Gaara
"Maybe you can teach me what you learn hm?" I teased. Naru blushed and turned his head away, but I saw a small smile play at his lips from that thought. We got in my car once outside. I saw my blond looking much better with the relief of the interview off his shoulders. I knew he would be nervous again once it got closer to his startup date. After I turned the car on, and after going through the normal routine of opening my uke's door (which won't stop even when his cast is off) I snaked my hand across the gear shift to hold his hand.
I saw my blond smile at me in my peripheral vision, because I had my eyes on the road. It was around 1 clock when I decided to take Naruto out for lunch. He didn't ask me what I was doing when I pulled into the fancy restaurant, but I could see the question on his face. I kissed his hand before exiting the car, and walking around to his door, picking up his other hand and kissed it as well as he got out of the car.
"You're being really sweet today, G-Gaara." he commented as he studied the restaurant and blushing from the kisses on his hands. I loved to hear him stutter, it was so cute, but it's been happening less and less which means he feels comfortable around me. He only does it now when he is embarrassed.
"Well, I'm so proud of you, I told you you'd make it in!" I said, pulling him into a small kiss. Thankfully the parking lot was deserted at the moment, but Naruto pulled away after a few seconds blushing madly and looking all around like he just robbed a bank.
"D-Don't s-someone might S-see." he stuttered nervous again.
I led him inside and got a table for two, telling him he could order whatever he wanted. The waitress didn't seem to happy at this, but I did my best to ignore her, just concentrating on how cute my Naru looked with his blue eyes skimming hungrily over all the choices.
While we waited for the food, Naruto and I talked a bit, me reassuring him about his fears of going to school.
"Well, enough about my school." he said, trying to avoid the subject. "You'd mentioned a job?" Naru questioned, his ears perking in curiosity.
"Yeah, I know a guy." I said. He looked at me with more of a question in his expression. "The guy who gave me this." I tapped the red mark on my forehead.
Just then my phone rang. I held up a finger at Naruto so signal give me a minute, and he nodded his head, and just listened to my half of the conversation, but I bet he could pick up my sisters voice on the other line.
"So, what's the new place look like?" she bugged me.
"Really good, we are still missing a few essentials though, but I guess it's officially open for visitors, what do you say Naruto?" I asked. He seemed thrilled that I had asked his opinion, his ears perking up and he nodded enthusiastically. "Naruto agrees." I actually laughed into the phone. I told me sis I'd call her when we were done eating. As soon as I hung up, the food arrived.
Naruto and I picked off of each other plates though, trying to see what the other liked. It was so cute and cliché in my opinion, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Naruto
The food at this fancy restaurant was something I never tasted before. Maybe it's because I could never afford a place like this. McDonalds, now that's a place I can afford. But even so, I think Gaara's cooking is better, and I'm not just saying that because I love him.
Gaara seems to be thinking about working in a tattoo place, where he could design the tattoos. But in my opinion Gaara should be a cook. A chef. But I don't want to really influence anything, even if he's getting a job to support me and himself.
Gaara smiled as we began to make small talk. Every once in awhile Gaara would feed e or lightly lean over the table and peck me on the lips, causing me to blush and stutter because people were beginning to arrive in the restaurant. And all of them eventually staring at us.
I would guess the stairs could either be because I am an anthro or because we were gay.
Gaara again wiped some salad dressing off my cheek with a napkin then slightly kissed me. I blushed and moved away relatively fast, hearing all the people (mostly people in their 30's or older) whispering on how it's disgusting.
"St-Stop Gaara. Not that I don't like kissing you...but people are whispering." I stuttered, not looking at Gaara's eyes.
I heard my red head sigh a little softly. Out of curiosity I looked back up, seeing that Gaara had a small smirk on his face as he watched me. After a few seconds I finished my side salad as Gaara watched me a bit. That smirk still on his face.
I wanted to ask him what but then he did it. He started rubbing his foot against mine, causing me to blush. He grinned at my expression.
"G-Gaara w-what are you doing?" I stuttered and he chuckled.
"Footsie. I thought that was obvious. If you don't want to do anything over the table ill do it under."
After a few seconds I started to make the same motion with my foot as Gaara was making.
Gaara
After we ate I paid the waiter with my credit card, and Naruto and I headed home. I had Naruto call my sister from his new phone, while he sat on the passenger side. When we got home, he charged his new phone, and I relaxed until my sister came here. My room in this house was smaller than the current, so the book shelf I used for my CD's is in our living room. I don't plan on using it for my CD's though; they are currently in a box still. I plan on putting them in a CD book, and using the shelf as a drawing library for my tattoo job. The artist would jump for joy to have me designing his tattoos. We didn't have a couch yet, but a nice rug that we bought took up the space nicely.
