Hello next chapter up and I wish you all will like it!
They ended up in front of Naruto's house in no time and sadly the bond had to let go of the red head. He fidgeted with his keys and twirled a blond lock that happened to fall over his bright blue eyes. Gaara stared at the angel before him in awe. Completely dousing himself in the beauty and happiness that radiated from the blond. He made sure that a blush didn't appear on his face as he waved good bye to the innocent angel and started his trek home.
'Hah… even though my house is in the opposite direction… I still walked him home… How pathetic.' Gaara thought sadly. He walked with his head down and his hand wavering over his chest a bit, trying to sort out this new feeling engulfing his being. He became aware of his surroundings when he heard his name being called loudly. He glanced around quickly and realized that he had somehow ended up in his very own neighborhood. He looked at his watch briefly and came to find that he had been walking for more than two hours!
A blond came running in his direction and he slumped once the contact was made. He was pulled into a tight hug by his older sister Temari.
"Oh Gaara! Where have you been? I arrived earlier today and waited at your front door for the past four hours thinking what may have happened to you! You had me worried baby brother!" she continued to rant in his ear. "Don't you remember me telling you that was going to meet you today?" the blond questioned. And that's when I dawn on him. He had been so entranced by the blue eyed angel that he'd forgotten about his own sister! That was nearly driving him insane.
He glared at his sister and reluctantly she released the hold she hand on him and smiled lightly. "I'm sorry I forgot… it slipped my mind." Gaara muttered shoving his hands into his pickets and reaching for his keys. He opened the door and invited Temari to relax a bit and went into the kitchen for something to drink. He threw his book bag on the table and chugged the iced tea down quickly and entered the living room where he found his sister snooping around in his things. She looked through papers and notes trying to find anything she could get her hands on until a loud cough brought her attention away.
She blushed slightly and tried to play the innocent act. "You know searching my stuff isn't going to get you anywhere. You might as well ask me straight forward." he said in low growl. She chuckled nervously and scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry Gaara. It's just that you've been gone for so long and when I call you, you don't really tell me what going on with you. I'm just worried about you really. I didn't mean any harm really." she said sinking into the leather sofa. He sighed and sat beside his sister and glance toward hr direction before deciding on speaking up for once.
"Sister, you don't have to worry so much about me. I'm growing up so just get used to it. I've been on my own for awhile now. don't you think I can handle it already?" he said softly, trying to reassure his sister. She gasped when those words left his mouth and immediately she pounced onto her adorable little brother.
"Oh my Gaara! You have been growing up! You've never acted so openly toward anyone before! So that must mean that you have found someone to adore haven't you?!" she practically squealed. Gaara only sent her a deadly glare after prying her off. He quickly sat himself on the opposite sofa and folded his arms in annoyance.
"How long?" he said in a dark tone which sent shivers down Temari's spine.
"What?" she questioned her brother. Completely confused but the sudden shift in his voice.
"I said how long. How long are you staying for this time." he said once again in a eerie way. She smiled brightly and placed her hands behind her head, trying to play off the words that were going to come out of her mouth.
"Oh… About a month really." she said in an uncaring way shrugging her shoulders for added emphasis. Gaara who sat there completely stunned fell into a state of panic.
'This can't be happening! Whenever she visits she usually only stays for about a week the most! Why da hell is she staying for a damn month! Argh!' Gaara shouted in his head. 'She's going to drive me completely crazy! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm doomed!' he mentally cried. But of course he didn't dare let his sister see that side of him, instead only a faint trace of grief shown in his eyes only which Temari would catch. He sulked his way up to his room and locked himself in there until dinner was ready. Then returned soon after he was finished.
He took a quick shower and got ready for bed wearing a black tank top and black silk boxers. ( A/N. My brother's prefer them over cotton and I wouldn't blame them really. They feel so good! -yes I know weird but w/e.) He sat in complete darkness observing the shadows in his room. As each car passed outside, the lights would send traces of yellow into his room illuminating the black colored walls and paintings nicely. He really didn't mind the whole dark colors much, it just seemed to relax him better so he just stuck to it.
