The Goth and The Jock

Gaara's tears fell and he pushed on Lee's chest trying to get away from him. "I d-don't w-want that p-pain! P-Please Lee...d-don't hurt m-me...d-don't h-hurt me l-like S-Sasuke d-did..." Gaara said letting out a sob his whole body trembling.

Lee's eyes widened, "Gaara... relax... I would never harm you... ever... Please calm down... Sasuke hurt you..?" He was starting to get angered, yet very upset and distressed seeing Gaara crying in his arms trying to get away. 'Is this what Naruto meant by our relationship will be a bit difficult now because of what Sasuke did..?' He thought to himself.

Gaara felt so weak for his boyfriend to see him crying and again tried to get away. "H-He....H-He..." Gaara swallowed hard and bowed his head as he said. "..H-He r-raped m-me..." Gaara said then sobbed hard into his hands

'I knew I should have killed when him I had the fucking chance....' Lee's mind thought angrily as he cradled thee younger boy. "Shh... Please do not cry Gaara... I will not harm you I will not do that to you... relax... shh..." He shushed the redhead in the calmest and sweetest tone he could try to help even though on the inside Lee was flipping shit.

Gaara buried his face in Lee's shoulder giving up on trying to get away and gripping tightly on his shirt. He tried hard to stop crying and cursed himself for losing control of his emotions like this.

Lee frowned and kissed Gaara's forehead, "Please calm down Gaara... I will do anything to make you happy again... I loved that cute smile you had earlier... I would pay a million dollars just to see it again... Please... be happy..." Lee said rubbing Gaara's back trying to sooth him.

Gaara felt his heart warm from Lee's words and throw his arms around him and hugged him tightly. "I d-don't deserve s-someone as k-kind as y-you." Gaara said starting to calm down a little but tears still steamed down his face.

"No... You deserve someone kinder... if not able to actually help..." Lee said feeling guilty that he was the reason that Gaara was crying this time. He had brought up the past and only pressed on it more and more. He should have shut u from the beginning in his mind.

Gaara's arms tightened around Lee and pulled him as close as he could get him. "Y-You a-are helping...I h-have bottled up s-so much..." Gaara said his voice shaking.

"Really..? Then I am glad to help," Lee said his voice cheering up just a bit more as he nuzzled Gaara lightly.

Gaara relaxed more and pulled back to wipe his eyes his tears finely no longer falling, he looked up at Lee and stared into his eyes. "Sorry for freaking out like that..." He said and pulled a string off his sweater.

"Oh no it is alright, I am just happy you are not so upset you would have left," Lee stated. He gave Gaara a chaste kiss, making it very quick and let go of the thin framed body.

Gaara blushed faintly then blinked looking down shyly. "You have such an odd effect on me...I never blushed when I was with Sasuke...or anyone else I dated..." He admitted and rubbed his elbow in an awkward manner a habit of his that showed he was embarrassed.

"That makes me feel very special than!" Exclaimed the happy male. He caressed Gaara's cheek lightly before nuzzling him once more. "You are soo cute..." He murmured.

Gaara blushed darker and glared at him. "I am n-not cute!" He said trying to sound tough but his voiced cracked proving he was awkward.

"Yes you are!~ Heh, the jock calling the Goth cute, an odd look," He said playfully as he messed up Gaara's hair.

"Hey! I'll get you for calling me c-cute!" Gaara said and got off the counter and tired to tackle his boyfriend.

Lee laughed and moved out of the way and poked his lover's side. "You cannot catch me! Nice try!" He grinned showing his pearly white teeth.

Gaara turned around and tangled his hands in his shirt. "I bet I can make you fall over." He said and moved a leg between Lee's and moved to the side trying to make him lose his balance.

Lee easily pulled his legs away from Gaara's and moved to the side grabbing his hands. "I am a soccer player Gaara, I can dodge people kicking at my feet," He said with a chuckle.

Gaara twisted and struggled trying to get his arms free. "Gah damn it!" He said and pushed on Lee's arms to force him to back up.

Lee flipped them around so Gaara's back was facing the couch and he pushed him back using all his strength so both landed on the couch. After that Lee started ticking the redhead's sides laughing knowing Gaara was going to c complain. "Cute cute cute!" he chanted out to Gaara playfully.

