Lovely lemon!
Just say yes
Yet another Month later
Kiya and Gaara had been out on about 5 dates now, the library was almost ready to be opened and Gaara was once again getting pressured to get engaged. "You only have 2 months left Kazekage-sama." A council member reminded him.
"I am very aware of that." He snapped having heard that exact same sentence twice now from 2 other council members.
"Why are you bothering with this Konoha Kunoichi? She will be going back to her village soon and the council is unsure what your intentions are."
Gaara stood "My intentions are my own. I will have a fiancée by the appointed time and I advise YOU to keep in mind that although you are the council to the Kazekage that I AM the Kazekage and have the final say no matter what you may think about it." And with that he walked calmly out of the room. He didn't need their approval and neither did Kiya. He loved her and she loved him that was all the approval he needed. He stuck his hand through the opening in his robes and put his hand in his pants pocket feeling the small velvet box hidden there. He had to ask her or else she would be gone off to her own village and he would probably never see her again.
He was going to ask her tonight. It was Friday and he was taking her out to dinner to celebrate the imminent opening of the library. Once the Library opened the city was going to host a party for the opening in the Kazekage ballroom in the Kazekage tower and that is where he would announce his engagement. It was perfect; there would be nothing the council could do about it once it was officially announced to the entire city. He smirked as he imagined the looks on their faces. Once he reached his office he opened the door to see Kiya working on re-organizing his file cabinet, she was on the last drawer. She was bent over the bottom drawer, her legs slightly apart and her ass in the air. The ass that he told her time and time again that he couldn't resist touching. This was no different. He shut the door quietly and came up behind her and gave her a hard spank with the back of his hand.
"OH!" she cried out as she snapped her back up perfectly straight. "Gaara!" she scolded him.
"You know better than to bend down like that." He said innocently walking back behind his desk and sitting down. Kiya just huffed and brushed her hair out of her face.
"Gaara what should I wear for tonight?" Kiya said sitting in one of the chairs in front of his desk.
"Nice. Be ready by 7." Was all he had to say and she nodded. The rest of the day was spent working. Kiya left at 5:30 and ran home to get ready. She knew the dress she wanted to wear, he had yet to see it, and she wanted to wear every dress she had before there were any repeats.
She washed up and got everything ready. The dress she had picked out was black with spaghetti straps and a straight neck line. The skirt flared out from her waist and floated around her as she walked with the multiple layers of light material that made it up. Her hair was in a low side pony tail in loose waves as it cascaded down over her shoulder. She wore silver strappy heels and a silver necklace with a little fairy on it holding a sapphire. She had gone with a smoky eye and soft pink lipstick. Her trusty clutch was with her as always as she descended the stairs. There he was waiting for her like he always had been with a hand on the banister. She smiled and he smiled back. She could see the love in his eyes but it seemed just a little more intense than before. She had always felt beautiful with the way he looked at her and she never wanted to lose that feeling. She stepped off the last stair and laced her fingers through his and they set off for their destination.
Gaara took her to the same restaurant that they had gone to on their first date. Kiya was extremely excited for the grand opening of the library and she talked about all the exhibits and this and that. Gaara found himself nervous again. It was more intense than anything else he had ever experienced. His hands were shaking, he knew now the reason Kankuro kept telling him not to ask her too soon, this feeling was ridiculous! He just wanted to get it over with. But he wanted to make sure he did it right and if asking her in the restaurant, despite the fact that they had their own room, was not the proper way to do it then he wouldn't. Besides this was a public place and he wanted to keep this as low profile as possible until the grand opening next week.
Gaara slid his hand into his pocket to check once again that the ring was still there, it was. Kankuro and Temari had drilled into his head what the proper way to hold out the ring was, when he should get down on his knee, what not to say when he was telling her how he felt and what to say. Anything any one could possibly know about proposing Gaara knew it and he was sticking to it by the letter. The dinner went by slowly and once they were done, Gaara could hardly contain himself. He had learned everything about self control but this was nerve wracking, asking someone to grant your future happiness and having the possibility of them saying no. It was terrifying.
