Hey! There are exactly 7 days left till my exams start and here I am writing fanfictions. I will not post for 43 days or more since that's how long till my exams end. I hope you like this chapter, we are nearing the second wave of complication/drama and nearing the end as well.
On with the Story:
"I was going to call you.." Naruto murmured as they rode in the car, away from Suigetsu's house. "I had your number from Gaara, he came by yesterday..."
Sasuke's phone rang. He decided not to reply to Naruto, and see who was calling. Gaara. He had to pick it up. Pulling over to the side, he picked up the phone.
"Sasuke, I got a call from Kakashi. I don't think you should have left the hospital so soon..." The redhead sounded irritated instead of worried. He knew Sasuke could handle it, he just didn't want him to worsen his injuries.
"I know I know. I got Naruto." The raven sighed and changed the topic.
"You do? How did white hair react?" He asked, sounding surprised. He did not expect things to go this fast.
"He was cool as long as his pet sees my pet..." Sasuke mocked Suigetsu. He didn't like him, because he took his hero role.
"That's not so troublesome. I've bought Shukaku home not long ago." Gaara changed the subject; he didn't want Sasuke to get angry by making him remember the recent events at Suigetsu's house.
"Is he okay? What exactly did he injure?" Sasuke asked as he fiddled with the steering wheel.
"He broke his leg. I'm going to go now, Neji is here. He saw my tattoo." The last sentence came out almost as a whisper as he waited for Sasuke's response which was a small "oh" than he hang up. Sasuke knew this screwed everything up for the redhead. He was truly sorry.
"Bad news?" Naruto asked carefully not wanting to be nosy but wanted to say something, anything to make this ride more comfortable.
"Not that much... just drama." Sasuke rolled his eyes. He hated drama but it was bound to happen next to such a lovesick person like Gaara. Knowing the redhead couldn't help it, he did not judge and did not interfere. If his best friend needed him he would go and help him but as long as he can stay out of it he will. Not that he doesn't want to help it was just that he was scared to give advice and such because he didn't really know what to do in such an awkward situation.
"Are you mad at me?" Naruto wanted to mentally slap himself. What the hell? He was sounding like a wife who just burnt the dinner. He needed to play his role. A slave. Nothing more nothing less... wait you can't have anything less than that.
"No. It's fine." Sasuke said truthfully. He wasn't mad. He was just lost. did not know what to do with Naruto really. Should he treat him as a human? He was not sure. It felt like It would be wrong to treat Naruto differently but how could he possible treat him as a human when Naruto didn't know anything about how life is outside... well most things.
When they got back to the Uchiha mansion Sasuke put Naruto in a guest room and told him to feel free to call it his room from now on. Than left him. He went into his room and was thinking... Thinking about what to do with the blond next door to him.
Would it have been better to leave him there?
There was a knock on his door which answered his question.
"Sasuke I'm bored now! Let's do something!" Naruto skipped into the room without waiting for consent to come in. He felt like if he pretends to be his cheery self things will get better.
"I'm hungry" Sasuke stated as he eyed the blond's skin which was so thin you could count his bones in his arm.
"Let's feed you than." Naruto grinned and walked towards the kitchen with the raven following behind. Sasuke didn't like how the blond highlighted that he will not eat. The older boy had other plans for Naruto.
When they got to the kitchen Sasuke took a cinnamon roll out of a cupboard where they kept the pastry in a wooden container and put some icing sugar on it. He took two bites and than made a face.
"Is it bad?" Naruto asked. The other really looked like he had just bit on something sour.
"I'm not sure it taste... sort of weird." He stretched his arm out and put the roll close to Naruto for him to taste it and judge it.
Naruto took a bite without realising what Sasuke was really up to. "I think it's great!" He cheered with full mouth. It did taste really great and the sugar made him feel happier than usual. Sasuke took another bite.
"I still think it's weird. Maybe it's just me. I don't really like sweet things but I was too lazy to prepare something big." Sasuke made an excuse and handed the pastry to Naruto, who took it and slowly munched on it while Sasuke searched the cupboards for something else.
"Why don't you make yourself ramen?" Naruto grinned. There was a time when the blond only lived on ramen and nothing else when he lived in the warehouse.
"It's unhealthy." Sasuke cringed.
"Just give it a try and if you don't like it I promise I will eat that too." Naruto said in a dismissive way and when he wasn't looking Sasuke smirked mischievously.
"Fine." He said and prepared ramen enough for two people. Naruto ended up eating half of it.
Meanwhile, Gaara and Neji were sitting in Gaara's room with Shukaku on Neji's lap purring from the stroking he was receiving from the brunette.
"Sorry Neji." Gaara repeated for the 10th time now since Neji arrived and it was driving him crazy.
"Stop apologising Gaara I told you we can forget about it until things get serious." Did that mean things will definitely get serious? Was in love with him as much as Gaara was?
"Um.. Let's watch a movie." Gaara suggested. They needed something to focus on instead of this very embarrassing conversation. Neji agreed and they started to watch Guardians of the Galaxy which Gaara absolutely loved because of the raccoon character.
"That was intense! Some cool movie..." Neji praised as he kept pampering the raccoon on his lap.
"I loved it too." Gaara looked into Neji's eyes which had an intense look on him. The redhead decided that he quiet liked that look. The brunette stood up and gently put sleeping Shukaku in his bed and sat back next to Gaara again, sitting much closer than before so their thighs touched.
