Hugging Gaara, Chapter 1
Gaara meandered slowly through Suna. The sky was clear today, bright and blue, as usual. He wore a red cloak over his normal outfit to disguise himself from the populace- Temari's idea. Only his green eyes appeared in the dark of the shadow of his hood. He wanted to get out and about, but not be mobbed by the entire village, bowing and murmuring "Kazekage-sama" at him. Sure, he was proud of his position, but being a celebrity has its cost.
He walked into a restaurant that was just to his right. Inside it was dark, lit only by candlelight- perfect for Gaara's disguise. He looked around. If he knew fully how to love, he would have supposed that the setting would have been romantic, especially with his billowing cloak and practically glowing green eyes. The corner of his mouth turned up slightly.
He walked to the reception desk and asked for a place in the back of the restaurant. At the back was an area much like a bar- the bartender, stools, everything. He let his hood down and walked to the back. A few girls stared at him as he passed, confusing him. They didn't recognize him, did they? They didn't seem to look at him in awe, but with an emotion that Gaara couldn't identify.
Eventually he arrived at the back and sat down on one of the stools. He ordered a small drink and drank quietly, minding his own business, as usual. After a while, a young woman sat down beside him. Gaara stole an inconspicuous glance at the woman.
She wore a set of full-length white robes, with her hood also down. She wore a silver necklace with a sapphire pendant. Gaara recognized her- she had been one of the girls staring at him as he walked by. She turned to look at him. Gaara subconsciously brushed his hair in front of his tattoo, just in case. Then something happened that completely caught Gaara off guard. His sand was back in his office, and didn't make a sand shield.
The woman stood up, walked closer, and all of a sudden had wrapped her arms around Gaara. Gaara was motionless in shock. He felt his eyes uncharacteristically widen and mouth drop. She backed off, feeling his stiffness. Her eyes were slightly apologetic. "Sorry," she began, looking embarrassed. "It's just, you're so…so…you know…I lost control for a second there." She flashed him one more apologetic look and walks away, leaving Gaara in utter confusion, staring after her.
He shut his mouth and returned his eyes to their normal positions. What was so special about him that a young woman would do that? She implied that he was …no. He refused to think that thought. He didn't fully understand the love between two people, but he thought deeply about it, barely hearing the almost silent chuckles of the other men in the bar area. Still wondering, he paid his tab and walked out of the restaurant. He left his hood down, and realized that some young women were still staring at him as he passed. Maybe he was what they would call "gorgeous" …
