Crumbles to the Ground
Summary: The rules: 50 prompt words, one to be used per sentence. I accept with my own little condition: it must loosely flow like a story. You become the judge, how did I do?
Disclaimer: I'm not Kishimoto Masashi impersonating a fan-girl so he can write his own gay-fluff. If it worked that way…
01 Ring
Gaara looked at his promise ring which was useless but he found to be so precious.
02 Hero
Worshiping a man as God made little sense to one who was a hated monster amongst his peers.
03 Memory
Naruto promised to give Gaara more pleasant memories to soothe him when the bad were all the red-head had left.
04 Box
Naruto returned to Gaara in a ratty old pine-box, because quote 'jinchuriki deserve no better resting place in this world.'
05 Run
The Godaime kazekage sat through the achingly slow council meeting, a place from which he only wanted to flee from in a furious sprint.
06 Hurricane
Working with the Daimyo of Wind a hurricane sprang forth destructively, much like the late Naruto's rasengan.
07 Wings
"Kankuro, if Naruto has become an angel; would they trust him to have wings?"
08 Cold
Gaara was not cold and he did not mourn the pass of his lover because he too died; well again and more permanently inside.
09 Red
"Temari…I hate red, my hair, the blood…and it used to be all I could see…"
10 Drink
Alcohol had topped his list of hated beverages, because Naruto said it more often than not brought the demons out in a person.
11 Midnight
Contrary to clichéd beliefs, Gaara knew Midnight was the world's hour of vigilance not sleep.
12 Temptation
The slight figure was tempting and beautiful with her blond ponytails and green eyes to all; but Gaara thought of another more tempting blond long since dead.
13 View
No matter how the limber girl moved and danced Gaara was never rapt as when Naruto tripped over his own feet; especially if his ass came into view.
14 Music
The samisen, biwa, and kokyu were distracting noise designed to disarm shinobi, yet Naruto was fond of them and so Gaara respectably listened.
15 Silk
Naruto was cremated in his chunin garb, which was unfair and cruel for an ANBU who should have been swathed in silk with the infamous porcelain mask.
16 Cover
Gaara stared pensively at the soft bedding; but the memories were too sad to touch the beloved covers.
17 Promise
Gaara could recite every promise Naruto ever made to anyone and proudly knew each was kept all but the one made to himself.
18 Dream
It was such a waste for a dream to die before its fruition, but Gaara gave it a few last breaths by allowing Naruto to be Hokage if only in a slumber-induced wish.
19 Candle
"Naruto…was the tiny flame in an oppressive void, who wouldn't follow such a candle?"
20 Talent
Gaara had much talent with his sand, but it didn't save him from his first death and couldn't induce his next.
21 Silence
There was so much silence in the psychiatric ward and Gaara listened vainly for his lover's cracked voice.
22 Journey
So many dictated Gaara's life, and now this 'therapist' rattled on about some 'journey to reclaim happiness' and got pissy when the kazekage asked why he prevented it.
23 Fire
After conceding defeat over the 'journey debate' it was decided that perhaps Konoha could 'salvage the pieces' as though sand and fire ever mixed.
24 Strength
It was a wonder, Gaara thought, how the sand-glass required great strength to make, yet so little to destroy it.
25 Mask
Monotonously Gaara explained once more that he didn't wear an emotional mask and that he was dead inside and his body hasn't quite caught up to the fact.
26 Ice
When he and his entourage arrived in Konoha Gaara learned that snow was just frozen water and not all that special.
27 Fall
Storybooks spread lies because Autumn was not cold in Konoha but frozen in an early Winter.
28 Forgotten
Dutifully the red-head trudged back to all his lover's haunts and again because he was terrified he had overlooked one.
29 Dance
Sakura's eyes were queer and her posture meek and irritating when she asked the Kazekage to dance.
30 Body
Being dragged by the pink-haired woman wasn't as bad as when all the bodies pressed up against Gaara's at the club so people could have dry-sex while standing.
31 Sacred
It had been a sacred ritual for Naruto and thus one for Gaara to uphold; though Gaara could scarcely eat two of Ichiraku's ramen bowls but he tried.
32 Farewells
It was bitter relief to bid farewell to Konoha, the cradle-home of Gaara's lover.
33 World
Sunagakure, Konohagakure, the world in general, and Gaara wanted the red-head dead it seemed as the squad faced down an ambush.
34 Formal
Being accepted back into office was a pompous, formal affair even though Gaara never really left it or retired, just 'went on a journey to happiness' that was desolately futile.
35 Fever
The most hilarious part about returning though was when Gaara and his guards came down with a high fever barely thirty hours after returning to Suna.
36 Laugh
For Gaara the flu's delirious dreams were sweet and rang with his lover's laughter as they lay together like old times.
37 Lies
When Gaara grew well he had to face all over again the lies that he would find another lover.
38 Forever
Love may be tattooed to his forehead, but Gaara knew his forever lay with dimpled whiskers.
39 Overwhelmed
It was ten years after Naruto's death when Gaara was overwhelmed with grief and he cried harder than when Yashamaru betrayed him.
40 Whisper
Ever since his public tears Gaara could hear the whispers though Temari denied they had anything to do with him.
41 Wait
It was an agonizing wait but Gaara knew he would rejoin Naruto one day.
42 Talk
A week after his cry Kankuro decided him and his 'baby brother' needed to have another talk.
43 Search
The council it seemed had searched high and low for a bride for the kazekage much to his wrath.
44 Hope
The presented him with a young kunoichi full of supple curves and hopeful baby eyes.
45 Eclipse
On the eleventh anniversary of Naruto's passing Gaara sat alone and watched as the moon over-shadowed the sun.
46 Gravity
When Kankuro and Temari passed away on a mission it felt like gravity had evaporated and control was floating away.
47 Highway
Without warning his village the troubled red-head took to the wilderness until he came across a small highway.
48 Unknown
He followed the road to the next town which Suna had never heard of; so it was perfect.
49 Lock
After renting out a small hotel room Gaara locked himself away and listened for the voices of his precious people.
50 Breathe
It was funny, Gaara thought after a heart attack, how much better he could breathe when he was dead.
CR~ I wrote this…a long time ago. So if it is a little iffy, I'm sorry I just had a hard time going back to re-write it and so I left it as is. I'll probably do this with a few other pairings so feel free to correct me or request a pairing; any I'm pretty okay with anything.
