Chapter Text
Can I Shout it?
The Kazekage, the leader and formidable ninja of the Sand village. A respected, quiet, and resilient man. A caring, responsible, cute… no, beautiful man. Now that I think about it, beautiful still seems to be an understatement…
"Lee! If you don’t answer this time I'm giving up." a familiar uninterested voice called.
Rock Lee flinched. He had been standing still as a statue, stuck in thought. It wasn’t like him to get distracted during his personal practice sessions.
"Why did I have to be the one to bring lee to the meeting? Shikamaru groaned as he walked with his hands lazily sitting in his pockets. "What a drag.". He headed through the dense forest towards Lee's training grounds.
Lee sighed, upset that he wasted his training time daydreaming. Stepping back, he performed a perfect leaf hurricane on the practice tree.
"It was not entirely a waste, it is important to enjoy the springtime of youth. I am sure Gai sensei will be proud that I have found someone special to me. Someone that I want to protect and…" Lee began to blush profusely at his own thoughts of affection for the Sand ninja.
Shikamaru made it to a clearing in the forest, littered with tree stumps and broken training dummies. The lethargic ninja sighed again.
"High strung ninja are always training." Shikamaru looked longingly at the sky. "What I'd give to be a cloud."
Moments later he felt a breeze hit his back and he slowly turned to see Lee. He was covered in dirt and sweat but his eyes were as optimistic as ever.
"Do not worry Shikamaru, I am finished training." Lee spoke, glancing up to the sky to see what Shikamaru had been looking at. "Am I needed somewhere?"
"Yea, the Hokage has a mission for you. He sent me to fetch you."
"Thank you Shikamaru." Lee slightly bowed his head. " I will visit the Hokage immediately." Lee turned to leave.
"I'll be heading back too. Lord Hokage said he wanted me to return with you."
Lee nodded and started towards the Hokage's with Shikamaru a few steps behind.
In the Hokage's Office
"Hello Lord Hokage, I am here to receive my mission."
Kakashi looked up from the stack of papers and saw a bored spiky haired boy and a boy clad in green, standing as straight as humanly possible. For a moment it brought forth memories of his eternal friend and rival, Gai. Kakashi smiled under his Kage mask.
"I need you to retrieve someone for me. There are two possible locations."
As Lee nods in understanding, two more ninja walk into the room. A blonde with pale blue eyes and a pink haired kunoichi with turquoise eyes.
"Sensei, we're here for the mission." said the pink haired girl.
Lee glanced at Shikamaru with a raised eyebrow to which Shikamaru shrugged.
"Lord seventh, I must ask. Will we all embark on the same mission?" Lee questions, finding it strange to send them all together. Unless the foe will require extra hands.
"As fun as that would be, no. I need two teams. Each team will travel to a location and search for the missing person." Kakashi says eyeing the young ninja.
"And you want Lee and I to team up and Sakura to be with Ino. Then each team will be able to capture the target with my shadows or Ino's mind transfer while their partner ties them up or knocks them out." Shikamaru stated and sighed once again.
"Precisely." Kakashi said, "Now, the first location is in the land of Lightning." Kakashi narrowed his eyes.
"Most likely in the cloud village, they'll be trying to lay low."
"Ok… and where's the other one?" Ino asked, noticing the sudden intensity in Kakashi's eyes. She wondered who could make this perpetually cool headed ninja upset. Probably a potential threat to Konoha.
"The other location is in the land of winds, hiding somewhere in the Sand vill-"
"Lord Hokage I would like to be the one to search for the target in the second location." Lee bowed. Not wanting to miss this opportunity to visit the Kazekage. If I capture the target swiftly, I will be able to see Gaara. Perhaps I can tell him my feelings of affection. A small smile flashed on Lees face.
"Hm, alright." Kakashi slightly raised an eyebrow.
Shikamaru grumbled in the corner as Kakashi spoke. "Lee and Shikamaru will go to the sand village. Ino and Sakura, you’ll go to the Cloud." Kakashi grabbed two scrolls and handed one to each team. "Do not open the scroll until you reach your destinations. It contains a picture of your target and specific procedures on how to deliver them back to me."
With that, the ninja bowed their heads and left the Hokage's office. Each one went to gather the supplies needed for the journeys ahead.
"Gai sensei!" Lee called as he made his way to see his master before embarking on his mission.
"Yes, Lee. I hear my old rival Kakashi's given you quite the mission." Gai said with one hand on his hip and the other one pointing at Lee.
"Yes, Gai sensei. I am traveling to capture a missing person. However, I am also going to visit someone very special to me." Lee proclaimed, light blush on his cheeks.
Gai rubbed his chin, in deep existential thought. Then, in an instant Gai grabbed Lee's hand and raised it to the sky. The most vivid sunset of reds and oranges began to blaze the sky behind them.
"Oh, Lee!!! You're blossoming in the springtime of youth!!" He looked down and clenched his fist. "Go and share it!!! Always remember to be true to your love!!!" Gai yelled with tears streaming down his face.
Lee listened with praise and tears flowing as well. "THANK YOU GAI SENSEI!!".
The Nara residence.
