Naruto calmed down, and rubbed his eyes. He looked at Gaara as he talked, trying not to laugh at the Prince's seriousness. He blinked once Gaara questioned him, and realized what he had done, "Shit, did that slip out of my mouth?" He asked, a little too slyly, "oops. I guess I have to watch what I say from now on." He giggled and lay back down.

"Of course I know who it is, Kiba tells me everything. I still remember the nights Kiba would dance around the room, or hum little lullabies when he and that person met. He had it real bad for him, and vice verse," Naruto chuckled at the memories, "Kiba would tell me what he would be wearing, or what he said, or what he did whenever he would get back from his sneak out with him," Naruto tapped his chin, just then remembering what Gaara asked.

"Who was it? It was your brother, Kankuro. I met him once or twice, but not for more than a few seconds. He and Kiba would always sneak out at night, every night. Man, those where good times," Naruto suddenly stood up, sadness reached his eyes, and he stared at his lap, "... but, that didn't last long..."

XxGaaraloverxX
The redheaded prince blushed a bit from the clearly stifling laugh that Naruto was making. He must have thought of him being a very serious guy. It wasn't his fault that is how he was raised. He was raised to be a formal prince, serious all of the time and never joking. Although, slowly he is getting the hang of just relaxing and taking a joke every once and a while, especially with Naruto near him he would have to learn.

The smaller male grinned a bit once he caught onto what Naruto had said, and made him think twice about what came out of his mouth. He knew how to listen carefully, and made sure to latch onto every word.

Gaara listened into Naruto's tale of Kiba's lover. He couldn't help but to feel a gentle pang of happiness hit his heart while listening. Kiba seemed so happy. Dancing and prancing around the room, his heart full of love. It made it real interesting when Naruto slipped out a "him" instead of a her. This eased the prince's heart slightly, knowing that there still was a chance that his brother could be a contestant for Kiba's love. "Aww, my… How wonderful. He seemed so very happy." Gaara said softly, still remembering the light blush that Kiba gave out when asking about his brother earlier.

When his other question was answered, Gaara's eyes widened and he gazed over at the blonde, shocked. "Nii-san?" Gaara's inner person cheered for joy when Naruto said that. "I knew it…" He thought, as he gave out a gentle smile. This was why Kankuro sent him off wanting him to be happy with the one that he loves. Because his older brother didn't have the courage to do it himself, he wished for Gaara to do it for him. The prince cleared his throat; he already knows what happened between the two. Kiba told him, himself.

"I know what happened between them… It is heartbreaking to know that my brother has shoved that man out of his life…" He watched carefully as Naruto got up a layer of sadness covering over those bright blue eyes. Gaara got up with him, standing alongside him. "It pains me to hear how happy Kiba was before and now… He doesn't seem so happy anymore." It was easy to tell that there was something on the brunettes mind. Even more-so that his lovers younger brother is here. It must bring back memories. "Although, I do not plan to leave this empty-handed. For Kiba's sake, I will be heading back to the castle tonight, again, to have a word with my older brother…" the prince said softly and angrily towards the end. There was no way he was going to let Kiba's heart be ripped to shreds like that. Not if the prince of Suna had anything to say about it.

Naruto stared at Gaara as he talked. He's face blank, and him non-moving. Thinking hard at what the redhead was saying. When he was done, the corners of Naruto's lips twitched up, and he let out a soft chuckled, "I used to be like that," he said, mostly to himself, "I made the same promise that I'd get him and Kankuro back together. It never happened, Kiba never let me,"

Naruto stood up. He put his hands on Gaara's shoulders, and stared him straight in the eyes, "Gaara," he said, ditching his nickname for a moment, "please, try to convince your brother to see Kiba again. You really should have heard all the talking I had to do to get him out of the house when it happened. Hell, all the talking I had to do to get him here," Naruto let go, and took a small step back, "Kiba deserves a happy romance. With Kankuro. So, try your best. Take Kiba with you, if you want. It might be good."

XxGaaraloverxX
The prince was taken aback by the chuckle and tilted his head. He has made a promise to Kiba to get him and Kankuro back together? It seemed that Kiba didn't wish to burden others with his sadness and heartache so he simply let it go. He even told Naruto not to do it.

