Gaara
I didn't like the amount of light in the room. It turned the back of my eye lids red, giving my dreams reddish hew, but at the same time, I knew it was a dream, just not how to wake up. I felt movement next to me.
"Gaara?" I heard someone say. Naru?
"Hmm?" I said.
"Gaara wake up. It's been like... 2 hours are you ok?" I couldn't make out any words. My brain didn't process them. I felt groggy. "Gaara? Seriously, I've never seen you this... out of it before. Are you ok?" Naruto had a tint of worry to his voice. I found I could open my eyes and I looked up at my Naru, he was half sitting up in bed feeling my forehead to see if I was hot.
"What was that?" I asked my words slurred, my eyes couldn't stay open.
"You're normally awake two hours ago. I let you sleep in because... well I couldn't wake you up at the normal time. I tried, but I didn't want to be rough. I finally got you to open your eyes, don't close them! Gaara, please stay awake, are you ok?"
I bolted upright. "Two hours? woh-" I gripped my head. It was starting to hurt, I felt the need to close my eyes from the pain, and the room started spinning. "Oh shit, I didn't take my pills last night, did you?" I asked, again my words slurred together. It was like a migraine plus a hangover times 3.
"No, I forgot."
"That's why." I wasn't feeling too great at the moment, my head hurting. I took my pills and waited a little while for them to kick in. Naruto saw I wasn't feeling too well, and he made himself some pop tarts in our new toaster oven. I didn't eat anything, my head hurt too much.
Naruto:
I'm worried. More worried than I've been about school or my life actually. If Gaara got sick...what would I do? I can barley take care of myself when I'm sick. Barley take care of myself when I'm not sick.
But he wasn't warm...he just didn't seem like he was totally in it. I made myself breakfast, not knowing if Gaara would want anything. I ate my pop tart, me being fidgety every few seconds, causing me to always check up on Gaara to make sure he didn't go back to sleep.
"Naru...just go eat."
"And you?" I asked worriedly
"I don't want anything."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I'm not that hungry. Just finish eating and then go get ready for your interview alright?"
"Were still going to that?" I asked. If Gaara's not fine then we shouldn't go.
"I'll be okay in 3 hours when it is. We made this appointment I would think we would have to go." Gaara smiled, his hand still lightly holding his head. I just nodded.
"Fine Gaara..."
finishing the pop tart I got dressed still watching Gaara intently.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
Gaara
Naruto scurried into our room. After a few moments of mental preparation, I stood up, avoiding the dizziness, and used the wall to get to the bathroom. I shut the door behind me and striped, turning on the water. A nice shower would help the headache. Loud noises and eerie quiet are two things I try to avoid if I have a head ache.
I washed up quickly, and spent most of the time just trying to clear my head. After a while, I don't know how long, there was a knock on the door. I don't know which door, and I didn't think about it, it was really feint under the roar of the shower.
It happened again.
"Gaara? Are you ok in there? It's been almost half a hour." my uke's voice carried from the hallway.
I was thinking of how to answer that, when the handle turned and Naruto peered in. "g-Gaara?" he stuttered. We couldn't see each other through the curtain, but we could make out each other's shapes.
"I'm fine. Sorry." I said.
"Why didn't you answer me?" Naruto said, a bit hurt.
"It didn't register in my brain. Sorry, I'm not fully awake I guess." I said.
"Maybe you should get out then." Naruto suggested. I turned off the shower and stuck my hand outside the curtain to grab my towel, wiping off my body behind the closed curtain and wrapping myself in a towel before moving it and stepping out.
Naruto let out a gasp. "Hm?" I asked.
He was blushing like crazy and he held his nose. I tilted my head to the side not understanding what his problem was. Nosebleed? Really? My uke? It was ironic, and under different circumstances I might have pounced him right there, but instead I just smiled and left to go find some clothes.
