Title: All in good fun

Author’s Note: I think I’ve become a Kankurotard. I love him so much. This takes place not too far after Naruto Shippuden episode 8 or 9. Not too spoilerish.

Pairing: Gai/Kankuro

Warning: PG-13, bad humor, mention of sex

Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto

It wasn’t every day that Kankuro wore his formal attire. Its heavy black fabric and veil made it impossible to wear it routinely so it was mostly reserved for funerals of puppeteers. But as far as Gaara knew no one had dropped dead recently. Suna was reaching its 100th day of absolutely no casualties so it was a big event. Gaara would make damn sure to keep everyone alive so that the celebration would go as planned.

After a couple of curious stares from the family and melodramatic sighs from the emo kid, Gai finally broke the silence around the dinner table.

“Um…Kitty, are you all right?”

A muttered noise flowed out from behind the heavy black veil.

“I guess that’s a no,” Temari replied. “What’s wrong, Kankuro?”

“Nothing.”

“Lair. Is your face breaking out again?”

“No.”

“Then what is it?”

“You know when I was fighting Sasori?”

General nods all around.

“Well…he called me…cute.”

General ‘so what?’ stares all around.

“Is that a bad think, kitty?”

“Yes! I’m not supposed to be cute! Plus it was from an old creepy guy. I felt so dirty.”

Gaara and Temari sent curious stares in Gai’s direction while the Leaf Jounin amused himself by folding his napkin and looking very innocent.

“Do you think I’m…cute?”

Gaara busted out laughing. To say that is a rare sight is an overstatement. When the Kazekage realized that he was now the center of everyone’s attention he shut his mouth and tried not to blush. “Um…no.”

Kankuro sighed and wondered how difficult acquiring a new family would be. He lived with a bunch of freaks and idiots.

“I think what Gaara meant was,” Temari began with the noble intent to placate her brother but was now unsure how to finish, “is that you’re not cute…more like….hot.”

Gaara smirked, looking too much like a imp that Kankuro would have preferred. “Yes. Exactly. You’re hot. You’re the one with the rippling muscles. Me? I’ve got nothing.”

“When have you ever seen my muscles ripple?”

“Oh, I have my ways.” That sounded ominous enough but when he tapped his left eyes everyone stared at him in horror. “I’m kidding!” After killing people for 12 years, it was always hard to make people laugh.

“You’re not funny at all.”

Gai was glad that he was sitting next to his boyfriend so he didn’t have to cover up his grim too much. After you get passed all the eccentricity and shamelessness, the sand siblings were surprisingly affectionate.

“You’re gorgeous even,” Gai teased a bit.

“Sexy definitely,” Temari added.

“Man, you guys suck,” Kankuro snapped and ripped of his hood, throwing it at Gaara. “We can never have decent conversations.”

“Well, when my little brother is moping because some weirdo called him cute it’s really hard to.”

Kankuro glared at them. “Well, I’m happy that your find this so amusing.”

“Settle down, kitty,” Gai murmured softly, grabbing Kankuro’s hand when he got up to leave. “I don’t understand while you’re so aggravated. I call you cute all the time.”

“Yeah I know but Sasori wasn’t going to blow me after he called me cute.”

Gai never found his napkin so interesting before.

The End

Please enjoy. ^_^b

Comments are ♥.

The idea for Kankuro's 'formal attire' comes from a japanese comic about Kankuro's childhood where one pupetter is wearing a hood with just slits in it for eyes. I thought it was totallybadasscool. I need to find the site and link it back here. :3

Here it is :)
