Gaara:
he didn't have much in his apartment, other than your basic furniture. Nothing that showed someone was living here other than the clothes in a pile on the floor thanks to lack of a dresser. That was what I saw through the open door of the one bed room, and the bed which was two mattresses on the ground stacked on top of one another. Naruto sat on the couch, I followed him, the room was half living room half kitchen with the bed room and bathroom built off of it. I sat next to him and realized how cold it was in the house. The heater looked broken, and the couch was lumpy. "I want you to take the bed." Naruto said quietly. He seemed embarrassed about me sleeping on the lumpy couch, but it seemed so cold out in this room.

Naruto:
I walked into my apartment gaara now following behind me. And believe me I'm beyond embarrassed. My crappy apartment is nothing compared to Gaara's large house. I had chipped wall paper and empty ramen boxes on tables and counters. I barley had and furniture and the stuff I did have was horrible. My clothes had to be on the floor because I had no dresser. Even if I did have not that many clothes I guess it would be nice. Oh and did I mention my heater was broken? The damn owner said that they would fix it 4 days ago yet they haven't done anything. I sat down on my lumpy couch, noticing gaara looking around. This just made me more embarrassed. The only thing that I guess was good was my bed. It was hard but comfy. And since the red head had saved me and because I didn't want to make the demon sleep on the floor or couch I should at least give him my bed. Looking down at my hands I said "I want you to take the bed." I hushed out. Gaara stared at me with an odd expression.
"I'll sleep on the couch so don't worry." I snuggled into Gaara's jacket slightly blushing.
There was slight silence and I wiggled around on the couch trying to get a little more comfortable.
"No..." Gaara whispered

Gaara:
I noticed him snuggle into my jacket, it had to be freezing in this room. The bed had a bit more blankets at least. "No..." I told him. "It's your house, I'll respect your decision by sleeping on your bed, but you don't have to sleep on the couch." I hinted. His ears drooped and I wondered if I said too much. I leaned in close to him, to look him in the eye. He moved slightly back watching me closely, then he blushed and his eyes lowered, not looking at me. I loved the pearly blue color, but the way he held them made me sad. I put a hand on his face, he flinched, then relaxed. I sighed. I really didn't want to hurt or scare him, but the thought of him lying next to me in bed. I closed my eyes thinking of how cute a uke he would be, of course, my brain took me to a trip in the gutters, and when I opened my eyes, Naruto was staring at my face. I could only imagine what faces I was making while fantasizing about the blond. Pulling away, I sulked to his room cursing my demon heritage.

Naruto:
Wait...what did he mean not having to sleep on the...what? I'm confused. My ears dropped. Then gaara leaned in close to me. Looking me in the eye. My cheeks turned red as I watched his green eyes. I looked down embarrassed. My mind still trying to figure out what he said. When his hand touched my cheek I flinched. He was cold. Even if that was probably the same temperature as me he still felt cold. Moving my eyes back up to look at him I blushed. His eyes showed a blank expression when suddenly he closed his eyes making my ears twitch. He still looked beautiful. Very gorgeous and- Wait! He said I don't have to sleep on the couch because I can sleep on the bed with...I blushed deeper. I know I'm slow but still. Gaara's eyes opened and for some reason he seemed stressed about something again. Finally he left to my room grumbling about something under his breath. I turned around on the couch, watching him leave, leaving the bedroom door open. I do want to be in the same bed as him it's just...its embarrassing. So when he's asleep or at least in maybe in half an hour, ill sneak in. I blushed as I slightly smiled after the man.

Gaara:
I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. I wanted to curl in on myself, to conserve warmth, but I didn't want to fall asleep. I hated sleeping, it always gave me nightmares. Who knows how long it was, half an hour maybe, before I heard small footsteps. I kept my poker face on to pretend I was asleep, but I wanted to smile. He wanted to sleep with me! That or it was too cold... or it was too uncomfortable... both of these thoughts haunted me and dampened my mood. I felt a small change in the bed's movement, a hitch of breath, a pause, he let himself down further, and paused. Inching his way onto the bed so that he wouldn't wake me up. How could I know if he likes me? I think I like him. Or at least, my body likes that fact. I wanted to slap myself there so I wouldn't get a boner for the rest of the time id be with Naruto. Without caring for patience, I grabbed him by his waist and hoisted him in bed with me, pulling him to my chest and wrapping the blankets over us both.
he struggled and tried to pull out of my sudden grasp, I realized he was panicking because my movements were too sudden. I pulled him under my body so he was on his back and I was straddling him, his wrists pinned under my hands.
"I'm not going to hurt you." I promised. his eyes still full of worry and fear, and he shivered. I realized all the cold air was getting between us, so I snuck down so that our chests were touching. Even through 2 shirts I could tell his body was freezing, I let go of his wrists and began using my hands to try and warm up his body.

