ACGOMN: No comment for this.

I don't own Gaara or anything but Miki and the plot.

Die Liebe, die ist… (This Love Which Is…)

He sat up in bed waiting. The Godaime Kazekage was hardly a patient man, but only for her he would be. The former Jinchuuriki of Ichibi no Shukaku was waiting for his girlfriend, if you could call her that. Gaara never really pondered the title to which to call her within the vicinity of his two older siblings or Naruto. They never went on what would one perceive as normal dates but rather just sat in his room or on the roof in each other's company. Plus they could not be seen together on a date in the public. It would look bad to see the current Kazekage with an Iwagakure Jounin.

"Gaara get some sleep," said Temari poking her head in the room.

"You get some sleep yourself," said Gaara.

"You're waiting for her again. You know she is probably still is reporting to the Godaime Tsuchikage," said Temari, sighing. Gaara just glared at his older sister. "Fine but if she is not here by midnight go to sleep." He just nodded to appease her. Gaara thought to that Godaime Tsuchikage who was relativity young and new being appointed only four months ago. Gaara owed it to him otherwise he would never have met her, but he also knew how the fellow Kage of his felt about her. Now Gaara realizes that their relationship is not set in stone but he knew that she would never do something like that to him.

"Gaara," said the voice of her.

"Miki," greeted Gaara to the girl standing on his windowsill. She had medium length dark pink hair and yellow eyes. She had a lean figure still in her ninja gear.

"I'm sorry I made you stay up," said Miki. "Tsuchikage-sama made me redo my report."

"It's okay." Did Gaara mention that the Tsuchikage kept her away purposely from him when she went back to Iwa? Miki was a liaison for Iwa to Suna like Temari was to Konoha. So she constantly went back and forth in between the two places.

"No you should not have waited up for me," said Miki, frowning.

"Miki shut up," said Gaara, bluntly. "Come here and lie with me." If someone told him that he would be saying this a few years ago, he probably would have killed that someone. Miki nodded and went into the bed next to him.

"I missed you," she said.

"Ah," he replied. Both did not realize how tired they were and soon drifted off to sleep. But Gaara, despite the fact he can sleep without fear of a demon taking him over, still has a plethora of nightmares. So when his eyes shot open he was holding onto Miki for dear life. But she didn't even seem to notice because she is used to it by now. Gaara sighed and ran his hand through her hair. Now Gaara was not one to notice the beauty of things, but she indeed was very beautiful. Miki would tell you otherwise. She has a very low self-esteem and does many things to please people. Gaara always thought she was too nice to be a ninja.

"Gaara did you have another nightmare," asked Miki. He supposed she woke up while he was pondering some things.

"Ah," replied Gaara. She gently touched his cheek but he grabbed her hand and stared intently at her. Gaara would never be used to her touches. Then he kissed her on the mouth lightly and she did not object. She kissed him back. "Stay with me." Miki knows that Gaara will never say he loves her, if he loved her that is. Btu she doesn't care. If only for a little time she can make him happy she will do whatever, because she loves him but knows not to say anything. And they both suppose that this is how far their relationship can go. Because Miki loves Gaara and Gaara just wants her near him.

"Okay."

ACGOMN: Review please.
