Our
New Bond
“Do
you know where Gaara is?” a blonde haired boy questioned other students who
passed by him continuously. And what he got as the answer was a big “NO”. Even,
there was a student who sarcastically answered his question, “What the hell I
care of it?” He really wanted to punch that bastard right there. Unfortunately,
finding the boy whose name was Gaara was more important for him than having a
little fight with that bastard. “Damn you!” he just mouthed those words before
leaving that bastard.
“Where
are you, GAAAARAAA?” finally he shouted in frustration. Everyone turned their
focus on him and glared at him peevishly. His voice was just like an alarm of
the big world war.
While
on a big tree, a redhead slept peacefully on one of tree’s branches. His one
leg slung on the air. His bangs covered his pale face. While the wind blew
softly, soothing him and making him drowned even deeper in his nice nap.
“Gaa-chan,
please, don’t hide yourself even more! I can’t stand it. It’s better to have
you shout right at my face than to be avoided like this”. The blonde mumbled
along the way, didn’t even care of anyone’s odd stare.
“NARUTO!”
having his name called by someone behind him, he stopped and turned to face
that person.
“Kiba?”,
he called his friend plainly. It was clear that he didn’t expect that Kiba
called him in this kind of situation.
“Doushita?
You shouted like a thunder and walked like a child who had lost his mom.” Kiba
asked him.
“Gaara…
he is hiding from me.” He said and sighed heavily.
“WHAT?
HAHAHAHA….” His friend just laughed at him. “What have you done to him, Bakka?
I think, this time he has left you to other country”, Kiba continued
devilishly. Can he be more respectable to his desperate friend and give more
sympathy? poor Naruto.
“Shut
the hell up! He won’t do it”, he denied Kiba’s words.
“Who
knows Naruto? Gaara is unpredictable boy”. That damn Kiba teased him.
“What
that means, Kiba?” he yelled, ready to punch his smugly friend.
“Chotto
matte! You didn’t mean to have a fight with me, right?”, Kiba restrained
Naruto’s hand that was already an inch from his precious face.
“I
did!” Naruto said, giving a death glare to Kiba who was stiffened to see it.
“Ah….Naruto,
I really didn’t mean it. L-Let’s find him… I- I- I will help you!” Kiba was
stuttering seeing his dumb friend going crazy like that. He was definitely a
monster right now.
“Fine!”
Naruto loosened his fist after thinking of it for awhile. Yeah… his
consciousness still laid in his mind anyway.
.
“So,
what have you done to Gaara actually?” Kiba said it cautiously, seeing his
still burning soul friend.
Naruto
stopped his walk before he started to speak like a dumb- again, “I- I- you know
what I feel for him, right?”
“Of
course, Naruto!” Kiba said it in soooo high sighed. How could that bakka-Naruto ask the so-obvious-thing anyway?. Wait…. It was
just Naruto was bakka. “So?” he
continued asking.
“I-I-I….”
Naruto stopped his words and shook his head. How could he say it aloud? It was
an of course NOT.
He
leaned closer to Kiba’s right ear and whispered, “I-I- I almost ravished Gaara
last night.” It was a so slow tone that only Kiba who could hear it. But it was
more than enough for Kiba to shout right there.
“WHAAAAAAT?
You did it though you knew he’s straight, huh? BAKKA!”
Naruto
clasped Kiba’s mouth before everyone who had stared at them now knew what they
spoke about. It’s for his sake, of course.
“Is
it necessary to shout like that, Kiba? And it’s not like I had done it already… it’s just I almost did it… almost…
you understand?
“NO…
Not before you tell me the detail!”
“Forget
it!” Naruto said it sarcastically, leaving his persistent friend.
Unfortunately, Kiba grabbed his hand and pulled him to one of empty rooms
forcefully.
“What
is it, Kiba?” Naruto shouted and tried to release his hand, but Kiba’s grip was
so tight.
