[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Gaara stood shocked as he registered the flashing of a camera coming from the left of him. “Who..?” he started looking over to catch the smiling face of Hyuga Neji, slightly hidden behind his camera. The very same camera that the long haired boy never left home without. Well, unless his cam corder was with him. Either way though, the boy was always recording something in his life.

“Smile.” Neji said softly, a little late in his warning. Gaara growled under his breath at the overly popular, and overly rich boy's antics.

“Fuck off.” Gaara spat vehemently at him, before turning and quickly leaving. Neji just smiled as he watched the little red head storm off. Then, slowly lowering his camera to his side, Neji sighed, and he had to admit that he had a slight... infatuation with the red head.

After a prolonged amount of time, used for trying to break this... infatuation... he just gave into it and went with the flow of things.

Gaara slammed the door shut to his home, Neji's white eyed stare always bothered him to no end. He couldn't stand that Hyuga boy. At the sound of the door, Naruto's head popped from out of the kitchen. “Oh hey Gaa-kun I'm so glad your home!” Naruto exclaimed happily racing out to hug the red head tightly.

“Get off of me Naruto.” Gaara grumbled, unraveling himself from Naruto's grip.

“Oh look at this...” Naruto said, pausing as he rushed into the kitchen to grab the orange hair dye he had bought earlier that day. “...I want you to put this in for me.” Naruto continued, smiling brightly, Gaara just rolled his eyes.

“Why can't you do it?” he asked walking into the kitchen and grabbing a bottled water from the fridge.

“Uhh... well you know,” Naruto looked at his feet blushing a bit, “I'm no good at this kind of these kinds of things and I wanna look good.”

Gaara looked up at the pathetic looking blounde who was currently giving him the saddest pair of puppy eyes ever. Gaara growled to himself at this, he couldn't believe he let the boy do this to him. “Sit, don't speak a word. Just sit.” the red head growled snatching the box from Naruto's hands. Naruto squealed in delight and quickly sat down on one of the hard wooden kitchen chairs.

“Naruto, what happened to your hair?!” Kiba yelled at the sight of his blounde friend's newly orange streaked hair. The spiky haired dog boy had been one of Naruto's closest friends since they were young. And currently dated their other friend Shino, the boy with the bug obsession. Which by th way, Naruto found to be slightly disgusting.

“Doesn't it look good?! Gaara did it for me last night!” Naruto exclaimed happily.

“Hmm... speaking of which. Where is our favorite little psycho?” Kiba asked idly standing back and watching the students rushing all around them.

“Oh yeah, he said that he had to go do something real quick that he would see us in lunch.” Naruto replied, looking up at the sky calmly. No one eve knew where the red head when he went to go do something real quick, but Naruto never asked any questions. Since well, he knew better than to question Gaara when he wanted private times.

So Naruto decided to head to class, without the red head.

~~~~~


Neji stood off to the side of the school, class had started but he didn't go to class. Instead he was too busy observing his favorite subject, plus it didn't really matter since he was a straight A student anyway. Gaara, such a beautiful red headed boy, who was currently kneeled down on the ground looking at... something.

Neji had his cam corder on to capture every little detail of the gorgeous red head. “I'm a guy damn it! I shouldn't think such things about another boy.” Neji cursed himself softly, as to not disturb Gaara's peace. It was to no avail as the boy turned quickly to glare at him.

Neji's face went impassive as he felt Gaara slam him against the wall moments later, the cam corder dropped to the ground, and completely forgotten. “Why do you keep following me Hyuga?!” Gaara growled viscously at him.

“I like you.” Neji replied calmly, and honestly, but the answer just seemed to make the younger of the two even angrier.

“You think your funny, 'cause you're not Hyuga! Now tell me the real reason behind you following me!” Gaara demanded.

“I was being honest. I like you. I have for a long time actually.” Neji replied again trying to quickly think of a way to convince him. Since the red head looked taken aback at the news that was presented to him. Was it really that much of a shock that someone could actually like Gaara? Neji already knew that he was an outcast, but Neji honestly didn't think there was anything too terribly wrong with him.

For an instance, Gaara's grip on Neji faltered, and in that instance Neji used this chance to flip them both so that Gaara was the one now pinned against the wall. “Let go of me you stalker!” Gaara ground out steadily glaring at Neji.

“I am not a stalker.” Neji replied calmly.

“Yeah, well what the hell do you call it when you follow people around and tape or take pictures of them?!” the red head countered heatedly, Neji remained silent for a moment in contemplation.

“I just wanted to get to know you.” Neji said unsure of himself.

“So you stalked me?” Gaara asked incredulously.

“You don't let anyone close enough to get to know you. This was the only way I could see that I would be able to find out different things about you. I never planned on interfering with whatever is you want to do. I promise.” Neji explained, his voice staying very low, and his eyes on the ground in a very un-Hyuga like manner.

“I see, just don't disturb me.” Gaara replied after eying Neji suspiciously for a moment. Slowly and un-surely Neji released Gaara. Bending down, the long haired boy picked up his cam corder and turned, leaving Gaara to his privacy for the moment.

~~~~~


Ever since their encounter behind the school Neji couldn't stop thinking about the lovely red head. Now though, simply filming and taking photographs weren't enough for him. He wanted to do more, he wanted to speak to the other boy... to touch him. He couldn't though, since he knew that any of those things would chase the other away.

There was just something about that fiery attitude, that went with the fiery red hair, but not the short stature and elfin features. He was a... dangerous kind of adorable, yet sexy, and alluring.

As he watched Gaara move from one thing that held his attention to the next, Neji grew impatient with the lack of action he was taking. At that moment he decided that he had to take action to get to better know the red headed boy. Just then, a blounde boy rushed into the scene of his cam corder, Uzumaki Naruto. A grin quickly spread across Neji's features, he had figured out his way to get to Gaara quicker. Why, what better way than harassing a certain big mouth blounde?


Naruto bit his lip nervously as Neji cornered him like a predator eying it's prey. His back was against the wall as Neji stalked closer, Naruto had already tried getting away, and now he was trapped. “Calm down Naruto-kun I just wanted to know a little bit about your lovely younger brother.” Neji said all too pleasantly, Naruto eyed him suspiciously.

“Your his stalker aren't you?” Naruto countered, the long haired boy look slightly taken aback by the bloundes words.

“I am not!”

“You are, aren't you?!” Naruto yelled accusingly, making his predator back off a bit. “Gaara told me all about you stalking him!”

“Shut up! None of that matters, I just want to know how I can approach him. Talk to him, get closer to him in a sorts. You're his brother, you should know!” Neji insisted, ignoring the accusations of him being a stalker.

“Yeah, and why the hell should I help you?” the blounde replied with a slight pout.

Neji grinned again and leaned in close so he could whisper in Naruto's ear, “I'll help you obtain a certain Uchiha's attention for you. That is, if you help me out.” Naruto blushed brightly at the thought.

“Y-you expect me to sell my own brother out for something like that?” Naruto questioned unsteadily, knowing that he was loosing the argument, and fast.

Neji leaned back and grinned, “I'm not asking you to sell him out, just help him find happiness. In return, you will also gain what will most likely make you happy also.” he replied calmly, watching as Naruto bit his lip in concentration.

“Well what if he isn't happy with you?” came an unsure reply.

“Then I will leave him be, I'll stick to only being his friend. If he doesn't want that, then... I will leave him alone... completely.” Neji said softly.

“Fine... but if you tell on me. I'll kill you.” Naruto started before telling Neji how he could win over Gaara.
