Chapter 1 – I missed you

Again he woke in the middle of the night; unable to sleep soundly he sat up in his bed. The leaf ninja looked out of the window wondering about him again. As Naruto did every night since he came back from Suna a few days ago. Depressed, lonely and most of all full of fear anything happening to him again. "Or has anything happened already, was he dying again, had they kidnapped him again, dose he needed his help? No, no Naruto stop this, your just imagining things, that's impossible: He can take care of himself, after all he was Gaara of the Desert, the strongest of all sand shinobi and their Kazekage after all. And with his sand protecting him he was almost invincible, so what could happen. With this thought in mind Naruto was finally able to sleep even if it was only for a few hours.

One month later, and what seemed like one thousand sleepless nights Naruto woke with the strangest sensation. Today was the day, the day he would finally see him again. Naruto jumped out of bed and got dressed, he shoveled in his breakfast and then he almost took the door with him when he stormed out to join the welcoming ceremony for the Kages. It was the first day of the chunin exams, and of course Gaara would come. Because if not, Naruto thought to himself, he might go crazy. He just needed to know if everything was alright.

An than, after what seemed like an eternity waiting and a million thoughts about what he would do if Gaara wouldn´t come, there he was strong and as Naruto thought, gorgeous as ever , Gaara stood in front of him, smiling this wonderful smile which hunted Naruto in his dreams. Warmth spread through the young man's body while staring at those diamond green eyes and Naruto felt all his fears fall off him in this split of a second. "Hello Naruto" said the sands Kazekage and before Naruto realized what he up to, he launched himself at Gaara with his arms stretched out in front of him and tears of happiness pouring from his eyes. And that was when it happened, causing everyone around them holding their breaths and staring. Gaaras sand didn´t react to protect him and the two young shinobi flew to the ground, Naruto on top of Gaara hugging the redhead tightly never wanting to let go. And Gaara felt the same way and if he could he would have made this moment last forever.

The sensation of Narutos touch still lingering on him the young Kazekage struggled to his feet and Naruto with him. The nervousness and embarrassment Naruto felt in the moment he got up and saw everyone else aroung him staring, was almost unbearable. A nervous grin appeared on the blonds face, when he realized completely what he had just done and he started babbling, just like he always did when nervousness, or happiness, or whatever feeling took over. "Oh my god Gaara, I´m sorry I didn´t know what I was doing. I was just so …. And then I…. and than we were …. And I ….. and and …. Oh my god Gaara …." Nervous hands flew all around him, making his embracement even more visible. But then Gaara did something no one would have ever expected and would never believe if they wouldn't have seen it with their own eyes. He closed the short distance between them and hugged Naruto tightly and with all his heart. The young Kazekage was a little bit shocked by his own actions, but it felt so right in that moment, that this feeling of uneasiness fell off him almost immediately after it had started to form. With this small gesture he silenced Narutos babbling in an instant. Even though they were surrounded by the whole welcoming committee of Konoha, to them it felt like they were the only two people in the world. After a few minutes standing like this and comforting each other, just before Gaara ended the hug he whispered softly into Narutos ear." I missed you too, you know" causing the little hairs on Narutos arms to stand, when he felt Gaaras warm breath on his neck. Gaara smiled at him, a gorgeous and honest smile which made Naruto blush even more when he stepped back and looked into those wonderful green eyes of that one person he had missed so desperately, the last four weeks.

And then, Tsunade stepped in, pretending this like nothing happened, she welcomed the Kazekage and his siblings. She asked them to come in to have some tea and also to discuss all the matters concerning the chunin exams. They did as they were asked and went in. Leaving behind a stunned welcoming crowed and an even more stunned Naruto. He was standing there unmoving and breathing slowly. Completely mesmerized by what had happened just a few minutes ago, with a big smile on his face and happiness dancing in his ocean blue eyes.