Gaara was even more shocked when he found Naruto's hands on his shoulders, and for once calling him by his name instead of any of the nicknames that the blonde has given him. He was being serious. "I will, Naruto-kun. There is no need to worry about that. Kankuro will definitely get a harsh tongue-lashing when I am through with him. When I am done, he will be running back into Kiba's arms again, I can assure you that." He will make sure that his brother will regret breaking Kiba's heart, and take him back.

The prince smiled and nodded at Naruto, knowing that this man does deserve happiness. But that smile faltered a bit when the blonde claimed to take Kiba with him, remembering what he told him at the barn. "You are right, Naruto. I even offered it to him as payment for helping to repair the wagon. I was going to sneak him back into the castle, since I know a way to get in unseen. I could see a happy look in his face when I told him that he could see Kankuro again, but to my surprise he refused." Now, Gaara was thinking of merely tying up Kiba and throwing him onto Shukaku's back as they rode into the castle grounds to see his brother. It just seemed that Kiba was a bit stubborn, and would need some convincing. The prince was not going to sit back and watch one of his newest friends have their heart broken.

"I would gladly take him with me, because I have already decided to go to the castle grounds tonight. If Kiba truly wishes to see Kankuro once more, I will be more than happy to take him with me." Now the prince was confident, and will stop at nothing to get him and Kankuro back together, even if it is against their will. "I know that Kiba is a bit nervous talking to me because I am kin to my brother, but whenever you get a chance tell him to meet me at Lee's barn tonight. I plan to take Shukaku for a faster ride through the forest to get there."

Naruto listened carefully to Gaara's words and smiling widely when he was done. He scooped the redhead in a hug, and spun him around playfully, "Thank you, redhead! You fabulous creature, you! I can't wait to see the happy look once again on Kiba's face! I would kiss you, but I think that's bushy-brows job."

He laughed and sat Gaara back down. Naruto rubbed the back of his head, and giggled uncontrollable. Like a little school girl who just saw her crush looking at her. He finally stopped giggling, and sat back down on the couch, "Gee, it'll be awesome to see Kiba happy again."

Speak of the devil. There's Kiba right now. With Lee. Kiba was carrying three wheels, while Lee was carrying five. The dog lover kicked the door open, and quickly sat the wheels down, stretching and sighed loudly, "Dang, Lee. How do you carry so many wheels at once?"

Lee also sat his wheels down, and shrugged, "I'm strong," he simply said, and looked over at the duo in the room, "have fun while we were gone?"

XxGaaraloverxX
Aquatic eyes widened with shock when his entire body was lifted and spun around in a circle, from a hug. It made him a bit dizzy, but very happy to hear Naruto's excitement. As he was sat down from the dizzying spin, he giggled alongside the blonde, "heh~ Yeah, I would like to see you try that, Naruto-kun. Lee would kill you for that~." He said jokingly, it was nice to spread some humor once in a while.

The prince smiled when the front door opened to reveal Kiba and Lee carrying in eight wheels. That was perfect, just in case they needed extra's if on the journey some of them splintered or broke. They would be perfect replacements. What made the young redhead do a double take was when he saw his Lee with his sleeves pulled back, showing off those muscles, from carrying the wheels. He knew that they were very heavy, not only that but big as well. He carried them like they were nothing. Lee is very strong.

A deep red blush spread over the prince's face as he watched his love place them down and dust himself off a bit, looking up at him and Naruto. "Uh-um…" He was speechless at first, too focused on the fact that his man had muscles. If only he could get a peek at him topless… Suddenly, he blinked and shook his head trying to clear his thoughts, "U-Uh, y-yeah." He cleared his throat and walked up to Lee, smiling up at him "We just had a nice talk, is all."

JapanEmoGirl
Lee blinked at Gaara, confused on why he was stuttering. He flung his gaze over at Naruto, giving him a death threatening look, "Did you do anything?" It was more of a demand, then a question.

Naruto put his hands over his head, and shuttered, "I-I didn't do anything, bushy-brows!" He yelled out, "H-He was fine a minute ago, then you guys came in, and- hold on a minute," he stopped and looked at the blushing Prince staring at Lee's bare arms. A grin smacked him across the face, and he did a weird, fox like chuckle, "Oh~ redhead. I see how it is."

