Just Stay Awhile

Sasuke relaxed kissing the redhead and being close to him but jumped when he heard a small beeping sound next to him. Then he pulled back mumbling, "Damn it.. I have to start getting ready.. I am sorry Gaa-koi.. would you like to take the shower with me?" He asked not wanting to go away from being close to gaara for as long as he could.

Gaara blushed deeply. "I h-have never bathed with s-someone before." He admitted awkwardly and glanced over at the clock getting annoyed by the beeping, he summoned a little sand to push the button to turn it off.


"Well then come on, I can make it fun," Sasuke said with a teasing wink as he gt up and picked Gaara up, still holding the blanket to the smaller boy so he wouldn't get awkward or aroused once more.

"E-Eep!" Gaara said as he was picked up and blushed darker. "N-Nani?" He asked looking away shyly.

"I'm kidding," Sasuke said as he kissed Gaara's ear then walked them to the bathroom. After setting Gaara on the counter he walked over and turned on the water, making it only slightly warm.

"You have a nice bathroom." Gaara said looking at the tilled floor.

"Huh? Oh uh thanks," Sasuke said smiling as he stripped off his shift he was still wearing and moved over to Gaara. "Come on blanket off.." He murmured softly as he gently gripped the blanket trying to take the cloth off of the smaller boy.

Gaara blushed deeply and awkwardly gripped onto it. "B-But um.." He started and trailed, he moved back a little on the counter sweat dropping when he knocked over a lamp.

"Gaara-koi com eon, I've already seen it all by now," Sasuke teased as he easily yanked the blanket not caring if he ripped it or not.

Gaara turned red and lost his grip on the blanket, he looked away from his lover when it slide off him and tried to busy himself by setting the lamp up right again.

The older man gently coaxed gaara off of the counter into his arms again, "it is fine Gaa-koi, let it be," he said as he walked over to the shower setting gaara under the soft spray of the warm water. He joined him and wrapped his arms around Gaara's petite waist from behind, letting the water run down both of their bodies.

Gaara's face was flushed a deep red and he closed his eyes after a awhile enjoying the feeling of the warm water on his skin. He let out a small relaxed sigh and awkwardly leaned back on the black haired male behind him feeling he was warmer then the water.

Sasuke blushed a bit but just tightened his arms around Gaara and closed his eyes, "Ah.. this is nice.. very nice.." He said softly.

Gaara placed his hands over the older males and smiled a little his blush becoming darker. "Yeah...it is... very relaxing.." Gaara said and reached a hand up to run it through his red hair as his bangs covered his eyes.

Sasuke made a small purring sound before moving his own hand to slightly wash his own body but not well because he didn't want to let go of Gaara.

Gaara turned slightly and smiled up at him shyly. "I love you.." He said so happy to finely have someone to say that to.

"I love you to," Sasuke replied as he gave Gaara a soft kiss then reached over and grabbed the shampoo putting some in Gaara's hair and playfully scrubbing it in to make lots of bubbles making his hair poofy.

Gaara closed his eyes and laughed a little. "What are you doing?" He asked enjoying the feeling of Sasuke's fingers in his hair.

"Cleaning you, it is good to be fresh and clean before going to bed," Sasuke said as he then rinsed Gaara's soft red hair and cleaned out all the soap. He then started to clean his own hair, closing his eyes so the shampoo wouldn't get in them.

Gaara blushed a little and rubbed his shoulder. "It kinda feels nice when your messing with my hair, i normally don't like it when people do but when you do I enjoy it." Gaara admitted watching the shampoo go down the drain.

"Hmm.. How about I give you a head massage when we wake up after i get home from my mission?" Sasuke asked smiling as he rinsed his hair then handed a bar of soap to gaara so he can clean his body.

Gaara tilted his head. "Never had a massage before." Gaara said and took the soap, he squeezed it a little to hard and it slipped up out of his hand flying up. as it fell back down he caught it and sweat dropped a little glancing at his boyfriend to see his reaction.

Sasuke laughed, "You are a klutz," He merely said as he shook his head to get the hair out of his eyes so he could see Gaara better.

Gaara blushed and pouted at him. "Well your one to." Gaara said and started to wash himself.