I heard a knock at the door and a jiggle of the handle. "It's locked Temi. You have to knock and wait for me to open the door." I snickered, knowing she loved being able to get in my old room with a key weather I locked it or not.
"Let me in." she growled. I chuckled, and Naruto stood by me as I opened the door. "W-O-W" she pronounced each letter. "It's homey. I'd never expect such a thing for you bro. I can see Naruto isn't completely cramping your style though." She looked down at the welcome mat that facing her said go away. "Why's the shelf empty?" she asked being nosy. I told her my plans.
"A tattoo artist? Hm. fits you I guess. Naruto, what do you think." she asked. She had this couple theory where partners views count for everything.
" Gaara I love your drawings, but tattoo artist is kinda low job isn't it? I think you'd be a great cook though."
"I'm not that good a cook. Plus to be a chef you need to be certified. I don't have time for that. And cooking is more of a hobby. No I want my drawing talent to be recognized." I told Naruto. He seemed to take this in as my sister searched every nook and cranny of me and my boyfriend's new home.
Naruto
I thought on what Gaara said. And hopefully Gaara's talent would be recognized. He has so much talent and even if I'd be proud of him wherever he goes I would still want more people to see his work. Maybe the whole world really.
When Temari went and checked the apartment Gaara took me in his arms and kissed me.
I kissed back only to be cut short with Temari coming back in the room stopping the moment "can't you wait until you don't have someone else in your apartment?" She said sarcastically and Gaara rolled his eyes.
"Give us a break. We barely got to today because everyone was hating in the restaurant."
"Anyway I really like the place Gaara. Except, I notice your missing a major part of the living room."
"I know already. No need to point it out." Gaara turned me around so he was hugging me from behind, putting his arms around my waste.
"And you need to wire in your TV."
"I know Temari. But we have only been here a couple of days. And both days we were...busy. We will probably do it soon."
"Ok. Just be protected." she put on a sly smirk and my face turned into a red that I knew was Gaara's hair color.
"Geez Temari you have to make everything sound perverted. But please not in front of Naruto." He rubbed my side gently. Like he hasn't said anything perverted before to make me embarrassed. I almost wanted to roll my eyes and laugh.
Gaara
My sister took forever to leave. I didn't expect much different anyway. Naruto dozed on my bed, while I tried to set the TV up in our room. It took about 2 hours, and I lay next to my Naru when I was done.
"You done?" he mumbled, barely asleep seeing as he was only resting his eyes.
"Yeah, did you want to watch a movie?" I asked, kissing him softly on the neck.
"S-sure you can put one on." I got his drift without him having to say it. Instead of a comedy romance this time, and seeing as Naruto and I were utterly alone right now, I put on Disney, can't go wrong with this? It was as close as boy and boy love you can get with a children's cartoon. The fox and the hound. I hope Naruto didn't relate the hounds hunting the foxes to demands killing anthro's. Well too late it on. I kissed him on the head and snuggled in as the he tried to figure out the movie by the opening credits.
Naruto
I cuddled up together as I watched the opening credits. The thought on how it looks somewhat familiar came into my head. And then the title came out and I almost did a half smile half frown. Knowing what was supposed to happen at the beginning of the movie but also knowing that I have loved this movie for as long as I've known.
I remember watching this with my mom and dad when I was really young. I always liked how the fox and the hound interacted together. I thought it was cute and I still did. Its probably one of my favorite Disney movies. Yes I said one. I love Disney...even if some of the movies are a lot more childish. Okay all Disney movies are childish.
I Hid my head in Gaara's chest for the first 10 minutes of the movie, knowing the mother fox dies. I could never watch it when I was a kid...and in truth I haven't watched this movie since my mother and father died. It brought back some bad memories. I could notice Gaara's worried expression as he lightly rubbed my back.
"Sorry Naruto...I thought it was harmless. I guess I forgot about that part..."
"No its okay." I said as I turned my attention back to the screen, "I love this movie actually. I used to always watch it with my parents. It probably my most favorite Disney movies there are." I smiled as the movie got farther in and the hound met the fox. My mom always said Tod reminded her of me.
I snuggled more into my red head and he smiled.
"Love you Naru"
"Love you too..."
Gaara
"You Know Naru. They remind me of us. I mean, two friends not expected to be together. Like Romeo and Juliet, but a proper Disney version with best friends." I smiled, kissing him lightly. His attention seemed to flicker back and forth between my loving kisses to his exposed neck and the song "you're the best of friends".
The end of the song came by with the most famous line.
"Copper, you're my very best friend."
