Gaara has never felt loved before. No one is welling enough to give it to him. He was always alone on days like valentines day, such as today. He would set and watch as lovers held each other and gave each other gifts and kisses. Not that he mind. Gaara would rather be alone. He didn't need this thing called love, he didn't want it either. That's what he told himself as he sat and watched the people around him setting in their loves arms.
"Gaara-sensei!"
Gaara turned as he heard someone running toward him. He saw a brown haired girl, few years younger then him, holding a box closely to her chest. The girl, Matsuri, came to a stop in front of Gaara and bent down to catch her breath. "What is it?" Gaara asked noticing how cute Matsuri looked today. She was wearing a light pink dress. "I..have...sometime..for...you," she said in between breaths. Gaara's raised a non existing eyebrow at the girl. "For me?" He asked.
Matsuri nodded and handed Gaara the small box that she was carrying. Gaara held the box in his hand and stared at it. "What is it?" He asked.
"A gift," she said smiling as her cheeks turn red. "For helping me and..." Matsuri's blush deepened as she stared at her feet. "It's what you do on Valentines days," Give gifts to the one you love. She added the last part to herself. Gaara blinked then slowly lifted the lid. His eyes widened slightly at the object laying neatly in the box.
"I hope you like it," Matsuri said looking down. "I made it myself, specially for you,"
It was a little teddy bear with a friendship bracelet warped around it's neck. Gaara carefully pulled the bear out of the box and looked at it closely. Then a rare smile spread a cross his face. "I like it."
Matsuri looked up surprised. "Really? Cause I spend all night on it."
Gaara nodded as he put the little bear in his pocket. "Thank you," he said then turned toward the sun as it began sitting. Matsuri walked over closer to Gaara and watched it with him. "I love the sunset. It always reminds me of..." Matsuri started to say but stopped as a deep blushed covered her face. "Of what?" Gaara asked looking at her. She blushed harder and looked into Gaara's eyes. "You."
It was Gaaras turn to blush as he stared at her wide eyed. Matsuri then ran up and kissed Gaara on the cheek then ran off. Gaara stood there shocked, as he slowly raised his hand to his cheek. He take a deep breath then looked back toward the sunset.
