Hidden Love

Gaara blushed faintly and looked down at the floor. "Um..wait what do you mean help? This dress thing can't be to hard to get out of. I will let you stay in here if you turn around." He muttered and looked down at the corset. 'This is awkward..' He thought.

 

Lee gulped looking as him and he moved closer. “But.. I do not want to take my eyes off of you for one second...” Lee complained and he reached up gently starting to untie the corset for Gaara.

 

Gaara blushed darker and rubbed his elbow again. "Um o-ok you can help me with the c-corset but then you er...need to turn around ok?" He asked and lifted his arms up so Lee could take it off. "That thing has been making it so hard to breath."

 

Lee slipped it off of the redhead but then he gently kissed the exposed flesh on his back. “Please do not push me away.. I have see all of you...” He said while finishing taking off the top parts of the dress and moving onto the bottom skirt part.

 

Gaara felt his heart beat faster and awkwardly folded his arms over his chest. "I a-am not pushing you away..." He mumbled and kept kept his gaze on the floor. 'Is he trying to make me embarrassed? Why is he so close..' He thought and glanced at the door hoping no one would walk in.

 

“Then stop telling me to stop helping.. I missed you so much you know.. I was so upset I could not even look at you without receiving dirty looks from anyone around you...” Lee whispered into Gaara's ear and he let the shirt piece fall before he unwillingly pulled away and went over getting Gaara's other clothing.

 

Gaara shivered and started to rub his arms trying to get warm. "Brr its really cold in here! Anko needs to get that heater fixed." He complained and glanced at the mirror glad to see all his bruises had healed since his father was leaving him alone.

 

Lee come over and he stopped, glancing in the mirror where Gaara was looking and he wrapped his arms lightly around the boy. “You are the only one for me... that is why I reacted why I did... I did not want him hurting you...” Lee whispered before he started to tug Gaara's shirt on seeing he was cold.

 

Gaara relaxed a little from the hug and sweat dropped when he suddenly couldn't see cause of the shirt. "Wha? I can dress myself you know.." He muttered and pulled his shirt down once it was on and picked up his sweat shirt.

 

Lee watched him put the sweat shirt on and then he laughed a little holding the redhead's pants out to him. “Here mr. I can dress myself...” He said in a soft voice before going over getting his clothes from his area, slowly pulling off the costume around him.

 

Gaara pulled on his pants and then blushed looking at Lee. 'Lee is so ho-GAH mind!' He shook hisc head to clear his thoughts and pulled his hat out of his sweat shirt, after putting it on he pulled up his hood and folded his arms. "It's gonna snow tonight..so we should all pick something to do in doors...maybe all four of us could go see a movie."

“Which four?” Lee inquired not really sure who Gaara was talking about. He slipped on his pants then turned around while pulling his shirt on, blinking to see the redhead blushing. “Are you getting sick?” he asked moving over, resting his hand on the smaller boy's forehead to take his temperature.

 

"You, Sasuke, Naruto and me." Gaara said then blushed darker when Lee's hand was placed on his forehead. "N-No I’m fine...its just kind of cold here in.." He muttered and pulled back. 'He is really being caring..it's so odd to have someone act like this..'

 

“Oh.. okay sorry and” Lee's lips turned up into a grin forgetting to put his shirt on while he pulled Gaara into a tight embrace. “Sure it will be a double date!” Lee said not knowing Naruto and Sasuke were not dating.

 

Gaara turned red and tried hard not to let his mind go into the gutter. "N-No s-shirt!" He yelled and pushed him back a little. "A-and Naruto and Sasuke are not together...they are kinda in a 'I hate you but not really but I am still gonna yell at you stage." He explained.

 

“Oh... well they look like they are dating going around arguing and getting awkward around each other all the time,” Lee said blinking before laughing and he stuck a pose. “What? Do you not think I am sexy anymore Gaa-ra-kun?”

 

Gaara looked down at the floor getting embarrassed. "I w-wouldn't be blushing if I d-didn't um...think you w-were.." He muttered then pulled on his boots. "Ok l-lets go." He said and handed Lee his shirt.

 

Lee rolled his eyes and took the shirt, “I know silly,” He said and he slipped on his shirt then his jacket and shoes. When he was done changing they both said good bye to everyone and slipped outside to see Sasuke right in Naruto's face. “And I say ninjas are not real... they are assassins from ancient Japan...” He growled out arguing with Naruto about something stupid again.

