Going to the training ground for team practice, Lee was surprised to find Gai-Sensei and his teammates standing around not practicing. As he got closer he noticed the little girl that was standing beside his Sensei. She looked to be about a head shorter than him, and around fifteen years old. She wore a white kimono with a gold dragon coming over her shoulder meeting with her gold sash the dragon almost blending with her short blonde hair, but her eyes were what caught the most of his attention as their blueness popped out at him as well as how big they were. As he approached them he noted the black dragon doll she was holding.
"Ah Lee!" Gai-Sensei smiled widely and pulled him into a hug. "Kana-chan this is Rock Lee." He told the little girl rather loudly.
The girl nodded slightly. "I am Kana Hideka." Her voice was soft like Hinata's but some where within it held a bite.
Nodding Lee took out a little notebook looking at his Sensei as he began to explain why she was there.
Giving the kid with a bowl cut a weird look Kana rolled her eyes. 'Why did Daddy have to set this up?' She thought as Gai-Sensei explained.
"It is our mission to escort Kana-chan to her Father's place." Gai-Sensei said happily.
"Where does your Father live?" Lee asked her softly, well for him.
"In Wave." Kana said snappily.
As she said this Lee realized he wouldn't see Gaara for a least a week and felt a little down hearted but smiled brightly anyway and kept taking notes.
"Why don't you explain the details." Gai-Sensei suggested to Kana.
"Basically you will be escorting me to my Father's mansion in Wave." Kana said not looking at the group but at her dragon. "I'm to met my arranged husband." She said softly. "He is the top merchant's son in the land of Wave. So you were hired to escort me in case of any jealous families sending shinboi to stop me. So your job is to make sure I arrive safely." She repeated what her Mother had told her to tell them. "We leave tomorrow at dawn." She said before looking up at Gai-Sensei then at Lee, noticing their similar appearance.
Gai-Sensei nodded at her and smiled. "That is our mission. We must carry it out with Youth!" Gai-Sensei made a nice guy pose and beside him she rolled her eyes. "For now you are dismissed." He was a little surprised when Lee ran off but he smiled knowingly as he thought of his favorite pupil being in such a youthful love, for every love is youthful!
Lee ran off immediately even though he was wanting to talk to Gai-Sensei he was wanted to tell Gaara more. Which actually surprised him as he found himself in front of Gaara's door. Knocking quickly Lee thought about what he would tell him about the mission.
"Lee?" Temari answered the door a little surprised to see him since she was expecting Shikamaru. "Gaara's in the kitchen." She smiled letting him in and leading him into the kitchen then leaving the two of them alone.
"Lee? Didn't you have practice?" Gaara sat at the table having heard Lee at the door.
"Um…We got a mission." Lee scratched the back of his head.
"What's the mission?" Gaara asked motioning Lee to sit while he poured some tea setting it before him. Temari had just finished teaching him how to make great tea so he could serve some to Lee.
"Thank you." Lee smiled taking a sip. "This is good."
"Thank you." Gaara smirked a little kissing Lee's forehead. "So your mission?"
"Well…" Lee frowned. "Our mission is to escort a girl named Kana Hideka to the land of Wave."
"That would be about a week's travel." Gaara said slowly and Lee nodded. "When do you leave?"
"Tomorrow at dawn." Lee frowned once more holding his cup of tea.
Gaara ran a hand through Lee's hair. "It's alright a week's not that long and we knew that you would get missions." Gaara said softly.
"You're right." Lee smiled a little.
"Come on Lee." Gaara kissed his forehead again. "Where's this youth you're always talking about?"
Lee smiled widely and stood up suddenly giving a nice guy pose. "Yosh! You're right Gaara a week isn't that long."
"But you should get your things ready." Gaara reminded him and received a smile as Lee grabbed his hand and began to lead him to the door. "Temari I'm leaving." Gaara called into the house before the door closed after them as they headed to Lee's house. 'Wait this will be my first time at Lee's place alone…' He realized that he hadn't had much time to notice anything the last time. That's when he noticed Lee was blushing as they walked holding hands for the first time without Gaara being disguised as Kaze. He chuckled to himself before gripping Lee's hand tighter getting his attention. "Don't worry." Gaara flashed a small smirk at the way Lee smiled brightly and his blush increased.
Meanwhile the people walking past them looked on in awe, amusement, disbelief, or the scariest of all looks, that of a rabid fangirl. A few of the passer bys were giggling and pointing, mostly the rabid fangirls, or the occasional little kid.
Lee was freaking out a little as they did this but when Gaara squeezed his hand and smirked at him, he suddenly felt that the people looking at them were of no importance, almost like they didn't exist, but of course Lee couldn't forget them completely but he was able to ignore them well enough. When they reached Lee's apartment building Lee frowned. It was run down and didn't look like it was very clean but when he looked at Gaara to see his reaction he didn't see any change in his attitude or that he was disgusted by the building and he let out a sigh of relief as he lead Gaara up to the top floor and to his apartment. As he unlocked the door he smiled shyly at Gaara. "It's not much but it's home."
Gaara just nodded and watched as Lee opened the door. He already knew Lee did not have money to live in a really nice place, though he was expecting a little better he had no means to improve the living conditions though he found himself swearing that if he could he would find a better place for Lee to stay.
When the door opened a rather clean apartment was revealed, even though the walls were discolored and the floor had many stains upon it the rest was very clean. The couch and chair, though old were in good condition as well as the coffee table set before it. Looking around there wasn't much else in the apartment other than some exercise equipment.
Lee smiled as he closed the door behind them a brilliant blush gracing his whole face. "I know it's really not much but please make yourself at home." He said as he went into the kitchen. "Would you like some tea?" He called into Gaara.
