Crazy Love

'Lazy raccoon..' Gaara thought but more in a playful way then a insult. "Oh..thanks.." Gaara said and stepped into the house and looked around. He took off his shoes then looked at the wood floor. "I don't want to get water all over your house.." Gaara said since he was soaked from the rain.

"It is alright, I will clean it up with a towel. You can go take a warm shower if you would like," The leaf ninja said and walked over to the closet getting a towel and drying himself off. 'Tanuki! Not raccoon..' Shukaku complained back playfully then fell back asleep.

Gaara let out a small laugh under his breath then stepped onto the wood floor. "Uh...can I just have a towel?" He asked feeling awkward taking a shower in someone's house.

"Sure!" Lee said handing him a dark green towel then he stretched and went and got a water bottle from the fridge coming back out and plopping onto the couch. "Sooo movie or game? Or would you like to read? I have some books," Lee said smiling.

Gaara walked into the living room and glanced around feeling a little uncomfortable. "What ever you would like...or you could tell me more about yourself..I enjoy listening to people." Gaara said and started to try and dry off his hair since it was now flat on his head from the rain.

"Hmm alright. Well let us see.. what do you want to know about me?" He asked and glanced over at Gaara before looking away. 'He looks pretty hot covered in water..' Inner Lee thought and he spazzed. 'Stop thinking things like that!!'

Gaara tried to dry off the best he could then set the towel on the other end of the couch from Lee then sat on it not wanting to get Lee's future wet. "Well...what do you want me to know?" He asked and folded his arms tightly to try and warm himself.

"You can know anything I do not mind many personal questions.." Lee said and closed his eyes relaxing against the couch. Every part of him still ached from the battle but he kept trying to act like nothing was wrong for Gaara.

'Maybe I could ask him...no, that is not something I should.' Gaara took a moment to think then looked over at Lee. "Why did you become a ninja?" He asked and his eyes narrowed when water kept dripping into them from his hair.

Lee took an intake of breath and then started explaining why he wanted to be. After a few more questions Lee was finally more relaxed. 'Oh my kami.. you guys are so boring! Just ask him!' Shukaku yelled. Nope he had not gone to sleep. He just wanted to try and see if Gaara would loosen up a little bit. But it was sooo boring just listening to them talk about un important stuff.

Gaara sweat dropped and rubbed his forehead. 'Shukaku I am not going to ask him! Most people do not like males together.. I don't think he would be like that ether.' He sat up more in his seat and ran a hand through his hair trying to make it go back to normal.

'Gaara.. observe what is around you.. look at his book case.. notice something..? Those are all names of gay romance novels..' Shukaku pointed out and laughed a little. 'I do not think he minds it..' Lee stretched a little bit. "Anything else you want to ask me?" Lee asked. 'Ask him or I will take this into my own hands..' Shukaku told his host.

The sand ninja looked at the books then messed up his hair. 'W-Whatever...and what are you going to do he is all the way on the other end of the couch.' He thought back to Shukaku. "Uh...why do you wear spandex?" He asked not sure what to ask.

Shukaku sighed and as Lee was going to respond Shukaku made sand push Gaara into Lee and then move to Gaara's head moving it up to Lee's and pressing their lips together. The leaf ninja was needless to say surprised and stunned so he did not move. 'That..' Shukaku said to his host with a sly grin.

The sand ninja turned a dark red and froze for a moment feeling like his stomach was doing flip flops. 'T-This is a k-kiss...' He thought then jerked back and looked up at Lee scared he was angry. "I..I u-uh...t-the...L-Lee...g-gomen um...." Gaara cursed himself in his head since his voice refused to work. 'WHY DID YOU DO THAT?? He is going to hate me now!!' Gaara yelled at his demon in his head giving them both a head ach.

'Owww calm down and look at him you idiot! Stop yelling at me!' Shukaku yelled. "Umm.. i-it is alright Gaara-kun.. um.. did you want to do that or..?" Lee trailed off blushing dark and looking down. 'He probably did not mean to do that.. do not get your hopes up..' He thought to himself his heart beating a million times a minute.

'I can yell at you all I want you-...why is he red?' Gaara thought confused then looked down at his lap awkwardly scooting away from Lee to give him space. "G-Gomen...b-but it would not m-matter s-since you already have a m-mate.." He replied feeling another small pain in his chest.

"N-No... I said I have someone I want to be my uh.. mate.. as you put it.. and you know that person really well.." Lee muttered out and awkwardly coughed and scooted back close to Gaara. 'Seeeeeee I was right, you owe me something,' Shukaku told his host.

'Wha? He didn't say me baka!' Gaara yelled at Shukaku his heart still pounding in his chest from his first kiss, he almost still felt the warmth that Lee's lips had left on his. He looked up at Lee finely not able to stop himself from asking. "Who? Who do you want as your mate?" He asked wincing a little then getting confused why Lee had moved closer. 'Uh shouldn't he be moving away?? Not closer??'

