December 22, 2004.
A tin can clanks noisily down the icy street from Kiba's reign upon it with a stick. The brunet has been thinking about getting some of the neighborhood kids together for an ice hockey game on the 23rd so, absently, he's been practicing. It will be nice to have Lee on the team instead of being goally because of his condition. The Rock child was excited as well since its his first winter in Fukuoka with his new pacemaker. The nuts been jogging in the mornings, and randomly taking in deep breaths just to test its strength. Kiba thought he might be pushing it a little, and took it upon himself to pretend to want rest so that Lee would take a break with him. Besides, Lee's uncle is really nice and invited him and some others over to their place to celebrate Christmas with them. The Inuzuka's don't celebrate Christmas so it would be a first for Kiba. Neji's family doesn't do it either, he's not sure about Sasuke because the guy never talks much about his home life. Lifting the stick he'd pulled from the brush beside his home, Kiba gives the can a good whack to test his slap shot.
Both he and Lee watch as the can soars through the crispy winter air landing in a tree decorated with white holiday lights.
"Nice shot." Says Lee admiring the distance the can made.
"That's nothin'," Kiba waves a hand before resting them, cockily on his sides. "you should see me when I really cut loose tomorrow." Dashing forward he calls over his shoulder. "They won't be able to get a thing from me-eee-eee!" His legs slip from under him when he dashed over a clump of ice, dropping Kiba to the frozen concrete.
"Kiba!" Hurrying forward he tries to catch the male, but its no use as Kiba slides a good five feet along the sidewalk on his butt and right into a tree. "Are you ok?" He kneels down a bit holding out his hand to assist the boy to his feet.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He brushes the water and slush from his butt. Good thing his mom isn't home or he'd be toast.
Although he was fine, Lee decided that maybe they should call it a night. Its around six so its getting pretty dark outside.
"You wanna stop for some cocoa before we go home?"
"I'm broke."
"I'll pay."
Smiling a sharp toothed grin, he says very casually. "Than how's about making it a hot fudge sundae?"
Cocking a brow, Lee begins to walk towards the center of town. "I don't know if I have enough for that." Avoiding a piece of ice, he spots a teacher from their school and waves to her when she looks their way, smiling when he received a wave in return.
It had been such a good year. He had his first kiss, he has a boyfriend now- can you believe it. True the two of them haven't had their first official date yet, but he was still wondering what to do with someone like Gaara, what would make him happy. In the meantime, they've just been enjoying each others company and spending any free time from school and their friends with each other. It's been a bumpy ride, Lee would admit that easily, but being with Gaara and having a few ups and downs is worth it. Besides, perfection is boring and even scary if you really think about it. When would you get to meltdown, how would you approach the other person with a problem or fear. In the end you'd be very miserable if not insane from lack of anything other than model relationship to be your lifestyle. You'd be bottled up and the explosion would be-... oh boy. No, problems are good.
"Hey? Yoo hoo!" He waves a hand infront of Lee's face. "You in there Rock? I said we're here."
"Huh?" He looks over at his best friend. "What?"
Smiling mischieviously, Kiba cocks his head to the side. "Uh-huh, you're thinking about little Gaara," He makes kissy noises. "my little lover boy." Poking Lee on the cheek he gives his finger a twist. "The air I breathe," His voice goes up a bit higher like a woman. "the breeeeeze between my kneeeees." Laughing at Lee's blush, he pulls open the door to the shop. "So how far have you two gotten?"
"Kiba! Not infront of the p-a-d-e-s-t-r-i-a-n-s."
Blinking Kiba asks. "The what?"
"The people! one word gets out and who knows what would happen."
Looking over the small crowd of kissing couples and lonely, sorrow faced, sweets drowners Kiba shakes his head. "I don't think they care."
The two walk into the shop right up to the counter. Lee ordered them two cocoa's after checking his wallet for spare change to get Kiba's sundae- he doesn't have enough. A shame for Kiba but he'd live. Bringing their drinks over to a window seat table, they play with their straws through the thick foam of whipped topping placed atop their drinks. Both boys look out the large window at the people passing by. Its not so cold tonight so people are out to do tasks and errands while the weather permits it which is why Lee's uncle allowed him to go out with Kiba, he figured history wouldn't repeat itself on a calm night like this.
