Crazy Love

"Hm... alright," Lee said softly and smiled. Shukaku sighed happily adverting them having to go near the water and had the sand return to Gaara's hands.



Gaara blushed a little under his armor as he reached out and took Lee's hand leading him over to the green house. He lead Lee inside and blinked looking around at all the plants and vines everywhere. "Wow.." He whispered and carefully stepped over a few vines.



Lee felt a little confused why Gaara said wow. They were just normal plants. Then after thinking about it he smiled. "You do not get to see so many colorful plants in Suna huh?" He asked softly and followed the redhead. Actually it was quite cold in the green house, the temperature was monitored so the outside heat was boiling compared to the comfortable seventy it was in the plant room.



Gaara started to feel to warm in his sand armor and rubbed his arm getting a little annoyed. "No not really..cacti and a few trees is all I get to see." He replied and knelt down in front of a small flower looking at it.



"I have a garden in my back yard," Lee said leaning against a small wall with vines on it watching Gaara. "I mean if you are bored you can go out there," He added smiling at the redhead. 'He is so cute..' Inner Lee thought while the real one looked Gaara up and down and he shook his head scolding his mind and accidently tripping on the vines and falling.



Gaara gasped and stood up putting his hands on Lee's chest to try and stop his fall only to slip on the vines and ended up falling back as well. He quickly turned his gourd to sand so they both landed on that instead of the hard ground. He frowned a little feeling his armor had cracked in random places then looked at Lee. "A-Are you ok?" He asked blushing a little since Lee had fallen on him.



Lee turned red and quickly scrambled off Gaara out of reaction. "S-Sorry!" He yelled out then rubbed the back of his head. "Y-Yeah I would have been fine if you let me fall.. are you ok..?" He asked softly looking at a large crack in the sand armor across Gaara's cheek.



Gaara blinked and let out a small laugh. "Lee...its ok you didn't harm me at all. Even though you are taller you're not very heavy so its fine." He replied softly.



Lee thought for a moment and couldn't help himself. Gently he pulled Gaara until he was sitting up from the sand. Setting his hand on the redhead's cheek he used his thumb and pressed in on the crack, breaking it more. Shukaku who was now on the defensive seemed confused. What was Lee doing? After a moment the leaf ninja had cracked the sand armor enough to gently push it down from the redhead's smooth skin.



Gaara's eyes widened at this and he lifted his hand not sure if he should move Lee's away or not confused on what he was doing to the armor. He started to blush feeling the gentle touch on his skin and he looked up at older male's eyes. 'Lee...'



Lee smiled and tilted his head as he slowly picked away every part of the sand armor. Once he had un covered Gaara's lips he leaned in and shyly kissed him whispering. "I like seeing the real you more than this silly armor.."



Gaara blushed darker and thought for a moment before closing his eyes and shyly leaning into Lee a little as his armor cracked then slide off him like water. He opened his eyes half way when the armor was off him and rubbed his elbow. "I hope you know to remove my armor shows I trust you a whole hell of a lot.." He whispered awkwardly.



"I am happy you trust me.. because you should know I would never hurt you.. I would protect you with my life.. no matter what.." Lee said in a soft loving voice as he stroked Gaara's cheek as lovingly as he could.



The young Jinchuuriki allowed himself to smile at this then closed his eyes enjoying the gentle touch. "...You really want to protect me?" He asked and felt himself start to relax a little.



"Of course I do... Gaara-kun.. I know you do not want to say it yet.. but as I said.. I am always positive about my feelings for someone.. I love you and I am not taking that back.. I do not have a crush on you.. I want to be by your side always.." Lee said softly and leaned in pecking Gaara on the lips lightly again.



Gaara felt his heart beat faster hearing those words and blushed deeply as he shyly kissed the older male before he could pull away. 'H-How can he be so sure about all this? I am still trying so hard to figure everything out..'



'Lee is the determined type that is why...' Shukaku pointed out then kept quiet again letting them enjoy themselves. Lee wrapped his arms tightly around the smaller boy and pulled him close kissing him deeply before pulling back and whispering, "Do not ever leave me..ok?"



Gaara stiffened up for a moment then slowly relaxed and awkwardly wrapped his arms around the leaf ninja in a hug. "What's going to happen when I go back to Suna though.." He asked wincing a little and tightening his arms around Lee.



"I can visit you.." Lee said then whispered under his breath. "And if we last long enough.. maybe move there..?" He whispered having high hopes for their relationship to work out perfectly.



"You plan to visit me all the way in Suna?" Gaara asked and blushed as he rested his chin on Lee's shoulder and closed his eyes trying to get used to being so close to someone. "Nani? I didn't catch what else you said."



"Yes I do.. and er.. the last part is not important.." Lee said a little awkwardly before standing up and holding Gaara tightly in his arms. "How about we go home and relax in my garden.. it is more private," Lee said softly.



