I made this exactly 200 words long.
But don't be too disappointed because another, bigger update is coming today! (If I get a review or two on this one... Nah, just kidding. Don't let that stop you from reviewing!)
Blue eyes met pale.
"Hinata..." he pleaded.
She managed to look absolutely innocent and somehow in dire, dire need.
"Gaara?" She could plead and beg, too.
"But... but... it's the Big Game today?"
"But Lost is on!"
She gave him the I-Have-Really-Big-White-Eyes-That-Look-Purple-And-You-Love-It look. Said white/purple eyes started to get shiny.
"Gaara, please? It's Lost!" Which only happened to be her favorite show. The one she was incurably addicted to. The only show that she ever watched.
Only for her.
Only for Hinata.
He handed over the remote without another word. Her expression of utter sadness switched to one of utter gratitude.
"Oh, thank you! I love you so much!" Her eyes kept getting shinier, too. She flung her arms around him.
It was just a remote! What was the big deal? And it was just one tv show? Not even a game!
See, games were important.
He tried to think of a reason why.
He couldn't come up with one.
Hinata happily seated herself on the couch and was now watching Lost with an avid expression on her face.
Gaara figured there was probably more to this than he really wanted to know.
He just wasn't going to ask.