Naruto
I stood there in the bathroom dead stiff holding my nose like an idiot. I did not just do that! And in front of Gaara. A nosebleed? Really! After a few minutes of me standing like an idiot I thought I should do something about...my little problem. I grabbed a piece of toilet paper and tried to stop the bleeding. I was still blushing like mad and I'm sure that if I was talking I'd be stuttering like crazy!
Gaara...No shirt...only towel...he looked so...Hot? Sexy? Beautiful Handsome desirable? How can I pick one word for him?
I tried to keep my mind off of Gaara as I tilted my head back, some fog still in the bathroom causing me to feel hotter than I already was.
When it finally stopped bleeding I breathed a long breath and looked at myself in the mirror after I wiped it clean.
I was blushing. Bright red blush covered my cheeks. Damn.
"Naru?" I could hear Gaara in somewhat a teasing tone.
"Y-Ye-Yeah Gaara?" I told you I was going to stutter.
"Are you alright? You've been in there for about 15 min."
"Hm? Um yeah. I-I'm alright." I tried to calm myself more as I snaked my hand through my hair, lightly touching my ears. I walked out of the bathroom and to the bedroom to see Gaara, looking better on the bed; He smirked at me then patted the bed net to him. At first I didn't go, still embarrassed and blushing but then he gave me slight puppy dog eyes and I listened.
There was silence as Gaara put his arm around my shoulder, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
I just nodded, still not feeling as if I could talk right. Gaara kissed my cheek then my lips, "You do know it was really...adorable." He smiled
Gaara
He was so cute blushing right now, but all I could think about was the look on his face during his nose bleed. It had really made my day. I made my way back to the bathroom and brushed my hair. Naruto combed some of the knots out of his as well, and he made it look really cute. I pulled out my toothbrush, and squeezed on the tooth paste, but as soon as I tasted the minty blue substance, my stomach turned.
I felt a gag rip from the back of my throat and I opened the toilet, vomiting into it. It took a second for my head to stop spinning, and then my body started shaking life normal after you vomit. I Had Naruto place hands on my shoulders.
"Gaara, what's wrong?" he asked really worried.
"I think I was supposed to eat with the pills I took.' I muttered, just before heaving some more stomach acid into the toilet bowl.
"Lovely." my accent couldn't get any more sarcastic.
Naruto
I tried not to breathe through my nose as I rubbed Gaara's back lovingly. I was already nervous and worried and the smell of puke would just make me throw up as well.
"I'm sorry..."
"What do you have to be sorry for?" Gaara asked between breaths. As if he was trying hard not to vomit again worried would be his stomach next.
"I should have made you something to eat and forced it down your throat. You would have done it to me." I sighed. Still rubbing Gaara's back while he shook from his aftershock.
Gaara lightly chuckled, "I've never heard you speak like that."
"Well...it's true."
"Anyway it's...kinda too late for that. I could try to eat...if I don't throw up again at even the smell of food." Gaara started to get up a little shakily but I stopped him.
"No ill cook for YOU this time." He looked at me oddly, "and it's not going to be boiled water or ramen. Just something you're supposed to make for people with bad tummies." Did I really just say tummies? Oh well what's said is said.
Gaara lightly chuckled when he spit in the toilet again, "And what would that be?"
"Fried eggs and maybe some bacon...unless you don't want it. I'm not the best cook unless it's in the microwave or toaster."
"I would love to eat it Naruto...just sorry if I can't keep it down."
"That's okay...I'll be gone for about 5 min. Just please survive until then." I whispered. And then left to the kitchen.
Taking out the pans I accidently dropped them on the floor, causing a loud noise and me to silently curse.
"Are you okay in their Naru?" Gaara yelled from the bathroom.
"Y-Yeah just stay right there!" I heard a sigh but no footsteps coming toward the kitchen. I took out the ingredients, butter, eggs and bacon. I turned on the burner as I let it heat the butter in the pan up I placed bacon on a plate then a paper towel over the top placing it in the microwave. Like I said normally I wasn't able to make anything unless it was microwaveable. But you can make bacon in the microwave so it's easy for me.
