"Speaking"... 'Thoughts'...

The blue eyed child ran across the field behind the orphanage with a grin swiped across his innocent face. He saw the old willow tree near the lake swaying with the wind as usual. He glanced behind him and let out a little giggle before racing to the tree without haste. He quickly climbed up the old limbs and placed himself snugly between two broad branches. The blond hair swayed evenly with the leaves, while the blue eyed child watched intensely over the field. Then another child appeared on the green field searching for something. The blond chuckled silently while watching the red head looked about confused. His eyes ran across the field and ended on the old willow tree near the lake. He stood there thinking if he should go there but decided he should anyway. He sprinted causing the blond to flinch. He didn't think that the red head would come out here by him. The small boy finally reached the tree and looked about, the blond shifted slightly and gasped as his foot slipped from the branch. The red head heard the gasp and quickly looked up from where he heard it come from. He laughed as he shouted.

"Hahaha! Naru-chan! I finally found you!" The red head laughed as he covered his mouth. The dark ring around his eyes intensely showed how little sleep he got and the pale skin let everyone think he always stayed inside. His skin gleamed in the summer sun. He looked so happy standing there laughing waiting for the blond to get down.

"Hai Hai! You caught me Gaara-chan! I'm going to come down right no-" The blond lost his footing on the branch and fell down to the grass below. A loud thud emphasized the fall where the blond moaned. He opened his eyes to realize what happened.

"Ahh! Gaara-chan! I'm so sorry!" Naruto apologized immediately. Gaara shifted under Naruto's weight and let out a soft groan.

"Naru-chaaaan... argh. It hurts. You're crushing me!" Gaara complained while trying to push the blond off him. His pushing against Naruto's shoulders caused Naruto to slip and land on top of his lap. Naruto Gasped as his face was inches away from Gaara's. They stared at each other silently for a minute when the blonds' face was beginning to turn crimson red. Gaara wore a light blush on his pale face which radiated a tint of pink making him shift under Naruto. Gaara snapped out of his stupor first and began to speak firmly.

"Ahem... Naru-chan. Do you mind... um... getting off me.? I -uh... think we should be getting back before Iruka says something to us." While sitting up on his elbows underneath Naruto.

"Ah... y-yea sure Gaara-chan I see what you mean." Naruto said quietly. He began to wonder why he felt so nervous when their faces where so close to each other. He stood up extending his hand to the red head on the grass below. He smiled and grabbed the blonds hand firmly and was lifted from the ground swiftly. Naruto held out his hand again and smiled at the red head innocently. The red head placed a small smirk upon his face and took the blonds' hand. They ran across the field hand in hand while laughing and giggling with one another, while the orphanage became bigger as they approached. They finally reached the front of the building when they noticed a fuming Iruka waiting for them. They glanced at each other giggling when they realized they were caught. Iruka shouted at them for being gone for so long and were told to stay in their room for the rest of the night. Iruka sighed and proceeded inside with the little ones, worrying about their safety. He sighed and was glomped by the rest of the small children in the orphanage. He chuckled to himself and told them they needed to get ready for bedtime. The brunette spiky hair boy sighed and unattached his arms from the older mans leg. He mumbled "troublesome".

Naruto and Gaara changed into their night clothes with their over sized shirt reaching past their knees. They both layed in Naruto's bed while staring up at the ceiling. They knew the orphanage was old and could see the cracks on the walls reaching in every direction. Iruka loved taking care of the orphaned kids and spent most of his days just caring for them. Only getting money from the town once a month just so that they could afford the basics. Gaara sat up and stared at the blond silently. Naruto glanced at Gaara and smiled sweetly. Gaara smiled back and began to speak.

"Naru-chan.... Hey would you mind getting up?" Gaara asked softly. Naruto nodded and sat up abruptly. He faced Gaara and began grinning again. His cheeks casting a glow of pink across his cute face. Gaara's expression softened and placed his hand on Naruto's blushing cheek. The blond leaned into the hand and rubbed against it softly, taking in the slight sweet scent of Gaara. The red head stared into the blue pools of ocean and leaned forward a bit. His lips parted slightly as if he were going to say something.

