Naruto:
I guess we really did buy a lot because before we knew it he had to go take the bags to the car.
"N-No its okay I'll just go into the book store." I softly smiled as the red head kissed my cheek.
"I won't be long. And please don't get lost." he grabbed all the bags and went to his car, while I walked in the book store. I don't know what I was exactly going to do. In truth I don't really like to read, unless I have to.
And maybe I do read a manga book every once in awhile but I never really sit down and read for fun.
I walked down every isle, looking at the different books. Some on Vampires, others on Werewolves. And then there were some with vampires and werewolves...like that was the only kind of book to read now a days. I sighed as I passed the books on demons and into a more, how should I say it? Feminine book section. There was cooking books, drawing books, diaries maybe some girl and boyfriend survival guide books and then...relationships.
It's not like I was doubting Gaara and my relationship. It's the complete opposite. I love our relationship that we have. It's just sometimes I feel as if we're not 'normal'. I hate that word but it's the only way to describe it.
I slowly grabbed it looking both ways, as if I was 11 and trying to take a peek of porn. I mean, why was I to be a little twitchy? It's not like I'm doing anything bad.
I opened the pages and found different chapter titles. Like 'what is he really thinking?' and "how you know if he's just saying I love you?'. I was mostly skipping a lot of chapters, rolling my eyes at some of the subjects but one caught my eye. 'Fast relationships'.
It's not bad to be curious right?
I skimmed most of it, too many words, but one quote stuck out ,"most relationships that go fast DO NOT LAST." it read with those words actually in capitals.
I breathed slowly. Why did I pick up this book. Why am I even thinking that this book could be true. It's probably made by some 80 year old women in her basement who doesn't even know about relationships anymore.
"What you readin?" a teasing voice came from just a few inches away from me and I jumped, the book falling from my hand to the ground.
"G-Gaara! Don't s-scare me like that!" I blushed deep red as I looked into Gaara's eyes.
"Sorry, didn't mean to Naru." He smiled and kissed me lightly on the lips.

Gaara: "
I-it's ok." he said, frozen.
I bent down and picked at the fallen book which landed on the age he was reading. I flipped it over to look but he slammed the book shut and placed it back on the shelf.
"Did you want it?"
"No." he said fast and quick. I tilted my head to the side quickly, and subconsciously as trying to figure out what he was saying.
"Oh, ok." I brushed the thought away. He was blushing so probably just embarrassed. I looked at the book titles in the section, to try and get more of a hint to the book he had. I passed a few titles like 'How to be intimate, intimacy, and passionate sex.' "Why are we in this section anyway?" I picked up a book. "These are for boys with girls." I teased a big smile on my face. "You need these over here." I walked a bit to my left and picked up a book titled homo hormones. "Or this one.." Gay relationships. "This one sounds promising." I teased still, holding up Gay sex for dummies.
"Gaara! Put those down!" Naruto's blush turned beat red as his head whipped around in both directions as he shoved the books back.
"Your right," I played along "this makes it so embarrassing, the porn is way better, this is all statistical, now if your aiming for pleasure it's different."
"Gaara, stop that's so... awkward." he whined.
was I making him that uncomfortable? He was just so cute.
"Yaoi works, the graphic novels have some stimulating pictures..."
"Yaoi? Like manga? They have that?" Naruto asked curious. I laughed; it's been a while since I enjoyed something like this.
"We'd have to go to an anime convention. Hmm I'll look when the next one near us is. I'd be a great idea for a date." I kissed him on the cheek and took him to the manga section of the book store. Now I knew he liked Manga, I picked out some of my favorites. I owned most of them, but I was looking for the new chapters of a few I collected.