Kiba seemed too caught on, and copied Naruto's grin. Both males put an arm around each other, and the teasing began, "Gaara-sama has his eyes on the prize, eh?"

"The craves for the babes."

"He's hassle'in for the masculine."

Lee was even more confused, now, "What?" He slowly said. Naruto and Kiba just busted out laughing.

XxGaaraloverxX
Gaara's gaze darted to the ground in shyness, but sprung back up when Lee demanded Naruto to answer his question, thinking that Naruto did something. That blonde was always getting blamed, but it was understandable. He was the teaser of the group, and Lee couldn't bear to let the prince take the blame for anything.

Those aquatic eyes caught onto the bright blue's that belonged to Naruto, and he blushed further as he was examined. Knowing him, he will catch on in a second.

There was no surprise there, as not only Naruto, but Kiba also got in on teasing the redheaded prince. Now there were two of them he had to deal with. Kiba spoke first which made his eyes widen slightly, and raise a hand to his burning cheek. Then they both were in on the catchy rhymes that spewed out towards the prince and what he was going after.

With every one that attacked at the defenseless prince, Gaara's blush reddened, spreading over his ears and neck. The redhead turned around, his back facing the two teasers, and covered his beat red face with his hands, trying to pry his mind away from the fact that they were right. Gaara just couldn't help himself. Those muscles were to die for.

What made it worse was the fact that Lee seemed clueless, still showing off his buff biceps, and not giving the poor prince a break from the eye candy that was still shown in front of him. He felt so embarrassed that Naruto and Kiba caught onto his little run-in with those sexy pecks. At least Lee didn't know, the last thing that he wanted him to think of the prince as a pervert. Gaara himself was muscle-less. He had a petite frame, but had nothing considered masculine on his body, except for his nether regions. He simply couldn't help but have his eyes wonder.

Naruto and Kiba gave out a few more teasing laughers, when Naruto stopped all of a sudden. He just remembered what he and Gaara were talking about before all this, and started to drag Kiba out the back door, "Come on, Kiba. I gotta tell you something."

Kiba, who was now the curious one, willingly followed Naruto, leaving Lee and Gaara in the room. Lee scratched his head, and looked at Gaara, "I have no idea what that was about, but I have a feeling it was something that I wasn't here for," he shrugged. Lee smiled down at his love, and kissed him quickly, pulling away in a teasing matter. Seeing his Gaara all red made him want to cuddle him for a moment.

He grabbed most the wheels, threw them on a back and arms, and quickly getting to the back. Kiba came in and picked up the other wheels, making sure to teasingly flex for Gaara. He laughed, then grew serious, "So, you need to see me later by the barn? Can do. I'll be there an hour into the night," he smiled and walked with Gaara outside, "Naruto wouldn't tell me why, though. Can you?"

XxGaaraloverxX
The young prince thought that he would pass out from all of the blood rushing to his face for the blush. To his luck, they both stopped when Naruto seemed to have a thought, and pulled Kiba to the back door to talk outside for a moment.

The redhead sighed, trying to die down his major blush that he had on his face, looking up at Lee when he received a gentle kiss, which in-turn, made him blush once more. "Heh, a-actually, you could say that it was for something that you 'were' here for, Lee-kun~." He said softly, as he reached up to rub his hands on either of Lee's arms and feel out the hard muscles, massaging them, before pulling down his sleeves before Gaara had anymore breakdowns.

He turned to the sound of the two coming in and taking the wheels outside, grinning and slanting his eyes at the gesture that Kiba made at him and shaking his head. Those two will be the death of him, written on his tomb will be 'death by blushing.'" "Yes, thank you Kiba, I will be waiting for you." He said to him as they both walked outside. "heh~ after teasing me like that, I am afraid that your punishment will be the fact that I will not tell you~." The prince of Suna could do a bit of teasing himself. "You will have to find out when you get here tonight~."

JapanEmoGirl
Kiba dropped the wheels a little too dramatically. He rested the back of his hand on his forehead in a swooning position, and gasped, "Oh, Gaara-sama," he melodramatically said, "why must you be so cruel? You know you liked seeing them."