Kitty:
Gaara yelped when he fell onto the couch then started laughing as he was being tickled. "HAHAHA F-Fuck y-you! HAHaha!!" He yelled though he was not really mad at all.

"Is that an offer?" Lee said jokingly as he continued to tickle the squirming redhead. "You laugh is cute, you are cute. The cutest thing in the world! Simply adorable!" He yelled out, his voice chimed with glee.

Gaara blushed a dark red and squirmed around trying to get free. "HAHAHAHA S-Shut u-up I a-am AHAhahah n-not!!" Gaara placed his hands on Lee's chest and pushed hard rolling them off the couch and landing on the older male.

Lee blushed but continued to laugh as he raised his hands above his head, "Alright haha I give I give, you are not cute, you are sexy as hell," he said sticking his tongue out at the redhead.

Gaara's face turned the same color of his hair and he leaned down shyly pecking Lee's lips before sitting back up. "I a-a-am??" He stuttered sounding extremely embarrassed.

"Mm..." Lee licked his lips after the kiss enjoying it and his brown eyes danced with joy as he nodded to Gaara. "Yeah, You are... and beautiful... and handsome... and sweet... kind... gentle... everything... you are everything..." Lee said softly as he reached his hand up and placed it on the soft flesh of Gaara's flushed cheek, enjoying the warmth he felt from it.

Gaara felt his heart flutter from Lee's words and the hand on his cheek and reached up placing his hand over his boyfriends. "I t-think the s-same way a-about you..." Gaara whispered his eyes closing half way as he stared at Lee.

"That makes me really happy..." A sigh of content left Lee's lips as he pulled Gaara down close, their bodies pressed up against each other. "This is nice..." Lee whispered his voice barely audible, the relaxation he was feeling at that moment easily showed in his features and was heard in his voice as he cuddled with Gaara.

Gaara blushed and rested his head on Lee's shoulder and let his eyes close. "You're really warm Lee..." He murmured and started to relax feeling a little tired from crying early.

Lee moved his hand down and up the back of Gaara's shirt to rub his lower back lovingly. "You are too... you seem tired... relax and sleep I am sure we can for at least a little bit..." He whispered as his big brown eyes slid closed.

Gaara shivered at the touch on his skin and moved his head under Lee's chin. "Lee...I..." Gaara stiffened up as the door opened and Naruto walked into the living room. "Whoa! Hey I thought you were a uke Gaara why you on top?" Naruto asked smirking.

Lee coughed awkwardly and slipped his hand out of Gaara's shirt sitting up holding Gaara in his lap. "Naruto... D-Do not say stuff like t-that we were just cuddling..." replied the now blushing male as he looked away.

Gaara was blushing like crazy and lifted his head up to glare at Naruto. "G-Go away Naruto." Gaara said and the blond smirked more. "So Kiba what do you think of the real Gaara? Without all the makeup and stuff." Naruto said turning to look at Kiba who was standing behind him.

"Gaara you cannot just tell him to leave... this is mostly his apartment," Lee said with a sweat drop as he got up holding Gaara close. Kiba smirked, "I think he fits in with us perfectly, and let's put it this way, Lee and him work well together, they are gonna have wild times!" He said his smirk turning to a wide grin. "K-Kiba! Naruto... S-stop it... Me a-and Gaara are not involved like t-that yet..." He said remembering Gaara's freak out earlier.

Gaara turned red and glared at Kiba and Naruto but the blond laughed. "You glare doesn't really work when your blushing redhead. Buuut guess what I got you!" He said setting a bag in front of Gaara. "More normal clothes! Kiba and I walked for awhile to find stuff that would fit you what do you think?" He asked and Gaara looked in the bag and pulled out a dark blue t-shirt and looked at the other things in the bag. "Naruto...thanks..." He said smiling a tiny bit. "And I got poky for fuzzy-brows!" Naruto said throwing the box at Lee

Lee caught the box and grinned, "Thank you Naruto." He said happily as he glanced at Gaara before taking a piece of pocky out of the box. "Hey Gaara-kun here," he said putting the pocky to Gaara's lips.

Gaara blinks and opened his mouth his eyes softening as he looked at Lee. Naruto awed then playfully punched Kiba in the arm. "You need to get a boyfriend dude." He said laughing.