"Naru-chan? Uhm... can I do something... Like k-kiss you?" Gaara asked shyly. His face totally flushed due to his embarrassment. Naruto contemplated for a few seconds bringing his fingers to hips lips, laughing softly. He placed his hand ontop of Gaara's and nodded slightly. The red head seemed shocked to see that the blond agreed but felt relieved that he said okay. He leaned in and grabbed both of his cheeks, placing both of their lips together. Naruto and Gaara sat there, leaving their lips pressed firmly together. Gaara finally opened his eyes and pulled back first. The blonds' eyes finally opened seeing Gaara hold his lips blushing profusely. Naruto giggled and removed Gaara's hand and placed another kiss on his cheek. The red head smirked and grabbed the blond by the shoulders leaning in for another kiss on the lips. Naruto's hands found his hands grasping onto Gaara by the waist holding him tightly, never wanting to let go. A smile slowly crept upon the read head and hugged the blond tightly. They sat there for a few moments just resting in each other arms when footsteps began approaching the door. They giggled, while letting go of each other and laying down in Naruto's warm bed. The door burst open and the other kids ran to their beds giggling and laughing.

Iruka glanced at them and told Gaara to go to his own bed. Gaara grunted and began walking to the opposite side of Naruto's, lifting his sheets and settling underneath them. Iruka read a story to the 10 other orphans resting in bed, gleaming with excitement every time Iruka read to them. Gaara and Naruto sent glances at each other whenever they smiled, which was often. Iruka finally finished the story and turned off the lights. Wishing that all his little ones would have happy dreams. They wished Iruka their usual "I love you's and good-nights", and silently feel into a deep sleep with few of them sucking their thumbs. Iruka finally turned off the lights and peeked one last time at his cute little ones and walked down stairs where he would clean up the mess they left behind.

Gaara sat up and glanced over to Naruto who had his sheets pulled over his head. He silently got up and crawled into the blonds' bed, where he wrapped his arms around him. Naruto moaned quietly and placed his hands over Gaara's. He felt the red head behind him place a small peck on the back of his neck and nuzzled at the pillow. The blond turned on his side and placed a kiss on Gaara's forehead, and whispered.

"Goodnight Gaara-chan... See you in the morning." he said sweetly tightening his grip on the red head. Gaara shifted a little and replied with an "hn" and fell asleep quietly on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto smiled and finally let sleep come over him, thinking of the new day ahead.

The sun began to rise and a loud 'thud' from a car door could be heard from outside waking the kids from inside the building. Naruto sat up first and Gaara after him. They opened the blinds next to Naruto's bed and saw a really expensive car sitting on the lawn. The car was a newer model of the jet black mustang with all the windows tinted. It gave off a feeling that someone who was either into stylish cars or a young teen would own it. They could hear voices coming from down stairs and hear Iruka calling Naruto down.

Naruto looked at Gaara worried, but he pushed the blond lightly on his back wanting him to go down stairs with Iruka. He smiled weakly and trudged towards the door, his hair messy as ever due to just getting up. He turned one last time before seeing Gaara mouth the words 'go on ok?' and opened the door. He walked down the stairs and peeked around the corner of the kitchen seeing Iruka in a deep conversation with an older looking teen. Around the age of 16-18. He had raven black hair that reached his back with coal black eyes as well. He had a stern face to match his scary surface.

His dark eyes met with the ocean blue pools and looked back at his father figure Iruka. He grabbed Naruto into his warm arms and smiled telling the other man about the cute blond.

"Yea Naruto is a cute one who is always happy and loving like you've heard. He doesn't have any paper work since I found him when he was three but since he's 9 now he understands things better." Iruka smiled at the non-caring man in front of them. 'Hn' was the only response they got from him every few moments.