Naruto:
I was so red it was almost embarrassing how red I was. Gaara just had to tease me with...using sex! It was awkward and weird and it made me embarrassed that we the topic even came up. And then he talked about porn. I almost flew out of the store so fast that people would think I was a bullet!
And now Yaoi...I maybe have heard it before. But I'm not that sure. But it had something to do with manga so it can't be that bad right? An anime convention...never been to one of those either. I didn't have enough money.
I sighed as Gaara began to again buy me a lot of things. And this time it was manga.
"Gaara, you're buying me a lot again."
"Yes but I love to buy you things...we had this conversation before." He slyly smirked, "But this time I might get a few for me as well."
"F-fine Gaara." I stuttered.
"And maybe I should get some porn to show you or-"
"GAARA!" I yelled a little too loud form embarrassment. I knew he was teasing me but it was still completely embarrassing.
"I'm just kidding Naruto. I wouldn't do anything to you that would make you uncomfortable" he gently laughed and kissed me again. But I had a feeling that somewhere in his head he was saying "I wouldn't do anything to you that would make you uncomfortable, MOST OF THE TIME."
"Okay Gaara..." I blushed lightly.

Gaara:
I'd only push him to the brink of being uncomfortable. In reality, we were moving way to fast, in my head, I wanted it to go faster. "Hey Naru? I have to go to the bathroom, be right back ok?"
"Ok." he said looking through the manga titles, sometimes pulling one out and reading the back.
I rushed back to the relationship section, and searched for a specific title I saw before. I couldn't find it.
"Can I help you?" someone asked. I blushed.
"I need a book on how to get to know your... partner better. To stop a relationship from moving too fast." I asked. I had to correct myself from saying 'boyfriend'. He looked through some titles and handed me two that he said would work. One was more for married couples though, and the other was for two people who just met. I bought the one that applies to Naruto and myself and hid it with the few manga I had picked out already, then dashed back to naruto.
I smiled when I saw he was already halfway through the first book of a series I didn't own, but I watched the show.
"Like it?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's awesome." he said, lost in the world of manga. i picked up books two and three of that same one and payed for the whole lot.
"What do you say we go to a hot spring?" I asked.

Naruto:
"Hot spring?" I said my thought out loud by accident.
"Yeah hot spring, as in a nice warm type bath that relieves stress. I could rent a private room for us."
Its not like I didn't know what a hot spring was, and it did sound pleasing.
"But Gaara...hot springs can be expensive. Plus a private room..."
"Naruto it's no problem. That's like the 30th time I said that today. If you are happy I will be happy." Gaara slightly sighed as he bought the books and grabbed the bag from the person, "and don't say that you don't think it sounds nice is because your face turned incredibly somber at the mention of it." Gaara smirked and my face turned pink.
He really can see through me. "O-Okay. It does sound nice." I responded and he smiled. Again I pictured him doing a little victory dance.
We began to walk out of the mall when he stopped, "Oh, I guess I should call and reserve one now." he smiled a little. I just nodded my head as he took out his cell phone and begin to call a number that he seemed to have memorized. I just blushed and sat in the front seat waiting for him to get done.

Gaara:
I had the number on my phone, if anything ever got to stressful, aunt Tsunade always said that instead of drinking coffee, I should try to relax my body instead of exited it. Excitement in any form adds stress. So I started going to hot springs, but I'm still addicted to coffee, it helps me forget my urges to smoke, which now are very rare.
I pulled into the hot spring area, where the receptionist guy led us to a large room. I was going to get a medium sized one, so Naruto wouldn't feel intimidated, but they were all full, and the small rooms we'd be forced to stay close to each other. And seeing as in a hot spring, you go naked; I didn't know if Naru would be comfortable with that.
"Right... so I just take off my clothes?" Naruto asked nervously.
"If it makes you feel any better I'll try not to peek... much." I added with a devious smile and seeing as I already hat my top off, I let my pants and boxers drop to the ground, without turning back I let my body sink into the shallow water.
I heard the faint footsteps of Naruto walk behind me and a bit to my left. My eyes were closed as I let the familiar relaxation take control of my body. I didn't open my eyes until I was sure he was all the way in, which I was able to tell, because he slipped his grip on the wall and grabbed me around the neck to hold still.
I smiled as I hooked my arm around his thin waist and looked at his blushing face.
"S-s-sorry." he stammered, trying to move away.
I wanted to hold him close, but he seemed awkward so I let him explore the hot spring I rented, while I closed my eyes again. Here I was used to my own thoughts. I came to reflect my problems, and stop worrying about them. I had a tendency to over worry then get frustrated at myself which I took out on other people.