“Listen
to me Naruto! I’ll help you if you wanna tell me the detail, ok?” He convinced
Naruto.
“Believe
me!” Kiba said it with a-don’t you dare
to disobey me-look, making Naruto gulped his saliva down through his throat
hardly.
“Are
you going to tell the detail Uzumaki-san?” he smirked
“Y-Yes,
S-Sir!” and Naruto trapped in Kiba’s hypnotic.
“Good
boy”.
#Flashback#
“Gaa-chan, you wanna
watch a movie in my house tonight?” Naruto offered an invitation to his friend
through the phone.
“Well, OK!” His friend
accepted it with a so flat tone.
“Yatta!!! I’ll wait you then. Ja nee!” he said
cheerfully before closed the phone.
.
In Naruto’s house.
“Jya,,, what film do
you wanna watch, Gaa-chan?” He asked his friend while searching his DVDs.
“Anything you want”,
again… Gaara said it in an emotionless tone. It didn’t mean he wasn’t
interested though, it was just his so emotionless behavior. Naruto had
accustomed to it anyway.
Naruto picked up the
film and started to play it. They sat side by side. Oh really! It had already
made Naruto felt freakishly nervous. Besides, they were all alone in that
house. Naruto definitely had a hard time to control his pervy mind.
‘Ok… Naruto! Focus on
that film’, he convinced himself, just to distract his own mind that grew even
wilder.
“Naruto, are you
alright?” Gaara asked, startling him from his thought. He looked at his redhead
whose face was full of worry.
“Ah…it’s alright,
Gaa-chan!” he reluctantly drew a fake smile to cover up his nerves.
Both of them turned
back their focus on that film.
Silence….
“D- Do you wanna eat
something?” Naruto offered, trying to break the silence between them but there
was a nerve in his words that made him look even different.
“No, thanks!” Gaara
said plainly. “Naruto, you look weird.” He said blatantly without looking at
the person he meant, his focus still on the screen.
“What? Me?” Naruto
shocked. ‘Does it mean Gaa-chan has realized my nerves?’ He questioned himself,
exactly regretting his awkward act.
“Ah… I just… feel a
little hot now.” Naruto said without thinking. Gaara looked at him with his
questioning eyes.
“I-I meant this room
is hot”, he added, smiling sheepishly. Gaara just nodded as the response.
2 hours had been
passed, seemed that the film had ended now, looking at the screen which only
showed the credit of the film.
“It’s 11 p.m. already.
Can I sleep here? I’m just too sleepy to go home”, Gaara said it, he hadn’t
even thought what would happen if he stayed there any longer.
Hearing what had been
said by his beloved best friend just
made Naruto confused. He was happy to have Gaara stayed by his side, but he was
also afraid that he couldn’t control his now
so wild mind. Just looking at Gaara’s face had made him wanted to ravish
him. But, of course he shouldn’t do it for their friendship’s sake. So, what
should he do now? Asking Gaara to just go home? No, he couldn’t do it because
Gaara looked so sleepy, he had yawned 5 times already.
“Ah…OK! You can sleep
on my bed. I’ll sleep on the couch.” That’s his final decision.
“Why? We can sleep on
the same bed. We’re friend and we both are guy, right?” Gaara said it
innocently, he really couldn’t understand how hard Naruto not to ravish him
right now! Well… Naruto had kissed him on the lips a month ago, and it ended up
with Gaara smacked Naruto’s head hardly, and… How could he forget it already?
Could he understand Naruto’s feeling, oh… my innocent and emotionless Gaara?
Poor Naruto.
“Ah…that’s right!
But…” Naruto hadn’t even finished his words, Gaara cut it already.
“Jya… Oyasumi,
Naruto!” he said, walking to the bed and laying on his stomach. He shifted
himself a little to give more space for Naruto. It made Naruto crazier. His
mind wanted to break his control right now.
He walked to the
bathroom instead of sleeping beside Gaara. He did need to cool his mind now.
