A Boy and His Emotional Friend

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8 yrs.Later

"GOOD MORNING!!!" Mia chimed, walking into Gaara's bedroom. Gaara just groaned and rolled onto his shirtless stomach. Sometimes he would wish that she would just leave him alone!

"Go away..." Gaara groaned into his pillow. He pulled the blanket over his head.

"Awww, don't be like that. Besides you've got training today." Mia argued.

"..."

"Gaara-kun?"

"...''

"GAARA, WAKE UP!!," she screamed, tearing the blanket off of him. A sudden blush filled her cheeks as she realized Gaara was lying there in only... his black boxers!!

"AHHHH!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, throwing the blanket at him, and scaring the red-head half to death.

"I'M AWAKE, I'M AWAKE!!" Gaara yelled, shielding his ears with his hands from her screaming, his face almost as red as his hair. After she calmed down a bit she turned her back to him and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Where are your pants?! You know I come here every morning."

"I was tired last night, so it just slipped my mind. Besides, it was your fault." he stated sarcastically. While her back was turned, he put his black pants on, then walked past her to get his usual black shirt with fish-net sleeves from his closet.

"Well, you wouldn't wake up, so I-"

"I was awake." he said,cutting her off while pulling his head through the shirt and grabbing his giant gourd.

"Then why didn't-"

"I didn't want to answer," he cut her off again.

"Stop doing that!"

"Why?" He gave her a smirk and swung the gourd onto his back. She growled at him.

"Fine! I know where I'm NOT wanted!" she said, hurt showing in her tone and eyes. "I just wanted to help!' she snapped. She stomped out of his room, slamming his bedroom door behind her. Hearing the front door slam shut, Gaara went over and stared out his window.

After waiting a minute, he saw Mia turn the corner, rubbing her eyes as though she was crying as she walked down the sandy street parallel to his window. He could see traces of tears on her cheeks. The sight made his heart throb with guilt. After she was out of his view, he left to begin training.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mia walked down the sandy streets, rubbing her now puffy-red eyes. She kept her head down and eyes glued to the ground so no one could tell that she had been crying.

"Stupid Gaara." she mumbled to her, glaring angryly at the street. Boys never appreiciated ANYTHIING!!! And they always think nothing is there fault. He acted like she made a big deal of nothing. Sure she's seen him half-naked before, but it's still highly embarassing. In fact, he should have been the one embarrassed! I mean, a girl just saw him half-naked for goodness sakes! Not that she was complianing much. He is very handsome and his body is...well the thought of him was making her blush madly. She was enjoying pleasent images of him and when he had 'accidently' fell into the river...okay so she might have given him a little push, but it was sooo worth it. She began to wonder if she was the only that has ever seen him so...normal. Yep, she was pretty sure that she was the only one. Mia was still a little ticked at Gaara and in need of company so she decided to visit her friend.

Mia walked all the way to the other side of Suna and turned into an apartment complex. She hit the buzzert on the outside intercome.

"Who is it?" said a voice on the other end of the intercome.

"It's me." Mia replied.

"Who's me?" The voice questioned.

"MIA!" She screamed into the box, causing it to make a staticy noise.

"Okay okay, hey that hurt my ear ya know!" the voice shouted back before buzzing Mia in.

Mia made her way into the elevator and pushed the button with a number 5 on it. The giant metal box creaked as it started to move upward. 'It's been so long since I visited her'. The elevator creaked to a stop as it reached the fifth floor. She stepped off the elevator and walked down the the hall. She went looked at the numbers on the doors a she passed till she came to one with the number 509 on it.

"Here she is." Mia said to herself. She lightly knocked on the door and waited for an answer.After a few seconds she heard coming towards the door on the other side. The door opened and Mia's friend smiled brightly at her.

"Weelll...long time, no see!" Her friend said.