I really need Gaara to teach me how to make more things...
The sizzling of the butter in the pan is what woke me up from my slight daze. I mixed the melted butter around the bottom of the pan. For some reason I always end up using way more butter than needed. Anyway as the bacon popped in the microwave I cracked two eggs into the pan. With not a shell. My ears twitched at the ding of the microwave and I smiled when I noticed the food wasn't burnt.
I flipped the egg in the pan and cooked it until it was easy enough to break the yellow part and cook that to.
I finished everything by putting it on the plate along with the bacon.
"Gaara?" I called. I checked in the bathroom he wasn't there.
"I'm...in the bedroom." he replied.
I walked in there slowly, a little shaky and nervous. I'm not a good cook and I know that, but I don't want to make him sicker than he already is.
Gaara
Naruto walked in our room, I was laying down concentrating on stopping my head from spinning. "Ready?" I asked. It was casual, but Naruto seemed nervous from my words. I held out my hand, he grabbed it without hesitation, and I used him as a spotter when I stood up, the three feet from the bathroom to the bed room made me feel like I was gonna pass out.
He led me to the table, all nice and set up. I sat down and looked at the food, my stomach made a gurgling sound that sounded to me like "Don't eat that food or I'll spit it back out." and not "I'm hungry." I looked at Naruto a look of distaste on my face.
"Eat." he said, pushing the plate into me. I sighed and took a bite, chewing but trying not to taste. It wasn't bad, the bacon tasted off, but I'd never had microwavable bacon before. I would have enjoyed it more if my throat wasn't protesting and threatening to murder my breakfast to a life of chewed food in the garbage can.
I swallowed all of it though; closing my eyes and concentrating on letting it settle in my stomach, I could feel it settling in my stomach. I stood up and took a tall glass out of the cupboard, pouring a size able amount of milk in it. I drank nearly half of it in one gulp, then filled it back up to the top and sat down.
"That was a lot of milk." Naruto said his ears pointing forward in a relaxed alert state as he stared at the milk now in front of me.
"It's easier for me to eat if I have something to wash it down with. Mostly human food. It's a demon thing, Temari drinks over 2 gallons of water a day, Kankuro stuffs himself full of beer and alcohol and I drink milk as fast as a cow can make it."
After I was done, I chucked the dishes in the sink. "It was very good Naru. I love you so much. Thank you, I feel a lot better though." I snuggled into his side, pulling him close to me and resting my chin on the top of his head.
"Thanks Gaara, it's not as good as yours though." Naruto said, but still very happy from the compliment. I guess he didn't mind if I was the better cook, as long as he had a trick or two up his sleeve for if I'm sick or something.
"Well, maybe I can give you a few pointers. You can be my assistant chef, and I'll teach you to cook a few things." I suggested.
"That'd be great!" he beamed. I smiled.
"Alright, we have to get going soon though, or we'll miss our appointment." I pointed out, as I got a glimpse of the time.
Naruto
smiled. I swear I would have died if I cause Gaara to be sicker than he already was. And when he said he would teach me some things I could only smile more. That's the thing I wanted to ask him to help me on.
I nodded in agreement as I hugged Gaara, holding him close to me. I was still nervous. I wouldn't be able to drop the feeling. He must have felt me tighten me grip because he started to repeat things like 'don't be afraid' and 'I'll be right there.' but it didn't fully help me.
"Well, I guess I can go try to brush my teeth again." Gaara smirked.
I just nodded and followed him into the bathroom. He looked at me oddly.
"I want to make sure your okay." I assured him and he began brushing his teeth.
This time he didn't throw up or even gag and he smiled at me.
"Can I get a kiss now?" He asked me. Was he waiting to brush his teeth to kiss me? So he wouldn't have pukey breath.
"You don't have to ask..." Gaara walked closer to me and kissed me on the lips lightly. We stayed a while in the bathroom, him lightly rubbing my cheek as we kissed.
