Chapter 8: Broken

He had been chasing leads for weeks. It would seem that Naruto had left the county and he had help. Suigetsu found himself in unfamiliar territory. Walking down the streets of L.A. trying to find his target. Said target was a pink haired girl who was Kakashi’s secretary.

The night was hot and humid. He had been following her for a few hours. In his opinion she seemed a little off. He slowed his pace and watched as she entered a local bar. His objective was to find Naruto’s address.

Suigetsu entered the bar and ordered two drinks. With drinks in hand, he walked over to the pink haired girl.

‘Okay Suigetsu, time to use that famous charm of yours.’ A few minutes of idle chatting and drinking had brought up the topic of fashion.

“You seem to know a lot about fashion.” Sakura’s eyes perked up.
“Yeah, I’ve worked for a few fashion designers.”
“So who do you work for now?”
“I recently worked for Kakashi Hatake, until I was fired.” She took a swing of her drink.
“Why? You have a great fashion sense and you seem very passionate about designing.”
“Thanks but it seemed that Kakashi was playing favorites to that stupid blond. Fucking Naruto.” She continued to drink.
“Naruto Uchiha?”
“Yup.”
“Can you tell me where to find him?”
“Why?”
“I need to pass on some bad news. His husband back in Japan is very ill. I’ve been trying to reach him but he wont answer and I don’t know where he lives. I was hoping you could tell me.” He gave a pleading look.
“Sure, wish I could see his face when you give him the bad news.” She wrote down the address on a napkin and handed it to Suigetsu.
“Thank you.”

Naruto sat on the floor of what used to be his son’s room. What felt like an eternity but was only minutes, Naruto heard Gaara calling his name from downstairs. He had left the door open for the redhead. The soft thud of footsteps reached his ears. He looked up to see Gaara standing in the doorway.

Gaara quickly took a disheveled Naruto into his arms. Naruto cried into the crook of the other man’s neck. Sobs racked Naruto’s body.

“He’s gone!” He cried harder.

Gaara held on tighter to the blond. He kissed Naruto’s temple and ran his fingers through the other man’s hair.

“Kisho’s gone.”
“Where is he?” Naruto continued to cry.
“I-It was best…”
“What was?” Naruto tried to wipe his eyes.
“To give him up…it was all I could do.”

They sat in each others embrace. Hours had passed when Naruto had finally cried himself to sleep. Gaara gently picked Naruto up and headed to the blonds room. He pulled back the covers and placed him in the bed. Taking off his shoes, he tucked Naruto in.

Gaara watched as the blond began to toss and turn as if he knew the warmth that comforted him had disappeared. Gaara walked to the other side of the bed. He toed his shoes off and undressed, letting his clothes fall to the floor. Clad in his underwear, he slipped underneath the cool sheets and embraced Naruto from behind.

It was almost dawn when Suigetsu reached what was supposedly Naruto’s home. Hopefully Sakura’s information was correct. All he had to do now was watch and wait to see if Naruto would come out. He set an alarm for seven, two hours of sleep should be enough.

Gaara woke to the sounds of weeping. He pulled Naruto onto his chest. Naruto clung to pale skin and continued to sob onto Gaara’s chest. The soft hands that brushed his hair calmed him. Gaara watched as Naruto’s body slowly stopped shaking. In the background he could here the phone on the night stand ringing. Gaara reached out and picked it up.

“Hello.”
“Gaara?”
“Yes?”
“It’s Ino, Naruto’s assistant. Can I speak to Naruto?”
“Ino, he can’t come to the phone right now.” Naruto jumped at the mention of the woman’s name.
“I have to go to work.” Naruto mumbled.
“No you don’t.” He put his hand over the receiver.
“I have a lot of work to do, Kakashi just promoted me.”
“Naruto, I think you should take the day off.”
“Gaara, I need to keep my mind off of it.” He gave into pleading blue eyes and talked into the phone.
“Naruto is running late but he’ll be at the office in a few minutes.” He hung up the phone.
“Thank you Gaara.”
“I’ll drive you there and pick you up.”
“Okay.” Naruto pecked his lips and got off the bed to wash up.