Gaara turned a dark red and set his hands on Lee's shoulders. "L-Lee! W-What are you d-doing p-put me down this is embarrassing!" The young Jinchuuriki yelled.



Blinking the leaf ninja inquired, "Why should I do that..?" Then he started happily walking out of the green house, leaving the sand behind on the grassy ground.



Gaara gapped at him and struggled a little in his arms. "W-Well uh...t-this is a-awkward.." The sand ninja stuttered and looked down his face still a dark red.



"Stop squirming I might drop you.." Lee complained and nuzzled the redhead in his arms. "Then.. may I kiss you in public...?" He asked going to make a deal with Gaara. If they could kiss in public he would not carry the redhead at that moment.



Gaara looked up at Lee surprised and awkwardly set his head on Lee's shoulder and folded his arms. "Um..w-why would you want to? P-People might start treating you differently.." He replied.



"I do not care what other people think.. if they cannot accept me being with you now then they are not good people.." Lee stated simply and set Gaara down, leaning into him. "Do you think differently about it?"



"You set me down right when I start to get used to it?" Gaara asked a little playfully and tilted his head looking up at him. "Well after you freaking out when I told Naruto we were mates I had thought you wanted us being together a secret."



"I just was not expecting you to blurt it out like that is all. I do not mind telling people.." Lee said and rubbed the back of his head feeling like an idiot. Did he really give Gaara the wrong impression before? "I am not embarrassed to have you as my boyfriend.." He said and then rubbed his arm. "And I only set you down because my arm hurt.." He said and pulled his spandex out a little so he could see down to his arm making sure the bandages here not bleeding. "I am still sore from before.. sorry."



Gaara frowned and got onto his tip toes trying to see. "Here let me take a look." He said reaching up to tug at the spandex. "I am glad I don't embarrass you...I don't understand a lot about dating so I worry I am doing everything wrong.."



Lee frowned a little, he still did not like showing Gaara his scars. But after a sigh he gently pulled his spandex off wincing when he pulled his arm out of it and held it out to Gaara. "Here..."



Gaara blushed looking at him then placed his hands lightly on Lee's arm checking the wrappings to make sure his wound did not reopen. "Why the frown?" He asked glancing up at Lee's face before looking back at his arm. "Well your ok you are not bleeding." He said tightening the wrappings again.



"I hate showing my scars to you... you look so beautiful and perfect.. and I am riddled with scars.." Lee said pulling back from the redhead going to put his spandex back on.



The redhead blushed a dark red and reached out setting his hand on Lee's bare chest. "I t-think your really handsome.." He said and stepped back starting to feel shy again. "You..think I'm beautiful?" He asked after a moment rubbing his elbow again.



Lee's heart skipped a beat when Gaara's hand touched his chest, no one had ever actually touched his skin on his chest besides nurse when they would fix him up, it was an odd feeling that brought heat to his face. Coughing awkwardly he pulled the spandex back on and moved his arm a little until it got comfortable. "Yes you are beautiful.. and handsome.. and cute.." Lee said looking at the ground.



Gaara's cheeks turned a dark red again and he looked down at his shoes. "B-But I have the Tanuki rings around my e-eyes..and red hair which I have to use my sand to tone down on missions so no one spots me and my siblings.. I thought I was uh..scary looking." He said and moved to rest his back on a tree.



"Your Tanuki rings just show off your beautiful green eyes better.. and your red hair is such a youthful color.." Lee stated and smiled. "You never once have ever looked scary to me, just a bit lost before.." He scooted closer to Gaara. "Now.. you saying I am handsome? No.. people call me weird constantly.. about my eye brows and eyes and a lot of things.." Lee said sighing softly.



Gaara smiled a little and reached up to lightly touch one of Lee's eye brows. "I like your eye brows...and yeah I do think you're really handsome.." The redhead said lowering his hand and cursing himself for blushing so much. He had never blushed so much in his life, Lee was really having a big effect on him.



"You.. do...?" Lee asked and felt his heart skip a beat again. Gaara was so cute and sweet. "That is very sweet of you..." Lee said and couldn't help himself, he leaned in and kissed Gaara softly smiling. "Then we agree, both of us are handsome to each other..?"



Gaara shyly kissed back and gazed at the older male when he pulled away. "Yeah...we are mates after all.." He replied and smiled a little wider feeling happier being so close to Lee.



Lee blinked then smiled, "I am getting used to you calling us that.." He said and wrapped his arm around Gaara, placing a hand under his chin and tilting it up, Giving him another light peck he said, "Do you want to go back home now..?" He asked softly.



Gaara blushed deeper and gave a small node. "Yeah.. I would like to see your garden." He replied and tried hard to stop gazing into the older males eyes.
