Chap 4

During the twenty minute introduction class, Sabaku Gaara had lost all touch with reality. His gazed fixed on the teacher, but his mind was swirling with images, voices, and feelings. Naruto just proclaimed his "like" on Gaara, all while holding Uchiha Sasuke's hand. This angered the red-head. Were Naruto and Sasuke playing some kind of sick joke on him?

That's it! Gaara's eyes flashed crimson as he realized that all this time, Sasuke and Naruto were together and playing one year long prank on him. They must have realized he had started to grow feelings for the blonde boy and the Uchiha wasn't going to have it. The two schemed a way to get Naruto and Gaara just close enough that by summer he'd be completely in love with the loud-mouth jock, and then they'd rip it away from him, leaving on a trip over the summer. That's what happened. That's why the two are together, and they still plan on keeping this charade? Sabaku Gaara would NOT let them get away with this.

His mind made up on a way to destroy the couple beside him, Gaara stood as the teacher allowed them to leave early. His arms at his sides, fists clenched, Gaara turned his eyes to Naruto before he stated coldly, "I hate you."

Averting his gaze too slowly, Gaara caught what looked to be pain wash over Naruto's tanned face. His plump lips parted slightly and closed again when his bottom lip seemed to tremble for a second. Not wanting to hear what Naruto was going to say, just wanting to put this all behind him, Gaara grabbed his things and slipped out of the room.

Sasuke's heart stopped when Gaara said those words that dripped with malice. He knew that this would crush Naruto and it pained him to know this. He felt Naruto's hand leave his grasp seconds after Gaara spoke. He looked at his rival on his side, and his heart ached as the sorrow emitting from Naruto filled the air. He glanced back up at Gaara as the red-head dashed to the door.

Before he could say anything, a blur of yellow and orange zipped by, Naruto ordering him to stay put. Sitting back, Sasuke propped his elbow on the counter and rested his chin in his palm. 'This is going to be one lo~ng year,' he thought, almost pouting.

*~*~*~*~*

Naruto caught up to Gaara in seconds. It didn't seem that Gaara was trying to really run away, but just get away. "Gaara, stop!" Naruto pleaded at the man walking in front of him. The red-head refused to say a word. He couldn't stop, if he stopped and had to see that sad look on Naruto's face again, he knew that if he had the chance to go back in time and relive the years he's known Naruto, he would not change a thing, as long as Naruto was happy and smiling.

Pissed at being ignored, Naruto reached and grabbed Gaara's arm and pulled him to a stop. Gaara stood with his head down, arm pulled behind him in Naruto's grasp, he spoke with disgust, "What? What could you possibly have to say to me that isn't already a lie?"

Naruto's eyes widened at the accusation of lying to his best friend. "W-what are you talking about, Gaara?"

"Don't. Just don't say any more. You guys had your fun, you won. The plan was flawless. Now let me be!" he shouted, yanking his arm from Naruto's now loose grip, and began to walk away again.

The tall blonde stood there, stock still, trying to figure out what it was his best friend was saying. Plan? What plan had he been feeding Gaara? What lies was he speaking of? 'I've never lied to Gaara. And I never plan to! Dammit! He's getting away!'

Coming out of his thoughts, Naruto chased after Gaara once again. He found the red-head walking towards his car in the Senior Lot, and he took off at a high speed to catch Gaara before the boy was able to slip away without Naruto telling him the truth about everything.

Gaara was fishing out the car keys in one of his many pockets when a body slammed into him from behind, forcing him up against his car. A hot breath fluttered about his ear and neck, deep breaths were being taken, as if the body plastered to him had been running a long distance at a quick speed. Head glancing over his shoulder, pale blue eyes locking with bright blue, Gaara was not too surprised to see the object of his hate standing there with that stupid fox grin plastered on his face. 'It's not really stupid, it's alluring, sexy, and I just want to rip it off his face!'

