: STORY START:
"Okay, so I'll come by around 7ish, okay?"
"Okay that sounds good…the only thing is…nah, never mind. Forget it."
Concerned, you asked, "Gaara? Are you sure it's nothing?"
"Yes, im sure. Don't worry, have fun with Temar…never mind that either. Just make sure you're on time!"
"…Temar? As in 'Temari?' why am I having fun with her until…?"
"…she's supposed to keep you occupied until 7. Im paying her."
"You do know that al that money is just going straight into the Mall? She has been dying to get me to go shopping with her, and now you gave her the perfect excuse."
"I see…and that's bad why? Maybe you'll find something to wear tonight?"
"…if this were a book, I'd be speaking a series of dot dot dots right about now."
"Oh yeah? Why?"
"Because, you should know as well as anyone, I hate shopping! Im fine with my baggy sweaters and cargo pants!"
"Yeah, well I'd like to see you in something other than clothes that hide your gorgeous body."
"Oh yeah? And what if some other guy tries to steal me away from you, after seeing my 'gorgeous body?'"
A low chuckle resonated from His chest. "Well then, I'd have to kill him."
You could sense the dead seriousness from him, and you wrapped your arms around him. Resting your head on his chest, you sighed in happiness. "Well, as long as I could still have you, I'd be happy."
Gaara locked his arms around your waist, and kissed the top of your head. "I could die a happy man right now, knowing that."
"But you won't, because then I'd have to join you, and who wants that?"
He straightened abruptly, seeing your father pass by on the street in his car. Your father didn't approve of any of your boyfriends. Gaara was the most recent in a long line of broken hearts. Only, you weren't going to break his heart like you did the others. Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba, Neji, Kankuro, Shino, and you're most recent (as of 6 years ago), Shikamaru… Temari was still angry at you for hurting him. You looked up at Gaara's face, and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Im going to go home now, I bet Temari is already there waiting for me. See you later!"
Instead of answering, Gaara cupped your face in his hands and kissed you. When you broke apart, he had a slight flush spreading across his cheeks. "Be careful. Don't let Temari drive or im afraid you'll never show up tonight!"
You smiled, and leaned in for another kiss.
"Love you"
"I love you too."
"I know you do."
"Hey, Gaara, don't get cocky."
He smirked. "I wouldn't dream of it."
"I know you wouldn't, you're always too busy dreaming of other things…or people."
He reached over to give you a playful smack, but you avoided it, and started running in the direction of your house. "See you soon, Panda!"
