A short little story I made about Gaara because I was bored... Enjoy.

Gaara was all by himself, like always. Just sitting on a swing in the closest park to his hut of the Sand Village. He was just staring at his feet, then hugged his teddy bear tightly when he heard other children. Why did they all hate him so much? He had never done anything wrong, had he?

No, Gaara was a good boy. He always did what he was told. Although, it was just so someone would just give him any sign of affection.

He always ate his vegetables so his father would notice he was trying to grow up to be big and strong and not fat and chubby like his brother Kankuro. He always put away his toys, made his bed, brushed his teeth regularly; he did all of the things an eight year old wasn't suppose to do! And he still hardly ever received "thank you"s, smiles, nods, or even a first glance.

He sighed and hugged his teddy bear as tight as he could without popping its head off. And then he heard giggling from nearby… Why was there giggling?

Gaara lifted his face from his teddy bear to see who or what was giggling; he saw a little girl standing in front of him. She was cute, small like him, had a big smile, big brown eyes, and two buns in her hair.

The little girl moved her face closer to Gaara's, making him back his away. "H-hello?"

The little girl giggled at Gaara. "You're not here to hurt me, are you?…" Gaara questioned, gripping his teddy bear in fear. The little girl shook her head, still smiling at the little Gaara. "Th-then…why are you here?"

She did not answer; instead, she ran to the center of the park and began to dance with herself, not caring if Gaara thought of her as a silly monkey baby. 'D-dancing?…' Gaara thought, getting off of the swing he was on to walk toward the girl.

She was so graceful dancing; she was like a little ballerina. Gaara smiled as he sat down on a nearby park toy to watch her. He felt like he was watching lyrics to a song come to life to express themselves because the song they had made together just wasn't enough; it was amazing. And she hadn't run away from him in fear; she was actually the first person to get that close to his face.

Even though he had only known her for half a moment, Gaara thought he had fallen in love with this girl. No, he didn't think it; he knew it. He didn't care if he hadn't heard what her voice sounded like, what things she liked or what her favorite color was; he didn't even care that he didn't know her name. But he did know that he was going to marry this girl.

He hopped off of the toy to dance with her; and he supposed he would find out her name. He thought it over and figured it would be silly to call his wife "wife" instead of her name.

"Um…excuse me?" He asked when he reached her, tapping her shoulder. The little girl turned around to smile at him; and tilting her head as a way to ask what he wanted. "Uh…" Gaara said, fiddling with his teddy bear and not even looking at her. "M-may I da-?"

Gaara had been cut off by the little girl. As soon as he was starting to say the word dance, she smiled happily and kissed him right on his lips. Gaara just about turned as red as his hair when she kissed him. And he was steadily getting there because she was not letting go of his lips. 'They're so soft…' Gaara dropped his teddy bear, closed his eyes and began to kiss the strange girl. He knew deep down his heart that, no matter what, he would grow up to marry this girl.

A whole minute had gone by before the little girl stopped kissing Gaara; she looked at him and giggled when he turned an extremely bright shade of red. She was pretty sure that that color was fru fru pink…

"What's your name?" Gaara asked, still blushing; he could barely look at the girl after that because he was so embarrassed.

Again, this girl did not speak. Instead, she pulled out the hair band that was holding up her right bun, and gave it to him; then kissed his hand after she had folded it around the band.

Gaara; fighting back all of the butterflies in his tummy that wanted to make him fly away; opened his hand to stare at the hair band in awe. He knew that he would keep it with him forever.

"Ten! Tenny! Hunny, it's time to go back to Ko-" A woman; Gaara was automatically thinking it was the girl's mother; was calling as she looked around the park. Then she saw the two little children together. "Tenny, get away from him!" She said, running to her daughter and pulling her away from Gaara.

The two young ones reached out for each other, but were just barely out of reach. "Wait! Please don't go!" Gaara called out for the girl, who had turned away to look at her infuriated mother. "I told you sit still for five minutes and to not wander off! And what happened to your hair band! You, your father and I are going to have a long talk about this when we get home, young lady!"

The little girl looked back at Gaara and waved at him. "Bye, Gaara…" She said just loud enough for him to hear.

Gaara's eyes widened in shock a little bit and his little heart was racing. She had known his name. That meant that she must have known who he was. And she still didn't run away… And she even kissed him!

His heart was racing with so much love for the girl, and being broken into a million pieces at the same time because she was leaving and he knew it would be for the last time. It was always for the last time when parents dragged their kids away from Gaara…

He fell to his knees as he watched the girl leave with her mother. Then sat on his heels and stared at the little gift she gave him once they were completely out of his sight. 'Tenny…'

He stared at it for ten minutes, thinking of what he'd do with it. He wanted to keep it, but he also didn't want to. He wanted to find out if he'd ever see Tenny again or not; then he got an idea.

Gaara buried the hair band right under the swing he had been sitting on. If it was there the next day; he would meet the girl again and marry her one day. And if it wasn't…then he would continue to live his life the way it was.

'Please be here tomorrow…' Gaara begged the little hair band as he patted the sand down flat to make sure the wind didn't blow it away and cheat him out of the only love he'd probably ever have.

After that, he stood up, looking at the spot to make sure it looked normal. Then looked around to make sure no one had been watching. Then stared at it for one more moment; he smiled at it this time. "I know you'll be here for me…Tenny." He said to spot he had buried the band. After saying that, he picked up his teddy bear and ran home to get ready for supper.

Well, that's it. Think I should continue? Gonna put up a poll about it. It'll stay up for one week. So, if you wanna see more of this story; vote! Heck, say so in the reviews! I don't care! Lol. :P