"Only around you," Sasuke said and slipped the soap out of Gaara's hands. "Now stay still," he said as he lavished the soap in his hands and then started to rub it into Gaara's skin cleaning off any bit of dirtiness.

Gaara blushed and let his eyes close half way. "Uh so.. whats your mission?" Gaara asked his voice sounding a little awkward, he tried hard to ignore how good it felt when ever Sasuke touched his pale skin.

"Hm.. a few rouge ninja have been lurking around outside the village.. I am supposed to go and scout out on what they are doing and if anything is suspicious I am supposed to take care of it, nothing really too big," Sasuke replied as he finished cleaning Gaara's moth skin then cleaned his own quickly. "Why do you ask?"

"Just stay safe ok.." Gaara said turning around and hugging him tightly. "I don't...want something to happen to you.."

Sasuke's eyes widened slightly but he smiled and pat Gaara on the head, "Relax, I promise I will come back with no scratches."

"Ok.." Gaara then sweat dropped. "Sasuke-kun your running late." Gaara said looking up at his boyfriend.

"I know.." Sasuke said with a sigh and reached around him shutting the water off. He slipped out of the shower and tossed Gaara a soft white towel as he started drying himself off with his own. After walking to his room he came out in his anbu outfit and sighed once more as he grabbed his mask from where he had set it last. "Gaa-koi, I have to go now," He said adjusting the long katana on his back.

"You look really good in that outfit." Gaara said blushing as he tied the towel around his waist. "Be safe ok..I'll be reading when you come back." He said letting his gaze mover over his boyfriends anbu outfit.

Sasuke gracefully walked over and quickly slipped his hand down under Gaara's chin, making him tilt his head up so they were looking each other in the eyes. "Like I said before, i will return with not a scratch on me," He said as he leaned down and brushed his lips softly against Gaara's.

Gaara kissed back and smiled when he pulled back. "I love you.." He whispered and hugged him close.

"I love you too," the Uchiha replied smoothly before slipping out of Gaara's arms. "I am late I have to go now ok?" He said as he formed a hand sign and his body burned in fire making him disappear.

"Heh nows that a exit.." Gaara said to himself and gathered up his clothes. He got dressed into his normal outfit and sat down on the couch to read. Hours later the Kazekage had fallen asleep the book now laying open on the floor.

Sasuke opened the door to the house after unlocking it and kept himself completely silent noticing Gaara was asleep on the couch. His mark and swords were dropped behind him after he shut the door and he stalked over to gaara careful not to wake him up. With a wince he picked gaara up and tried to ignore the pain in his side as he walked Gaara to his room instead of the spare room since the bed was more comfortable. 'At least he is getting sleep..' Sasuke thought to himself as he laid the redhead down on the bed.

Gaara's eyes slowly fluttered open and he blinked looking around confused. "Where am I- Sasuke." Gaara said noticing the Uchiha and sat up to hug him only to freeze seeing the cut on his cheek. He frowned and reached up to place his hand over the cut. "You said you wouldn't get a scratch...are you ok?" He asked looking worried.

For one split second Sasuke thought of not lying to the Ninja and telling him about the gash in his side, but he figured that would make Gaara upset with hi since he promised and so he decided to keep his mouth shut. "Yeah.. sorry I just got cut once on my cheek.. It was me uh.. tripping though so do not worry about it ok,' Sasuke said using his smile that was like a prince, the special one only for Gaara. "Just relax and lay back down with me, i am tired and would like some rest.." The raven haired man said as he slipped into the bed next to the smaller boy. A soft sigh came past his lips as he tried not to groan from the sharp pain in his side and he shifted onto the left part of his body so the wondered side wasn't touching the bed. "Just.. snuggle me, that is all I want right now," He then said his coal eyes moving over Gaara's body in the barely crack of the morning sun at dawn coming through the small window in the room. 'Don't let him find out.. he will be mad at us.. He might break up with me.. just.. keep quiet.. We can bandage it up in the morning when he leaves..' Sasuke thought to himself as he struggled to keep his smile the same.

Gaara snuggled up to him and smiled. "I missed you...it was really boring around here without you. I am on the last chapter of the book you let me read." He said closing his eyes.

