The Reunion
Chapter 1-
Naruto's side-
It has been two long years since I had life the village to train. And it was finally time to return. I had many thoughts running through my head at the time but only one remained: How was the re head named Gaara doing?
The first time I had talked to him was frightening, but just talking to him made me realize how beautiful he was. The way his sea green eyes glistened in the moon light, and how his silky blood red hair flowed in night breeze. That alone told me that there was nothing to be frightened about. He was the most beautiful person I had ever meet.
I was so happy to be back in the village after two years. As usual the first people to greet me were my team mates, and the other people of the village. But it turned out to be my lucky day, Gaara and his siblings where in the village. For what I did not know.
I stood off in the distance thinking of what I should say, or do next. As tons of emotions ran through my mind, my body stared to move with out me telling it to. I wasn't the first to say hi. Gaara was, "Welcome back Naruto!" Shocked with embarrassment, my cheeks felt hotter than normal. "T-thank you. What are you doing in the village?" We are on a mission, but anyways how was your training?" Gaara asked with joy in his eyes (which was a rare sight.)
"It was great. We went to a lot of different places." As shocked as I was to see Gaara with joyfulness in his eyes, I myself did not know what to do. So I just went with the flow.
Gaara sat back down in his seat and offered me the seat next him. "Oh that's great. I hope you enjoyed your self."
We carried on our conversation for a while, but when his siblings left the atmosphere had a whole different feeling to it.
I hadn't noticed it until then that Gaara had gotten a lot closer to me. It was kind of cute how he sat there; leaning into me. I mean sure it was kind of awkward, but I liked it… A lot.
Then out of nowhere Gaara asked me a question: "Hey Naruto, can we go somewhere more privet?"
I was shocked, and a little creeped out by his question. But I gladly accepted. We decided to go to my house. We walked all the way to my house in silence, and I could tell Gaara was nervous. So when we got to my house I tried to start a conversation.
"I don't have much, but make yourself at home." "No, no it's ok. I really don't care, but thank you"
When we had gotten settled in I asked "so what was it you wanted to tell me?" I noticed that he was getting red in the in the face, so I told him that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. And to tell me whatever he wanted to.
"Um… Naruto… I don't know how to explain it so… I'm just going to come out and say it."
"Ok, what is it?" Honestly I just wanted to hear what he had to say, and you could tell it was personal.
He hesitated but eventually said what he had to say. "Um… I love you Naruto."
