SCHOOL DAZE: Fall Festival pt 1

Narutowas chewing his thumbnail. If he kept going, he would bleed and need a band-aid, which Gaara wasn’t sure he had and the redhead would have to listen to his boyfriend whine for the rest of the day about his sore chewed thumb. Reaching out he pulled Naruto’s hand away from his mouth and linked their fingers. The assembly had been called by the school council to announce this year’s festival and dance theme. They would also be naming class captains to help coordinate the various clubs and teams for their year. “Stop being nervous. It’s just an assembly. Think of it as a way to skip math.”

Chuckling Naruto nodded and squeezed Gaara’s hand. He had lied to his best friend. Lied like a cheap rug and he felt guilty. Naruto had claimed he had an early practice and headed to school two hours earlier then the red headed teen. Instead of school, he’d gone to the Hyuuga estate to speak to Neji. The blond had been lucky it was one of the few mornings Sasuke wasn’t there.

“Do you love him?” Naruto hadn’t even waited for the door to the older boy’s room to close before he’d asked his question.

Neji eyed the object of his friend’s affection critically before answering. “Yes. Very much.”

“You know if you hurt him I won’t stop until you walk with a limp the rest of your life.” Naruto’s heart was racing. He was an idiot. How could he even contemplate giving Gaara up? Gaara kept him safe. Gaara loved him unconditionally. Gaara meant everything to him. “I love him too. He’s my best friend. He’s my lover. We’ve been inseparable for so long I almost don’t remember life before him.”

Neji frowned, his left eye ticking a little. “I won’t let you keep fucking. You do…”

“Don’t be stupid. I don’t have any desire to play second fiddle to you, Asshole. Besides, Gaara isn’t that sort of person. I’m genuinely surprised he was able to be with both of us at the same time.” Smiling a little Naruto admitted. “When I think about it, I know almost exactly when you two started fucking. He stopping having sex with me for over a month before I finally confronted him. I thought he was mad at me for dating that cheerleader harpy Karin, the crazy one who got kicked out of school for stalking Sasuke.”

“Why are you here Uzumaki?” Neji was growing impatient and Naruto was veering off point.

Blinking blue eyes widened and he took a deep breath. “If you love him you gotta show it. In a big way. I mean in a humbling, humiliating, groveling sort of way. I might lose the best thing that ever happened in my life because if you really love him, I know he loves you and he deserves to be happy. To find that ‘so crazy you can’t even think’ kind of love and we might have had it before I screwed up and let him find out other people existed.”

“I love him. I don’t know when I fell for him or how I let him get away from me, but I can’t stop thinking about him.” Eyeing Naruto shrewdly, Neji added “or how much I want to beat the crap out of you for having him.”

Grinning, the underclassman nodded. “Good. I’m going to break things off with him Friday after school. Give him the weekend because he’s not going to take it well. You need to be sure about him Hyuuga. Gaara and I didn’t start sleeping around ‘cause it was high school and that’s what boys do. He’d only been with me and he loved me so much no one else existed romantically. But I didn’t want him to be with me because that’s all he knew. I know now how stupid that makes me. I should have trusted his love.

He will devote himself to you Neji.” Naruto was whispering now. “If you don’t know if you can handle that kind of relationship, if this is some passing whim, don’t do this. He’s damaged. He spent years believing he wasn’t worthy of being loved because of his own father and you could hurt him more than you could possibly know.”

Neji felt fury rise up in him. He knew from some of the things Temari had let slip that her father’s relationship with his youngest son didn’t just border on abusive and neglectful. It was more than enough to get the youngest Sabaku child taken into state protective custody. “I’ll protect him Naruto. I won’t let anyone else hurt him.”

“Good. Then we have an understanding. If he doesn’t end up hating me forever, you should know I won’t voluntarily go anywhere.” He grinned when the older boy snorted in response. “I’ve got to get to school. I told Gaara there was an early practice so I could come here alone. Remember, humbling. If you try to pull that dirty little secret shit, I will come between you however I have to.”

“I’m sure I can figure something out.” Naruto grunted and shouldered his bag. “See you around Hyuuga.” Naruto made a swift exit, grabbing the bus to ensure he was at the school before his boyfriend.

It was Friday. The day was ending soon and Naruto felt the fear and guilt about what he intended to do clutching at his heart, making him nauseous. He was betraying Gaara. He was going to hurt the person who’d saved his life. It didn’t matter that it was for a good reason. That he was doing what he was doing to make the redhead happier in the long run. What mattered was that he was going to hurt his best friend and possibly lose the other boy forever. Suddenly Naruto wasn’t sure he could do this.

“If you don’t stop panicking and tell me what’s wrong, I’m going to pinch you.” Gaara finally whispered to Naruto. “Something is bothering you.”

Eyes wide Naruto whispered. “I want to break up.” He couldn’t believe he’d said it. A tan hand smacked over his own mouth in shock. He looked over at Gaara, fear clearly written on his face. Green eyes blinked up at the blond teen and his mouth tipped down at the corners.

He nodded before looking back to the stage. “Alright.” Squeezing Naruto’s hand he sighed. “We’ll stop having sex Naruto but we’re not breaking up as best friends. I can’t…” This time the green eyes looked up in panic. “You don’t want to stop being friends too?”

“No! NO! God no! Never ever. I don’t ever want to stop being friends. You’re my best friend. If we didn’t… you know… fuck, you’d be my brother!!” Naruto exclaimed drawing attention from people around them. He sank into the chair when Iruka gave him a warning glare. Teacher’s could be so scary sometimes.