Kiba stood up straight, and leaned in close, smirking, "Those hot, sweaty muscles, all exposed. Just imagine him shirtless, he probably has a nice, toned eight pack. Oh, he's been training for years, so he might have a handsome tan," he playfully shivered, "just thinking about it makes me hot~."

Kiba decided that was enough, and laughed, walking off and joining the other guys near the wagon. It's what he gets for not telling Kiba why he had to meet him. Naruto pouted, "Why does Kiba get to be close to redhead, and not me?"

Lee shrugged, and smirked, "Because you're you."

Naruto's pout deepened, "You just love to blame me, huh?" Of course, he didn't mean it.

XxGaaraloverxX
Gaara almost laughed at the overly dramatic Kiba standing in front of him. He is a good actor, he will give him that. There it was again, Kiba had him blushing once more just by saying the truth. Of course he liked seeing them; it was hard not to smile when around the dramatic male. "K-Kiba-san~… Shhh, don't tell Lee-kun…" He jokingly said in a whisper, darting his gaze over at the tall raven-haired male as they spoke.

What made the prince's blush worse is when Kiba leaned in and began the teasing once more. Gaara's eyes widened, as he only imagined exactly what Kiba spoke to him, every word. His eyes darted to the ground, and a deep red blush spread across his face and neck as he imagined those 'hot sweaty muscles, all exposed' as Kiba had said. He imagined his Lee shirtless, and he didn't doubt for a second that he had a hidden eight-pack hidden underneath, along with a handsome tan from working out in the sun.

The young prince started to quiver, getting a bit hot under the collar, and he hoped that he didn't develop a 'problem' from below. That would be extremely embarrassing if he had to excuse himself to use the bathroom to take care of his 'issue.' Oh, how Gaara will have his revenge tonight. He knows Kiba's weakness, and will be more than happy to literally shove him into Kankuro when they see each other tonight. The tables will turn soon~… Gaara watched as Kiba walked away, happy with the damage that he has stained onto the poor prince.

JapanEmoGirl
As they began working again, Naruto whispered to Kiba, "Man, what did you say to redhead?"

Kiba smirked and hid a laugh, "Just help me with this," he whispered his plan in Naruto's ear, who copied his smirk and tried to laugh under his breath.

After about ten minutes of working, Naruto stood up and slipped his shirt off, revealing a toned stomach, and buffed pecks. He stretched his arms, and yawned, "Man, it's hot. That shirt was killing me."

Naruto winked at Kiba, who smirked and also stood up, taking his own shirt off, "Yeah, you're right." He agreed, setting his hands on his hips. Kiba wasn't as buff as Naruto, but you can tell there was muscle there. Now, everyone knew his dark skin was not a tan.

Lee raised an eyebrow, and sighed, "It is a bit hot," he agreed and stood up, also pulling his shirt over his head and threw it with the rest. He didn't have that eight pack that Kiba said he did, but he did have a six pack. He had muscles all over, and a nice, even tan. It definitely proved that Lee had been working hard with his training. After that, all three males went back to work, two of them snickering and stealing glances at Gaara.

XxGaaraloverxX
In order to try and cool himself down from getting a bit too 'excited', Gaara went inside to the sink to splash cool water on his face. Kiba's words really got to him, and now he was extremely curious to see his Lee shirtless. Although, he was trying not to let it bother him too much, since he didn't wish to come off as a pervert. He knew that Lee probably wouldn't find that attractive, but it was hard not to imagine.

Once he thought the traitorous blush was gone from his face, he made himself a glass of water to take outside. The prince walked outside and past the three men who were working on the finishing touches on the wagon, and to the pasture fence to lean against. He was going to wait if they needed anymore help, and assist them if they did.

After a while of him simply looking at the scenery of his horse grazing in the pasture, he looked back just in time to notice Naruto take his shirt off. He was lean and fit, but Gaara just glanced back at his horse, seemingly unfazed.

Then Kiba spoke and brought the attention of the prince back on the trio. He took his shirt off as well, and Gaara noticed his skin was a bit darker and it didn't seem tan. Although, he was not as muscular as Naruto was. Still, Gaara was unfazed, but this time he kept his eyes on the three working men, slowly revealing themselves one-by-one. Now if only number three would take his off too, that is what the young prince was waiting for.

