Gaara:
"You wanna drive my car home? and I'll take the moving van?" i asked. Naruto blushed. i looked at him questioningly.
"Well you s-see... i don't have m-my license..." Naruto said slightly looking away.
"Then how did you bring me to the hospital...? wait you didn't?"
"I did. i drove your car. i know how, i just never got tested."
i calmed myself. Naruto seemed a bit guilty even though i owed him for saving me then.
"Well, thank you then. if it wasn't for you, I'd be a blood stain on my bedroom floor right now." i smiled. Naruto shivered at the imagery and i remembered his fear of blood. "Sorry." i added. i pulled into my driveway. here we go... stage 1. "Naru, i don't blame you at all, if you want to stay in the car."
his ears hung low, he looked at the house and contemplated an answer, as if the house could tell him. he looked back at me and had that expression like he was about to bite his lip.
"I-I'll go." he stuttered.
we walked into the house together, hand in hand. Sasuke, my father, Temari, and Kankuro was there.
"Who want's to be nice? ok Sasuke and dad are ruled out, kankuro? temari?" i inquired.
"Depends on what you're asking for." Kankuro said.
temari looked like she was going to say something else. "What is it Gaara?" she asked instead seeing my expression.
"I'm moving out. i need someone to drive my car while i drive the van." i announced.
"Moving?" my dad and temari echoed each other.
"Bought an apartment, for me and Naruto." i glared at my dad. he moved sort of behind me at the mention of his name. as if he was trying to hide. i never wanted him to be afraid of my family. Sasuke was silent for the whole tussle, my sister bickering at dad that it's his fault that the youngest child was leaving to face the world alone, and my dad bitching and moaning that i deserved to be cut off anyway, that this is easier than him disowning me.
"but dad, you agreed to apologize to them. your son, and his boyfriend. just because he's moving your going to go back on that?" Temari asked.
"if i agree to drive your car, is that a free pass to leave this behind for a few minutes?" kankuro asked.
"You're Highered. come on." i told my brother.

Naruto:
I don't hate kankuro anymore. For one IM smarter than him by a long shot and two he did save me from Sasuke...Now the raven...he scares me and its not just because he tried to rape me and Gaara. Its because he still reminded me of that demon that rampaged and killed my parents. I know its supposed to be impossible, he's to young, but he still does.
Gaara had my hand as we walked back out of the house. I could feel Sasuke's and Gaara's fathers eyes on me as we walked.
When we got to the car, kankuro sat shot gun almost automatically causing me to have to sit in the back. which caused Gaara to glare a bit at his brother. but kankuro shrugged it off like it was nothing and i smiled.
There wasn't much talking, maybe a few syllables but nothing important really.
When we got to the renting place Gaara got out and went to go rent a truck.
Kankuro stared out of the window and i looked at him shyly. The silence was getting ay to uncomfortable for my open good.
"um...Kankuro. At the hospital...thanks." He just wagged his hand at the comment.
"It wasn't a big deal. I owed Gaara."
"But you still did it..." I whispered.
"And yeah maybe i owed you to. I didn't know that you weren't just Gaara's little treat. But i do admit that you do taste good..."
I shivered at the thought. He must of saw this.
"Sorry." He whispered.
My eyes widened. this time his sorry didn't sound so douchey.
"Hey Naru. Ready to come? there's shot gun in the truck." Gaara opened the back seat car door and i lightly jumped.
I smiled, "Y-Yeah."

Gaara:
as Naruto jumped out, kankuro shuffled over my shift handle and into the drivers seat of my car. i rolled my eyes as he rolled down the window and held out a hand for my keys.
"One scratch, and I will call temari a bitch and use you as a shield." i whispered the threat to make it sound more demanding.
"Ok, i get it..." i gave him the keys. "wanna race?"
"Kankuro!"
"Kidding!" but he skidded off.
"Maybe... temari would have been a better pick." i rethought that equation as i pulled out the key to start the rental van. Naruto hopped in on the passenger side, but he couldn't grab the handle with his right hand, so i helped to lift him up into the seat. he blushed when i placed my hands on his waist to give him the lift he needed, but i couldn't get my arms much higher, so i had to move one hand and place it on his butt for the extra inch.
"Thanks." he blushed when he was in the seat.
i just shut his door with a smile. when i got in the passenger side i smirked. "Any excuse to touch your ass really." Naruto was between a blush and a smile.
"you like my butt?" he said shyly but i could tell he enjoyed that thought.
"I love your butt. it's so cute." i said. and it wasn't a lie.
Naruto beamed, and i started to drive home. "I bought some boxes, it was 50 for $20, which is a deal and a half, boxes can get expensive. they are in the back."
when we got back i saw my car, thankfully in one piece, and kankuro leaning against it having a smoke. he helped me carry the boxes in, and surprisingly no one else was home. temari left a note saying they went out for a drink, and decided to leave me home to myself. i was happy for this, i thought dad would make a big stink about it.
upstairs, kankuro opened up the boxes, seeing as they were all flat, and started turning them into box form, while i started to put stuff into boxes. Naruto put all of his stuff in a few boxes as well, most of it was in his corner that we had yet to clean out.
i only used my dresser for clothes, and seeing as it was my dads dresser, so we would have to share the closet or buy my own. i had some money for furniture, i just didn't want to spend a fortune. the money will have to last us until i can get a steady job.
i took out all the drawers and put my clothes from them in a box, then i sealed it up and put it in the start of a full box pile. when kankuro finished with the empty boxes, he grabbed the one from the few finished boxes and brought it down to the truck.
my closet i didn't use for clothes, i had a bunch of old junk in there, and I'll tell you, it's a walk in.
i left the closet for last, going into the bathroom and putting all my supplies in a box. leaving nothing but the set of towels behind, because temari bought those. i even took the shower curtain that can be used over the bathtub. i didn't have one in the apartment, and this one was just sitting in the bathroom closet anyway. that box went to the finished pile.
it took me a while to get my DVD player and ps2 unplugged from the TV and from the wall, i put those and the wires in a box, then worked on getting the TV off of the stand attached to the wall. i took the sheets off my bed and used them to cover the TV so it wouldn't get any scratches.
"Can i help with something?" Naruto asked me.
"Yeah, we need to take the bed apart."
i explained to Naruto, after we pushed the mattresses off, how to unscrew the frame from the head board and Naruto worked on one side while i did the other.
kankuro and i each got an end of the mattress while Naruto carried the bars of the frame down stairs and into the moving van.
i told Naruto when we came back up, to help Kankuro with the boxes seeing as they were piling up. i put my radio and itunes into the box with the other electronics, and emptied out the bed side table so it would be easier to carry. all that was left was the mini fridge, the bedside table and the stuff in the closet.
i turned my attention to the closet.
a lot of stuff brought back memories. a nerf gun, from one Christmas when Kankuro and i got one each and spent all day hitting each other and reloading with the bullets found on the ground.
then, i found a scrap book. it was a faded blue, and for a second, i didn't realize what it was. but as soon as i saw the cover i dropped it. i took a breath to calm myself, and i picked up the scrapbook, the cover, a picture of me and Sasuke kissing. it was a scrap book i started when we first started dating, and i stopped as soon as i realized i didn't love him anymore.
i opened the book to see the two of us at a beach, taking the picture with one hand so the ocean was behind our heads. i flipped a little further, to a school day where we all wore funny hats, and i had a hotdog hat on that was too big. on the other side was Sasuke with a mardi gras hat on. the next page Sasuke had taken a picture of himself without his shirt on, and i had done an exact drawing of it, with the picture i drew right next to the original in the book. he was the first person i ever had shown my drawings to, i knew i was good, i just didn't think anyone cared. Sasuke had brought me out of my shell, and this was the first step to it. in a way he saved me, and then he ruined me.
"W-what is that?" Naruto's voice came from over my shoulder.

