Have you heard the legend of Icarus? The story of a boy who had gotten wings of wax, flew too close to the sun, just to have those very wings melt and have him falling back to earth to his death. Gaara has heard this story; it is a reminder to him, to keep his head low, getting too close to the sun will just cause problems. He has always believed that; just so he wouldn't burned by those dreams that seemed just so far-fetched.
But now it's as if the story has changed, or is changing, at least to him.
The story that has kept him rooted to the ground for so long is disappearing and a new legend is taking place. The story of a boy who's hair shines brighter than the sun, who's eyes are as deep as the sea, who burns with passion and a will of fire. Who can take whatever comes his way, and make through alive. He may get injured, he may even be on the brink of death, but he will refuse to die, or he's too knuckle-headed, and he will grin so wide that it seems too bright to look at, and raise his thumb as if stating he's fine and everything will be alright.
And he will change you.
Naruto will change you. Because he can go through the sun, and around it, and he can take you with him, just to see how it is. To bask in the warmth, and taste this freedom that is almost impossible to gain. Those who know Naruto, and have basked in his light, understand this. Just as Gaara understands.
And now, as Gaara stands next to this sun, he lets a smile grace his lips taking in the warmth he radiates, as the sun, Naruto, grins back in the same, assuring way as always, now they stand not only equals; but as friends.

I'm not saying I'm back because whenever I say that I take another couple of months or so to post anything ever again. So here's something random because I love Gaara and I love Naruto. Enjoy~
