Gaara sat in the rain, staring at the door to Lee's house.

He didn't really know why he was here. He knew he had a crush on this older boy in the green spandex, yet he didn't want to tell the boy how he felt. Gaara had heard the boy known as Rock Lee liked some pink haired girl named Sakura.

It just wasn't fair.

Gaara didn't want to go back to the hotel he was staying in, yet he didn't have enough courage to knock on Lee's door.

Gaara shuddered slightly from the cold. He could feel his heart ache, even though Gaara felt that there could be a chance there was also the possibility of being rejected.

"Gaara?"

Gaara blinked and realized that Lee was standing over him with a red umbrella.

"What are you doing here?"

"I..." Gaara could turn back any moment. But...

"I came to see you... Lee."