Naruto
"W-what is that?" I stuttered looking over Gaara's shoulder. I was dead stiff at the thing i saw.
Gaara, surprisingly to me, didn't freak out at my presence. He didn't drop the book or slam it shut. Instead he turned around looked me in the eye and pulled me in for a hug.
"I love you Naru..."
"I love you to." I blushed but it didn't take my mind off the book.
"that book was made a loooong time ago...when i still loved Sasuke and i thought he loved me." Gaara sighed, putting one hand around my waste while another was lazily on my shoulder, softly petting through my hair.
"Oh..." Was my only response. By now i know i hate hearing anything that has to do about anything with Sasuke and Gaara's past. I don't know if its because of jealousy or because i know what Sasuke put Gaara through and it makes me mad. Or maybe its just because i just don't like Sasuke in general.
Or maybe its because i KNOW that Sasuke had once made Gaara happy. That Sasuke was Gaara's first love. I don't know.
"Hey Naru..." Gaara kissed me lightly out of my thoughts as my cheeks blushed a faint pink, he softly dropped the book to the floor, "Your done packing your stuff right?"
"Y-Yeah."
"Then I'm almost done. I just gotta do my closet." He looked at his watch, "Holy crap! its been 3 hours already. They should be home soon."

Gaara:
Naruto and i just stuffed everything from my closet into boxes, and brought them down stairs. i carried the mini fridge down and Kankuro got the night stand. "What about the book shelf?" Kankuro asked. i turned around. i did buy the book shelf didn't i? i had already taken all my CD's out of it and put them in boxes. but hey if it was mine i could find some use for it in my new place. Kankuro and i turned the bookshelf on it's side and had some trouble lifting it. it was a bid book shelf and on the back said there was no place to grab onto. in the end we ate supper and waited for my dad and Sasuke to get home, and had them help us.
Sasuke glared at me the whole time, even though i only asked dad for help, he seemed he needed to tag along. i needed the help, but he didn't have to come. when we got it in the moving van, i shut the door and tossed Kankuro the keys to my car. he'd be driving it to my house.
"Oh Gaara, i can't believe your leaving us!" my sister grabbed me in a bear hug. i blushed, but hugged her back.
"It's not like I'm leaving the country, i live 10 minutes away. come visit us. by tomorrow we should have everything set up." she kissed me on the cheek.
"well, looks like my youngest son grew up first." my dad didn't have much feeling in his voice. i didn't know and i didn't care what he thought about my move. Naruto was waiting patiently by my side. Temari hugged him too.
"Gaara must really love you." she said. "He's the kind of person who could deal with my dad's crap, he's only moving out because he doesn't want you in the middle of it. so he must really care about you." she gave him another quick hug.
"is that a good thing?" my father said, almost as if he knew something. like he didn't think it would work out. I'd prove him wrong.
"Bye. I'll see you guys soon." i smiled and got in the moving van. when we got to the new place, it was getting dark, but we still had a good four hours before bed time. Kankuro helped me with getting all the heavy furniture inside, then i left Naruto alone doing the boxes while i drove Kankuro home real quick. when i got back, i saw our land lord helping Naruto with the boxes.
"Was he mean to you?" i asked under my breath when i got there.
"No, he just asked if he could help. my wrist was hurting and i didn't know where my pills got to, so i decided to wait until you got home. i think he didn't think i could handle it by myself. you know, because I'm half animal." Naruto said sarcastically.
"it's ok, your pills are in my car, there should be some soda in the fridge upstairs." i told him, while i grabbed a box and started to hull it up the steps to our new apartment.
