Garra's P.O.V
As I walked alongside my teammates, I couldn't help but feel something big was going to happen. We were in Konoha for the chunin exams, I hadn't wanted to come, but mother told me it would make her pleased, so for now, I am going along with the others decisions.
'Mother, do you feel it as well?' I asked, but received no reply. It only served to increase my anxiety.
We walked down a street, everything seemed peaceful enough, until a young boy came running, yelling like a barbarian down the street not looking where he was going, and crashed into Kankuro's legs.
Seeing more following the boy, I used my sand and disappeared into the trees. I wanted to see what Kankuro would do. Would he obey my orders not to cause trouble?
Kankuro looked behind him, letting a smirk cross his face as he didn't see me. More than likely thinking I had left he turned back to the kid that was trying to regain his senses at his feet.
Kankuro bent down and picked the kid up by the scruff of his neck, making the boy panic and start yelling again.
"You should watch where you're going brat." Kankuro snarled at the kid, just as those that had been following the kid caught up.
A little boy, and girl, along with an older girl and boy, both around his age, Gaara would say. The only one that really caught his attention though was the older boy.
Golden blonde hair, bright blue eyes, a pale complexion. Bright orange jumpsuit.
He looked away, the, boy. He was making him feel, feel weird things, he didn't know what the strange feeling in his chest was, the warmth that flooded him, it was scaring him, panicking him.
Against his own judgement he looked up at the blonde again, and caught his eyes.
Blue, pure, unadulterated blue. He was filled with an overwhelming sense of calm.
He didn't completely understand what was going on, all he really knew, was that he wanted more
of that. The calm sense of warmth.
This boy, he practically radiated power, but also warmth, kindness, and, and...
love.
Around this boy, he actually felt, alive. Normally he only felt that way when he had killed, a happy mother, made him happy as well, but even mother seemed happy in the presence of the boy.
Gaara had once overheard Temari talking to Kankuro about how some people could find their mate. The one person they would want to be with forever, no doubts.
Gaara wanted this boy as his mate.
Now having realised he hadn't even been paying attention to what Kankuro was doing, Gaara did something he never thought he would do.
He came out from the trees, ignoring how Kankuro gave a squeak of surprise and dropped the kid, and headed straight for the blonde boy.
Walking right up in front of him Gaara stared into the boy's eyes as the boy stared straight back.
Suddenly, the boy smiled, and Gaara was filled with an overflowing need to make sure the smile never faded.
Slowly, the boy reached out with his hand.
Gaara watched, almost detached from his body as the boy his hand in his own.
"Hey, my names Naruto Uzumaki, what's your name?"
As they boy spoke, Gaara just stared at their intertwined hands for a moment before responding, and for some reason his voice sounded slightly different to him.
"Gaara, my name is Gaara."
Naruto smiled again before his smile dropped a little and became strangely gentle.
"C'mon, you can stay with me today, we can learn a little more about each other then, huh?"
Naruto asked as he let go of Gaara's hand and pulled him gently to his side, wrapping his arm
lightly over Gaara's shoulders.
Gaara stood stock still. No one, absolutely no one had ever touched him in such a way, his hands.
They were so gentle, and, loving. Then he had also offered for him to stay with him all day.
Was this, happiness? He felt? He didn't know, but he definitely liked the feeling.
Nodding slightly, Gaara relaxed a bit, making Naruto smile again and he started to lead Gaara away from the group of gawking bystanders wondering what the hell had just happened.
The end.
Okay, so the whole deal with Naruto acting that way is because when he first meets eyes with Gaara he can see how fragile his mind is at the moment and can also see how his eyes reflect the same pain as him, so he decides to treat Gaara the way he would have wanted to be treated when he was upset. With gentle hands and kindness.
