Chinese New Year
blackharu2
The Kazekage was relaxing peacefully in his large room, unbothered by his siblings. Unfortunately the consistant ringing of the telephone was keeping him from full relaxation.
He distantly heard as a member of his family picked up the phone. He figured it was Temari after hearing the voice say: "Moshi-moshi?"
Gaara continued to listen to the one-sided conversation, "He's here hold on." The redhead listened as footsteps neared his room. His door opened and a groggy Temari holding a cordless was standing in the doorway.
She put a hand to the bottom of the receiver, "It's for you Gaara," said boy hastily took the phone from her hands. The blonde rolled her eyes at her younger brothers actions, but quickly fled the room.
"Gaara?" a male voice questioned.
"Yes, Lee?" the redhead replied.
"Guess what!"
"What?"
"It's the Chinese New Year!" Lee shouted with excitement.
"We're not Chinese." the Kazekage deadpanned.
"So? We should celebrate!"
"No."
"Why?"
"We're not Chinese," Gaara repeated.
"But--"
"Why'd you bring this up anyways?" the bored tone in his voice made the other shinobi pout.
"I just wanted..."
"Wanted to what?" Gaara asked, his harsh tone softening.
"I wanted an excuse to call you," the redhead could feel the heat creeping up his neck to his cheeks. He took a second to pretend to comtemplate, feeling as though his voice would fail on him.
"You...don't need an excuse...to call me," he said, completely opposite of his normal persona.
Lee squeaked happily, "Yay! Then I'll call you tomorrow!" the hyper-active teen responded. Gaara sighed in annoyance at what he had just gotten himself into.
"Fine. I'll talk to you tomorrow, Lee. Bye," he was just about to hang up when he heard the Konoha citizen continue.
"Okay, I can't wait. Bye," and with a click the line was disconnected. Gaara found himself smiling at the taijutsu master's words. He hung up the phone and placed it on the stand beside his bed.
He leaned back onto the soft mattress, attempting to relax once again. He would have fell fast asleep if it wasn't for his inability to. Gaara sighed as he repeated the previous conversation in his head, a small smile gracing his lips.
