'He's here,' It was the only thought that could manifest itself in his mind. Aquatic eyes are intense and focused on whats ahead, sweat pours down his head from beneath golden locks. Naruto Uzumaki, the Fox Demon of the Konoha Leaf Village hopped from rooftop to rooftop with the practiced ease of a seasoned ninja. His training for today was over, but he wouldn't be heading home to his lonley, empty, one bedroom apartment. No, today he had someone to see whom had come a very long way just to see him.

Naruto blushed slightly at how important that made him feel. Finally, today they would make their relationship public... no more hiding behind closed doors. Yes, he and Gaara were finally going to be true lovers, with nothing to be ashamed of. Now that Gaara had been officially noticed as the Kazekage, no one could say anything to him about his personal life. And what did Naruto care about anyone's opinion... As long Iruka didn't disapprove. But Iruka and Kakashi were together, so it's not like he was against gay couples...
'
"As long as he makes you happy, then it's fine by me.. HA! It's cute how you come tome for permission like you used to. I like the parental feeling. Thank you, Naruto..." '

Naruto was amazed, he tought he'd have been the one saying thank you. But all that mattered now was getting to the Ramen shop with Gaara. Oh, how he longed to bury his fingers into flaming locks of glossy inferno, and press Gaara's soft lips onto his own...

~*******************~

Sasuke was on his way home from an extended training session with his old sensei, Kakaghi. Beating on the old tart was one of the things he'd missed the most when he was training with Orochimaru. Well, he had to admit, the old ninja could still hold his own. As Sasuke rounded the corner, a gust of wind blew raven strands into his eyes. thinking that he should have kept his headband on, he reached up to brush the stands from his eyes. No sooner could he see than he got the breath knocked out of him. Blinking the stars from his vision, he looked down from his 'sitting against the wall' position to see none other than Naruto...

~*******************~

Shaking the whisps of hair from his eyes, Naruto looked up to see who it was that he'd run into. Sasuke! Of course it had to be the insufferable Uchiha! And why wouldn't Naruto be in just the perfect position to look like he was about to give Sasuke a blow job? This was almost as embarrassing as when they'd accidentally kissed in class... the kiss wasn't the bad part at the time, it was that Sakura had seen and probably thought he was gay. At the time he was as straight as a pin. Rising from the compromising situation, Naruto extended a helping hand to his fellow ninja, " Sorry about that, I'm just in hurry."

Trying to hide a furious blush that Sasuke could feel burning his cheeks, he rose without accepting Naruto's hand. Turning quickly away, Sasuke winced at how cold he was being. 'Why do i feel sorry for being mean to this loser?' It was odd considering the object of Sasuke's burning affection was none other than Gaara of the sand, whom he'd heard had been spotted entering the village.
"I'm fine, thanks." Sasuke continued on his way at a relaxed pace.

~*******************~

'Did Sasuke just blush? AHAHAHAHA! Hilarious!' Naruto thought trying to stifle a huge giggle. Suddenly remembering where he was supposed to be, Naruto launched himself onto another rooftop to continue on his Panda hunt.

~*******************~

Feeling Naruto's arms wrap around his shoulders from behind, Gaara smiled and set down his clover tea. The smile cause several onlookers to wince in fright, considering what a smile from the almighty Panda usually meant.

"You're late, Naruto." Gaara turned to face his little fox. Wrapping his arms around Naruto's waist, he captured his lovers soft lips in his own. "You know that means punishment later,"

"Yes, sir." Naruto purred. Turning to the shopkeep he said, "I'll have some of whatever tea he's got, tastes good." Grinning, Naruto turned back to Gaara and gave him another gentle kiss.

Gaara broke the kiss when when several screaming fan girls started snapping pictures and saying things like, "We should start a Panda x Fox fanclub!!!!" It was really incredible how lifeless some people were. Even more jaw dropping, the things girls would resort to just to spice up their lives. Gaara's thoughts were interrupted when Narutos breath was on his ear.

" Let's really give them something to gossip about," he whispered. Maybe he was enjoying the public relationship a little too much. But why stop him?