Then the prince's fantasy became a reality when he saw Lee claim that it was a bit 'hot' and take his shirt off to help cool down. Gaara has never seen anything like it in his life. He paused; perhaps even stopping his breathing for what was visible in front of him.

Never has the young redhead seen another man topless before, except for his own brother, but that was normal sometimes when he would work in the stables or try and work out in general. But this, this was much different.

Gaara's body quivered as he stared at Lee indefinitely. Eyes wide, and breath caught in his throat, he was handsome as hell, not to mention the rush of blood heading towards his face, and below as well. Oh, how he could imagine himself running his fingers over those abs, feeling them flex beneath his fingertips. His own body pressed up against Lee's, completely breathless, as he would be cradled gently in his strong grasp. And that tan… He has only heard of these men in fairytales. Yet, here he is, right in the flesh, and best of all, he belongs to the prince.

The young redhead felt his palms getting sweaty, and didn't even notice at all the drink in his hand, the water swishing around from his shaking. What brought the princes attention back to earth was when the glass slipped from his grasp and hit the grassy ground. Luckily, it didn't break, but it made the prince look down at what he dropped, and made him gasp.

Gaara's eyes widened horribly, as he gasped again, and blushed even further, his face a tomato red. Quickly, he covered himself from his 'problem' and rushed inside of the house, trying his best not to be seen by Lee, mostly. "shitshitshitshitshit!" he thought with panic, as he ran inside the house and to Lee's bathroom.

Turning the water on, he prayed that it was on cold and splashed his heated face with the water. He couldn't believe himself! Getting hard over just the look of Lee topless! He just hoped that Lee didn't see him, he was already embarrassed enough.

JapanEmoGirl
Lee, like Gaara hoped, did not see him run into the house, but continued working on the wheels. Kiba and Naruto, however, were trying their best to not laugh as loud as they could. They were so evil, they both decided. Poor Gaara. Lee looked up at the laughing duo, and gave, what felt like, the millionth confused look of the day, "What is so funny?" He asked.

Naruto and Kiba finally stopped laughing, and got back to work, "N-Nothing," Naruto stuttered, bravely. He will always tease Gaara about this. Whenever he gets the chance.

Finally, after an hour or two of working, the wheels were put in place. Lee threw the extra wheels in the back, and clapped his hands together. Done. He grabbed his shirt, and pulled it on, sense it was getting dark and chilly. He walked in the house, Naruto and Kiba following his example, "Well, it's been fun, but I gotta bounce," Naruto yawned, "I'm way too tired to stay and chat."

"Yeah, me too," Kiba rubbed his eyes, "see ya, Lee."

Said raven haired male waved at his leaving friends, and shut the door behind them. He then collapsed on the couch, "Boy, what a day," he groaned and rubbed the back of his neck.

XxGaaraloverxX
To the prince's luck, the water seemed to have cooled him off. He wouldn't know how to explain himself being in the bathroom for an extended period of time and with him moaning behind it. The last thing that he wanted to do was to jerk off in Lee's bathroom, thinking about him. He would have to teach those guys a lesson. He knows that Naruto and Kiba were in on this and practically making Lee take his shirt off right in front of him. If only Lee knew how he tortures him. The redhead knows that if Lee does this on a regular basis, he won't be able to contain it for long.

With a dreaded sigh, the prince made his way into the living room. His hair was soaked and he was cold, but it was better than being hot and horny thinking about the shirtless-hotie outside. He knows that he can't go out there; it is too dangerous with him at this state. He will be unable to contain himself. So he just busied himself by picking up a book off of the nearest bookshelf and reading something. Not thinking about Lee will help die down his 'problem' so he won't be tempted to grab the older male and push him into the nearest closet and make the older male take him as he is.

After about an hour or two reading this boring book, he heard the back door open. He was around half-way finished with it, and it has definitely cleared his mind of any perverted thoughts from earlier. Gaara got up and put the book away, and watched as Kiba and Naruto were getting ready to leave for the night, but planning on Kiba to come back of course for their nightly run to the castle. "Alright, thank you very much for helping fix Lee's wagon, Naruto-kun and Kiba-san." The prince was putting away the evil thoughts of him taking his revenge on them for giving him the most embarrassing moment of his life, and decided to thank them for their hard work.