Lee smiled and put the pocky in Gaara's mouth then took the other side in his own, biting down it a little bit. Kiba glared at Naruto and rubbed his own shoulder, "Don't say stuff like that dude."

Gaara blushed faintly realizing Lee didn't mind being loving when his friends were around which made him a little happy even though still embarrassed. He was not to people showing him affection around others, all his ex's had acted like he wasn't even there when they were out and about. Naruto grinned and patted Kiba on the back. "I could help you get a date? And why can't I say that out loud everyone knows what your into." He said and crossed his hands behind his head.

Kiba glared at Naruto blushing faintly, "J-just cuz! Blondie shut it..." Lee glanced at his friend before continued to bit down the pocky reaching Gaara's lips giving him a soft kiss before standing up.

Gaara blushed darker and hide a smile as he stood up and looked over at the blond. "Alright, alright sheesh don't have a freak out." Naruto said and walked over to Gaara playfully messing up his hair pushing his bangs down so they covered his eyes. "Hey." Gaara said folding his arms.

Kiba looked away and leaned against a wall, "I'm not freaking out... just... I do not need a guy right now... I am perfectly fine by myself!" He yelled out. His natural male animal instinct wasn't allowing him to show weakness to his friends by craving love so he just pushed it away like any other guy would. Lee rolled his eyes at his friend, "Kiba, You should at least let Naruto help you, he is offering I mean... he did help me find Gaara I guess you could say..." He said with a faint blush.

Gaara fixed his hair and picked up the bag blinking when he noticed Naruto had gotten him a few sweaters. Naruto grinned seeing the older male blush and pushed him and Gaara together. "And you two are perfect for each other!" He said and turned to walk over to Kiba. "So what's the plan? You all want to hang out or do you and Gaara got a date or what?" Naruto asked sounding bored.

Lee rubbed the back of his head, "We can stay and hang out.." He said as his arm wrapped a little protectively around Gaara not liking Naruto pushing him around even if it was playfully. Kiba yawned a little, "I will stay if there is gonna be some fun, other than that I gotta get home and take Akamaru on a walk."

"Why don't you just bring that wolf with you? He would love Gaara! He has a way with pets." Naruto said and smiled seeing Lee's arm around the redhead. 'I am so happy for them!' He thought and opened the closet to look at the stack of board games. "We could play a game or go see a movie or...I dunno. Kiba stay and hang with us! You're on Lee's team you should hang out with him more!" Naruto said and Gaara pulled a little fuzz of his sweater. "I'll do what Lee wants to..." Gaara said glancing up at his boyfriend.

"The city has that stupid leash law remember, I do not think putting Akamaru on a leash is humane so... I cannot bring him everywhere Naruto... and I guess I will stay... we can play scene it, I like that game." He said and Lee nodded. "Alright... Naruto and Gaara you can be one team..." He murmured not liking it but putting up with it as long as he got to sit next to Gaara on the couch.

"YAAY!" Naruto yelled and glomped the redhead who yelped as he fell over. "Damn it Naruto stop doing that!" Gaara said giving a fake glare not truly mad. "Well still bring him over here he would have next time! I miss the big fur ball!" Naruto whined and pulled Gaara up onto his feet.

"Alright alright, He misses you too," Kiba said as he got the game and put it in then set up the board sitting in a chair on the right side of the couch. Lee sat on the couch on the right side and glared at Naruto a bit, "Do not hurt him..." He murmured referring to the fact Gaara yelped.

"I'm fine but my tail bone is gonna be sore for a while." Gaara said elbowing the blond and folded his arms again. "Haha oops." Naruto said and sweat dropped.

"Alright..." Lee said and glanced at the TV trying to not look being somewhat over protective of Gaara since they had just gotten together. Kiba tried to change the mood by joking around, "Come on you two, get your lazy asses up and come here."

Gaara looked up at Lee and placed his hand on the older males for a moment, he thought it was sweet that Lee was being protective and then removed his hand as he reached down to the poky box. "This is gonna be fun!" Naruto said grinning.

