Naruto
Gaara had work today… Which I'm sort of happy about, and all though he had asked me to go with him I decided against it because I needed to think… or I was going to be screwed triple times over! I'm kind of surprised Gaara hasn't told me personally that his birthday is this Wednesday. Have no clue why… but you know what's worse? I don't know what to give him yet! And this sucks totally because now I feel like a horrible boyfriend.
I paced back and forth in our bedroom trying to think up possibilities… but everything I thought up wasn't good enough. I would love to take him out somewhere but I didn't have money. Sighing I took out my phone and called Temari's cell.
"Hello?" I didn't recognize the voice at first.
"Hello?" I said back.
"Naruto?"
"Shikamaru? What the hell are you doing with Temari's phone?" I asked shocked.
"She's in the bathroom. I came to help her study for an exam or something."
"Well…. okay I need to talk to her like right away."
"Wh-"
"Shika don't answer my phone!" Temari's whine came from inside the room before I heard a faint ow; like Shika got his head slapped and I chuckled. "Hello?"
"Hey Temari I need your help… for two things really I'm not joking!"
"What is it?" She asked worried.
"I don't know what to give Gaara for his birthday!" I complained.
"Porn."
"Not funny." I complained.
"How would I know when I didn't even know what to give him? I ended up getting him seat covers for his car." She complained. "What about sex?" She joked and I rolled my eyes.
"I'll figure something out alright? I also need…to bake a cake. Can I come over? I know I'll mess it up without somebody and if I did make it here Gaara would come home and smell it." I explained and she just said okay before we hung up.
That's when I sat on the edge of the bed and started to think… sex. I'm ready; I mean I think I'm ready. And I trust him entirely. Plus I have been having dreams lately from the stress on what I should get him. And I won't lie if I actually had that thought about my virginity being given to him. I love him enough… and it seems like the best thing I can do for him.
I blushed at the thought, actually giving myself to Gaara… and I am going to do it. Not back down, I hope. Get this virgin air away from me. I mean… I'm ready enough.
Now how to think about how to give him this birthday present…
Gaara
Work was booooooring. Sai was... well Sai. He was making out with his hand when I got there, but I was used to him doing something extremely abnormal almost all the time. Like when someone sneezes, he says "demons be gone" and not "bless you." I asked him about this once, he explained that when someone sneezes it means a demon is trying to enter your body, but your body pushes him out. So you have to say that to get the demon out of the room. I was too busy laughing at that than bother to correct him. Anyway, resisting the urge to ask Sai what he might be doing, I sat down and asked "Where's Dei-Dei?"
"In his office."
"Gaaaaara! I'm sure you're going to take to want to take Wednesday off right? "Deidara said. Of course my boss would look in my records and see what day my birthday falls on.
"Why?" Sai asked.
"Why because it's Gaara's birthday that day!"
"Uh sure I guess. I hadn't thought about it much..." maybe I could have Naruto stay home from school. I mean, they just got back from winter vacation, so he can't have that much homework.
"Tomorrow we should have a party!" Deidara said.
"Yeah!" Sai agreed. "I'll bring the booze!"
"No guys, really, that's Ok..."
"Seriously I can get weed too." Sai tempted.
"Fine but if you bring booze I won't drink it." I told them. They both looked at each other and then shrugged. I only had a few people today. I had to tattoo a unicorn on the top of a girl's tit.
"If I have to do one more 'I love mom' tattoo..." Sai said after his last costumer just left.
"What's the lamest tattoo you ever had to do huh?" I asked.
"Some bald wanted a ninja turtle headband tattooed around his eyes and stuff." I laughed. "Yours?"
"Um... I had to do a Pikachu once..."
"That sounds so wrong to someone who doesn't know what we are talking about."
"Shut up!"
"So you're turning 19?"
"Yeah." I said not really caring.
"You don't seem happy." I shrugged.
"It's just a birthday."
Naruto
"No that's too much." Temari yelled causing me to jump; Shikamaru was chuckling away at the table.
"S-Sorry…" I stuttered premeasuring the cup of water. We had gone to the store and got a cake package. Since there wasn't any cherry flavored we got vanilla. That was so we could use some cherry juice in the mix and put some on top of the cake. But knowing how horrible my baking skills are… I was messing up over and over again. So she got 7 cake boxes… we're on the 7th now. So this is my last try before I'm screwed over.
"It's okay." She sighed and I finally got the right measurements putting it in the bowl of powdered cake mix. Then she let me crack the eggs while she put them in the bowl and finally used vegetable oil.
We mixed it carefully enough before putting in some cherry juice and stirring it again.
"Naruto how much older is Gaara from you?" Temari asked curious.
"Well… I just turned 17 in October, but my birthday made me a senior in high school. And Gaara's turning 19 so… he's two years older." I told her my math and she nodded her head.
After we put the butter in the circular cake pans and then put them in the oven we occupied ourselves with playing go fish to past the time. "So… What was up with that Kiba kid when we saw him?" Temari asked to end awkward silence.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"What's your past with him?"
"Pretty simple actually. Best friend turned crush turned bastard since he was slightly homophobic. But really it was because I liked him." I sighed bored, "So he became a bully and beat me up occasionally. No big deal."
The awkward silence came back for vengeance before Shikamaru opened his mouth, "And so why did his sister freak out?"