He walked back to his
room after some minutes. And guessed, what did he see now?
He saw Gaara slept supinely
on his bed, his eyes shut nicely, his lips opened a little, his hair was in a
mess, his black shirt raised a little, showing his pale skin underneath it, and
his jeans hung low on his hips, showing the top of his red boxer.
Naruto’s eyes widened,
his nose was bleeding, his breath was going harder, his heart was beating
faster, faster, and it was too much for him.
He walked closer
toward the bed, leaned in to get closer to Gaara’s face. He kissed the redhead on
the lips. No reaction. He deepened the kiss. No reaction. ‘Ok, this is the last
before I go to sleep’, he said in his mind, smirking. He leaned in and kissed
the redhead once again. This time was deeper, gentle, but full of lust. He
broke the kiss and faced the redhead. He still slept peacefully. Naruto trailed
his hand to caress the pale cheek, it was so soft. He leaned in again to kiss
that soft pale cheek. Then, he shifted the bangs of the crimson hair, appearing
a tattoo “ai” that was carved on the redhead’s forehead. He kissed that tattoo
lightly. There was still no reaction. His lustful eyes still landed on the
redhead face. His heart demanded more, but his mind had fought each other.
‘Naruto, stop it
before everything goes even worse’, his angel side said it to him.
‘There is no other
chance if you stop it right now. The redhead is soooo tempting. Don’t you want to touch him more, Naruto? That delicate
pale skin, those moist lips, don’t you want to taste them even more. Naruto?
Just do it, ok?’ his evil side whispered it to him, making him crazier.
‘Don’t Naruto!’
“Do it, Naruto!’
That’s how they fight
against each other. Naruto shook his head, clearing his crazy thought, but
unfortunately, his mind was going darkened, it was full of lust. Well… ok! He
was a hormonal teenager anyway and Gaara just looked so seductive. So don’t blame Naruto if he was going wilder now.
Naruto kissed Gaara’s
lips even deeper before he trailed the kisses along Gaara’s neck, nibbling it delicately.
‘What a sweet taste!’ he thought. But then… a sudden movement startled him. His
eyes widened when he saw Gaara had opened his eyes, looking at him in horror.
They jumped back in unison.
“What did you do to
me, Naruto?” Gaara snapped him; his face was full of anger.
“I-I……..” Naruto
wanted to say something but it was just too hard for him, he felt something
hard had choked his throat.
“You! Bastard!” by
saying those words, Gaara slipped down from the bed and walked away, leaving
Naruto behind.
Naruto hurriedly
grabbed his hand, “Gaa-chan, gomen! I- I…” Naruto hadn’t finished his words,
Gaara had swatted his hand.
“Don’t you dare to
touch me, bastard!” He said it sarcastically, not even notice how hurt Naruto
was.
#Flashback End#
“You’re
in a big problem, dude!” Kiba said, tapping the blonde’s shoulder.
“I
know! That’s why I have to find him and apologize deeply”, Naruto said
hopefully.
Then
they walked around the school to find that certain redhead who was actually
sleeping on the tree.
.
Gaara
opened his eyes, yawning while stretching his hands up. ‘What a peaceful nap’,
he thought. Then he jumped down the tree, walking toward the school building.
There… in the corridor, he faced Naruto who was walking with Kiba. He stopped
in his place, gazing of his full worries friend.
“Gaa-chan!”,
Naruto called out his name before he turned back to avoid Naruto. He just shut
his mouth, staying still while Naruto was running toward him.
“What
do you want?”, He snapped his bestfriend who now was standing in front of him.
“Eh?
I- I want to apologize”, Naruto said, there was a regretful feeling in his
eyes. Gaara saw it, but why it’s still hard to just say, ‘I forgive you’.
“I’m
afraid that you’ll molest me even more if I forgive you”, Gaara said bluntly.
“I-
I won’t do it. I promise!” Naruto tried to convince the redhead.
