Hello guys! The new chapter is up and I'm glad this is going along smoothly. More of the story behind Naruto is coming unraveled, and what is going to happen between the two? Dun Dun Duuun! Check it out!
"Dad, are you gonna be okay?" Naruto questioned as he placed two aspirin in Iruka's hand. The teacher nodded and popped the pills in his mouth, taking a long swig of water helping them go down.
"Don't worry about me Naruto. I'm still going to work." he smiled ruffling the blond hair. "I'm needed there and you know how I love to teach." he grinned getting off his bed.
Naruto frowned but followed his father as he head for his shower. "Are you sure your gonna be alright?" Naruto asked hesitantly tapping his fingers together worriedly.
Iruka smiled lightly, turning around so he could face his adopted son. "I'm sure Naruto. A little headache isn't going to deter me from what I love." the brunette said slipping into the bathroom.
Naruto frowned and nodded as the teacher closed the bathroom door, sighing in disbelief. He silently walked out of his fathers room and made his way into the dinning room noticing Gaara enjoying a cup of coffee.
Gaara saw the blond walk into the room and perked a brow. "Is he doing better?" he mumbled tracing the rim of the cup. Naruto crossed his arms as he sat down next to the red head.
"I still don't see how the pervert of a teacher got him to agree to go for drinks! Dad never drinks and he's only done that once. Once Gaara and that was when it was the anniversary of my …. Well you know.. He never drinks." Naruto grumbled dropping his head onto the table.
Gaara took another sip of his coffee and sighed. "So I would presume he's coming to work?" Gaara asked seeing Naruto attempt a nod. "Well, I don't see how he would want to go. He must have one massive headache."
Naruto fidgeted in his seat, ready to get the morning over with when Iruka popped into the room with the towel draped over his shoulders.
"Oh good morning Gaara." he smiled fixing his tie as he threw his towel into the laundry basket. Gaara grunted and finished his coffee acknowledging the mans comment. Naruto threw the teacher a worried glanced but the brunette ignored the gesture.
"Come on dad! You don't have to go into work today. Even Gaara says you should stay home." the blond said as he gestured at the red head.
Iruka sighed and smiled at the two teens. "Naruto. I'm fine. You don't have to worry." he said tying his silky hair up. He looked at Gaara shrugging his shoulders. "And thank you Gaara for worrying for me. It's a kind thing to do, but I am a adult and I can make my own decisions." he said grabbing his brief case. "And I don't want to be late either so you two need to get into the car." he murmured grabbing his keys off the counter.
Naruto glanced at Gaara who put his mug away and followed the brunette to his car.

They arrived at school at their regular time and headed off to Naruto's locker so he could get his books for class.
Naruto didn't mind sharing his locker with Gaara since they had all the same classes so it was a normal routine for him to grab the books. But of course Gaara would always take them and carry them from class to class.
"So Naruto." Gaara purred leaning onto the blond from behind. "It's a shame we didn't get to spend more time together last night." he playfully moaned in Naruto's ear making the blond blush. Gaara cunningly cupped one of Naruto's ass cheek in his palm earning an a small squeak from the blond.
"G-Gaara!" Naruto gasped turning around, trying to fight back the blush. "W-what are you d-doing? We're in s-school…" he stuttered glancing around looking at the other students. Gaara smirked and kissed Naruto's head softly as he pulled away.
"Hn. You know I'm just showing you how much you drive me crazy." Gaara murmured trailing his index finger up Naruto's chest, taking a nipple in its grasp. "And this…" he paused kneading the perk nub between his fingers. "Isn't complaining now is it?" he finished slightly tugging on it making the blond gasp and shudder.
"Uh.. What are you guys doing?" the voice said startling the two teens making Naruto's blush darken even worse. Naruto quickly pushed the red head off and fixed his school clothes making sure he was presentable.
"Oh uh hey Kiba what's up." Naruto said trying to divert the brunette from his earlier question. Kiba perked up and waved at the two.
"Nothing much. I saw you guys over here and wanted to come over and say hi… though you two looked preoccupied or something." he said eyeing the blond curiously clearly taking note of Naruto's flustered appearance.