Sasuke closed his eyes and rest his hand on Gaara's hip, gently rubbing it, "Mm.. have you enjoyed it so far?" He asked a little sleepily as he tried to will his body to relax fully so he could rest.

"Uh huh.. Though the page I am on I am starting to think is gonna uh turn into something awkward.." Gaara muttered and wrapped his arms around his seme to hug him close.

"Yeah you can avoid t- ah!" Sasuke winced and his body instantly pulled away from the touch, eyes snapping open. After he realized what he did he clenched his jaw to stop his pain noise and muttered though his teeth, "T-that page.." He ended trying to act as if nothing happened, ignoring all the pain in his body.

Gaara sat up a look of worry appear on his face. "Your hurt more then you let on.." Gaara said frowning and reached over pulling at the straps that held the vest to his anbu outfit.

The Uchiha sat up abruptly and pulled away from the touch of the smaller male. "I am fine!" he said his voice louder then he expected it to be, he was almost yelling. After cringing from the pain and the fact he was being a jerk he lowered his head and looked to the side, "I.. I promised you I wouldn't get hurt so I am not hurt ok.."

Gaara flinched and pulled his hands back, he thought for a moment and scooted close to the older male. "You are hurt stop acting like a child and let me help you." Gaara said pulling on a strap which made the vest fall off and land on the bed.

Sasuke moved his hand to his side and rest his hand on the wound, ignoring the fact the warm blood was soaking into his shirt. "But.. aren't you upset with me..?" He asked his voice obviously tinted with disappointment in himself as he continued to not look at Gaara.

"I'm a bit annoyed you are hiding being wounded but things like this happens on a mission..don't hide things from me i don't like that." Gaara said frowning and got off the bed walking into the bathroom and looked under the sink. 'found it..' He thought picking up a large first aid kit and walked back into the room.

"But.. it makes me a liar.. and weak..." Sasuke muttered to him as he looked up to watch him come back in the room with the first aid kit.

"On my mission to prove I could become the Kazekage...I was attacked by a animal the enemy summoned...I still carry the claw scars on my back...I had tried to hide it from everyone when I returned fearing it would make me look weak..but my siblings easy found out when i passed out from blood loss...they explained to me you can't hide things from people you love..cuz it hurts them." Gaara opened the first aid kit and then carefully slide up Sasuke's shirt and got work to wrapping up the wound. "If I had said something the moment I returned I would not still have the scars.." He added.

"Sorry.." Sasuke murmured then hissed when the wound started hurting a bit from being wrapped up. "Nh.. Gaara be a bit more gentle please.. and.. I guess that telling you would have been better.." He said as he closed his eyes again.

"Gomen...I have not wrapped up many wounds before.." Gaara said with a sweat drop. He finished wrapping Sasuke up being as gentle as he could, when he was done he got up and went back into the bathroom to wash the blood off his hands.

The dark eyes of the older male followed Gaara as he walked around, "No it is alright.. I just.. wrap up my wounds myself so i guess I am not used to feeling the pain of another person doing it.." He said as he shifted in the bed and laid on his back, his eyes closing.

Gaara came back into the room and picked up the first aid kit setting it on the floor. He laid down on the bed next to the Uchiha and closed his eyes. "Do you need help getting out of your armor?" He asked after a few moments had pasted.

"If you can take off my shoes that would be fine, i can get my arm plates off.. just I can't bend to get my shoes off right now.." Sasuke murmured and he untied the bottom of the arm plates and slipped the metal off and onto the ground.

Gaara sat back up and took off the older males shoes, he then moved till he could rest his back on the headboard of the bed and folded his arms. "How did the mission go..?" He asked looking around the room.

"The assholes won't be coming back to this village ever again, nor going anywhere near yours.." Sasuke growled out thinking of the pack of rogue ninja. "It would have been nicer if the rest of my squad would have patrolled the area with me instead of running off into the woods though.. but it went fine I guess.." he said. Then he thought of something and sat up rubbing his eyes to keep him awake. "I owe you something.." He murmured.

"Huh? owe me what?" Gaara asked tilting his head. "Heh they ran away? What fools.." Gaara muttered and looked at Sasuke. "Maybe you should rest.."

