Shades Of Attraction

Chapter 1: Cream and Sugar

Gaara had always liked flowers.

It was a well-kept secret between him and his siblings, but it was true. He had been amazed by the perseverance of those flowers that managed to bloom in his desert country, and the colors of those he had seen in Konoha were- though he certainly never say so out loud- beautiful.

He had a peculiar fondness for roses, especially white ones. They reminded him of a certain someone- someone who was just as beautiful, or maybe more so, but who was also as dangerous. He never revealed this little secret to anyone.

So imagine Gaara's surprise when he found a single white rose, in full blossom, resting on the pillow of his untouched bed. He didn't even have to read the little note underneath it to know who it was from.

And imagine Temari and Kankuro's surprise when they got back to find their little brother gone, and a white rose in a vase of water on the counter. They did, however, need to read the note.