"Oh, Naruto you are sooo naughty," Gaara said just loud enough to get another squeal out of the croud of girls. The shopkeep didn't seem to mind too much, after all the more they played around the more bussiness he was getting...

Naruto gently ran his tounge across Gaara's lips, then plunged it into his mouth for another mouth watering kiss. He snagged another scream from the girls. Breaking the kiss,he said loud enough for the girls to hear, "Come on let's get out of here and go somewhere... a little more private." He paid for the now luke warm tea he hadn't even drank.

~*******************~

Itachi looked on as Gaara and Naruto made out in front of a bunch of annoying teenage girls with picture phones. "So, I've got competition for the red-head? We'll see just how interesting we can make this..." Kisame gave an icy chuckle thatsent shivers down the spine of a kunoichi nearby...

Temari opened the door to her lonesome house. Summer house, really, but to her it was no different from her hometown, Sunagakure: Villaga Hidden in the Sand; empty boring and tearfully dreary. Especially considering that her eyes were still full of images of the Shark-nin.

"Hello boys, I'm home," she said in a mock happy voice. After-all, what's there to be happy for when no one's around to greet you? Dropping her gym bag onto the floor and slipping off her sandals, she made her way into the kitchen to prepare some clover tea; Gaara's favorite. She remembered when she would come home and Gaara, being much younger than his current 17 years, would rush up and hug her waist...

'"Temari, what took you so long? I thought you'd never get home! And Kankuro was picking on me again today! He said I look like a girl with too much eyeliner." Tears welled up in his big childlike green eyes. He really did look as though his 'eyeliner' were about too smudge. Trying too comfort him she would gently ask,

"Would you like some hot tea to calm you down while I go beat up Kankuro?" The poor child would nod his head while rubbing the moister from his eyes.'
But now it was just Temari, all alone, catching herself in a daydream as her tea began to boil over.

"Dammit!", Gaara had been on his way to Naruto-kun's house, she remembered. After all, how long can one hormonially driven teenager go with out seeing his girlfriend? Temari stopped, 'BOYfriend'. Not that she had a problem with Gaara being gay, it just enthralled her that he'd finally found someone who made him happy again after his angsty lapse into insanity, whence he proceeded to carve "love" into his forhead with sand. But, perhaps the best part of it was that Naruto loved him back.

"Pshhh, love. The one thing everyone's got but me," Temari said to herself while sitting down at the small circular dining table. She found herself being the only one at this table a little too frequently. Yes, Gaara had Naruto, and Kankuro had Ino. Both of them with long term relationships, holy hell.

She set down her half drained tea cup on a coaster. With a sigh she leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes and settled a wrist over her forehead. Silently, her dreams took her, dreams of the sea, a beautiful man who breathed his aquatic breathe into her.

Suddenly, she jolted awake. A realization overtook her. Kisame, she had to make Kisame happy. To do so, Itachi must be happy. This way Kisame could stop fretting over his friend. Then maybe she would have a chance to snag the fish(or shark, rather) out of the sea. It was far too late tonight, but tomorrow perhaps, she would devise a plan, and find love of her own, once and for all. But then, maybe it wasn't all that late, she decided she'd go to the bar and have a few drinks, after all, it was only around 10:30.

~********************~

"My God, I am fucking exhausted." Sasuke muttered to himself as he entered his small, one bedroom apartment. Locking the door behind himself he made his way to his bathroom. He caught a glance of himself in the mirror. Pale as ever, bags under his eyes, but with determination in them. He thought over the plan one more time as he stripped his training gear off of his toned body. He was going to go to the club tonight and rip Gaara away from Naruto so fast, it would wipe the scars right off Naruto's face. Naruto...

"Yes, his smooth, tanned face. Accented by his stunning blue eyes, and hot rockin' body. Plus, I bet he's got a huge...'"

"What the hell?!?" A shirtless Sasuke whipped around to find an infuriatingly smug other Uchiha standing in doorway of his bathroom. "What the fuck are you doing in my damn house?" Sasuke thundered.

"Oh, a house? Is that what you call this quaint little thing? And, by the way, it's nice to see you too." Itachi lied. "That thing you call a "lock" on your front door had a bit of a disagreement with me, so I broke it." Itachi explained with lack of intrest, as if it were something he did daily.(Although, that wouldn't be surprising.)

