Gaara:
"Come on, stop stalling. Kankuro will be asleep humoring the concussion I gave him." I said. Naruto started to laugh, it was a small chuckle that got bigger and bigger until he was gasping for air in my car seat. "You're slap happy." I pointed out, pulling him by his upper arm out of my car. He followed me into the house, now quiet again.
Kankuro was indeed sleeping on the couch. It was normal for me to do something mean, so I grabbed a clothes pin out of a basket filled with them in the corner, and plugged it on his nose. Soon his mouth popped open so he could breathe through there and he started to snore.
"Stupid ass." I said I headed upstairs. Naruto didn't seem that happy with my decision, I had to make everything up to him.
"Go relax on the bed." I kissed him on the head as I looked through a book rack filled with CD's. I collected CD's, seeing as most of my life I was alone. Music always tried to fill the emptiness. I had a romantic CD of soft songs played with orchestra and no voices. I put on the soft music and went digging through my bathroom.
I finally found the bottle of massaging lotion that came with some shampoo I got in one of those Chinese gift exchanges. It was strawberry scented and obviously for a girl.
Naruto was on his stomach, his ears in a relaxed position and listening to the calming music. I gave him a change of clothes, something more comfortable to wear for a relaxing night in bed. He blushed as I helped him change.
"You didn't give me a shirt." Naruto said, hiding his stomach and chest scars the best he could.
"You don't need one." I smiled and kissed him lightly. He kissed me back and let out a small whine.
"But it's cold." he whispered when I pulled away. I walked over to the furnace stat and turned the room temperature up. Hot enough so he wouldn't pick up hypothermia again.
I pushed him back on the bed, the bottle of lotion sat on my bedside table. I kissed him, leaning forward, my knee between his legs. He moaned into my kiss. After a minute, I stopped.
"Lay on your back." I instructed, going for the bottle. His eyes widened.
"What are you going to do?"
"Just trust me."
Naruto:
I blushed deeper as Gaara told me to lay down on my back. But what totally got me was that he grabbed a bottle of lotion after this.
"Just trust me" he whispered making me shudder in some excitement.
"I-I always trust you." I smiled. The red head placed some lotion on his hands causing it to spread on his palms. Smirking he went back to my mouth and kissed me again, his knee still in between my legs, just a little bit away from my crotch. I blushed more and shivered when I felt the pinkish white lotion hit my skin.
"G-Gaa-"
"Shhhh, Naru, just relax." Gaara whispered and gently nibbled my neck causing me to groan in pleasure, while his hands rubbed my chest and getting to my shoulders.
Gaara:
I rubbed his chest and shoulders, gently adding pressure to relieve some of the stress. I felt him relax under me, as each joint released and settled into a comfortable position. I moved my hands around his sides and to his back... the muscles there were so tight. I sighed. Years of tension was molded into his back muscles.
"Naru, turn on your stomach for me ok?"
"Kay." he said. He seemed calm enough, I lifted my body and let him turn, then I settled back down, my hips sitting on his butt. He didn't seem to mind this, so the click of the cap could be heard as I poured some more lotion onto my hands with a squirting sound.
I let my hands slide over his back, spreading the lotion. Then I began to rub at each area, rubbing and kneading the skin and muscle. I felt each muscle relax after a period of me rubbing, some places where so tense I had to take a break from those area's and start a new one, then I worked my way back to the top to massage the already worked out muscles.
I tried my hardest to ignore the scaring on his back. It felt smooth on my fingers though, but that could just be the lotion. At one point he started to purr, not a noise from the back of the throat, but a vibration from the chest. It started really low and I didn't realize it until it was really loud. The noise turned me on, but I didn't want to get hard while I was sitting on his ass because he would feel it, so I concentrated on not doing that. But soon I gave in to a bit of the teasing noises and began kissing and nibbling on his neck again. He let out a moan, temporarily upsetting the calming balance of music and purring, but he went back to the purr again right after. His breathing was slow and relaxed, but it hitched as soon as I gently bit down on the tender skin of his neck. As soon as I felt him tense and I heard the small gasp I pulled back immediately. It was a natural reaction, a loving one at that, but I was afraid I'd hurt him. I did have sharp teeth. There wasn't any blood, which was the first thing I looked for.