 

Gaara couldn't help but smirk and pulled out his phone to check the time. "Alright we are all going to see a movie so can you two stop fighting for a minute?" He asked and Naruto grinned. "Yeah sure! Movie sounds great!" He said pushing Sasuke out of his face and walking over to Gaara and Lee. "Is Bushy-Brows gonna drive us?" He asked giving puppy dog eyes to the older male.

 

Lee blinked then nodded. “I brought my car, but be careful, I do not want it getting dirty again, you spilled your milkshake last time you were in it Naruto,” Lee said before wrapping his arm around Gaara and he started to walk down the steps and out to the parking lot. Sasuke pouted at being pushed away but he folded his arms over his chest and walked down the steps behind the two, not looking at Naruto.

 

Naruto sat on the railing and slide down it to the bottom of the stairs. "I win!" He yelled then grinned again as he waved at them. "I don't think we were racing Naruto.." Gaara said then slipped out of Lee's grip and ran past the bold. "But now we are!" He yelled and made his way to the car. "HEY!" Naruto yelled and ran after him.

 

“Hey you two!” Lee yelled laughing and he ran after them. They all got to the car before Sasuke who was taking him time and when the raven finally got in Lee looked back at him and Naruto saying. “It is about time, I was about to have to get a hip replacement Sasuke,” but the Uchiha was being dull now as usual, buckling himself in before looking out of the window. “Awww I know who is now being the grumpy one of our group,” Lee called out while starting the car.

 

Gaara put his seat belt on and looked back at Sasuke and Naruto. "Play nice kids." He said smirking and blond stuck out his tongue. "Ok mom." Naruto relied laughing and put on his seat belt as well and folded his arms behind his head.

 

Lee drove them all to the movie theaters and then picked out one of the comedy movies. “I will pay for snacks since Gaara bought the movie, what do you guys want?” He inquired and Sasuke just grabbed a water bottle while Lee started ordering popcorn and candy for him and Gaara.

 

Gaara held the popcorn when Lee handed to him and then picked up a piece and playfully stuck it down the back of Lee's shirt as he was paying. "Can you get me a root beer to?" He asked and looked over at Naruto who was buying candy and pop corn as well. "Woo food!" Naruto said getting hyper again.

 

“Ah hey!” He yelled then gave an apologetic smile to the lady helping him out and he ordered a root beer. Once he got everything he set the root beer down and pulled the popcorn out of the back of his shirt. “Gaara-kun you are being evil today,” He mumbled before moving close to him while they walked into the theater. “Great.. Naruto with Sugar...” Sasuke mumbled as he followed the group of hyper boys into the quiet theater.

 

Gaara laughed a little and picked a seat near the middle, he set the cup in the drink holder and looked around. "There is not that many people..that’s odd." He commented and then twitched when Naruto pushed his hood down over his eyes as he walked by. "Stop doing that." He whined and Naruto chuckled. "Aw but its funny." The blond said sitting a few seats down.

 

“The movie has been out for awhile,” Lee told Naruto then he tugged down Gaara's hood kissing him quickly. “It is funny Gaara-kun,” He said with a smirk before sitting next to him while Sasuke set next to Naruto. “Or the funny isn't that funny..” Sasuke mumbled.

 

Gaara blushed from the kiss and looked down shyly. "I d-don't like being blinded, then I can't block if Naruto try;s to steal my hat." He muttered and folded his arms after pulling his hood back up. Naruto laughed and looked at Sasuke. "Wha? Huh?"

 

“Comedies are never funny when people say they are,” Sasuke told Naruto and then he sighed as the lights dimmed telling the audience to sit down. Lee sat down and he wrapped an arm around the redhead pulling him close to enjoy the movie with him, being a bit clingy and nuzzling the boy.

 

Gaara felt awkward being pulled so close and leaned back a little. 'This is really awkward..I mean we just kinda got back together..though we never really broke up even though it felt like it..' He thought and picked up some popcorn and playfully throw some at the older male. Naruto looked at them and smiled then reached into his pop corn only to blush when his hand touched Sasuke's.

 

Lee frowned a little and whispered, “do you not want me to be close?” While the movie started up and he moved his arm down not wrapping it around the boy and sighing getting a sip of his soda. 'I guess Gaara-kun really does think we broke up.. this is going to be hard.. we were barely together before this happened...' Sasuke on the other hand turned bright red and felt he wanted to be closer to the blond so he scooted a little their sides brushing and pulling his hand away. “S-sorry Naruto...” He grumbled trying to keep his eyes on the movie.