But once he let his mind settle down, bright flashes of yellow interrupted his thoughts, making him shudder with guilt. Why was this angel plaguing him so? Was this a sign? Who knows really. He just knew that it was something about Naruto that drove him into this weird person, craving this alluring fox. He sighed many times and shifted in his bed trying to fall asleep but found it hopeless when he glanced at the clock and it was already 3:42.
'Damn it! I already know that I'm an insomniac, but come on. I really need to get some sleep here!' he yelled at himself. He continued to toss and turn and suddenly he heard his alarm go off at 5:40 telling him that it was time to wake up. 'Damn another sleepless night yet again' Gaara sighed as he stepped into the bathroom that connected to his room.
He emerged from his hot shower and quickly got dressed for school making sure he applied enough eyeliner on to hide the dark circles under his eyes. He fixed his hair and checked himself over the mirror once again before running downstairs and grabbed an energy drink from the frig before leaving for school. He knew when he left the house that he was already 15 minutes behind schedule due to rechecking his features in the mirror every five minutes, he quickly walked down the hall knowing the bell was going to be ringing the next few seconds.
He slowed his pace a bit and regained his regular tempo and waltzed into class as soon as the bell had rung and made his way toward his seat, noticing the blonds head raise a bit once he entered the class room.
"Cutting it quite close ne, Gaara?" Kakashi said in a bored tone while reading his porn. He glared at the teacher and turned back making his way towards his seat.
He passed a Neji and Shikamaru who were talking in a hushed tone and finally reached his seat in the back of the class next to his angel. He could feel those eyes watching him ever since he entered the classroom and glanced at Naruto who was grinning brightly.
"I'm glad you made it on time Gaara. That was a rather close call there!" Naruto said a bit too loudly. A few heads turned in his direction and immediately pairs of eyes were on the two. Some where gazing and others where uncaring but either way Gaara hated the attention. Unless it was from the blond.
Naruto grew silent and receded into his chair and Gaara could see the blush appearing on those tanned cheeks. The class resumed and went without anymore interruptions until the bell rang for the next class. Making the students gather their things and quickly making their way. Gaara glanced at Naruto who was having trouble putting his books away and reached out to help him.
"Let me help you. You're gonna be late for the next class if you don't hurry." Gaara said extremely smoothly. (Damn! Imagine Gaara speaking in a low and husky tone! That's how it would sound like! Yeah baby!) Naruto immediately blushed when Gaara's fingers touched his briefly, reaching for the books and when he heard those words. He could just melt.
"Gaara? That was extremely seductive you know." Naruto deadpanned, causing Gaara to stop and immediately his breath hitched. His eyes met with Naruto's and in that instant he could feel all the blood rushing to his head.
Naruto cocked his head to she side and suddenly gasped. "Oh my god Gaara! Your nose is bleeding!" Naruto practically screamed, waving his hands around like an idiot. Kakashi heard the yell and quirked his brow at the scene.
"Oi, Naruto! Take Gaara to the nurses office will ya! I don't want blood dripping on my floor." Kakashi said in a bored manner. The red head immediately sent a glare towards the pervert but he seemed unfazed by it and returned his attention towards his book, flipping the page as if nothing really important was going on.
Naruto tried to navigate his way in school but found it difficult since it was his second day and all, and ultimately Gaara had to take the lead and they ended up in the nurses office quickly.
The nurse inspected Gaara's nose after he cleaned it and told him he should go home for the rest of the day and eat plenty of healthy foods. Gaara sighed and tried to reason with the nurse but she wouldn't take no for an answer. He sat in the bed in the office with Naruto by his side.
Gaara could immediately tell that Naruto was truly worried and sighed. "Naruto it's alright for you to go back to class." he said softly. Naruto only looked confused for a moment before he started protesting,
"No Gaara! I'm going to stay here beside you until schools out ok?" Naruto pleaded to the silent red head. His round cerulean eyes glimmered with tears as he unconsciously grabbed for Gaara's hand. This sent Gaara into a frenzy on the inside. This time he couldn't stop the blush from appearing on his cheeks and coughed lightly while glancing at his hand. Making Naruto gasp in embarrassment.
