OKay i would like to apologize now for the long delay. For the most part it wasnt my fault. I was going to update everything on our dates me made up to update (i was going to update to 66 on christmas eve) but i had some problems. For some reason fanfiction was not encoding my document right and made the whole thing a giant mass of words. I was at it for 3 hours before i was forced to go toa christmas eve party.
And so I got deppressed with it becuase i couldnt think of solution and to put the icing on the cake i lost my flashdrive with all of the chapters! I know worst luck ever! And so then I didn't have anything other than the chapters my partner edited and the ones update on deciantart...by the way Lost and Found is updated to 71 (gaaras B-Day) just becuase of this technacle difficulty. Becuase i know, through my hunt of the problem if i copy and paste from another document onto a new one the spaceing gets fucked up and it doesnt work.
And so now this is where we are. I had a thought...when i copy from facebook directly nothing gets fucked up and is in this format (which i do think is annoying) and so i decided to try it...now. Because iw as scared it wouldnt work TT^TT
i hope you will forgive the incovienence. But if you watch me (most likely Toriny93 because she updates faster) then you can read lost and found before i update it on here.
Naruto
I kissed him back. I loved him, I love this…he is so sweet. I didn't even care that there were a bunch of girls and Hinata and even Shino around us while I kissed him I was so lost into the whole situation.
"I love y-you Gaara." I stuttered just a bit from me trying not to cry from being so…happy? Excited? Flabbergasted? Loved? How could I pick one word? And I'm a writer so I shouldn't of had been a loss for the words but I was.
I hugged him throwing my arms around his shoulders and burying my face in his neck to hide my blush. He just wrapped his arms around my waste and kissed the top of my head.
"Gaara…your so romantic." Hinata spoke finally making me realize the people around me and my blush deepened.
"I don't have to really try hard when I love him so much." He said a bit cheesily and I finally took out my face to wipe my eyes with my fist.
"Thank you." I whispered and Gaara grinned. I was saying thanks for pretty much two things. One for the promise ring but two, because he loves me enough to give me the promise ring knowing we would be together for a life time.
"Anything." He kissed my forehead and I grinned.
I saw Shikamaru and Choji standing by the snack table and rolled my eyes when I saw them smirking at the situation I was in. but I didn't care because really I loved Gaara and this situation wasn't embarrassing at all.
"So Gaara, how long did it take you to find that outfit that makes your butt look good?" Hinata smirked and Gaara looked away for a second.
"20 minuets." He said and I could tell he was lying.
"Liar." I said to him.
"You tell me and ill tell you."
"…3 hours. But I was a doll! She put a dress on me I told you Gaara she's evil!" I told him and pretty much acted childish and used him as a shield.
"But you look adorable." He spoke.
"She had this outfit in mind from the start…she just likes to torture me. Now tell me."
"an hour."
"Gaara…"
"Okay 2 hours. But Sai helped me." He said honestly and I kissed him.
"I'm glad we came…" I said honestly because of my doubts before, "Just watch out for Anko and Haku because Haku wanted to see you…he's my dance teacher." I warned him before I gave him another quick peck on the lips.
Gaara:
"Dance teacher? The one your always embarrassed to talk about?"
"I'm not embarrassed!" Naruto said as we sat down by some of his friends. "So you hung out with Sai?" Naruto asked shocked.
"Yeah I figured the gay annoying gits are the best at picking out outfits." I smiled.
Hinata came up to us then. "Me and Shino are gonna go dance." as she passed me she whispered "I'll see you on the dance floor."
"You heard that right?" I asked Naruto.
"She forgets I'm an anthro." Naruto said nodding.
"I guess, we should go dance then?"
"Sure."
The first song was fast, so Naruto and I just sort of bounced awkwardly to the beat. Hinata requested a slow song for her and Shino, so Naruto and I got closer and began to sway side to side.
"I have to admit, I thought this would be worse."
Naruto giggled but then cut himself off. "it just did."
"Huh?" I turned to see what he was staring at. A female came up to us and hugged Naruto.
"Gaara, meet Haku-sensei my dance teacher. Haku-sensei, this is my boyfriend Gaara,"
"Well aren't you lucky! He's a cutie!" she said... wait, didn't Naruto say his dance teacher was a boy... oh.
"Nice to meet you." I shook his hand
"What a gentleman!"