 

Gaara winced a little and looked back at the movie. "I'm sorry...I do.. it is just I am still kind of nervous..and I still need to talk to you about something.." He whispered and started to fiddle with the bracelet on his wrist. Naruto just shrugged at the other male and ate a bit of pop corn. "It's fine man.."

 

“Alright...” Lee said in response to Gaara. Halfway through the movie Naruto and Sasuke started bickering at each other again and Lee rolled his eyes sighing. “Do they ever stop...?” He asked himself while glancing over to Gaara and hesitantly wrapping his arm around his shoulders again.

 

Gaara stiffened up and then slowly relaxed and laid his head back on the older males arm. 'I hope we can get closer...but I am still worried..' He thought and stared at the screen, but then got annoyed when Naruto talked a little louder. "Just shut up Sasuke!" He snapped and Gaara growled and throw a handful of popcorn at him. "SHH!"

 

Sasuke laughed a little and stuck his tongue out at Naruto for getting in trouble, however they continued to bicker. But some while later Lee grew confused no longer hearing them arguing. “I am scared, what are they doing now?” He asked fearful his friends may have talked each other to death but when he glanced at them his eyes widened seeing Sasuke practically laying on Naruto because he was leaning into him, both of them kissing each other. “Uh.. Gaara-kun.. I thought you said they were not going out..” He muttered a little in shock at seeing the friends doing that in a theater.

 

Gaara blinked and looked over and sweat dropped. "Uh what are you guys doing?" He asked and Naruto pulled back blushing a bright red. "W-Wait! Uh..we are..dat-"

 

Sasuke became dark red and he moved back quickly happy no one else was in the theater as he yelled out, “We are not dating! N-Naruto.. uh.. we.. uh.. N-naruto.. he.. he forced himself on me! That is it! Naruto is the homosexual one and he was forcing m-me to kiss him!” Sasuke yelled out unwilling to accept the fact he himself was gay and he liked Naruto. “Uh huh... Naruto... he was forcing you to lean into him like that and wrap your arms around his neck..?” Lee questioned and Sasuke got even more flustered and stood up. “N-No! I...” He growled and covered his face. “Both of you shut up!” He yelled out highly embarrassed now as he started to move wanting to get out of the theater now.

 

Naruto frowned and crossed his arms. "Oh so I was forcing you? Ok you are to confusing! Ether you like me or you are just messing with me!" He snapped getting mad and looking down. Gaara sweat dropped and stood up to fallow the Uchiha. "Wait Sasuke." He said and then walked out of the theater and stood in front of him. "You alright? What's going on with you two?" He asked wanting to help him.

 

Sasuke frowned when he brought his hands down, tears obviously in his eyes as he shook, so embarrassed he was starting to panic. “I... I don't know! Naruto is... I care about him.. but he is so obnoxious! And... I can't.. being gay... I always have been.. but it is hard to hide.. I see how people treat the guys around school that are dating.. I can not handle that... I am tired of getting my ass kicked because if I even try to fight back I am the one getting in trouble..” Sasuke muttered out and he covered his face again. “I am even acting so weak right now I do not know what to do...”

 

Gaara looked up at him and then sighed and stepped forward and gave him a hug, something he hadn't done in years. "It's alright...Riku and I went through a lot of crap from people but if you stick with your friends you don't have worry about it...it seems Naruto cares a lot about you too he just hides those kind of feelings cause he keeps getting hurt.."

 

Sasuke took a deep breath and then he hugged his friend back. “I don't know... I probably just ruined it with what I yelled.. god Naruto must hate me even more now...” He muttered before he jumped hearing Lee and the blond coming out of the theater. “Eh? What are you talking about the ending was hilarious!” Lee yelled at Naruto laughing a little and then he stopped seeing the two raising an eye brow. Sasuke pulled back quickly and whipped his eyes, facing going back to emotionless but he gave Gaara a slightly pleading look, wanting them to go away so they could continue talking.

 

Gaara waved at hand at the two makes as they walked up. "Go to the arcade I need to speak with Sasuke so shoo." He said and grabbed Sasuke's arm starting to drag him off. "Wha? But's it's freezing out here! Hurry up!" He called and pulled out his wallet. "Hey go win Gaara something." He said smirking looking at Lee.