"You know the reason so don't play you don't Shika… go fish Temari." I responded and he just muttered a troublesome, "Demons killed his dad, the same reason why we became friends in the first place actually. Since so were my parents." I mumbled mostly to myself, seeing Temari sort of squirm in her seat. I know she felt bad not that she needed to. A beep one the oven broke me out of thought as I went to go take the cake out… with oven mitts this time seeing as they were golden brown. We waited for them to cool before we frosted them and put an edge around it to make it look good. And then lastly we added cherries to it… well not lastly. They allowed me to write "Happy Birthday Gaara. Love Naruto" on it. It actually wasn't that hard to write it on there (surprisingly)
I smiled and yelled "Ta DA!"
"7th times the charm." Shikamaru mumbled and Temari slapped his arm lightly.
"Anyhow, can you keep it here? I don't want him finding out about it and could you possibly make sure Kankuro doesn't eat it?" I pleaded and she just nodded her head as I gave her a quick thank you and looked at the clock. "Crap…Temari can you drive me home? Gaara is supposed to finish work in like 20 minutes." I asked her and she just grabbed her keys (after she kissed Shikamaru's cheek and saying I'll be back) and we hopped inside her car.
Now… to think how to give him his present. I kind of want to make it a surprise and for it to not be as complex… now that I think about it I might just need a bow and cake. Oh…and do we need supplies? I mean Gaara already has everything we need…right? I'll have to check his fun bag when I get home.
Gaara
I yawned getting in the car. Fucking people wanting to celebrate fucking birthdays! I sighed. Home to Naruto. My mood lightened instantly. When I got home I was happy to see my lovable boyfriend. We cuddled on the couch until I had to make dinner.
Monday went by much the same, the only difference being I picked Naruto up from school and brought him back to work with me. Naruto was snacking on a fruit cup I bought him from the gas station I stopped at to fill my car up on my way back to work. Sai was making snide comments about how sexy Naruto looked sucking on a strawberry. I resisted punching him because Sai hits on everyone who was misfortunate enough to walk through that door. Man, woman, jerk, body builder, mother, married couples, people with kids, and people with no hair... everyone.
"How are you doing over there Naruto?" I asked.
"Good." He said happily swinging his tail a bit as he stabbed the plastic fork into another piece of fruit and smiled at me. Ignoring all of Sai's comments that I just knew he could hear. The next day went much the same, only Naruto fell asleep on the couch. Sai made a zillion and one comments about seducing Naruto, but on the one zillionth and two, I punched him in the face.
"Enough already! He has to deal with enough creeps everywhere else he goes, give it a rest! I don't want my place to be the only freaking area he feels comfortable in!"
"Jeez ok ok!" I felt bad when I had to wake Naruto up to bring him home. We pulled through the drive through of Wendy's on the way home since Naruto was tired and I didn't want to cook. I ordered a Jr. Bacon cheese burger and a chili, while Naruto got some chicken nuggets. God... tomorrow... I'll be 19... Should I tell Naruto?... Yeah I guess I should... He'll be wondering if people keep calling me... tomorrow... eh what's so special about another birthday anyway?
Naruto
we walked up to our apartment while I yawned again. I don't know why I'm tired… Okay maybe I do know. It's because I'm nervous as hell about tomorrow but also because I'm sort of scared that maybe I shouldn't do it… not because I don't want to because I really do want to but because Gaara still is hiding the fact that his birthday is tomorrow from me! Maybe he doesn't want me to know about it because he doesn't like birthdays… like me. But he made my birthday enjoyable again so I would think that I could possibly to the same with him.
"Hey, Naruto." Gaara said as I sat down lazily in the kitchen eating my chicken nuggets sort of fast so I could go to bed and rest for… tomorrow.
"Yeah?" I said while eating another chicken nugget.
"I… need to tell you something, okay?" He started and I looked at him tilting my head to the side. So now he was going to tell me? Wow.
"Uh huh?"
"Well… um, don't freak out because it's nothing important but my birthday is tomorrow." He said trying to give a lot of attention to his burger and chilly.
I just let out a breath, "Sorry but I've known about it for a while." I said leaning on the table while his eyes went wide with confusion.
"Wha… How?"
"Temari."
"Ah."
"But you seem like you don't want to make a big deal out of it… since you were keeping it from me. And I couldn't really think of anything but hanging with you tomorrow so…sorry." I lied to him and his breath began to be calm again. That was the end of that conversation and soon we were back in the bedroom cuddling under the blankets till we fell asleep… so how to do this? I could ask Gaara to the store for a special task tomorrow since he doesn't have work. Plus I need to take the cake out of the fridge (that I had stashed in there from this morning… he hadn't noticed) and get the room ready.
And so I woke up the next day wrapped in Gaara's arms. We slept in seeing as though Gaara called me in sick to skip the day with him. He kissed me awake and I melted into it smiling afterwards and saying a quick happy birthday, which in fact caused him to tickle my sides until I was gasping for air. Which caused him to laugh. Everything just was…perfect. So to not get caught with the cake I asked him to go buy some lunch from a fast food place or something (since it was in fact 3 yeah we slept that long) which he listened to my command allowing me to take a quick shower and get ready.
I mean there wasn't much to get ready about; I didn't have to get dressed. I got the cake from the fridge and brought it into the bedroom making sure I didn't drop it (because I would legit cry) and set it on the bedside table. Then I went into Gaara's bag of fun and got… some lube out of it and put hat also on the opposite table.
I blushed to myself as I heard the front door open… yes this is going to happen. I mean…I should of added a bow.
