A/N: Hello, welcome back. It's four years later. I hope you enjoy, though I am a bit shaky with the writing talent and I did indeed write this first chapter at 7AM during my night awake(Had spent the day drinking and couldn't take my meds, so of course, insomnia rules over all and this is what came of it.) Funny story, too, It's 2AM right now. You do not need to read In The Name Of Soap Opera unless you already have, or you really want to. It was written four years ago, so yes, this is much better and won't really be referencing much to the point where you absolutely have to read it.

Anyhow, please enjoy, and I do not own Naruto.

Yes, Goodbye

Chapter One

All You Need

Snow flakes landed gracefully on the tops of two lovers hats as they held each other, smiling, sharing warm, sweet kisses, never feeling so close. Incidents had happened, the two had almost been torn apart, but love prevailed, and here they were. Together.

"Gaara.." The blond spoke quietly, reaching up and holding the red head's face in his hands. His cheeks were cold, and his breathe came out in smokey huffs. His teeth were chattering loudly, and he was shaking a bit. "We should go home... you're freezing to death."

"Okay.. just a moment.." Turning, Gaara moved from Naruto's embrace and knelt down, touching the tomb stone gently. Giving himself a minute, he stayed down beside it, allowing himself to inch closer into frostbite. Quietly, he spoke, a whisper to Naruto's ear. "Until next year, mother. Farewell."

Reaching for Gaara, Naruto helped him to his feet and walked with him out of the grave yard. Smiling sadly at the red head, he held his arm close as they stepped side by side, gently resting his head against his shoulder. "Thank you, Gaara.."

"What for?" He replied, his mouth almost blue as his teeth chattered violently. Naruto stopped him and pulled him into a tight hug, standing in the middle of the street as cars drove by, leaving trails behind them in the continuously flowing snow. "Hm..?"

"For sharing that moment with me." Smiling, he looked up at Gaara for a moment before pulling him into a passionate kiss. Being brought back to reality by a honking horn, Naruto giggled, sliding his arms from around his boyfriend's shoulders and gazing into his beautiful sea green eyes. "I know how hard it is, and how painful. I'm glad you can embrace those painful memories with me by your side to hold you."

Silent, Gaara nodded, and took his hand before continuing the journey home. Today was the death of his mother, which also happened to be his birthday. January 19th, every year Gaara would visit her tomb stone, usually celebrating his birthday with her, alone in the graveyard. This year, he had Naruto, and this year, he shared Naruto with his mother. Secretly, he wondered if she would give signs of approval, maybe telling him what she thought of his soul mate.

Trying to pass it off as silly, he just had to counter it with the fact that it's not too farfetched. Would his late mother approve of his boyfriend? If only he could laugh at that, but it was no laughing matter. Gaara was serious, he was going to wait for a sign, some paranormal message, and then...

He would ask Naruto to marry him.

"What are you thinking of?" The blond asked, his ocean blue eyes set on the pale and blank expression of his beloved boyfriend. He knew today was a tough day for him, but he didn't want the poor guy to dwell in his thoughts. Not getting much of a reaction, he sighed, staring forward as he held Gaara's hand tighter. He couldn't force him out of his head, and knowing Gaara, if he's that deep then there's almost no point in even trying.

Of course, Gaara was still caught in his thoughts. Would Naruto say yes to him? Would it be a good time? Should he wait longer? He wasn't sure, and dispite his calm exterior, on the inside, he was actually frantic and anxious. This was the way Naruto made him feel. He made him.. well, feel. No longer an empty void, the blond had brought life into his soulless carcass. He disliked the anxiety and neurotic-ism it ensued, but the good out weighed the bad.

Love. Love was an absolutely wonderful feeling, and through this one thing, this love, Gaara had explored so many emotions, felt so many things. He truly felt alive.

"Seriously.." Naruto, now frowning, prodded at Gaara as they walked, nearing his house. He looked up at the red head with weary eyes, seemingly worried. "Gaara, you look like you're going to kill yourself. Are you okay? Please talk to me.."

Eying Naruto, Gaara chuckled quietly, shaking his head and pulling the blond closer. Giving a low sigh, the red head answered his concerned boyfriend. "Stop worrying so much, I'm not thinking of anything bad, and certainly not suicide. I'm fine."

"Well, what are you so deep in thought about then?" Naruto intertwined their arms, his lips raising in a smile, and his eyebrows curving in curiosity. For a moment, he wondered if Gaara was thinking about him. Maybe he was finally ready to go all the way. They'd been so close, so very close, but Gaara decided he wanted to wait a bit longer. Which was fine, but after the taste he had gotten, Naruto couldn't wait to get more of him. He blushed at the mere thought of it.

"Nothing really," Gaara turned a bit more to get a better glimpse of Naruto's face, smirking at the sight of him. It seemed as though Naruto had something on his mind, as well. "Though I can't say the same for you, tomato face."

"W-what?" He reached a hand to his face, blushing harder and looking away. Reaching the front of Gaara's house, they stopped, and the red head put his arms around Naruto's waist, smiling at him. The blond turned his head as he continued to blush, suddenly really shy and quiet now.

"All you need to know, Naruto.." Gaara spoke softly, swaying back and forth with him a bit, turning the blond's head so they were facing each other. Gaara leaned his forehead on Naruto's, humming his words.

"All you need to know is.. Yes."

A/N: Ahaa, I know it's short. Decent? Hopefully, whatever you the reader has to say. I tried my best for the state I was in. :D. ANYWAY, I hope you liked, and the next chapter shall be on it's way soon.
