A/N: first try at a Hinata/Gaara fic, even if it is a oneshot.
Couldn't Be Said
Hinata walked in the park at sunset thinking of what had happened.
Flashback
Gaara watched as Hinata protected her comrades. She was doing a fantastic job, like he'd ever say it though. Hinata looked over to Gaara; who was staring at her intently. She soon found herself in someone's arms; completely rendered immobile.
"Know this my chimitsu hana, you shall always have a place in my heart." Then everything went black, and Hinata couldn't comprehend what had just happened to her.
End Flashback
Ever since that day, she had been wondering who exactly it was that had said that to her. Naruto didn't like her, he was with Sakura for Pete's sake! Kiba didn't like her, plus he wasn't even there that day. Shino was with Ino. Sasuke, please, wasn't even in the country! So who was it that told her she always held a place in their heart?
--/Gaara\--
He couldn't stop thinking about Hinata, why, was beyond him. He wasn't supposed to love people, he lived only for himself and he loved only himself. Life had become so complicated since that day, he had to make sure that he avoided Hinata at all costs; or risk her finding out that it was him who said that.
--/Hinata\--
For some reason, Hinata's mind kept drifting away to Gaara of the Sand. She knew she liked him, somewhat, but still; he would never say that to her, let alone like her at all. She was too shy and he
claimed that he would never love someone. So how could he possibly love her, she was going insane trying to convince herself of that; she couldn't deal with the heartbreak again. But the words he spoke that day… they kept playing in her head.
'Know this my chimitsu hana, you shall always have a place in my heart.' Maybe it was Gaara, but was she sure that she loved him back? Well for one, she always blushed when around him, she was nervous as hell when he spoke to her, and she couldn't stop thinking about him. But she couldn't tell him, it would ruin the friendship they had. Then again, maybe ruining that friendship needed to be done in order to create a different relationship. Now all she had to do was tell him…
--/Gaara\--
Gaara was taking a walk along a stream to calm his jumpy nerves. How was he supposed to tell her? She would surely never like him, let alone love him. But still, the feelings he was harboring were killing him! He had to tell her, so at least she'd know how he felt. He would meet her somewhere and tell how he really felt.
--/Hinata\--
Hinata was walking through the forest and was watching the clouds move by slowly as she walked. She all of a sudden bumped into someone. Gaara looked down into Hinata's lavender eyes and gave an extremely small smile. Hinata looked up at Gaara startled and gave a quick apology.
"You have no need to say sorry, I was looking for you actually." Gaara stated. Hinata blushed furiously and her eyes widened considerably.
"And what is it that you need from me?" Hinata wondered. Gaara's eyes softened when she said this, so she didn't know that he was the one those many days ago.
"You and your love." And with that, he captured her lips in a kiss that told Hinata all of his feelings. He loved her and now she knew that it was him that day… it was he who told her she always had a place in his heart.