Bored with the outside world, Kiba turns his attention back to Lee. "So seriously, you two have that official date yet or what?"
Sighing in defeat, Lee shakes his head. "No, not yet. I still haven't decided where to go yet. I want us to both enjoy it so that when its over we can both have it to look back on and say 'that was the best first date two people could ever have', is that so wrong?"
"No, of course not. I know when Shino and I went out on a date we wanted that same thing."
Perked up, he says. "Really?"
"Nooo, not really. We just went to a movie and he screwed me into the mattress a week later."
Lee scoffed. That couldn't possibly have happened.
Shaking his head, Kiba smirks. "No, that was the truth. That guys a freak." He snickers to himself biting on the froth covered straw.
Blushing, Lee starts to get a mental picture of screwing Gaara into the bedding, which only makes him blush more. Shaking away the thought bubble, he turns his wide gaze out the window again.
"Are you two kissing?" Asks Kiba not done with the Q. and A.
Its like they always say, "when you're bored bother someone who isn't" and in all honesty Lee doesn't look bored. Lee looks down at his drink at that question, then smiles faintly.
"Yeah. We kiss a lot actually."
"Any good?"
Nodding, the Rock child takes a drink in hopes to hide his smile. "He's great. I don't know how I am but he doesn't seem unhappy with it."
Shrugging his hand, Kiba says slyly. "Yeah, I'd kiss you to test it but- you know, you'd fall in love with me, Gaara would be upset and I hear he's got murderous intent when it comes to you."
Taken aback, he asks. "Who says that?"
"Some blond kid told Sasuke, and he told me."
"I didn't know that." Comments Lee absently.
Kicking the Rock boys foot, he scoffs. "Don't worry about it, its sweet. We all knew you'd end up with a nut anyway."
Lee shrugged. It was true; in June Kiba said to him 'I'll bet when you start dating you'll end up with some nutcase- or Gaara, but what's the difference.' And fight the attraction as he might, he ended up falling for the cute red head.
"How's his mother by the way? You said something about her- hmm... over the summer."
Now that was a better topic at the moment. Lee didn't wanna think about people being beaten down by his boyfriend. "She's doing great! Gaara says she still doesn't talk to him, but he said that he's been talking to her and she even smiled at him once. I think they're gonna be ok."
Nodding, Kiba replies over a mouth full of foam. "I knew you could work your magic on them- hey there's Sasuke and Neji!" He spies them from a glance out the window. Knee on the seat to elevate him, he bangs his hand on the window. "Hey! Hey! Get in here!!"
"Young man," the woman behind the counter calls. "Can you please not bang the windows like that? Thank you."
Turning his nose up he says in a flat tone. "Whoever broke a window by banging on it?" Continuing to do just that. "Nejiiii!!! Sasuke!!!!"
"Young man please!" Shouts the woman from behind the counter.
It didn't matter either way the two boys heard Kiba calling them and from across the street they look through the window of the shop spotting the other two members of their little foursome. Kiba gestures for them to come over to them but Neji shakes his head as Sasuke holds up a small white box for them to see. Not about to take 'no' for an answer, Kiba flips them off then again gestures for them to come over. Neji and Sasuke begin talking to each other at which point Sasuke hands the Hyuuga boy the box then starts across the street towards the cafe. Neji watched for a moment, then continued down the street. Once inside Sasuke heads for the counter ordering a large cocoa to go, pacing over to the table once it was handed to him.
"What the hell is so important?" He asks looking bitterly at Kiba.
Grinning the Inuzuka boy says with all the sarcastic love in the world. "Hi."
Glaring, Sasuke stands. "I'm out of here."
Laughing, Kiba stands as well, his drink long since finished. "Sasuke wait, I was just joking."
Lee picks up his drink, popping a cap on top of it before heading out the door after the two. The three of them are walking down the street back to their neighborhood, or at least to Lee's and Sasuke's since Kiba lives in the other direction- he's spending the night at the Maito home.
"What's up with you two? What was in the box?" Asks Kiba after a while.
"Dango- my brother wanted some." Explains Sasuke. Handing his drink to Lee, he unzips his coat a bit, then sucks his arms inside, reaching for the cup again he takes it, hands basking in the warm generating from the enclosed heat. He didn't wear his gloves because it wasn't cold out when he'd left but now that its starting to snow the temperature is beginning to drop. "Seriously, what did you call us over for?" Asks Sasuke.
