Mama I'm in Love With A Criminal

06

It wasn't a lot to Gaara. He was used to being disappointed and this is exactly what this conversation was. Disappointment. He watched as Neji sat on his bed and he looked at Gaara as of Gaara was overreacting.

What did Gaara expect?

They both hardly spoke, their first dates were spent cuddling, little talking and sex. Now don't get Gaara wrong, the sex is amazing. However they didn't do anything else.

"Can you tell me why you are upset, and left the minute I sat down on the bed?" Neji asked, this time looking directly at Gaara.

Gaara was cute, dressed in a dress that was a little tight on him, his red hair fell to his shoulders, and his teal eyes looked annoyed. He didn't like that, granted Gaara hardly showed emotion if it wasn't when they were making love, this face just felt... Off to Neji.

"Can you tell me why you didn't want to tell me you worked in the Mafia Neji? How you don't communicate to me unless you are calling me a good boy? This." Gaara scoffed moving his hand to signal the relationship between him and Neji,

"This whatever this is, is nothing but sex. Am I nothing but sex to you." Neji sighed, he had hoped that Gaara wouldn't find out until a little later, until they could fall absolutely in love with one another. Though he patted the seat next to him and Gaara was skeptical.

Though he did walk and sit down keeping his space, he knew that when Neji got close and started touching him, he couldn't resist.

"The plan was to tell you, it always was. However I didn't want to lose the person I think about constantly." Gaara blinked, not saying anything telling Neji to continue.

"You are more than sex to me, and do you want me to prove it to you?" Neji asked and Gaara moved closer, nodding his head. Neji laid down and brought Gaara to his chest. He started speaking.

"So Shikamaru's father died, and didn't tell him about the business. We were both 18 when some older male with yellow hair came up to us on the street and told Shikamaru of his destiny." Neji blinked.

"Shikamaru took over the mafia and ran it better than his father did, and it worked for him. He however needed somebody by his side and while I hated the thought of killing innocent people, Shikamaru was a friend that I basically grew up with. So I accepted the spot by his side." Gaara was interested in this.

"We changed the Mafia and managed to make it exactly how Shikamaru wanted it. We didn't kill innocent people, just those who have wronged us and others. We made it to where we legally work for the police. Shikamaru didn't want us to be the stereotypical Mafia group and we aren't and I'm glad I said yes to shikamaru despite my trepidation." Neji blinked.

"My name is Neji Hyuga. I'm twenty nine years old, and I like to read and watch old movies, and most of all I like you Gaara Sabaku." Gaara closed his eyes and hummed.

"You dug up my name?" Gaara asked and Neji hummed.

"I did, though why didn't you tell me your relationship to the Sand Mafia?" Gaara blinked, he tilted his head like a confused puppy and proceeded to speak.

"What relation?" Neji blinked and looked down.

"Really? You don't know that you are basically the third in line to that group?" Gaara was confused, Neji was even more confused and so he pulled out his phone, and the duo went over the information on it.

That surprised Gaara immensely, he couldn't wait to tell Naruto.

Said redhead was sleeping, contently in the arms of somebody he threaten to kill. Said body was looking through his phone. He got a text from a member and ended up groaning. He looked down and gave Naruto a kiss and dislodged himself from the redhead.

The redhead whined, and opened his eyes. Looking as Shikamaru talked on the phone and paced, he frowned and stood up, yawning and scratching his head he watched as Shikamaru responded exactly how he thought he would.

"You know I hate doing things, why wasn't this handled?"

Lazily.

Naruto walked up to him and snuggled into his side, tuning out Shikamaru entirely, as Shikamaru held him tightly, mad at whoever was on the phone but was gentle to Naruto.

"If I catch this bastard that you were supposed to be stalking anyways, I'm going to dock your pay. Dog Breathe." Shikamaru hung up and that's when the whining started.

"Are you leaving me?" Naruto said whining, Shikamaru almost said no. Tempted to send Sasuke and or Neji to deal with it, however...

"Yes, I have to go catch and maybe kill of somebody. He has been trying to extend in this part of Konoha, because Suna's resources are drying up. After multiple talks and sit downs they weren't being reasonable, so we cut ties with them, though he seems hellbent on doing whatever he pleases." Naruto looked at Shikamaru, those blue eyes looked so sad.

"Don't look at me like that. Didn't you threaten to kill me?" Naruto rolled his eyes and tossed himself into Shikamaru.

"We haven't even gotten time together, this isn't fair." Naruto said softly, Shikamaru was happy that even though they never did much together, Naruto was just as hooked on his presence that he was on his.

"You've been busy with work and now you have to leave for work. I don't like it." Naruto said, praying Shikamaru could send somebody else, how dangerous was this man if Shikamaru had to go out and kill him.

Naruto was hoping Shikamaru would ask him to come. Though he wouldn't hold his breath. He knew Shikamaru wanted to keep him...

"Did you want to come with me? It shouldn't be a long hit at all and we can get ramen after?" Naruto immediately ran off to his closet and Shikamaru smiled. Texting Choji on the coordinates of where Kankuro ans Temari were last seen.

Naruto came out in a mask and black jeans and a plain white shirt. It wasn't much but he didn't want to be too much. Shikamaru held his hand out, and Naruto grabbed sunglasses. Shikamaru took him to his car and once he received the coordinates from Choji he headed there.

Naruto wasn't nervous and if he was honest with himself he wanted to see how Shikamaru worked. He didn't want to partake in it , but something told him he was going to see a different side to Shikamaru tagging along with him while he worked.

Shikamaru was glad his windows were heavily tinted. He looked at Naruto and kissed his on his lips before he spoke.

"Give fifteen minutes tops." Naruto nodded, and Shikamaru called Naruto. Naruto answered and Shikamaru placed his phone in his pocket, locked the door and headed into the lions den.
