Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey, would you settle for me? I've written tons of yaoi fics and therefore I could write in the persona of a male. I don't really care what character. For Sai, I think Shikamaru might be an interesting complement. Just lemme no via pm if you're interested.

Shikamaru walked back into the apartment and groaned in annoyance. "Why does he always have to play that stuff? It's so troublesome!" he said to himself. He sighed and walked over to the CD player, shutting it off. He noticed something sticking out from under Sai's mattress. "What's this?" He pulled out the book and was surprised to find it was a yaoi manga. "Sai's...gay? Hmm..." He flipped through it, surprised to find he was not repulsed by it...quite the opposite actually.

"It was sticking out from under your bed!" he defended, thankful that he hadn't been asked why he was looking through the book. "Are you...I mean like...do you...are you gay?" He tried to force the thoughts the book had brought him out of his mind, with little success. He turned and winced. "I think you killed my ribs. You're so troublesome. And what does it matter if I was looking through your stupid manga?"

What was with Sai's attitude? "You don't have to get so defensive about it! You think I ever actually pay attention to what people say about my friends? No, I wait for them to tell me themselves. Sai, I'm talking to you, turn off the music." He walked up behind him and pressed the off button again. He snatched the manga again and, without really realizing it, flipped through it. "How'd you manage to get this thing anyway?" His eyes lingered on one picture that reminded him of Sai and he blushed, quickly closing the book again. No, I shouldn't think like that. Especially not about him. He's my roommate, nothing more. Right? He shook his head to clear his thoughts.

Shikamaru coughed and spluttered, a bright red blush enveloping his face. "Interested!? No, of course not! That's disgusting, no way! I was just curious because I didn't think there was any place around here to get that kind of stuff...why would I be interested in that? I'm not...I mean...I...I'm not gay!" He was still blushing furiously. It's true, I'm not gay. I like girls...I just also happen to...like...boys...crap. He forced his blush away. "Stop that! You're so troublesome!" He walked back over to the radio and changed the music. It was now playing The World by Nightmare. "Now this," he declared, "is music." He paused. "And I would never exploit you. I'm your friend." Though I wouldn't object to being more. No. Stop that. Bad brain. Roommate. Nothing more. But...if only... He shook his head again. He'd never fall for someone like me anyway.

His blush crept back over his face when he saw the glint in Sai's eyes. "What're you...wait...no...Sai." He backed up slowly and found his back against a wall. Part of his mind screamed out to run, but right now his body seemed to be obeying the part of his mind that was jumping around happily chanting "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Sai's words struck him. 'they know exactly what you want and know exactly what you're feeling' Did Sai know he liked him? His eyes locked onto Sai's mouth.

He licked his lips nervously. The next thing he knew, Sai had moved, Sai's lips were against his. What am I doing? I'm kissing a guy! My roommate! I'm kissing Sai! He broke away. "No, Sai, this is wrong. I'm not...but..." Screw it, I've got nothing to lose... Right? He resumed the kiss, parting his lips slightly and licking Sai's bottom lip. Hmm...his lips are soft. Not so different from a girl...