"Seriously, hi." Replies Kiba.
Sasuke makes an agitated sound but sips his chocolate ready for a change of subject.
"Hey guess what," Kiba says. "Lee's thinking about having sex." He drops an arm around said males shoulders.
"With who?"
"Nobody! I said I was kissing," Lee explains. "Besides, even if I was planning on doing that I'm not sure if its something I really wanna talk about."
"Why not?" The other two say in unison.
With a shrug, Lee drops his cup into a trash can. "Because.... Its embarrassing and- and whoever has a good first time."
"I did." They again both say at the same time.
"At least there's something to look forward to, pressure to be good." He says sarcastically.
"Tch. Sex is easy." Says Kiba. "Especially if you're on top."
Shaking his head, Sasuke says. "I prefer bottom, you don't have to do much to get off."
"You have too much adjustments to make when you're on the bottom, too many commands to give out."
"Since when?"
Glaring daggers now, Kiba goes on to say. "Because you're always with that whole 'right there', or 'harder' when you could just be taking the command. Thrusting in is just a hip movement away."
"Assuming that makes any sense-..." Says Sasuke.
Lee listens to the two argue about positions wondering which would be best for someone like him. On the one hand, he's really good at taking direction but on the other hand he doesn't wanna hurt Gaara and if Sex Ed. was any kind of helper, the first time penatration really hurts. So many things to consider and he hasn't even had a first date yet. What a predicament. He wonders if Gaara is thinking about it as well.
At the Uzumaki home. Naruto's family has two traditions over the holidays. 1. Endless supply of cookies and 2. Always watch that American movie 'A Christmas story', and because Gaara and Shikamaru were there the first time it became tradition they are always invited over every year to watch it with the family. So this year is no exception, only this year his parents decided to do some last minute shopping and are out, so the three boys are technically home alone since Naruto's grandfather, Jiraiya, has fallen into a drunken egg nog sleep in the arm chair. The room is moderately silent while they watch, minus Naruto cracking up at his favorite parts. He just loves when Randy cries about not being able to put his arms down. It gets him everytime and of course his beloved "Ohhh fuudge" line. Gaara has been nursing a ginger bread cookie for a half hour while thinking about Lee. He's certain the male said that they are lovers and yet he hasn't taken him out on a date yet. He was seriously beginning to wonder if Lee was messing with him.
Pausing the DVD Naruto stands up. "Anyone gotta go to the bathroom?"
"Not me." Replies Shikamaru, whose been counting the colored lights on the tree while half paying attention to the movie.
"Gaara?"
He doesn't answer.
"Gaara!" Snaps Naruto.
Looking at the red head, Shikamaru smirks. "Naruto, don't you know?"
"No, what?" He sits down on the couch looking from one friend to another. "What should I know?"
"Gaara's not with us anymore, he's cruising the lane of mental passion with his boyfriend Lee."
Looking at Gaara, eyes wide he says. "Seriously?"
The two begin to laugh.
Blinking, Gaara looks at them then says in an even voice. "I need one of you to have sex with me."
Naruto was knocked on his head to the floor. Shikamaru looked intriuged scooting a bit closer to the drab male.
"Okay." He answers.
"Shikamaru!" Retrieving himself from the floor, Naruto sits between the two hot blooded males. "Gaara, what are you nuts? What about Lee?"
"That's the whole point. I need to practice so that when we have sex I get it right."
Tossing a look at his grandfather, Naruto then looks back at Gaara. "Ssshhh. Gaara, you can't just have sex with someone, not everyone is the same."
"I know the basics; stick it in, pull it out, repeat." His eyes are fixed on the television.
Naruto laughs uncomfortably. Next year he's gonna make friends with people a little less blunt. "There's more to it than that, and besides.... why are you thinking about se-... that anyway? You're so young! And you haven't even been on a single date with him."
"Why does that matter?"
"Because! You gotta give this stuff time man... do you even love Lee?"
Gaara thought that over. "There are too many ways to love somebody."
Taken aback, Naruto shakes his head. "No, no there isn't... there are only two. There's love like me and Sasuke and then there's love like what I have for you two."
