He had already experienced pain and sadness at a young age everyone feared him but she was different. How was he to know that his life would change during that trip to the park. Everyone moved away from him as he approached the swing set but as soon as he sat down she appeared before him smiling.

Hi, you wanna play together?

He glared at her as she made her way to sit next to him on the swing set once she sat down she immediately had his sand wrap around her body and slam her to the ground he got up and walked away.

Next day:

Everyone had always left him alone but as soon as he sat down she appeared in front of him smiling

Hi my name is Haru. Do you want to play together?

He glared at her again and before she even made it to the swing next to him he wrapped his sand around her throwing her to the side and walked away.

Next day:

He sat there and again she appeared smiling.

Hello do you wanna play together?

This time there was no sand. He sat there for a bit swinging with her she smiled widely the entire time. He got up to leave and she grabbed his hand. Wait what's your name? His sand threw her to the ground. He turned to see her covered in dirt smiling at him.

See you tomorrow!

Next day:

Once again she appeared as soon as he sat down on the swing she was still dirty and smiling this time with an Apple in her hands.

Do you wanna share?

She got closer and not soon after felt the sand surround her body.

Its not poisoned.

She bit into it then stuck it out to him he got up standing in front of her taking the Apple and eating it she smiled Widely he slightly blushed and was about to walk away but stopped.

My name is Gaara no Subaru.

Next day:

He came to the park and sat on the swing set but she wasn't there he stayed there waiting for her but she never came.

2 days later:

He came to the park and sat on the swing set and there she stood right in front of him smiling bruises all over her arms and legs covered in dirt.

Hey gaara you wanna play together?

One look at her and he immediately approached her caressing her swollen cheek looking at her with concerned eyes she just kept smiling.

Who did this to you?

He grabbed her hand pulling her to follow him.

He seemed shocked. He smiled kissing her head making her blush she looked up at him.
