Sakura sighed out the window she shared with Gaara blowing her bangs in the air. She and Gaara have been together for three years and it's been going great but recently he's been incredibly tied up in his duties. She already knew in her mind that obtaining the role of a Kazekage means taking a lot of responsibility for the village but still, she felt lonely. Sakura had only a month to spend in Suna before she had to travel back to Konoha and they had already spent fifteen of those days doing absolutely nothing. Sakura tried to ease her irritated mind as the wind laced through her pink locks and she gratefully savored the rarity of a cool breeze in the desert. "That's it! This needs to stop. I'm going to march right in there and tell Gaara how it is!" She hopped off the window sill and ran out their bedroom rushing down the hall and to the young Kazekage's office.

Gaara turned his head to the direction of the door and watched blankly as his pink haired lover stormed in the room. Had he been any other person he would have nearly jumped out of his skin at the shear aggressiveness of the pink konoichi. But this was Gaara and he does not flinch nor will he ever flinch. Gracefully, Gaara sat his pen down and pushed every bit of paper aside to focus on the girl looking dead at him. "What is it that you need, Sakura?"

Sakura snapped her head to the side in order to conceal her blush. She hadn't expected Gaara to turn all of his attention to her like that. He was normally so busy. "Uh … we need to talk." "Great Sakura, that's so freaking' cliché! How could you be any more assertive and original? Oh well, at least he's actually looking at me." But then again she has never bothered come in his plain office while he was working either.

Gaara was puzzled but only gave her a stoic yet odd expression. He didn't remember needing to talk about anything. "About what?"

"We haven't spent any time together!"

"We sleep together." He offered.

Sakura growled, "That doesn't count!" Then her voice softened.

Gaara took notice.

"We just … ever since I came here to visit and assist Suna with my med skills I … I mean …" Sakura lowered her head and tucked some hair behind her ear. This wasn't the first time she has ever been at a loss for words but this HAD to be the worst. Now that she was actually confronting the Suna-nin about her feelings she felt foolish or embarrassed for pestering him about quality time when he obviously had work that needed to be done.

Gaara standing up from his chair he stepped towards her and cupped Sakura's chin. "What's bothering you? Do you need a break? I can arrange something."

Sakura's cheeks held a pink tint as she shook her head. "No, I don't need a break. I love what I'm doing here! I just want us to spend time together Tanuki …" Sakura's eyes darted to his desk. "You're always working. The only time you stop is to sleep and by that time I'm not awake. So please Gaara, just take some time off for me, for us."

Gaara stood wide eyed. He hadn't a clue she was feeling that way because it had never been brought to his attention. Suddenly, the Kazekage felt something at his stomach. He really hadn't been paying her much attention. Gaara pulled her in for a hug and buried his nose in her hair. "Sakura?"

Sakura gasped at the affection and inwardly squealed. She was finally getting his attention! Now if she could get him to confess his lover to her like he did three years ago. Bringing herself down to Earth she glanced up at him and stood on her tip-toes to kiss his thin, pink lips. She noticed the male blushing and smiled. "What's wrong? Too much affection?"

Gaara rested his head in the crook of her neck and shook his head. He wouldn't ever admit it aloud but he loved the attention she gave to only him whenever she pried him from his work. Gaara mumbled a response in her neck. "No …" It had been way too long since they'd done this. It's just that he had the habit of becoming so wrapped up in his duties as Kazekage he sometimes forgot … well actually most of the time he would forget to take time out.

Sakura kissed his flawless neck and ran her fingers through his hair as he leaned into her enough that their bodies were touching. This is was type of affection she was talking about and she knew it was important that she and Gaara got it. She felt happy knowing that her lover could actually relax with her and let his guard down for a while. Sakura felt a pair of arms wrap their way around her slender waist and pull her even closer as she sent butterfly kisses to his cheek and reached to kiss those lips she fell in love with.

Gaara returned the kiss and rubbed his hands up and down her back staring into those emerald eyes as their foreheads connected. Gaara looked at Sakura's rosy lips, beautiful eyes, perfect skin and hair and smiled. It was all for him. "I love you, baby."

Sakura blushed at the words of affection. Even after three years her heart still fluttered knowing that those words were only spoken to her. The konoichi moaned as a set of lips softly collided with hers. Once they broke apart Sakura looked him in the eyes, "I love you too my Tanuki. I love you."

Gaara nodded his head closing his eyes momentarily and looked out the gigantic window occupying the wall of his office. "Better now?"

Sakura shook her head and raised a thin brow suggestively. "No, I still want a little more love … in your bed."

Gaara gulped and smirked. "I'm stuck here until the paper work is done and my bed's not here."

Sakura flicked a tongue in his ear and blew onto the sensitive flesh. "I like being stranded." Feeling Gaara shiver she added. "Don't you?"

Gaara groaned and pushed her against the wall guiding his digits over her neck, breast, and thighs, rubbing the tender spot on her inner thigh close to her delicate walls receiving a gasp and groan sucking on her neck creating small bruises. "Looks like I have a lot of work to do." He whispered close to her and began his business.