"I'm sorry did I hurt you?" my mouth rushed the words out because i was worried.
"N-no." he said "you only scared me. I thought... you were, I mean it was stupid to think... I mean... you wouldn't do that." Naruto said. I didn't need to hear the rest to know that he compared me to my brother. I forgive him, he's had a long day.
"I love you Naru." I kissed the cheek that was facing me.
Naruto:
I blushed as gaara started to massage me in such a way that it made me completely relaxed. At first I didn't know how Gaara was so good at this but then I thought who cares. He was so gentle and caring.
Gaara told me to flip on my stomach, and I was in such a sense of bliss that I didn't care when Gaara sat on my butt. He worked on kneading my back. It felt so good. Almost too good. A low groan erupted from my chest unconsciously, causing it to sound sort of like a purr. At first it was embarrassing but I couldn't stop them coming out one after another.
Gaara seemed influenced by this and began to put a little more pressure on it. Lowering down to kissing and nibbling my neck. This was getting almost too hard to handle. I lightly moaned, and then the sounds turned back into the purring like noises again. I could feel Gaara's breath flutter on my neck. It was calm along with mine. Until bad thoughts flowed into my mind again. Gaara lightly bit down and I tensed. Remembering kankuro and what had happened. And the way he licked me, to taste me.
Gaara felt my stillness and I told him how it was just a stupid idea.
"I love you Naru." he kissed my cheek and I blushed. I felt bad. As if I had hurt Gaara by even thinking that he would hurt me.
"I love you to Gaara..." I said a little sadly. I looked at him with one eye as my tail lightly touched his skin. It wasn't intentional. Sometimes it has a mind of its own.
Gaara:
His tail was so cute. I grabbed it after it brushed up against me, petting it and stroking it, it acted as if it wanted some attention too. Lightly rubbing the tail behind me with one hand, and tracing light feathery touches on Naruto's back with the other. This sort of gave my fingers a break. After I did this for a while I let myself concentrate on his back again, making sure I got every kink out of every bone.
"Feel better?" I asked with a small laugh after I was done. It was a rhetorical question, but I still got a satisfying "um hmm." and then my Naru gave a big yawn, stretching his newly relaxed back muscles.
I smiled and lay down next to him, but it was hot from the heat and the fact I was really trying hard on the massage, so I took my shirt off as well and snuggled in with Naruto. Chest to chest, skin to skin, and let my 6 track CD player switch to the next romantic CD I had lined up. The music sang us to sleep.
Naruto:
I blushed as I woke up with Gaara's arms around my body. His warmth being almost radiated to me. That's when I noticed he was shirtless. Btu I couldn't care less. It didn't bother me and it didn't seem to bother him. His skin was so pail and it looked smooth to the touch. I wonder if demons get healed quickly... I moved my vision up to his face. He looked calm and his breathing was relaxed. And his eyes were a green that were light but deep. Wait...eyes? He was staring at me meaning that he was awake. My face turned deep red.
"Morning beautiful" he kissed my lips lightly and I blushed more.
"M-morning Gaara."
"You in any pain? You're supposed to take a pill this morning." Well in truth my wrist wasn't hurting until Gaara had reminded me of it. I nodded my head and he slowly rolled out of bed, stretching his arms above his head.
Gaara:
The pills he was to take were on the bedside table. I had a mini fridge on the side of my bed. I bought one to put there because if I walked downstairs in the night to get a drink, Kankuro would think I was an intruder and attack. All day you can be obnoxiously loud and he won't wake, but if your trying to be quiet, he'll hear you.
Anyway, I asked Naruto if he would like coke or root beer. He replied with root beer and I popped the can open and handed him the pills he needed.
He took them calmly, and then looked to me, taking small sips from his soda. He was still shirtless, so I dug through my clothes to find him something that would fit. After I found a shirt, he had to wear some of his own pants because the rest of mine were too big.
With the two of us living here, we had a pile of dirty clothes, so I took the pile to the washroom. As I was chucking clothes in the washer, I looked at some of Naruto's, inspected them. I didn't mean to snoop, honest... but they didn't look warm comfortable and they were old and tattered.
As I walked back in my room, Naruto was struggling with his pants. Now he had the brace on he got the shirt ok, but he couldn't clench the hand to grab the other half of his jeans.
