•I Could Barley Control Myself•
They're insane
Gaara sat silently at his desk as a bunch of angry fanboys glared daggers into his skull.
'The reward better be worth the pain.' He nudged, his desk buddy to wake as the teacher was about to turn around to see them.
"Huh? Oh thanks, Gaara.."
"I can't keep copying your notes, Naruto. The teacher knows my handwriting pretty well." Gaara is the school's number one helper in cheating or ghost writing. That said, he's made a bunch of cash from his little business and Naruto was his best customer.
"Sorry, this will be the last time I swear!"
"You're lucky, you're the only person I'd give my friend discount."
"Eh, you feeling extra selfless since you're dating the popular girl."
"If it helps you sleep at night." Gaara closed the book of notes and nudged it his way.
"I sleep like a baby, thank you very much." Naruto scoffed at his comment while doodling on his desk.
"So cute, try not doing that here or the teacher will eat your grades before your eyes." His serious face made Naruto's gut feel uneasy but he knew that Gaara was messing with him.
"Yeah, anyways Gaara see you around!" Naruto hopped out of his seat as the bell rung on time.
'My safety just ran off...' He shook his head in disappointment ad he grabbed his bag, The feeling of irritation grew as he was followed everywhere and it didn't stop at normal stops. The bathroom, locker room, and his secret lunch spot had been destroyed by their presence making Gaara extremely pent up. He looked up at a certain [l/n] running his way with baked treats.
"Hey Icy!" He didn't respond only, closing his eyes and laying back on grass.
"How dare he ignore her! Such an ill mannered pig!" Strike one.
"Does he thinks she's out of his league, if anything this is charity.." Strike two.
"The baking club doesn't deserve her, they should shut down." Strike three, Gaara sat Y/n next to him as he cupped her cheek.
"Can I..."
"Hm?"
'Kiss you but don't look behind me until I point.' He mouthed the last part, making Y/n cover her face in embarrassment with a nod as an answer. He gave one glance at the group before kissing Y/n with his hand pressed against her back closing the space between them.
"This punk!" He pulled away, sneakily pointing behind them at the group hiding in the bushes.
"Ah perverts! Why are you staring at us?!" Y/n yelled loud enough to stir up passersbys to look at the situation and judge the embarrassed teens.
"Gross, how dare they disrespect Y/n's space like that!"
'Does my space not matter' Gaara rolled his eyes as he patted Y/n's head to 'comfort' her
"Let's go, these weirdos need to mind their business." He pulled her behind him, The scolding crowd allowed them to escape without any eyes on them and let them hide under the staircase to the gym. Y/n's heart felt like it was going to implode from the quick events that hit her like a ton of bricks.
'That was so much, if he does anymore I'll die!'
"You good? If you pass out I won't carry you to the nurse." Gaara scrolled through his phone while biting into his fruit bar causing Y/n to deadpan.
"You're a good actor, maybe join the drama club."
"The drama club doesn't exist, didn't have enough members and it was lame without any shows lineup."
'Wow so dry, how can one man be so romantic in one second but so mean in the second.' Y/n sighed, she leaned her head against the wall.
"Y/n"
"Wha-" Y/n flinched as he placed an earbud in her ear while holding her holding her hand.
"I've never been in a relationship, I'm just following advice I've been told. So this doesn't make me nervous or even excited which I understand disappoints you." He had a tiny smile as Y/n's flustered words blocked her from making a coherent sentence.
"W-who says I'm disappointed, how cocky you are!"
"Your rush to anger is a good tell." He shuffled through his playlist while he waited for the bell to ring so he could head to his next class.
"You-"
"You're a bad kisser."
"I'm going to kill you."
"You need me for your plan, anyone else would back fire but I gladly would like an out of this." He stole a piece of gum from her bag, he walked away from the agitated Y/n as she took a deep breath.

"I'm so glad, Gaara found someone that he can spend time with beside Naruto." Temari smiled as she cleaned off the batter from her cheek. Shikamaru was leaning in his chair as he waited for her to finish her club activities so they could walk home together.
"More surprising that he landed a popular girl."
"Maybe he used my advice since I'm amazing at relationships." Temari boosted her skills.
"You could barley handle holding my hand on our first date.." He dodged a bowl aimed straight at his head.
"Was that an insult."
"No m-ma'am"
"Calm yourself, Temari we can't afford equipment being damaged." Gaara scared the couple, making his quiet entrance.
"Jesus, you walk fast!" Y/n gasped for air, she had to jog to catch up to him.
"I took the long way, there was a shortcut you could have taken."
'My god, his relationship skills suck..' Temari looked her hopeless brother put on gloves as he was getting ready to bake. She looked over at Y/n's disappointed face, she tagged along behind him.
"Your brother is going to lose her in 20 minutes.."
"Can you help me out here, I used all my advice yesterday!" They whispered yelled between the both of them until Shikamaru gave in and got up from his seat.
"Dont touch that, you'll ruin it."
"I've been standing here with an apron doing nothing."
"You should be used to standing there, looking pretty." He mixed the batter, Y/n was at a loss for words at the backhanded compliment.
"You!-"
"Gaara, come here."
"You saved me from a beast." Shikamaru pulled Gaara into a huddle before Y/n could strangle him.
"Listen, you might wanna be nice to her if you want to keep this relationship.."
"But I have been my nicest?" Shikamaru shook his forehead in disapproval.
"You're going to try harder."
"What do you suggest?"
"Listen, closely..." Temari smiled as Gaara took in the information that Shikamaru was telling him but Y/n was stuck baking the mess that was leftover by Gaara.
'I didn't think my fake boyfriend would be so mean like this..' She sighed as crouched down to see the baking cookies rise.
"Y/n."
"What? Want me to clean the ground you walk on."
"Let's go on a date to that pop up carnival." Y/n choked on air as she couldn't believe the words that came out of his mouth.
"S-Sure! I'll bring my prettiest outfit so don't be afraid to overdress!" He nodded as he pecked her cheek, going back to his activities.
"I didn't tell him do that" Shikamaru sunk back into his seat as he wrapped his arm around Temari.
"I'm so proud of him, he's finally growing on his own!" She smiled at the awkward couple trying to not distract themselves from their work.
This date is going to be a disaster...