Naruto:
30 min. I swear gaara was sleeping. His breaths were calm and I could hear them in the other room. I smiled as I got up and tip toed into my bedroom. I didn't want to make him up. I dropped his jacket on the way, making me shiver. But soon, hopefully, I wouldn't be cold. I made it close to gaara, so close that I could see his pale skin. He was still breathing calmly so I guess he truly was sleeping. I breathed happily as I began to slowly make my way down on the bed. I didn't want to wake him up. He seemed calmer when he was sleeping. Maybe even more god like. I was tempted to kiss his forehead but stopped. I didn't want him to bite my head off! Sighing I began inching my way on the bed again when suddenly I was pulled down by my waste. I lightly yelped at the sudden movement, blushing as the red head pulled me down my head in his chest. The blanket was wrapped over us in a quick movement and I was still trying to catch my breath. He was actually awake! Damn this is too embarrassing! His arm was still around me slightly suffocating my tail. I tried to get away. Not fully only to get a little of the cold air. Gaara seemed to not like that because before I knew it he was straddling my waist, holding my wrists "I'm not going to hurt you." He whispered causing me to shiver. His voice...okay so it wasn't just calm ,it could be sexy. Very sexy at that. My blush deepened when he pulled his chest to mine and started to rub my sides with his hands.
"G-Gaara..." I stuttered. I had to bite my lip to not to...this is even embarrassing. To not get anymore turned on. Gaara...I think I like him. Well his scary parts I don't like but...he has sweet moments and he is still very beautiful.
"I-I thought u were asleep" My blush deepened as I let out a low sigh from my throat.

Gaara:
"Shhh, you need to warm up. I'd be damned if you caught hypothermia... well I am damned. shit." I started to mumble at the end, it was a bad habit. Speaking of bad habits, I noticed Naruto biting his lip. "Don't do that, it's a bad habit." I said to him. He didn't stop. With a wicked smile, I brushed my tongue over the lip he was gnawing off. He let out a startled gasp ad he felt my glossy tongue slide over his glass lips. I got him to stop biting his lips; I tried to not think bad thoughts about him, keeping my mind clean was hard to do though. I think I truly freaked Naruto out, as I thought back I could see how my actions could have a double meaning. He shivered snapping me from my thoughts. "Are you still cold?"

Naruto:
My blush deepened as gaara was close. His body was so close to mine sharing his body heat. His hands rubbing my side causing me to feel a pleasuring sensation go up my spine. I bit my lip, trying hard to 'not get hard' but gaara was not helping. Gaara whispered "Don't do that, it's a bad habit." My eyes slightly widened. And before I knew it his tongue touched my bottom lip. I blushed. His tongue...it was just a small gesture but it made me want more. I gasped as a thought went into my mind of kissing the red head. Wait...what was he doing in the first place? Is he actually trying to help me? Or is he using me right now. Or...does he like me? No that's imposable. No demon would like me. No person on this cruel planet would.
"Are you still cold?" He asked me in a hushed whisper. So maybe he really was just trying to help me...
"G-Gaara...um." I was about to bite my lip but then I remembered the last time I did this, "N-No I'm not cold...I'm warm n-now." My ears twitched as Gaara's weight seemed to softly lighten, yet he was still on my hips. My tail swayed side to side as it was dangling off the bed, every once in a while accidently touching gaara.

Gaara:
I cracked a smile as seeing his ears twitch. He was so freaken cute! Naruto stared intently as he tried to figure out cause of my sudden smile. I felt his tail brush against my leg a few times; I guess that means he is happy. I felt unsure of myself, but that one little taste I got with that lick just wasn't enough. I craved more, it was hard to resist. I got my face in really close. I was breathing on him and he on me, his breath was ragged and strained, mine calm and even. I listened for a few seconds to our racing heart beats. I hope I wasn't scaring him, I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. I blushed, Naruto didn't close his eyes and lean into it, he just looked like he was in shock... shit.