“Good. We’re having that garlic clove roast chicken you like for dinner and I’d hate you to miss it.” When Naruto’s stomach growled, Gaara laughed. The tension leaking out of both the boys as they admitted things just weren’t how it had been and if they’d pushed on too much longer, they would have lost their friendship too. “I still want you to stay away from Uchiha.”

“Yeah, I know… thing is, that’s not easy for me. Especially not when he wants me too.” Naruto whispered, licking his lips and letting his eyes dart up to look at where the Uchiha sat on the stage while Tenten made her speech, regarding the theme for this year’s festival. Just looking at the raven made Naruto throb inside with need. “I’m thinking of taking a collar. Maybe having someone else like that full time would help.”

Gaara hummed, nodding. “It might work, but who? I want to meet him and I want veto rights.” The redhead had no desire to deal with Naruto’s bitchy, bossy top who might try to come between them. This was serious for Gaara. Naruto was more important to him than anyone else.

“Well, I’ve seen this one guy in the club a couple of times. I know I’m not supposed to go back to any one Dom but he was really good. We’ve had coffee and he bought me ramen once but I haven’t seen him since you and I got back together.” Wincing when Gaara growled, Naruto quickly added. “It was just as friends, I swear. We’ve never been anything more but I think he might want more from me. He’s in college so I don’t have to worry about school being an issue.”

“You think Sasuke will respect another person’s collar?” The Sabaku asked with a raised brow.

Nodding Naruto sighed. “There’s a… code, a respect between Doms. Only low life scum would do anything to a collared sub without permission.”

“You know I still think this whole... lifestyle thing is crazy right? I just don’t get it.” Frowning Naruto thought about Gaara’s words but sighed.

“I know but its part of who I am. Who I’ve been as long as I can remember. Sasuke didn’t make me this way. He just brought it out.” Making a face, Gaara glanced at Naruto again.

“Do you want him back Naruto?” It was a serious question because Gaara didn’t know if he could accept Sasuke Uchiha back into Naruto’s life knowing what he knew about what the youngest Uchiha had done to his best friend.

“Yes.” The word came out in a croak because it was hard for Naruto to admit. He wanted Sasuke as badly now as he had as a boy. “A part of me will always belong to him Gaara. I don’t know what to do about it. What about Hyuuga? Do you love him?”

“This is not a conversation I want to have here,” Gaara snapped, suddenly tense realizing they were in the middle of a crowd of their entire peer group where anyone could be listening. “We’ll talk when we get home tonight ok?” Naruto nodded and sighed when a round of applause went up dismissing them. Neither he nor Gaara had paid any attention to the announcements.

Locating Gaara in the sea of students observing the Fall Festival proceedings was not difficult. He was fairly sure he could spot the shock of red hair in any crowd. Neji’s keen eyes watched the entire discussion, sure from the blond boy’s obvious reactions what was happening. He was also very sure that Naruto had been very wrong about how Gaara would react. Despite his passions which ran incredibly deep, Gaara was sensible and loved with all of him. Losing Naruto over something that was obviously not what it had once been would not be an option. This however was now his chance to make this right, to get Gaara back.

Glancing at Sasuke, the Hyuuga boy tried to decide if he should tell his comrade of the new development or not. The raven’s obvious obsession with Naruto made him slightly uneasy. He’d learned more about Sasuke than he’d ever expected to but he was not sure if getting them back together was actually what was best for the two boys. They seemed like moths to a flame and they would very likely burn one another to death.

Neji licked his lips and nodded to Sasuke once they were off the stage. Moving away from prying ears, the long haired teen made his decision. “Naruto and Gaara have broken up. I intend to make my move today.”

Blinking in shock, Sasuke flicked his gaze around as if expecting Naruto to be waiting for him. “How can you be sure?”

“He came to my house and told me he planned to do it. At first I didn’t believe him but I’ve gotten fairly good at watching Gaara. And Naruto is fairly easy to read.” Neji smirked when his friend just snorted his response. “I think… it might be best if you didn’t pursue Naruto. Your kinks might match up to one another but your relationship seems far from healthy.”

“We have done considerable damage to one another. But Neji, these years have taught me there is no one else for me, only Naruto. And during these last months, I’ve learned Naruto still has feelings for me. I cannot ignore that.” Sasuke looked at his friend. “I was scared and foolish to listen to my brother. My parents love me, they’ll accept who and whatever I am. I know that now. Don’t try to stand in my way Hyuuga. If you, or your boyfriend, try to keep Naruto and I apart, I will destroy you.” It was no idle threat. Making an enemy of any Uchiha was practically social and political suicide.

Neji was taken aback not only by the threat but the honesty he saw in Sasuke’s eyes when he’d admitted his mistakes and his feelings for Naruto. “I’ll do what I can to help you but I think your biggest wall is going to be Naruto himself.”

“I think my biggest wall will be something far more infuriating, Neji.” Sighing Sasuke led his friend out of the auditorium. “I’ve noticed Naruto doesn’t seem to be alone long. If he’s admitted things with Gaara are over then he will be searching for something else and I’m sure that something else will be as close to me as he can come without breaking and coming to me.” Sighing, the Uchiha looked his friend in the eyes. “Which means, I’ll have to go to him. Again. I need your help getting him alone, preferably in his own home.”
