, "Oh, these will do nicely," and changed into them. It was nice and dark in the room and the cool air felt good against his skin. He chose to leave the lights off. He liked it better that way for it put him into the mood. He then heard footsteps outside the door.

Gaara entered saying, "I was right. Temari is at a friend's house and Kankuro is in town."

Just as he was closing the door behind him, Naruto pounced. He pushed Gaara up against the door with such force that Gaara's feet had left the floor, Naruto's hands firmly grasped around Gaara's waist. Gaara couldn't make a sound for Naruto was zealously kissing him, Naruto's entire mouth covering his. With Naruto so close, Gaara could feel his heart beating. It was racing rapidly.

Gaara didn't fight back. Instead, he returned Naruto's kiss, gripping Naruto's shoulders, digging his fingers into his flesh. Naruto yelped fully enticed, "UHN!" slowly lowering Gaara to the floor. They paused for a brief moment, their eyes meeting each others with a flame of passion. Gaara leaned into Naruto and said in a hushed whisper against his ear, "Take me." Naruto lips curled seductively, luring Gaara to the bed.

Naruto sat at the edge of Gaara's bed, and grabbed Gaara's arm, pulling him onto his lap. Gaara was now straddling Naruto. Naruto began feeling up Gaara and kissing him, starting from his mark on his forehead and working his way down.

"Ahh," trembled Gaara for Naruto was now licking the contour of his neck. Naruto then turned and tenderly placed Gaara on the bed. Naruto was now on top of him. Gaara stroked his hand through Naruto's thick blonde hair. Naruto lowered his head and began to unbutton Gaara's shirt, using only his tongue to curl around every button. When the last button was undone, he licked Gaara from his abs all the way to his collar bone, "Mmm," taking in Gaara's taste the whole time.

Again Gaara cried out, "N…Naru…to!"

Naruto, placing his hand under Gaara's back, lifted him just enough to remove Gaara's shirt. He threw it across the room for it was in the way. They were now in a lover's embrace, lips locked into fervor, bodies held tightly together, flesh rubbing against flesh, sweat beginnig to glisten like little jewels against their skin.

In the still silence, their panting was heard, echoing off of the walls.

"Mmm, please…more," pleaded Gaara, wrapping his legs snuggly around Naruto. A sensation he never felt before coursed through his veins.

Naruto replied simply, "Shhh," kissing him softly, passionately. In mid kiss, Naruto's tongue swept the underside of Gaara's upper lip. Gaara countered with his own tongue, feeling the inside of Naruto's mouth. It was sweet and all the while salty, something...forbidden. They halted briefly to catch a breath of air, their lips brushing against the others, invigorated they continued.

"Nngh," Naruto gently strummed his fingertips along Gaara's spine. This sent a shiver throughout Gaara's entire body, an arousing shiver.

"OhHH," Gaara moaned stimulated, clawing Naruto's back. Naruto sensed this shiver and it made him hard.

Fully erect now, Naruto didn't want to stop. He then felt his way along the rim of Gaara's pants, unzipping them. He clasped the hemline of Gaara's jeans with his pinkie and ring fingers, tugging them down Gaara's hips, allowing his middle and index fingers to trail along Gaara's skin, tickling him.

click A stream of light entered the room, resting on the two lovers.