Again, Gaara thinks for a bit. "No. What I feel for Lee is neither of those.... its more like a.... like a weird love. Because I don't love him and yet.... I can't seem to be away from him without feeling an ache in my chest, all thoughts jump directly to him, like he's embedded in me. And yet... I don't love him." He lowers his head, gaze at his lap.
"Gaara," Shikamaru switches places with Naruto, a hand comes out to caress the red heads back. "you don't have to force yourself to love someone if you're confused about what you're feeling for them, and you sure as hell don't have to sleep with him if you don't want to. Just... feel your way through it, take your time."
"Yeah! Or at least hold out for that third date." Chimes Naruto.
"Mm." He wonders outloud to himself. I just wish it would stop feeling like I'm running out of time. Like everything is gonna go away from me and I'll be left with nothing. So why not rush... why not force myself to feel everything all at once. I don't have time to sit on my hands and wait like everyone else does. I want answers, I want action... I want that change.
Shoving Shikamaru from his former place on the couch, Naruto wraps an arm around his friend leaning his head on the boys shoulder. "How 'bout I tell you a story, maybe you can get some tips of how to have fun with him without... you know, going all the way."
Gaara raises a hairless brow as if to say 'I'm listening.'
"Right." He beams with the memory rushing to his brain. "It happened last winter around Christmas. Sasuke and me were at his house helping with the decorating. His parents were out so it was just us and his brother..."
......Flash Back......
Itachi returns into the spacious living room of the Uchiha home carrying a box of bulbs; the jingling of small bells can also be heard from within the box. He sets it carefully enough on the couch before slicing through the aged ducked tape with a box cutter. Removing the bells from atop the bulbs, he sets them down on the coffee table that's already been overwhelmed with garland and reef. Bulbs removed from the box, the older male removes them from their boxes then places them on the tree. They always use colored lights, no exceptions says their mother. So the bulbs have to be white- a frosted white so the color bounces off of them. Itachi thought the tree looked pretty homely, but he never missed out on decorating it.
"Are you putting the bells on the reef?" Asks the Uzumaki child wrapping them up in his arms giving them a rapid shake filling the air with tons and tons of jingles. He moved about the room like an Indian doing a native dance.
"Yes." Replies the older male. "First get the rest of the lights from the attic, Naruto you go with him." He snags the male by his festive Frosty the Snowman sweater to stop the boys dancing.
"You got it!" He flashes the older boy a killer grin, always happy to help when he could.
The two travel up the stairs, the wooden floor creaking beneath their trip as they go. Sasuke turns a corner in the hall, grabs the step ladder then sets it up beneath the overhead attic door.
"Want me to hold it steady?" Asks Naruto.
Making a face, Sasuke says. "Its only two steps." Walking up the ladder he pulls on the string to the attic. "Watch out." He says over his shoulder.
Naruto takes a step to the left watching as the stairs fall down before him. Following after Sasuke, who hops off the ladder then travels up into the attic he hangs out at the opening while his eyes take in the room. Its really big up here, the Uchiha's could use it as a fifth bedroom if they wanted to.
"Lights," Sasuke reminds himself as he looks around for the box. Spotting a large one in the corner of the room, he heads over to it.
Naruto watches as his boyfriend leans over the box in the way of Sasuke's goal, the bluenet's cute butt showing off its grabable figure through the jeans. The blond boy couldn't resist, sneaking up behind his boyfriend he reaches his hands out for him.
"Naruto give me a hand." Sasuke says, so unexpecting of what was about to happen next.
Itachi looks up at the ceiling when two loud thumps sound. "Be careful Sasuke." He calls to them.
"We are!" Sasuke calls back quickly while glaring at Naruto whose decided to use him as an arm chair. "What are you doing?" He asks in a low tone should their voices carry downstairs.
Hand sliding up the bluenet's shirt, Naruto scoots back over the other males hips placing kisses on the exposed skin. He smirks to himself when Sasuke shuddered beneath his lips. Time to turn up the heat. Inching fingers saught out a hardening nipple catching it between his middle and index finger while the pad of his thumb brushes idly back and forth Naruto's tongue makes itself busy rimming his boyfriends belly button, flickering in and out of the dip in the males stomach like his member would, had they been joined at the hips. Tilting his head back Sasuke lets out a low sigh of approval when he was so ready to knock the boy out the entrance just a moment ago. Try as he might not to get hard, Sasuke was bullied into it when Naruto's canine's scissored a bit of his skin causing him to cry out from pain of both the cut and Naruto licking the blood away.
