Crazy Love

Gaara leapt onto another roof top and looked around him to see if he was heading down the right street. 'I already saw him and his teacher before..I don't need to check again, that was just a waste of chakra to go all the way out there again.' He thought and came to a stop by the hospital. He didn't know why his feet had leaded him here but here he was... 'What am I doing?' He asked himself and rubbed his forehead.

Lee felt the familiar chakra presence and couldn't help but let the smile tugging at his lips form. Getting up he opened his eyes and followed to where he thought the person was and when he noticed Gaara he knew he had it right. "Ohayo Gaara-kun," He said smiling wider.

Gaara blinked in surprise from seeing Lee smiling at him like that and found himself leaping down to the street Lee was on. "We seem to keep running into each other.." He said and folded his arms.

"But this was not running into each other.. you obviously came here and stopped. You were looking at the hospital. Did you come to see me?" Lee asked cheerfully and tilted his head to the side. 'Tch like we would come to see you. Host what are we doing here?' The demon asked Gaara laying down calmly in his head.

Gaara felt a odd feeling in his chest and turned his head to the side. "No...I am just wondering around your village why would I come to see a weakling like you." He said and drummed his fingers on his arm.

"If no why are you so jumpy then?" Lee asked pointing to Gaara's fingers. "You are.. awkward.. am I right?" He asked grinning widely. 'This person is strange host...what is he talking about..?' Shukaku asked a little dazed since his blood high was still buzzing around in his head.

Gaara's hand moved to his elbow and he rubbed it as he looked down. "Why would I be awkward? There is no reason for me to be." He muttered and sweat dropped a little from how spaced off his demon was.

"You also have not looked me in the eyes yet which lets me know you are lying to me," Lee said grinning even more and he stepped closer to Gaara. "How are you feeling..? Shukaku.. right? Is he being calm and not causing you trouble..?" He asked softly a little more concerned about Gaara still.

Gaara kept his gaze down and shrugged his small shoulders. "He's calm...blood calms him which means less pain for me." He replied and felt that weird feeling again since Lee had gotten closer.

Lee reached his hand out and touched Gaara's forehead sand luckily not coming up since Shukaku was trying to get his own tail in Gaara's head. Then he brought his hand away and sweat dropped, "Wait.. your sand armor.. that is right. umm do you feel warm or anything? I just want to make sure you are ok, you were pretty freaked out last night." Lee told him.

Gaara's whole body tensed and his eyes widened in shock. "You...you touched me.." He said wondering why his demon was not freaking out and trying to kill Lee...oh wait he is being hyper cause of blood.

Shukaku blinked, 'Wait heeeyy... no....noooo..no!' The demon made his sand push Lee backwards but lightly and playfully and Lee blinked at feeling the sand was not scratchy but nice and soft. "Umm.. yeah I touched you.. I am sorry.. am I not allowed to do that.. I just wanted to check your temperature.." Lee stated.

The redhead blinked still staring wide eyed at Lee. "I haven't had anyone do something like that since I was a kid..." He said, he may have his sand armor on but he had a very thin layer of it covering his skin so he had slightly felt the older males touch.

The leaf ninja blinked and smiled, "Well that is getting somewhere. Who was the last person to do that?" Lee then leaned on his crutch his muscles not wanting to hold him up a little bit.

Gaara winced and looked down as he moved his fingers up to his kanji. "The one who made me do this..." He said his voice giving away a bit of his sadness. Wait why was he telling him that? He could not be friendly with anyone in the leaf this village was soon to be destroyed.

Lee blinked and moved closer reaching his hand up and hesitantly running his fingers over the kanji. "This is a scar.. you did this.. to yourself..? When..?" Lee asked softly his fingers tracing over the kanji.

Gaara tensed up again and felt his heart beat faster from the touch. "W-What are you doing?? Don't touch me!" Gaara said and stumbled back trying to get space between them. 'Shukaku since when do you let people touch me??' He asked to his demon.