Naruto
"He seems like a gentlemen at times." I teased him and Gaara gave a quick grin, "Well I guess he is most of the time!"
"Of course, the best for you Naruto." Haku smiled, "Zabuza cant come till later though…" He whined and I looked at him shocked for a second.
"You…Zabuza sensei?" I mean…he was scary and it just seemed like a weird sort of awkward pairing. I mean he's big and looks like he could squash Haku like a bug!
"Yup! A year now! Haven't you noticed!" He smiled lovingly…a whole year? Wow.
"I guess I didn't…" I talked to him.
"How come your not dancing like I taught you to!" He lectured me and I sort of blushed.
"One, this is a slow song two your dances are really girly and three…highly inappropriate." I told him and he's eyes looked watery like he was going to cry from me lecturing him. Student more mature than teacher but I knew he was faking. He's a drama queen big time.
"Your so mean! Anko approved…"
"Anko is a pervert liking to know the love lives of each student there is." I told him then looked at Gaara to see him smirking slightly and I knew what he was thinking, "No."
"No what?" That smirk still on his face.
"No I wont do it…not here in public."
"But your going to make your teacher cry!"
"He's a drama queen to an extreme! More than you." I said and my cheeks turned pink.
"Come on Naruto please!" Haku pleaded, "I wont put you on the spot anymore!"
"Yeah you will…"
"But not so often." he corrected himself and I sighed.
"Naru…please." Gaara took my hand into his and kissed it above the promise ring. Way to make me do something for him that I didn't want to do since…the moves are really girly and you have to shake your hips and butt a lot. I think Haku likes those hip hop videos to much.
"F-Fine…" I stuttered waiting for a different song to come on.
10 minuets later I was still clutching onto Gaara's arm afraid to do anything while he pet my head to give me encouragement while he still tried to get me to dance…like he really wanted to see me.
"What about this one?" He asked and I just shook my head. 3 minuets later, "What about this one?" again I shook my head no, "Come on Naru please?"
"I-I am…just wait okay?" I spoke finally and Gaara just sighed.
"Come on I wanna see." He said in almost a whine.
"Just a sec-"
and then the song of all horrors came on. I know it by heart because it was the song that Haku made us dance to in the middle of class. I saw some of the people from my class go out and dance together not in since but using some of the moves to show off to there boyfriends. I looked up at the DJ and saw Haku smirking at me. He was a total meanie I swear it.
"What about this one?" Gaara asked me with confusion on his face, wondering why I was looking at all the girls in the room.
I let out a breath, "Fine."
I didn't have to look at his face to see that he was smiling wildly, "But, you gotta stand there next to me so it doesn't look like I'm alone and so I can cry in your chest if I do get outed out for dancing. Please?" I said softly and he just nodded and shrugged like it was no big deal. I dragged him back to the dance floor since we had sat down at a table for a second and I looked around his body to see Hinata looking confused. But I gave her one of my help me looks and she understood that I didn't want to be the only one so she took Shino by the hand and dragged him away from punch and to the floor.
The song didn't really matter all that did was that it was a song that I could hear the beat and rhythm and not really pay attention to my surroundings. Haku always says think about yourself and not what others think and do what you feel what is right. So that what I do normally until someone says I look cute or someone whistles.
I looked into Gaara's green eyes (which were easily seen in the dark not to mention I can see easily in the dark anyway) before I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a second to find a beat that was right. I started by swaying my hips slowly before I got the right rhythm. It didn't take long before I was moving my hands and arms along with my hips and finally my feet started to move.
I lost pretty much everyone in the room until I opened my eyes and saw Gaara staring at me. I gave him a quick grin as I got ready for the ending of the song. I twirled once so I could see if anyone was behind me (happy there wasn't) and then I did a back flip. Being successful! I know the most clumsiest person in the world had learned how to do a back flip in class!
I think I deserve an applause.
Gaara
I for one was speechless. I mean, I was Gonna say it was great no matter what, but that was so amazing. He was in fact, the most adorable thing moving right then. I started clapping along with half of the school. (half of the school was there) including Hinata who went up to him and gave him a hug while doing one of those girly screams.
Naruto blushed upon seeing me at the edge of the crowd (which had formed a circle around him.) and walked over one hand rubbing his elbow.
"Did you like it?"
"Like it? Are you crazy? I loved it. Not as much as I love you." I gave him a light peck on the cheek. He blushed.
