The Five Nations Ninja Academy Gaara x Reader Naruto Modern School world

I love him?

            "I'll pass," Gaara spoke.

My heart skipped a beat and my whole body froze. I felt like I was strucked, I thought he liked me... I guess not. I don't know why I would even want a kiss from him and I mean it's not like I have a crush on him... Maybe I do... It seems that all the guys whom I thought liked actually does not...

"Alright, so you'll pay?" I asked with my voice shaking a little bit and gulped.

He looked at me and then he dropped the coin to the ground. Before we parted he quickly whispered and said, "You okay?" I shook my head without looking at him and spun the bottle. It pointed to Neji and Temari. I returned to my seat and I breathed in, for some reason a tear wants to escape. Why am I so sensitive to that? Did my body really want me to do it? I noticed that almost everyone, once in a while glances at me but I glance back which made them look back. I hated this feeling, I don't want to feel that jealousy whenever Neji kisses someone else, I don't want to feel rejected by someone like Gaara. I feel like I'm going to burst.

I stood up and said," I'm just going to the washroom, just continue the game, if I'm picked then please skip my turn." Everyone agreed and some just stared at me as I left the room. I knew there was a washroom in the room but I went out of the room and found another washroom nearby. I went in and quickly locked the door. I looked into the mirror realizing that tears escaped rapidly out of my eyes. I quickly wiped them away but more just came out... I can't believe I'm crying on such a stupid thing. I sniffed, quickly grabbed a tissue and blew my nose.

"Why am I feeling this way? I'm becoming more stupid every time I spend time with them," I chuckled as I sniffed.

"This is just a game... just a game," I told myself.

I tried to comfort myself by imagining someone warm hugging me. Like Neji would, if only he was here to comfort me but I can't have him knowing what a coward I am for crying on something so childish. I wish these words would struck me but I just felt some pain in the heart.

I washed my face until my face was back to normal. I opened the door with my hair to my front, my body shivered.

"Never have I seen you that way before."

I quickly turned to where the sound was coming from. "Neji?" I asked. "What are you doing here?" I hoped he didn't use his byakugan to spy on me again. He went towards and placed his hands on each of my shoulder as our eyes locked. He pulled me, bumping into his chest but I resisted but nope, he won and I laid on his warm chest.

"What's up with you?" I asked.

"I should be asking that," he spoke.

"You never told me that you were secretly dating Sakura," I muttered as I tried to get of him but has hand just pushed me back onto him.

"I never told you because I am not dating her," he replied.

I looked up at him and said, "Then what was that all about? Making out huh?" Neji chuckled as he touched my chin. With the gentle touches gave me goosebumps.

"Were you jealous?" he asked with grin.

My lips were firm and I slapped his hand away. "As if I will ever," I muttered. He chuckled with an amused smile. "Then why were you crying in the washroom?" he asked.

"I knew it! You were spying on me! You should use that byakugan for a good purpose, I thought you were mature," I muttered with my arms crossed.

"It is for a good purpose," he said.

I rolled my eyes and walked back to the room until he caught my arm and spun to his direction. He was so graceful and swift that he went close to me in that manner. He leaned close to my forehead and kissed it as his hands were locked with mine. I froze in that moment, Neji is seriously charmingly sweet.

"What is the purpose you speak of?" I asked, talking like a robot because of what he did.

"To always be there for you, wherever you may be, whatever you are feeling, I want to be that person who would be there to comfort you," he spoke.

Wow... Does he care about me that much? I'm confused, what have I done to make him act this way? Does he like me that much? He has always been there for me... Something more than a best friend... But for some reason, I feel something much stronger to Gaara that made me cry, I would let Neji in but I need to get rid of the feelings I have for Gaara... I hate it.

"Why do you care for me so much?" I asked as he removed his lips away from my head and tilted his head down to me as his head bumped against mine and his lavender tinted eyes stared at mine.

"Because I value you, I felt a sense of inclination to keep you safe even if you are stronger," he said as he raised his head and grabbed my hand. "Sometimes, there are things that you just can't protect yourself from, which is why I want to support you in those situations."

"But what about Sakura? I thought you liked her?" I asked.

"Since when did I say that?" he laughed. "I'll tell you everything when we're going to play seven minutes in heaven," he spoke.

We went inside, everyone looked, realizing that my hand was grasped by Neji's. My cheeks warmed up and I removed it and went to my spot quickly. It seems that they were waiting for us.

"Hey, [y/n], you okay?" Naruto asked.

I nodded and said," So, who's next?" Sakura spun the bottle and ironically it pointed to me and Neji. He grinned as we stood in front of each other. His gentle fingers touched my cheek making its way putting my front hair behind my ear. I felt my body warming up and my heart beating faster. He leaned closer, almost so close until he kissed my cheek instead.

Hm, he didn't kiss me but I guess that counts. "Hey! You have to kiss in the lips!" Sakura yelled. I rolled my eyes, she's actually annoying, acting like she's the boss.

"You never said in the lips," Neji muttered.

"That's how it is usually played to make it more exciting," Sakura said.

"Fine," he said and glanced towards me.

"May I?" he asked gently.

"Sure, I mean we're best friends after all," I said as he grasped his hands on each of my arm.

His head going close to mine as he leaned down, tilting his head avoiding our nose to collide. His soft lips made it's way to mine. My heart beat faster than ever, I've never felt whole or satisfied, I don't know why. Our eyes were closed and I kissed him back and Neji stopped to breathe and kissed me once more by placing his lips to my lower one as he's doing so, his hands making it's way to my waist and to my back. It wasn't as wild as Sakura and Neji did but this was smooth.

"Hey! Stop making out! Don't be like the one you did to Sakura! Naruto yelled in annoyance.

We finally stopped and parted, his hands were still behind my back, he didn't realize it, so he blushed in embarrassment. I chuckled and placed my head unto his chest.

"Got carried away I see," I chuckled.

"I apologize," he said.

"Nah, it's fine, I'm sure you enjoyed that," I teased as all of us laughed in unison.

I felt this sense of feeling wanting more, maybe I should just let him in and forget about Gaara, I mean it's not like Gaara likes me but I can truly see that Neji does. I get why Tenten likes Neji that much but I don't want Tenten to be upset or anything but I just feel like I truly feel something about Neji that I somehow can't express.