"You know," I said as I helped him into the pants. "We should go to the mall today. Maybe we can get you some new clothes." I suggested.
"No, Gaara, you don't have to." Naruto said.
"Isn't it the boyfriend's job to buy stuff for his love? Besides mine don't fit you, and you don't have many yourself." I tried to convince him.
Naruto:
I blushed as I looked down at my hands. Yeah I guess I needed new clothes but on a regular occasion I wouldn't have any money to do so. But I didn't want Gaara to pay for me. Eyes I wanted to go out with Gaara, and going to the mall sounded like a real date, not to mention Gaara picking out clothes for me will make me happy.
But then again I sort of have the feeling of how I don't want him to do it for me.
"I-I don't know gaara."
"It's okay really. I told you I'm your boyfriend and I love you. I want to buy you something nice to wear." He smiled at me.
"W-Well..."
"Come on Naru."
"Fine I'll go. Plus it will...be sort of like a real d-date." I softly smiled.
"Yes!" Gaara said excitedly, I could only imagine him doing a victory dance and I giggled, "I'll make something to eat then we'll go okay?"
I nodded my head and smiled.
Gaara:
Pancakes were fast and easy. Naruto sat at the kitchen table, as I flipped them in the frying pan.
"Uh Gaara you're a real dick you know that." Kankuro awoke from the dead.
"You're a lazy bastard who does nothing but watch TV, eat sleep and piss for the hour of day light you are awake to see. Wanna pancake?" I said in a nice flight-attendant tone.
"Yes, I think a pancake would make up for the fact I woke up with a dry mouth because someone put a clothes pin on my nose." Kankuro sat down across from naruto. I didn't turn to see how they were looking at each other because I got a pancake on my spatula and flipped it so it landed on Kankuro's face.
"There you go, bro." I said.
"Asshole." he muttered.
"What was that?"
"I said... brass mole."
"You better have. How's your head?" I asked as if I cared. In truth I wanted to hear him say it hurt. But no, he was tough, and just tried to make me feel guilty.
"I think you gave me brain damage, I'm over here muttering brass mole under my breath!" Kankuro said. So it's a game of whit he wants?
"Right, it has nothing to do with the fact you used to eat the led paint off the side of my crib when we were kids." I rolled my eyes. "Or that video dad has of Temari holding you and she dropped you! Or that time you fell down the stairs and got your head stuck between the railings." I teased.
He scowled. I set a plate in front of Naruto. He seemed to relax listening to me and my brother go heads at each other, but he was still a little tense. I didn't make my plate yet, but I noticed he was having trouble holding his fork with the cast on.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"It still hurts to move my fingers, Tsunade said it would for a while, to wait until my pills kick in." Naruto explained.
"Oh right." I sat with him and helped him eat again, this time eating a bit myself just using his fork. When we finished off the first pancakes I made more, giving my brother his on a plate this time.
After we were done, I called Kankuro a loser, and that he better start pulling his weight around here. "I cooked, you ate, that means you clean up." I pointed to the dishes.
"Naruto ate too!" Kankuro protested.
"Naruto can't get his cast wet. Who's fault is that? If you didn't do this to him, he might have helped you, and you could have had our first pancake on a plate." and with that I left. The whole thing being said in a teasing, I'm-better-than-you tone of voice.
Naruto:
Gaara held my hand as we went back to his room to pick up his wallet. In truth sitting across from Kankuro began to make my head spin. I was scared but at the same time Gaara was there so I felt safe.
Gaara maybe didn't see it but at the corner of my eye I swear I saw kankuro smirk just a little.
"You ready?" He asked as I tucked in my tail and grabbed a hat to hide my ears, I nodded and he put his arm around my waste as we walked downstairs, passed kankuro muttering swears over the sin, and out the door to his car.
Again I sat shotgun as we drove down the street. It wasn't an awkward silence, thank god we actually talked about random things. Sometimes he would ask questions like favorite color class and other things and I would answer them.
But in truth I just liked the way his voice calmed me.
When we pulled up into a parking lot and into a parking space, he smiled at me.
"Just wait right there Naru." Gaara got out of his car door and opened mine for me.