Shikamaru stood idly on the path in front of his house clutching his hand around an item he bought in town today. He gazed at the clouds floating near the soon to be setting sun. He let loose a sigh and began walking towards the village exit. Another mission to the Sand. If she's there I'll give it to her but if not then… that would be a drag. The shadow ninja furrowed his brow and sighed once again.
At the Village Exit/ Entrance
Lee was stretching his long legs in a deep lunge while Shikamaru rolled his eyes. Having had become accustomed with Lee's overflowing energy and passion over the years didn’t make him immune.
"It is good you are here, Shikamaru." Lee stood up straight and nodded. "I am anxious to begin our journey to the Land of wind's Sand village."
Shikamaru pocketed his hands and the item he was carrying. Looking up he noticed the especially bright flame burning in Lees eyes. Hmmm.
"What's got you so excited to travel miles of land on foot? Is there someone you're hoping to see?" Shikamaru lazily asked, though he already knew the answer.
Lee smiled big and rubbed the back of his head. "You are so perceptive Shikamaru. I am eager to see someone very special to me. I want to tell him how I feel about him!" Lee stated, suddenly looking even more fired up.
Shikamaru hummed in response. His brain working to narrow down the possible recipients of Lee's affections.
"I'm pretty sure Sakura and Ino have already left. It would be annoying to fall behind on our retrieval mission, we should leave soon."
Somewhere in the Sand village (that same night)
Night had fallen over the Land of Wind. Children were going to sleep in their homes while people were plotting, drinking, and laughing. A perfectly normal night in the Sand. However, during this regular night, two foreign ninja take a chance in a cheap hotel room. Moonlight spilled into their room as the young men faced each other in darkness. Neither one went to turn on the light, almost as if the artificial heat would be a disgrace to the fire that burned in them, a fire they would soon share.
The silhouetted bodies were still, then slowly, one moved. The boy seemed to have short spiky hair and a muscular physique. The moonlight danced on his shoulders as a trepidatious hand moved toward the other boy. He had a toned lean frame and shoulder length hair that was a bit spiky in the back. The long haired boy's eyes flashed red as he flinched at the closeness of the other boys touch. The boy with short hair paused for a moment, blue eyes looking for permission. With a slight nod that caused dark long hair to sway, the blue eyed boy stepped forward to hold the other's face and kissed him, causing red eyes to fade into black, almost completely fused with the darkness that surrounded them. The kiss was just a peck, so soft that the recipient brushed his fingers over his lips for proof that he had really been kissed. Inches away, the other ninja wrapped his arms around the other and ran his hand through his partners long hair. He relished the soft texture that was so different from his own stiff hair.
They stayed unmoving, encased in each other's arms for what seemed to be years. Then in an instant, the long haired boy pulled his head from the other boys neck and kissed him back. This kiss was not like the first, it was long and deep. The ninja tilted their heads to acquire better angles for their tongues to delve and explore the hot wet caverns. There was a moan, though its owner is undetermined. Both seemed to be weak yet enlivened in the others presence. The long hair ninja tore his lips away. His partner began to pull up at his shirt and he allowed it.
Moments later the passionate ninja were fully naked and panting as they lay on the hotel bed. The spiky haired boy laying flush on top of his counterpart. Their erections throbbed against each other as the boys grinded together. Addicted to the friction he felt on his leaking member and the love he felt in his beating heart, the blue eyed ninja on top put his index and middle finger in his lovers mouth. He moaned as a slick tongue slurped on his fingers with great attentiveness. He watched as saliva collected around the black eyed boy's smirking lips then slowly fell down his chin.
The eager spiky haired ninja pulled his fingers out and brought them to the others entrance. He rubbed the blunt finger around the puckered hole, dragging a moan out from his partner's throat. Then he gradually pushed his middle and index finger in. He wanted to stretch the ring of flesh to ease his eventual entrance into the beautiful heat. However, he realized that it had already been prepared. The boy beneath him turned his head away in embarrassment and mumbled something inaudible. Blue eyes glistened and he kissed the ninja beneath him.
After a few moments of stillness, the blue eyed ninja grabbed his lovers legs and put them on his own shoulders. Then he stroked his solid erection and blushed inwardly at how much precum he had leaked. Then lined himself up with the dripping pink hole, watching it quiver as he pushed in.
Both boys panted as their hips finally collided. As the thick cock began to pump in and out of the lean ninjas most sensitive area he pulled the spiky haired boy into him and bit his lip, pulling it down, trying to get access into his mouth. Sloppy mouths sucked at each other and the stimulation pushed the spiky ninja to rapidly speed up his pace, sending his partner into a fit of growls and moans. In this moment the boys were both fulfilled. They couldn’t dream of being apart. Out of devotion and fear that their moment in time would end the spikey haired boy pounded into his lover, almost as if trying to meld themselves together through sheer force. The emotion and stimulation was too intense for either boy to last much longer. With a simultaneous stroke of his cock and pressure on his prostate the long haired boy came. And as he came his ass constricted on his lovers erection, causing him to climax inside of him.
The spiky haired boy collapsed on his counterpart not taking his softening cock out. The long hair boy could feel the warm liquid now in him and the small twitches of his lovers cock.
After pulling out, the two lay together in the mess they made and fell asleep hand in hand.