Gaara walked leisurely around the city, leading Kiya to where ever he decided to turn. She had taken off her shoes and laid her head on his shoulder trusting him to look out for anything that would harm her bare feet. Eventually they came to the gates of the village. The guards noticed the Kazekage and nodded, a few giving him knowing smiles, apparently some of them had done what he was about to do and recognized the nervous aura around their Kazekage.
"Kiya?" he said quietly
"Hm?" she looked up at him as he stopped a little way out from the gates.
"I would like to take you somewhere very special." He said into her ear and she just smiled and closed her eyes.
The guards watched as their Kazekage leaned into the young lady Librarian and whispered something in her ear then disappear in a small whirl of sand.
"I remember doing that." One of the older guards said to no one.
"Doing what?" a younger ninja asked
"Proposing to the most beautiful woman I had ever seen." He replied his voice seemed far off as he remembered a distant memory. The other guards nodded in agreement.
Gaara and Kiya reappeared out far away from everything.
"Open." Gaara whispered and put his hands on her shoulders as she took in the sight. The moon was almost full reflecting off the sand and illuminating the scene in an ethereal glow from just in front of them. Kiya's eyes sparkled as she saw the little oasis in the middle of the desert, a palm tree or two littered the bank every few feet casting short shadows toward them. The water's surface was as calm as black glass perfectly replicating the sky above it.
"Gaara, its beautiful." She whispered back to him. She turned and he met her half way, the oasis to the side of them now. Gaara took her hands in his and looked into her eyes.
"Kiya I have something important that I would like to say to you." Gaara's voice trembled for a moment before continuing, seeing her nod. "I love you, you know that. I have never met anyone like you. I have never been so confused or enamored by any one in my life. You know about what I was, you see me clearly for who I am not what I was or what my title is. You make me feel happy and I have never felt happy to the degree I do when I am with you." His hands shook as he released one of hers to dig into his pocket and draw out the small box. "That is why," he got down on one knee and presented the box to her. "I would ask you to make me happy forever and be my wife." He opened the box. Her eyes started to water, and her mouth dropped open in surprise then covered it as she looked at the ring. "Kiya, will you marry me?" her eyes shined with tears as she smiled at him, his eyes so hopeful.
"Yes! Yes of course I will! A thousand times yes! A milli-" he cut her off with a kiss.
He pulled the ring out of the box and slipped it on her left ring finger. They parted and she looked at the ring for the second time, taking it in. It was gorgeous and perfect!
"Do you like it?" he asked nuzzling his nose into her neck.
"Gaara its perfect where did you find it?"
He smiled "the last jewelry shop in Suna. Kankuro and I went to them all and this was at the last one." She held her hand out to look at it from farther away. It even sparkled in the moon light.
"Wait, when did you have time to go to every jewelry shop in Suna?" she asked, she had been with him or he had been working all the time.
He chuckled "Remember that meeting I had a month ago and had to give you the day off?" she then started to laugh too. "Let's go home." He said as he picked her up and disappeared again.
"YAY! I finally get to have a sister!" Temari squished Kiya in a huge hug.
"Temari, air!" Kiya gasped.
"Right." Temari said and let her go. "So when's the wedding gonna be?" Gaara and Kiya looked at each other.
"I guess a better question is 'where is the wedding gonna be?'" Kiya said looking at Gaara again, she wanted the wedding to be in Konoha but as the Kazekage he should probably get married here in Suna.
"Kiya why don't we go up to the bedroom and talk about this privately first?" Gaara said ushering her up the stairs. Once the door closed Gaara was on her carrying her to the bed.
"But Gaara! I thought we were gonna talk about the wedding. AH!" she said as he dropped her over the bed letting her bounce for a moment.
"Later." Was all the response she got from him. He crawled toward her already having disposed of his robes. His lips crashed into hers, his tongue searching her mouth. He found the zipper on the dress easily, pulling it down slowly then peeling the dress from her heated body.
"Gaara." She breathed his name like a mantra into his ear.