"Only one of them ran away.." Sasuke admitted as he scooted back against the headboard. "And I owe you a head massage.. I told you I would give you one when I got home so.. sit in front of me.." Sasuke murmured smiling. "I do not need to rest I have all day to."

Gaara blinked and rubbed his neck before crawling over to his boyfriend and sitting down in front of him. "Uh Alright.." He said resting his hands in his lap.

Sasuke wrapped his arms around Gaara's small body and pulled him close to him before lifting both hands and placing them on Gaara's head. Slowly he started to rub all of his fingers in a circular motion on Gaara's scalp, making sure to use his nails a little bit so the massage felt even nicer.

Gaara's eyes slide closed after a few moments and he relaxed a little. "This feels nice.." He muttered and played with one of the ends of his coat.

"Good.. That is what I am leaning towards.." Sasuke said softly as he continued to massage, messing up Gaara's hair a little bit.

The Kazekage relaxed fully after awhile and smiled. "I love spending time with you..." He said still messing with his coat.

"Mhm.. I love spending time with you too," Sasuke said his eyes sliding closed as well as he relaxed just from feeling the atmosphere shift and become comfortable in the room. He moved his fingers up and down along every inch of Gaara's skull making sure every part was getting even massaging.

Gaara let his shoulders drop and let go of his coat to place his hands on his knees. "I'm glad we...we are together.." Gaara said blushing faintly.

The Uchiha leaned forward and placed a kiss on the back of Gaara's neck. "Mm.. Me too.." He whispered lovingly as his hands moved down to Gaara's chest and undid the vest slipping it off of him so he could start to massage his back without it in the way.

The leader leaned back into the touch and then started to play with the end of his coat again. "Um Sasuke-kun..." He started sounding shy.

Sasuke's lips pursed together as he rest his head on Gaara's shoulder and looked at him out of the corner of his eyes, "Yes my Gaara-koi?" He asked softly as he moved his hands lower and rubbed his back gently.

"Mmm...Uh what made you...like me..?" Gaara asked blushing a little darker. "We have only ran into each other a few times after you came back. So I was..wondering."

"..You were the only one still fighting for me besides Naruto when I left.. You were trying to help me.. everyone else had given up hope.. that's really when i first started liking you.." Sasuke said as he moved his arms and wrapped them around the small waist. "Plus that and you are sexy and beautiful," He added.

Gaara placed his hands over Sasuke and blushed a dark red. "I a-am?" He stuttered and looked over his shoulder so he could see his boyfriend.

"Well duh... That and you are sweet.. and nice.. and very caring.. much more then I thought before.." Sasuke murmured as he closed his eyes once again, feeling tired finally.

"W-Well I have changed a lot.." Gaara replied and blinked looking at his boyfriend. "Sasuke-kun go to sleep.." He said seeing how tired his boyfriend looked.

"Noooo... I wanna snuggle you.. going out and listening to a bunch of assholes plans then getting in a battle is not the best time.. I want to spend time with you.." Sasuke complained starting to act like a little child.

Gaara smiled and moved till he was next to him and laid down, he grabbed Sasuke's arm and pulled him down next to him. "I'll still be here when you wake up. Sleep." Gaara said hugging the older males arm to his chest.

"Nmm.. alright..I love you.." Sasuke whispered before falling into a deep sleep, his arms draping around Gaara tightly.

Gaara blinked in surprise then smiled and cuddled up to his seme being careful of his wounds. "I love you to..." Gaara whispered and clayed there watching his boyfriend sleep

Sasuke woke up a few hours later and yawned as he looked at his lover, smiling.

Gaara blushed a little and smiled back. "Hi.." He said and moved to get up.

The Uchiha rubbed his eyes and sat up, "Did you just lay and watch me..?" He asked a faint blush on his face wondering if he talked in his sleep at all or did anything in his sleep.

Gaara blushed and nodded. "Uh this that awkward?" He asked and got off the bed, he blinked when he noticed a photo on the bed side table and picked it up. "Heh you were so cute Sasuke-kun." Gaara said in a teasing voice.

