Part 40
Gaara convinced Rue to leave her siblings with Sage. Then he took her back to Naruto's apartment.
While she showered, he prepared some rice balls for her.
After her shower she went to her things. Forgetting he was there she took off her towel. A surprised screech came from behind her and she turned to see Gaara in the kitchen.
Red faced and frozen.
Rue blushed darkly and mumbled an apology as she gathered a clean outfit. Picking up her towel she went back to the bathroom.
When she came back out they avoided eye contact and Gaara was rooted to his spot. Rue ate quietly and after she finished, she did the dishes. She also did the laundry that she had let pile up.
"Gaara?" She asked when she finished.
He didn't answer.
"Are you alright?"
Again no answer.
She stood in front of him and waved a hand in front of his face.
Nothing.
Time for drastic measures. Rue raised her shirt and exposed herself to him again. Then she pressed her exposed chest against him.
The suddenness of her actions jolted him. He jumped and looked at her as she lowered her shirt again.
"What the hell?!" He demanded.
"I'm sorry?"
"Rue, you flashed me and then you assault me and all you can say is you're sorry?"
"The assault was only to bring you back from the flash! Also you fucking screeched at seeing me naked on accident?"
"Sorry?"
She narrowed her eyes and shook her head.
"Gaara, do you know what has to happen now?"
"What...?"
"You need to flash me."
"Why? So you can screech at my body? No way."
"I may not screech. I may enjoy your scrawny, lightly muscled body."
Gaara's face went a bright red.
"No." He told her sternly.
"...Please? It's only fair." She said in a soft, sweet way while wrapping her arms around his neck and laying her head on his chest.
"Maybe another time." He caved and she smiled to herself victoriously.
Several hours later they were back in the hospital. Standing outside Naruto's room.
"Tell him Rue. They're like his siblings too."
"But..." Part of Rue didn't want to tell Naruto. She wanted the twins to be just hers. Over the years she'd come to share everything with Naruto. Her parents, her toys, her home, most of her secrets, and Gaara.
"Doesn't he deserve to know?"
"With that logic you'd also want me to discuss our connection and how I almost left him."
"You haven't talked to him very much lately have you?
"How can I? Most of the time he's away on a mission. And when he's not he's here or training to basically end up here." She said referring to the hospital. Her eyes were fixed on the floor.
"Rue..." Gaara trailed off and brought her close to him. He was awkward with his affection but Rue still thought it was sweet.
"Just start at the beginning and tell him everything. Don't worry okay? I'll be right next to you."
"Really?"
"Of course."
Rue nodded gratefully and they went into the room. Naruto was in bed looking impatient to leave the hospital.
There was a know in Rue's stomach as she told Naruto everything. The connection, wanting to return to Sun, Ias and Taryn, even her and Gaara's state of almost love. When she finished, she was afraid he'd react like she did when Katya had come clean.
