Chapter 1

I stared at my best friend who was also staring back at me. His cold teal eyes bore into mine as if he's reading my mind. I gave him a quizzical look. "Is something wrong, Gaara?" I asked. He nodded slightly then looked away. The redhead slowly grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. I let him wrap his arms around me as it turned into a hug. I smiled knowing that this is one of his peaceful days. We have been friends for almost 2 years. I didn't know exactly what came into my mind that I decided to become his closest friend, or maybe I was the only one.
He was alone at that time. No one to talk to and no one to be with. A complete loner he is. His weird and silent attitude adds to it. No one wants to be with him that time. He tends to make everyone go away. Even the friendly Naruto was shooed away. It was an activity and everyone in class was asked to have a partner. The class is even so no one is excused. I didn't have a partner yet and everybody has. So I scanned the room looking for a pair and I spotted the lonely redhead. He was so into his emo moment. It's as if he doesn't want to get involved with the said activity. I walked over to him and he looked at me with cold eyes. With a slightly shivering voice,"Uhm… Can you be my partner?" I asked. He just stared at me. I was thinking that he will dump me off but then, "You want me to be your partner?" he asked. His voice was so emotionless yet it was velvety. "Hai.. Will you be my partner?" I asked hopefully. He thought for awhile. Then he nodded a yes. I was happy he agreed. I sat next to him and did the activity with him for the rest of the class. He was quiet yet cooperative, though he doesn't clearly show it. He was always ready for an answer when I raise a question. I admit I find his silence a bit creepy but I like it. He was not bubbly and loud. He is calm and recollected.
Whenever there was a project, I would do to him and be his partner. And if it's a group project, I would ask the teacher if we could do it as partners. I noticed that he won't cooperate if we were too many. I guess he also likes me to be his partner as well. My classmates asked if I had a crush or something on him but I just laughed at them and tell them no. I would say, "He's nice to be with." And with that, I walk away, leaving them speechless. One time, I did a project with him. We did it in his house. I was surprised when he brought me into a mansion. "You own this?" I asked. He quietly nodded. I met his brother and sister, namely Kankurou and Temari. We did it in his room. His room was so neat and as if he never uses it. Soon we finished and went down for dinner. His siblings argue about Temari's cooking but Gaara and I paid no heed. Gaara was first to finish and left for his room. Then Temari asked me, "Are you his girlfriend?" Kankurou focused on my answer. "No. Just a friend." I answered. "He never had a friend," he said. "Yeah, he refuses to let anyone get close to him. That's why he keeps changing schools."Temari stated. I smiled. "Yes, and I'm glad that I became his friend." Temari and Kankurou smiled at me."We're glad that you became his friend but," Temari stopped." This is just a warning." I was confused."He has a very weird attitude. He speaks to no one in particular. He said it was a voice in his head and claims it to be mother." Kankurou said. I raised an eyebrow. "He likes seeing blood and when he is angry, he will hurt anyone who messes with him." I can't believe what they're saying! It was just impossible! Gaara seemed to be quiet and kind. Not what they are saying. "But, it seemed that he barely do it now. We think you are the reason." Temari said, "Thank you." I looked at them in understanding. "If ever you needed anything, just say it to us." They said. I smiled and bowed."Arigatou" then walked to Gaara's bedroom. I said goodbye and he took me home in his car. I said goodbye and he drove off.
As days passed, he started to become more social to me. He opened up and told me all his problems and what he is. He said his father hated him and so his sister and brother, which is false. They loved their baby brother very much. He said that he killed his mother when he was a baby. And the voice in his head was his mother. He was alone in this world and he doesn't know why he deserved it. He said that he was a monster. I explained to him that he was wrong. I think it did soothe out his troubled mind. Soon, we became very close friends. Maybe we looked very close since everyone calls us lovebirds. I love him so much because he is always there for me. He was already like a brother. I can feel that he loves me too as his sister. I understand him and that's what made him trust me. I've seen his 'troubled' times. Yes. He was talking to the said voice and it will say that it needs blood. But Gaara learned to control it because I told him to. His siblings are very thankful that I can, at least, control him.
He brought his lips in my ear and whispered, "(y/n), please stay with me tonight." I sighed. "Can't you sleep?" I asked. He shook his head. "Fine, as long as you give more pillows," I joked. He nodded. He has insomnia hence the dark rings around his eyes. He usually put on eyeliner, making him look gothic. Same goes with his clothes. He dresses like a rebel Goth. But I like it anyway. Since the day I became his bestfriend, I was welcomed in their home as a family. I was living away from my family. I'm alone in my own house. Gaara often sleeps in my house when they had a fight with his father.
I settled in the couch when Gaara went to me and laid his head on my lap. "Do you want me to sleep with you?" I asked in my softest voice. He hummed in response. We got off the couch and go to his bed. He hugged me and laid his head on my chest. I softly caressed his head while humming a lullaby. "(Y/n)" he whispered. I smiled as I placed a kiss on his head. His pale arms wrapped around me as he yawned. "I never get to sleep without you…" he said for the longest time. I gradually stopped humming and smiled. "Goodnight, Gaara" I said as he yawned, "Goodnight." He soon fell asleep.
I looked through the window and saw the bright full moon cast his light over Gaara's bedroom. It was dark and cold. I said my prayers and closed my eyes.