"Hmm..? Hey.. Don' call me cute!" Sasuke complained as he continued feeling still sleepy and confused by what exactly Gaara was talking about.

Gaara tilted his head staring at the photo. "Who's this guy next to you? Your brother?" He asked looking over at Sasuke.

Sasuke's eyes widened and he moved over so quickly Gaara had no time to react. After snatching the picture from gaara he yelled, "Don't touch that!" He then looked down and held the picture close, "it is all I have left of him... please.. don't ever touch it again..."

Gaara froze and then moved back to give the older male space. "Gomen...I won't.." He said quietly.

Sasuke set the picture back down and set his fingers over his brother behind the glass. he let out a sigh and held back a few tears as his fingers trailed down it then he looked back to Gaara, "No I'm sorry.. just.. I'm over protective over that picture..."

"I...I understand.." Gaara replied and sat down in a chair that was next to the door. 'Maybe thats his brother...Everyone kept saying he killed Itachi... was that Itachi?' He thought not sure if he should move for the moment.

"Sorry Nii-san.." Sasuke murmured to the picture and walked over to Gaara. "Um... how about breakfast...?" He asked trying to change the subject.

Gaara looked up at him and nodded. He stood up and left the room walking into the room he was staying in to look through his suitcase for a moment.

The Uchiha checked his bandages to make sure they weren't dirty and upon seeing it was ok he just walked to the kitchen in only his pants. "What do you want for breakfast?" He called out to Gaara.

"..I ate when you were on your mission!" Gaara called back then pulled out a few papers and started to read through them.

Sasuke winced and walked to Gaara's room leaning against the door. "But.. that was a long time ago.. do.. do you not want to eat with me because I yelled...?" He asked staring at the floor.

Gaara read over the page and turned to the next one. "I ...no.. I'm not very hungry I don't eat much in the first place.." He said and winced when the side of the paper cut his finger. "Ouch.." He muttered and lifted his hand up to put his finger in his mouth not wanting to get blood on his papers.

Sasuke walked over and pulled his hand gently out of his mouth, "Your mouth is dirty.. don't do that it could get infected.. hold on.." Sasuke murmured as he left and then came back with a band aid putting it on Gaara's finger.

"Wha? my mouth is not dirty." He said and blinked when the band aid was put on his finger. "Um..thanks.." He said and started pulling things out of his suitcase looking for his pen.

"You haven't washed your mouth this morning.." Sasuke murmured and he went back to the kitchen grabbing a few rice balls then sitting at the table eating. 'God.. see what you did.. you got angry again and let that get to you.. You yelled at Gaara-kun...' He thought to himself as he stared into space eating.

Gaara blinked and picked up his tooth brush and tooth past and walked into kitchen setting his papers on the table so he could work on them and then walked into the bathroom and started to brush his teeth.

Sasuke shook his head out of thought and he tilted his head looking at the papers scanning over a few of them as he finished eating. He the realized how small of a stack the papers were. 'He has to go back soon.. maybe..' Sasuke started thinking up a plan as he looked to the bathroom trying to see Gaara.

'I still can't find my pen..' Gaara thought annoyed then blinked. 'Wait I remember!' He thought and he ran out of the bathroom tooth brush still in his mouth as he went into the bedroom, he picked up his gourd and walked into the kitchen and then pulled out the cork, he reached into his gourd up to his shoulder then after feeling around pulled out his pen. He sometimes when in a hurry would put stuff in his poured then get it later, though cause of that habit in battle a random scroll would come out with his sand and confuse people greatly.

Sasuke raised an eye brow at him but shook his head trying to imagine he saw nothing and he walked over to his own room changing into some nice clothing. "Hey, I am going to go talk to Kakashi about something.. so I will be back later ok?" He told Gaara.

"Ok.." Gaara said and sat at the table after setting down his gourd and got to work on the paper work.

Sasuke walked over and Gave Gaara a soft good bye kiss before walking out of the apartment. He walked to the Hokage building and nodded to the guards as he walked up to the Hokage's office. After knocking on it he called through the door, "Kakashi.. I need to ask you something."

"Since when do you knock?" Kakashi called through the door and shoved his book under the desk.