We sat back down after getting some drinks.
"So what now?" I asked kind of getting bored.
"Gaara... is it just me or is it really loud in here? That's a stupid question, it is loud in here." his ears were flat down trying to keep the sound out of them. Now that he mentioned it I could only concentrate on the noise. "
"It's loud for me. So it must be really loud for you." I said, grabbing his hand and leading him outside.
It was cold out, so I wrapped my jacket around him. He smiled and leaned against the building.
"Are you ok?" I asked him.
"Yeah... I kinda have a headache." he said.
"Do you want to go? Like leave." I suggested.
"Well... are we gonna go home?"
I thought for a moment. "Well, are you hungry? I didn't eat, so I am. Maybe we should go out to dinner?"
"Sure." Naruto seemed to be in a better mood. But then he winced. "Some place quiet."
I nodded. He was still holding his punch. He'd drank a lot after he danced. He downed two glasses at the punch table before he took a third to sit down. He took a fourth on our way out. "I have just the place. Chinese food. No one goes there this late at night. it'll be empty at the buffet"
Naruto
The headache was bothering me but for some reason the punch made me feel better, maybe make me feel a bit weird but made me feel a bit better…almost a bit more happy than I was. Gaara actually liked my dancing. That defiantly made me happy. I was getting warmer seeing as how I Gaara's car didn't take long to heat up but I just snuggled into his jacket that I was still wearing.
I looked at Gaara and blushed, he really did look good. Better than good really. He looked handsome stunning and hott at the same time. If I didn't know he was a demon I swear he would be a god for being perfect…
"What?" He looked at me out of the corner of his eye.
"Nothing you should be worried about." I grumbled slightly and drank some more of my punch. It was almost gone. Darnn that sucks big time. The second batch tastes a little different than the first batch of punch they made. I don't know why it just did. I don't know if it technically tasted better or tasted worst all I know is that it helped my headache…maybe. Or maybe since there wasn't any loud sounds it was going bye bye.
"Naruto?" Gaara spoke and shook his hand in front of my face. My reaction was sort of slow though before I looked at him and said the first intelligent thing that came to my mind.
"Huh?"
"You okay your sort of out of it." He looked worried and I only shook my head no. I was perfectly fine!
"I'm fine Gaara~" I said to him and finally looked out the window. It was a restaurant. Gaara just sighed as he got out his side and came over to mine and opened it. I undid my seatbelt and downed the rest of my drink before Gaara grabbed my hand to help me out. I let him pull me out before I kissed his cheek softly.
"Come on. Lets eat I'm hungry and you seem to be hungry to…I think." He said to himself before I started walking with his hand hooked into my hand. I smiled softly at him before I tripped over my feet making the red head react and catch me before I hurt myself.
"Sorry." I said slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Just a little dizzy…I think it was from my head ache. Don't worry about it." I told him honestly causing him to continue bringing us to the buffet. Damn I was hungry…but for some reason I want Gaara….like soon. Maybe now. While Gaara got us in I started to play with the collar of his shirt between my fingers liking the feeling.
Gaara
"Hey, cut it out, were in public." I said, Naruto was acting really weird. Was he sick? He said he was fine. The waitress sat us down and ordered us drinks. I got some hot tea and Naruto ordered a coke. We then got up to get food. Naruto and I filled up our plates, then handed back to the table. We ate our fill, cracking crab legs for each other, and going to the guy who cooks the food for you.
Naruto sat back, holding his stomach. "You ok?" I asked.
"Yeah, I ate too much."
"Ok, I'm going to go get one more plate, than we can leave ok?"
"Ok, I'm going to the bathroom."
I left and came back, Naruto wasn't back yet, after a few minutes I got worried. I walked into the bathroom, only to hear the sound of someone puking.
"Naruto?" I asked,
"Hey Gaar- " he got cut off puking into the toilet of the second stall.
"Oh my gosh are you ok?" I said. He shook his head, his arms were all goose bumpy and he was shaking. "Come on, lets go home." I got some bags from the lady at the counter, and helped Naruto into the car. The cup was on the seat, I smelled it.
"Vodka." I said rolling my eyes. "How much of this did you drink? 4 glasses? That's around 6 - 8 shots of vodka depending on how much they threw in. Stupid teenagers." I mumbled.
