There are a few different things that inspired this idea…mostly boredom and time. I've been thinking…years down the road, when life is begun anew…what would Lee remember? What would Gaara remember? Let's think of it this way: The life of shinobi are tales told by the old woman at the fireplace, and their present is…well, our present; but there are still those who retain what they had once been.

It always begins the same way… a gentle caress that runs from my ankle to my knee; hot breath that blows across my abdomen. And I always say the same thing…

"More…please, Gaara!…More." And while I am pleading, my head twisting from side to side as I experience the familiar spiral down into insanity, my vision is filled by the color of red: his hair, wild, bloody, and thick. Always, I would hear this:

"Do you love me?"

I could feel the pain that stabbed into my heart every time that question was asked of me; he should not have to question my love for him, we have been together for years. Yet, some wounds do not seem to ever heal completely, so I comfort him as I know his family should have when he had been young. They had been too late, but I would not be…

"Always, forever…and even pass death!" I throw my head back, feeling every breath of air I stole into my lungs burn my throat. I turned my face into my arm, both of them bound above my head by my lover's sand. "I swear it…or I shall rip my own heart out of chest…" Here is where I sob, tilting my hips towards him, silently begging for him to touch me in the place he had been pointedly ignoring. "Because you are my heart…and I can not live if I knew I lived without you!"

Those hands, pale and grainy, trace down the scars of my sides, one of them coming to a stop at my weeping erection, shamelessly pointing towards me, the other moving to my lips with the silent command for me to suck. One long digit whispers across the heated skin of my member, and this is when I begin to plead in abandon, moaning around the fingers that I was lubricating. I rotated my hips wantonly against his own. And before one of those pale hands fully wrap around my erection, I meet his eyes…his beautiful, sorrowful, sea-blue eyes… He takes his fingers from me, and I feel them begin to probe at the crease between my cheeks as he replaces them with his lips. I taste him, his scent flooring me and his tongue thrusting in time with his hands. When I feel the need to scream, he releases me altogether, leaning back and looking down at me. I always wonder…what did I look like in that moment?

"My Lee…"

Just as always, I would smile, my mouth opening to say words that would reassure him of such. "No one -"

'And it is 5:30 in the morning, it looks like we could have a little sun today, but I doubt it; don't you, Aki?'

'Sure do, Honoa. We have temperature in the forties today with a wind chill of -'

I press down on the 'snooze' button on my radio alarm, my eyes wide open and unblinking as I thought again of my reoccurring dream… Was that not the weirdest way in which to dream? No matter how often I try to figure it out…I cannot think of a reason why my gym partner continues to show in my dreams. Especially in such…erotic ways…

Groaning, I turn my head into my pillow, holding it to my chest as I curl my knees into it. It is worse, that I have been dreaming of him before he even transferred to my school from the Suna district…

Why does my heart ache every time I am done dreaming? Where have my childish fantasies gone from? The ones where I would be riding a turtle's back across the sea, or be friends to a large red fox and a golden colored raccoon…albeit that last one was strange…

Sighing, I throw my pillow back onto my bed as I stand, rubbing furiously at my eyes to try and clear them of the dream. I almost wish I do not have school today… I do not think Coach Gai is going to be very happy with me…

Would you like to know something sad? This was supposed to be a one-shot. Maybe this means I got over my writers-block! Maybe it means I am giving all of you false hope…I am hooting for the first choice. Tell me how it made you feel and if it is worth continuing, if this magical streak of geniusness continues, another chapter should be up within a few days; possibly a few hours, but do not hope too much for that.