 

Lee frowned and he went to grab Gaara, “But Gaara-kun!” He yelled out but it was to later Gaara already dragged Sasuke away and around the corner. He pouted a little and took th dollar from Naruto. “Why do you not win some thing for Sasuke hm?” He asked in a teasing tone before walking into the arcade. Meanwhile Sasuke was leaning against a wall. “Thank you... and... I am sorry to be pushing my problems on you... I know you have problems in your own relationship right now..” Sasuke told Gaara in a soft tone.

 

Gaara folded his arms and pushed his hands into his sleeves feeling cold. "It's ok..your my friend..and I like helping my friends." He replied and blinked seeing that he could see his breath when he spoke. "Look..Naruto is a good guy and if you were to date him you would happy...I know it must be weird to be with a guy but I accepted I was gay a long time ago..so it wasn't to weird for me..."

 

“But... who would even be the woman in our relationship?! I mean it is obvious with you and Lee because hello there is a huge height difference and you act like a girl! But with me and Naruto.. we both are men... he is stubborn and I am too.. though I hate to admit it... I do not know how it would work.. shouldn't pairings be like to the extreme difference...?” Sasuke asked blushing a little looking at the floor, poking his fingers together. God it was awkward talking to Gaara about this.

 

"Well...not all couples are the same Sasuke...WHA! I do not act like a girl!" Gaara said blushing now and looked off to the side. "A-As I was saying not all couples are the same and once you are with someone you kind just..fall into the place you are meant to be it's hard to explain and I don't understand it all that well. But things work them selves out.." He said and then shivered more and moved to stand next to him. 'Coooold!' "Y-You can relax I am not going to repeat what you say to me to anyone."

 

“You do act like a girl around Lee always blushing and cuddling with him but me and Naruto... we just argue.. that is all we do...” He said before thinking to himself, 'but damn Naruto is sexy when he is angry and argu- nooo bad thoughts!' Then he swallowed hard and rubbed the back of his neck, “and I know.. I know... I just.. can you ask him for me??” Sasuke asked the younger male.

 

Gaara blushed darker and playfully pushed his shoulder. "Oh shut up! I do not." He said then let his shoulders slump as he relaxed. "Well Naruto gets angry easy...just be nice to him every once and awhile and soon he will be glomping you at random." He said then tilted his head. "Ask him what...?"

 

“Will you.. tell him I want to date him for me... I do not want to ask myself.. I am afraid he will just laugh at me thinking I am joking around... you saw what he said.. he thinks I am just messing with him...” Sasuke said a little awkward as he reached his hands out, grabbing onto Gaara's shoulders.

 

Gaara blinked in surprise as Sasuke grabbed his shoulders and his eyes widened a little. "Uh sure I guess...and he thinks you were messing cause you were saying he forced himself on you. He is still upset with Sai and is worrying people mess with him now..so don't try and lie if you like him."

 

“Sai is a jerk...” Sasuke muttered and he pulled back folding his arms over his chest. “Thank you...” He said then shivered a little. “Can we go to the arcade to get them now? I am getting cold...” He whined somewhat.

 

"I am freezing, I am skinny I don't do well in the col-" Gaara paused when he felt something wet land on his nose and glanced up to see it was snowing. "Snow..." He whispered and a peaceful expression appeared on his face as he got lost in his memories.

 

Sasuke blinked then smiled knowing Gaara loved the snow. “Yeah... snow... you and Lee should enjoy your night together... um.. after you ask Naruto for me we will walk back home by ourselves and let you and Lee get your own little free time okay?” Sasuke said lifting his hand up to catch a few of the flakes.

 

Gaara blushed faintly and shrugged. "Er...I guess.." He muttered and moved away from the wall and walked around the corner only to bump into someone. "Ow!" "Whoa slow down redhead." Naruto said laughing and then hide something behind his back when he glanced at Sasuke. Gaara looked at him then rolled his eyes. "Sasuke likes you and wants to go out..go have fun!" He said and shoved Naruto over to Sasuke but didn't notice the ice that the blond slipped on, the little fox plushie falling out of his hands and landing at Sasuke's feet.

 

Sasuke's eyes widened, “N-not like that Gaara!” He yelled out before leaned down and picking up the plushie then helping Naruto up. “I uh... here is your stuffed animal...” He muttered handing it back to Naruto a backing up a little from him. Then Lee came around the corner and grinned a little while blushing and holding up a small cat stuffed animal to Gaara. “Uh.. it took a bit but I got this for you... and this..” He said holding up a cat charm bracelet.

