Gaara's pov

Gaara watched jealously as Lee headed over from talking with Guy sensei to the pinkett witch Sakura. What does he see in her? He is always trying to show off for her and getting rebuffed. Probably because she knows he is mine. He has been since that day.

Lee sighed dejected as Sakura rejected him once again and headed over to his best friend Gaara oblivious to his glare. He was used to it. "Why does she like Sasuke so much anyway? He waste his youthfulness by glaring and being broody. "

"Maybe you should give up on her. Go for someone else." Gaara suggested tentatively. Lee stared at him with wide eyes before throwing his arms up. "I could never do that. Sakura is as beautiful as the youthful flower she is named after. She is the only one for me."

But your mine. Gaara felt his heart crack a little a bit ignored it. Averting his hurt gaze he tried to act cool as he stood and stalked off. "Fine then. Keep getting rejected."

"What is wrong with Gaara?" Lee muttered in confusion.

"Isn't it obvious?" Temari questioned as she looked at the confused weirdo curiously. Why her brother liked him she would never know. When all she got was a confused head shake she sighed rolling her eyes. She probably shouldn't do this but she was tired of seeing Gaara get hurt. "He likes you weirdo."

"Well of course he does. That is why we are friends." Lee stated exasperatedly. That didn't tell him anything new.

"I mean likes likes you. Like crush like." Temari informed him before walking away to talk to Ten-Ten leaving Lee alone.

Gaara Likes Likes me. Lee's eyes widened in realization. "I must fix this!"

Turning on his heels Lee hurried after Gaara and practically tackled him when he caught up to him. "Is it true my friend? Do you have a crush on me?"

"What!" Gaara yelled uncharacteristically. Ripping himself away from Lee he stared at him with wide guarded eyes. Who told him? This was all the answer Lee needed. "So it is true. Dear friend why did you never inform me?"

Gaara straightened alarmed feeling backed into a corner. "Should I have? I had assumed my affection was one sided as you seemed rather charmed by Sakura."

"True my friend." Lee nodded. "But I would have tried to return your affection. Though it might take time. "

"Really?" Gaara asked feeling uncharacteristically shy. Lee nodded happily. "If course my dear friend."

That was all Gaara needed to hear. Leaning forward he pecked Lee on the lips.

"Tonight will you come to the movies with me?"

Lee could only blush in response.