'What? Oh hhheeyy host he touched you, wait.. HE touched you!' Shukaku yelled running around in circles again. Lee blinked and frowned, "I am sorry.." He told Gaara and turned. "Umm.. I think I should leave.." He said.

The sand ninja blinked and suddenly had the feeling he didn't want the older male to leave. "Why...did you?" He asked finding himself taking a step forward.

Lee stopped and looked over his shoulder tilting his head and grinning widely. "Because I naturally care for others no matter what they have done. I told you that I do not hold grudges and before you worried me.. but.. you obviously do not like to talk and seeing that you are fine now I will leave you alone." Lee ranted on. 'He is good!' Shukaku yelled out with wide eyes then fell onto his side in Gaara's head.

Gaara tried to remain silent but he couldn't help himself as he said. "Wait..." 'What the hell is wrong with me?!! I don't understand this at all...I should have killed him by now yet I can't...I don't talk to people yet I keep talking to him. I like to be alone and now I don't want him leaving...WHAT THE HELL??' He yelled in his head ruffling up his hair.

'Hey man calm down...' Shukaku said to him then added. 'He is messing with our mind. see I told you that he would..' Lee on the other hand turned around. "Hey hey hey, I say I am going to leave and you start freaking out again. Are you trying to keep me here?"

Gaara blinked and felt a heat raise up on his cheeks. "Why would I do that? I don't care at all." He said and turned his back to him folding his arms again with a huff.

"I do not know.." Lee said then turned his head back. "If you need me I will be in my room.." He said with a sigh thinking of walking up all the stairs with his cast, but he was used to it by now. 'Heeyy.. do not let him get away... Your heart is beating fast. Waiiitttttt do you wanna mate with him?' Shukaku asked rolling around.

Gaara blushed and freaked. "What the hell!" He yelled then covered his mouth and turned walking down the street. 'Don't say weird things like that!' He yelled in his mind.

'It is true! You want to mate with him!! Ewww... he is so weak though.. I mean.. Maybe Uchiha but.. him?? Why??' Shukaku complained sitting up. Lee sighed when Gaara walked away and went back into the hospital.

'Shut up! No I don't!...I hate that Uchiha why would you say that?' Gaara thought back to Shukaku and looked over his shoulder to look back at Lee.

'Gah.. why would I ever think someone like him would even like me as a friend I mean.. ugh..' Lee thought to himself as he slipped into hospital and over to the stairs starting to hop up them. 'Because Uchiha looks like he could be an oponate and I see that it is better to join em then fight em for the prize,' Shukaku told his host then yawned.

Gaara sighed and folded his arms again. 'Again...I HATE Uchiha, I plan to kill him remember? I will make his existences disappear...' He thought and looked up at the sky.

'Be that waaaay!' Shukaku yelled. The next night Lee went out looking for the younger redhead. 'Where would he be tonight..?" Lee thought to himself looking up at the moon. 'Gah why am I becoming so fascinated with him...? Gah.. Lee get a hold of yourself! He is from another village one, two he obviously does not like us..'

Gaara sat down by a old fountain and looked into the water, he could see coins in the water and the sound relaxed him. He lifted his hand up and let the sand armor fall off it then dipped his hand into the water bordely swishing it around.

Lee walked to where the fountain was since that is where he went to think when he could not train and was amazed to see Gaara there. 'Well I found him without meaning to..' He thought to himself then inner Lee chimed in. 'We should go just sit and tell him strait out we want to be friends and will not take no for an answer!!' He yelled youthfully and the real one gulped walking over listening to his head and sitting next to Gaara. "Umm.. hello again Gaara-kun..."

Gaara stiffened up a little from how close they were but seeing the look in Lee's eyes calmed him a little. "...Hello." He said and moved a few of the coins around in the fountain.

"Umm.. Look.. I.. uh... I want to be your friend and I am not taking no for an answer!!" Lee yelled out loudly then quickly brought his voice down when he remembered it was night time.