“Can
you keep that promise, huh?” ‘Why it’s hard to say ‘ok’ instead of being
angrier’, Gaara thought, regretting his action.
“Gaara!
Don’t you become so ridiculous! Naruto has apologized, right? Why don’t you
give a chance?”, Kiba interrupted, he couldn’t stand looking at his desperate
friend, Naruto. He did want to help him.
“So,
you blame me now?” again… Gaara couldn’t control his emotion.
“Yes,
because you’re a selfish person. How can you become so persistent and don’t
want to forgive Naruto, your best friend who always stays beside you and loves
you so much?” Kiba really got angry by Gaara’s ridiculous action. Gaara just
kept silent.
“Is
loves someone wrong, Gaara?”, Kiba said continuously. Gaara didn’t even react,
still staying in his own thought.
“Enough
Kiba! You don’t have to say anything again”, Naruto interrupted. “Hountou ni
gomen, Gaa-chan!”, he bowed deeply in front of Gaara. “I do regret what I have
done to you if you want to know. And I promise I won’t disturb you again if you
want it.” Naruto continued before he left. There were tears falling down from
the corners of his blue sky eyes. It hurt Gaara to see it, but he couldn’t do
anything because his selfishness didn’t want to give up.
.
3
days had been left, for that long Gaara hadn’t seen Naruto since he was absent.
It made him desperate so much. Naruto was annoying cheeky brat, but he was also
the one who made Gaara’s life became more colorful. His cheerful wide smile,
his foolish act, his company, Gaara missed all of them. He became more
regretful when he remembered his previous act. How could he become so
ridiculous and persistent to his only best friend? Was it because he didn’t
want to lose his pride by being a gay or was it because he really didn’t want
to lose his precious word called “best friend? What was it? He even remembered
what Kiba asked, “Is loves someone wrong?” ‘No, of course not’ he thought. But
why he disliked Naruto who loved him? Gaara’s mind was full of thought that was
enough to make him crazy. “Aaarggh…!” he was gripping his crimson hair in frustration.
“Regretting
your dumb mind, huh?” someone interrupted his thought. He looked up to see who
that person was. There… Kiba was standing beside him, showing his annoyance to
him.
“What
do you want, Kiba?” he asked roughly, sending his death glare, hopeful that
Kiba was afraid then ignored him.
“Aiish….
This boy! You were an evil boy! I wonder why that stupid brat loves you
anyway”, Kiba spoke. Gaara still wore an irritated mask on his face, though
there was no seriousness in Kiba’s words. “Ok, I don’t wanna have a fight with
you. I just want to give you an advice. I think you should go to meet Naruto.
It’s for your friendship’s sake.” Kiba continued before took his leave.
Gaara
did agree with Kiba’s advice. He should meet Naruto before everything went
worse and there was no the word “friendship” between him and Naruto.
.
Gaara
made his way to Naruto’s house after school finished. He was standing in front
of the door of Naruto’s house now, feeling hesitant whether he knocked it or
not.
‘Tok..tok..tok!’
yeah… finally he knocked the door after thinking for some times that looked
like an eternity for him. But, there was no answer. He knocked again. There was
still no answer. He knocked louder, still there was no answer. ‘Is Naruto not
in home?’ he thought. But when he touched the door’s knob, there was a crack
sound, a sign that the door wasn’t locked. He decided to enter Naruto’s house
so slowly, like a professional thief already.
“Naruto!”
he called his friend, and he got no answer still. Then he made his way to
Naruto’s bedroom. And it’s shocked him when he saw his best friend laid down
weakly on his bed. His eyes shut in pain. Sweat ran through his head. He walked
closer and touched Naruto’s forehead. It was hot enough to be called as a high
fever. “What had happened to you, bakka?” he asked his unconscious friend who
wouldn’t answer him with his now condition anyway. “Wait, is it because of me?”
he asked dumbly to himself, and the answer was absolutely YES. Who else, huh?