"We really should be going though." He breathed out and I just took his hand shakily while he kissed my forehead.
"It will be okay."
"Fine. I believe you Gaara. I'm just nervous. What if they don't want me because I'm an anthro?"
"Then there completely insane to not want someone that's completely cute. I would either find another school or I could get you a tutor. Or… I could just be your teacher." Gaara grinned and I laughed thinking of Gaara with reading glasses, pushing them up on the bridge of his nose as he scolded me for not doing my homework.
"What's so funny?" He poked me.
"Just imagining you being my teacher."
Gaara
The playful voice he said that in had me grinning. Naru was so cute. My Naru. It was so satisfactory to be able to say that. He followed me out to my car, and I drove to the school. We were a bit early, but that's good, it showed that we cared about his education. They had us wait in the office for a few minutes, before the receptionist let us in.
"hello, my Name is Anko Mitarashi and I am the principal of Konoha High." she said as we walked in. she had a smile on her face, but it was kinda creepy to me, she reminded of me of a pedophile. Anyway, she wore a long trench coat that really brought out her curves, and for a principal she was wearing a lot of fishnet. She didn't look like a slut, per se, but it made her look like she could handle herself around men. If I wasn't gay, she would be sexy, and if she is a lesbian, (which I wouldn't doubt because she reminds me of Ellen DeGeneres) then she would be the 'seme' lesbian. I don't know if you can use seme and uke with lesbians, but hell she fits that description. Even if she was straight, I wouldn't doubt she would be seme over her guy. Her black hair was pulled into a pony tail that stuck up behind her like peacock feathers, or a fan, and her bangs were longer on the sides of her face and ironed to the side in the middle.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Mitarashi, but my friend Naruto here, wants an interview to see if he can attend school here.
"Please call me Anko." she smiled at me, she had a flirty smile but I think she looked that way to most everyone who walked in here. Her eyes flickered to Naruto as the second part of what I said registered in her brain.
Anko's smile waivered for a second then she smirked. "An anthro? Wants to attend school. You got guts kid. What was your name again?" she asked. It was too early to tell if she was laughing at Naruto or if she admired his confidence.
Naruto looked to me real quick. I could tell he was nervous around her, if I wasn't a demon I'd be nervous around her. I nodded in encouragement.
"Uzumaki, N-Naruto." he stuttered.
"Hmm, a Kitsune, how cute. And you just expect me to let you into high school? With no prior education?" she asked still smirking. I stepped in before it went downhill.
"He has had prior education, he disguised himself as a human, and attended a private school they are less curious there as long as they get money in their pocket. But they found out that he was an anthro and kicked him out. He doesn't have much school left to complete, I would hate for it to be a waste." I said. She looked at me is if processing what I said. "He's smart, and he can prove it." I said. She had a look on her face that said 'why are you doing all the talking.'
"Hun, can I speak to Naruto alone for a few minutes?" she had an evil smirk on her face.
"Naru, I'll be right outside this door ok?" I said.
"O-o-ok." he trembled a bit, and for a second I didn't care that Anko was in the room and I gave him a small kiss on the lips. If I showed confidence, Naruto will show confidence. And I walked into the hall.
Naruto
I put my fingers up to my lips and touched them lightly where Gaara had pecked. I don't know why it felt a little different than normal. Maybe it's because Gaara has never really kissed me in public, let alone in front of the principal to the new school I wanted to go to. Yes we hugged, held hands and gazed into each other's eyes but I don't remember kissing him in public. I blushed at the thought as Anko coughed in her fist, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Naruto, why not have a seat."She flicked her wrist to a leather chair. I nodded a little shakily as I lowered myself slowly onto the leather chair.
"So, your an anthro, a Kitsune, one of the most rarest kinds, AND gay? Wow kid." Anko smirked and I didn't know if she was asking a question.
"So, he said you've had a past with schooling?" she smirked a bit, what looked like to me, evilly. She made me more nervous.
"Speak! You can cant you?"