"I'll never get tired of hearing you say that." He whispered back as he threw the dress out of the way somewhere. He pushed her back into the pillows at the head of the bed. His hands ran up and down her body as he kissed her with all the love he could. She parted her legs and he settled between them, his knees and elbows supporting his weight. "Kiya, I love you. I love you so much." His voice cracked
"I love you too Gaara." One of his hands roamed up the inside of her thigh and rubbed her damp underwear covering her opening. "Oh! Gaara!" she moaned as he moved the cloth aside and pushed one of his long, slender fingers into her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for another kiss. Gaara pushed in another finger inside her and she threw her head back gasping. She had never had sex like this, so intense but so loving at the same time.
One of her hands ran down his abs and came into contact with the waist band of his pants. Deftly undoing the button and zipper that held them up she reached in and took hold of him.
"Ohhhh, Kiya." She heard his fingers tighten into the sheets next to her head.
She stroked him softly just like he was stroking her. He slipped her underwear down her legs and threw them somewhere in the room. She opened her eyes and looked into his. They were the most beautiful hue of dark jade she had ever seen. With her other hand she touched his face running a finger over his lips, his nose, his 'love' kanji and finally through his hair. She grabbed his pants with her toes and pulled them off him. She had found in the past that when he was wearing real pants he didn't wear underwear and that was just fine with her. He unhooked her strapless bra then leaned back to take her in. The blush on her cheeks, her kiss swollen lips, her heaving chest, flat stomach and open legs. She was beautiful and he loved her with everything he had in him.
"Are you ready love?" He asked as he brushed the hair out of her face. She nodded and he pushed in slowly.
"Oh, Gaara." she whispered into his hair. He set a slow pace as he rocked himself against her. She held on to his shoulders, one hand in his hair and the other around his neck, their lips constantly connected. She was moaning into his mouth, he sped up. "Gaara, oh! Don't stop." She threw her head back and he attacked her neck his thrusts quickening by the second.
"I won't." he murmured against her shoulder in response. Her arms tightened around him and he sped up again.
"I love you!" He said looking into her eyes when he felt the beginnings of her orgasm.
"Oh God. I love you too! OH!" she arched her back as her walls contracted around him. He let out a guttural moan as he came inside her. Their muscles relaxed and they lay panting against each other. He pulled out of her but did not leave her arms.
"Wow." She sighed from under him.
"Yeah." Was all he could manage.
They stayed like that for some time before Gaara rolled off her and cuddled into her back.
"Now that we have that out of the way can we talk about the wedding now?" Kiya looked over her shoulder at her fiancée. Oh she loved the way that sounded: fiancée.
"Very well, first things first. Where to have it? The Hokage said that she would allow our wedding to take place in Konoha if that is what we wanted."
Kiya looked at him "you wrote the Hokage?" he looked back.
"Yes, of course. I was not going to propose to you then find out that your Hokage would not allow us to get married." Gaara said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"But you're the Kazekage; won't they want you to have your wedding in Suna?" Kiya said
"I assume so." Gaara answered her. Kiya thought for a moment then a thought occurred to her.
"Gaara!" she turned so she could see him. "Let's have two." He was yet again confused.
"Two? Two weddings?" he looked at her like she was crazy.
"Well think about it! We could have the wedding that we want in Konoha with our friends and your family first then come back to Suna and be married again here, for the village. We could be on a balcony and all the villagers could be down there watching. You would be including them!" Gaara thought about it for a minute, it was a good idea.
He smiled at her "I knew I loved you for a reason." Giving her a quick kiss. "Now when?" he asked and she smiled. She, like every other girl, had thought about her wedding. She could never decide between spring and summer but now she could have both!
"The first in late spring and the second in early summer." She answered automatically.
"Okay, that gives us another few months. Fall is ending soon." Gaara thought out loud.
"Plenty of time!" Kiya was starting to get excited "Let's start tomorrow!"
Gaara realized that he had yet to tell her about the announcement. "Kiya there is a problem." She started to pout but listened to what he had to say.
"The council is…difficult to deal with. I fear they would not approve of you and try to stop our engagement if I were to tell them. I propose we wait until the grand opening ball for the library. I have to make a speech any way and I thought that I would announce our engagement then to the entire village that way the council would be powerless to stop it." Kiya gradually started to smile deviously.