Naruto sucked in a breath of air and glanced at Gaara who looked bored by the conversation. "Oh well it was nothing important anyways." Naruto said nudging the red head in the ribs. Gaara glared at the blond as he rubbed his side.
Kiba lifted a brow at the comment but let it slide as he continued. "Well anyways, you guys should come and eat with us at lunch this time, you'd get to meet some more people. We could always add new guys to the group." Kiba smiled wrapping an arm around the blonds neck.
Naruto chuckled and grinned. "Alright Kiba. Me and Gaara will come find you at lunch and sit with you guys ok." Naruto said catching the glare sent at the brunette.
Kiba nodded and released his arm quickly. "That's great! Well, I'll talk to you guys later!" he said turning around as he headed down the hall. "Oh and Shika and Hinata said, 'hey'!" he yelled disappearing down the hall as he disappeared around a corner.
Naruto cocked his head to the side and shrugged his shoulders when the brunette was gone from viewing sight. "He seems cool, but that was just random." Naruto commented pulling out the books he was trying to get earlier before he was rudely interrupted.
"I don't see why you won't come out that we're going out. It's not like I'm ashamed of you Naruto." Gaara mumbled crossing his arms, watching the blond pile the books in a stack.
Naruto sighed and closed his locker with a bang. "That's not the reason Gaara and you know it. It's just that I'm uncomfortable is all and I don't want to feel pressured." Naruto mumbled focusing his attention on his shoes, deliberately avoiding the red heads gaze.
Gaara bit the inside of his mouth at the comment, trying not to get angry but hearing Naruto's reasons, it just made him angrier. "Fine whatever." Gaara spat peeling the books from Naruto's arms. "Let's get to class. I don't want the other students seeing get too close." he said leaving the blond standing at his locker deflated and upset.
-
Class had already begun and Gaara was staring blankly out the window making sure Naruto couldn't see his slightly upset expression. But what he failed to realize was that Naruto himself was sorry for what he said earlier and really wanted to apologize.
Kakashi was teaching the class about new formulas and derivatives that they wouldn't ever need in every day life so most of the class was zoned out. Really, as if his half assed teaching skills were keeping them entertained anyways.
Naruto was busy doodling in his notebook while Gaara pulled out his own book to read as the time passed, though Naruto did give Kakashi some very dirty glances making sure the teacher knew how upset and angry he was with him.
The bell had finally rung letting the school know it was time for classes to change. Gaara effortlessly readied his things and left the class before Naruto had a chance to even pack his things. Naruto glared at the red head but put his things away anyways.
As he was leaving the class he caught sight of Kakashi pulling out his dirty book and made Naruto 'tsk' in annoyance. "Kakashi sensei! I can't believe you. Why did you ask my dad out and why did you go drinking." Naruto demanded.
Kakashi lazily lifted his head from his book and winked at the boy. "Oh well you know. Skillfully playing your dad and getting him drunk, leaving him to myself so I can ravish him all I want is my forte." he said dodging the punch at his face.
"Kakashi sensei!" Naruto yelled throwing his book bag on the ground so he could climb over the desk and tackle the pervert.
"Oi, oi! Naruto I was playing!" the teacher said locking Naruto's arms above his head. "Calm down boy, I didn't mean it." he muttered releasing his grip. Naruto frowned and fixed his shirt before he grabbed his bag. "I know I went at it the wrong way but I do like your father very much." he said avoiding Naruto's glare.
"You know dad is a nice and caring person, I'm just worried about the people he dates. So you better watch it when I comes to him." Naruto threatened slamming the door behind himself.
"Yea yea. I get the picture Naruto." he mumbled getting his things ready for next class.
-
The lunch bell rang and all the students left for the cafeteria including Naruto and Gaara who were walking beside one another. Neither had spoken a word to each other and the silence was getting on their nerves.
Kiba spotted the two first and waved at them to come over. "Heeeey Naruto! Gaara! Over here!" he shouted getting their attention.
Naruto and Gaara walked over to the table looking at some new faces. "Hey there you guys." Naruto said flashing the table a brilliant smile.