Gaara's eyes widened a little and he sat up straight as he stared at the leaf ninja. "I really don't understand why you want so badly to be my friend...but..I guess..but I warn you… know if you betray me I will kill you." He said and narrowed his eyes at him.

"I will only act mean towards you if you betray me in some way first. It is not nice nor youthful when people act like something then completely change in the blink of an eye. But I do not think you will do that." Lee said with a wide grin.

Gaara sweat dropped a little and went back to looking in the water. "I see." He said simply. 'Well at lest now we know how to get him to leave me alone later.' He thought trying to ignore the feeling he didn't really want that to happen deep down.

"Yosh!" Lee yelled and went to give Gaara a one armed hug but sand blocked it. 'Noooo touchy..' Shukaku complained no longer really calm. Lee sweat dropped and pulled back."I guess hugs are out of the question.. Umm.. do you want to come to my hospital room and play a board game tomorrow?" Lee asked tilting his head at the redhead He really did not like there mystery meet ups. It made him feel like he was doing something bad.

The sand ninja blinked then stood up and shook water off his hand. "Leaving already? I thought I couldn't stay in one place for long." He said and closed his eyes. 'What do you think of this all Shukaku...'

'I think you are being a fucking id-i-ot. Howevvvveeerrrrrr it will be all the more fun when you freak out over having to destroy this place. Then again.. I can enjoy killing him while you are asleep.' The demon said with an evil smirk. "Well no, I was just wanting to make plans now. We can talk.." He said then when he noticed Gaara spacing he couldn't help but think. 'I wonder what goes through his head.. if I knew then I could tell what I do that annoys him and he will like me more..'

Gaara frowned and used his sash to dry his hand. '..Why would you want to if he can't really defend himself?' He thought and sat on the edge of the fountain and looked up at the older male. "Well...I like to listen more then talk." He replied and folded his arms.

'Because, then I can tell you and if you guys are close enough by that time you will have another break down. Those are always fun to laugh at,' The demon said evilly laughing then started making sand shapes in Gaara's head. Lee blinked and pointed out, "But you are thinking. You would space out and not listen to me all that much. Plus that is not a conversation I want to have a conversation with you.."

Gaara tightened his hands into fists and his frown deepened. 'Shut up..' He looked back up at Lee and his face went back to the normal expressionless mask. "I'm not used to speaking to people for long periods of time.." He replied.

"Well then maybe you should learn. It is always good to be able to talk to someone. And not talking to people causes bad social skills and I think you need some more. not being insulting or anything but more friends is always good! And you always look like a mask why do you not smile once in awhile?" Lee ranted on while in his head he was thinking that he should shut up. 'Come on he obviously does not like us talking..' 'Oi, can we leave now? He bores me sooo fucking much..' Shukaku complained.

Gaara blinked and shrugged. "I don't need friends...people always backstab you in the end. And what reason would I have for smiling eh?" He asked drumming his fingers on his arm ignoring his demon.

"Well for one a smile always makes someone feel good, if not you then another person. Two it is youthful! And then those are not true friends! A true friend never backstabs someone no matter what happens!" Lee said happily and grinned even wider. 'Oh..my..god! HAHAHA! This is going to be better then I thought!!" Shukaku yelled inside of Gaara's head laughing hard.

Gaara shook his head then tightened his sash. "I never smile...so don't expect me to do so." He said and looked at the ground. 'It won't be long before the next part of the exams start...it wouldn't kill me to be around Lee...its better then just aimlessly wondering around this weak village..' He thought.

'Finnnee ugh!' Shukaku complained and shut up. "So what is your favorite thing to do then?" Lee asked trying to change the subject as he stared his big brown eyes at Gaara.

"...Look at the stars..." Gaara replied and took a moment to take off his gourd and set it down on the ground beside him. He lifted his hand and started to rub his shoulder feeling it was hurting from carrying the gourd around all day.