"You, Kazekage-sama, are sneaky!" she giggled, loving his plan and giving him an Eskimo kiss.
"I am well aware of that." He answered her. She threw her arms around his neck giving him a real kiss.
"Does this mean I can't wear my ring?" she said looking at her left hand as she pulled her hands from around his neck. He took her fingers in his hand and kissed her knuckles.
"I'm afraid so love." She frowned but nodded. "It's only a week, then after that you can flaunt it all you want." He gave her his small smile and she smiled back.
"So colors. What do you think?" she got confusion again. Gaara's knowledge of weddings was limited. He knew you had to have a place and a time but beyond that he had no idea. She started to laugh "you have really never even thought about this have you?" he shook his head. "Its okay honey, most guys have no clue either." She rubbed his back like the day the council told him he had 6 months to be engaged.
"I suppose I will tell you the things that you have to be in charge of. Number one: you are in charge of groomsmen meaning the guys that you want up there with you; they are like your back up. Understand?" she looked at him
"Why would I need back up? You aren't going to attack me." He said trying to wrap his mind around the concept.
"No I'm not but they are there for moral support like if you get nervous they will be there to help calm you down and stuff like that." The light of understanding switched on in his mind, he imagined that getting married was ten times more nerve wracking than proposing, he would defiantly need someone up there with him.
"Okay." He said.
"Alright number two: you are in charge of finding a suit to wear. I know that you think you can just wear your robes but for the wedding in Konoha I want you in a tux." Confusion again.
"What's that?"
"A tux?" he nodded. Kiya face-palmed.
"It's a type of suit that's really nice, I'll give Naruto the particulars and he will fix you right up, all you have to do is look good in it, do you think you can handle that?" she gave him a cheeky grin he smirked back at her.
"I actually think that is it, that's all you really have to worry about. I'll handle the rest, you just gotta be there." she brightened once she realized that was it.
"Now back to what I asked; the colors. Weddings usually have a color theme that pretty much everything adheres to, it makes everything match and look included." She explained. That seemed to make sense to Gaara so he nodded for her to continue.
"How about we make things easy? Let's do the wind's colors, unless you want a different color?" he thought for a moment, he liked the blue and white idea he was the Kazekage after all.
He said "I think those colors are good."
Kiya smiled "why don't we add in some silver just for shits and giggles? So blue, silver and white, that sounds pretty! I'm happy with that."
Gaara sat up and hugged her from behind. "If you are happy then I am happy." She put a hand over his and the other on the side of his face.
"The wedding here in Suna should be simple enough. You'll just wear your robes and I'll wear whatever I decide. Well I guess you need to find a person to legally marry us here but that should be it. The one in Konoha will be challenging. I'll have to plan everything without you then have you come the last few days before. I bet Naruto will want to throw you a bachelor party and me a bachelorette party, great."
"What is that?" Gaara asked again.
"A bachelor/bachelorette party is a party thrown usually on the night before someone gets married because it is that last night of that person being single and they want to have one more night of doing crazy things before they have to settle down. It usually involves lots of drinking and possibly strippers. God, I am not looking forward to that." Gaara didn't like the sound of it either; he had to keep up appearances. "Maybe we could go out together? Like you and me and our friends a few nights before the wedding and go have fun. It would be like a joint bachelor/bachelorette party."
Gaara still saw a problem "Kiya, I can't go out to a bar. What would people say?"
"Right! No public fun for the Kazekage." Kiya teased then thought for a moment. "Transformation jutsu for the win! We could disguise you and then you could do whatever you wanted! You and I could even dance!"
"I don't know how to dance in a bar!" Gaara stated a little worried.
"It's not hard I'll teach you once this thing goes down, that is if Naruto wants to do it, if he doesn't bring it up then it's not happening." Gaara just nodded.
"Oh my god! Look at the time! Its past midnight! Wake me up at 7:30 okay?" Kiya said as she laid back down and snuggled under the covers with Gaara right behind her.
A/N: so I was totally crying when I wrote Gaara's little speech, it was just so sweet when I read it back!
