~*~*~*~*Chapter 5~*~*~*~*

Naruto frowned as he walked into the red heads place, it really was huge, much bigger than Kakashi’s, Naruto shuddered at the sudden feeling of being lonely, he looked at the red head as Gaara made his way to the kitchen, Naruto followed slowly looking at Everything, or rather, looking for something Gaara stopped walking and frowned at the blonde confused

“What are you looking for?” Naruto blinked then chuckled

“a cat.. or dog?.... Or… I dunno… You said it was just you and Shukaku, who is Shukaku?” Naruto watched Gaara tense before walking away

“It… It was a joke… Shukaku is an old bed time story I was told… A racoon demon that takes the form of a human, just to kill other humans” Naruto frowned as he followed the red head, Naruto felt a cold shudder run down his spine, Gaara was such a sad person, so full of loneliness and darkness, Naruto just wanted to hug him, make all his pain go away, but Naruto controlled himself, he just met the boy, he didn’t need to start molesting him, Naruto sat down at the bar that was neatly placed in the middle of the kitchen, while Gaara opened the fridge

“What would you like to eat?” Naruto peeked over and blinked smiling softly when he noticed Gaara staring at the chocolate cakes, Naruto smiled

“anything sounds good to me” Gaara nodded grabbing the tray and a couple of soda’s he placed the tray in front of Naruto before handing him the glass bottle, Naruto smiled opening the bottle with his teeth, while Gaara grabbed some forks, the two sat beside each other eating the cakes in silence, Naruto really enjoyed the silence, it was nice, gave him time to think

“I… I know we just met… but… If you ever wanna talk about p-problems… you can tell me” Naruto startled looking at Gaara, he relaxed a bit his eyes casted down, it wouldn’t hurt to talk about it, but then again he’d only just met Gaara

“Thanks… right now its nothing too serious, but if it becomes serious I’ll come to you” Gaara blushed before lowering his head nodding slowly, Naruto chuckled softly, the boy was REALLY cute

“Hey Gaara, how old are you?” Naruto smiled watching the boy shift nervously, he had to have been no more than thirteen maybe twelve?

“I… Got held back a few years… I am seventeen” Naruto tensed looking at Gaara, he blinked then shook his head

“I-I’m sorry... Thought you said seventeen?”

“I am Seventeen…. You are a child compared to me”

Naruto frowned feeling his phone vibrate in his back pocket, he got up from his seat on the couch and pulled out his phone, reading the missed caller ID, he frowned more, then sighed looking at Gaara

“I’m gonna go make a call” Naruto said before stepping out of the room, both boys had been watching the lord of the rings trilogy, but Naruto figured after ignoring ten calls from his mom, he should at least let him know he was ok, safe sound, and wanted to know one thing, Naruto walked out of the front door and opened his phone, calling his house

“Hello!? Naruto!? Is that you?! Are you ok?! Are you hurt!? Where are you!? I’ll come get you” Naruto closed his eyes, he never meant to make his mom worry that much, but he was so upset

“Mom, Is Kakashi was real father?” Silence, that’s all Naruto needed, that was an answer for him, the silence was an obvious yes, Naruto listened to Iruka’s un-steady breathing, he was getting uncomfortable, Naruto could tell his mother emotions just by how the other presented himself

“I…. Naruto… can we talk about this… when your home?” Naruto growled, he’d be damned if he would go home! He’d been lied to! For his whole fucking life!

“No, Tell me now YES or NO, what the fuck is wrong with you!?” Naruto shook, he’d never yelled at his mother before, he could never imagine he was the one putting tears into Iruka’s eyes, but right now he didn’t give a shit, right now his life was fucked up

“I…. No… He’s not…. I… I’m sorry… Naruto…” Naruto heard the hurt in Iruka’s voice, he heard the man’s heart breaking

“I don’t know WHEN I will be home, or IF I will EVER go home” Naruto pressed the button cutting off the call before shutting his phone down

“Where to go… can’t use my credit card at a hotel… they’ll track it…” Naruto mumbled to himself his eyes closing

“Stay here?” Naruto startled looking back at Gaara; the red head was peeking out the door staring at him shyly

“Sorry… I heard yelling… got worried… Y-you can stay here… if you need to…” Naruto smiled walking over to the red head patting his head softly

“Thanks Gaara… I owe you one” he said softly his eyes drooping, he wanted to cry, his whole perfect life was fucked up, twisted and turned, everything was just a mess, Naruto walked inside rubbing his eyes, he wanted to sleep, he needed to just shut himself down, god he hated Mondays

Iruka stared at the phone in front of him, Naruto knew, Naruto had figured it out, he was so upset, he was so angry, Iruka didn’t know what to tell the boy, he couldn’t just tell him over the phone he was the child of rape, and how his father tried to kill them both!, that was something meant to be talked out, in person, so Naruto would understand he was WANTED, not hated! Not unloved, and not a burden. Iruka sat on the couch tears filling his eyes, he dropped the phone onto the floor letting out a pained sob, he should call Kakashi, tell him Naruto was fine, tell him everything, but Iruka could feel his heart breaking, he could feel his heart shatter into a million pieces, Iruka didn’t want to move, he couldn’t move, he hated himself for lying to his son for so many years, for not explaining things out to him. Iruka sobbed into the cushion of the couch not hearing the front door open, he felt the hand of his lover along his back, Iruka looked at Kakashi, causing the silver haired man to wince, it hurt to see Iruka in so much pain

“Naruto knows…”