Sasuke opened the door and shut it behind himself walking to the front of Kakashi's desk, trying hard to be respectful to the new Hokage. "Since when I'm coming to you asking for favors.." Sasuke murmured as he avoided looking in the eye of his former sensei.

Kakashi raised a eye brow then leaned back in his chair. "Alright what is it that you want? a harder mission?" He asked in a bored tone.

"No.. Allow me to be the one to escort Gaara back to his village.." Sasuke said as he rest his hand on the silver haired male's desk.

"Escort Gaara-Sama? You sure? If I remember you two don't like eachother." Kakashi said blinking in surprise.

"Things have er changed.. Just please Kakashi, do this ONE thing for me.. you never do anything else," Sasuke said giving Kakashi a half bored half glare look.

Kakashi stared at him for a bit then nodded. "alright alright sheesh stop being so up tight, if your his escort you better keep him safe a lot of people lately have been targeting leaders." He said moving to get his book again.

"Yeah, I know," Sasuke replied as he pulled out a paper from his pocket, 'By the way.. those Ninja were waiting for him to leave the village, I properly dispatched all but one," He said as he set the paper down. "I didn't bother filling out any other paperwork but the one that escaped," He murmured.

"Oh well that means less work for me and more work for you to keep a eye on Gaara-sama." Kakashi said and flipped through his book to find the page he was last on. "Don't get in a fight with the Kazekage I know you have issues with being..well nice." He added with a sweat drop.

The Uchiha glared at him, "I do not!" He said his voice raising a bit. "And.. I would never get in a fight with Gaara-kun," He said then his eyes widened as he realized he let the suffix kun slip past his lips. His face momentarily faltered but e quickly changed it back to his calm relaxed look praying to god (Jashin XD ) that Kakashi didn't notice.

Kakashi blinked a few times and raised a eye brow. "Gaara-kun?" He asked setting his book down on the table.

"Um.. y-yeah.." Sasuke's voice cracked as he looked away. "Is there a problem with me calling hi that..?" He asked trying not to sound so small and pathetic at the moment. He was worried that his sensei might not approve, but he knew if Kakashi didn't approve he would just get pissed off and yell at the silver haired male until he does approve.

"Well no its fine to call him that I just didn't know you two were friends. Last thing I knew you hated his guts." Kakashi said folding his arms on his desk.

"Well things and people change.. we are closer then you think now.." Sasuke said as he turned to leave the room.

"How close is close?" Asked the sliver haired male his one visible eye blinking.

"Closer then you need to know about," The other male replied a visible smirk forming on his lips. He looked over at Kakashi, "About as close as you and Iruka are.." He added.

The older male blushed faintly then blinked. "Wait wait wait?! Your with Gaara-sama??" He asked sounding shocked.

Sasuke shrugged refusing to give Kakashi the satisfaction of an answer and he said in a chimed tone, 'Anyways, I must be getting home Kakashi, busy day with my new lover you know." With that the younger male slipped out of the door and headed home.

Kakashi sweat dropped a little then picked up his book again his thoughts going to his lover. "Huh I should take off early and go see Iruka...hehe I can bug him while he's teaching again." He said with a evil smirk forming on his lips.

(OMMMG!!! I GOT THE LIGHT SABER IN SILENT HILL 3!! *dies of happiness* keep this is the role play!! )

Sasuke sighed to himself thinking, 'I want to tell people.. but.. yet I don't ugh this is to confusing..' The raven haired male rubbed his forehead as he turned the corner to a road, accidentally bumping into a girl. "Oh uh sorry.." He murmured.

"Hi Sasuke-kun!" The girl said loudly and smiled up at him. "did you break up with the redhead? I don't see him around." She said smirking.

Sasuke's eyes twitched at the annoying girl and he sighed, speaking very slowly, "Alright.. why the hell.. would I.. have already broken up with a man.. that I just got with tomorrow.. I am not some stupid one nighter.." He glared at her and then added, "You understand..?"

"Well if I remember he is insane and a traitor..hello the examinations??" She said putting her hands on her hips. "His village attacked ours if i recall."