He
hurriedly looked for the cool water to wash Naruto’s fever away. He sat beside
his best friend and placed a small towel that had been dipped in the cool water
on Naruto’s forehead.
“Gomen
Gaa-chan!” he heard Naruto murmured, his eyes still shut tightly. But then, the
tears started to run from the corner of his eyes. Gaara’s heart was aching. He
never thought before that his selfish act would hurt his best-friend.
“Gomen
Naruto!” he said regretfully. He took Naruto’s hand and held it securely.
“Gomen!” he apologized once again.
Feeling
Gaara’s presence near him wakened up Naruto from his unpleasant long sleep.
“Gaa-chan!”
Naruto eyes grew wide. His voice startled Gaara
“Naruto,
you woke up?”
“Gaa-chan,
y-you come h-here? W-why? I- I thought that y-you hate me”, Naruto was
stuttering.
“I
want to apologize”, Gaara said slowly.
“No…
you don’t have to, I was the one who should be blamed. I- I- I had made a big
mistake to you. I- I’m so sorry, Gaa-chan!” Naruto… once again bowed deeply to
Gaara.
“Don’t
apologize again Naruto! It was…. Well, just forget what had happened. I have
forgiven you.” he convinced his best friend.
Naruto
just looked at Gaara intensely; he wanted to find the sincerity of Gaara’s
words. And he found it; Gaara’s eyes told him the truth that the redhead did
forgive him.
“Arigatou-ne,
Gaa-chan!” Naruto said, bringing the redhead to come closer and hugging him
tightly.
“Ah…
gomen! I shouldn’t hug you, I have promised…” Naruto said, remembering his
promise not to do anything that Gaara didn’t want to.
“I-
it’s ok, Naruto! I- I don’t mind it”, Gaara said, blushing. What? Why was he
blushing anyway?
Naruto
was smiling when he looked at his redhead blushed lightly. But he covered his
mouth, didn’t want the redhead questioned him when he caught him smiling. It
would definitely ruin everything again.
“Naruto,
do you wanna eat something?” Gaara offered, trying to break the silence.
“No,
I don’t want it. Just… Can you… umm… stay beside me, please!” Naruto pleaded
cautiously, he didn’t want to make Gaara angry at him by his pleading but he
couldn’t help it. He wanted Gaara to stay by his side now.
“Ah…umh…
yes!” Gaara tried to say it calmly, but he failed. His heart was beating faster
unexpectedly. ‘What was wrong with me?’ he thought. His face was reddening now.
It
was silent before Naruto said his words.
“Gaa-chan,
sorry for loving you!” there… he said it, his voice was calm but somehow it
brought an unnerving aura, making the redhead guilty. “I don’t want to ruin our
friendship by it. But, I also couldn’t stop that feeling. It grows even deeper
without I notice it. Sorry Gaa-chan! But please, don’t hate me! I couldn’t bare
it”. Naruto’s words were like a thousand knives that stabbed Gaara’s heart. It
made him guilty even more. He couldn’t hurt Naruto. He couldn’t see Naruto
became sadder. He just… he should try it, letting Naruto to love him because
maybe, he could love him back. Well, he had loved Naruto as a best-friend. So,
maybe if he wanted to try, he could love Naruto as more than a best-friend.
“I-
I- I’ll try it”, he stuttered, still doubting his decision.
“Eh?”
Naruto tilted his head. He didn’t understand what Gaara meant.
“I-
I said I’ll try it. I- I will try to love you.” He said it, clearer now though
still stuttering.
“A-
are y-you sure for what you have said, Gaa-chan?” Naruto asked since he doubted
his own thought. It was like a hallucination for him.
“Well…
yeah!”, Gaara said lowly, his face was burning hot to just say those words.
“I-
I…”, Naruto couldn’t say anything. He was soooo happy to hear it. He hugged the
smaller teen tightly.
