I... I'm In Love...? [Gaalee College AU!]

Chapter 11 - How I feel.

Lee chased after Gaara for a very long time, until Gaara turned a corner and lost Lee.

Lee started to panic. This was supposed to be a decent date! How could I have lost him!? He thought, looking around for Gaara. He looked everywhere Gaara could fit. Everywhere Gaara could hide. Anywhere! Gaara was nowhere to be found. Lee regrets bringing up the question. It was stupid of him to assume that they'd known each other! It was probably personal! That's why Gaara had ran off! Lee mentally slapped himself. I suppose I should just give up... Someone who runs off just wants to be left alone... Lee thinks, moping all the way back to the dorms to suffer in silence.

Meanwhile, Gaara had slipped back to his shop, not surprised that there were quite a few people waiting impatiently at the counter. He sighed and told them all it was about time to close shop, but all of them said their plants needed care. Gaara just told them how to care for the plants and they all left within the next ten minutes. Gaara looked at a small clock on the wall shaped like a cactus. It's about time I get back to campus... Gaara thinks, grabbing a small cactus off of the counter and locking the door after walking out of the shop. He turns and starts heading back to the dorms.

The next few days, Lee didn't know what to do. He'd lost his most precious person to a small question. He mentally punched and kicked himself every day he didn't see Gaara. Gaara wasn't even in his classes, let alone his club! Lee had checked the club space, and the class he had with Gaara. No sign of him. He wondered if Gaara was just avoiding him.

"It was only one question... Maybe.... Naruto knows which dorm is Gaara's...." Lee sighs sadly. Right after class Lee went to find Naruto, oblivious to which class Naruto was in, since he hadn't really peeked into Naruto's life. All he knew was Naruto was one; a party animal, and two; he is dating a quiet girl named Hinata, which is quite surprising.

       Lee eventually found Naruto not in any class at all. He was sitting on a bench intensely comforting a friend of his. Lee approached slowly, not wanting to startle either of them since it seemed pretty bad.

       "Ehh.... Naruto?" Lee asks, stopping in front of Naruto. Naruto looks up and smiles.

        "Yo, Bushy Brows! What's up? Need help with somethin'?" Naruto asks as the man next to him gets up and leaves. It reminded Lee of a therapist's office.

       "Y...." Lee sighs, "Yes. I need to know where Gaara-Kun is. He... I... I said something wrong and... He... Well... It's a long story, Naruto, J just need to-" Lee gets cut off by Naruto raising a hand.

       "Listen, Bushy Brows, okay. So, I don't know exactly where your mans is, but I do know that if I were on a date and the person I was with said somethin' stupid, I'd be pretty pissed." Naruto says, not helping at all. Lee's heart sinks all the way down to the pit of his stomach.

       "Do... Do you really think I... I made Gaara-Kun mad....??" Lee asks, tears appearing in his eyes. Naruto shrugs.

       "I dunno, Bushy Brows, It's not my boyfriend." Naruto says, standing up and leaving. Lee stood in the same place for a few more minutes and then ran back to his dorm room and locked himself in there.

       That night... Naruto threw a big ass party and Lee was not happy.

Sorry for the wait, guys. I don't know if more than a few people even keep track of this story anymore, but I'm going to try to keep going anyways. It gives me hope when people comment on my stories.
Thanks, BestScienceBros