He only puked once in the car, and he made it into the bag, he stumbled out of the car and began puking in the grass the minute we stopped though. There goes all the Chinese.
"What the hell do you two think your doing?" it was Marvin, the landlord.
"Sorry, we were just coming back from his school Christmas dance, but someone spiked the punch with vodka and he has a week stomach." I turned back to Naruto, who was passed out on the grass next to a puddle of vomit. "Can you help me get him upstairs?" I asked.
The two of us managed to drag his dead weight up the stairs and into the apartment door. We lay him on the bed, and me and Marvin walked into the kitchen.
"So if he sleeps on the bed, where-"
"With him, on the bed. Want something to drink?" I asked.
"Uh.. sure what do you have?" I started listing everything. "Whoa whoa, I'll have some coffee if you don't mind, but where do you get the money for all this stuff?"
"Well, I came from a rich family so I had a sum saved up. Currently I have a job with an old friend of mine, who runs a tattoo business. I'm quite the artist so, I really don't mind. But if I ever find myself in a bind, like I said rich family."
"And it goes to school?" he asked. I closed my eyes. He's not trying to be rude Gaara ignore it.
"Yes HE does." I said stressing the word he but not too much as to sound rude. "and next year, I'm paying his way into a college."
"Really? Which one?"
"Whatever one he wants." I said.
"Gaara..." came a small reply behind Marvin.
"Hey are you feeling ok?" I asked, moving over to him. He took a step forward and swayed a little.
"I'm kinda thirsty." he said, holding his throat.
"After all that vomiting I'm not surprised." I poured him a tall glass of milk and helped him sit down in the first open seat next to Marvin.
"Remember when I said... I hate drinking?" he asked me, kinda slow detached.
"I know I know sweetie, drink this." I said holding the milk.
"You're... so... nice to him." Marvin muttered. Not entirely in a bad way. Naruto looked up realizing the man was there just now.
"Oh... hey Melvin... I mean... Marvin... Melvin Marvin. Sound so alike..."
"It's Marvin."
"I knew that." Naruto said. Then he moaned and put his head on the table. "Gaara... am I ... drunk?"
"Just a little." I said.
"How come your not?" he whined
"I only had one glass of spiked punch Mr. I'm going to drink 4 glasses."
"I was thirsty!"
Naruto
"Yeah I know you were thirsty and after that performance."
"Gaara it was great. I even….felt good. The back flip was like I was…flying." I smiled to myself as I tried to not think of my throat and how it burned. I also tried not to think about the taste still lingering in my mouth just in case I might throw up again.
"And it was perfect." He smiled.
"What performance?" I heard Marvin say confused and curious but I could also hear that he felt uncomfortable with the distance between me and him.
"Naruto dances and he danced tonight." Gaara said bluntly. Even though my head was resting on the cool table the world still felt like it was spinning.
"And you liked it." I told Gaara
"Greatly." Gaara spoke and I grinned slightly at that.
"Sorry." I whined out slightly before I tried to drink the milk in front of me so that my throat wasn't so scratchy but while doing so I didn't want to drink to much to upset my stomach anymore. Then I rested my head back on the table in front of me pretty much squishing my face on it. Gaara looked at me confused.
"Sorry what."
"fwa Not weeing fo anghtign."
"Naruto you got to move your mouth away from the table for me to understand you.
I did as I was told and moved my head in the direction of Gaara…or I thought it was Gaara.
"For not being…able to do anything to make…you happy like this yesterday morning." I opened my eyes and it took a moment for my eyes to get unblurred to see that I was facing Marvin. I blushed slightly but just turned my head to look at Gaara instead.
"You don't have to be sorry about that."
"but if w-we even did…id smell like puke." I said a bit softly then looked back at Marvin. "Melvin…"
"Marvin."
"Yeah…Marvin. How come you…hate me so much. I'm just…as much human as animal. In fact, I'm more human than most of…the humans out there who treat anthros and nekos as slaves or even filthy animals. Or I'm more human than the people that abuse us because were different." I asaid without even thinking. I sat back up and drank a bit more milk before my stomach turned and I knew I was going to throw up.
"F-Fuck…" I swore as I got up bit dizzy from the chair and hurried to the bathroom to not mess up the floor. This was not fun.
Gaara
"I'll be right back." I said. I walked to the bathroom to make sure he was alright. I came and sat him back down at the table. Bringing this time the trashcan and placing it next to him.
