It was a warm sunny day, as usual, in Suna. Gaara was sitting in his office, working on his Kazekage duties. A soft breeze came in by the open window, lifting the shocking red hair from the pale forehead.

The door opened and Gaara glared at the paper: who dared interrupt him?! A cool hand swept his hair to the side and touched the "love" tattoo. Oh…! It was her.

"Gaa-kun, come on, stop working. I want you to loosen up a little!"

He looked up, amused. In front of him, his long time girlfriend, Brianna, was standing, her hands on her hips. Her long brown hair was brought up in a ponytail and an exasperated expression narrowed he electric blue eyes.

Sighing, the red head closed his eyes. "You know I can't do that Bri-chan…"

"Not even for me?" she pouted.

"No can do." Temari's voice said. "Kazekage just got important reports from the war with Oto."

Handing the stack of paper over to her younger brother, the tall blond smiled. "Sorry."

As soon as they were left alone, Brianna pouted, poking Gaara's forehead.

"Awww, Gaa-koi, please come with me! Pleeeeeeeeaaase? Pleasey, please please? Pleasey, pleasey, please, please? Pleasey, pleasey, pleasey—"

"Enough!"

The brunette stepped back, stunned by the sudden outburst of the normally stoic red head. Her lower lip trembled and tears sprang to her eyes.

"S-sorry…" she whispered. Her voice shook with tears as she ran out the door. "I just wanted to see you smile!"

Gaara shot up, intent on following her. He hadn't wanted to yell! He didn't want to upset her. Running after her scent, he found her sitting on the roof of their house.

"Brianna…" he whispered.

She didn't look up from her knees. "What?"

"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to… I—"

Looking at her, he opened his mouth to say something but closed it, hugging her instead.

"Hush, love… I'm sorry. Please, please forgive me…" Smiling, he followed. "See, I'm smiling for you, won't you smile for me?"

Gazing back at him, she smiled back and kissed him. "I'm sorry too. I know I shouldn't have bothered you while you were working…"

Gaara chuckled. "As long as it's you, I won't mind, but keep smiling okay?"

I never want to see you cry again, the sight alone will break my heart

So keep smiling, I just want to see you smile, keep smiling, keep smiling ~