"Your mine too Tod."
"And we'll always be friends forever. Won't we?"
I paused the movie and flipped Naruto onto his back so I was laying on him and we can still watch the movie sideways.
"Right." I answered Tod's question to Naruto, kissing him full on the lips. His ears parted as he melted into the kiss, and I dragged my tongue over his lip, to deepen the kiss first chance I got. After a while of this, I turned the movie back on and snuggled into the bed so Naruto was between the TV and I, so I could rest my head on his chest and watch the movie. He propped his head up with a few pillows and I traced patterns in his stomach when I got bored. Happy to just be in this innocent bliss with my boyfriend.
Naruto
Gaara was tracing swirls around my belly button which caused me to shiver every once in awhile. I was half paying attention to one of my favorite movies and the red head, who seemed to not be paying attention at all to it but to me instead.
I lightly blushed when every once in while Gaara would lightly kiss my neck.
He gently switched from making slight circles on my stomach to rubbing my sides softly. I felt in peace. Just being close to Gaara.
To bad that in a bit, when the ending comes, I know I'm going to cry. But not just because the ending is so...good but because Gaara added the thought on how we are like the fox and the hound ourselves.
I brought my hand up and started to lightly comb my hand through his hair.
Gaara
Naruto's hand was so calming. I closed my eyes, listening to the movie. I concentrated on Naruto's hand in my hair. I felt bliss from this simple movement. I wish the moment would never stop. Naruto flinched at a gun shot in the movie. I looked up at him but he was already calm again. I smiled and kissed his neck, him still strumming my hair. I wanted to do more. How far along was it in our relationship? Too early maybe? I lay my head down thinking of all the stuff I want to do with Naruto, then I regretted it. I was getting hard.
"N~Naru?" I asked. Moving my legs away from his body.
"Hm?" he asked.
"I have to go to the bathroom." I whispered, "Be right back."
I mumbled a bit once the bathroom door was shut and I sat down getting comfortable as I unzipped my pants.
This just didn't work anymore, but I didn't want to rush Naruto.
Naruto
I brought my knees up when Gaara left for the bathroom, my tail gently resting over my ankles. Without him there I didn't have anything to occupy me while the movie kept going so I started to actually watch it.
I wasn't really paying attention to the time, because I was paying attention to the TV, but since I was alone it seemed like Gaara hadn't come back for 20 or 30 minutes. But I bet that was just my subconscious just playing with me.
"Sorry." He whispered when he slowly made it back to the bed. I just shrugged not really knowing what he was talking about. Lightly placing a kiss on his lips then snuggling into him.
I smiled and Gaara seemed to have a grin on his face as he lightly began to pet my tail.
It was a soft light motion but it still made me purr a begin blush. Trying to keep my attention at a half way point from the cute Disney film and my cute boyfriend who kept giving me light kisses on the top of my head.
Gaara
The end of the movie came quickly after that. He buried his head in my chest for most of the end. I turned the TV off and changed into something for bed. Naruto did the same, and we snuggled under the blankets. I set the bed next to the light switch so we could turn it off after we are lying down.
I kissed Naruto for a bit in the dark, and we both fell back panting for air, and fell asleep.
I yawned. Something woke me up. I looked at the alarm clock which wasn't set to go off today. I then looked around the room, it was dark in the room but some light was coming in. I saw a glow from the bedside table. I picked it up. It was my phone. It was from Deidara, the tattoo artist I knew who begged me to work for him. The text said:
"Hey about that job, I already have an apprentice, but I'll let you two work that out."
Does that mean I got the job?
"Great when can I start?"
"Today you can come in and I'll show you around, and you can start tomorrow."
I leaned over and kissed Naruto awake
Naruto
I lightly groaned into the kiss while Gaara rubbed my sides. He was trying to wake e up wasn't he? But why? Not that I'm complaining that I don't like him kissing me awake.
Gaara took his lips apart from mine and I slowly opened my eyes. Letting me see his green eyes while he smiled slightly.
"I got it." He smiled and lightly kissed me again.
"G-Got what?" I said a little groggily.
"I got the job. I'm going in today to look around then I'm gonna start tomorrow." My red head seemed excited about this and it made me smile.
"Congratulations" I pulled him into another morning kiss, rapping my arms around his head as we got pulled under the blankets. We kissed for an amount of time, him deepening it almost instantly.
"You're perfect Naruto." He said almost randomly that it made me giggle.
My red head smiled slightly as he brought me into a hug.
"Would you go with me? You know to check it out. So you can meet my boss and where I'll be working?"
I nodded, "You know I'll go with you. You really didn't have to ask." He smiled and kissed my forehead.
