Gaaras' POV

I walked into the kitchen and saw the note I had left for Temari and Kankuro was missing. 'So one of them came home.' I also noticed Temari's shopping list was missing, which meant it had been Kankuro that had been home. I checked the time. It was almost five o'clock. Naruto sat at the table while I started dinner.

"Temari should be home pretty soon." I said, "Her shift ends soon" I started boiling water for the rice, Naruto walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my stomach. "Would you like to stay for dinner?" I asked.

"If it's okay." he said, resting his chin on my shoulder.

"It is."

"I should probably call Jeraiya-san and let him know. Can I use your phone?"

"Sure. It's over there." I said and I pointed in the direction it was in, "Just dial the number." He let go of me and walked over to the phone.

"It's Naruto…" I over heard him saying, "Yeah, I'm fine…I was with Gaara…Yeah, he's good…Can I stay over his house for dinner?…Thanks…Seven?…Okay. Bye" He hung up the phone and walked back into the kitchen. "He said I could stay, but I have to be home by seven."

I smiled. "No problem. Temari can give you a ride home." He out his arm around my shoulders and rested his head on my shoulder again.

Sasukes' POV

I changed into a long sleeved shirt, to hide the band aids and gauze. The band aids on my hands were still visible, but I could just tell him I fell, which was the truth anyway. I took the bloody t-shirt and towel to the laundry room and out them both in the washer. The sleeve of the t-shirt was torn, but I wanted to wash the blood off of it before I threw it out, incase Itachi saw it.

After I had turned the washer on I walked over to the table where Neji was sitting. I sat across vroom him. "So when were you going to tell me?" I asked, not looking him in the eyes.

"Never. You seemed so happy with Naruto. I'm actually surprised you never noticed. I thought it was pretty obvious."

"I-I'm sorry. Gosh, I feel so stupid now."

He smiled at me. "Don't. I tried to hide it. I didn't want you to notice. You almost found out once, when we were little, remember?"

I thought about it for a few seconds and realized he was right. "Why didn't you just tell me?"

"'Cause you were with Gaara then. After you broke up with him, I tried to tell you a couple of times. Then you started liking Naruto."

"Now that I think about it," I said, "it was actually pretty obvious. I guess I was just to dense to notice."

Gaaras' POV

A half hour and a couple of kisses later, dinner was almost ready. Temari walked in the door. "Mmmm." she said, "Something smells good." She noticed Naruto, who was now sitting at the table again. "Hey, Naruto! How's it been? I haven't seen you around here lately."

He smiled. "I've been good. And you?"

"Good."

"He's staying over for dinner, if that's all right." I said.

"Of course it is. He can live here if he wants to. It'd be a nice change, having someone who's always smiling instead of moping around." She looked at me. Naruto and I blushed, but Temari didn't seem to notice. "Do you think Jeraiya would mind if we swapped you two?" She laughed. I looked at Naruto and could tell he preferred what she had said first better, too.

Temari took over serving dinner and I sat down next to Naruto. We waited for Kankuro to come home before eating. Temari asked Naruto if he could stay the night, and Naruto said he'd ask Jeraiya. He called him after dinner and got the okay.

We played video games in the living room before retreating into my room. As soon as the door shut behind him, he flew into my arms, knocking me over onto the bed. We kissed each other as if it had been years since we had last. After that we just talked, occasionally kissing each other lightly on the lips, until he fell asleep on my lap. I stroked his hair gently as I watched hum sleep.

Sasukes' POV

"Maybe." he said, "But for you, it's okay."

I smiled. "Do you think you can forgive me and give me a chance?" I leaned across the table, moving closer to him.

"I think," he said, leaning closer, "I could." He closed the remaining gap between us. He licked my lip, silently asking me to open my mouth. I was about to when we heard the front door slam and we shot apart.

Itachi walked into the kitchen a few moments later. "Hey, Neji. Haven't seen you in a while." Neji smiled at him. "What's up with you?" he asked me. I was turned away from him, so he wouldn't see me so red.

"N-nothing." I said. 'Darn you, Neji. How come your not blushing too?'

"What ever." he said before turning and walking down the hall to his room.

I sighed in relief. "I thought we were busted." I said quietly.

"Me too." I saw that he was now bright red. I resisted the urge to say anything about it, as I felt my face cool down.

"You know what? Let's do this right." I stood up. He went to stand up too before I told him to sit, which he did. I returned to the table a few minutes later with two cup of hot chocolate, I sat down next to him. "Now, tell me everything."