The prince looked over at Lee as he sighed and collapsed on the couch. He understands that poor Lee was working hard on that wagon, and even saw him rub at his neck and shoulders a bit. "Does your neck and shoulders hurt? Would you like me to massage them?" The redhead asked, already reaching a hand to his stiff shoulder and working out the knots.

JapanEmoGirl
"Oh, no that's okay-" Lee stopped talking when he felt Gaara's fingers dig into his sore shoulders. He let out a moan of satisfaction, and leaned into the touch, "never mind. Keep doing what you're doing."

He closed his eyes, and started to relax more, and daydream. They just finished the wagon, but it was too late to go and run off. They'll have to do it tomorrow. That didn't bother Lee, so long as he had his love, he's fine, "Gaara-kun, have you always been this good with your hands?" He asked without thinking.

As Gaara hit a tense area, Lee twitched slightly, and his hands shot up a few inches from his lap, "ow..." he groaned under his breath. He relaxed quickly after, as the sudden pain left as quickly as it came. He smiled and sighed, "You'll have to do this more often~."

XxGaaraloverxX
Poor Lee, he really did have a lot of kinks and knots locked into those sore muscles. It seemed to be the first time he has ever received a massage of any kind. Just by the feel of it, Gaara could tell that he has been working hard, and using his shoulders and upper back a bit too much. After this in order to help fully relax his muscles he would need a nice hot bath to ease it.

The young redhead smiled when Lee gave into his touch, and slid his way behind Lee and curled his legs up, so Lee could have something to lean on. Gaara made sure that Lee's head was resting against his chest, and he continued to work on getting those tricky knots out, with both hands on each shoulder. He was easy on him, making sure to take his time on pressing his thumbs and fingers into the spots that were the least stressed before moving onto the harder and more painful knots that would take a bit more maneuvering to get lose.

It made him smile to see Lee so relaxed in his arms. He was glad to give Lee some relief, especially when it came to relaxing his sore body. The prince knew how to massage only because he has received them many times at the palace. He never really needed them, but it was a nice way to help him relax and think. Although, he would not trust just anyone with the job. There was only one person he would trust into touching him like that, and it was Ino. The woman was chatty, but she had very gentle hands. The prince was very fragile and needed someone to respect that. She, of course, loved to massage the prince of Suna, and he always thought that she had a crush on him. It would never work out though, not that Gaara didn't like her. She was more of a friend than anything else.

The redheaded prince blinked and paused for a moment, gently grasping onto those strong shoulders, and swallowed when Lee asked him that. The blood, once again flew south, as he only imagined using his hands to please his love in 'another way,' making a stunning blush flow onto his cheeks. He cleared his throat, and spoke "hehe… I have n-never b-been told th-that~…. B-But I w-would get massages at the p-palace f-frequently."

The prince faltered a bit from his train of thought, and pinched a nerve, making Lee jump and cry out a bit in pain. Gaara flinched and jerked his hands away for a moment, "I-I'm so sorry, Lee-kun…!" He said quickly, as he got to work massaging that nerve to keep it calm and forcing Lee's body to relax. The prince blushed further, and looked down at Lee happily, "Of course Lee-kun~… I will be more than happy. Just let me know whenever you need one."

Moving his hands around more and feeling through the strong muscles that defined out his shoulder, Gaara couldn't help but to have his mind wonder. His own hands touching Lee's skin was getting to his head a bit. He was so strong, and just feeling those hard muscles underneath of his fingertips were driving him crazy. After he pinched that nerve, he scavenged around to find anymore knots and kinks and was sure that he got most of them; right now he was simply enjoying himself by touching and feeling for himself what a strong man Lee was. His mind filled with fantasy thoughts of him and Lee between the sheets and him getting a real feel of those strong, masculine, muscles.

The prince's eyes were lidded, concentrating on nothing in particular. His lip was bitten between pearly white teeth, and his breath was shallow. He prayed to the heavens that he wouldn't have the same problem as before. This time he didn't know if he could control himself, he was already losing it, slowly. "Lee-kun…? I-I love you~…" He said softly as he leaned down and kissed Lee's left ear, taking a chance to rest his head on that same shoulder and slide his hands down Lee's chest; taking the fabulous moment to familiarize himself with the feel of those abs through the taller males shirt, before folding his arms over Lee's chest.