"You broke my fucking lock? Mother fucker, I'll kill your ass!" Sasuke said reddening slightly. "I mean, fuck! Have you never heard of KNOCKING?!?"

"Well, what do you expect, it wouldn't let me in. And don't worry about killing my ass, I don't own any beasts of burden," Smart-ass, check. "Enough chit-chat," Itachi said lifting a hand to stop Sasuke's next string of hot-headed curses. "I came to let you know that there's absolutly no point in going after the Kazekage, I already am. And little brother, we both know you can't beat me." Itachi said with a chuckle as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Sasuke broke out in a sweat. Itachi was right, he could never out charm his older brother, truth was, he was too inexperienced. But, strangly, that wasn't what bothered him. If Itachi stole Gaara away, then Naruto would be crushed. Naruto, his brother had been right. Why hadn't he seen it before? Maybe he did, he just ignored it.

In the classroom all those years ago, when the dobe had landed on Sasuke's face, he quickly pushed Naruto off thinking 'What the hell, that was, unexpeceted... unexpectedly pleasent?' Yes, he'd been gay from the start. Sasuke continued on to the shower now with renewed motivation.... to save Naruto from heartbreak...

~********************~

Naruto winced slightly at the pain in the back of his skull as Gaara slammed him into then wall. "What did you just say, Naruto?" It was more of a command than a question, really.

"I said,' You know you like playing bitch, more than you like playing butch!'" Naruto answered, pushing back on Gaara's shoulders, and tripping him to the floor with his foot. Before Gaara could get back up and react, Naruto was pinning him down and claiming Gaara's sweet mouth with his own. Gaara finally surrendered, melting into the kiss. Naruto was right, it was a lot easier just to give in to someone else, and let them do it all...

'But that's just it, isn't it?' Gaara thought as he gave a long moan whilst Naruto ravaged his body. 'What happened to our vigor? Where's my need to please?'

He knew the truth, as did Naruto. They were only one anothers introduction to love. There was something bigger awaiting them.

Naruto winced his eyes as he began to push into Gaara's tight body. Slowly at first, as always. Gaara really did love Naruto, but the lust didn't last. They were really, truly only meant to be friends.

Gaara began to push back into Naruto as the blonde picked up pace and rythem. Putting one hand on Gaara's hip for leverage, Naruto used the other to grip Gaara's weeping member.

Naruto was at the point of slamming Gaara's cavern, assaulting his prostate. "N-Naru.. Oh fuck, harder!" Gaara could only barely manage to gasp out. Naruto took the words and turned them into actions, now hammering Gaara. But they both wept silently, even in the middle of making-love. This would be the last.

Finally, Naruto pumped Gaara one last time, and with one last slam, they both shuddered and screamed with release. Trying as they came to wash away the bitter-sweet knowlege that they both shared: They were no longer in love. Their heat had gone out like the light of the sun fading over the distant mountains. The only thing left was trying to hold each other up for one another sakes.

Gaara kissed Naruto gently on the forhead. They both saw it in each other's eyes. This was the end. Tonight they would both go to the club, but not as boyfriends, just as drinking buddies. Which sucked eternally: This was their third anniversary.

Gaara stood and extended a hand to Naruto to help him up. "You gonna be alright?" Gaara asked with sincere concern. He would stay with Naruto forever despite his own feelings, if only for Naruto's sake.

"I'll be fine... so long as you promise me one thing." Naruto said looking hard into Gaara's eyes. Gaara nooded, looking intent on making Naruto know that everything would still be okay.

"Remain my friend for always?" Naruto asked, as a single tear fell to the floor.

Gaara pulled him into a tight embrace, "Always,Naruto. Anything for you. Forever." Gaara touched the inside of his right wrist. There was a mark made by his own sand; a mark of the Konoha leaf. Instantaniously, Naruto felt the raised mark of the Sunagakure hourglass on his own wrist. Eachothers markings, eternal claims on one another...

A/N: I know it was wierd killing Gaara and Naruto off the day they went public, but that's just the way their chocolate chip cookie crumbled. Anyways, please review!