Lee grinned and playfully pulled on Gaara's clothing so they were sitting next to each other. An hour later the game was over and Lee had his arm wrapped around Gaara's waist. Kiba was yawning from being slightly tired, he had work at the animal shelter the next day and couldn't afford to be late so now as is times to say bye. "See ya later guys, sorry I do not want to leave but I gotta."

Gaara rubbed his elbow and folded his arms again looking over at the brown haired male. "Ok bye Kiba! Come again anytime!" Naruto said happily and flopped down on the couch his head resting on the redhead's leg. "My brain died." He said and Gaara smirked. "I thought it was already dead." He said and Naruto stuck his tongue out at him.

"Bye Kiba!" Lee yelled happily as Kiba left the house. Lee laughed and reached down messing up Naruto's hair then got up, "You guys thirsty?" He asked going to the kitchen to get himself a soda.

"It's like the desert!" Naruto whined and Gaara rolled his eyes. "I used to live in the desert so you have no idea what thirsty is." Gaara said poking the blonds shoulder and Naruto grabbed his wrist. "Just get us sodas Lee." Naruto said laughing.

Lee laughed at his friend and love and brought them both a soda, falling down into the chair Kiba was sitting in before since now Naruto was spread out over the whole couch except the part Gaara was on. "Naruto he has you beat there," He said.

"Nah I can take him." Naruto said and sat up going to get Gaara in a choker hold but the redhead easily pushed him off the couch then laid down on his stomach not really being able to take up the whole couch cuz of his height. "Ow! Ok I will get you for that!" Naruto said and got up sitting on the smaller males back. "Ugh get off me." Gaara said and looked over his shoulder to glare at the blond who messed up his hair again. "Aww what's wrong can't get up?" "Oh fuck you." Gaara said trying to roll the blond off him but squirming when Naruto poked a spot on the back of his neck. "Someone is ticklish!"

Lee sat his soda on the table and chuckled. "Oh is he now? Naruto hold him!" Lee spat out quickly as he tackled down onto the boys in the dog pile going to tickle Gaara after Naruto was holding him down.

Naruto held Gaara's arms and the redhead struggled. "Uh no no no no tickling!" Gaara yelled and tried to squirm out from under his friend.

"Yes yes yes Tickling," Lee repeated back as he laughed and tickled Gaara's sides and neck, trying to make him laugh really hard.

Gaara started laughing hard and struggled trying to get free. "F-Fuck you guys! HAHHahaha G-Get off me!" The redhead yelled and Naruto chuckled.

"Such foul language!" Lee said laughing. "Tickling is the only fit punishment," He joked around while tickling Gaara even more, finding the spot he was most ticklish and continuing to tickle him as much as he could.

"HAHAHAHA!! S-Stop! T-This is not a p-punishment it's a t-torture!" Gaara yelled and moved his head and bit Naruto's hand but not hard enough to hurt. "Oh god I'm infected! Noo I have the t-virus!" Naruto yelled since him and Gaara were both gamers and then turned and tackled Lee. "Lee is the only non infected get him!"

"Ah! Naruto you betrayer!" Lee yelled as he struggled to get away from the two smaller boys. "I am going to die! Someone help!!" "I will help you if you shut the hell up!" The neighbor next door yelled and Lee paused for a moment before laughing hard.

Gaara burst out laughing from his spot on the couch and Naruto held his sides from laughing as well. "Hahahaha this is why we need to get a house I think our neighbors want to kill us." Naruto said then blinked and looked at Gaara grinning at seeing him laugh on his own and not have to be tickled to hear it. 'Lee has really made him happy.' He thought.

Lee jumped up form under Naruto and helped his friend up then smiled seeing Gaara laughing. 'His laugh is cute....' He thought to himself before nodding in agreement to Naruto. "Yes we do... or maybe a nice condo..." He said with a soft content sigh.

"Well Lee we're almost there! Soon we will have enough money!" Naruto said grinning and looked at Gaara who blinked. "If we get a house Kiba could move in with us to! And you could have your own room Gaara." Naruto said and the redhead tilted his head thinking. 'I would rather share a room with Lee.' He thought glancing at the older male.

Lee frowned a bit at what Naruto said but then brought his smile back when he looked at him. "I know we are!" He said happily. The truth was; Naruto and him had enough money to move out, if Lee wanted to put his own house money into the mix. But he promised he would only put $50 a month towards a house with Naruto the rest for a house by himself and possibly his girlfriend or boyfriend if he ever got one and now that he had one he was rethinking a lot of things.

