Author's Note: ...yeah, I don't know anymore. I technically really don't want to be back into fanfiction-writing just yet (sorrysorrysorry to all those reading S O V E R E I G N, I will try and finish it sometime in the near future just so I don't leave you guys hanging) but I wanted to post this. GaaNaru is looooove.

Gaara loves Naruto.
It takes him a long time to realize why his heart beats faster at the sight of golden hair, or why he almost can't breathe when he sees a letter from Konoha on his desk. He supposes it's been this way for a long time - he simply hasn't felt it until now. On some levels, he hates it, hates the way his heart twists at the sight of the blond's frown, but he can't deny the surge of happiness inside him when Naruto smiles.
So when Naruto comes to him, asking him for help, Gaara doesn't hesitate to say yes. When Naruto kisses him, he eagerly kisses back. He lets him take his clothes off, and doesn't frown when he turns off the light - because while he may want to see Naruto's face, Naruto doesn't want to see his. And it hurts, both physically and in his heart, but Naruto is hurting so much more.
It's okay, Gaara tells himself. He isn't used to the pain of penetration, of teeth nipping against skin, of sex,
but he is used to rejection.