He reluctantly pulled away and relaxed in his seat, slouching a bit. Just then, the doors burst open with a panting brunette frantically searching the room and his eyes landed on Naruto and quickly pulled the blond into a tight hug.
"Oh Naruto! I heard you were in here and I wanted to make sure you were ok!" the petite man said while checking Naruto from head to toe and also feeling for his temperature.
"Ah! Dad stop it! Not in front of my friend please! I'm fine!" Naruto pouted in his fathers arms. Gaara quirked and eyebrow at this. The man seemed to be in his twenties and already has a son? 'Probably adopted. I see no resemblance.' Gaara thought to himself.
The blond freed himself from the tight grasp and sat back down beside Gaara once gain. "Dad. I was with Gaara and I'm sorry I skipped class to be here but I wasn't expecting you to be running from your classroom as soon you heard." Naruto said while smiling.
Before he was able to respond, another figure appeared inside of the room with his noise buried inside of his book. He glanced up and noticed the older male in the room and quickly put away the book in his back pocket.
"Ah.. I see you both made it to the nurses office in one piece, but I must say. Who is this exquisite delicacy right before my eyes." Kakashi said trying to pull off the cool and aloof act. The brunette looked at Kakashi as if he were retarded and returned his attention back towards the two students.
"So Naruto, I want you to go to class, ne? I'll meet you at home, ok. I'm sure Gaara has already called home." he said ever so sweetly. Naruto sank into his seat and a small frown appeared on his face.
"No dad, actually he did try calling his sister earlier but she couldn't answer her phone so he can't go home until school lets out." Naruto muttered sadly. Kakashi tuned into the conversation after the fine-ass brunette ignored him and found out that Naruto was his son.
'Hm… maybe I should ask Naruto later bout his father… Yeah… that could work' he thought. He watched the scene a bit more before he decided to leave since everyone seemed to brush him off anyway.
"Oh, really? Umm well, I could take him home when school gets out ok? Would you mind Gaara?" he said in a caring tone. Gaara only stared at the man before him thinking, 'what the heck, then that means I don't have to walk home.'
"Sure. But what is your name?" Gaara asked curiously watching the reaction from the stunning brunette.
"Oh I'm terribly sorry for my manners! You can call me Iruka-sensei!" he said cheerfully. He had an equally dazzling smile as Naruto and Gaara could tell where he got it from. Especially all that charm.
"Now Naruto, I want you to go to class ok. I will talk to the administrators about taking Gaara home. I will meet you after school in my class room alright." Iruka said while pushing Naruto out of the nurses office. "And Gaara hope you feel better by the time school ends, ne?" Iruka waved as they left the class.
Gaara sat perplexed in his bed and chuckled lightly when he gazed out the window beside him. 'Iruka-sensei seems nice' he thought while tracing the window ceil slowly. Then it hit him. 'Sensei?! So he works here?' Gaara finally realized. He slumped in the bed and rubbed his temples. 'That could be a problem if he acts like a mother hen all the time.' he thought sadly. He returned his attention back to the relaxing scene outside and smiled. Yep, this was going to be an interesting school year.
After Naruto said goodbye to his dad, it had already been time for 4th period and he gave his note to his teacher. He went to sit in his seat near the back when he noticed a note was resting on his table. He sat down and read the note slowly, wandering why someone would put it there.
'Naruto,
During lunch meet me at the cafeteria. I will be waiting for you near the entrance. Don't worry about not knowing anyone, most of the people who will be with me are in our class anyways, ok. I need to speak with you about something important, so if you came, I would be extremely happy.
Sasuke Uchiha.'
Naruto folded the paper slowly and looked around the classroom for the raven and caught sight of the black hair peeking over the other heads. Sasuke smirked at the blond and returned his attention to the front of the class. He couldn't wait until he could get the blond at lunch. He would make the blond fall for him in an instant.
'Che, this might be too easy.' Sasuke thought as he looked over at his cousin who was busy doodling on his paper. He chuckled softly and glanced at the clock. 'Only and hour till lunch.'