Naruto walked over to the couch and Gaara moved before he was sat on again. "Haha oh chill." Naruto said and flopped down on the couch. "Crap I got work tomorrow." Naruto said pouting and looked at Gaara. "It's your day off right?" The blond asked and the redhead nodded. "Then go to work with Lee his job is cool." Naruto said and yawned.

Lee sweat dropped, "Naruto I was going to work from home tomorrow on something special..." He murmured and glanced at Gaara before looking at the floor as he sat down on the carpet.

"Oh alright I'll just kidnap your boyfriend to my work for awhile. The zoo is a pretty neat place." Naruto said and yawned again feeling tired. Gaara picked up a book next to the couch and blinked seeing it was a manga and opened it.

Lee smiled, "That works... Oh... Naruto..." Lee got up and walked over whispering into Naruto's ear. "Please get me a picture of a king cheetah for a mask I am working on..." After what he said he glanced at the book Gaara had picked up and flipped. "D-Do not read that!" He said snatching it from the boy's hands.

"Huh? Why what's wrong?" Gaara asked and licked his finger getting a little paper cut. Naruto raised an eye brow and went into his room to get on the computer to get the picture Lee needed.

"It is one of my manga... it has lots of gore you know... you would not want to read it..." He muttered out hiding the romance manga behind his back trying to not let the redhead see what it really was.

"Who's the one who loves horror Lee?" Gaara asked raising a hairless brow and stared blankly at the older male

Lee opened his mouth to speak but found no word and he frowned, "It is just nothing ok? Do not read it..." He said his voice quiet as he turned around to take the book back to his room.

Gaara blinked a few times then tilted his head confused. "Could you bring me my album...?" Gaara called and laid back on the couch.

"Alright," Lee said as he went into his room. He set his book on his nightstand and grabbed Gaara's album walking out to Gaara, handing him it with a slight yawn.

Gaara pulled opened his album and sighed. "Thank you..." He whispered then looked up seeing Lee looked tired. "Go to sleep." He said.

"Not without you..." He said glancing at the door and going to check if it was locked. Something about Sasuke freaked Lee out and he was being extra careful he wouldn't get revenge on Gaara anytime soon.

"Nani? You only slept near me for like an hour so how would I upset your sleeping pattern?" Gaara asked and let his gaze move back to an old photo of himself as a kid.

"I do not want you staying out here by yourself... someone... could break in and harm you... now come on... if you are just going to lay there come in the room and lay down next to me.." Lee asked his voice sounding a bit like begging.

Gaara looked at Lee then got a playful look on his face. "But I'm too lazy to move." He said laying his arm over his forehead and smiled at Lee.

"Alright fine," Lee said walking over, He picked Gaara up bridal style with the book on his chest and grinned. "Now that I have my teddy bear I can sleep," He said leaving the lights for Naruto to shut off as he went into his room and shut and locked the door. He laid Gaara on the bed and turned on one of the desk lights so there was light in the room but it wasn't too bright and he snuggled in next to his loving redhead.

Gaara was blushing dark still not used to people picking him up and looked down shyly, he opened his album again and let out a happy sigh still feeling like this all was too good to be true. "Um...I'm n-not heavy right?" He asked sounding awkward.

"You are the lightest person I have ever picked up next to a child," Lee said softly. He wasn't sure if that was an insult or a compliment but it was the truth. He laid his arm over Gaara's stomach and rest his head on his own pillow as he smiled up at Gaara, "I love you..." He whispered in a loving tone.

Gaara blushed and turned the page in his album. "I l-love you to." He said and bent up his knees a little as he relaxed. "Your bed is comfy." He suddenly blurted out after a moment and scooted till he could lay his head on Lee's chest.

Lee rest his hand on the back of Gaara's head and closed his eyes listening to the soft breathing in the room as he relaxed almost enough to fall asleep, Yet he wasn't very relaxed still thinking about how he was going to keep Gaara away from Sasuke and vice versa forever.

Gaara started to doze off as well and pushed the album under Lee's pillow before closing his eyes and yawning.

Lee hugged Gaara close and both fell asleep happily.
