Silver Wings of A Fallen Angel .:A Sasuke Love Story:. Gaara. [50]

"Hey, mind taking care of Suzu tonight?" I asked Sasuke on our way back home.
"Why?"
"I'm sleeping over with my team."
"At your apartment?"
"Yeahh."
"For how long?"
"I said just one nightt! So it won't be thaat long."
"When you leaving?"
"As soon as I gather my stuff when we get home. Then I'll take off." He's stays quiet for a moment. To think I suppose. "So whadda ya say? Its just one niiiight." I whine childishly.
He hesitates before answering, "Fine."
"Ohh well if you're totally against one night, I guess I can bring her..." I say, trying to make him feel bad.
"Fine fine. But just one night." he sighs.
"Yay! Thanx Sasuke-kuuun!" I give him a quick hug before skipping ahead.
"You're welcome.. " he mutters. I look over my shoulder to see him blushing as he looked away from me. I couldn't help but giggle.

"So..exactly, how did you say you know Gaara again?" Sasuke asked nonchalantly at the door of my bedroom.
"Uhm.. I didn't." I chuckled packing my stuff. "But anyway, I knew him for a year."
"Since when?" he asks casually.
"Last year. Your brother sent me to the Hidden Village of the Sand."
"What was the assignment?" he suddenly sounds all serious.
"Just monitoring and studying Gaara." I continue to talk casually.
"What did you guys mean about goodbye?" he was still serious.
Suddenly, so was I. "I... Let's just say our relationship didn't end well."
"What happened?"
"Well.. Itachi called me back. He said I didn't need to monitor anymore. He said I had another mission to get to. And..." I trailed off in thought, looking back at the memory.
"And..." he urged me to continue.
"And..w-well.. it was, I guess, just hard for me to leave someone I was getting used to. He was the only other friend I had at the time. Afterall, when Itachi took me away, I was isolated from everyone else most of the time. So really, my only friend was your brother."
He was silent. I look over my shoulder at him, to find him nodding silently. "So...you and Gaara were in a relationship? That means you guys were dating?" he asks me cooly with a hint of red on his face. I sweatdrop as he continued with his question, "What was it that made you want to date him?"
"No wait! That's not what I meant. We were just friends." I say quickly. Oh mann he thinks we were dating now!
"So you guys aren't friends anymore?"
I became serious again, "I-I.. I don't know. I want to tell myself that we are, but it seems like to him, we're not..."
"What makes you so regretful about it?" he sounded disgusted.
I smile at his reactions. I speak softly, "We were friends Sasuke! Itachi sent me there for a year.. we became really close.."
"So... how close were you guys?" he asked casually again.
"I've always been somewhat really close to him. You know that!" I blush lightly thinking about Itachi.
"I meant Gaara, baka." he sighs with a blush when I look over my shoulder at him.
"Ohhh. Sorry about that, heh" I scratch the back of my head before continuing to pack. "Well... let's just say.. we were like best friends."
"So.. that's it?"
I turned to him smirking, "Why do you ask?"
"Why are you smirking at me like that?" He quickly looks away from me with a tinted face.
"Why are you blushing?" I smirk even more. "Why are you so curious about me and Gaara's relationship?"
I taunted him until he couldn't take it anymore. His face was red, "Don't be crazy, I just want to find out more about him and his skill." He says quickly walking downstairs.
Luckily, I was done packing. So I was able to quickly zip up my bag and follow Sasuke.
"Awhh come onn Sasuke-kuun." I continued to taunt.
"Quit talking non-sense! Don't you have your sleepover? You should go, you're done packing aren't you?" He spoke quickly as he walked into the kitchen.
I laugh a little, "Fine fine! I'll go." I step to the doorstep, slipping my sandals on and opening the front door, "But don't worry too much about it Sasuke-kun, you'll always be my bes fraan fo-evaaaa!"
He walks out of the kitchen towards me, chuckling as he started to close the front door on me, "Get outta here."
I chuckle with him, "Byee!" I manage to say before we both close the front door. I walked to my apartment with a big smile on my face.