-
Class seemed to drag on for the raven and once the bell rang, he quickly gathered his things and exited for the lunch room. Making sure that his cousin and friends were going to be there. Even though they follow him around everywhere. Hell, everyone adored him. He told them to reserve a table and patiently waited for the blond to show up and when he did, a smirk appeared on his lips once again.
"Hello Naruto. I've been waiting for you. Lets go inside. Shall we?" Sasuke said in a low husky voice. Naruto immediately tense and tried to laugh off his discomfort as he was being led to the table.
'Why did I agree to do this?' Naruto thought bitterly to himself when he was greeted by familiar faces. He recognized Sakura, Ino, Neji, Kiba, Hinata, and Sai as they sent warm smiles in his direction.
"So blondie! Do ya actually have a dick?" Sai blurted out. Everyone sent him glares but he shrugged his shoulders. "It's just your way cuter than most of the girls in this school, I thought maybe you were." he said with a over exaggerated smile.
Naruto was completely taken back by that comment. He gasped and looked over at Sasuke who smacked his cousin over the head.
"Naruto just ignore Sai, he tends to speak his mind before actually thinking." Sasuke stated while ushering Naruto to sit between Sai and himself. "I just wanted to know if you wanna hang out with us instead of that emo prick, Gaara." he said, trying to change the subject.
Naruto bit hi lip, and looked around the table at the pair of eyes watching him. "I uh-, well actually Gaara isn't like that really. He very kind and gentle." Naruto said softly grasping his pants. Everyone scoffed at his comment and Naruto could feel the pressure already weighing down on his chest.
"Well, whatever Naruto. You're free to choose at anytime. And if he actually turns out to be like what I told you. Im not gonna say I told ya so." Sasuke said coldly sending a chill up his spine. Naruto sat rooted to his seat and eyed the table sadly. That's when he felt a hand suddenly groped his front and realized that Sai was feeling him up.
"Ah! What are you doing! You pervert!" Naruto cried at the top of his lungs and backhanded Sai across the face. (Damn get it Naruto!) Sasuke watched as Naruto ran out of the cafeteria, disappearing out of sight.
He immediately got up and pulled Sai up by his collar. "What the hell was that?" he hissed "Naruto is mine and I don't want you copping a feel on what's mine you got it?" he sneered at his cousin, pushing him back into his seat.
"What? I wanted to know if he was a guy or not. But actually he is. It's small but it's there." Sai said casually shrugging his shoulders. Everyone gasped at the words that were coming out of his mouth and they quickly looked at the raven who was becoming even more frustrated. "Besides I found a window of opportunity and took the chance. Like I said he's cute." he finished with a smile.
"Damn it Sai! Don't touch him you flaming fag." Sasuke roared. "He's mine!" he said while retreating, deciding he was going to find the blond.
"Look whose chasing after some tail huh. And you call me a fag." Sai said closing his eyes. "And another thing, once you do actually capture him, I know your going to eat-
BAM! Before Sai could even finish what he was going to say, he was punched directly in the face making him topple out of his chair. He landed on the floor with a thud and saw the look of malice in Sasuke's eye.
"I'M NOT A FAGOT!" Sasuke yelled over the defeated raven. "This is just a game and I intend on winning the prize. So don't get in my way!" he said with a huff and left the cafeteria in a hurry.
"Suit yourself…" Sai said as he rubbed the ache on his jaw. He watched the others who where at the table and sent them a questioning look. They were utterly shocked to say the least. And by what they just witnessed, Sasuke seemed a little too interested in the blond than he should have been making Neji sigh unhappily.
"Sai honey, I think you should stop aggravating Sasuke so much. You can clearly see how angry he gets." Sakura said helping the fallen raven up.
Lunch continued without Sasuke and the bell rang for the next class to start and everyone departed. Sasuke roamed the halls but couldn't find the blond anywhere. He grew frustrated and stopped searching once he heard the bell and went to the next class. He knew he'd see him there and grabbed his books from his locker.
'Just you wait Naruto, your in for a wild ride.' he thought when he noticed the blond walk into the class.