Pushing on the blond's shoulder with the hand that wasn't trying to claw its way through the hardwood floor. Naruto snickered before placing chaste kisses down along the revealing path he's creating by pushing open and pulling down Sasuke's jeans. The Uchiha boy's stomach clenched with excitement when Naruto's chin bumped the base of his quickly hardening erection. Mouth open, when low enough, Naruto encloses his lips around the hot flesh the tip of his tongue traveling up along the shaft as his head moves; he kept his smile down when Sasuke moaned loud enough to have to slap a hand over his mouth when Naruto's index traced the exposed side of his need. His boyfriend licked feverishly at the weeping head he'd found at the end of his journey. His blue eyes opening to glance at the source of the scratching sounds beside them, finding that they were only Sasuke's nails on the floor. Tongue swirling around the head he lowers it down over the entire-....
"Naruto," Gaara cuts through the story. "How does that help me at all? I'm not Sasuke, I couldn't feel what you were doing to immitate it."
"Well sure!" Reaching out he says. "Gimme me a finger."
Shikamaru was about to sit back and enjoy a show when Gaara raised his hand, but from the side of his eyes he saw someone peeking at the whole scene. "Uuhh, Naruto.." He tries to get the males attention.
"Its simple, just do like you feel me doing okay?" Says the blond.
Shikamaru's eyes widen when Gaara's finger presses into Naruto's mouth; someone else was enjoying the show as well. "Naruto!" He calls out before shoving him off the couch.
Gaara pulled his finger back so quickly Naruto chomped down on it drawing blood.
"Crap, I'm sorry." He says to his friend then turns to Shikamaru. "What the hell is your problem!"
Ignorning the males sprayed anger, Shikamaru cocks his head to the side. Confused Naruto looks over at his grandfather who's watching the three of them with intense interest.
"Grampa!!! What the hell!"
Jiraiya only holds his hands up in defense. "Don't mind me, I'm just keeping an eye out like your parents said."
"I don't believe this guy," mutters the blond. "Watching us like my par-... you know I'm beginning to wonder about you." He takes Gaara's un-injuried hand then leads him to the bathroom to clean it up. "I'm sorry." He says while using the first-aid kit on the boy.
Watching Naruto clean and bandage the bite, he wondered if Sasuke had a scar on him when he got bit. "Its alright, it wasn't your fault."
"Yeah but.... listen Gaara, you seriously should wait to sleep with the guy. I know you like him and so do I but, sometimes people weren't meant to be quick to do those sorts of things."
Gaara grinned at the boy hearing the concern in his voice. He figured this is what Lee would do whenever someone showed they cared for him. He's seen it eleven times.
Horrified, Naruto asks in a shaken tone. "What are you doing? What's with that face- I said I was sorry."
"Right, I should show less teeth." Gaara mutters to himself. Closing his mouth altogether he offers a small smile.
Uncomfortable, Naruto laughs before pulling the boy into a hug. "Well, whatever."
"Aaaw," Shikamaru drawls at the door before joining in on the hug.
Such a cozy moment, at least until Gaara asks.
"Are you gonna sleep with me or not?"
Naruto sank to the floor defeated. Shikamaru placed a hand atop the boys head. "Well Gaara, you've managed to top last years 'weird things my best friend says list'."

"Young man please!" Shouts the woman from behind the counter.
It didn't matter either way the two boys heard Kiba calling them and from across the street they look through the window of the shop spotting the other two members of their little foursome. Kiba gestures for them to come over to them but Neji shakes his head as Sasuke holds up a small white box for them to see. Not about to take 'no' for an answer, Kiba flips them off then again gestures for them to come over. Neji and Sasuke begin talking to each other at which point Sasuke hands the Hyuuga boy the box then starts across the street towards the cafe. Neji watched for a moment, then continued down the street. Once inside Sasuke heads for the counter ordering a large cocoa to go, pacing over to the table once it was handed to him.
"What the hell is so important?" He asks looking bitterly at Kiba.