Sasuke's eyes flashed red for a moment but he made his anger dull down as he said through slightly gritted teeth, "Gaara-kun is not insane! And who cares, the past is the past..holding back and wanting revenge for things isn't good.. I have learned that.. so just shut your mouth.." He said going to walk around her.

"Sasuke?" The girl jumped from the sudden voice and turned to see the Kazekage standing there with bags in his hands. She quickly backed away from the sand user and turned running back over to her friends who were standing by a food stand. Gaara watched the girl a hint of confusion then looked back at the black haired male. "Everything alright?" He asked blinking.

The Uchiha glared at the girl and her friends and walks over to Gaara, reaching his hand up. Gently he tilted Gaara's head up and leaned down giving him a delicate quick kiss before pulling away mumming, "Yeah every thing's fine.. come on.. here let me carry those for you.." he said trying to change the subject as he took the bags from the smaller male.

The girl and her friends gasped and she glared at the Kazekage and pouted not noticing her friends were blushing. Gaara's face heated up and he smiled a little. "Thanks Sasuke-kun.." Gaara said and walked close to the older male.

When they walked passed the girls Sasuke couldn't help but look around Gaara at them and smirk mouthing 'see, fuck off,' to them and then he continued walking next to Gaara smiling. "Wat is all of this stuff?" He asked smoothly as he relaxed from his rage at the girl.

"Oh stuff Temari wanted me to get her...I think I got what she needed." Gaara said tapping his chin in thought. "She wanted a few fans from here and a dress.." The Kazekage said pointing to the bag filled with fans.

A chuckle left Sasuke's soft pale lips, "Your sister making you do shopping for her, isn't that nice," He said joking. A thought then grazed his mind, 'i wonder what he would look like in a women's kimono.. one of those sexy Gothic Lolita ones..' His eyes skimmed over Gaara's small body then he blushed and looked away. 'What are you thinking Sasuke?!' His brain scolded him.

Gaara shrugged his small shoulders then reached into his pocket a faint blush forming over his cheeks. "I took longer then I thought I would since I was looking for something.." He said rubbing his neck

The older man got snapped out of his thoughts and his eyes fluttered over to look at Gaara, "what were you looking for?" he asked as he turned a street his apartment just down the road now.

"A...A gift for you..." Gaara said looking down at the road shyly and pulling a small rock that was attached to a string from his pocket. "I'm bad at picking gifts since I can never really tell what people like so...I uh got you this.. its um red like your Sharingan."

Sasuke stopped walking and tilted his head, staring at the stone for a moment. "I have never gotten a gift from anyone before..not even the crazed fan girls have given me one.. thank you very much Gaara-kun.." Sasuke said as he leaned in and placed a chaste kiss on Gaara's lips.

The Kazekage blushed deeply and kissed back. "Y-Your welcome." Gaara said and rubbed his elbow. "I w-would have gotten you something well..bigger but i didn't know what you would like.."

Sasuke gave Gaara his 'prince' smile he only ever used to him and relied, "I will love anything you give me.." He stopped at the door and glared seeing he was unable to open it since his arms were full with the bags. A sigh left his lips as he did a quick sign with one hand and a snake formed off of his arm and turned the door opening it for him before sinking back into his arm.

Gaara jumped back in surprise seeing the snake and sweat dropped. "Wha?? Ehh?" He looked up at Sasuke then back at the snake. "What the hell?? I didn't know you could do that." Gaara said his eyes wide.

Sasuke shrugged it off not wanting to be praised for Justus he learned from Orochimaru. "Just something I picked up when i left the village.." He murmured and walked inside the apartment complex. He did the same thing with the door to his apartment but had some trouble with the keys. Once the door was opened he walked to Gaara's room and set the bags in it. "So I forgot to ask.. when are you going home..?"

Gaara was still a bit confused from the snake and lightly poked Sasuke's arm. "Huh?" He said blinking.

Sasuke laughed and pulled away from the touch, "hey that tickles, what are you doing?" he asked as he looked at gaara raising an eye brow.

Gaara blinked and folded his arms. "Uh nothing...where did the snake go?" Gaara said glancing around the room.