Using as much strength he could muster, Gaara pushed himself away from the car, sending the blonde off him, and landing on his butt on the wet asphalt lot. "What the hell did you do that for, Gaara?!" Naruto shouted, picking himself up off the ground.

"Leave me the fuck alone! Do you not understand I don't want to be your friend anymore? I don't want to have ANYTHING to do with you again, Uzumaki!" Gaara turned back around, his face red with anger, he picked up his bag and pulled out his keys and unlocked his door.

"The FUCK is your problem Gaara?!" Naruto yelled, getting in the red-head's face. 'He NEVER calls me Uzumaki unless he's really pissed or in social gatherings. I just want to talk to him for fucks sake!' "I need to talk to you. Would you just give me a damn minute!" He said slamming closed the door Gaara had just opened.

Gaara glared down hard at the door that was just slammed, his mind turning. 'I had feelings for this jerk! And now that his plan is out, he won't let it go!' "Uzumaki, walk away before you regret opening that mouth of yours ever again," he snarled looking up at the blonde.

"Fuck. You." The blonde spat. "I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, some, some PLAN? You have seriously lost your fucking m--"

CRA~CK

Naruto was on his knees, facing away from Gaara whose hand was still fisted in mid-air, a slight cut on one of his knuckles. The impact of the punch that cut off Naruto sent his body twisting and he landed in a crouched position, one hand holding up his body, the other clutching the side of his jaw where Gaara just laid one on him. Being a sports addict, pain was nothing new to the blonde, and even though the punch was dead on, and hard as fuck, he was still functional… and really fucking pissed.

His fox grin replaced with a fox snarl, lips curled under baring fangs, Naruto turned to face the red-head. Gaara was in complete shock that he was capable of hitting the one he thought he cared for. He had been in many fights in his life, taken quite a few martial art classes, but he has never hurt someone he loved. 'Love? No, loved. That felt good, really good. Now only if the Uchiha were around to get some of this action,' he thought, a smirk gracing his lips.

Wrong move.

The slight smirk that adorned Gaara's lips sent Naruto over the edge. He flew from his crouched position and plowed into Gaara's gut, slamming him into his car with a sickening crack. His breath lost, and the body against him moving away, the red-head closed his arms around his body, head hanging down and taking deep breaths. Gaara's head began to swim and things looked as though he were watching from some where else. He looked up to see Naruto's hand wind back and come down on his face with such ferocity that he slammed his head on the roof of his car. 'Fuck!' Gaara slid down the side of his car, one hand cradling his stomach the other over his eye. Sitting on the asphalt now, resting against his car, and waiting for the inevitable death he probably deserved for hitting Uzumaki Naruto first, he was startled and looked up when Naruto began.

"Nameru..ja..nai!" Naruto said, anger flowing out of every word. "I don't know what the FUCK got into you today, but all I want to do is talk." Naruto breathed in a few times, trying to regain his composure before he beat the living shit out of his best friend. 'How DARE he! I told him I liked him and he punches me? Gah! He's lucky I restrained myself and didn't break any of his bones! Alright, alright. He's down and out, so now it's time to get this shit set straight.'

The red-head watched with a pale blue eye (his other temporarily out of whack) the blonde take a seat on the yellow cement block in the empty parking spot next to his car. "Your Japanese has improved much over the summer, Uzumaki."

Rubbing the back of his head, Naruto nodded. "Yeah, well, you tend to pick up on some things when you're home."

Gaara's eyebrows scrunched. "Eh? What are you talking about now, Uzumaki?"

"Quit fucking calling me that!" the blonde threw his arm up above his head in his exasperation. The red-head cocked a brow at Naruto. "Call me fucking Naruto, dammit!"

Sabaku Gaara turned his gaze away from his friend and down to the blacktop. 'I just can't. I just can't be his friend after all this.'

"Hey! Are you listening?"

Gaara looked up, Naruto's blonde brows raised high. "Hn," the red-head replied.