Grinning the Inuzuka boy says with all the sarcastic love in the world. "Hi."
Glaring, Sasuke stands. "I'm out of here."
Laughing, Kiba stands as well, his drink long since finished. "Sasuke wait, I was just joking."
Lee picks up his drink, popping a cap on top of it before heading out the door after the two. The three of them are walking down the street back to their neighborhood, or at least to Lee's and Sasuke's since Kiba lives in the other direction- he's spending the night at the Maito home.
"What's up with you two? What was in the box?" Asks Kiba after a while.
"Dango- my brother wanted some." Explains Sasuke. Handing his drink to Lee, he unzips his coat a bit, then sucks his arms inside, reaching for the cup again he takes it, hands basking in the warm generating from the enclosed heat. He didn't wear his gloves because it wasn't cold out when he'd left but now that its starting to snow the temperature is beginning to drop. "Seriously, what did you call us over for?" Asks Sasuke.
"Seriously, hi." Replies Kiba.
Sasuke makes an agitated sound but sips his chocolate ready for a change of subject.
"Hey guess what," Kiba says. "Lee's thinking about having sex." He drops an arm around said males shoulders.
"With who?"
"Nobody! I said I was kissing," Lee explains. "Besides, even if I was planning on doing that I'm not sure if its something I really wanna talk about."
"Why not?" The other two say in unison.
With a shrug, Lee drops his cup into a trash can. "Because.... Its embarrassing and- and whoever has a good first time."
"I did." They again both say at the same time.
"At least there's something to look forward to, pressure to be good." He says sarcastically.
"Tch. Sex is easy." Says Kiba. "Especially if you're on top."
Shaking his head, Sasuke says. "I prefer bottom, you don't have to do much to get off."
"You have too much adjustments to make when you're on the bottom, too many commands to give out."
"Since when?"
Glaring daggers now, Kiba goes on to say. "Because you're always with that whole 'right there', or 'harder' when you could just be taking the command. Thrusting in is just a hip movement away."
"Assuming that makes any sense-..." Says Sasuke.
Lee listens to the two argue about positions wondering which would be best for someone like him. On the one hand, he's really good at taking direction but on the other hand he doesn't wanna hurt Gaara and if Sex Ed. was any kind of helper, the first time penatration really hurts. So many things to consider and he hasn't even had a first date yet. What a predicament. He wonders if Gaara is thinking about it as well.
At the Uzumaki home. Naruto's family has two traditions over the holidays. 1. Endless supply of cookies and 2. Always watch that American movie 'A Christmas story', and because Gaara and Shikamaru were there the first time it became tradition they are always invited over every year to watch it with the family. So this year is no exception, only this year his parents decided to do some last minute shopping and are out, so the three boys are technically home alone since Naruto's grandfather, Jiraiya, has fallen into a drunken egg nog sleep in the arm chair. The room is moderately silent while they watch, minus Naruto cracking up at his favorite parts. He just loves when Randy cries about not being able to put his arms down. It gets him everytime and of course his beloved "Ohhh fuudge" line. Gaara has been nursing a ginger bread cookie for a half hour while thinking about Lee. He's certain the male said that they are lovers and yet he hasn't taken him out on a date yet. He was seriously beginning to wonder if Lee was messing with him.
Pausing the DVD Naruto stands up. "Anyone gotta go to the bathroom?"
"Not me." Replies Shikamaru, whose been counting the colored lights on the tree while half paying attention to the movie.
"Gaara?"
He doesn't answer.
"Gaara!" Snaps Naruto.
Looking at the red head, Shikamaru smirks. "Naruto, don't you know?"
"No, what?" He sits down on the couch looking from one friend to another. "What should I know?"
"Gaara's not with us anymore, he's cruising the lane of mental passion with his boyfriend Lee."
Looking at Gaara, eyes wide he says. "Seriously?"
The two begin to laugh.
Blinking, Gaara looks at them then says in an even voice. "I need one of you to have sex with me."
Naruto was knocked on his head to the floor. Shikamaru looked intriuged scooting a bit closer to the drab male.
"Okay." He answers.
"Shikamaru!" Retrieving himself from the floor, Naruto sits between the two hot blooded males. "Gaara, what are you nuts? What about Lee?"
"That's the whole point. I need to practice so that when we have sex I get it right."