“N-Naruto,
I- I can’t breathe”, Gaara complained; he even thought that this hug could
break his bone.
Naruto
released his hold. “Ah… sorry. I was too happy.” He was grinning in happiness,
scratching his nape awkwardly. While Gaara jus nodded, blushing even deeper.
‘Oh!
That’s cuteee….’ Naruto thought. His redhead
was so cute when he was blushing and he loved it so much that he couldn’t
restrain his urge to do what his thought wanted to. He touched Gaara’s chin,
lifting his face up. Gaara didn’t complain and it’s encouraged him because he
considered it as a sign that Gaara allowed him to do it.
He leaned in, crashing his lips against
Gaara’s soft lips. Gaara widened his eyes, he hadn’t prepared for the kiss yet.
But, Naruto was trying to distract his thought by deepening the kiss. It was
gentle and demanding. Slowly, Gaara shut his eyes, answering Naruto’s kiss. His
mind started to enjoy the hot sensation that made his body shivered in ecstasy.
‘Does this mean I like Naruto?’ he asked to himself; he was drowning to his own
thought before Naruto suddenly bit his bottom lip, making him shuddered. He
didn’t know how to react. Naruto pulled back and looked at him. “Don’t shut
your mouth tightly when I kiss you, Gaa-chan!” he whispered those words to
Gaara. Gaara blushed while Naruto smirked. Then, they resumed the kiss.
This
time, it was going more passionate. Naruto once again bit Gaara’s bottom lip,
asking for entrance. Gaara followed the action slowly; he opened his mouth a
little that was enough for Naruto to slide his tounge inside Gaara’s mouth.
Naaruto wasted no time; he delved into Gaara’s sweet mouth gently, exploring
the wet cavern. The taste of the redhead ensnared his senses and made him groan
with longing. The sweetness of Gaara's mouth captured him and held him there.
He wanted more, more of the delicate kiss, more of this sweet taste, more of
the redhead and above of all, he wanted Gaara's love. While Gaara felt
something weird hit his head. He was unfamiliar with this sensation. He was
never ever kissed by someone. Naruto, his only best-friend was the one who did
it to him. But why it felt so right when Naruto kissed him? Shouldn’t he be
disgusted? But why he enjoyed the kiss? His mind was full of thought but, then it
was distracted by Naruto’s action. Naruto pressed himself closer to Gaara.
Gaara started to give a response, leaning into the kiss; he ran his fingers
through Naruto's hair. He tangled his tongue with Naruto’s, starting a battle
for dominance between him and Naruto. Gaara didn’t know what was happening to
them. He just knew that it felt good and he - he wanted more. They broke the
kiss, panting slightly; they needed to take as much as air to fulfill their
hungry lungs after sooo hot long kiss.
Naruto
stared at his redhead whose face was still blushing like a tomato. He rested
his hands on Gaara’s shoulder. “Gaa-chan, I love you!” he said those words,
hopeful that he would get a response this time.
“I-
I think – I think I start to like you too”, Gaara murmured. ‘Like? Ok… it’s enough for now. Maybe,
next time that word will change into Love.’
Naruto thought, feeling happy enough with what Gaara felt to him though his
redhead hadn’t been sure for his own feeling now. But, Naruto believed that
next time, his redhead would love him too.
“Arigatou
for liking me, Gaa-chan!” he said reassuringly while hugging his redhead,
giving him the warmth. The redhead just nodded in his hug.
Well…
It was still the beginning of their new bond. That ‘best-friend’ word would be
‘boyfriend’ so on because everything could change to make this world not going
so flat.
.
Omake
In
another room, Kiba was grinning happily while watching a small screen in front
of him. ‘I don’t expect that their relation turned so drastically like that.
But… it’s good since the plan worked well or even better than what has been
expected’ he told himself.
So?
Well… yeah… you’re right! It was Kiba’s plan to make the two got together. Narugaa’s
shippers should give him a big hug for his success plan. ^___^V