Naruto entered his office. He was lucky to have avoided Kakashi but Ino was impossible.

“What were you up to last night?” She wiggled her eyebrows. Her smile disappeared as she saw Naruto’s somber face. “What happened?”
“Call Kakashi and see if he’s available to talk.” Naruto set up his work station while Ino talked to Kakashi.
“He’s free to talk now.”
“Okay.” They walked to Kakashi’s office and went in.
“Hey guys, how are you doing?”
“Fine.” They replied.
“What can I do for you?”
“I wanted to let you and Ino know why I walked out yesterday. Kisho will be traveling for awhile. He left last night and I don’t know when he’ll be back.” His eyes started to water.
“No one else knows?” Asked Kakashi.
“Just Gaara.”
“Okay, we’ll keep this quiet and act like everything is normal. Sasuke probably has someone looking for you and Kisho.”

Naruto’s sullen blue eyes looked down at the floor.

“If you need a place to stay you’re welcome to stay with me and Iruka.”
“Thank you but I already have a place.”

They returned to work. The office was quiet. Naruto put everything into his current project. But he couldn’t help that thoughts of his son still crossed his mind. He hadn’t realized the time that had passed until he felt arms wrap around him. Light kisses were placed on his neck.

“Mmmm…” He turned into Gaara’s arms.
“How was your day?”
“As good as can be expected.”
“Ready to go home?”
“Yeah, just let me clean up.”

The ride home seemed to go faster than usual. Naruto hesitated getting out of the car. Gaara watched as the blond debated getting out of the car or not.

“Do you want me to stay again?”
“You don’t have to.” Naruto looked down.
“You’re right, I don’t have to. But I want to.” He smiled in relief.
“Thank you.” Gaara’s hand cupped Naruto’s cheek and leaned in close.
“Anything for you.”

His lips met with Naruto’s. The blond melted into the kiss as their lips massaged each other. Naruto mewled as he felt Gaara nip at his bottom lip. He parted his lips to let Gaara’s sensual tongue in. They greedily tasted each other, swallowing each others moans of pleasure. Slowly they parted for air.

They got out of the car and walked into the house. Unknown to them Suigetsu had witnessed the whole scene. He called Sasuke to tell his findings. It rang once before an agitated Sasuke picked up.

“Where are they?”
“Well, I don’t know about ‘they’. But Naruto is in L.A. I’m sitting outside his new home.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ve been following Naruto since last night and I haven’t seen Kisho. Also, it seems that Naruto has a new boyfriend.”
“I’ll be there tomorrow.” He hung up. Suigetsu rolled his eyes and closed his cell phone.

He couldn’t believe this was happening. Gaara’s hard body was pressed on top of is. So many emotions were running through him. He had wanted this. He wanted those soft pink lips to trail all over his body and have calloused fingers touching the sensitive spots that made his body shiver.

His skin burned from Gaara’s touches. He wanted more, needed more. Bruised lips met with his. Warm flushed bare torsos rubbed against each other. Naruto’s nails dug into pale flesh as Gaara entered him.

He watched as the blond beneath him whimpered and his face contorted from the discomfort he was in. Gaara placed light kisses along Naruto’s collarbone. He shuddered as he felt a finger trail up and down his spine. He moved up to take the blonds’ supple lips in his. Their bodies rocked together. He groaned as he pulled out and pushed into the heat that was Naruto’s body. Their tempo increased, their bodies moving harder and faster against each other.

Naruto screamed out as Gaara angled his hips, hitting his prostate. Gaara smirked loving the scene of the blond withering beneath him. Naruto’s sight was blinded by a white flash as Gaara continued to pound into him. His moans became a plea for release as Gaara stroked his member. He was so close. A long moan left his lips as he felt himself explode into Gaara’s hand. Gaara thrust a few more times and joined Naruto in the ecstasy of release.

He pulled out and rolled over to rest beside Naruto. Catching his breath the blond curled next to Gaara, and kissed his love kanji.