"Well... I'm going to ask you again Mr. Uchiha...Are you positive that he is the one you said you wanted?" Iruka said as he forced a smile. Looking at Naurtowith it beginingto fade. He loved the boy like he was his own and didn't want to part from him even if he had an opportunity to live with a normal household. He loved him far too much and seeing this man wanting to take him away made his heart ache in pain. He rummaged through Naruto's hair and looked up at the man before him once again.

"Well, if you don't mind me taking him off your hands, I will take him now." said the cold Uchiha not taking his gaze off the trembling blond. Narutowinced begining to realize the meaning of this mans presence before him. He wanted to take him away from his home and best friend. Not even knowing when he'd be able to see Gaara... again, placing his hand on his quivering lips. Iruka brought Naruto from his deep thoughts when he began speaking.

"Well, Mr. Uchiha... I will send you the rest of the adoption paper work once Naruto has settled in, and send them to the office." Iruka gave Naurto a big hug before walking upstairs to inform the other kids in the orphanage. The raven haired man watched as the brunette trudged up the stairs and began to speak.

"You don't have to bother with his things, since he will get new belongings once he his brought home." he said with a cold tone. Iruka stopped at the top of the stairs and nodded. Bringing a pained smile to his face, he shook his head before speaking again.

"Oh, no. I was going to do that, but I really wanted to tell the other little ones before Naurto left. All of the little ones love Naruto dearly and would be upset if they didn't get a chance to say goodbye." Iruka spat as he continued walking to the children's room. The raven glared at the man walking away and his eyes moved over to the blond who was also watching him grab for the door.

He grabbed the blond forcibly by the arm and began walking to the door before shooting a glare toward the loving man. Naruto began shouting and fidgeting under the firm grasp on his arm.

"Ahh! Iruka! H-hey what's he doing!" Shouted the blond desperately. "Let go! I don't want to go with you!" He struggled. The raven haired man pulled his arm forcibly before opening the front door. Iruka began shouting Naruto's name as he stumbled quickly down the stairs.

Gaara heard the commotion downstairs and began to tug at his shirt, biting his lip painfully. He heard Iruka shout Naruto's name and that all it took for him to race towards the door flinging it open, racing to the living room where the front door layed open. Iruka was already outside shouting at the raven haired man protesting for him to let Naruto stay just a little longer. Gaara's eyes fell upon the blond struggling in the man grasp, with a frown appearing slowly. Gaara began shouting Naruto's name wildly but only got the tears of the blond when his eyes met with his.

"Naruto! Naruto! What's happening?!" cried the red head fearing the worst. Clenching a fist full of his shirt in the process. Naruto scream Gaara's name in return but was forced into the passenger's seat of the mustang.

Gaara raced to the door with his hands extended in a hugging embrace. He reached the door and began pounding on it while the blond tried opening the door. The man pulled the blond away and began shouting at him to clam down. Tears streamed down both the boys' faces at the car stared and began revving its motor. Iruka grabbed the red head and held him tightly. Gaara proceeded to kick and punch Iruka shouting for him to let go, but he held him in place, bringing his face next Gaara's. His eyes too wear red from crying and rubbed the boys head softly, cooing him to shush. Naruto cried pounding on the window screaming Gaara's name. The car pulled away in a rapid swish and headed into town with the blond locked inside.

Gaara finally wiggled out of the ravens grasp and sprinted towards the way the car sped off to. He rendered himself to a jog and stopped completely, standing there looking at the road with nothing but the town looking at him from the distance. He feel to his knees sobbing profusely. He shouted at the top of his lungs the name of his best friend who was just taken from him, not knowing when he'd be able to see him again...

"Naruto!" he sobbed into his hands, while hearing Iruka slowly making his way behind the red head. He grabbed his shoulders and rubbed them softly. The sounds of crying and whimpering were the only things Gaara could process in his mind.

His best friend was now gone and he turned his head looking at Iruka with a hurt expression.

"I know Gaara... He's gone." said the brunette softly. Picking up Gaara in his arms walking back home, closing his eyes and sighing deeply...