Naruto:
My face was flushed red as I slightly explored the area. Again Gaara went over the top and went for a bigger room.
But it did make me feel even more relaxed then I already was. With the warm water touching my skin, and with my ears free and my tail flowing through the water I felt even more relaxed.
I stopped my exploring to look at Gaara. He looked so...calm. The only look he gets when sleeping. I slowly got back to him, and sat on one of the ledges inside the spring.
I held my arm to my chest, trying not to move it much. Without the cast on it was more prone to turn a wrong way and hurt. But the pain pills were still kicked in so it didn't hurt as much.
I leaned my head on Gaara's shoulder.
"Just don't fall asleep in the hot spring Naru, you already got hypothermia I don't want you to get a heat stroke to." I slightly rolled my eyes.
"I won't. I-it's just that t-the water feels so amazing."
"Yeah, it calms me down too."
I had to giggle at that, "You almost are never calm unless y-you're asleep."
"I'm calm with you."
"When you're not worrying about me hurting myself or getting sick."
"True but that's because I love you and care for you a lot." He said while kissing the top of my head.

Gaara:
"You're too good for me Gaara." Naruto purred, scooting a little closer, trying hard to use his left hand and not his right.
"You say that a lot, but you're wrong."
"Y-You think so?" Naruto sounded as if he doubted that.
"Well, think of it this way, if you were a human, I would have never told you I was a demon, never have brought you home, and we could have never had a relationship. Maybe not bringing you home would be a good thing, but I wouldn't have done it if I knew my brother was that stupid." I explained to my uke.
"I guess you're right." Naruto said a bit happier.
"Now that we are on the same page, I want to ask you something... do you think we are moving too fast? I mean, something's weren't us, like the fact you had to move in with me. I love you, but... I don't know much about you." It was hard to admit.
"Maybe. I don't know much about you either." Naruto admitted.
"Maybe we should talk. I already love you, nothing can change my opinion of you, so feel free to tell me anything ok?"

Naruto:
My heart was beating fast. This was the perfect time to tell gaara things that I've been thinking. All my worries but...He said it wouldn't change his feelings on me but at the same time I don't want him to think of me as a whiney baby.
Or worse, him getting some ideas because of them. Like the thought on how Gaara might not think it would be safe for me to be with him.
But...maybe I could not really talk about that. Well not just yet.
"L-Like what?" I stuttered, "We already talked about the little things o-on the way to the way to the mall."

Gaara:
"Yeah but... I mean like the big things. You said you had a fear of blood, any other fears? Claustrophobia? Any worries? Anything I can do for you? Anything you want me to do? I mean, you seem like a quiet shy type of person on first impression, but... it seems like there's more to you than that. I mean, just like there is more to me than the quiet goth dude who sits in the back of the classroom." I explained. "I just don't know what."
"Well, I don't know what to tell you." Naruto said.
I got out of the pool of water and walked to my clothes, I had tucked the bag with the book I bought into my coat pocket and I sat back down next to Naruto with it.
"What's that?" he asked, trying to read the title over my shoulder.
"A book on how to get to know your partner. I was hoping maybe this would help us slow down our relationship. not that I don't want to go fast but because... I know fast relationships don't last." I opened the book to the first chapter, skipping the introduction.
"Ok, um let's see... blah blah blah... here we go, try asking you partner 20 questions, if need be set boundaries you don't want the other cross with each question. Tell truthful answers, or tell your partner you're not comfortable with answering that question yet. It's best to be truthful and honest when starting a relationship to avoid it ending badly later. When your partner supplies the answer to the question you asked, answer your own question for a reward and to avoid repeating questions. You can exceed 20 questions if you wish, or have less than 20, depending on how much you want your partner to know." I read.
"Sounds easy enough." Naruto said.
"I don't think I have any boundaries, do you?" Naru shook his head. "Ok then, I'll go first ok... um, let's start with something simple... favorite color?"