"That is really neat!" The leaf ninja yelled out enthusiastically. 'Ask him to watch stars with us, maybe then we can bond more!' Inner Lee yelled to him and he rubbed the back of his neck listening again. "Um... do you want to lie in the grass and look at the stars now then?" He asked looking at the fountain to afraid to look at Gaara's face not wanting rejection to be in it.

Surprise appeared on the younger males face for a moment then back to the mask. "...Alright.." He replied suddenly feeling that weird feeling again that he only got around Lee.

"Yosh! I know the perfect spot!" Lee said getting up and he put his crutch under his arm.

Gaara stood up only to slip on a puddle on the marble that surrounded the fountain. Without thinking he reached out and grabbed onto the front of Lee's robe but that only made things worse since he still ended up falling in but dragged Lee in on top of him.

Lee fell on top of Gaara and stiffened up feeling a bit of pain rush through him. But upon looking down noticing the redhead covered in water below him. "I uhh.." Lee started to try and scramble out of the fountain but that was quite difficult as you could imagine, since he not only had a broken arm but leg as well. 'Cold! Shit this is cold!!' Shukaku complained feeling the impact of the cold water and the sand which was now falling off of the smaller boy and sinking to the bottom of the fountain.

Gaara's eyes were wide in shook and he froze as his sand armor fell off him. In a bit of a daze he set his hand on Lee's shoulder and blinked realizing he could feel the other male. 'This w-weird feeling..'

'Wow... Gaara looks.. really amazing.. his hair is much redder and his lips look so nice.. and his skin.. god he is kind of hot!' Inner Lee thought causing the one on the outside to turn red. 'No no no I am not thinking that.. Get off him get off of him!' 'Wait... AWKWARD!! Get him off!!' Shukaku yelled to Gaara trying to snap him out of the small daze.

Gaara found himself blushing a dark red and tired to hide it by turning his head to the side. "L-Lee...I c-cannot get up till you do.." He said surprised by how he was acting, if anyone else got this close they would be a bloody puddle on the ground...but he couldn't bring himself to get angry. 'To c-close way to close..'

"I c-can not get up, my casts are now wet and I will need to get a new one and it kind of hurts and this is hard to move," Lee said blushing and looking away as well. Oddly he was enjoying being on the smaller boy and probably wouldn't have got off even if he could. 'Gah this is ridiculous!!!' Shukaku yelled running around.

The sand ninja blushed even redder and instead of shoving Lee off roughly he carefully pushed Lee up till he was sitting on his knees, he scooted himself back till his back was pressed against the middle of the fountain though Lee was still sitting on his legs since there wasn't much room. 'Wait...if Lee ever wanted to harm me this would be his chance...my sand armor is off..' He thought looking at the older male watching his every move.

Lee winced a little bit from his leg hurting and he finally got himself up sitting on the edge of the fountain. "Geez this is cold," Lee commented and grinned a little shaking his head to get the water out of his hair. Then he looked down to his clothes that were soaked and now sticking to the curves of the muscles. 'Gah.. if he fucking touches us I am hitting him with the sand that isn't wet..' Shukaku growled out.

Gaara finely started to feel the cold and shivered as he got up and climbed out of the fountain. "I...did I... cause you more pain?" He asked glancing at Lee's casts. 'He could of hurt me just now...why didn't he...' He asked his demon feeling so confused.

Lee blinked and then looked to the fountain nodding. "Uh.. yeah.. it hurts.. but it is alright..I can deal with it," Lee told him not wanting to upset the smaller boy. 'What is it I am feeling towards him..? This feels like when I am around Sakura..but.. now.. it is only him who can make me feel like this.. Gah I am so confused! Why do I like him like this??' Lee complained to himself. 'I have no clue.. maybe this guy is crazier then I thought..' The demon thought back to his host.

Gaara suddenly felt guilty for getting Lee's casts wet and felt angry with himself. "Hold out your arm.." He said and summoned some of his sand out of his gourd.