"Th-thanks." Naruto stuttered wiping his mouth. I pet his head once.
"Listen... I um... I mean... I just." Marvin was obviously lost for words. "I mean, I guess you're... right." he winced at what he was saying almost like he hated to be wrong.
"Save it." I said. I wasn't looking at him. Just out the window. "He won't remember it when he wakes up. He's had at least six hits of vodka. I wouldn't even remember it when I woke if I had that much, and I'm a heavy weight drinker when I do."
Naruto looked confused between the two of us. Then he broke the silence by puking into the trash can. He hiccupped. "Um... Gaara?" he sounded like he was about to get in trouble. "I'm sorry... I missed." he said.
"It's ok. I got it. Why don't you take a bag and go lay down?" I asked. He nodded, washing his mouth in the sink, and grabbing a bag from under the counter. He kissed me, a quick peck on the cheeks. And headed off to our room to lay down.
"I... um." he put his hand back to scratch his head. "I hopes he'll be ok?"
"Yeah. I'll just um... he'll probably sleep his hangover off till noon. I won't be waking him up."
"Well, you look tired, um. Thanx for the coffee."
"No problem." I said.
"Night." he said.
"Night."
He left. I cleaned up Naruto's vomit, and went to lay down. It had been a long night, but Naruto, in his drunk state, was kinda loopy.
Naruto
How did I get in bed? Oh yeah! I walked in here! I mean…I puked and I felt sick so…I came in here. But I didn't feel that sick anymore. I think I puked everything out in my system…maybe. But I don't want to think about it or move to much because if I do I might actually vomit again and I hate doing that. Seriously who liked doing that. I could maybe hear Gaara still in the kitchen with that Melvin guy…wait its Marvin. So I rolled around on the bed a few times because I thought that if I stayed in one place I would get some cramps or something…
I rolled side to side until I was by Gaara's pillow. I clutched it tightly until I heard that one guy leave and then I think Gaara cleaned up. I'm sorry about that…I just missed! And then I knew he was coming back so I put the pillow back and rolled back to my side to pretend I was asleep. But for some reason that was extremely hard since I started giggling. Gaara didn't think of anything of it though and laid down not changing into pajamas. Not to mention…I haven't either.
"Naruto?"
"H-H-Hm?" I couldn't even say that without laughing a bit.
"How you feeling?"
"I-if your trying to ask me do I feel like I might throw up…not in awhile. I think…maybe."
"Why are you laughing then?"
"I do not know Gaara-sama!" I turned over so that I was facing him and so my back wasn't.
"Gaara sama?"
"Yes Gaara-sama." I smiled slightly.
"Naruto we should get some sleep."
"I'm not…tired." I yawned out but covered my mouth in case I would throw up.
"Yeah you are. And I think your going to have a rough morning so your going to have to have a lot of sleep."
"Because of a hangover?"
"Correct."
"I saw the hangover. It was a funny movie."
"Yeah?" He smiled probably just going on about my banter but I didn't care.
"Uh huh. Like how when that guy had been in the trunk naked." I said to him and he just chuckled slightly seeing how my eyes were drooping.
'Yeah I know that." Gaara cupped my face with is palm and I moved into the feeling. His hand was warm, "Naruto you should change into at least PJ pants. I know I need to get out of skinny jeans." He told me but nothing really focused in my head for a minute then I whined.
"Can you undress me? And…dress me?" I asked him innocently but then started to giggle, then is started to laugh harder till I was clutching my stomach. The red head just said a sure before he changed into his own clothes I see he didn't wear a shirt. He got me a pair of pajama pants before he came over to the bed.
He first took off the vest I had on then undid each button on the undershirt until I was shirtless. He slid on a pajama shirt then started to undo my pants before he took them off completely making me shiver then giggle as he slid on the loose sweats.
"Thank you Gaara!" I almost yelled as I moved to hug him around the neck, "But why am I wearing pants…I mean wearing a shirt?"
"So that your warm when you sleep tomorrow."
"Okay! That makes total sense!" I laughed as the red head slid into bed, pulling the cover over both of us.
"Don't forget where the bucket is okay? If you feel sick."
"I wont…I don't think I will." I smiled when Gaara kissed my forehead and turned us around so my back was against his chest and his arms went around my waste. I didn't fall asleep right away because I was playing with the collar of my pajama shirt…