"They are a summoning animal.. they just form out of my skin then change back into it," Sasuke said softly as he wrapped his arm around Gaara. "Now answer me my Sexy lil' Gaa-koi, when are you going home?' He asked his voice as rich as chocolate.

"In two days." Gaara said blushing faintly from the arm around him. "Do you need to go on another mission?" He asked tilting his head. He lightly poked Sasuke's arm again where the snake had been summoned.

"Taking you home is my next mission," Sasuke said smiling as he brushed some of Gaara's hair out of his eyes. "And are you scared of the fact snakes came form from my arms?" he asked looking away a little.

"Wha? No. I was just trained to avoid snakes when I was younger. It just really surprised me is all." Gaara said snuggling up into the older male.

"Why? Snakes won't harm you, at least the ones I know of won't.." Sasuke replied as he raced up and ran his hand through Gaara's soft red hair.

Gaara's eyes closed half way at the feeling of the older males hand in his hair and he shrugged. "animals don't really like Jinchuuriki.." He muttered.

"Oh..hm.." Sasuke picked Gaara up and lead him to his own room, laying him down on it. Playfully he pounced on the smaller boy but winced when he felt the pain in his side. "god damn it.." He murmured laying over Gaara, his hands on either side of his small skull.

"Sasuke-kun?" Gaara gasped and placed his hand on his boyfriend's side. "Are you ok??" He asked his voice sounding worried.

"Tch yeah.. it just hurts.." He said lying knowing that he had reopened his wound. He closed his eyes and leaned his head down resting his forehead against the younger male's, "I love you.." he murmured trying t make Gaara forget about the wound.

"I love you to now take off your shirt and let me check your wrappings." Gaara said tugging at the older males shirt.

Sasuke grumbled and got off of Gaara sitting on the bed as he pulled his shirt off over his head. "It is alright.." the Uchiha mumbled trying to ignore the fact he could feel the warm red liquid running down his side.

Gaara went still seeing the blood then got up quickly getting the first aid kit, he set it back on the bed and got to work changing the black haired males bandages. "does it hurt..?" He asked after a few minutes.

Sasuke clenched is jaw and hissed a bit, "I've had worse.. this is nothing... I'm just not used to being hurt for awhile again.." He replied as he closed his eyes and held still for the redhead.

When the Kazekage was finished he throw away the blood covered wrappings and went into the bathroom to wash his hands. He frowned watching the blood go down the drain and cringed a little

Sasuke figured putting his shirt on again would be bad in case his wounds opened once more so he just laid back on the bed sighing. "This is what I get for being playful, see this is why I am not playful, anytime I try to do something I get hurt," He pouted and rest his hands behind his head.

Gaara walked into the bedroom and sat down on the bed. "I like it when your playful.. and you get hurt cause you seem to forget when you are wounded." The redhead pointed out and slipped off his boots and sat cross legged on the bed.

Sasuke gently grabbed Gaara's arm and coaxed him to sitting on his lap and he sat back up, wrapping his arms around the small waist. "Hmm.. I guess if you like it I can be playful.. but yeah I forget cuz I'm not used to it.." Sasuke murmured.

"I'm not used to wounds ether." Gaara said and rested his head back on Sasuke's shoulder. "How is your pain?" He asked placing one of his hands over his boyfriends a light blush on his cheeks.

The older male rest his head on gaara a sighed softly, "I don't feel it unless you touch it." After he explained that to Gaara he let his eyes slide closed.

Gaara snuggled into the Uchiha and smiled. "You should sleep.." He said and closed his eyes as well.

"Hmm.. but it is only the afternoon.. that would make us lazy.." Sasuke said as he nuzzled his head into the smooth neck of Gaara then his nose scrunched up, "You ave a layer of sand armor on.." He complained.

"We are ninja how are we lazy? And how can you tell?" Gaara asked and laughed a little.

"Because you were out in the village so I am assuming one.. two.. your skin feels slightly gritty compared to your smooth skin.." Sasuke murmured then growled when he heard his door bell ring. "Go away.." He murmured as he slipped his arms from out around Gaara's neck.

Gaara blushed a little at what Sasuke said then tilted his head when the door bell rang. "Huh? I wonder who that is..fan girls?" Gaara asked looking over his shoulder to see Sasuke.