"Y-yes." I whispered, "I used to go to an anthro school for years t-then transferred up north to pr-private school." I stuttered she just smirked.
"And you said you got kicked out because you are so adorable?" She grinned as she played with pencil in-between her fingers.
My ears perked up and I lightly blushed. Did she just say I was adorable? I smiled.
"I-I guess..."
There was a bit of silence except for our breaths and her chair as she turned from side to side.
"What are our hobbies Uzumaki?"
"I like to make bracelets but I mostly like to write."
"And what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"My dream is to become a writer." I said and she smiled.
"So even if you were beaten and bloody, because you are an anthro and you are gay, you still want to go to this school for the right education to reach your dream?" She smirked evilly and I gulped. The image played in my head and I absolutely wished I had Gaara right next to me.
My ears drooped, "Y-Yes." I whispered.
She smirked then stood up and walked to the door quietly, yanking the door open, causing Gaara to fall on the inside of the room. I smiled as Gaara fell to the floor face first, "A-Are you okay Gaara?"
"Yeah Naru..."
Gaara
"Worried?" she asked me in a teasing tone.
"Yeah. Well. He only got beat up at his old school, and scolded by the principal because he was an anthro, I just really don't want a repeat." I answered truthfully.
"Well, he's alright in my book. When can he start? I'll make up a schedule for him tonight, and be sure to let his teachers know to keep an extra special eye out for him. This way we can minimize the accidents ok?" she spoke to both me and Naru, who had instantly took to my side as if I said heel. He nodded at her words as if understanding that he could still get hurt if he's not careful.
"It's a risk, but good colleges look at people who have lots of extracurricular activities, so home schooling wouldn't come in handy, so I figured I would try this out first." I explained.
"Oh, well in that case, Naruto, we have a writing club Wednesdays at lunch. They are a really nice group of kids." Anko said trying to be helpful. Naruto's ears perked p in curiosity. "There is also a sowing class, if you wanted to take that as an elective, seeing as you like to make bracelets. Does that sound nice? Or you can take a creative writing class along with English."
"Creative writing!" he said almost hyper, then blushed and piped down. Naruto didn't seem like the kind of guy to sow either.
"Ok then, I'll make sure that's your elective. I know this is random and probably none of my business, but do you two live together?" Anko asked.
"Yes." I stated not wanting to lie and feeling no need to.
"So he's your boyfriend and you live together? Cute. Now about gym... you can take gym if you want, but we wave gym if you're taking a dance or yoga class, would you be interested in one of those?"
Naruto
My ear perked up at the idea of dance. I always wanted to learn well...I always wanted to learn if I do it correctly. When alone, and if I had nothing else to do, I would dance. I've never danced in public. The only time someone saw me dance was when my uncle barged into my room, without knocking, to show me his new porn book.
"Naru?" Gaara waved his hand in front of my face.
"Um...what? Oh. I like dance." I didn't look in Gaara's eyes but I could tell that he was staring down at me with a small smile.
"Well Naruto, as of now I don't think I have any other things to ask you. Or tell you...except for this. In this school there are cliques or groups. Or you can call them gangs. Some are nice but just make sure not to piss some off. Okay?"
I nodded my head slowly as Gaara placed his hand in mine. I grinned. And scooted a bit closer to Gaara.
"So Cute!" Anko screeched as she looked liked she was holding in a very loud Fangirl scream.
"I'll see you at the beginning of next week okay Naruto?"
I nodded again while Gaara and I said our thanks and left for the car.
"See I told you it would be okay."
"Says the guy that had his ear on the door." I snickered.
"What? I was worried she would say something bad to you."
"No she was fine." I whispered.
"I didn't know you were interested in dance." Gaara smirked and I lightly blushed.
"Y-Yeah I kind of like it..."
Yeah you wouldnt think that Anko would be the princpal would you? Anyway im updating chapters i havent even updated on DA yet today
You guys are lucky. Anyway reveiw
