Waiting for a Yes [Modern!Neji x Reader]

PART 18

Matsuri, the president of the Gaara fanclub was a little peeved at this very moment. It's been two weeks since Gaara and [Name] started dating and the gossip has already spread around, but why was she the last to know? Why was she the last to notice the change in Gaara's behavior?

"I can't believe they're fucking dating!" She yelled at the crowd of fangirls at the weekly Thursday meeting during lunch. She wanted to pull at her hazelnut brown hair and scream. "He should be dating me!"

Matsuri was one of the scariest fangirls at this school. She may be sweet on the outside, but once you crossed her, she would seek revenge. [Name] had just crossed that line. Dating Gaara was probably the most unforgivable thing Matsuri could think of.

"I was the one that changed schools just to be with him! I was the one that gave him answers to the math homework in freshmen year! I was the one that built that shrine to him in my closet! I even followed him for six hours just to see if he was okay!" Matsuri cried out. "[Name] hasn't done any of that! I love him more than she could ever love him!"

The crowd of rabid fangirls went into a frenzy.

"[Name] is a snake!"

"She stole him right from under you!"

"Gaara is blinded by [Name's] tricks!"

"Gaara deserves better!"

"[Name] isn't worthy of him!"

The meeting went on like this for a while. The fans either shouted out how much of a snake [Name] is or how hot Gaara looked today.

Matsuri thought up and presented a plan to ruin Gaara's current relationship. Outright abuse towards [Name] would get Matsuri and her gaggle of followers expelled, but gossip did exist and it most certainly thrived at this school.

The group devised a plan to spread nasty rumors about [Name] that would eventually lead to their break up. Matsuri then would hope that Gaara would finally return her affections after seeing what a nasty person [Name] actually is — or what the rumors would allude to.

"Operation: Take down [Name] is a go."

...

[Name] was sort of having a problem. Maybe she was taking everything too fast or maybe it was her hormones that went into panic mode whenever Gaara was near, but she was ready for their first kiss. She was ready to feel his lips on top of hers in that loving way that only couples could do.

He never delivered. Always avoiding her lips whenever he could. He kissed up and down her neck, all over her cheeks, even go so far down to kiss the skin above her breasts, but never her lips.

Did he not want to kiss her lips? Was there something wrong with her?

"Hey Gaara?" She said, turning towards her boyfriend. Her fifth period with Gaara was about to begin in two minutes, but knowing Mr. Hatake, he wouldn't be here for another eight minutes.

"Yes?"

She hesitated before she spoke. How would she ask him? How does someone ask for a kiss?

"C-Can I..." She stops herself. Did she really just stutter?! Never in her life has she ever done that! She began to wonder what was wrong with her.

She swallows the lump in her throat, and continues with her question. Gaara watched with amusement dancing in his seafoam green eyes.

"Can I have a kiss?" She mumbles while fiddling with her fingers.

A smirk placed itself on Gaara's face as he pondered her question. A nervous feeling settled in the pit of [Name's] stomach, and she didn't understand why.

He placed his soft fingertips underneath her chin, his thumb tracing over her lips. The look in his eyes made him seem like an untamed beast. Blood rushed in every direction inside of the poor girl's body — her hormones were definitely in panic mode now. She didn't know whether to feel embarrassed or aroused.

His lips drew near, almost touching her. The heat between them intensified almost becoming unbearable to stay in clothes. Her breath hitched in her throat. Her abnormal heartbeat pounded in her ears. Centimeters from her lips, Gaara uttered out a single word.

"No."

He pulled away with an arrogant smirk on his face. He loves seeing his girlfriend flustered and speechless.

The girl stumbled on her words, trying to find the right things to say. When she couldn't speak, she puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms.

"So cute," he whispers as he watched her pout. His finger grazed her cheek and she flinched away from him.

"Don't touch me," she pouts, turning her head away from him. "You're a meanie butt."

Gaara chuckles, pulling her chair closer to him. He placed his head on her shoulder and comfortably rested his hand on her knee.

Softly he said, "Don't be like that baby."

"Hmph."

"You know I want nothing more than to feel your lips on mine." With his thumb, he creates small circles on her skin.

"Then why won't you kiss me?" She questioned, her voice trembled slightly. She was afraid of his answer even though he just admitted to wanting to be intimate with her.

"I want our first kiss to be special. I want to be alone with you, a place somewhere that's so remote that I could have you all to myself. No distractions, no people — just us."

[Name] mulled over his sweet words, trying to find a place she knew that was secluded and quiet enough for them to make out. She couldn't really think up a place without having to run away with Gaara — forever.

"How about my place," she suggests. "I live alone, my neighbors are relatively quiet, and you'll be the first one to ever see the inside of my apartment."

Gaara smiles. "Okay, but I'll have to come by a little later. I lost a bet and promised Naruto to buy him ramen."

The corners of [Name's] lips turn upwards. She didn't think she'd easily convince Gaara to come over.

Excitement oozed from every pore on her body. She was so happy that she could hardly contain herself.

I can't believe he's coming over!
