And There Goes My Heart And Soul
Picnic Madness
(O_O) I don't own Naruto. Just Ame.
A/N: Hey guys, I know that you read it, very few of you…. I SEE THE HITS I SWEAR TO IT! Lawl, this chapter was written by the amazing Gaara of our group. On a side note, as I type up this chapta bro, I'm listening to Augustana. AND BRO! For those of you who watch Degrassi, if any at all, I tots love the song they use in the Now Or Never promo. Its Augustana's Steal Your Heart. ^^ And Eli stole mine, and broke it when he went psycho and he and Clare broke up T.T, on with the chapter.

You were everything I thought I didn't want in a life partner. You are overly emotional, speak your mind openly, seek human interaction every five seconds and you act like a child. Strangely enough I love all this about you; the way you bug me to talk about my feelings, the bear hugs or even the tantrums. You're strange, a foreign species to me since the first day we met. I find myself a hint of loneliness when you're not around or wanting to speak to someone on a particularly crappy day.
It's Tuesday, there is no school today, and so we're stuck in my house in silence. You decide it's too gloomy from the rain outside so you do what I'd least expect. You grab your outrageously bright red coat accompanied by sparkly black rain boots and head for the door. You begin to tell me that you'll be back in five minutes but I was too busy typing away on my laptop. You see that I'm not paying attention so you sneak up behind me and plant a quick kiss on the crook of my neck.
I'm taken aback by the sudden contact and suddenly get up to leave. You can't help but feel unhappy when you see me act as I do. You see that I am just too antisocial and have been deprived from any physical contact but you want to change that. You think to yourself that maybe, just maybe I'll change.
I enter my immaculately clean room and set the laptop down on the oak table. I'm tired, so very tired but anyone would be if they don't sleep from fear of turning into a monster while unconscious. I sit on the windowsill watching the rain populate the ground and spread it's dreadful existence. How could anyone feel compelled to walk in such a horrible day? Who could possibly like this? The answer? Well you guessed it.
You run out and bellow my name as you prance about in the vast forest outside. (A/N: Which is ironic cuz right now they're in Suna!) You move back and forth in graceful movements attracting rain here and there. It didn't bother you that you were soaking, you just kept jumping about laughing and singing to yourself. The small red form radiates the drowsy scene and brings an up lifting feeling. Carefree, you're just so carefree that you don't even think of the consequences of your actions.
I quickly grab an umbrella, my heavy black boots and my blood red coat as I sprint for the door. You always make me feel this way, I want to protect you, but you make it so much more difficult. I reached the last door and find you on the ground, splashing some puddles surrounded by mud. As you notice me you laugh off your embarrassment.. Concerned for your health and safety I bring up the umbrella towards you and help you up.
You grab a hold of my hand and pull which makes me end up on the ground next to you. The next thing I know a handful of mud settles on my face, and you run off towards the trees. You're challenging my patience again, as you call out my name from the forest treetops.
Summoning up the small amount of dry sand left I took to tracking you. I found out at our tree, the one in our clearing you took me to four years ago on my birthday. The tree where we had our first many firsts. Out first kiss as kids, first fight, first make up, first shared ramen, it was all at this tree. IT stood tall and proud with branches leveling with age. It had been a place to relax and retreat when you left but it had been forgotten.
I snap out of the memories of our past as I heard the crack of a branch in the distance. I quickly move towards the top branch as you began to fall. You fell unconsciously, defenseless… what? I catch you right before you could land on a branch. You felt warm and you looked… dazed.
You must have a fever from the rain. 'So she's been taken down by the rain. How ironic!' I think to myself as I hold you closer to my body. We were pretty far from my house, but if I create a mud barrier I can move faster.
I made a huge sphere of mud and sped off to our safe haven. You can be so reckless sometimes. You know you become weak at random times so why waste so much chakra and get sick?
~Earlier Last Week~
"You need to get out more often" You were in the kitchen attempting to make lunch but are seemingly distracted.
"What's the point? There is no need when everything I need is in the house," I said without looking away from the paperwork.
As the Kazekage, I don't really have much time to do anything but go to meetings and do paperwork. It was stressful to maintain a whole village but I was given this job so I have to try.
"Let's go on a picnic or hiking. I'll pack lunch and plan everything," you walk towards me looking hopeful with your eyes.
"When do you want to go? I'll see if I can make it happen," I sighed as I looked up and reached for a stamp.
You smiled and hugged me as you began to thank me frantically. It hurt but I allowed you these few minutes of happiness. I secretly liked the feeling of being held but I'd never admit it, not even to you. I encircled my arms around you trying to get more in the moment.
Suddenly a trail of burnt scent traveled to the room. You quickly run back to the kitchen and began to fix the food. I looked away as I began to imagine how the day would go.
~Friday~
"It's decided! We'll go on Tuesday there isn't any class and I know just where to go," you smiled as you took off your shoes and removed your weapon bag. Then you jumped on my back as I walked by you.
"Gaara! Did you hear me? I decided on a day… TUESDAY!" you screamed happily as you began to laugh.
I tried not to be angry and throw her off to the wall but it was hard. I genteelly pulled her off my back and rook off my headphones.
"So you decided Tuesday huh?" I looked straight at her smiling face and couldn't help but feel a bit of excitement.
"I guess we will have to get things for this picnic then. I think I'll go with you tomorrow. I have a meeting at noon so we'll go after" I flashed a small smile as your eyes widened with surprise.
You were as excited as a child as she ran, to the phone to call Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, and everyone else. I put the headphones back on and walked back to my office to work on another pile of paperwork.
~Back to Tuesday~
I carried you back to our home and placed you on the couch. You stirred a bit but stayed asleep.
'Well this sucks. I was looking forward to today'
I glared out the window towards the dark clouds. This was supposed to be a special day for us. You are usually tired from teaching students all day at the academy and I have endless amounts of paperwork. It puts a strain on our relationship and makes you sad.
"Gaara?" a small voice called from the couch.
"Stay there you're still weak," I walked back the couch and bent down to face you.
"Did I win? You finally went outside so I did didn't I?" you looked up at me with eyes full of achievement.
"You did" I smiled as I hugged her catching a glance of her blush as I came towards you.
"Sorry it didn't work out but I had another plan if this hadn't worked out" I whispered into your ear. I stood and wrapped an arm around your torso and under your knees.
"W-what are you doing? Hey, whoa put me down" you began to struggle.
"You're still weak and I don't want you running out again," I began struggle.
"I've always wondered what was up there. Nee, nee, did you know it was going to rain?" you looked up and poked at my face looking for answers.
"I felt more moisture un the air yesterday so I called in a favor while you were away," we reached the door and as I opened the door you began to gasp.
The room was large and had been painted to look like nature with many trees and trunks. The floor had artificial grass and in the middle was a picnic blanket and basket. You were excited as you looked back and forth taking in the breathtaking view.
I stayed at the doorway staring at you as you felt the grass, the rocks, trees and the trunks. You stared up at the painted sky on the ceiling. It was absolutely wonderful to you and interesting to watch you.
We sat down and ate our lunch as we spoke and laughed. We finally got to propose!
"Will you marry me Ame?" I looked at your eyes and gave a half smile.
"Yes, yes I will!" you jumped up and down then glomped me.