"H-hey Naruto." Hinata stuttered face flushed.
"So Naruto, Gaara. Meet Ino, tenten, and lee." he pointed at the three smiling at the two.
"Oh hey there." Naruto waved. Gaara nodded but kept silent behind the blond so he didn't have to engage in conversation.
"So Naruto how has school been so far?" Ino asked taking a bit of her sandwich that Shikamaru handed her.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "It's ok I guess. Nothing much going on here." he said taking a seat next to Kiba who more than welcomed the blond.
Gaara frowned at Naruto who took the seat next to the brunette and glanced around the table to see another chair unoccupied between the black-haired hyperactive boy and the quiet Hinata. He debated on whether it was worth the hassle but sat in the seat reluctantly.
He looked over at his blond who was talking animatedly with the brunette making his jaw clench. Hinata started asking him questions as if he really wanted to be here but he humored her for the moment.
"So Gaara. I see that your really close to Naruto right?" she asked blushing slightly.
Gaara cocked at brow at the question but smirked anyways. "Yes we're very close if I might add." he said crossing his arms. He saw her blush deepen, congratulating himself for his effort. "Though he seems to dislike public affection." he mumbled glancing at Naruto.
He was too busy watching his blond to notice the raven approaching the table. "Ah Naruto. Cute as ever I see." Sai said wrapping his arms around the blonds neck as he planted a kiss on his cheek.
Naruto squeaked when the raven caught him off guard and unconsciously glanced at the red head who was glaring daggers at the boy. "Uh S-Sai what are you d-doing?" he stuttered pulling the arms from around his neck.
Ino squealed at the sight and took a picture with her phone. "Oh yes Sai! What is it that you need?!" she insinuated wiggling her brows at the action.
Shikamaru sighed and dropped his head against the table. "You guys are truly troublesome." he muttered glancing at the squealing blond.
Sai smiled at the girl and let his hand travel down the blonds chest as he landed on Naruto's crotch. "Oh nothing. Just inspecting this fine piece of work." he said making the bond blush unexpectedly. "Though this.." he paused grabbing Naruto's cock through the fabric. "Seems to enjoy this very much." he purred in Naruto's ear.
Naruto gasped and slapped the hand away quickly. "Sai! What are you doing?!" Naruto snapped trying to punch the raven away. 'That was the second time this line was played today!!!!' he thought angrily. Sai dodged the punch and snickered at the blond.
"Your just so easy to tease Naruto. You should really keep your guard up more." he said flashing his fake smile.
Gaara couldn't keep his anger in any longer and jumped up from his chair as threw a punch at the ravens face. Everyone gasped at the red head who tackled Sai to the ground as they thrashed around on the floor.
BAM!
"If you touch Naruto again I swear your face is going to eat more than dirt!" Gaara yelled punching Sai in the gut.
Kick!
"Excuse me for thinking Naruto is a nice piece of ass! And the last I've heard, Naruto is still available." Sai shouted kicking Gaara's shin making him clutch it in pain.
"What's it to you?! Naruto doesn't have to deal with the likes of you, so hands off." Gaara said glaring down at the raven.
Sai sat up and spit the blood that pooled in his mouth. "You shouldn't be so worried over him if there's nothing going on!" he spat glancing at Naruto who quickly ran to Gaara's side.
"Gaara are you alright?" Naruto whispered grasping hold of the red heads arm.
Sai laughed bitterly as he groggily lifted himself from the floor. "Like I said. Either there's something going on or I'm clearly missing an important detail here." he said smiling at the blond who nervously hid behind Gaara.
Kiba growled at the raven but his eye was caught by the small action between Naruto and Gaara who entwined their fingers secretly behind the red heads back.
"Fine if you want to know…." Naruto spoke up.. "Gaara and me are together!" he shouted hesitantly gripping Gaara's hand tighter making the red head stare at the blond surprised.
"But I thought.." Gaara trailed off looking at the blond quizzically.