 

Naruto was blushing now and rubbed his neck. "S-Sasuke is that true..?" He asked then tossed the stuffed toy back to him and rubbed the back of his head. "It's um for you...as a sorry." He muttered looking off to the side. Gaara looked surprised and smiled a little taking the cat and bracelet. "...Thank you Lee-kun.." He said and pulled off the one on his wrist and put on the one Lee got him. "That's sweet.."

 

“O-oh.. it is for me..? Umm thank you and...” Sasuke leaned in hesitantly and placed a kiss on Naruto's lips before pulling back and giving a shaky nod. “Yes... I do like you.. I am just bad at this...” Lee laughed a little looking at the two new lovers and then he nodded leaning in and nuzzling Gaara. “You are welcome... do you like them..?”

 

Naruto blushed darker then couldn't help it and glomped the black haired male. "I am so happy now!" He yelled and the redhead laughed a little. "Told you he would be glomping you." Gaara said then playfully messed up Lee's hair. "Yeah..I have a soft spot for cats...we never did go get one." He said and looked over to look at the new couple. 'I have a feeling they are still going to argue about stupid things.' He thought with a sweat drop.

 

“A-ah Naruto get off we are in public!” He yelled but he could not help and nuzzle into the warm male feeling cold. “But hold me...” He added his words contradicting. Lee laughed before picking up Gaara. “Good... I wanted you to like them.. now come on lets get out of the cold, com on you two,” He said but Sasuke shook his head no. “I Uh... I think I am going to go play a game at Naruto's house,” He said trying to find an excuse to leave the two alone together so they can get comfortable again.

 

Naruto raised a eye brow and looked confused. "Wha? Will you make up your mind you are being confusing. But I guess we can walk to my house." He said shrugging and laughed when Lee picked up the redhead since Gaara had yelped. "You going to carry him home?" He asked. "P-Put me d-down!" Gaara stuttered blushing dark.

 

“Hmmm no just to the car..” Lee replied then waved, “alright you two suit yourselves, see you later?” He said and then he nuzzled the redhead's chest while carrying him off to the car. “J-just walk with me,” Sasuke said walking in the opposite direction of the couple.

 

Naruto waved back at Lee then scratched his cheek. "Er...can we hold hands or would that weird you out?" He asked walking beside him. Gaara pulled his hat down lower feeling embarrassed and muttered to himself. 'I a-always feel so smell when h-held like this...t-though I kinda like it..'

 

“Sure we can hold hands..” Sasuke said taking the blonds hand then turning a corner. “Gaara-kun you are still light and adorable..” Lee teased as he carried him back to the car then set him in it, purposely still leaning into him wanting a kiss for his services. “I carried you all this way I deserved at least a small kiss..”

 

Gaara swallowed and then hesitantly leaned up and gave him a shy kiss, he then pulled back and looked down. 'Gah I am getting all awkward again..' He thought and pulled his sleeves down over his hands feeling cold. "L-Let's go I am freezing."

 

“Alright alright..” Lee said though he was happy with his kiss as he shut the door and got in the other side turning the car on to warm it up. “Sooo where to? Obviously not your house my little Juliet..” Lee said in a soft tone leaning over and nuzzling him.

 

Gaara blushed and then raised a non-existent eyebrow. "Juliet? Do I look like I have boobs to you?" He asked playfully patting his chest. "Well not sure..I like that I can see the snow.." He said looking out the window then blinked. 'I just thought of something...what will Lee's father think about Lee dating me?!' He thought and slumped down in the seat.

 

“Well, we can go to the park or back to my home, my dad doesn't get home for a little while he is at the gym,” Lee said giving suggestive eye brows playfully before adding, “And no, your chest is waaaayyy sexier than any woman with boobs,” he said simply as he started driving out of the parking lot.

 

Gaara blushed darker and pushed on Lee's shoulder a little. "D-Don't say awkward things..I am skinny as a stick and I barely even have any muscle...its amazing I can win in fights at all." He said sweat dropping and folded his arms. "I'm really cold..we could go back to your house I guess." He said.

 

“Alright,” Lee replied then just shrugged at what Gaara said not wanting to argue about it. When they got back to his house Lee was careful no one saw him bring Gaara inside. “Today your dad is not home right?” He asked in a cautious voice while moving to the kitchen to make them both some hot cocoa.

 

"No he is but he will be gone in the morning..though I will just stay at Naruto's place or something I need a break from the glaring, good thing I never have to ask him to stay at someones house." Gaara muttered and then blinked when he noticed two glowing eyes under the couch and walked over to it. He got down on his hands and knees and looked under it smiling when he saw Cailey. "Hey yoou..I see you under there." He said.