"Well.. you..." Lee whispered out and looked away. "I am sorry if you do not feel the same way.. but.. I liked you before. I do not know why but I did.. and I still do.." He breathed out feeling it was hard to breathe confessing this. 'Told you! Burn baby! You owe me something! Hmm a nice rare steak crushed by the sand would be nice!' Shukaku yelled out happily grinning to himself, gloating about him being right.

Gaara eyes widened in shock and he blushed deeply. "M-Me? R-Really..??" He asked and then looked down awkwardly. "I...I don't understand my f-feelings...I know I always feel different around you...b-but I don't know what it is...I w-would not be a good mate...I don't have many emotions." He said and stood up rubbing his arm. "T-That pink haired g-girl would be a better match for you.." He said not able to hide the upset tone in his voice for saying that.

"Umm.. yes you would be a good mate.. and.. Sakura would be happier with Sasuke.." Lee said getting up and he gently placed his hands on Gaara's arms holding him. "And No.. you do have emotions.... you just do not show them.. but I know them.." Lee breathed out then hesitantly leaned in and closed his eyes halfway. "M-May I kiss you again..?" Lee asked not able to help himself. Before he had told Gaara a kiss was a way to say I love you to someone and he was trying to tell Gaara that he really did love him.

Gaara felt his heart skip a beat at Lee's words and he swallowed hard feeling his mouth had gone dry. "I-If you w-w-wish.." He stuttered his voice sounding shy. He never knew someone would see him in this way...would want to be this close...it was making his heart fill with emotions he didn't know he had.

Lee reached his hand up and hesitantly put his fingers onto Gaara's cheek before leaning in and kissing Gaara softly, putting the redhead's bottom lip in between his before pulling back. "Gaara.. I uh.. this is sudden.. but I do really like you.. and I do not want to hear you say things like 'I should get with Sakura' that make you so sad ever again.."

Gaara blushed darker from the kiss and lifted his hand up to touch his lips feeling they were tingling. 'W-Wow…' His light green eyes moved back up to Lee's face and he gave a small nod. "I s-still don't understand why you l-like me...b-but..what does this make us now? A-Are we uh...mates?" He asked and lightly pushed on Lee's hands feeling shy from being so close to Lee.

"Let us call it.. boyfriends.. mates sounds weird.." Lee said softly and moved his hands away from Gaara. "But.. still no touchy touchy I am guessing?" He asked. 'What ever you call it you still owe me host..' Shukaku murmured out.

Gaara nodded then moved to sit back down on the couch. "Alright...gomen..I am not used to another's touch...it will take me awhile to get used to it." Gaara said and pulled his legs under him still feeling cold. "Though...uh..k-kissing feels um...good.." He added blushing again and folded his arms. 'O-Oh shut up..fine I will get you a bloody steak sheesh....thanks..' He thought feeling weird for thanking his demon for something when normally he is always yelling at him. He looked up at Lee and tilted his head to the side a little. 'Lee is...what's the word...handsome..' He thought.

Lee stood there awkwardly and scratched his cheek. "So I can kiss you but not hold you..?" Lee asked then thought to himself. 'That is a bit odd.. but he is odd.. but I like that about him..' 'Sweet! My work here is done!' Shukaku yelled to his host.

Gaara blushed darker and nodded. "I have not even been hugged before...so..yeah.." He trailed off and kept staring at the older male. 'Ow..now your the one who should calm down.' Gaara thought to his demon.

"That makes kind of no sense Gaara-kun.." Lee said and walked over sitting next to him. "Umm.. a kiss is a little more.. uhh.. mature then a hug.. a hug is something that you would do in front of people more then a kiss.." He tried to explain. Shukaku pouted, 'Fine..' He said to his host.

Gaara looked down starting to feel embarrassed. "Do hugs feel good to? I see you give them to alot of people." He said and drummed his fingers on his arms a little.

"Umm.. well hugs make people happy.. so maybe.. uhh.. do you like things that feel good?" Lee asked his eye brows wrinkling together in slight confusion. 'Is he really so.. innocent..?'

Gaara tilted his head cutely to one side and blinked. "I don't feel many things...your the first to touch me without my sand armor...well in a way that does not make me bleed." He replied and squeezed a little water out of his sash.

"Oh.." Lee said awkwardly. 'Hm... I want to see him smile. If I can not make Gaara-kun smile right now I am going to do 200 jumping jacks tomorrow while training..' He thought to himself. "Gaara-kun.. I love you.. you are very sweet and I would never hurt you. if anything I would protect you with my life.." He said and leaned in kissing the side of Gaara's lips since he said that touch was ok.

Gaara's eyes widened and he moved his hands up to grip tightly on his shirt right over his heart. "Y-You l-love me?" He stuttered and felt his eyes start to burn. 'NO! I a-am not going to shed tears in front of Lee! T-That would be showing weakness!' He thought and felt his heart was pounding fast in his chest. "P-Protect me? J-Jinchuuriki's s-should not be protected.." He said.