Naruto shook his head and kissed the red head lightly on the cheek. "I thought about what you said… and you were right. I shouldn't be afraid because you'll be by my side right?" he said smiling up at Gaara happily.
He nodded and glared at the grinning raven who was happily wiping the blood from his mouth. "I knew there was something between you two. Now that wasn't hard was it Naruto?" he teased bowing a kiss at Naruto which of course Gaara growled at.
Sai glanced at the rest of the group and scoffed. "Anyways… If you get bored with grumpy over here, just give me a call Na-ru-to." he said waving over his shoulder while he walked away from which he came.
Gaara sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose as he turned around finding the group staring at them surprised. He rolled his eyes and grabbed Naruto's hand, tugging him out of the cafeteria.
"Wha? G-Gaara?" Naruto said looking at the red head worriedly.
Gaara grunted and glared at the blond. "If they don't accept our relationship then you don't need them. You have me." he said tightening his grip around Naruto's wrist.
They were walking through the freshman building when they hear a frantic person yelling for the to stop. Gaara and Naruto turned around see the whole gang running after them. Even the lazy Shikamaru was coming, though he was jogging, Gaara still gave him some credit.
"Wait you guys! Where are you going?!" Ino asked putting away her phone.
"Yeah! It doesn't matter if your both guys! Love comes in all forms!" Lee said giving the group a brilliant smile.
"Yeah you guys. We don't mind that your together. We like ya'll the way you are." Kiba said slapping the blond over the shoulder.
"Same here." Shikamaru and Chouji said at the same time while Tenten and Shino nodded in acceptance.
"W-we like you both and w-we don't mind.." Hinata stuttered blushing at Gaara's and Naruto's hands that were laced together.
Naruto smiled at them and leaned against Gaara's shoulder. "I'm so glad you all are ok with us. I was scared to tell and I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable around me." he said resting his hand on Gaara's chest making the red head smile lightly at him.
"Like I told you. If they didn't accept it, you'd always have me beside you… Naruto." he said wrapping his hand around his blonds waist.
Naruto giggled softly and nodded. "I'm so happy Gaara." he mumbled burying his head against Gaara's chest setting off the girls squeals.
"Kyaaaa!!!! So cuuuute!" Tenten and Ino yelled out at the same time, making the guys groan. "Just lemme get a picture of that!" Ino giggled pulling her phone out again and snapping a shot. The whole group was congratulating them and giving them their blessings making Gaara groan.
"Well, me and Naruto have to speak with a sensei so we'll see you later." Gaara said turning as he pulled Naruto down the hall leading towards Iruka's room.
"I never thought they would leave us alone if I didn't say anything." Gaara shuddered wondering what Ino was going to do with the picture.
Naruto laughed and wrapped his arms around Gaara's as they opened the door to Iruka's room. "Well I don't mind as long as-
Both Naruto and Gaara stared wide-eyed Iruka who was pinned down on the desk in an intense make-out session with none other than Kakashi himself. Naruto's right eye twitched at the sight and Gaara covered his ears for what was about to come.
"KAKASHI SENSEI!" Naruto yelled bolting for the teacher who quickly pulled away from the brunette panting heavily. "I cant believe you! You damn perv!" he cried latching on to the teachers arm.
"Naruto!" Iruka yelled startling the three occupants in the room making the blond halt instantly. "Naruto let go of Kakashi-sensei. He wasn't f-forcing me or anything…" Iruka muttered with a blush.
Naruto stared at his father oddly and glanced at Gaara who shrugged his shoulders. "I-I I thought…" Naruto stuttered looking at Kakashi who scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Sorry kid. Me and sensei have a thing going… and Ruka seems to have wanted to keep it a secret from the two of you." Kakashi said placing a sweet kiss on Iruka's cheek.
Naruto frowned and looked at the brunette who smiled wearily. "It's true Naruto. Me and Kakashi have gotten close since out last encounter and we are dating." he said lowering his head dejectedly.
Naruto frowned and quirked a brow at the sight. "Why are you acting like that dad? I don't care who you date as long as your happy…" Naruto said softly. "Even though that person may be a pain in the ass.." he mumbled knowing Gaara would be the only one to hear it.