"Good," Naruto said, crossing his legs over by the ankles and resting his arms to his side to help recline himself in a better, more comfortable position on the hard rock. "I know why you're acting this way, I was still a little shocked because I thought you'd listen to me before you'd… well, do what you did!" the tanned muscular arms moved in a circular motion to indicate his helplessness.

"Just appease me for now and call me Naruto until I'm done talking, K?" Naruto asked, cocking his head to the side, a small grin gracing his features.

A small nod was all that Naruto was given to continue.

Nodding back towards his friend who was nursing his injuries, the blonde began. "I don't necessarily know where to start." Naruto thought for a few moments, scratched the back of his head and rubbed the side of his face where he could feel a bruise coming. His eyes drifted off towards no where, trying to think of where he should begin. 'Do I start with Sasuke, or about my disappearance?' Naruto fought with himself for a few moments on where to start, when he was startled by a slight growl.

Flashing his eyes back to Gaara's, he saw the redhead's brow arched in wonder. Naruto heard the growl again, and looked down. Looking back up at Gaara, he blushed as he rubbed the back of his head. "Umm, think we could go grab a bite to eat and discuss this over lunch?"

Rolling his eyes, Sabaku Gaara knew that Naruto's hunger always came first so he stood up. "Get in the car." With that, Gaara opened his door and waited for the blonde to get in.

Naruto's eyes glimmered and he jumped to his feet. He ran to the passenger side and climbed in the redhead's white Acura RSX. Smiling wide at his companion, he asked, "Where to?"

"Pizza?" Gaara asked.

"YOSH! Imo's dude! Let's go!" the blonde cheered from his seat.

The redhead rolled his eyes, yet smiled slightly at his friend's enthusiasm towards food. He started his car and backed up out of the spot. He pulled out of the lot and headed to the closest Imo's Pizza.

A few minutes later they arrived at the pizza parlor. The redhead and blonde entered, ordered, and sat down in a booth towards the back, waiting for their meal. Naruto sat quietly, looking over the menu, seeing what all new things they had. He then played with the salt and pepper shakers, by spinning them in his hands and making a small mound of the two and drew designs in it. Gaara just watched the blonde with one and a half baby blue eyes (he could sort of see out of his one eye again) as he chewed on his straw in his cup.

Gaara was about to confront the blonde on his stalling, when the waiter arrived with their pizza. They ordered just a simple sausage and cheese with a side of cheese bread. Imo's pizza was the St. Louis style pizza, so it was flat and had a sweet, yet tangy flavor. No crust, and cut in small pieces. The two were in heaven. They both reached in for a couple slices immediately and dug in.

Naruto and Gaara sat in relative silence as they enjoyed their food. A bite of pizza here, a bite of bread there, and a sip of soda in-between.. They munched happily and comfortably in the silence of one another.

A half hour later, the blonde and redhead were walking out of the pizza parlor, stomachs filled. They reached Gaara's car and Naruto reached for the handle and pulled. He staggered back when the force of his pull didn't open the car. He glanced up at the man on the other side of the car and scrunched his eyebrows at him.
"What now, Gaara?" the blonde asked, hand on hip.

Rolling his eyes, Gaara rested his arms on the top of his car. "Are you going to avoid talking to me for the rest of your life, Uzumaki?"

Gaara was now on the receiving end of something much, much worse than an Uchiha glare - an Uzumaki glare was ten times more fearful.

"...Naruto." Gaara's lip twitched into an almost smile.

The blonde tilted his head to the side, a mischievous smile gracing his face. Gaara was pretty sure the blonde had that in mind.

Sighing in defeat, he unlocked the car doors and opened his door and slid in. Naruto did the same and the two sat in silence yet again before the blonde turned to meet Gaara's blue eyes with his.

"No, I won't hide this from you forever. Truthfully, I need to tell someone." He sighed and sat back in his seat. "Take me to your house. I need that familiarity of a home."

Gaara swore he felt something in the way Naruto said that, it was almost painful. What ever happened to Naruto over the summer must have been trying on his soul. His anger over the blonde completely dissipated by this point, he started the car and pulled out of the parking lot in the direction of his home.