Naruto:
"hmm," I stalled. Did I mention I'm completely indecisive? "I...I guess I like orange. But there's also yellow, dark blue and black...but yeah orange in my favorite" I smiled softly blushing.
He smiled lightly, "And my favorite color is red." he said, "Favorite school subject?"
"I like...writing I guess."
"Biology." Gaara stated, "Favorite food"
"Ramen!" I screamed without hesitation. Gaara lightly giggled. I coughed a little to hide my slight embarrassment, "A-And yours?"
There was slight silence. Was it that hard?
"I would have to say..." Gaara looked away from me for a bit, "Steak." I just nodded.
"Favorite animal?" he asked me.
"um...I guess I like froggies." I said a little childish and Gaara chuckled. "W-Well what do you like."
"Right now I like, no, love cute little foxes." I blushed.
"N-Not now then. What d-did you like before?"
"I guess I liked raccoons." I giggled in my fist and he looked at me a little oddly, "W-what's wrong with liking raccoons?"
"Raccoons are cute."
"No they're not. They're creatures of the night that are sly."
"And are fuzzy and cute." I kissed Gaara lightly on the cheek. He didn't say anything in return but his face lightly turned more pink.
For about another 20 min we talked to each other, saying different secrets and telling each other about something form our life. When we ran out of ideas we looked in the chapter of the book and found out that they had some ideas as well.
But soon we were beginning to feel flushed and got out of the hot spring, Gaara going first, then me after.

Gaara:
I politely went to the bathroom when I saw Naruto hesitating in getting out of the hot spring. When I came out, he had managed to get his pants on, and was contemplating on whether he should put his shirt or cast on first. It would be easier to put on the shirt without the cast, but he could hurt himself. I put the cast on and helped him with the shirt afterwards.
We were only there for an hour, not even.
The man at the front desk new me by name, entering it in the computer, clicking on the price and time and then telling me to scan my card.
"See you on wed Gaara." the male smiled. I normally went there every Wednesday.
"ok." I smiled. Naruto and I walked hand in hand out to my car. I let Naruto pick the CD's he wanted to listen to on the way home, it was a half an hour drive. He picked up my green day CD's.
"What's your favorite song by Green day?" naruto asked me, as if deciding which CD he was going to listen to by my favorite.
"Boulevard of broken dreams... and holiday... and know your enemy." I couldn't pick, honestly.
When we got home he seemed tired, but he helped me carry in some bags one handed. I got the rest and locked up my car.
"Buy enough?" Temari said as we walked in.
"No, we bought more but it didn't fit in the car, I had to leave it there and go pick it up tomorrow." I lied in a perfectly straight face.
"Gaara are you serious? You guys have school tomorrow!" Temari shouted at me.
"Oh yeah, and Temari, the word gullible is written on the ceiling." I commented. She looked up then looked at me confused, then she realized every word out of my mouth since I walked in was a lie. Naruto giggled as he made an exit up the stairs.

Naruto:
We put the bags in the corner with my other old clothes.
"We got to put that stuff away sooner or later." Gaara sighed as it had turned into a large pile.
"But not now..." I yawned, "I'm to tired." I said sleepily. I wasn't faking it. I was just completely drained. We went to the mall for like hours then to the hot spring until it was late at night.
Gaara hugged me sweetly.
"We can go to sleep after you take your medication." He said and I slightly groaned. Taking pills is annoying, even if they are supposed to help me.
"Awww, Naru, don't complain. There to help you." Gaara let go of me to go to his bed side table to get my medication. Then he got a water from his mini fridge and handed it to me. I sat at the edge of his bed and swallowed them whole, chugging the water afterwards.
"That's my good Naruto." I heard Gaara's teasing voice and I rolled my eyes.
I stood up from the bed to take back the comforter and lay down, signaling gaara to do the same.
"No pj's?" He asked.
"To tired t-to change." I stuttered, "Come on Gaara I'm getting cold."
The red head nodded, sliding into the bed, the sound of swaying occurred and I smiled as I cuddled into Gaara's chest. He put his arms around me and I blushed. I'm not sure if Gaara fell asleep but all I knew was that I was tired and I fell asleep...

AN-Just so you know. We do both think before we write and ask each other if we should do somthing...sometimes. But most talk is about what exacly chould the storyline be for the plot and stuff. Update more another time!
PS.

For some reason she loves the line
"Raccoons are cute."
"No they're not. They're creatures of the night that are sly."
"And are fuzzy and cute."

Dont ask me why.

Reveiws would be greatly appreciated.