Iruka released the breath that he didn't even know he was holding and smiled happily at his son. "Wow… It shouldn't be me who's in this predicament right? It should be you Naruto." he laughed twiddling his thumbs.
Gaara smirked and glanced at the silver-haired man who was busy enjoying Iruka ass to care. "Have you topped him yet?" Gaara spoke up catching everyone's attention.
Kakashi smirked and crossed his arms and he leaned on Iruka's desk. "Why as a matter of fact I-
"HAVE DONE NOTHING OF THE SORT!" Iruka intervened slapping his hand over the mans mouth making sure he didn't get the chance to embarrass him even more. "Heh Gaara… Why would you ask such a question anyways?" Iruka asked laughing it off as best he could.
Naruto rolled his eyes and hit Gaara playfully in the chest. "Gosh Gaara your turning into a pervert just like Kakashi!" Naruto giggled making the red head smirk.
"I just wanted to know. It seems Kakashi would move pretty fast is all." he said noticing the blush on Iruka's face. "Well well. Seems my suspicions are correct." he snickered wrapping his arms around Naruto's hips.
Iruka gasped and stared at the two teens. "Are y-you two together?!"
Naruto blushed and nodded slightly. "Yeah…" the blond said smiling lightly.
Iruka sighed and covered his hands over his eyes. "Oh Naruto! You've grown so much! I don't want you growing up!" he wailed leaning on Kakashi's shoulder making Gaara roll his eyes.
Before anyone could say more the bell rang, ending lunch.
"Ah hah… Dad we're going to be leaving now." Naruto said pulling Gaara quickly out of the classroom.
-
"He took that better than I thought." Gaara muttered while they walked to class. Naruto laughed and nodded thinking along the same lines.
-
School finally let out for the day but Sasuke approached Naruto and Gaara as they were heading for the parking lot.
"Hey Naruto. I heard from Sai that it's official." Sasuke said crossing his arms childishly.
Naruto frowned at the raven and glanced at Gaara who was more than ready to beat the shit outta the cocky bastard. "Yes it true Sasuke, and I would appreciate it if you would leave me alone. I don't want to have anything to do with you." he said quietly.
Sasuke sighed flipping his hair back effortlessly. "Actually today isn't about that. Remember when I first told you about my connection with the police?" he questioned eyeing the blond suspiciously.
Naruto thought back for a moment and gasped. "Oh yes! I do remember… but what do that have to do with anything?" the blond asked.
Sasuke frowned slightly and glanced at the red head. "Well, I have some information concerning Orochimaru's whereabouts and his recent activities."
Naruto gasped. "What d-do you mean! H-he hasn't been up to anything lately, so why should he now?!" Naruto exclaimed biting his lip.
Gaara glared at the raven wondering why he was bringing this up now. "So what's your purpose Uchiha. What do you want out of it." which came out as a demand.
"Orochimaru is a deadly creature and I know what he's done. I don't want Naruto getting hurt but I do want something out of it, as you say." he glared at the red head.
"B-but what do you want S-Sasuke?" Naruto stuttered grabbing Gaara's arm protectively.
"I'm not that much of a bastard. Cant I choose to do this on my own free will? Maybe I don't want to see you getting hurt?" Sasuke said running his hand through his hair. "All I'm asking is if you don't run away every time you see me." he mumbled fighting back the blush.
Gaara scoffed. "Sure, whatever. But anything that has to do with Naruto goes through with me too." he said in a deadly tone.
Sasuke nodded and unlaced his arms. "I'm starting the investigation now and I should be getting some information later on this week. So make sure your available. That's all I have to say, so seeya later." he murmured glancing at the blond as he left towards his brothers car.
"Gaara I don't want Dad to find out about this so don't tell him please." Naruto said quietly knowing Gaara wouldn't tell no matter what.
They were startled when a voice behind them spoke up.
"Don't want to find out about what?"…..
So yeah next chap is up! So Sasuke isn't going to be a complete bastard now is he? Haha finally turning a new leave we hope. Though he still lusts over Naruto-chaaaaan.
