Sunshine

Gaara fell backwards on his bed trusting that the mattress would support him. Naruto slumped on the bed exhausted from their dinner with Temari. She grilled them both about what happened, but they didn't reveal everything quite yet. Their new found relationship was still too new for either of them. They wanted to keep it between them for now. Gaara knew when he told Temari she'd be happy. Part him thought she already knew. The way she was eyeing them like she was trying to figure out a secret that eluded her. But with time he knew she'd know. She always did. Kankuro was another story altogether. He hadn't seen his brother since last night. It was a regular occurrence with his elder sibling. He'd probably be back tonight or tomorrow. There will be more time to think about those things later and when they came to pass. Right now all he wanted to do was sleep. His bed was soft and comfortable, his body molded to the mattress perfectly. I don't think my beds ever felt this good. Gaara looked over to the drooping blond next to him. It must be because Naruto's here with me.

The sides of Gaara's mouth lifted into a tiny smile. Naruto glanced at him and caught Gaara staring. "What are you smiling about?" Naruto asked looking down at Gaara blue eyes hinting to something Gaara couldn't identify.

Gaara sat up and stretched like a cat ready for a nap. "Nothing." Gaara looked away from Naruto and pretended to study his wall. It wasn't that interesting.

"Hey look at me," Naruto whispered in his ear, warm breath puffing against his ear, sending tendrils of pleasure through him. Gaara shivered, he felt Naruto smirk against his skin. "Gaara look at me." Ice blue met azure knocking Gaara's breath from him. His breath caught in his throat and all he could do was look at Naruto. Naruto grabbed his hand and held it tightly with his. "We're together now. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I love looking at you." That made Gaara reel for a moment. Naruto liked looking at him? "You don't have to look so surprised. I don't understand how you don't have every one in our school chasing after you. They don't know what they're missing." Naruto's mouth slanted over his after he breathed his last sentence and captured his lips. Gaara's mind wasn't able to juggle two tasks at once especially the one about Naruto thinking that other people should be after him. His thoughts drowned out when Naruto's tongue found its way into his mouth. Naruto's tongue roused his into a battle of dominance, making Gaara's body come to life, his pants started to feel a bit tighter the longer Naruto kissed him. Gaara moaned when Naruto left his mouth to explore his neck and started sucking on his pulse point. "Can't believe your heart is beating that fast for me. Love to feel it," Naruto whispered hotly against Gaara's neck. And that made his heart beat all the faster. If they didn't stop soon their kissing would lead to something else all together. Gaara didn't think he was ready for that yet. No matter what his body wanted to do. Gaara's hand threaded through silky blond hair, he grabbed a handful gently, and pulled Naruto away from his neck. The blonds lips were kiss swollen going straight to Gaara's groin. Hair tousled, eyes bright with lust, and mouth reddened from kissing was a beautiful sight. Gaara didn't think any one could look better.

"What?" Naruto's words came out husky. Voice roughened from want.

"If you continue we might have a mess to clean up." Gaara try to emphasize his stress about the mess, but wasn't sure if it worked.

Naruto looked down at his crotch then at Gaara's. Both bulging from their overheated kiss. "Ah, I see what you mean. And I don't mind cleaning up the mess." Naruto licked his lips and Gaara swore under his breath at the reaction that happened in his pants. "I think I left a mark." Long fingers lightly touched his neck, sending thousands of sensations through him.

"You marked me?"

"Yeah, looks like I did." Naruto's eyes gleamed with a certain possessiveness that Gaara rarely saw from the other. It felt weird to want to be possessed more by Naruto as long as he could possess the other in return. Heart, body and soul.

Gaara saw the lust and heat fade from Naruto's eyes and he got a smiling bright blond that bounced on the bed with energy. He'd swear that Naruto sapped all his energy with their kiss. He felt bone tired. Too tired to think on the day's events or the nights. His high strung body sagged against the bed.

"You can't be tired already?" Naruto laid next him, interlacing their fingers in a gentle hold.

"Not all of us are balls of energy."

"All right. Then time for bed, I guess." Naruto pouted as he got up and started taking off his clothes. Gaara sat straight up.

His throat went dry and his tongue felt huge in his mouth. "What are you doing?" He said, somehow getting his mouth to work.

"Getting undressed. I'll keep my boxers on."

"Why wouldn't you do that?"

Naruto gave him a wicked grin. "I normally sleep in the nude."

Gaara's heart went into over drive. His stomach filled with butterflies that wanted to make their new home his stomach. "I'll go sleep on the couch." Gaara didn't think he could handle sleeping next to Naruto. Especially not after this afternoon. And then he'd be in nothing but his boxers. Only a thin piece of material between their bodies, keeping them from skin on skin action. Gaara grabbed his pillow and began to get up when Naruto slammed into him, straddling him to the bed.

"You're not going any where not when I finally have the chance to be with you after all this time. Don't worry Gaara it's not going to be easy sleeping next to you, but I get to be with you." Naruto's voice softened as he looked down at Gaara. Longing very evident in his gaze. He wanted to be next to Naruto too.

"I won't go anywhere. Now can you get off me you're heavy."

"Great and what do you mean I'm heavy?" Gaara rolled Naruto off and smile a little. It became easier and easier to smile now that Naruto was with him and more importantly beside him.

"I just said that to get you off of me." Gaara had to shake his head to get rid of the images that weren't helping his current situation.

"Fine." Naruto crossed his arms over his chest and jutted out his bottom lip. Gaara got up and nipped Naruto's bottom, surprising him into a yelp.

"Time for bed." Gaara took off his clothes and threw them on the floor, not caring where they landed. Naruto was already under the covers, staring at the ceiling, a grin on his face. Gaara turned off the light and slipped into bed and lay on his side. Naruto came behind and pulled him to his warm chest.

"Gaara?" Warm breath tickled his hair, lulling him further towards sleep.

"Hmmm?" Gaara yawned and scooted closer to Naruto.

"What was it like without me?"

Gaara instantly stiffened, not sure what to say and Naruto patiently waited for an answer.