"No thank you." Gaara said walking up behind him wrapping his arms around his waist as Lee was tidying up a bit actually piling a few dishes into the sink and putting away a cereal box.
Lee turned red. "I should have tidied up before inviting you over."
Gaara chuckled it wasn't like Lee's apartment was messy actually it was cleaner than Gaara normally kept his room. But Lee thought that having any dirty dishes or a few workout towels out equaled a pig sty. Kissing his neck he turned his love to face him. "Don't you need to worry about packing and not tidying up?" Lee nodded and was released. "Then why don't we go get to that?" He suggested and allowed Lee to lead him from the kitchen and down a hall to what he assumed was his room.
Stopping before a door Lee looked back at Gaara shyly. "This is my room." He opened the door revealing a clean room with only a small bed inside with green blankets, it was small about a twin size mattress. Going to the closet that was across from the end of the bed. Pulling out a tan bag he placed it on the bed.
Gaara had taken a seat on the bed quietly watching as Lee piled clothes into the bag, okay so it was all those spandex outfits he usually wore but he wasn't gonna stop him. Because if you asked him if Lee wore normal clothes he would be bombarded with girls.
"So…" Lee tried to think of something to say as he finished packing a few minutes later and placed the bag on the floor by the bed sitting down beside Gaara to suddenly find himself pinned under him. "Gaara?" Lee questioned feeling the smaller boy nuzzling him.
"I'll miss you." Gaara said softly.
"And I'll miss you too." Lee kissed his forehead and held him close.
Getting up he kissed him lightly and ran a hand through his hair, touching his cheek softly. 'I think this is what love is…But I don't know…But the way my chest feels knowing that I won't see him for a week…' He thought as he leaned down touching their lips lightly and the look that Lee was giving him was making him more sure that he was in 'love' or pretty damn close with the way his chest was hurting.
Lee smiled sadly pulling Gaara close. "I love you." He whispered into his hair hoping that he was not heard.
"I think I love you too…" He frowned as tears started to form in Lee's eyes. "Are you mad?" He went to move away but was stopped.
"Silly I'm happy." Lee pulled Gaara closer and kissed him softly. "I'm very happy."
Gaara chuckled. 'For some reason I feel happy too…' He kissed Lee passionately climbing on top of him raising his shirt slowly caressing his abs as he did so. Kissing his way down Lee's chin nipping it a little before pulling off Lee's shirt and descending to his nipples licking them in slow circles, sucking softly on them as his hands roamed over the expanse of Lee's chest.
"Gaara" Lee whimpered and pulled his red haired lover into a kiss pushing his hips into the body above him causing his lover to moan. "Please Gaara." Lee begged.
Chuckling Gaara kissed his way down Lee's chest slowing pulling off Lee's shorts and boxers as he tried to resist the urge to tease him. As he removed his own clothes slowly descending onto Lee again kissing him as he pressed their erections together moving his body a little to grind them. "Lee" He whispered in his lover's ear as he lifted away from him spreading his legs.
Moaning a little Lee pushed his hips towards Gaara urging him to enter. Instead his lover grabbed a bottle from Lee's dresser, where he spotted a picture of him and Gaara he only vaguely remembered being taken. Putting some on his fingers he leaned up kissing Lee for all he was worth as he pushed a finger in slowly moving it around as he distracted his lover with kisses as he added another finger slowly scissoring them.
Moaning loudly Lee threw his head back as Gaara's fingers hit that spot inside. "Gaara!" He begged as he pushed into his fingers. "Please…Gaara"
Removing his fingers Gaara aligned himself with Lee's entrance slowly pushing in causing Lee's breath to hitch as he stiffened a little. "Relax." He whispered in Lee's ear as he sheathed himself completely.
Taking a deep breath the dark haired boy pushed his hips against his red haired lover. "Move." He demanded but it sounded a bit more like begging. As his lover began to move the darker haired boy moaned loudly arching his back as his prostrate was hit. "There.. Gaara!" He cried as it was hit again his hands flying to the red head's back clawing at it as he tried to get him closer.
Biting Lee's neck Gaara made sure to leave a mark in a completely visible spot before trailing down to his chest and attacking it with love bites. Grunting a little he thrust a little harder into this lover as he captured his nipple with his teeth gaining a few claw marks on his back. "Lee" He whispered against the heated flesh behind his lips. "I love you" He whispered against his ear before kissing his way from his ear to his jaw reaching his lips staying just barely above them.
"I love you Gaara" Lee whispered before kissing his lover and pressing their bodies closer together.
Thrusting harder the red head reached between them jerking the darker haired boy's shaft in rhythm with his thrusts as he kissed him for all he was worth as his free hand roamed around his chest toying with his nipples or tracing his scars causing him to shiver. "Lee" Gaara growled as he reached closer to climax and his rhythm became more erratic.
"Gaara" Lee almost screamed as he came with his head thrown back. A few thrusts later Gaara came inside him with a grunt of his name.
Pulling out Gaara pulled Lee to him nuzzling into his neck and kissing it lightly as they cuddled. "I'll miss you." He whispered even though he knew Lee was already fast asleep from his breathing.
It was later that night when Lee awoke, he was still cuddled up to Gaara who was watching him. "You know you could have moved." Lee smiled.
"I didn't want to wake you." Gaara smiled softly kissing Lee's forehead. 'A week can't be that bad as long as I know he's mine.' He glanced at the love mark he had left quite visible on Lee's neck and decided to leave a few more for good measure.
The next morning when Neji saw said love bites he almost fainted. But Tenten decided to clue him in on the fact he stood no chance what so ever with Lee now as Gaara and Lee made out before the gate even though everyone was gawking. Lee left with a smile on his face, and the week flew by quickly enough and he was soon home again and back in Gaara's arms.
The End…
