Gaara watched the small uke as he made his way back to the castle. His name was Neji and he worked as a personal servant for the prince. He was beautiful standing at a height of 5'6 and weight of around 150 pounds. He was curvier then most of the ukes that Gaara had ever seen. As the general it was his job to keep everything in the castle safe and peaceful. His favorite task was following Neji to the market to make sure no harm had come to him. For he was beautiful with his long chocolate colored hair and lilac eyes. Many had come and asked the prince for Neji's hand but he had denied them all because he felt it was Neji's choice to decide who he wanted to mate.
Neji was walking up the dirt path to the road that would lead him to the back entrance to the castle when a man popped up in front of him. He jumped frightened he had no expected the man to materialize in front of him. "Hello, can I help you?" "Why yes you can. My name is Ronerio and I am one of the suitors who have come to seek your hand in marriage." "Oh, well I am Neji and it is very nice to meet you but I must get back to work." With that Neji attempted to walk around Ronerio, Ronerio grabbed him back making Neji drop the groceries in hand. Neji turned and smacked him "How dear you put your hands on me!"
Ronerio still reeling from the smack attempted to hit Neji back when Gaara grabbed hold of his hand. Neji and Ronerio looked surprised "Do not put your hands on something that does not belong to you." Was all that Gaara said. Ronerio looked at the man he was huge at least 6'7 with crimson hair and foamy sea green eyes. He was built as if he was made of stone and his grip was tight. Ronerio nodded and Gaara let go of his arm. "If I ever see you at the castle again consider yourself dead" Ronerio again nodded before dematerializing. Gaara turned and looked at Neji who was picking the groceries up and bent down and begin to help. Neji looked up at him "Thank you Gaara-sama for helping me out!" He spoke timidly.
Neji had a little crush on Gaara but didn't know how to express it. "You welcome Neji " rumbled out Gaara in a sinfully deep baritone that reminded Neji of melted chocolate. Neji blushed and stood up groceries in hand. Gaara took the groceries out of his hand and begin to walk up the path, Neji instantly linked arms with Gaara looking up to see his reaction. He could see nothing but the smell in the air changed tinted with a scent that he recognized but could not identify. They reached the gates and the guards saluted Gaara and greeted Neji before opening the gates.
Neji lead Gaara to the kitchen and said "you can put the groceries on the counter" Neji usually wasn't allowed outside of the gates but Gemma the usual cook had caught the flu and couldn't get out of bed. "Thank you again Gaara-sama for helping me out" with that Neji stood on his tippy toes and pressed a kiss to Gaara's chin seeing as that was the only thing he could reach. Gaara nodded to Neji before leaving the kitchen.