"Y-You don't have to do that." I blushed.
"But Naru, yes I do. If this IS a date" He smirked softly as I got out and he closed the door. Quickly grabbing my left hand with his right
Gaara:
It felt right to have his hand in mine. There were some awkward stares but I ignored them as I opened up one the big glass doors that are the main entrance to the mall.
"Ok, so what stores do you want to shop at? There is... Aropostal, Abercrombie and fitch, dillards, sears and jc penny, hot topic and... I think that's it."
I helped Naruto pick out tons of shirts and pants and shorts. I had to help him in the changing room because of his bad wrist, so it was time consuming. He tried on a pair of skinny jeans, for me. He couldn't tuck his tail in but he looked so adorable I told him he should get them for around the house.
He looked good in yellow and orange. Red was NOT his color. He looked sexy in black too. I bought him some shirts from hot topic next, one shirt I bought for me, it was a kingdom hearts two shirt.
We went to abercrombie and fitch, the dressing rooms were small, but they had some nice pants that Naru fit into. Last we hit sears, buying a pair of fuzzy pajama pants and a top, a belt, and a nice jacket so he won't have to take mine all the time.
"Ok, I think it's time for a lunch break, they have a really good Chinese restaurant, unless you want something like subway or McDonalds. then we can get some ice cream if you're up for it, maybe stop in journeys and try on some shoes if you want, and maybe we could hit some of the other stores." I said.
"Gaara, you're buying me so much."
"It's nothing. I have tons of money sitting in my bank saying 'spend me Gaara, spend me!' I don't need or want anything for myself... well that's not true. I want you, and more importantly, I want you to be happy."
"I am happy."
"I'll be happy if you let me buy you nice things."
"I don't deserve you." Naruto said, not sadly, but proud as if he was the luckiest guy in the world. He had that wrong, I was the luckiest guy in the world.
Naruto:
Gaara looked happy as he picked things out for me, helped me change and I slightly modeled in the tiny changing room, he looked happy when he bought me something and when he grabbed my hand...Happy.
How he can be happy because of buying me things? Maybe that's how 'normal' couples are supposed to act.
Now the skinny jean incident is sort of embarrassing. At first I refused saying how they wouldn't look good on my or How they wouldn't even fit on me. But Gaara wanted to see them so how could I refuse? I had more trouble putting them on and I almost fell. Gaara helped me though and he said I looked cute and I didn't want to deny him...
Gaara and I got many stairs. Just because we were together. But I didn't care.
After we ate Gaara said we should get ice cream and I only nodded.
"What kind?"
"I like vanilla..."
"Vanilla it is" he smiled at me and I laughed. I really don't deserve him. He's the best person probably in the whole world! And I have him.
"Here" Gaara put a cone with a vanilla swirl in front of my face to snap me out of my thought.
I licked some off and Gaara smiled at me softly. I looked at Gaara with a faint blush.
"W-Where's yours?"
"I didn't get one."
"H-How come! I don't want to be the only one."
"It's okay Naru. If it makes you feel better ill share yours."
I blushed as Gaara leaned in and licked the opposite side of the cone.
"Naruto." Gaara said in a teasing voice and I took my eyes off of his mouth to his eyes, "If you don't lick your side it's going to drip and make a mess."
I blushed more as we both finished the ice cream, took a small kiss and then, again, started shopping.
Gaara:
We tried on a bunch of shoes. He wanted to go for some regular brands, but I pulled him into journeys and had him try on the DC's and the vans. He didn't look good in the shoes that made his feet look big, so we tried some that make his feet look small. I got him a black comfortable pair that matched most anything we bought him today.
After that, I took a short trip to the car, to drop off the loads of bags while naruto claimed he would be fine hanging out in the book store for a few minutes. As I was walking to the car, I passed by Spencer's. It was too... vulgar a store for me to bring Naruto in, but he wasn't with me right now. I walked in, it was a personal favorite store for me, but most of the sex games and such don't mean much when you don't have that special someone to play them with.
I picked up a few; I even picked up a pair of hand cuffs just for the hell of it.
Quickly storing all the bags in my trunk, I hurried back to naruto. I searched the book store, I guess he thought I was going to take longer, or he was lost in his own world, but he was reading a book about relationships.