Naruto rested his head against the window and watched the houses go by. Gaara noticed the small smile grace the blonde's lips as if he was beginning to feel the familiarity of the town. Naruto had been gone for three months, or so he thought. Earlier Naruto said he had been home learning Japanese all summer. Which made no sense unless Naruto literally locked himself in his room and never once left the building of his apartment. Between he and Sasuke, one of them should've seen the blonde at least once this summer. And if Gaara's mind had completely jumped ship earlier on his accusations on the blonde and brunette, then Sasuke would not have seen hide nor hair of Naruto either. The blonde was such a mystery to Gaara it was frustrating, but he knew with time Naruto would tell him everything.
Gaara pulled into his driveway and stopped short of the garage that sat behind the house, but at the sidewalk that led up to the front door. He put the car in park and turned it off, glancing over at Naruto to see the blonde was looking at him with a warm smile. He smiled back and jerked his head towards the house to get the blonde moving. Blue eyes shining, and a bright smile in place, Naruto jumped out of the car and yelled back to Gaara, "Last one in has to give the other a piggyback ride up to your room!"

Gaara sat in the car with his mouth hanging open because by the time Naruto finished what he was saying, he was already at the door. Gaara rolled his eyes up to the skies as he stepped out, asking in silent prayer to the Gods above that he wouldn't break his back carrying the blonde upstairs, because he knew Naruto would throw a fit if he didn't get his ride.

Once Gaara reached the front door, Naruto was bouncing up and down on his toes, evil grin in place. Gaara opened the door and walked to the steps off to the side of the foyer. He turned and waited for Naruto who walked past him up two steps, and took a leaping jump on to Gaara's back. Gaara rolled his eyes to the heavens again, begging he make it up the steps in one piece.

Naruto had wrapped his legs completely around Gaara as well as his arms, and rested his chin on Gaara's shoulder. He sighed heavily against Gaara's cheek and the redhead heard the blonde mumble something along the lines of 'It's good to be home.'

Forgetting the Gods, Gaara placed his hands under Naruto's thighs to hoist him up a little higher and to hold on to him as he made his way up the flight of stairs to his bedroom. Half way up, Naruto shouted, "Drinks!! Go back down, Gaara!" He whined when Gaara took another step up, then the redhead gave in and began to trace his steps back down. They walked into the kitchen, well Gaara walked in the kitchen, Naruto rode in. If Gaara was not completely in love with the goofball he'd surely kick his ass for this.

Gaara sided up next to the fridge and let Naruto open it and pick out what he wanted. The blonde looked the shelves up and down, looking for anything to quench his thirst, when he spotted something.

"Ramune soda!" the blonde practically drooled. "Share it with me? Since it's the last one."

"Yeah yeah, go for it," he said, leaning in for Naruto to pick up the glass bottle on the top shelf.

"Mmm, I haven't had Ramune soda in ages, Gaara," he said while wrapping his arms back around the redhead, holding the bottle right against his friend's cheek.

"Cold, you idiot!" he shouted.

"Gomen, gomen!" he held his hand with the bottle down in the middle of Gaara's chest. "Oi, lean over to the freezer.“

Gaara did as he was told and the blonde opened it up, searching for something.

“A-ha!“ Naruto exclaimed when he pulled out a few icepacks. Happy with his bounty, the blonde shouted out, “Onward ho!" and he jostled his legs like he would if he was riding a horse.