Tossing a look at his grandfather, Naruto then looks back at Gaara. "Ssshhh. Gaara, you can't just have sex with someone, not everyone is the same."
"I know the basics; stick it in, pull it out, repeat." His eyes are fixed on the television.
Naruto laughs uncomfortably. Next year he's gonna make friends with people a little less blunt. "There's more to it than that, and besides.... why are you thinking about se-... that anyway? You're so young! And you haven't even been on a single date with him."
"Why does that matter?"
"Because! You gotta give this stuff time man... do you even love Lee?"
Gaara thought that over. "There are too many ways to love somebody."
Taken aback, Naruto shakes his head. "No, no there isn't... there are only two. There's love like me and Sasuke and then there's love like what I have for you two."
Again, Gaara thinks for a bit. "No. What I feel for Lee is neither of those.... its more like a.... like a weird love. Because I don't love him and yet.... I can't seem to be away from him without feeling an ache in my chest, all thoughts jump directly to him, like he's embedded in me. And yet... I don't love him." He lowers his head, gaze at his lap.
"Gaara," Shikamaru switches places with Naruto, a hand comes out to caress the red heads back. "you don't have to force yourself to love someone if you're confused about what you're feeling for them, and you sure as hell don't have to sleep with him if you don't want to. Just... feel your way through it, take your time."
"Yeah! Or at least hold out for that third date." Chimes Naruto.
"Mm." He wonders outloud to himself. I just wish it would stop feeling like I'm running out of time. Like everything is gonna go away from me and I'll be left with nothing. So why not rush... why not force myself to feel everything all at once. I don't have time to sit on my hands and wait like everyone else does. I want answers, I want action... I want that change.
Shoving Shikamaru from his former place on the couch, Naruto wraps an arm around his friend leaning his head on the boys shoulder. "How 'bout I tell you a story, maybe you can get some tips of how to have fun with him without... you know, going all the way."
Gaara raises a hairless brow as if to say 'I'm listening.'
"Right." He beams with the memory rushing to his brain. "It happened last winter around Christmas. Sasuke and me were at his house helping with the decorating. His parents were out so it was just us and his brother..."
......Flash Back......
Itachi returns into the spacious living room of the Uchiha home carrying a box of bulbs; the jingling of small bells can also be heard from within the box. He sets it carefully enough on the couch before slicing through the aged ducked tape with a box cutter. Removing the bells from atop the bulbs, he sets them down on the coffee table that's already been overwhelmed with garland and reef. Bulbs removed from the box, the older male removes them from their boxes then places them on the tree. They always use colored lights, no exceptions says their mother. So the bulbs have to be white- a frosted white so the color bounces off of them. Itachi thought the tree looked pretty homely, but he never missed out on decorating it.
"Are you putting the bells on the reef?" Asks the Uzumaki child wrapping them up in his arms giving them a rapid shake filling the air with tons and tons of jingles. He moved about the room like an Indian doing a native dance.
"Yes." Replies the older male. "First get the rest of the lights from the attic, Naruto you go with him." He snags the male by his festive Frosty the Snowman sweater to stop the boys dancing.
"You got it!" He flashes the older boy a killer grin, always happy to help when he could.
The two travel up the stairs, the wooden floor creaking beneath their trip as they go. Sasuke turns a corner in the hall, grabs the step ladder then sets it up beneath the overhead attic door.
"Want me to hold it steady?" Asks Naruto.
Making a face, Sasuke says. "Its only two steps." Walking up the ladder he pulls on the string to the attic. "Watch out." He says over his shoulder.
Naruto takes a step to the left watching as the stairs fall down before him. Following after Sasuke, who hops off the ladder then travels up into the attic he hangs out at the opening while his eyes take in the room. Its really big up here, the Uchiha's could use it as a fifth bedroom if they wanted to.
"Lights," Sasuke reminds himself as he looks around for the box. Spotting a large one in the corner of the room, he heads over to it.
Naruto watches as his boyfriend leans over the box in the way of Sasuke's goal, the bluenet's cute butt showing off its grabable figure through the jeans. The blond boy couldn't resist, sneaking up behind his boyfriend he reaches his hands out for him.
"Naruto give me a hand." Sasuke says, so unexpecting of what was about to happen next.