"You are not a Jinchuuriki to me.. you are a human being to me.." Lee said and grinned widely. "Now let me see a smile.. please.." He said to his new boyfriend reaching up and hesitantly tracing his thumb over the soft pink lips.

Gaara blushed a dark red and shivered a little at the soft touch his eyes closing half way. "Y-Your...your so k-kind...I uh..d-don't smile.." He replied and stayed still enjoying the gentle touch.

Lee pouted a little bit and gently pushed one side of Gaara's lips up. "Oh come on.. not even for me..?" He asked. Then he thought for a moment and playfully reached down and carefully started tickling Gaara, "Come on.. smile.."

Gaara squirmed confused by the new feeling and grabbed Lee's hand with both his own. "That feels really weeeird.." He said and looked down at their hands noticing the size difference.

"Come on Gaara-kun.. one little tiny smile.. do not make me beg," He said softly and moved his fingers inner locking them with Gaara's and smiling looking at their hands.

Gaara blushed and shyly squeezed his hand. "Well then beg since I am not going to smile." He said and felt himself relaxing slowly. 'Your being silent Shukaku..' He thought.

'I am kind of in shock you are letting him touch you so much..' Shukaku told his host. "Please.. smile smile smile.." Lee said and kissed Gaara three times on his lips then pulled back. "What would make you laugh then? When people laugh they smile.."

Gaara blushed a dark red and looked down getting embarrassed. "I don't know what would make me laugh.." He said and rubbed his neck. "Uh...I d-don't really know how t-to kiss you back.." He said shyly. 'I don't think I could stop him from touching me...I am starting to enjoy it...he is being so gentle with me..uh though I am starting to feel really awkward…'

Lee blinked then blushed a little bit. "Um.. to kiss me back you just move your lips like I did to you.. like when I kiss your bottom lip you kiss my top lip.. alright..?" He told his boyfriend then carefully scooted closer. "Now come on.. I just want one small smile.. can you not do that for me..? Your new boyfriend..?" 'Then push him back and say he is getting too close. It is not rocket science host...' Shukaku murmured and closed his eyes oddly enjoying feeling the race of Gaara's heart beat.

Gaara blushed darker and lifted his hands placing on Lee's chest then shoved him back accidentally knocking him off the couch. "T-To c-close! I am not u-used to all this.." He said and looked down at his lap.

"Ow.." Lee grumbled and rubbed his back a little as he sat on the floor next to the couch. "I am sorry Gaara-kun, you did not have to shove me you could have done that gentler," He said to his new lover with a playful glare. 'Hahahaha! You actually pushed him, oh my kami that is sooo fucking hilarious!' The demon yelled cackling away in his hosts mind.

"S-Shut up Shukaku." Gaara muttered under his breath then got off the couch and knelt down next to Lee. "I'm sorry..I just kind of freaked out a little...this is the most someone has uh..touched me in years." He said looking down at the floor feeling guilty.

Lee got up and dusted himself off chuckling lightly. "No no no, Gaara-kun it is alright. Pushing me a little is not going to make me hate you it is alright," Lee said brining his hand up and messing up Gaara's already ruffled hair. "I love you regardless and I am sorry, I could not help it, I got a little carried away huh?" 'I should not do that anymore I do not want Gaara-kun un comfortable...' Lee then thought to himself.

Gaara rubbed his elbow and stood up. "W-Why do you keep saying you love me...I have not done anything for you to feel that strongly for...me.." He said and bit his lip a little. 'You better swear to me now that you won't harm Lee at all got it?' He thought to his demon.

'Hmm... fine I won't...harm.. him.' Shukaku mumbled out to his host but he obviously had a hidden evil intent in his voice and a sadistic smile. Lee on the other hand was oblivious to the conversation the two were having. "Yes you have, for one, you still have not harmed me since our battle. You came back to help me even though you betrayed me and you are very very sweet!" Lee rambled on about all the things that made him feel so strongly about Gaara.

'Shukaku...you scare me when you smile like that..' Gaara blushed at what Lee said and moved back over to the couch. "I could never harm someone who is so kind to me...and I am not sweet." He replied and folded his arms again.

"But.. you were just being sweet to me by saying that Gaara-kun.." Lee said softly and sat next to the younger boy really close not able to help it even though he thought to himself not to. 'Aww.. the little baby is afraid of my smile. I only smile like that when I find loop holes in what you say..' Shukaku stated still sadistically grinning.

Gaara blushed at their closeness and scooted away a little. "Whatever.." He muttered and rubbed his elbow again. 'Shukaku...I mean it! You better not try and hurt him at all.' He thought growling a little.

'I will not harm him at all.. just.. make things more interesting.. like this..' Shukaku practically purred out as he forced his chakra into some of Gaara's sand making it slide out of his gourd and over running up Lee's leg.