Naruto:
I looked up at gaara, his smirk showed his fangs. They still scared me but they somewhat...intrigued me. They looked as if they could rip me apart but at the same time that mouth...I wondered if I would ever be able to kiss those lips. My eyes went wide as gaara got closer, his face in front of mine. HIs eyes burning into my very own blue eyes. I can't tell what his stares, glares or even looks mean anymore. Gaara's different than anyone I have met before. My heart beat was going 100 mph.
And then he did the thing I wanted to do...he kissed me pushing his lips to mine. It was a shock and my face turned more of a deep blush than normal. A tingeing sensation went through my body.
But then...the idea on why he did that comes to my mind. He pulled away and looked at me. Was he using me? Or did he like me.
The confusing thought filled my head and I felt like I might cry from frustration. Gaara did take my first kiss but that wasn't what got me. It was all the emotions filling my head.
"Are...Are you all right naruto?" Gaara whispered breaking me out of my thoughts. What was I to say? I don't even know what to think right now. I think I like gaara but...does he like me?

Gaara:
"Are...Are you all right naruto?" I was really concerned about him now. That kiss scared me, what if he hates me now? Urgh life is so confusing. I shut my eyes in frustration and leaned my forehead against Naruto's cool collar bone. I took steady breaths, trying to ignore the awkward silence between us. I don't know how or when, but eventually I feel asleep, cuddled up and laying on the male I liked most.

Naruto:
I blushed as gaara put his forehead on my collar bone. I didn't know what to do or to say. I could barley breath. But then eventfully Gaara's weight felt heavier. His breathing was even calmer and he slightly fell to my side. He was actually asleep and he looked so cute...wow I just called a demon cute. His pale skin looked whiter. I placed my hand onto Gaara's cheek. He didn't stir. Breathing lightly I leaned forward and kissed his forehead.
"Sweet dreams" I blushed and covered our bodies with the blankets, snuggling up to him for warmth. I was still cold...

Gaara:
I woke up groggy and with the room tilted oddly to the side. It took my brain a minute to process the fact I was just asleep. I wasn't used to waking up because I seldom slept. That was odd; I didn't have any night mares. Was it because I'd slept with naruto and not alone? I turned my attention to the blond to realize he was shaking like mad. "Naruto?" I asked, touching the side of his face. He was freezing! The temperature was moderately warm under my body heat combined with the blankets. Why was he so cold? Oh no, not hypothermia, please don't be hypothermia. I cursed him when I said it didn't I? Great! Just great. "N-naruto?" I was scared to wake him, I heard people die from this. "Hm?" he asked groggily. "Do you feel ok?" I got up and tried to sit him up, he looked so weak, and confused. He looked around him, but ended up just falling back into the mattress.

Naruto:
I was cold. I was shivering. Even if I was next to Gaara I felt bad. Worse than I felt normally. What's wrong with me? I felt tired. I wanted to fall asleep again but gaara touched the side of my face. I think he said my name but I'm not sure. He pulled me up but my body felt heavy. I looked at him softly his face looked scared stiff. "Hm?" I asked. I don't want him to feel scared. Why would he?
"Do you feel okay?" I tried to lift my arms to touch his cheek but I felt too heavy. My body wouldn't move and I shivered again. Why am I so cold?
My body fell onto the mattress and I let out a small gasp.
My eyes closed again, "G-gaa-ra?" I asked confused. What was wrong with me?
"Damn..." He swore under his breath, "Oh shit naruto your so pale! Damn what do I..." Gaara stopped midway through speaking. No don't stop talking..I like your voice...I think...I passed out.

Gaara:
He passed out, I was freaking out. Ok, what do I know about hypothermia? I had to do a report on it once; it said if the person was unconscious to call an ambulance. Two reasons I can't do that, first and foremost, there wasn't a phone, and second, they would never treat an anthro at a human hospital. The information said to check the vitals and re-warm that person. His heart seemed to be fine, but his breathing was shallow. He was so weak before. I wrapped him and me in blankets and I snuggled into him, rubbing to keep his skin stimulated and warm. I hoped this was only stage 1 hypothermia, because you need doctors for stage 2 or 3. I spent most of the morning warming him up, until he started to stir awake. I went to go make him some hot chocolate or hot apple cider if could find some. My poor Naru.
