Previously-

he doesn't care that I still like him enough to jack off to or that he doesn't care that I jacked off to him, or is it both? I'm so fuckin confused.

Now-

"What do you mean, 'it doesn't affect you?'" I was startin to get angry. "So what now my feelings don't matter?!"

"What? No-"

"Fucking Christ your actin like some Of the villagers did when the found out I was gay." I yelled get more and more riled up. "Oh it's just phase, he'll grow out of it. It's nothin, it's not important!" I wonder where this was comin from. I mean, it's not like Gaara ever said anything about my feelings no mattering or about how being, well a homosexual was just phase. "Well I'd like you to know that it just so happens I am a homosexual, so when I jack off to someone it's cuz I like them so there! How does that affect you now!?" Um. I have no idea what I just said. I don't think it was anything good though.

"I never said your feelings don't matter," he started. Trying to gather his words. "I said it doesn't affect me. Those are two different things." I stared at him.

"Two different things? How in the hell are they two different things?"

"Your actions, do not affect me. You don't not have to restrict your actions by anything. If you wish to do something then by all means please do so. It will have no affect on my opinion of you." He stated. "As for the homosexual bit... I never said you were not." He blinked and looked down.

"Anything?" I asked him.

"Within reason if course, but yes." He replied, before lookin up at me. "Why?" God he look so wonderful under the moonlight looking out from under his long mess red hair...

"Gaara," I said. "Close your eyes and turn around." I licked my lips. He did say anything. Oh but I mean I should not be doin this. It makes no sense. I mean, he just said that to make me feel better about ya know, embarrassing myself in front of him. It's a really awkward thing to be caught jackin off. I waded over to the edge of the brook as Gaara stood, obeying my instructions. I shouldn't do this. Ya know what? I say, Fuck what I shouldn't do!

---Gaara---

I wonder what is going to happen next. I did as Naruto asked. Turning around I closed my eyes. I can hear the rippling of water as he approached. Squelching sounds of mud soaked from his wet form as he got out the water filled the silence.

"Ya really mean anything, right?" I nodded.

"Yes."

"Anything at all?" I was tempted to remind him of the, within reason statement I had added, but decided against it.

"Yes." The word was spoken so softly I wasn't even sure if he could hear me. His scent wrapped around me as he got closer. Step by step, until he was right behind me. I wonder what is going to happen next? I closed my eyes and braced for anything, and everything. I am sure, now that I said that, that he won't hold back anymore. If he wants to hurt me, there is nothing stopping him. Not even myself. I think, that this is going to hurt. I have not felt pain, or rather, I have not felt physical pain since my human years. It doesn't matter though. I can endure it. I will endure it. I nearly jumped when Naruto wrapped his arms around me. This feeling, it was not what I had expected or tried to brace for.

"You said anything." He muttered, his words muffled by my back, as he clung to me. "Don't go back on your word now." I shook my head slowly.

"Not to you."

"Hmm? So you go back on your word to others?" He murmured into my ear. A shiver ran down my spine.

"I have never given my word to another."

"Centuries on this world and you haven't promised anything to anyone else?" I let my eyes open, and I tried to look at him through the corner of my eye. I failed. Though I did glimpse golden hair.

"Most of the time was spent in isolation. You were the first human I had spoken to since my human life ended."

"Gaara."

"Yes?"

"We need to work on your social skills. And I know just where to start~" his arms moved as he pressed again my back.

"Where?" I asked him breathily as one of his arms was moving to duck under my arm and grab my other shoulder. The other move down reached for my thigh pulling it up an out, throwing me off balance and I fell back into him. He didn't fall though, didn't even budge.

"Physical Education~" he purred into my ear.