Itachi looks up at the ceiling when two loud thumps sound. "Be careful Sasuke." He calls to them.
"We are!" Sasuke calls back quickly while glaring at Naruto whose decided to use him as an arm chair. "What are you doing?" He asks in a low tone should their voices carry downstairs.
Hand sliding up the bluenet's shirt, Naruto scoots back over the other males hips placing kisses on the exposed skin. He smirks to himself when Sasuke shuddered beneath his lips. Time to turn up the heat. Inching fingers saught out a hardening nipple catching it between his middle and index finger while the pad of his thumb brushes idly back and forth Naruto's tongue makes itself busy rimming his boyfriends belly button, flickering in and out of the dip in the males stomach like his member would, had they been joined at the hips. Tilting his head back Sasuke lets out a low sigh of approval when he was so ready to knock the boy out the entrance just a moment ago. Try as he might not to get hard, Sasuke was bullied into it when Naruto's canine's scissored a bit of his skin causing him to cry out from pain of both the cut and Naruto licking the blood away.
Pushing on the blond's shoulder with the hand that wasn't trying to claw its way through the hardwood floor. Naruto snickered before placing chaste kisses down along the revealing path he's creating by pushing open and pulling down Sasuke's jeans. The Uchiha boy's stomach clenched with excitement when Naruto's chin bumped the base of his quickly hardening erection. Mouth open, when low enough, Naruto encloses his lips around the hot flesh the tip of his tongue traveling up along the shaft as his head moves; he kept his smile down when Sasuke moaned loud enough to have to slap a hand over his mouth when Naruto's index traced the exposed side of his need. His boyfriend licked feverishly at the weeping head he'd found at the end of his journey. His blue eyes opening to glance at the source of the scratching sounds beside them, finding that they were only Sasuke's nails on the floor. Tongue swirling around the head he lowers it down over the entire-....
"Naruto," Gaara cuts through the story. "How does that help me at all? I'm not Sasuke, I couldn't feel what you were doing to immitate it."
"Well sure!" Reaching out he says. "Gimme me a finger."
Shikamaru was about to sit back and enjoy a show when Gaara raised his hand, but from the side of his eyes he saw someone peeking at the whole scene. "Uuhh, Naruto.." He tries to get the males attention.
"Its simple, just do like you feel me doing okay?" Says the blond.
Shikamaru's eyes widen when Gaara's finger presses into Naruto's mouth; someone else was enjoying the show as well. "Naruto!" He calls out before shoving him off the couch.
Gaara pulled his finger back so quickly Naruto chomped down on it drawing blood.
"Crap, I'm sorry." He says to his friend then turns to Shikamaru. "What the hell is your problem!"
Ignorning the males sprayed anger, Shikamaru cocks his head to the side. Confused Naruto looks over at his grandfather who's watching the three of them with intense interest.
"Grampa!!! What the hell!"
Jiraiya only holds his hands up in defense. "Don't mind me, I'm just keeping an eye out like your parents said."
"I don't believe this guy," mutters the blond. "Watching us like my par-... you know I'm beginning to wonder about you." He takes Gaara's un-injuried hand then leads him to the bathroom to clean it up. "I'm sorry." He says while using the first-aid kit on the boy.
Watching Naruto clean and bandage the bite, he wondered if Sasuke had a scar on him when he got bit. "Its alright, it wasn't your fault."
"Yeah but.... listen Gaara, you seriously should wait to sleep with the guy. I know you like him and so do I but, sometimes people weren't meant to be quick to do those sorts of things."
Gaara grinned at the boy hearing the concern in his voice. He figured this is what Lee would do whenever someone showed they cared for him. He's seen it eleven times.
Horrified, Naruto asks in a shaken tone. "What are you doing? What's with that face- I said I was sorry."
"Right, I should show less teeth." Gaara mutters to himself. Closing his mouth altogether he offers a small smile.
Uncomfortable, Naruto laughs before pulling the boy into a hug. "Well, whatever."
"Aaaw," Shikamaru drawls at the door before joining in on the hug.
Such a cozy moment, at least until Gaara asks.
"Are you gonna sleep with me or not?"
Naruto sank to the floor defeated. Shikamaru placed a hand atop the boys head. "Well Gaara, you've managed to top last years 'weird things my best friend says list'."