Gaara looked over his shoulder and saw the blonde smiling. Shaking his head, he began his trek up the steps to his room. After a few shaky moments on the stairs, the two finally made it to Gaara's door. He released one of Naruto's legs to open the door and the blonde squeezed his arms and legs around him a bit more tightly so he would not fall. Gaara stalled for a second at the feel of Naruto's entire body plastered to his own.

~~~~~~~~

Naruto was enjoying being close to Gaara again. It had been so long, and he was afraid after what played out this afternoon that the two might not ever be this way again. Thankfully, their friendship proved to be stronger and they're almost back to where they were three months ago.

His idea on a piggyback ride may have helped ease the tension between the two, but definitely not the tension between his legs. He tried to keep his body not so tightly against the man carrying him up the stairs, but he couldn't tell if being far from him would make it that more noticeable, or the other way around. As he grabbed the soda, he leaned close to Gaara and the closeness made his face heat up. He knew he was enjoying this too much. But he did like Gaara so it wouldn't hurt to be like this, right? Right.

When Gaara let go of Naruto's leg, Naruto felt himself slip and he slung his body flat against the redhead. His half-hard erection getting pinned between the two bodies sent shivers up and down Naruto's body, but he caught his breath when the man he was on stilled at the door.

'Shit, does he feel me growing hard against him?' he asked himself.

Seconds passed and Gaara had yet to open the door.

'Fuck. Me,' the blonde thought. 'What to do? What to do?!' Thinking of different ways to get him out of this position, Naruto finally came to a conclusion.

"Open the door," Naruto whispered in the redhead's ear.

And so he did.

"Walk," the blonde whispered again.

And Gaara did, after placing his hand back under Naruto.

"Take me to your bed."

The hot breath played over his ear, so he did.

'It's working,' Naruto mentally patted himself on the back. 'Once he sets me down I can just cross my legs and he'll be none the wiser..at least if he ever comes out of this daze. Yep, there's the bed so now he can sit me dow-Hey! Wait a minute!! He's laying me down!'

Gaara reached the bed and sat down on the edge of it with Naruto. Once the blonde loosened his grip, he turned and slid his arms through Naruto's and leaned down, pushing him down with his body.

'This looks oddly familiar,' Naruto thought. 'Heh, possibly because Sasuke was doing the same damn thing to me less than two hours ago!' Naruto was seconds away from bashing his head into the nearby bedpost.

The body above him slowly descended on him. Gaara's eyes were glazed over in what could plainly be considered lust. Eyes half lidded, his lips parted slightly, and a tint of pink graced his cheeks.

~~~~~~~~

'Do I feel what I think I feel?' Gaara asked himself. 'I must be imagining things, but why can't I move? Is he talking to me? My body is reacting to his orders. Oh lord, did he just tell me to take him to my bed? God please, let this not be a dream!' Waking from his inner dialogue after sitting the blonde down, he turned around to capture the object of his affection.

Naruto started to move himself out from under Gaara, all cold items left at the end of the bed. The red-head followed suit, crawling on his hands and knees like a predator stalking his prey until Naruto met the pillows and headboard. Baby blues met deep ocean blues and they were locked in place. Naruto's breath began to deepen and Gaara's senses became painfully aware of every sound and movement the blonde made. His chest would rise and fall in sporadic intervals, his lips had parted, and his top lip would twitch in an almost anticipation. His leg shifted on the edge of the bed, and the blonde pushed himself up further on the bed.

Gaara watched as Naruto's pink little tongue escaped between his lips to coat his plump lips with a delicate shine. Gaara mimicked the motion and he watched Naruto's eyes grow wider. His hand came up to cup Naruto's whiskered cheek and stared down into his endless blue orbs before he lowered his head and softly brushed his nose against the blonde's.

~~~~~~~~

Naruto's breath hitched and he felt his erection hardening. Gaara was the first boy he ever loved and he felt ashamed for kissing Sasuke before him, but he never was sure of the redhead's feelings. Now, it seemed, Gaara was attracted to him as well. The thoughts of all the things he could finally say and do with Gaara made his member twitch in the confines of his jeans and he leaned up to brush noses with Gaara again, eyes half mast.

The boys' mouths were open, breathing in and out each other's air. Naruto couldn't handle it anymore, the tingling in his body giving in, he leaned his face up closer to Gaara's and let his lips ghost across his once, twice, before backing away.