Lee could not help but think bad about the sand and stood up backing up a little. "I am sorry! I did not mean to land on you I just lost my balance when you tugged on my robes.. I.. It does not hurt... It is fine.." He said looking down. 'Why am I scared..? He won't hurt me will he..? We are friends now..but..Gah this is so complicated!!' Lee yelled to himself in his mind.

Gaara rolled his eyes and stepped up to the older male. Hesitantly he grabbed Lee's hand and his sand moved up gently wrapping around Lee's arm then tightened a little so as a make shift cast. He found himself blushing from touching Lee and let go of him. "There..."

Lee's face was warm. 'His hands are so soft..' Lee didn't want to let go of Gaara's hand and pouted when he let go. "Umm.. thank you..See you can be nice sometimes.." He said. Then he looked at the sand, when it was touching him it felt so soft and gentle this time. 'Hey! Gaara what the fuck was that?!' Shukaku asked angrily.

Gaara winced from his demon and tried to ignore him. "Yeah well...its a onetime only thing so don't expect me to be kind again...are we getting you back to the hospital or going to stand in the cold?' He asked shivering still.

"We can go back to the hospital but uh.. I do not think I should walk passed the nurses like this.." He said and rubbed his arm instinctively up by his shoulder trying to get some of the pain in it to stop. "Can you get my crutch?" Lee asked shivering a little bit.

Gaara sighed and picked up the crutch. "I could get us there with in three seconds...but you have to touch me to do so.." The redhead said and handed Lee's his crutch.

"Um that sounds interesting but alright..." Lee hesitantly reached out and rest his hand on Gaara's bare arm enjoying the feel of the smooth skin. "Uhh.. how will you get us there in three seconds though..?" He asked.

Gaara blushed right away from the touch and grabbed his hand then formed a sign with his other hand. Sand swirled around them then they both disappeared, they reappeared in side Lee's hospital room and the redhead looked up at Lee waiting for him to release his arm.

Lee let go and blinked a little dizzy. "That was.... so cool!" He yelled then brought his volume down remembering that Gaara always left if the nurses were around. "Um.. do you mind if I change? I am cold.." Lee told the redhead.

"Whatever..go ahead." Gaara said and folded his arms getting annoyed with his clothes clinging to him. 'I really hate being cold..' He thought to his demon a little surprised Shukaku wasn't still yelling at him for being near Lee.

Lee moved over to the small bathroom in the hospital room and got his new clothes coming out. However he had trouble taking the wet clothing off and growled to himself. He did not want to have to call a nurse in because then Gaara would leave. "Can you er help me..?" He asked.

Gaara looked at him and tilted his head. "Help with what?" He asked and moved his gourd to the corner of the room so it was out of the way.

"I can not change right with the casts.." Lee said and sweat dropped a little. 'Think of those soft hands occasionally brushing our skin while he helps us out, gah that would be awesome!' Inner Lee yelled and the real one blushed dark. "Umm..yeah.. just help.. please.." He told Gaara. 'No! Do not help him! I refuse to let you!'

'Refuse? You can't boss me around. Don't forgot I am killing Sasuke Uchiha for you to have his blood.' Gaara replied to his demon. He looked at Lee and thought for a moment, the sand ninja still didn't like to be close to another person but...Lee had proven he wasn't going to harm him back when in the fountain. He paused for a moment and walked up to the older male and stood beside him.

'Don't do it I swear!' Shukaku growled out to his host. Lee got his robe off by himself but when he was trying to pull the shirt off over his head he found he could only get it up halfway. "Uhh help please Gaara-kun.." He said sweat dropping.

Gaara blushed faintly looking at the older male and ignored his demons warning as he awkwardly tugged up the leaf ninja's shirt pulling it off him. "There.." He said and blinked noticing all the scars on Lee's chest and arms. 'It seems he has been through alot..' He thought and set the shirt on the chair and started to rub at his arms feeling he was really cold.