"I think me and Shukaku are friends now." Neji chuckled handsomely and Gaara's heart gave a double pump.
"That's what I observed earlier. I'm glad; I don't want him to want to rip you to pieces again." Gaara chuckled too and Neji put an arm around his shoulder.
"No one can hate me for too long." The long haired man smirked, causing Gaara to smile which was quiet rare. Neji couldn't help but think about Gaara's tattoo. It was his name. How can someone be so carried away to not realise what they are tattooing? It didn't work that way anyway, tattoo artists first put a guide on the skin to they know where to tattoo and than go over it with the actual ink. Did Gaara not do that? He was scared to ask, he didn't want to bring it up and make it awkward.
"Sure." was the redhead's reply as he put his head on Neji's chest feeling daring. Neji decided that he liked the closeness and lifted Gaara's chin softly to kiss the other. It was a needy kiss... one Gaara waited forever for and one Neji put his sexual frustration into.
It quickly turned rough and demanding as their tongues danced around fogging their minds with rosy pleasure. Neji laid Gaara on the bed without breaking the kiss and climbed on top of him while stroking Gaara's side who was gripping onto his long hair. As their tongues fought and their tastes became one solution of pure NejiGaara, their bodies pressed against each other stronger and harder. Neji started to feel something grow against his thigh and felt his own member twitch to life.
"Mhm..." Gaara moaned into the kiss as he wrapped his hands around Neji's neck so the kiss could be even deeper. The moan must have been a huge turn on for Neji because he wanted to hear more. How did Gaara know that? Well simply from the fact that Neji's right hand disappeared from his side and was now gripping and massaging the redhead's hard penis through jeans. And than Gaara was cumming.
He was oversensitive, as he has never been touched in such a way before. When his muscles relaxed and he came down from his high he realised they weren't kissing anymore. Gaara would have drowned in the kiss if Neji didn't stop, as the lack of oxygen was torturing his lungs right now even though he has been breathing throughout. He glanced up at Neji. Those beautiful lilac eyes held lust, love and need. Gaara blushed madly as the other let go of his now limp member and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"I will be right back." Neji whispered to him and walked to the bathroom. Gaara grinned like a child who just got candy from his mother. He stood up and looked for tissues to clean himself. He also changed underwear. Damn his sensitivity. This could have gone further. He was surprised how quickly this escalated. One minute they are talking, next minute their tongues are down each others' throats. Were they that needy? Gaara knew he was, and he could see that Neji was too.
The redhead was kind of glad it didn't go too far. But he wouldn't have minded giving the other a blow job. The idea excited him a lot.
Breaking Gaara's thought process, Neji came back with a satisfied expression, stopping near the redhead in the middle of the room.
"I wanted to take care of you." Gaara complained in a whisper looking up at Neji with a shy look.
"Sorry." The other stroked his cheek apologetically. "I didn't want to go too far yet and I thought if I don't leave right than I'll fuck you silly." And that was the truth. Neji has wanted Gaara since he confessed. It was harder and harder to keep his hands to himself.
"I wouldn't have let you." Gaara winked at him as Neji stepped closer to him so their toes touched.
"I still don't understand how you can manage to tattoo something unplanned on yourself." Neji couldn't help himself. He was speaking softly but the confusion was built in his voice.
Why did he have to bring it up? Gaara was angry now. An angry Gaara can be very dangerous. He stepped away from Neji. Why did he make things awkward when they were having such a good time? "I don't tattoo like a professional tattoo artist okay?" Gaara growled out waking poor Shukaku. "I don't have a thermal copier and I cannot afford one so I use my imagination!"
"What did you originally want to tattoo instead of my name? You must have had a plan." Neji still didn't understand and he couldn't help blurting his questions out. It was like Gaara was a slave and Neji owned him. Which was just wrong. Completely, utterly and totally wrong! Neji would never get a slave and he thought it should be punished to own a slave.
"I didn't have a plan and I wasn't concentrating at all. I didn't imagine what I wanted there, I knew I just wanted to practice and whatever it turned out to be no one would see ever! That was the original plan until you decided to stay for tea." Gaara growled a little hurt by Neji's curiosity as he did not want to talk about this.
"What do you mean I decided to stay? It was Shukaku who revealed it, don't go blaming me!" Now Neji was getting irritated. Was he not welcome here?
"Don't go blaming MY Shukaku, Neji!" Gaara growled with gritted teeth and low voice which kind of frightened the Hyuuga. Maybe he should leave.
"Sorry." Neji spat and turned around to walk out. "I'll call you when... whenever." With that, he left.
Shukaku whined. Gaara went and gave him some water than sat down next to him on the floor and stroked him. "Why does he have to overreact? Or was it me? Am I too obsessed? Where is Kankuro when you need him?" At the mention of Gaara's brother, Shukaku became restless and gave out excited raccoon noises. Gaara chuckled sadly. They both missed Kankuro.
Later on during the day Naruto was on the phone with Kiba.
"So are you feeling better now?" The brunette asked as he threw the ball for Akamaru.
"A bit yeah. It's a little weird. I can't find my place like I did when I first came here." Naruto admitted in a low voice not wanting Sasuke to hear.
"Is everything back to normal the way you wanted?"
"Back to normal? I don't think so." What was normal anyway? Nothing was ever normal. Things were just less painful sometimes.