Shukaku growled and made a sand wall form between the two. 'You really do like him! Baka! He is messing with your mind! We are going to attack the village soon and I will not have you going soft on me because of this guy! Use your fucking sand to help him and lets go change! We are defenseless here while being wet!' Shukaku ranted out growling louder and angrier. Lee blushed feeling Gaara's cold hands brush against his skin but when the sand wall came up he frowned a little bit. Moving away from it he picked up the other shirt and tried to get it on over his head.

Gaara gripped his head again and winced. 'I don't like him!..I don't have feelings like that anymore...and I know I know...he would be one of the ones killed when the village is attacked...' The thought sadden him and he shook his head trying to make it go away. "I need to leave...I don't feel safe without my armor.."

The sand wall fell down revealing a sad leaf ninja frowning at Gaara. "You think I am going to harm you..? You can dry up, I have another change of clothes.." Lee said to him stepping closer only to be pushed back by the sand. 'Good host, now leave. Don't even respond to him just leave..'

Gaara frowned and looked down at the floor. "Its going to take me a very long time to trust anyone Lee...you have no idea how happy my village would be if I was dead." He said angrily and placed his hand on the sand to take back control of it and made it go back into his gourd. He pushed the cork back in and then placed his hand over it so Shukaku couldn't make a wall again.

The demon seemed even more angered by this. 'Gaara.. listen to me.. he will just end up like Yashamaru.. acting like he cares.. then one little order and he simply tries to kill us.. now let's go..' Lee frowned, "Then stay here.. we can talk and work on trusting each other!" He yelled stubbornly not wanting Gaara to leave just yet.

Gaara felt a strong pain in his chest and gripped onto the front of his shirt as flash backs of his uncle went through his mind. That one name could upset the redhead instantly. 'N-No..' He backed up to the bed to go open the window, his demon knew his fear...that Lee would do what his uncle had done to him.

'See Gaara.. listening to me is best or it hurts..' His demon said in an obvious sadistic tone. Lee blinked and ran over grabbing Gaara's arm with his good hand. "You suddenly... your eyes.. you are hurt.. why are you upset all of a sudden..?" Lee asked leaning closer to the smaller boy which made Shukaku growl like a feral cat.

"Y-Your going to betray me I know it! Everyone always does...my own father wants my death!" Gaara said loudly but tried not to yell not wanting the nurses to hear him. He glanced at the hand on his arm and felt the pain subside a little in his chest though it was still causing him to grit his teeth. 'Why does he keep touching me??'

"I..Gaara.." Lee's hand slowly turned limp and came off of the redhead's arm. "I would never hurt you.." He muttered but hand no clue how to react towards everything else. 'Tell him you care about him!! That we will protect him no matter what! We will be there for him!' Inner Lee screamed but he didn't listen. He backed up and kept his eyes on the floor. "I am sorry.." He said. 'Jump now Gaara.. let's leave..' Shukaku murmured.

Gaara moved to grab his gourd but his hands were shaking a little so he ended up knocking it over the cork falling out and rolling across the floor. The redhead picked the gourd up not bothering about the cork and got onto the bed then pushed open the window. "...You see...monsters can't have friends..." Gaara said and stepped onto the sill. "Don't go to the exams.." He added then disappeared in a swirl of sand leaving the leaf ninja alone in the room.

Lee took a deep intake of breath then hit the wall closest to him as hard as he could and yelled out, "Damn it!" Loudly. Obviously he broke the wall but he didn't care walking over he plopped down into the bed and looked at the sand cast on his arm while laying in bed. "I screwed everything up.. what did I do wrong.. why is it hurting me so bad for him to leave... This is too complicated!" Lee yelled freaking out. His inner self sighed deeply, 'You let someone who is kind and needs help slip from our grasp.. you should have just told him!' Lee argued with himself but stopped when a nurse rushed in confused by all the noise. "Are you alright.." She trailed off looking at the sand and the sand on his arm and freaked out. After talking to anbus and trying to explain it Lee just gave up and they left leaving the leaf ninja alone once again to think about the redhead who he oddly had grown attached to despite everything.
